"puff!"
Zhao Kuan, who was drinking water, immediately spit out all the tea in his mouth.
"Twenty thousand taels of silver is enough to form a black armored cavalry with four hundred people." Zhao Kuan blurted out.
Zhao Yuanliang also frowned, "His Royal Highness, the price of this artillery is too high, I'm afraid we can't afford it."
When talking to Xiao Wenxuan about the price of the artillery, Xiao Ming specifically told Xiao Wenxuan that the eight thousand taels were for the court, and the external price would not be the same as the court.
And also said euphemistically that Xiao Wenxuan should not say the price. Xiao Wenxuan agreed at the time.
Therefore, apart from Xiao Wenxuan, no one knows the price of the artillery casting of Xiao Ming, but he also knows that Zhao Wang is not stupid, and he must be concerned about the price of artillery.
"Then how much do you think this artillery is worth?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Six thousand taels are enough. Of course, we are responsible for the transportation." Zhao Yuanliang said.
Hearing this, Xiao Ming stood up, "Let's do it, Yuan Liang, you may not have seen what this artillery is like. You just heard of the prestige of this artillery. It's better for this king to take you to see it."
"I have this intention, and I hope His Highness will lead the way." Zhao Yuanliang looked forward to it.
Xiao Ming nodded, and took Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan to Qingzhou Daying.
Today, there is an empty field on the side of the Qingzhou Camp. There are three artillery pieces dedicated to training in this field. Xiao Ming brought Zhao Yuanliang to the artillery training ground.
At this time, Luo Xin was instructing artillery training in the training ground. The last battle in Cangzhou was very hasty. The standard of the artillery on the battlefield was too poor. Basically, the artillery shells were flying randomly on the battlefield.
If it hadn't been the first time that the use of artillery caused a psychological shock to the barbarians, the effect of this artillery was really not satisfactory.
So after the Battle of Cangzhou, Xiao Ming asked Luo Xin to train soldiers how to aim, how to adjust the angle, how to play vibrating eggs, to maximize the power of the artillery.
"Your Highness!"
Seeing Xiao Ming coming, Luo Xin and the soldiers on the training ground immediately saluted him, and the armor on his body made a sound of metal rubbing.
Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan glanced at the armor on the soldiers, and a strange color flashed in their eyes.
According to their understanding, this time the Cangzhou battle, although the artillery contributed a lot, but in their opinion, the Qingzhou Army's whole body armor was also credited.
At the gate of the city, they were inconvenient to observe the armor of the soldiers guarding the city, and now they looked carefully at this special armor.
"Isn't this your Royal Highness?" Luo Xin looked at Zhao Yuanliang after saluting.
"Luo Xin." Zhao Yuanliang has seen Luo Xin more times than Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming said, "Since we all know each other, this matter is simple, Luo Xin, this time the son came here for artillery matters. Now you let the soldiers shoot a cannonball for the son to see."
"Yes, Your Highness." Luo Xin answered.
Normally, Xiao Ming is the highest general in the army. He must obey orders as a subordinate, because Xiao Ming is ruthless on the issue of military discipline.
Even Lu Fei has been dealt with by military law many times, and now he is honest.
Zhao Yuanliang looked at the artillery in front of him at this time, with a slight expectation in his heart, and Zhao Kuan's eyes were bright.
At the station in Cangzhou, the name of this artillery spread throughout the country of Da Yu. On the contrary, Xiao Ming's credit was not as loud as this artillery.
On the one hand, this was Cui Hao and the others deliberately suppressing Xiao Ming. On the other hand, what they didn't know was that this was done deliberately by Xiao Ming for the purpose of selling arms.
Now, under the guidance of Xiao Ming, each artillery of the artillery battalion is equipped with four people as standard. One is responsible for cleaning the barrel, one is responsible for loading ammunition, one is for aiming, and one is for ignition. In this way, the artillery can achieve continuous firing at the fastest.
At this time, the four soldiers in front of the artillery completed the loading and aiming of the artillery one after another, and the rest only needed to be fired.
"His Royal Highness, this time is the target of shooting 200 steps." Luo Xin said.
Xiao Ming nodded. It was his own person with a clear heart. If he wanted to show it to outsiders, he would naturally show the most shocking effect.
At this time, there was a stone wall at 200 meters, which was specially used as a target.
"Yuanliang, you should cover your ears. Your voice will be very loud later," Xiao Ming suggested.
Zhao Yuanliang said: "His Royal Highness does not have to. Since we are going to buy artillery, we naturally have to experience it firsthand."
When the four artillerymen heard the words, they suddenly looked like idiots, because they knew exactly how loud the artillery was, and the long-term training even made them suffer from hearing loss.
Xiao Ming didn't stop him. He wanted to maintain his harmony on the surface, but he didn't bother to care about them. After all, this feudal king was not good.
"Ignite." Luo Xin shouted at this moment.
At the same time, he put a cotton plug into his ear, and Xiao Ming also stood far away.
The four soldiers also put cotton plugs into their ears at the same time, and the soldier in charge of the ignition lighted the artillery. With a "boom", the fire was shining. With a loud noise, Xiao Ming only felt the ground shake.
"My mother..."
At the moment the artillery sounded, Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan screamed in shock, staggered back, and almost fell.
"Yuanliang is okay," Xiao Ming asked.
Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan were pale at this time. There was a fire tube on their city wall. When he saw the artillery, he thought that the sound of the fire tube was similar to that of the fire tube. Now they regretted it. This was a shame in front of Xiao Ming. .
"It's okay, Your Highness." Zhao Yuanliang said with a strong support, while Zhao Kuan's legs were shaking.
When the four artillerymen saw this, they all suffocated and laughed. Luo Xin couldn't help but couldn't help but couldn't help it. They both asked for it.
Zhao Yuanliang naturally noticed the expressions of Luo Xin and the four soldiers. He was secretly angry in his heart, but his surface was still kind, and said: "Your Majesty, the sound of this artillery is really loud, but I don't know how powerful it is?"
"Yuanliang, you know it by looking over there." Xiao Ming said, pointing to the stone wall 200 meters away.
Looking in the direction of Xiao Ming's fingers, Zhao Yuanliang and Zhao Kuan's eyes flashed with shock, and a section of the stone wall that was standing on the ground just now collapsed unexpectedly.
"His Royal Highness, this is not enough to explain the power of the artillery~EbookFREE.me~ Maybe the stone wall is not strong enough." Zhao Yuanliang said.
Now that he brought Zhao Yuanliang over, Xiao Ming naturally had various preparations. He said, "Since Yuanliang doesn't believe it, let's change our goal."
Then Xiao Ming led Zhao Yuanliang to the training ground. When he walked four hundred paces, a row of clay cavalry-like targets appeared in front of him.
"This is a cavalry statue built in the shape of a barbarian cavalry. There are one every ten meters. There are thirty in this row. These clay sculptures are strong enough." Xiao Ming introduced, "At this time, the artillery is 400 steps away. Look at the power of the artillery." Xiao Ming said.
After seeing it, Xiao Ming returned with the two of them, when the soldiers fired on the cavalry clay sculpture again.
However, because of the long distance and the small target, the artillery failed three times in a row. Until the fourth time, the artillery hit the cavalry clay sculpture.
At this time, Xiao Ming brought Zhao Yuanliang and the other two closer, and saw the mess in the same place, when all 30 clay sculptures were crushed, Zhao Yuanliang was stunned.
