Chapter 445 This is the deterrent of gunpowder weapons

The heavy stone thrower is as high as 1000 feet and 50 meters in base alone, and the throwing rod is as long as 300 meters long. During the test, a huge rock weighing 200 kilograms was thrown more than half a mile away. The extremely long projection distance and super strong delivery ability made everyone dumbfounded.
This young master was also secretly talking. Even the forty-two-pound cannon during the voyage period could not project such a heavy object.
As for the range of the medium-sized crossbow, the range is not inferior to that of the heavy stone thrower, and the accuracy is much higher than that of the heavy stone thrower, and it can hit the same target as the size of a living person two hundred steps in a row. However, its projection weight can only reach about one-fifth of the heavy stone thrower. However, for this era, it is completely sufficient.
I raised my head and set up a canopy to admire the princes and nobles above the city. Well, although the distance was more than two hundred steps away and beyond the attack range of the siege equipment above the city, I still vaguely saw General Qu Tu and others guarding a young man, standing in the middle of the city tower, pointing at us.
"Yuanfang, go up." This young master waved his hand, Li Yuanfang, wearing heavy armor, responded and brought my mount. Just as I was about to jump onto the horse, a hand next to him reached out to stop it.
"My brother is still too dangerous." Wei Yunqi came over and said with sincerity. "It's better to shout from a safe distance."
"It's okay, I really want to see if they have the courage. Don't worry, there is no arrow that can hit me in this world." This young master sniffed, glanced at the Yaoguang girl standing not far away, and said with a heroic expression.
"Brother Wuji, I'll go with you too." After hearing this, the Yaoguang girl with stars in her eyes came up and was rejected by this young master. "Stay behind and listen to your husband's words obediently, otherwise I really want to use the family law."
Two red clouds suddenly rose from the pretty face of the Yaoguang girl, looking ashamed and annoyed, and unscathing, which made me feel very inspired. Hahahaha...
"Sister, you haven't gotten married yet, why do he claim to be... Hiss, it hurts..." Li Xuanba, who was ignorant of life and death, once again became the punching bag for Yaoguang's girl.
I slowly rode my horse forward with confidence, and there were dozens of heavy-armed knights around me, well, what I asked. At first, Li Yuanfang thought that I should be surrounded by this young master in the center like on the battlefield and squeezed it together. But the problem is that now it is not a field battle, but a person who wants to fool people on the city wall. If they are all crowded, if a big stone is really thrown down, I am known as the guard in the center, and I will probably be unable to move, and become the first time traveler elite in the history of time travel to be smashed by a stone thrower on the battlefield.
As I moved forward slowly, I became more and more guilty as I walked away. Fortunately, I was wearing heavy armor and even putting down my face armor. No one could see my expression.
Finally, he stopped twenty steps from the moat. Although this distance was already within the attack range of the stone thrower above the city, such a close distance made the stone thrower nowhere to exert force. The only thing that was frightening was that kind of crossbow. No matter how far or near that thing was, and its powerful kinetic energy and range were definitely not a joke.
However, if you don’t take any risks, life will be too boring. The most important thing is that I believe in Qu Tutong’s character and more importantly, the moral qualities of ancient people. Generally speaking, not killing makes this trick absolutely applicable in ancient times.
What's more, seeing the faces full of tension and doubts, and even panic and uneasy above the city wall, I knew that these guys were actually very scared.
After standing still, I lifted up my armor, took the big copper trumpet from Li Yuanfang, and shouted loudly to the city wall: "Listen to the people above, I represent the soldiers of the Chinese Revival Army, and the thousands of people who have been explained by my Chinese Revival Army, to speak to you..."
"I am a minister of the Great Sui Dynasty, but now I have done such a rebellious act. Are you not afraid of being abandoned by the people of the world?" An old man with gray hair and beard pointed like a sword on the top of the city and shouted loudly.
This young master sneered: "Terror to do things? I only know that Yang Guang, despite the opposition of the world, made a rebellion against Goguryeo. Despite the chaos in the world, wars were everywhere, and he had to build a building palace for the sake of enjoyment. The soldiers fought bravely to solve the difficulties of Yanmen and made the achievements of Taotian, but could not be rewarded as promised..."
I would argue with this young master. No matter whether you are a kid in your sixties or seven years old or an old guy in your sixties or seventies, you will not be my excellent time traveler who is proficient in history, good at debate, and good at discerning thinking.
