Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 410 Siege Weapon
"Do it! Do it..."

Chen Yuhuan shouted loudly.

"Do it! Do it..."

All the soldiers responded in unison, raising their wine bowls and drinking down the wine in one gulp.

The welcome dinner tonight also started.

The garrison officers at Hangu Pass looked at the bonfire feast in the distance and their mouths watered with greed.

Chen Lin looked at the dinner party in the distance, and then he remembered, when his daughter came over, why didn't she stay for a meal?

However, how on earth was Lu Hao going to break through the city gate?

With the Lu Jiajun's excellent new weapons, once the city gate is breached, it will be even harder than climbing to the sky to defend it.

Therefore, Chen Lin is planning how to hold on to this strong iron door.

This large iron door is made of steel and is the strongest steel smelting technology in the empire. It is half a meter thick and weighs more than ten tons. It needs to be pulled by a winch to open it.

This iron door is not afraid of fire or flooding. It can be said that it is invulnerable to water and fire.

If you want to use a battering ram or a fire dragon cone to break open this door, it will undoubtedly be like hitting a stone with an egg.

So what kind of medicine does this guy Lu Hao sell in his gourd?
To be honest, this question has been lingering in Chen Yuhuan's mind.

Lu Hao, a unique talent in the Qianyuan Continent, looked confident. He must have a way to break through the city gate of Hangu Pass.

But what will this brat do?

"Prime Minister, I am a little curious. What means will you use to break through the city gate of Hangu Pass?"

Chen Yuhuan asked.

"This issue will be kept secret for the time being, otherwise it will not work when the time comes."

Lu Hao smiled and said perfunctorily.

"You want to hide this even from me?"

Chen Yuhuan was very curious.

"Queen, you will see the true method soon, so there is no need to rush."

Lu Hao never let go.

"Sister Queen, the prime minister likes to play riddles the most. He only reveals them at the last minute, but it's too bad!"

Nangong Ruoxue came over and said with a smile.

"If your Majesty wants to know, come and listen to the lesson on the true nature tomorrow."

Lu Hao finally leaked a little bit.

"Okay, I would like to see what kind of lesson the Prime Minister is teaching?"

Chen Yuhuan pursed his lips and smiled.

"I'm going to listen to the Prime Minister's lecture tomorrow too."

Nangong Ruoxue held the queen's arm, obviously wanting to join in the fun.

"I also need to go."

Tantai Xiyao also came to join in the fun.

……

the next day.

After a simple breakfast, the Queen and the two beauties walked towards Lu Hao's tent.

At this time, Lu Hao had a large smooth stone slab in front of him, which was also a blackboard he had asked to find temporarily.

In front of the camp, about a hundred people had gathered, sitting densely on the ground, preparing to listen to Lu Hao's lecture.

"Queen, are you really here?"

Lu Hao quickly stepped forward.

"Meet the Empress!"

All the soldiers immediately stood up and saluted.

"Soldiers, there is no need to be polite! I am a student today and am here to listen to the Prime Minister's lecture."

Chen Yuhuan said loudly.

Lu Hao quickly arranged for the queen and the two beauties to sit on the left side of the "blackboard" so as not to block the soldiers behind them from listening to the class.

"Now that the empress is here, I will start teaching."

Lu Hao said loudly: "Someone, bring out the cannon."

Several soldiers carried out a dark cannon barrel and placed it on the right side of the "blackboard".

"Soldiers, this dark thing is called a cannon, and it is also our weapon for siege. Now I will start to explain the principle of the cannon..." "The principle of the cannon is very simple, and it is the same as our rifle. , using the impact force generated by the burning of gunpowder to forcefully push out the shells, which can hit the enemy from a long distance..."

"The attack route of the artillery shell is a parabola. What is a parabola? It is a semi-arc line..."

"The attack distance of the cannonball is determined by the elevation angle of the cannon. For example, when the muzzle is lower, the range is shorter, and when the elevation angle is larger, the range is longer..."

Lu Hao explained loudly while drawing pictures.

Chen Yuhuan and others had never seen a cannon and did not know the power of such a cannon, but they understood a little bit what Lu Hao said.

However, the deeper they got to know Lu Hao, the more they felt that this boy was not simple.

How did Lu Hao come up with these weird things?
"The truth I have told you so much is to let you become gunners in the future and control these cannonballs for use in siege battles."

"However, now we do not have extra artillery shells for live-fire training, so you will be directly commanded by the Prime Minister..."

Lu Hao revealed his ultimate goal.

"Master Prime Minister, can this kind of cannon really be able to attack a city?"

Chen Yuhuan asked.

"Of course, when the time comes, I'll let you see the power of these cannons, and I'm sure the queen will be scared silly."

Lu Hao joked with a smile.

"The Prime Minister likes to play tricks and make alarmist remarks. Don't listen to him, Madam."

Tantai Xiyao pursed her lips and snickered.

"I don't think the prime minister is being alarmist, but I look forward to seeing the power of this cannon."

Nangong Ruoxue's eyes were full of color.

"Don't worry, you will see me."

Lu Hao smiled mysteriously.

The only thing left to wait now is the shells and explosive packs.

……

until noon the next day.

Situ Tianyin finally arrived with a large amount of strategic materials.

In addition to [-] rounds of artillery shells, this time a large number of explosive packets were also brought.

These explosive packs weigh more than a ton, but it is unrealistic to blow through a large iron door.

However, the large iron gate has a hub rotating shaft. As long as the rotating shaft is blown off, the large iron gate will naturally collapse.

As for how to arrange the explosive packs and where to place them, Lu Hao also began to train a professional demolition team.

"General of the auxiliary country, thank you for your hard work!"

Lu Hao smiled and greeted him.

"Fortunately, I finally lived up to my command! I barely completed the Prime Minister's mission."

Situ Tianyin bowed slightly and saluted.

"Okay, no need to be polite, just take me to see you."

Lu Hao couldn't wait.

"Prime Minister, you are in a hurry. The shells and explosives are packed in the carriage behind."

Situ Tianyin pointed to the carriage team behind.

Lu Hao walked towards the carriage, where the logistics team was unloading boxes of shells from the carriage.

Bang!
The box was opened, and inside were round cannonballs with long leads.

Although he didn't know how powerful they were, Lu Hao was very satisfied just by looking at the workmanship of these shells.

"Master Prime Minister, would you like to test your power?"

Situ Tianyin walked over slowly and asked with a smile.

"The test is fine, but we need to find a more hidden place to avoid being known by the enemy. Then we won't be able to achieve the surprise effect."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"In that case, let's go with the two of us and bring a cannon and a box of shells."

Situ Tianyin suggested.

"Okay, let's go to the mountains north of Hangu Pass..."

Lu Hao's eyes turned to the north of Hangu Pass.

There are endless mountains, which have become the western barrier of the Qianzhong Great Plains. Deep in the mountains, it is a good place to test artillery shells.
