Chapter 214: The Artillery Shows Its Power, Scaring the Envoy
"Well, well, since the two envoys are so impatient, I will oblige you and show you the power of this Red Cannon."
Shen Changgong shouted to the people several dozen feet below,
"Ruan Tail!"
"To!"
Ruan Weiba below turned around and saluted.
"Get ready to fire, aim high!"
"As ordered!"
To be honest, Ruan Weiba used to think that Lanling Wang was too good to him. He did nothing every day just moving things and doing odd jobs.
For this kind of job, if you just give anyone ten cents a day and provide them with food, they will all rush to do it.
It's not like he's giving money or a house as a reward to his wife.
But when he followed those people from the East Factory last time, pushing two cannons, to test here, he was stunned when he saw with his own eyes the first cannon explode and blow the death row prisoner to pieces.
He finally realized that there is no free lunch in this world, and the better the reward he gets, the greater the risk he has to take.
If you are not careful, you won’t even be able to leave your entire body.
What Lanling Wang valued was not the fact that he had no talent or ability, but his incredible luck.
Fortunately, when he nervously lit the fuse of the second cannon, the cannon fired smoothly and bombarded the distance.
From then on, any cannon he ignited with his own hands was successful, and he was also called the Lucky Star by the East Factory.
Based on his cannon, the East Factory produced a better cannon.
He was rewarded for this.
Ruan Weiba shouted loudly, gestured to the prisoner on the right side of the cannon, and shouted,
"Ready to fire, aim well. It'll be fine if one of us can hit the target. If we can hit the target this time, you can go home to visit your family and I'll give you a reward."
"Oh, okay."
The death row inmate was smiling happily.
The soldiers had already loaded their guns and taken aim, and all they had to do was fire them.
Ruan Weiba and the condemned prisoner took torches and placed them on the fuse.
The fuse ignited quickly, and Ruan Weiba felt a little nervous.
He knew that his gun would definitely not have any problems, but the guy next door was unlucky.
Now I just hope that the other party will have better luck and not get myself into trouble.
Perhaps it was Ruan Weiba's incredible luck that the two cannons were successfully fired one after the other.
boom! ! !
The cannon at Ruan Weiba successfully hit the pile of boulders, and then exploded with a loud bang, shattering and flying in all directions.
This scene stunned the two messengers.
Both of them opened their mouths wide.
However, this is not over yet.
The cannon of the death row prisoner flew higher than Ruan Weiba's cannon, either because the rear support was not adjusted properly or the angle was too high, and hit the cliff halfway up the mountain directly.
boom! ! !
Another loud noise was heard, and the cliff wall exploded, with large pieces of rubble flying all around. A big hole appeared on the cliff wall, and there were signs of cracks around it.
The two messengers were stunned again, looking at the miraculous scene in the distance in disbelief.
Such a hard rock can be shattered just by blowing it up?
A mountain that high, that far away, was hit directly? And the mountain was even destroyed?
If this hits a person, wouldn't it make them covered in bruises?
Shen Changgong gave a thumbs up to Ruan Weiba below, which made Ruan Weiba so happy.
To be honest, only people from the East Factory had seen artillery firing before. Yan Fuyao, Gongsun Wan'er, Tu Que Ling, Guan Shouchang, Yu Huatian and others also saw the scene of artillery firing for the first time.
The Qi envoy Liu Fugui suddenly looked at Yan Fuyao and said seriously,
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Yan, our Great Qi wishes to establish an everlasting alliance with Great Yan, becoming brother nations, helping and supporting each other, and never betraying each other!"
Zhao Biao also said seriously,
"It's the same with Daliang. The friendship between our three countries is indestructible, stronger than your red cannons."
Shen Changgong chuckled.
The attitudes of these two people before and after are completely different.
Last second: Who wants to form an alliance with Dayan?
The next second: Brother, I am your second brother!
The reactions of these two funny guys made the empress laugh out loud and cover her mouth lightly.
Liu Fugui sighed,
“This earth-shattering power is truly terrifying, like a thunderbolt descending from heaven, punishing all living beings with the power to destroy heaven and earth.
"I, the outsiders, dare not even imagine that if a row of cannons were deployed and fired simultaneously to bombard the enemy's walls, it would be difficult to find a few living people on the city walls."
Zhao Biao also said,
"Yes, with these powerful weapons, the so-called city wall has become a joke. No wonder King Shen said that destroying the enemy's wall is as easy as walking on flat ground. Wow, this one was directly razed to the ground.
I can even imagine that when the cavalry charged, the Yan army's cannons would fly over and the enemy would be thrown to the ground without a fight."
Liu Fugui continued,
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Yan, our Qi State is willing to accept Yan's terms. Yan will monopolize half of Kun's northern territory, and our country will only take the nine southeastern counties."
"My Liang Kingdom only wants the nine southwestern counties."
Zhao Biao added.
Yan Fuyao nodded and said slowly,
"The two envoys are so reasonable, and I am not one to be unreasonable. We can sign the alliance today."
Seeing that the other side had such powerful strength but did not bully them, but instead kept its promise, the envoys of both countries were full of goodwill towards the Emperor of Yan and believed that this was a country of gentlemen.
Suddenly, Liu Fugui laughed and said in a joking tone,
"Your Majesty, the Yan State possesses such a powerful force. After destroying the Kun State, it cannot march south to attack us again.
After you destroy Kun, you can't destroy our Qi and Liang at the same time."
If you hit him, you can't hit me.
What Liu Fugui meant was very clear.
Zhao Biao's heart skipped a beat, the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at the empress.
Yan Fuyao smiled slightly and said,
"We in Yan State don't have such big ambitions. We destroyed Kun only for revenge. We have no ambitions towards Qi and Liang. Otherwise, we can just fight among ourselves. Why would we bother to involve you two countries?
Moreover, the world is too big, and our Yan State has few people and little land. Even if we destroy Kun, digest their land, and assimilate their population, it will probably take at least one or two hundred years. How can we have the spare energy to attack your two countries again?
After your two countries have conquered Kun, they will become more powerful than ever. Even if Yan is powerful, we can't be enemies with both countries at the same time, right?"
"Hahahaha, that's natural. Our three families have made an alliance that will last forever. In the future, we will dominate the north together and compete with powerful countries like Daqian and Dachu in the south. Let's see who dares to bully us in the future.
By then, we might even need Dayan to send troops to help us."
"That's easy. After all, we are allies and brother nations. How can we not help our brothers when they are in trouble?"
Everyone laughed.
Suddenly, Zhao Biao saw several soldiers, who seemed to be holding something, walking towards the pile of rocks at the bottom of the hillside.