"...How many loyal and patriots are crying for the country, but they are resentful and killed because of the words of treacherous and slanderous ministers. How many patriotic people are killed and demoted because of telling the truth?"
"Look at this world? Open your eyes wide and take a closer look at why millions of people were displaced and their families were destroyed. It is because of Yang Guang, because of the inaction of the court, the prosperous era of Huanghuang collapsed and collapsed. The world is the world of the world, not the world of one family. If the emperor can be energetic and ambitious, and serve the people and the country, the people of the world should support it. If he is stupid and unruly, arrogant and extravagant, then the people of the world should abandon it..."
"Don't talk nonsense. The emperor was ordered by heaven. The ancients said..." A large number of ministers began to whisper on the top of the city, wanting to talk to me to see the best.
But are we afraid? Sharp and well-founded words, they copied the bronze trumpet and refuted them one by one. They suppressed the guys who jumped up one by one, speechless, and there were sounds of whispering on the top of the city, as if countless green-headed flies were hovering on the city tower of Chang'an City.
"... Today, I am standing here to tell you. Chang'an City, for me, to the Chinese Revival Army, is nothing but a native chicken and a tile dog, and the reason why we have never attacked the city is because we do not want to hurt any innocent people, nor do we want to face our compatriots with our compatriots."
"I know, there must be someone who mocks me for being arrogant. So, in order to prove that the Chinese Fuxing Army has this ability, I would like to give you a look today. I want you to know what kind of combat power and destructive power the Chinese Fuxing Army has. We have not attacked Xidu, but we are unwilling to commit more murder and hurt innocent people." When I said this, I saw that the eyes of those people above were mostly on the heavy stone throwing machine and medium-sized crossbows in the distance, and I couldn't help but smile.
"Today, let you see the strength of my Chinese Revival Army, and then give you another five days. If you don't surrender, then don't blame me for the Chinese Revival Army, which will turn the Western Capital Chang'an into a ruin. In that case, you will also become sinners who harm the millions of innocent people in Chang'an City because of this evil result." After throwing this threat fiercely, I turned around and rode my horse and ran wildly into the distance.
On the way to escape, I looked back and saw that there was still a mess on it. Some people were even shouting that people were in the city and that the city was destroyed and people died. However, more people were silent, including Qu Tutong, staring at the overly tall stone throwing machines, as deep as water. At this moment, I really couldn't see his expression changing, but I believe he would be moved soon.
Back to my original position, I issued an order and started the exercise. As the flags in the hands of the flag bearers, as the soldiers stirred the pulley set, the throwing rods that seemed to be able to pierce the sky gradually fell down.
Afterwards, the explosives weighing 200 kilograms were packed into the spoon, and the crossbows there were also prepared. They were not explosives, but round stones on it. Their attack targets were also different. Just on the surface, on the left, there were scarecrows of about a hundred steps in length and width, densely packed with clothes on them, and of course there were sticks next to them, representing weapons.
On the right, there is a red target of ten human sizes, reaching a distance of two hundred steps from here.
"Boxgun Group, aim at the red target point in front and shoot." As the call came out, the red flag was swung down. Only a few muffled sounds were heard, and then the circular stone bomb flew out quickly at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to catch.
Soon, I heard a gangbang. A few loud noises, five red targets were instantly smashed by rocks, and even the debris flew to a height of more than ten meters before falling down. The originally noisy noise above the city wall instantly dissipated without a trace.
However, before they could fully react, the heavy stone throwing maneuvered. As the throwing rod suddenly rose, the huge and heavy bomb bag inside the throwing spoon flew into the sky, slowly drew a complete arc, and slowly landed within the scarecrow's range.
Immediately afterwards, almost everyone's eyes were black, and a ball of orange-red flame rose into the air. The rolling flames and smoke seemed to transform into magma demons crawling out of hell, roaring, waving their hideous minions, and jumping towards the sky.
The loud noise that made the earth tremble swept across the vast Guanzhong Plain, making the towering and seemingly indestructible Chang'an City Tower tremble.
The officials and soldiers of the court who had never seen the power of such a terrible weapon, as well as the representatives of the Detachment of Women under the Sister Yaoguang, all looked at the large area of ​​test guns covered with smoke and flames without anyone's face.
