Wang Fangyi who just listened said softly: "These are gunpowder weapons, or simply called firearms. Their power is simply indescribable. Don't even look at this small musket."
Wang Fangyi played with an iron knot that was more than a foot long in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Its speed is far faster than the top masters in the world, and its power can break any strong defense, whether it is stainless steel armor or a shield, it is so powerful The power can cause anyone to be directly hit hard. Haha, actually speaking, this small musket is not powerful enough, and General Cheng has not seen the artillery behind it."
"Artillery?" Cheng Wuting twisted his body, looked back, and then said: "Is it the big guy being pulled by the car? This thing looks very heavy, what does it do? Could it also shoot rocks?"
At that time, there was also a powerful siege weapon on the battlefield. This weapon was called a trebuchet, which could throw stones onto the city top through a mechanical device, causing strong lethality and deterrence. This trebuchet was It was called "cannon". When Cheng Wuting heard the term artillery, he thought it was an upgraded version of a trebuchet.
But Wang Fangyi laughed and said: "General Cheng is really wrong. The power of this kind of artillery is simply a hundred times that of a trebuchet, and its lethality is indescribable. Although it is only a small shell, it can If all the corpses of everyone within a square circle are gone, hitting the city wall with it can directly open a hole in the city wall. Just set up this kind of cannon and hit it several times in turn, and you can destroy a small section of the city wall. collapse."
"Ah? There is such a powerful weapon?" Cheng Wuting couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this, and felt an inexplicable fear. Such a weapon is too powerful, so powerful that it cannot be competed by flesh and blood. At the same time, he also felt lucky that Wang Fangyi did not use this kind of artillery. Otherwise, he might have lost a lot of money to his soldiers.
"I wonder if General Wang can tell me how these powerful weapons were invented? Could it be General Wang's proud work?" Although Cheng Wuting knew that the other party might not tell him this question, he still couldn't help but ask such a question. Asked, because if he couldn't figure out this problem, he might not be able to rest in peace.
But Wang Fangyi smiled bitterly and said: "General Cheng thinks too highly of me. How could such a powerful thing be imagined by me? These are all your majesty's whims today. Back then, your majesty was not When he was a prince, he had already seen the power of this explosive phenomenon that only occasionally occurred when Taoist priests were refining elixirs, so he somehow got the gunpowder formula, and then drew some graphics and asked me to study it. In order to achieve the success of these gunpowder weapons, His Majesty sent thousands of craftsmen and spent millions of dollars to finally build such a powerful firearms army."
"It is indeed your Majesty's handiwork. Alas, I should have known it a long time ago. The printing and other technologies he developed back then showed great creativity, and now he has developed such a powerful weapon. Such a genius is really It is admirable in the world, but His Majesty's conduct is a bit bad. Hey, he got millions of dollars in property just when he was the prince. He must have obtained all this by abusing his power."
A trace of disgust flashed in Cheng Wuting's eyes, and he sneered.
But Wang Fangyi also sneered and said: "I really didn't expect General Cheng to be so ignorant. In fact, it's no wonder. His Majesty once said that the ignorant are fearless. Isn't this talking about you? Haha, just because you are ignorant, so
You dare to confront His Majesty, and it is because of your ignorance that you have random suspicions about Your Majesty's integrity. I can tell you, General Cheng, that the huge wealth we spent on researching firearms was funded by the Mingtang Company, the richest businessman in the Tang Dynasty.
, you should know that Ming Tang Company has always been very close to His Majesty, and this closeness is not for any purpose, it is purely out of direct appreciation for His Majesty's patriotism and love for the people."
"It turns out that this happened. Alas, it seems that I don't know your Majesty well enough. But I'm going to die anyway, so I don't have to worry about these things in the future. General Wang, just take me away. As for me
The officers and men under your command, please be kind to General Wang and let them go." Cheng Wuting said respectfully to Wang Fangyi with a wry smile on his face.
Wang Fangyi sneered and said: "How can you say you are lucky enough? Before this operation, His Majesty had already issued an order that as long as your soldiers have no rebellious intentions, they will not be held accountable. This is just to prevent you from betraying the Queen Mother.
They reported the news, so they need to rest for a night in the military camp outside the city. As for General Cheng, please go to the palace to bear witness to His Majesty."
"I, Cheng Wuting, will die if I die, but I will not betray my friends." Cheng Wuting thought that he was asking him to reveal the instigator behind it, Pei Yan, and quickly opened his mouth to silence him.
But Wang Fangyi laughed and said: "Why do you, General Cheng, need to testify about this matter? Your Majesty has already obtained all the evidence, so you can just watch the show."
Afterwards, Wang Fangyi laughed and ordered about 300 people to escort Cheng Wuting's soldiers to the camp outside the city. At the same time, he led the remaining army to escort Cheng Wuting to the palace.
While Cheng Wuting's army was defeated outside Desheng Gate, Zhang Qianxu's army outside Lijing Gate also suffered a tragic fate. However, the combat effectiveness of Zhang Qianxu's army was not as good as that of Cheng Wuting, so
This time it seemed even more tragic.
The man stationed at Lijingmen is General Jinghui of Lin Zhonglang on the right, but in fact the main force stationed there is Li Xian's generals Wang Hui and Yang Sixu, as well as 500 elite soldiers each under their command.
At the beginning of the battle, Zhang Qianxu's soldiers received a blow, and hundreds of soldiers were killed in an instant. When Yang Sixu and Wang Hui came to fight outside the palace gate, when Zhang Qianxu's soldiers heard that the war was
The person they were fighting turned out to be the "Yang Wudi" who fought side by side with the new emperor Li Xian, stormed into the Dongxi Stone Valley, and defeated Sun Wanrong. They all gasped in unison.
Most of these soldiers were from Youyan. They had all heard of Yang Sixu's illustrious and ferocious reputation, so they secretly gave him the nickname "Yang Wudi". But now that they saw that their opponent turned out to be such a fierce person, they suddenly lost their minds.
Without the courage to fight on, an army of tens of thousands was actually being chased and beaten by a thousand people. However, not long after they ran, they saw a large army coming from the opposite side, using a powerful weapon that none of them had ever seen. This made
Their fighting spirit became even lower, and they knelt down one after another and surrendered after almost holding on without a cup of tea.
"Here, what is going on? Then, what are those things?" Looking at the powerful weapons in the hands of the soldiers on the opposite side, Zhang Qianxu couldn't help but exclaimed, and his face turned pale. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
