Emperor Wei and the humerus really did not expect that the artillery could explode with such huge power.
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Wei laughed loudly, "Okay! That's great! I really didn't expect that this artillery really has such a huge lethality. It can still cause explosive range damage at a distance of more than a thousand steps. What kind of city will there be in the future?"
Can it withstand artillery attacks?"
Emperor Wei was so happy.
This money is simply not worth it. With artillery, Wei's military strength will at least be improved by several levels.
Emperor Wei could not imagine what kind of army could withstand the bombardment of artillery.
"My dear."
Xiao Nan also exclaimed in amazement, "No wonder my brother-in-law insists on vigorously developing firearms. It turns out that the power of firearms is so powerful. It is simply beyond the reach of human power."
Even Shen Binglan on the side stared with a pair of beautiful eyes full of wonder.
She had seen with her own eyes the lethality of the fire bombs developed by Qin Yu.
But compared with today's artillery, fire bombs cannot be compared in terms of range or lethality.
This is simply a weapon that defies heaven.
Emperor Wei looked at Qin Yu with shock on his face, "Good son-in-law, I really have you. The power of this artillery is indeed huge, even more powerful than the fire bombs."
Qin Yu looked indifferent, "This artillery is a front-loading smoothbore artillery. It can be loaded with two types of ammunition. One is solid ammunition. It has a maximum range of two thousand steps. It has a long range and strong impact. It can be used to attack cities and destroy city walls.
and the city gate.”
"The gunpowder bullets we just shot have a maximum range of 1,500 steps. Although the range is not as far as solid bullets, the damage range is huge. It is within two feet and has no physiological effects. It is suitable for blocking large-scale enemy charges."
"However, artillery also has shortcomings, that is, it is too heavy and has poor mobility. However, for artillery, I have specially developed a gun carriage, which can improve the mobility of artillery."
As Qin Yu said this, a gun carriage with a cannon was pushed over not far away.
The gun carriage is made of copper and wooden barrels, with a total of four wheels. Above the gun carriage is a turret with chains and gears on it, which can move the height and left and right directions of the turret.
When marching, you can use horses to pull the artillery carriage forward.
Although the artillery is not very advanced, the gun carriage is not very flexible either.
But for this era, it is already very good.
The power of artillery cannot be resisted by any army of any country in this era.
Of course, this is under the premise that the regular army of the Wei Dynasty also has considerable combat power.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the artillery is, it will not be possible to destroy the enemy with artillery alone. This will only give Wei more possibilities.
Looking at the artillery mounted on the gun carriage.
The people of the Wei Emperor finally saw how powerful and majestic it was and how extraordinary it was.
Of course, when they looked at the artillery at this time, they had already brought in the power of the artillery.
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Wei couldn't help but smile on his face, "Good! Very good! Very good! I know you are a great boy. With artillery, Wei Wei will definitely get twice the result with half the effort in attacking Liangzhou this time!"
Just after the new year, Da Wei ushered in such a great event.
Emperor Wei felt that the rise of Wei was unstoppable.
Not only the Emperor of Wei, but also everyone saw the hope of the rise of the Wei Dynasty.
A country's military strength proves whether a country is strong or not, and artillery is the backbone of the Wei Dynasty's military strength.
The most important thing is that the development of firearms in the Wei Dynasty has just begun.
This is only the second firearm developed by Qin Yu. They have no expectations of how far Wei's firearms will go in the future.
But they knew it would never be short.
Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, don't you feel that your money was not worth it this time?"
"hehe......"
Emperor Wei smiled and said: "Looking at what you said, I have always had unlimited trust in you, how could I doubt you at all? Even if I doubt myself, I will not doubt your ability, Ye Xun.
"
After that, he asked again: "What other things have you studied yet and come up with?"
Qin Yu nodded, "There really is one. It has been tested and can be put into use in batches."
Emperor Wei was overjoyed and asked: "What weapon?"
Listen to Qin Yu's words.
Xiao Nan, Qin Wenyao and others also showed great interest.
Produced by the Prince Consort, it must be a high-quality product.
They believed that the weapons developed by Qin Yu would not let them down.
Qin Yu said calmly: "Fierce oil tank."
Fierce oil tank?
Emperor Wei and everyone were stunned, not understanding what it meant.
Qin Yu did not explain. Instead, he looked at Gu Tao and said in a deep voice: "Push out the fierce fire oil tank for your majesty and all your lords to see."
Qin Yu has many plans for developing firearms, but the road must be taken step by step.
"Yes, Prince Consort." Gu Tao hurriedly sent someone to push him.
Not long after.
Under the push of two soldiers, a fierce oil tank with four wheels, a fuel tank, and an iron pipe on top of the tank was pushed out.
The cost of the Menghuo oil tank is not cheap, and the entire body is made of copper.
The key is also technical, especially the sealing of the oil tank must be good, otherwise it will be easy for the entire oil tank to explode due to heavy fire.
Although the heavy fire oil tank is more dangerous, the lethality is still very huge, especially in positional warfare, it is definitely a magic weapon to defend the position.
Looking at the fierce oil tank being pushed out.
The eyes of Emperor Wei and everyone showed great curiosity.
This was the first time they had seen a weapon with such a shape.
Emperor Wei looked at the fierce fire oil tank and asked: "Is this... this one also firing cannonballs?"
Qin Yu shook his head and said calmly: "This is not one that shoots cannonballs, this is one that shoots flames."
Breathing flames?
Everyone in Emperor Wei's eyes widened and looked at each other.
This was the first time they had heard of such an attack method, and they were extremely curious.
"Then...then give us a demonstration." Emperor Wei couldn't wait at this time.
This was the first time they had heard of fire attacks.
at the same time.
The two soldiers had already pushed the heavy fire oil tank not far away.
Put the oil tank in place.
A soldier suddenly pulled up the guard at the end of the flame pipe above the heavy fire oil tank, and then pushed it forward.
call.......
A flame as fierce as a fire dragon spurted out along the fire tube, a full foot away, with a raging arrogance and astonishing momentum.
See this scene.
Everyone in Emperor Wei was shocked.
The fierce fire oil tank can actually spray out a tongue of fire that is ten feet long. This is simply unbelievable!
