Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Half an hour later, all the personnel were assembled, and several soldiers pulled the artillery into the nearby wilderness.

"Zian, you messed with this thing right after you came back, what's the use of it?"

Guo Jia looked left and right at the cannon, but he couldn't see what it could be used for.

"This is a pile of iron!" Xun Yu said doubtfully.

The rest of the generals also looked at the artillery curiously.

What they saw was a pile of iron, whether it was artillery or shells, they were all in the shape of iron.

Ma Jun made a total of two types of shells, one is all solid iron balls, and the other is shot shells.

The shell of the solid iron ball is easy to understand. It is directly a piece of iron and has a long range. It is mainly used to penetrate defensive projects such as city walls and gates.

In terms of shotgun, it is made of iron shell, filled with gravel and iron beads, etc., but the range is not too far, but the lethality is huge.

Just imagine how shocking it would be when the shell exploded, the fragments inside spurted out, and the enemy fell in a large piece.

These things were built by Chen Yang based on the shells of the Ming Dynasty, and the methods of making iron were also taught by Chen Yang to those craftsmen.

As for the current power, we have to let Ma Jun try it to know.

"I don't think Zian would be so boring, deliberately tossing a bunch of useless ironware, this thing should be very useful." Man Chong said.

"Mandarin people understand me better."

Chen Yang said: "Show it to Feng Xiao and the others."

Ma Jun and other craftsmen hurriedly started, first adjusting the direction and angle of the artillery, and then aiming at the woods on the side, loading gunpowder and shells, etc. to complete a series of actions.

Ma Jun said, "General, it's done!"

"For such a grand event, a sense of ritual is indispensable. I will do the ignition ceremony first." Chen Yang rubbed his hands excitedly.

This is an important leap from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons. Chen Yang wanted to personally witness the history he created, and soon someone brought a torch to Chen Yang.

"Scatter them all!" Chen Yang didn't know if the cannon could work, and it would be dangerous if it exploded.

Chen Yang ignited the fuze, and he quickly backed away. After a while...

boom!

A loud noise appeared in the cannon, and the huge backlash made the ground tremble, and dust immediately flew under the cannon.

Then a flame gushed out from the muzzle, and the iron ball shell that was put in finally flew out under the powerful explosion thrust.

Just when Chen Yang thought the cannon was successful, the cannonball didn't show face. It flew only ten meters before falling down, making a small crater in the ground.

A burst of smoke and dust rose from the scene, and the calm before was quickly restored, leaving Chen Yang with an embarrassed face.

"General, you seem to have failed!" Mi Heng said first.

"Zhengping, be more confident and remove the appearance."

Chen Yang scratched his head, but he didn't understand why he failed, and his eyes fell on Ma Jun.

Ma Jun said: "This is the first attempt, and I don't know why, it may need to be adjusted."

Having been watched as a failure by so many big shots, Ma Jun was a little nervous, wanting to see what he did wrong, but couldn't see the result.

"No rush, no rush, one won't work, let's try a few more."

Chen Yang didn't have much thought, and ordered the craftsman to put the iron ball in again, and then ignited the fuse to fire the cannon. After another loud noise, the smoke and dust fell, and this time the distance of the cannonball was a little closer than before.

"This is embarrassing." Chen Yang laughed.

Xiahou Dun asked curiously: "Zian, do you want to use gunpowder to hit that iron ball out to achieve the effect of hurting people?"

"That's it. The solid iron ball is used to attack the city. It may be too heavy. Ma Jun, try another shotgun." Chen Yang said again.

Ma Jun hurried to make arrangements.

"Zian, this is the first time we have seen you fail."

Man Chong smiled and said, "Today is our honor!"

The others nodded and laughed, expressing their agreement, in their cognition.

There is nothing Chen Yang can't do, and today is really the first time.

After a while, Ma Jun was ready again.

This time there was another deafening bang, and the whole ground shook for a while.

The shotgun was finally fired, this time it was not as embarrassing as it was just now, it went 150 steps away and hit a tree trunk before stopping.

boom!

After the cannonball hit it, it exploded with a loud noise, and the fragments of the iron beads inside instantly splashed around.

But in an instant, those tree trunks were covered with dense debris.

When Man Chong and the others who were joking with Chen Yang just now saw this, they rubbed their eyes vigorously to make sure that they read correctly, so they widened their eyes.

"Is this...really?"

Xun Yu walked up quickly, and he saw that the fragments from the shells had penetrated into the tree trunks, and almost all the branches and leaves of some relatively low trees were knocked down.

"Awesome, this is too powerful, it is simply a divine weapon!"

Xiahou Dun touched the fragments, and he thought that if he used this kind of thing to fight, no matter how many enemies came, it would not be enough for a shell to hit.

Man Chong also said in shock: "Zian, I take back what I just said, but you slapped me in the face too fast."

They laughed at the same time, and Man Chong also smiled awkwardly.

"Having Zi'an alone is better than thousands of troops!" Guo Jia said.

"That's right!"

The others nodded in agreement.

Dian Wei said a little naively: "Shopkeeper Chen, if you get these things out, how can I go to the battlefield to kill the enemy myself?"

"Old Dian, don't you think it's not good to take down the enemy's city without bloodshed?" Guo Jia laughed.

"low profile!"

Chen Yang waved his hand, and said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the artillery is not perfect enough, Ma Jun, you go back and continue to improve."

"I'll take it back and study it again. Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be difficult to improve it." Ma Jun nodded.

After the artillery test was over, everyone recovered from the shock, and everyone dispersed, but they kept talking about the power of the artillery.

"Zian, there is one thing I have to remind you, pay attention to the second son!" Guo Jia said.

"Why did Feng Xiao say that?" Chen Yang asked curiously.

"This is just my feeling. During the time you went south, I stayed in Xudu and knew more than you."

Guo Jia said worriedly: "The second son seems to be a little dissatisfied with you. I also heard that you have conflicts with the second son's fiancée?"

Chen Yang never used the shadow intelligence system on the Cao family, so he didn't know as much as Guo Jia.

It seems that some rules have to be changed, especially seeing the potential danger.

Chen Yang briefly explained Guo Huan's affairs.

"Hopefully I'm thinking too much, but be careful!"

Guo Jia was silent for a while, then he left after speaking.

"Cao Pi, Yang Xiu..."

These two words emerged in Chen Yang's mind.

In fact, he had been so suspicious. Cao Pi and Yang Xiu had such a close relationship, something was wrong.
