    "What's going on?" One or two envoys from various European countries looked at me and I looked at you. They really couldn't figure out how this giant thing moved.  "Only Xuan Jianhao, Lu Xiangsheng, and Li Yan who have been watching here understand it. Of course they will not leak the secrets, so that all countries will be slowly shocked and surprised!"  China¡¯s mechanism is very powerful. This behemoth moves through the mechanism. At the same time, it is like multiple people paddling. People push the mechanism hard to make the machine start to move.  After all, when the steam engine had not yet been invented and developed, this old-fashioned mechanism and the use of human power were undoubtedly the best choice.  Lu Xiangsheng and others knew that because they were wrapped in iron, unless the opponent used cannons to bombard them, your soldiers could not be eliminated with cold weapons no matter how you chopped, stabbed or stabbed them. Instead, they would suffer great harm.  damage.  There is just one thing. Because it is bulky and relies entirely on human power to drive the mechanism, it is naturally extremely slow. The speed is slow, which is its shortcoming.  The envoys from various countries were dumbfounded!  There are actually cannons in this behemoth. They are thinking that their infantry wants to hold knives and use cold weapons, which is simply impossible.  The cannon was specially designed to pass through the viewing platform so that all countries could see it clearly.  In fact, most of the envoys from various countries focused their attention on the huge thing wrapped in iron sheets. They wanted to see clearly what it was made of.  When this behemoth passed by, the sound was even louder, and its speed was not fast.  In fact, I can't do it any faster even if I want to.  The envoys from various countries all "swish".  Everyone stood up.  They want to see this thing clearly, so that they can build another one after returning to China.  But can they see it clearly?  After the cannon passed the viewing platform, a flag rider came over quickly and asked: "The cannon has passed! Please give the order!" The envoys from various countries were looking at Xiaoyao, wondering what the so-called order would be.  What kind of order?  But most people can guess that it should be a cannon!  They wanted to take a good look at the power of Datang's cannon.     Yes!  If you don't fire.  Why would they choose to hold a military parade in a vast but deserted place like the Mongolian steppe?  Xiaoyao just nodded his head to indicate that they could start.  The prince has given an order, how can he not execute it quickly?  There is an orderly soldier standing on the archery tower. He is holding a red flag in his hand. He can issue orders to the gunners by waving the red flag.     Yes!  The order has been issued!  In front of the field artillery and the behemoth tank are targets one after another. Although they are far away, if they want to hit them, the gunner's ability will have to be tested!  People like the Duke of York were looking at it from afar with telescopes. They all had their hearts in their throats. Could the cannon of the Tang Dynasty hit it?  Even the cannon they claim to be the most advanced in the world may not be able to hit the target!  They all opened their eyes wide.  It¡¯s time to witness a magical moment!  "Boom! Boom!" The cannon boomed!  The shells were fired one after another at the target in the distance, and the target was immediately blown into the sky.  It can be said to be a perfect shot!  Cannon hit!  This time, everyone could no longer sit still. They all stood up so that they could see clearly.     Yes!  The hit rate was so high that they were stunned, the shots were so powerful!  There are also some small artillery that actually fire while moving!  "The behemoth iron chariot that attracted their greatest attention fired while moving. However, if it fired while moving, the hit rate would be greatly reduced. Only when it stopped, the hit rate was also very high.  They were all dumbfounded as they watched the target objects being blown up into the sky one by one, dancing in the air and drawing weird arcs!  Oh my God!  It¡¯s incredible!  "Oh! My God!" This is their unanimous exclamation!  It's really too strong!  too strong!  If they really fight against the Tang army, they have no chance of winning, they can only be losers!  Peter the Great said to himself: "I heard that the Tang Army established an artillery church to train artillerymen! Now it seems that their actions are so wise!" "What?" The Duke of York turned around and looked at Peter the Great  , the Duke of York had to change his view of Peter the Great. This boy was far stronger than imagined!  And after the opponent finished shooting, they immediately loaded the cannon onto the vehicle and took it to another place. The speed of firing again was very fast.  They are skilled in their movements and can get it done quickly.  "Oh my God! It's so strong!" Among people's sighs, many people said:?The eyes were unanimously turned to Charles XII to see what Sweden thought.  Charlie XII¡¯s face was bloodless, and it could be seen from his expression that he was completely in shock.  