Chapter 196 Shock It

Guan Zhengqing finally set foot on his way home, but with a clear expression of helplessness and dissatisfaction on his face.

Guan Zhengqing was not very happy with the conditions from the Land of Canglan, but he had to accept it.

The Canglan Country did not allow Guan Zhengqing to continue to contact the Taihua Country, and said that if you want to continue to contact the Taihua Country, you will not want to get the support of our Canglan Country.

In short, your Qixia Kingdom can only have one ally, you choose it yourself!

Pay attention, the war has been raging recently, on this road... Be careful.

After some struggles, Guan Zhengqing had no choice but to rationally choose the Land of Canglan compared to the Land of Taihua whose future was uncertain. The Land of Canglan provided a total of 200 Nascent Soul masters and five flying boats this time.

Also, the elixir that is enough for 100,000 troops to use for three months - this standard is calculated according to the standard of the Canglan Kingdom, and according to the standard of the Qixia Kingdom, it can be used for half a year.

The leader of the team is Zhao Donghe, a master in the late Yuanying period and General Zhenxi of the Canglan Kingdom.

In general, although it is far from what was expected, it is still quite impressive. Guan Zhengqing could only bear it silently. But he was thinking in his heart, after these people arrived in Qixia Country, after these people got involved in the war and it was difficult to get out, should he go to Taihua Country again?

And Xu Jie, Yan Qing, and Zheng You finally headed to the west together under the arrangement of Guan Zhengqing.

The five airships carry more than two hundred people, which is a bit crowded, but the airships are expensive, flashy, and have little use. They are more of a status symbol, so the number is very small.

In order to get together five flying boats, he finally had to borrow the car of the prince of the Land of Canglan. However, the marks on the flying boat about the prince, etc., can be removed if they can be removed, and those that cannot be removed must be covered up.

The flying boat is very luxurious, and it can be called a high-tech in the world of practice. But above the white clouds, it still looks so small.

Guan Zhengqing looked at Qiufeng Ridge, which was covered with white clouds below, and at the faintly revealed ocean on the left, feeling the vastness and grandeur of the world. Thinking of this war, he felt the insignificance of the individual more and more.

Maybe the Nascent Soul Stage is already very powerful, but in the whole world, it's nothing.

Turning his head again to look at the white clouds in the distance, and the looming and magnificent ocean under the white clouds, Guan Zhengqing suddenly sighed.

But ahead, Zhao Donghe, General Zhenxi of the Land of Canglan, was vigilant in all directions. In order to reach the country of Qixia and avoid the country of Jinyang, they walked from the southern seaside this time. After crossing the Qiufeng Ridge, they entered the border of the country of Danyang.

Hope, all the best!

…………

At this time, Zhang Hao had already led everyone to Luanci Mountain. The surrounding area of ​​Luanci Mountain is vast and uninhabited, and it is easy to draw a safe area for artillery testing and military exercises.

Under Zhang Hao's instigation, everyone at the shareholders' meeting actually came. Not only that, the more than 20,000 troops that had just been summoned were also pulled over together.

In Dugu Junjie's words, we will hold a military exercise right here at Luanci Mountain. By the way, everyone will see the new weapons of the Zhang family together. Don't be unfamiliar with them on the battlefield.

As a result, more than 20,000 people rushed to the direction of Luanci Mountain.

It wasn't until more than 20,000 people had left completely that Liu Jingming on the top of the city heaved a sigh of relief. Although he believed that this newly emerged Dayang Group would not rebel, he was inevitably still a little worried.

But it is said that Zhang Hao arrived at Luanci Mountain with more than 20,000 people in a mighty manner. During the advance, some smart generals have already begun to train 1,000 soldiers under him.

Before reaching Luanci Mountain, there were already a few teams and they could walk out of a neat queue. These generals held their heads high and their chests high. They have already got a good start in this competition; before the competition starts, they will win a game first.

Among them, the team led by Dugu Junjie is the most special. Everyone shouted slogans, such as simple one two one, one two three four and so on. In this slogan, soldiers can already try to quickly form a simple, defensive battle formation.

