Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

This cannon is even many times more powerful than the artillery of the Eight-Power Allied Forces.

The original Krupp cannon has a barrel of nearly 12 meters, weighs 49 tons, and can hit [-] meters.

Xia Houzhe's reduced barrel is 4 meters long and weighs six to seven tons.

The range is about 5000 meters!

Especially within 1000 meters, it can penetrate anything!

Not to mention the mere city walls and gates, a single shot can directly make a gap.

Now, his Great China is in the field of artillery, thousands of years ahead of foreigners!

It will no longer be a dream for the big man to become the world's most powerful country!

Krupp Cannon will also be renamed Tianji Cannon.

"My dear brother, are you okay?"

Cao Cao was a little worried.

Xia Houzhe was as steady as an old dog.

"Don't worry, be optimistic! If the Musketeers can help you pacify the aliens, then this cannon...is your capital to conquer the world!"

In a word, Cao Cao's blood boiled with excitement!

Conquering the whole world... He... dare not even think about it!

His goal has always been the big man, he never thought... his virtuous brother could look so far away?

Is he going to take me to become the hegemon of the world?

Xia Houzhe didn't know, so he just babbled casually, and Cao Cao made up so many scenes in his head.

Chapter 747 The power of the cannon, Cao Cao got the blueprint

Xia Houzhe loaded the gunpowder and shells one by one, and this cannon...

But it should be said that the giant cannon is more suitable. This giant cannon is better because it can fill two shells at a time.

Although only one shot can be fired at a time, the attack interval is also shortened.

The interval between two launches does not exceed 1 minute, which can be described as extremely powerful.

The Krupp cannon is the most powerful and longest-ranged of all ancient artillery.

Moreover, it is a breech-loading gun, so there is no need to fill the barrel.

However, it is still troublesome to fill, and it takes a few minutes to install.

The solid bullet alone weighed nearly two hundred catties!

The so-called solid bullets are big iron balls that won't explode, but are excellent for defending and attacking cities.

"Phew... it's done! Stay away, I'm afraid that the blast will kill you!"

Xia Houzhe clapped his hands, apparently pained by this cumbersome operation.

Cao Cao and others saw that he put a lot of gunpowder in, and ran away!

Especially Cao Chun, who runs faster than anyone else!

When he was blown up by fireworks, he almost died, so he naturally knew how powerful this thing was.

He didn't want to be the first Peerless to be blown to death!

After finishing the preparations, Xia Houzhe got a torch and prepared to light it on the match rope.

At this moment, a messenger ran out from Baitan City and came towards Cao Cao with the battle report in hand.

Cao Cao immediately stopped Xia Houzhe.

"My dear brother, wait! Let's listen to what Gao Gan has to say!"

"Let him come here!"

Cao Cao waved his hand, and Shenjiying immediately moved the musket away.

Messenger can come.

"Prime Minister Cao! My lord, Yuan Shang, said that if you recede at this point, my lord can still intercede with King Tadun for you."

"Let's just pretend nothing happened! If you insist on attacking the city... then the Wuhuan cavalry will crush your Cao camp!"

"It is impossible for you to capture Bai Tan now, you... think carefully about it!"

"We don't need to fight and hurt both sides, don't you think? You have almost occupied Yanzhou and Jizhou. If Youzhou is given to us, we will definitely be rewarded!"

The messenger is confident, and now Tadun has 10,000+ troops in Bailang Mountain.

It is impossible for Cao Cao to win the battle. If it is delayed for a few more days, Wuzhong County will probably be taken down.

At that time, both head and tail will be enemies, and Cao Cao will be defeated!

Cao Cao was so angry that he pulled out the Yitian sword.

If it wasn't for the fact that the two armies were not fighting, he would have chopped this guy down.

"Get out of here! If you don't, I'll chop you up!"

The messenger snorted softly: "The words have been brought, you... rat tail juice!"

After finishing speaking, he left Cao Ying swaggeringly.

The angry Cao Ying generals trembled all over.

"No! Brother, I can't swallow this breath! A mere remnant of the Yuan family is so presumptuous with the strength of his troops!"

"Fight! Kill this guy no matter what, let him know the dangers of society!"

