    As soon as the red cloth covering the cannon was lifted, Chen Hongfan's expression immediately changed.  ¡î¡ú For laymen to watch the fun, for insiders to watch the door, Chen Hongfan¡¯s position is the general soldier. He also likes firearms and has a lot of research on firearms. He soon saw the extraordinary power of the cannon as Lu Haoshan said: The general is about  More than two feet, with a caliber of about three inches. Even the Sichuan improved version has also increased in size. Although it is extremely powerful, it is not surprising, because Chen Hongfan has seen the more powerful Hongyi cannon. The Hongyi cannon is about one foot long.  , weighs two tons, and the caliber of the muzzle is three and a half inches, which looks like a huge thing. However, the so-called cannon in front of us weighs about one ton, and the barrel is less than one foot. It is heavier and longer than the Hongyi cannon.  It is slightly shorter, but the muzzle reaches an astonishing 600 mm, which is one foot and eight inches.  The muzzle of the cannon is six times as large as the general's cannon.  Looking at the huge and formidable muzzle, Chen Hongfan was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide and remained silent for a long time. The muzzle was so thick that it could easily fit a thin soldier into the barrel.  Even before the cannon was fired, just looking at it gave people a creepy feeling.  "This, this is a cannon, this is too too big." Seeing this giant cannon, Chen Hongfan was speechless.  Just imagine how powerful this giant cannon is when it fires a shot. This kind of artillery has subverted Chen Hongfan's understanding of artillery. Casting such a large artillery requires not only extremely demanding requirements on casting technology, but also the requirements for its casting.  The material is also a big test, because it is not easy to withstand the huge explosive force. If you don't master it well, it will cause problems such as explosion, cracking, and trachoma.  Just like firing porcelain, the larger the appliance, the more difficult it is to bake it. Sometimes the difficulty is doubled if it is one inch larger. This principle also applies to casting artillery.  Although I knew that Sichuan was far ahead in firearms, I didn't expect it to reach such a height.  Chen Hongfan used to not understand why Sichuan was willing to sell new firearms to the Qing army and Dashun. He often privately said that Sichuan was crazy.  Now it seems that they have something to rely on.  Hearing Chen Hongfan's words, Lu Haoshan wiped his nose unnaturally. This was a small failure. The design was originally very good. Sichuan can not only make iron bullets that can be loaded quickly, but also can make iron cannonballs with slight modifications.  , the concept is advanced, the design is scientific, the only flaw in the Ming Dynasty's gunpowder is ordinary black powder.  The power is limited. Although Lu Haoshan has improved it, the effect is still not ideal. In order to highlight its huge power and shocking power, it has to be made larger and bolder.  If there were high-explosives from later generations, there would be no need to work so hard and the power would be even greater.  "Sir, the artillery is already in place." Qian Baitong ran over and reported respectfully.  Lu Haoshan said calmly: "Reload". Who was the guard in the city and how many people were guarding it? Lu Haoshan didn't bother to ask. Almost all the famous senior generals of the Qing Dynasty were dead.  Most of the rest are mediocre. What Lu Haoshan has to do is to establish his prestige, and take Xi'an to establish his prestige.  There is a saying that it is better to meet than to be famous. Only by letting Chen Hongfan see the power of the Sichuan Army.  Seeing the sharpness of the Sichuan Army with his own eyes gave him a tremor in his soul, and he would tame it from the bottom of his heart.  Lu Haoshan has today¡¯s status and does not need anyone¡¯s approval.  Now I am deliberately trying to establish my authority, not because I want to be powerful in front of Chen Hongfan, but because I want to shock him through the scene.  Let Chen Hongfan act as his lobbyist and collapse from within the Southern Ming Dynasty. On that day, the Hongguang regime sent Zuo Maodi, Ma Shaoyu, and Chen Hongfan as envoys to the Qing Dynasty. Chen Hongfan was able to persuade Dorgon to put Zuo Maodi and Ma Shaoyu under house arrest because he had the means to persuade them.  Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Zeqing and others surrendered.  If it can be used by Dorgon, it can also be used by himself. Although Nanming has little momentum, it has millions of troops. Lu Haoshan does not want to waste too much time here, nor does he want to cause more casualties to the people of the Central Plains. He is determined to  Develop an agent to act on your behalf.  The easiest way to capture a fortress is from within.  This is also the result of Lu Haoshan letting Chen Hongfan run away and then catching him back to deliberately establish his authority.  As soon as the cannon appeared, Chen Hongfan was surprised. When loading, his eyes almost dropped out: ordinary cannonballs only weigh a few kilograms. There are three kinds of shells used by general cannons, namely seven kilograms, three kilograms, and one kilograms.  Jin, even after Sichuan's improvement, the heaviest artillery shell does not exceed ten kilograms. An ordinary soldier can easily pick it up. It is the legendary Hongyi cannon. The heaviest shell weighs 20 kilograms, which is very big.  It's amazing, but it pales in comparison to the cannon.  "It took two strong men to carry the shell, and four soldiers to work together to load it into the barrel. Good guy, this thing just won't explode, and anyone who lets it hit it will have to stop eating."  "GeneralMr. Governor, this cannonHow heavy does it bounce?  "For some reason, Chen Hongfan felt that his mouth was a little dry when he was talking. Chen Hongfan, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, knew that it was caused by his nervousness. "Oh, this model of artillery shell is not heavy, only 160 kilograms.  "Lu Haoshan said lightly. "160 kilograms, my God, the weight alone is 16 times that of a general cannon. By the way, the Sichuan governor also said that this model is not heavy, so his subtext is that Sichuan has more powerful,  Heavier shells? Chen Hongfan's face turned pale and he took a big breath of air. While the two were talking, the artillery had been loaded and was waiting for orders. Chen Hongfan saw the anxiety of the soldiers on the wall of Xi'an and wondered if they were waiting.  The Sichuan army asked to surrender, but they must have sensed danger: "Sir, the artillery is ready.  "Qian Baitong reported to Lu Haoshan again. Lu Haoshan nodded, turned to Chen Hongfan and said, "Okay, Mr. Chen, you can time it.  "After that, he made a launch gesture to Qian Baitong. "Let go!  "Qian Baitong immediately carried out the order faithfully. "Boom" "BoomBoom, boom, boom" After a burst of fuses burned, the thirty artillery fired one after another, one after another on the city wall of Xi'an.  Wreaking havoc, Chen Hongfan was surprised to see that the Sichuan army's artillery fired accurately and hard. Many of them hit the thick city walls directly, causing the Qing soldiers guarding the city to fly bloody and bloody. They screamed incessantly. Some city walls were also damaged.  Damaged. This improved General Cannon is nearly twice as powerful as the original General Cannon. It should be due to innovations in gunpowder. You can tell by the explosion sound.  Just when Chen Hongfan was surprised, he suddenly heard the sound of burning fuses. He turned around and saw that the fuses of the three terrifying cannons were still burning. It should be that in order to better demonstrate the power of the cannons, the Sichuan Army deliberately  The fuse was placed so long that even after the general had finished blowing it up, it was still burning the fuse. "Peng Peng Peng" sounded like three loud sounds like thunder on dry land, followed by three more huge "booms".  The sound made the ground shake. Due to lack of preparation, Chen Hongfan's ears were about to be deafened. However, Chen Hongfan ignored his ears because at this time, he was so surprised that his mouth opened in an O shape and his eyes almost popped out: 3  Fired cannon shells, two shot down the gatehouse on the city wall, and one shot hit the closed gate. The result of these three rounds was that the gatehouse was blown up. It was not easy to break open the city gate with a giant ramming truck.  It was blown open all at once, and the door with a large number of copper nails was blown to pieces with just one shot. Is this the power of artillery? At this moment, Chen Hongfan felt like he was dreaming, but  He pinched his thigh secretly. Yes, this was not a dream. At this moment, Chen Hongfan finally understood why the powerful and arrogant Qing army was defeated so completely by the Sichuan soldiers.  It's strength, not luck. While Chen Hongfan was in shock, the Sichuan army launched two more rounds of bombings, causing the guards in Xi'an to cry loudly. There was not a single intact squad on the wall full of soldiers.  When the time came, Lu Haoshan gave an order, and tens of thousands of elite Sichuan troops rode up, holding new-style muskets in their hands, grenades and scimitars on their waists, and rushed forward with a loud killing sound like a strong wind.  The situation was like falling leaves, but as soon as the charge was launched, the white flag symbolizing surrender was already hung on the wall. The soldiers on the wall put down their weapons and surrendered to the Sichuan army without any dignity.  Come on, Qian Baitong escorted a general who looked depressed. When he asked about the situation, even Lu Haoshan was speechless. It turned out that most of the elite Manchu troops were killed in Wujiawan, and a Jia La'e who was stationed here was holding a red flag.  Zhen was so frightened that he turned pale when he heard that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Duni were also killed in Hanzhong, especially since all the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in the city had been killed and beheaded by the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who had rebelled, as well as the people in the city.  Everyone is feeling bad.  So, the night before yesterday, he secretly opened the city gate and left without saying goodbye. For fear of being plotted against him, he didn't take any gold or silver property with him, so he secretly escaped with his men. The man who surrendered was named Sun Hu. He had no intention of resisting from the beginning.  They had nothing to atone for their sins, so they closed the city gates and waited for the Sichuan soldiers to recruit them, thinking that this way they could raise their status a bit, negotiate a price, and give them time to atone for their sins. However, they never expected that this Sichuan soldier would be there.  Arrive, attack the city directly without even saying hello.  When they came to their senses, they fired three rounds of artillery fire, and when they saw the charge began, they were so frightened that they quickly raised the white flag they had prepared.  Chen Hongfan on the side was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that after capturing a cityIt was so easy, to use today's naughty words, it scared the baby, and it wasn't until Lu Haoshan spoke that he came back to his senses.  "Mr. Chen, I wonder how much time it takes now?" Lu Haoshan turned to look at Chen Hongfan and asked.  Chen Hongfan swallowed hard and murmured: "This this, it's probably only half an hour."