A vague barrier appeared above the soldiers. This barrier was very weak, but at least it could block the attacks of ordinary bows and arrows.

Dugu Junjie's almost unique excellence has attracted a lot of attention and imitation. For a time, the slogan of one, two, one was heard all over the place.

Because of the training of soldiers along the way, the team took more than two hours to reach the target location.

On a small mound in front of him, Zhang family's masters, including Feng Zhiling, were already guarding it personally. Five dark cannons were neatly placed.

After the test firing five days ago, the new gun was adjusted again. Huang Mingshan and others worked tirelessly to build five new cannons.

The biggest change of the new gun is the addition of springs and sliders behind the barrel. The springs are still a bit rough, but the effect is already very good. There is already a rudimentary cannon.

In addition, the base of the gun mount is enlarged to increase the stability of the artillery base; columns are also added, which can be inserted into the ground to stabilize the artillery.

There is also a sleeve added to the root of the barrel, which prevents the chamber from exploding.

The rest has not changed much; the trigger device still adopts the structure of the crossbow arm, and the spring technology is not mature enough.

The five cannons looked a little weird. It doesn't have the ferociousness of a crossbow bed, nor the arrogance of a magic weapon of war, nor even the aura of a powerful formation, but it has an indescribable murderous aura.

Behind each cannon were three soldiers in civilian clothes, with a box at their feet.

Zhou Jue was also a little puzzled: "Isn't it explosives?"

"It's explosives!" Zhang Hao smiled happily, "But we have changed the application method of explosives. Today, not only is the display of Zhang's new technology, but also let everyone get familiar with this brand new weapon.

Are you all ready? "

What are you preparing for? Everyone was at a loss.

Dugu Junjie commanded his soldiers with a smile and led everyone to the safe area behind the artillery. Then Dugu Junjie walked to the side of the cannon, ready to direct the shelling.

Feng Zhiling left with some reluctance. Five days ago, I only tested a total of twelve shells, which was not enough.

Today, a total of 50 shells have been prepared.

Dugu Junjie picked up the order and held it high: "Get ready, the target is the mountain 10 kilometers away."

Everyone looked, and the hilltop in the distance was already filled with flags. Cultivators have sharp eyesight, and it is not difficult to distinguish objects the size of a human body from ten kilometers away. Not only were flags planted there, but many stakes and rocks were also set up. What's more, there are some thick iron pillars, iron plates, etc.

The soldiers skillfully adjusted the elevation angle of the artillery. Over the past few days, these fifteen carefully selected soldiers have practiced by firing live ammunition. These soldiers are also the core guards of the Zhang family who witnessed the power of the artillery five days ago.

They were calm and skilled, and soon the gunner raised his fist to signal that the adjustment was complete.

"Reload!" Dugu Junjie ordered again.

In fact, it should be loaded first and then adjusted. But today is to show this brand new weapon, and it is inevitable that it will be "acting", not just "drilling".

The gunner quickly unscrewed the barrel, and the other two soldiers, one opened the box, took out the fuze, and the other took out the shells. The two cooperated and quickly installed the fuze, and then skillfully stuffed it into the barrel. The gunner immediately tightened the barrel, inserted the bolt, and after finishing everything, raised his fist again to show that everything was ready.

When the five people were completely ready, Dugu Junjie suddenly waved the flag: "Let go!"

next moment……

'boom! '

The earth shakes and the mountains shake.

The five gunshots were almost superimposed, and five flames shot out from the muzzle almost two meters away. The barrel of the cannon retreated, and the spring was compressed; the frame trembled, and the column inserted into the ground was almost pulled out halfway.

And more than 20,000 people were stunned by the sudden violent noise. Especially those who were close, many of them had weak calves from fright. Even Zhou Jue jumped up in fright.

Dugu Junjie didn't give another order. He held the flag with his right hand and put it down, and pointed to the distant mountain with his left hand: "Everyone pay attention! After about ten breaths, you can see the attack situation."

