Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

Chen Yang circled around the cannon, nodded and said, "Although it's a bit bigger, it doesn't matter, as long as it's powerful enough."

Ma Jun explained: "Because the artillery can only be made very large and consumes a lot of steel, it is very troublesome to manufacture. During this period of time, we can only manufacture this one."

Chen Yang said indifferently: "I'm not in a hurry to get this kind of artillery. You can build it whenever you can. As for the progress of other artillery, it's fine if it doesn't fail. Can you take this out for a try?"

"Yes, of course!"

Ma Jun nodded repeatedly.

In order to facilitate the movement of the cannon, they still installed wheels on the bottom, and because the thing was too big and heavy, more than a dozen soldiers pushed it out together, and then pulled it with horses, and finally pulled it outside. an empty place.

Chen Yang looked back, this kind of artillery will be very inflexible to use, but as long as it is powerful enough, it can make up for all this.

After placing the cannon, Ma Jun ordered people to install more than a dozen brackets on the bottom as a base, because once the cannon is fired, the recoil force should be very strong, and ordinary wheels may not be able to support such a large cannon.

"My lord, I'm ready and ready to start at any time."

Ma Jun said loudly.

Chen Yang came back to his senses, pointed to a high mountain in front of him, and said, "Let's try shooting there first!"

Ma Jun waved his hand, and immediately there were soldiers going to get the shells. At this time, the shells were no longer in the shape of a ball, but they were made into the shape of a bullet head, loaded into the barrel, everything was ready, and they were ignited directly. .

Because this was the first time to test artillery, Chen Yang was worried that it was still unstable and would explode, causing everyone to back off.

"boom!"

A loud bang sounded right beside them.

The recoil force of this artillery was really strong enough. The ground was shaken for a while, and then the smoke and dust filled the air. After the shell was fired, there was another loud noise.

The artillery bombarded violently, and a large mountain was knocked down. This power, ten times that of those ordinary artillery, is too shocking.

"My lord, this is amazing!"

As the creator, Ma Jun was also shocked by this power, never thought that the power would be so terrifying.

This is really amazing, Chen Yang was stunned for a while after reading it.

"Try a few more shots!"

Chen Yang said.

Soon some soldiers ran over to replace the shells. After a while, the second shell was also bombarded. The sound was also deafening. The place was blown down again, which shows how powerful it is.

The soldiers who were in charge of testing the artillery were full of enthusiasm at this moment. They had never seen such a powerful weapon, and they had to sigh that the lord was so powerful. If the weapon was used on the battlefield, who would be able to stop them in the future.

With this cannon, it would be very easy for Chen Yang to become king or emperor.

"That's right, take this one to the army first, and produce the second one as much as possible."

Chen Yang patted Ma Jun on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ma Jun shook his head quickly and said, "We didn't work hard at all."

Compared to Chen Yang fighting everywhere, Ma Jun felt that they were too relaxed.

In fact, Chen Yang still wanted to make some muskets or something, but after thinking about it, he gave up. The Krupp cannon was enough.

The soldiers removed the bracket and pulled the artillery back vigorously.

Chen Yang returned to the factory and warned: "This artillery must be a secret, and the manufacturing method must not be revealed."

Ma Jun nodded and said: "My lord, don't worry, I understand all these, and all the people we hired to give birth can be trusted."

Hearing his affirmation, Chen Yang was also relieved, and continued: "The craftsmen have worked hard. In the past few days, you can go to Lao Fang to ask for more rewards, and reward them."

Ma Jun hurriedly said: "Thank you, my lord!"

These rewards are not only available to craftsmen, but also to Ma Jun.

Ma Jun also knows one thing, the lord is very likely to become the emperor in the future, so he can also be a hero who founded the country, and work harder than anyone else.

After returning to Chang'an from the factory, Chen Yang called Jiang Wei over.

"What are your orders, my lord?"

Jiang Wei asked.

"I plan to lead the troops northward in two days, and I will hand over all the affairs of Chang'an to you. Is it possible?"

Chen Yang couldn't wait to give Wang Ji a try, the power of their new artillery.

"No problem at all!"

Jiang Wei immediately agreed.

"There is Liangzhou to the west of Chang'an, and Luoyang to the east. The east and the west are fine for the time being. The only thing that needs attention is Hanzhong in the south."

Chen Yang wanted to lead his troops to the north, so only the south had to be wary. However, the defenders in Hanzhong would not attack rashly. After all, Cao Cao was already in a hurry to deal with Sima Yi.

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about going out. If there is any problem in Chang'an, I would like to see you with my head up."

Chen Yang said with a smile: "There is no need to be so nervous. With you here, I believe there will be no problems in the whole pass."

Simply handing over the rest to Jiang Wei, Chen Yang went back to accompany his wife and children.

Two days later, it was time for Chen Yang to prepare for the expedition.

Early in the morning, outside Chang'an City, an army of 2 people was assembled. After the review, they set off directly to the north.

It's just that not long after the army walked out of the barracks, all the generals stared at the huge Krupp artillery of the rear army, and then widened their eyes.

When did the lord have such a big cannon?

"My lord, which one is more powerful, this cannon or the previous one?"

Wenpin asked curiously.

This time, Chen Yang only brought Wenpin, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun with him, and the rest stayed behind to assist Jiang Wei in defending Chang'an.

Guan Yu smiled and said, "Which one of the things the lord made won't work? If it can be brought out this time, it must be more powerful than artillery."

Zhao Yun looked at the cannon and praised: "The surface of this cannon looks more powerful than before, and its appearance is also harder. By the way, you have all gone to Ma Jun to build new weapons recently, right?"

Mentioning this, Wenpin pulled out his sword, under the sunlight, the blade was bright and shining.

"This sword cuts iron like mud and is extremely hard. All the soldiers we brought out were replaced with this kind of weapon."

Wenpin has personally tried the sharpness of these fine steels.

The army is equipped with these weapons, and when they charge into battle, killing the enemy is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Guan Yu raised his saber and said, "I've used this saber for so many years, and now I have feelings, I don't plan to change it."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "So does my gun!"

Their weapons have been with them for a long time, and they are reluctant to change them.

As the march progressed, they soon came to the first city in the north, which was called Sheyan.
