Yang Jing gave Li Yun a look. The latter nodded and led the excited Wang Tianhao straight to the Armstrong Cannon.
As soon as Wang Tianhao approached the cannon, he couldn't wait to touch it and examine it carefully.
This was the first time he had come into close contact with a powerful cannon.
When he had been in the capital, he had only followed the Emperor to watch the Divine Arms Battalion fire from afar.
Although he had only seen it from a distance, the power of the Hong Yi Cannon, which was enough to wipe out hundreds of soldiers, was unforgettable.
Since then, he had been interested in these firearms.
Unfortunately, the Emperor was too eager to break the Donglin Party's heart, so he was demoted to the Hui Prefecture after only a short stay in the capital, replacing the Donglin Party member who had been the commander at the time.
From then on, he was getting further and further away from these firearms.
However, he did not expect that one day, he would be under Yang Jing's command and would be able to see this incomparably powerful cannon again!
Although this cannon looked no different from the Hong Yi Cannon, its size was much smaller than the Hong Yi Cannon.
It looked much more nimble than Da Ming's heavy cannon.
Although he didn't know where Yang Jing got this cannon, he didn't know how powerful it was.
However, it would not be too bad when compared to the Hong Yi Cannon.
After all, even if it was a replica of the Hong Yi Cannon made from Manchu wild boar skin, its power was not inferior to those made by Shen Ji.
Wang Tianhao felt that this cannon might have been modified and replicated by Yang Jing based on the Hong Yi Cannon, so he had a rough estimate of its power.
Since it was an imitation, then according to his guess, no matter how powerful this cannon was, it couldn't be stronger than the Hong Yi Cannon.
Yang Jing looked at the middle-aged man in the distance who was studying the cannon non-stop and unwilling to let go. He found it funny.
He cleared his throat and shouted at Wang Tianhao,""Are you ready?"
Wang Tianhao hurriedly turned around and nodded.
"I'm ready!"
"Good!"
Yang Jing nodded, then looked at the cannon and shouted.
"Fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the artillery that was already prepared handed the torch to Wang Tianhao.
He took the torch and looked at the fuse of the cannon with excitement.
The hand holding the torch trembled slightly for a moment before he finally lit the cannon fuse!
Time went silent for two seconds.
A flaming cannonball shot out from the cannon like a meteor, drawing a dazzling red line in the sky.
The fiery red cannonball flew further and further away under everyone's expectant gazes. In the end, it turned into a red dot and quietly landed on the distant hills.
Time went silent for another two seconds.
"Boom! Rumble!"
The moment the shell came into contact with the hill, a loud bang was heard.
The hills in the distance exploded in front of everyone's shocked eyes.
A huge mushroom cloud slowly rose from the distant hills. After rising for a few minutes, it turned into a cloud of smoke and scattered in all directions.
By the time the smoke dispersed, the hill in the distance had been flattened, and the few hills around it had disappeared.
Wang Tianhao couldn't believe his eyes. He held the torch in his hand and looked at the flattened hills before turning to look at the smiling Yang Jing.
He pointed at the hills in the distance with his trembling left hand and opened his mouth a few times. His throat was so dry that he could not make a sound for a moment.
He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and suddenly shouted.
"Wei…It's incomparably powerful!"
Yang Jing chuckled and clapped his hands twice to practice his praise.
"Not bad, not bad."
The original estimated range was 500 meters, but he did not expect it to reach 800 meters.
This first batch of cannons was even better than he had imagined, and they were even more powerful!
"The cannon is very successful."
"The craftsmen have worked hard."
"Pass down the order. All the craftsmen in the weapon manufacturing factory will be given a two-day break. Each of them will be rewarded with five taels of gold!”
"Yes, sir!"
Li Yun was also very excited when he saw this scene. He responded with a happy expression and slightly cupped his fists before turning around to leave.
Yang Jing smiled and walked in front of Wang Tianhao. He could not help but tease,"Lord Wang, I wonder how powerful my cannon is compared to Great Ming's Hong Yi Cannon?”
Wang Tianhao looked at the cannon beside him and shook his head subconsciously.
"There's no way to compare."
Yang Jing was surprised.
"Hmm?"
Wang Tianhao shook his head.
"There's no way to compare."
"The Hong Yi Cannon can't be compared to your cannon, Grand Marshal!”
Yang Jing nodded. Wang Tianhao continued,"I've been a general of the Great Ming Empire for more than ten years, but I've never seen a firearm that is more powerful than the Hong Yi Cannon of the Divine Arms Battalion.”
"But today, I saw it."
"From a rough look, this cannon has a shooting range of seven to eight hundred meters.”
"Moreover, its power is so great that it can wipe out a thousand troops!”
As he said that, a look of fear appeared on Wang Tianhao's face.
"If you had used this cannon during the attack on the Hui Prefecture, I'm afraid that I would have died without a corpse!”
Yang Jing smiled." If I use this cannon to attack the Hui Prefecture, wouldn't that be a waste of talent? If word gets out, wouldn't people laugh at me for winning unfairly?"”
"Don't worry Lord Wang, this cannon is a big gift I prepared for the Manchu Tartars.”
"The day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony hasn't arrived yet!"
Wang Tianhao was a little excited.
He had originally thought that this cannon was a replica of the Hong Yi Cannon and that its strength was nothing special.
However, after the test, he found out that Yang Jing's cannon was so powerful that even three Hong Yi Cannons combined could not compare to it.
He felt that he could not see through Yang Jing even more now.
Who exactly was this young man who looked as gentle as jade?
Where did he get those powerful soldiers that were increasing every day?
Also, how did he create such a powerful cannon?
These questions lingered in his mind for a long time.
This young man was truly too mysterious, and his strength was too terrifying!
He couldn't help but feel glad that he had made the right choice when the Hui Prefecture was about to fall.
Yang Jing was indeed a big tree that he could rely on!
Whether it was strength or vision, he was much stronger than Li Zicheng and the others.
As far as he knew, Li Zicheng had always disdained powerful weapons like firearms.
In the end, Li Zicheng was just an ignorant bumpkin. Even if he succeeded one day, he wouldn't be able to show his face.
But Yang Jing was different. He was brave, resourceful, and knowledgeable. He had all the qualities that a ruler should have.
He was indeed a rare talent in this chaotic world!
Wang Tianhao had a vague feeling that the day he led his troops to attack the Manchu Wild Boar Skin was not far away.
The power displayed by the handguns and cannons made Yang Jing very satisfied. He couldn't wait to pull the firearms to the grasslands and fight with the Qing Tartars!
However, he had to remain calm. Before he truly sent out his troops, he still had other preparations to make!