Xia Houzhe pressed his hand and exhaled a smoke ring, as steady as an old dog.

"Why panic, the truth is within the range of the cannon! Just look at me!"

After speaking, the cannon was adjusted, and the torch was lit on the matchlock.

The matchlock slowly burned out.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a burst of sparks burst out from the cannon, making a deafening noise, and the cannon moved back a foot.

A big iron ball flew out from the gun barrel and blasted directly towards White Sandalwood City.

A few seconds later, there was an explosion above the city gate!

"Oh!"

The city gate was originally unbreakable, even a catapult could not break it.

Under the attack of the cannon, it was directly torn apart, and more than half of it was shattered!

There is only less than a third left.

Yuan Shang and others in White Sandalwood City fell into fear and panic because of this cannonball!

The soldiers were even more restless!

Looking at this scene, Cao Cao and others gasped!

There was a look of horror in his eyes!

"hiss…"

"My God! The city gate... the city gate is actually broken?"

"Damn it! It's more than two miles away! How could it be possible? Even a catapult can't do it! It takes a long, long time to crash into a car, just to barely break away!"

"A god! This is really a god. Why is there such a powerful thing in the world?"

Everyone was terrified. If they could still accept the musket, then this cannon...has shaken their world view!

These veterans who have fought on the battlefield for a long time are all terrified, let alone those women soldiers.

Already dumbfounded!

And Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu were even more jealous!

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and couldn't help looking at Xia Houzhe, feeling a kind of... this person must not be an enemy.

In the face of such weapons, what is the use of a city with high defense?

No matter how awesome the cavalry is, how can they stop it?

Xia Houzhe put down the binoculars and nodded in satisfaction.

"Good luck, actually hit the gate of Wengcheng! How is it? What do you think? The power is still passable?"

Seeing his calm appearance, everyone's facial features twitched.

"This... is not only passable! It's simply against the sky!"

"With it, why worry about the city not being broken? It's too powerful! How did you make it, brother?"

Cao Cao was amazed for a while, and hurried up to look at the cannon.

It's obviously a big iron pipe, why... the thing that shoots out is so powerful?

Cao Cao didn't understand why, but he knew...

The person who can make artillery is his brother and his son-in-law!

It is enough to understand this!

"This was made by the way when I was making muskets, and Zixiu also helped to do it."

Xia Houzhe responded calmly.

Cao Cao was taken aback, and looked at Cao Ang beside him.

"You know? Why don't you tell?"

Cao Ang spread his hands and looked innocent: "Father, you didn't ask! Why should I say it?"

"What's more, my uncle and I just did it together, but never ejaculated, how would I know?"

puff…

Xia Houzhe spat out a mouthful of water.

"Stinky boy, can you talk? We studied cannons together. What do you mean by doing it together?"

"Those who don't know think I have something to do with you! No wonder your father always beats you! You deserve it!"

Cao Cao was also very upset to see this son, who actually concealed such an artifact and didn't report it?

"Come here, let me...fork him away!"

Cao Cao beckoned, Cao Ang was sent to the logistics, Cao Chun hid aside and gloated!

Finally, it wasn't him who was crossed this time.

After the annoying son was driven away, Cao Cao's mood improved a lot in an instant.

"Brother, how far can this thing hit?"

"I haven't tried it yet. It is roughly estimated that 5000 meters is possible! But you can't add too much gunpowder. If it blows up, we will be finished."

Xia Houzhe touched his chin and said.

Everyone in Cao Ying was shocked again when they heard the words!

5000 meters... What a terrifying number!

No matter what kind of weapon in the world, it can't hit this far. Even the largest catapult is only 500 meters.

Everyone held back for a long time, but they couldn't think of any vocabulary, so they could only say one sentence...

"Brilliant!"

"Don't be too happy, I can only carry this cannon. If I am marching and fighting, I can't carry such a big cannon."

"After the artillery is smaller, the power and range will be smaller, but it is far more powerful than the catapult."

"If there is an artillery team, it will be no problem to push a city flat!"

Xia Houzhe said with a smile, and then used the gear to move the barrel a little bit, aiming at Gao Gan and Yuan Shang.