More than 20 seconds later, an explosion suddenly occurred on a distant mountain, countless broken rocks flew hundreds of meters away, and gunpowder smoke billowed up. The rocks on the surface of the mountain fell off one after another, and the entire hillside was collapsing.

Originally, Luanci Mountain was a bare hill. The surface of the mountain has been weathered for many years, and it is very loose. But this also makes the power of the explosion even more domineering.

Everyone was stunned again.

Although they saw the artillery for the first time, the first attack of the artillery left an unforgettable impression on them.

With an attack distance of ten kilometers, half of the hillside collapsed.

Dugu Junjie waved the flag again, and the soldiers skillfully took out the shell casings from the gun barrels and threw them on the ground.

Everyone looked at the empty shell casings, and then at the complete shells next to them, vaguely understanding. It seems like the first half of this thing is punched out.

After the soldiers ejected the casings, the barrels began to droop.

Dugu Junjie smiled: "Come on, let's go and have a look!"

Said, took the lead to fly forward. Everyone hesitated for a moment, then flocked to follow.

When they came to the location of the explosion, everyone was even more amazed. A full half of the hillside has slipped and the back side of the hillside has also been severely affected. At the location of the explosion, some wooden piles, boulders, and iron pillars placed before were horrible.

Zhou Jue found an iron pillar with a thickness of half a meter. The iron pillar was bent at 90 degrees, and a one-inch-sized fragment (shrapnel) was stuck in the center. The fragment was inserted almost twenty centimeters in. The position even protrudes a lot.

I also saw an iron plate, which was one meter in size and ten centimeters thick, but it had already become a sieve, and many broken shrapnel and even gravel were inlaid on it. The steel plates twisted, as if telling a painful and cruel story.

At this time, someone used spells to completely clean up the loose rocks, revealing five huge craters.

This time, because the shell hit the hillside at a considerable speed, and the shell was optimized, the depth of the secondary crater exceeded four meters and the diameter exceeded 15 meters.

Seeing such a crater, Zhou Jue gasped, "Within a radius of 15 meters, the Jindan stage may not be able to survive. Even the Yuanying stage, if you are not prepared, you will be seriously injured.

As for ordinary troops, within a radius of 100 meters, they will suffer devastating blows.

What a terrifying weapon!

And it has a range of ten kilometers.

Jin Danqi can reach ten kilometers when attacking with a magic weapon bow and arrow, but that's not much power anymore! A flying sword in the Nascent Soul stage can also reach ten kilometers or even farther, but it also does not have such lethality. "

Someone nearby immediately agreed, and everyone looked at the five craters around them in amazement. This "weapon" that suddenly appeared made everyone feel a kind of power, a kind of power of the times!

Dugu Junjie smiled lightly beside him, this result was completely expected. After a while, Dugu Junjie said: "Everyone, it's almost time, let's go back. There will be another wave of artillery attacks."

"Cannon? Is this a cannon?" Zhou Jue asked immediately.

"That's right. This weapon is called a cannon, and the things it fires are called shells. The shells are filled with explosives. Everyone, everyone, we are going back. According to the plan, we will demonstrate the various attack modes of the artillery after we go back."

Everyone left the mountain in amazement, but Dugu Junjie ordered his soldiers to tidy up the mountain. Look for stones, wooden stakes, iron pillars, etc. that can be used as targets again. And this time, targets were set not only in front of the mountain, but also behind the mountain.

"Arranging behind the mountain?" Zhou Jue was puzzled.

"I'll find out later!" Dugu Junjie was quite confident.

The crowd returned and regrouped behind the artillery, this time consciously.

Dugu Junjie picked up the command flag again, and shouted: "Attention, this time the shells are loaded, aimed and fired in the correct way.

Next shooting plan: straddle! Attack out of sight! "

(The important reminder in this chapter: The foundation of cultivation and skills are very important. At the same level, the combat effectiveness may be very different. It is also the late Yuanying period, and the masters of the Holy Land are completely different from the ordinary masters.)
