Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty: Suppress the mythical martial arts at the beginning!

Chapter 103: Shock the feudal kings in the world! ! !

When the third battalion of the capital appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone's eyes lit up instantly. Everyone, including Qi Jiguang, looked at the newly transformed Third Camp of the Capital with admiration.

The rows of shining armors and the shining cold weapons looked as terrifying as a steel forest when they walked out in groups!
With sufficient military pay, the meals of the third battalion of the capital were all replaced by meat.

With the high-priced flesh and blood offerings, every soldier in the third battalion of the capital became as powerful as a dragon and a tiger!
Whether it is the powerful physique or the unified pace, people are extremely looking forward to the combat effectiveness of this army.

Especially when the soldiers of the third battalion of the capital were practicing their weapons together.

The loud shouts and the unified sharpness.It only made everyone who saw this scene feel the murderous intent that came directly in front of them!
The momentum was overwhelming, almost splitting the clouds and sky!
Zhu Yijun looked at the performance of the Third Battalion of the Capital with a smile, and praised Yang Bo, Minister of War:
"These 300 million taels are not in vain for you."

"I am quite satisfied with the current situation of the Third Battalion of the Capital."

When Yang Bo heard this, he quickly said humbly:

"Eating the emperor's salary and taking care of the emperor's worries are what a humble minister should do."

Zhu Yijun nodded slightly and said to Sheng Duanming, Minister of the Ministry of Industry:

"Where's the new artillery I ordered you to build?"

"Pull it out this time for everyone to observe!"

After hearing this, Sheng Duanming hurried down to make arrangements.

When the princes heard the word "new artillery", their brows knitted together slightly.

Naturally, they knew about artillery. When Taizu was fighting for the world, he often used thunderbolts and other artillery.

Although artillery is powerful, it still has various shortcomings.

Not only is the reloading speed slow, but it is also extremely easy to explode and harm your own soldiers.

And the attack distance is far inferior to that of bows and arrows.

Therefore, if we take it more seriously, artillery is usually not as useful as city crossbows.Therefore, in the previous Ming Dynasty army, there were very few organized artillery.

But just now the emperor was talking about new artillery!

It must be an improved product based on the original artillery!
For a time, all the feudal lords were a little curious about the artillery that was about to be demonstrated.

I wonder what kind of powerful new artillery the imperial court has developed.

When Sheng Duanming, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, commanded the soldiers, pushing a cart with crosses covered with black cloth, he appeared in the school grounds.

All the feudal lords looked puzzled, thinking that these carts contained soldiers' armor or weapons.

Unexpectedly, when the soldiers lifted up the black cloth on the cart.

What emerged were thick barrels!
The barrel is thicker than their waists!

In an instant, all the feudal kings widened their eyes and stared at the ten cannons in disbelief!
That shocked look almost made his eyes pop out of his sockets!

They never expected that the new artillery the emperor mentioned would look like this!
With such a huge body, just looking at it is enough to be breathtaking.

You know, those old-fashioned artillery pieces are only about the thickness of an ordinary person's thigh.

The gunpowder bomb fired is only about the size of a fist.The power of the explosion is extremely limited.

But the new type of artillery cast by the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court in front of him was three times thicker than the old one!
How powerful should the blast be?
At this moment, the vassal kings were shocked in their hearts, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel extremely curious.

Qi Jiguang, who saw the new artillery for the first time, also looked at those big killers with sharp eyes.

His brows were furrowed tightly. As a veteran on the battlefield, Qi Jiguang had experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood countless times in his life.

His understanding of fighting on the battlefield is far beyond what others can match.

When the new artillery forged by the Ministry of Industry was launched, Qi Jiguang could guess the amount of gunpowder the artillery could fire from its huge size.He was also suddenly startled and thought to himself:

'If this artillery can be fired normally, I'm afraid it will directly change the battlefield situation in the future.'

Zhu Yijun glanced at the entire audience, taking in everyone's confusion.

Sheng Duanming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, lined up all the artillery, and immediately came to the emperor and reported:

"Your Majesty, the new artillery has been prepared!"

"You can test your power at any time!"

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he nodded slightly and said:

"In that case, let's get started."

"However, the target for testing the power of the artillery needs to be replaced."

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone was surprised.

The school grounds already have an archery target area prepared for shooters, all of which are dummies woven together from straw and wood.Everyone thought that the emperor would target those dummies to test the power of the new artillery.

Unexpectedly, the emperor wanted to change his target.

Just when everyone was guessing what the emperor would change as the target of attack.

Zhu Yijun pointed to a five-foot-tall hill outside the school grounds and said:

"The hill made of rocks is fifty feet away from the artillery, which is exactly within the range of the artillery."

"Just use that hill as a target to test the power of the new artillery."

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone was shocked again!
What surprised me was not the power of the artillery, but the attack range of the artillery!
You must know that the hillock your Majesty pointed to is a full fifty feet away from them. Doesn't this mean that the range of the new artillery has exceeded this distance?

The old artillery in the past had a range of only about fifteen feet.Because the range is far inferior to that of bows and arrows, they are generally used to defend cities.

Now the attack range of the new artillery can actually exceed fifty feet? !
This is much farther than the city crossbow that requires the coordinated control of multiple people!

For a time, everyone was even more looking forward to the power of the new artillery.

After hearing the emperor's order, Sheng Duanming quickly ordered the soldiers to adjust the angle of the artillery.

He aimed all ten artillery pieces at the hill outside the school grounds, and then slowly stuffed the cannonballs the size of human heads into the thick barrels.

After Sheng Duanming's command flag was waved, the fuses of the ten artillery pieces were instantly ignited by fire.

Following the sparking fuse, it burned completely to the end.

The next moment!
"Boom~~~~~~~"

It was like thousands of thunders exploding across the entire campus. The huge and terrifying sound instantly made everyone's minds go blank.

Even on the ground, there was a feeling of shaking.

Just like an earth dragon turning over here, the sky tilts to the southeast and the earth sinks to the northwest.

At this moment, all the feudal kings were so shaken that they almost fell to the ground.

The dizziness caused by the loud sound slowly subsided after a long moment.

Everyone hurriedly looked towards the hillock that was bombarded by ten artillery pieces, wanting to see how powerful the artillery pieces were.

But at first glance, everyone suddenly stood there blankly!
The vassal kings even had hollow looks in their eyes, and when they reacted, they were filled with fear.

Fifty feet away from the cannon, where are the hills at this moment?
Some are just huge rubble ruins, with large and small holes cut into the ground.There were piles of gravel embellishment, making the place look even more ferocious.

Ten artillery fires were so powerful that they flattened a five-foot-tall hill!