The field artillery tactics they had improved since Gustavus II were insignificant to the Tang army.  The world's number one position was replaced by Tang Jun.  Frederick IV applauded and said: "Cousin Charlie, did you see it? Tang Jun is really strong! Stronger than you!" This was a mockery of Charles XII.  Charles XII was naturally very unhappy.  He was angry, but now he had to be convinced!  Especially the rumbling sound of artillery is still heard, and they are constantly repeating the fact that the Tang army is much stronger than the Swedish army!  The continuous sound of "rumbling" artillery is a fact to the envoys of various countries. The cannons of the Tang Army are not only better than those of European countries in terms of lethality and hit rate, but also in terms of durability and heat in the barrel.  It's going to be superior in every aspect.  In the past, all European military units were proud of their superiority in firearms, but now that the Tang Army has the advantage, what else will they rely on to challenge the Tang Army?  The sound of cannons was like an alarm bell lingering in their hearts!  Make them feel extremely scared!  terrible!  The sound of gunfire finally stopped, and this time, they breathed a sigh of relief.  During the visit a few days ago, they did see the Tang army's cannonballs and ammunition piled up like mountains. Datang deliberately let them see it.  Like Li Yan also said, we would rather others continue to be friendly with us and waste these ammunition than use up these ammunition!  But if anyone really wants to go against our Datang, we will fight them to the end so that these ammunition can be put to use!  When the cannons roared, all the countries thought of Li Yan's soft but hard warning. They also believed that it was reasonable and they would not get any benefits if they really fought against the Tang Dynasty.  Now the cannon has stopped, but under the random bombardment of the cannon, everyone's hearts cannot stop. Their hearts are still in shock for a long time, and they cannot calm down!  Especially when the target they just destroyed is right in front of their eyes, this is a real situation!  Naturally, the envoys from various countries cannot say a single word. Now they should say they are not convinced?  You have to accept it even if you don¡¯t accept it!  Others said: "It's just that the cannon is powerful! In a fight, it's not just about whose cannon is powerful, but whoever has the best cannon will win the final victory!" As soon as this was said, many people immediately agreed: "Yes!  That's right! If Datang just shows us how advanced and powerful their cannons are, then there's no need! What's the use of a single cannon?  Datang's cannons are much more powerful! " "That's right! Even if they are stronger than us now, we will be hundreds of times stronger than them in a short time!"  !¡± At this time, the envoys from various countries also came to comfort themselves!  It can be seen that although the countries are shocked, their dissatisfaction is still obvious.  "Yes! Yes!" A horseman came quickly. He jumped off the horse and raised his hands to report: "The cannon has been inspected!" Lu Xiangsheng and Li Yan smiled at each other, and they scanned the crowd again. These people from various countries  The envoys no longer behaved as arrogant and indifferent as before.  Xiaoyao waved his hand and said: "Okay! Your performance just now was very exciting! I think the ambassadors from various countries or the royal family are still a little dissatisfied!" Everyone's eyes fell on Xiaoyao, and it was indeed in their hearts.  Still very dissatisfied!  Didn¡¯t you say you want them to see the powerful national power?  Why don't you start now?  million?  Where is the million-strong army you mentioned?  They really want to see it!  They seemed like they couldn¡¯t wait any longer, and some even thought they were bragging!  If it wasn't bragging, why haven't we seen a million-strong army yet?  And when they came to see it, they didn¡¯t find the army at all!  Ordinarily, if such a huge army appears, it will be impossible to hide it from others.  "And the envoys from various countries have spies here. They are all investigating, trying to find out where the huge legion is, and then they want to take a look.  It¡¯s just that they found nothing. I don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s because Datang¡¯s confidentiality measures were good, or because the parade of millions of troops was a gimmick, just a joke!  Xiaoyao glanced at them, and the exciting program will start as scheduled!  Xiaoyao was laughing, because when the sound of cannons stopped, it was a signal, a signal of the arrival of the army!  This will surprise all countries.?An army of one million people you think is impossible?  Well, take a good look at it!  Look how spectacular this scene must be!  However, the Mongolian ministries did not dare to speak out. They thought it was okay because they had heard the noise before. After all, there had been two rehearsals!  It was impossible that the movement was not small. It was impossible for the tribes living in the Mongolian grasslands not to send people to check. They had discovered it, but they did not say anything.  (To be continued)
