The most explosive and intuitive concepts of ancient people were fireworks during festivals and thunder during thunderstorms.
Even if there is a weapon like the red cannon based on fireworks, it is essentially just using gunpowder to boost it, and its lethality is still limited to the damage caused by the iron ball itself. Although gunpowder-filled weapons evolved later,
It uses the power of gunpowder explosion to damage surrounding enemies, but compared with the highly concentrated gunpowder and steel ball projectiles of grenades, this method is still too limited.
This was the first time that gunpowder actually acted as an explosion on the battlefield.
Huang Jitian was confused, as were the followers he brought with him, and even the guards guarding in the distance were also confused.
Everyone thought this was a miracle sent by God in anger.
"Hahaha."
Li Chen was quite satisfied with the effect of the explosion. He walked to Huang Jitian and said, "What if the weapon just now was used on the battlefield?"
Huang Jitian slowly calmed down his extremely shocked mood and said, "Invincible."
After swallowing, Huang Jitian said in an almost awe-inspiring tone: "I think the explosion range of this object is about fifteen to twenty steps. Although it can cause some damage if it goes out, it will be much lighter.
"
"Within this range, the dense steel balls will destroy all obstacles along the way, including flesh and blood."
Li Chen chuckled lightly. Being able to see these things just by observing them for the first time was already regarded as Huang Ji's natural talent.
If anyone else were to look at it, they would probably be able to exclaim, “Holy shit.”
"You're right about the killing range of this object. It's roughly this range. Within this range, people can kill people. Outside this range, the power will be severely attenuated."
Li Chen talked eloquently: "We have done tests. Once this object explodes, more than a hundred steel balls contained in it will spread out in a circular shape. If it is within ten steps, it can penetrate two people wearing armor.
If the soldier is a horse, he can defeat at least one adult horse."
These words naturally sounded miraculous to others, but as the only insider, Song Yingxing's eyes bulged out.
When were they tested?
And how did such power come about?
Song Yingxing subconsciously looked at His Highness the Crown Prince, but saw that His Highness had a calm expression on his face and opened his mouth.
Not paying attention to Song Yingxing's reaction, Li Chen said to Huang Jitian: "It also has another characteristic. This characteristic makes it a nightmare for cavalry. Can Brother Thirteen guess it?"
When Li Chen finished speaking, Huang Jitian frowned deeply.
An attendant next to him blurted out: "There was an explosion."
Li Chen couldn't help but take another look at him, and saw that the latter's eyes were shining brightly, and there was an evil aura around him that had been in the military for a long time. This kind of aura was very familiar to Li Chen. He had felt it in both Su Zhenting and Wu Qingcang.
.
The man in front of me is definitely a fierce general of the Jin Kingdom.
Nodding, Li Chen said: "Yes, what kind of cavalry can you call a cavalry without horses? As long as it is a horse, it is a beast. No matter how well it is domesticated, it cannot escape the nature of beasts to fear loud noises. This explosion is enough
Dozens of nearby horses are frightened at the same time, and the emotions of the horses are contagious. Once a large-scale chain explosion unfolds, the cavalry, no matter how well-trained, cannot stop the panic of the horses."
"Once the horses get confused and start running away, what power can those cavalry have?"
