Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 35: The cannon comes out, an earth-shattering shot!
In other words, when the Tang Dynasty and Songtsen Gampo got married, these people felt that the Tang Dynasty was weak and could be bullied. In recent years, with the rise of the Turks again, they joined forces with Tibet to compress the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which made the Tubo people even more swollen.

This Zanpo came to Luoyang, claiming that she was not afraid of death. She certainly had courage, but more out of contempt, thinking that the Tang people were weak and vulnerable to the iron hoofs of the barbarians.

But today, this weapon that had never been seen before made Zanpo start to re-examine this ancient eastern country.

"The Tang Dynasty was defeated steadily in the Western Regions. Unexpectedly, the most powerful soldiers were not deployed to the front!"

"If the [-] Tang troops in the Western Region were replaced by soldiers like today, not to mention the two armies fighting each other, just the bang-dong-dong explosion would frighten our cavalry and cause them to stumble and fall!"

The strength of the cavalry lies in its high speed and the overwhelming momentum brought by unified action.

If the horses in the front row are killed or frightened by the sudden collapse of the blunderbuss, the formation of the barbarian cavalry will naturally be disrupted, thereby disrupting the barbarian offensive.

As a Tibetan, Zan Po naturally knew the horror of such a weapon that she had never seen before.

But the short-lived scene in the military parade, and the fact that he was so frightened that he peed at the time, there was no time to ask what kind of weapon it was.

Therefore, Zanpo, who knew that knowing one's enemy and one's best friend would never be in danger, stayed in Luoyang and tried every means to find out the secrets of the Tang Dynasty every day.

Of course, Yang Yanzhang would be happy if he didn't leave.

Wouldn't it be nice to wait for the cannon to come out and let this kid tremble?

In the next few days, Yang Yanzhang has been working with craftsmen to improve the cannon.

Ever since I felt the impact of the barrel length on the cannon, I have been testing it.

Three days later, a huge creature with a diameter of two feet and a length of more than five feet appeared on a high slope outside Luoyang City.

In all directions along the slope, the guards were under martial law.

Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er, Princess Taiping, Emperor Li Dan, and hundreds of civil and military officials all gathered here.

Touching the cold and thick giant at close range, Wu Zetian glanced at Yang Yanzhang subconsciously, and her heart was beating fast.

"Yang Yanzhang, what is this called?"

"Queen Mother, this thing is called artillery!"

"How far can it shoot?"

"At least five miles!"

When the officials around him heard this, they immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"Five miles? Are you kidding me? The catapult only has a range of three to five hundred steps!"

"No matter how powerful Yang Yushi is, the range can only be doubled, at best one mile! Five miles away, isn't this nonsense?"

"I can't do even one mile! This thing is much smaller than a catapult, and it may not even have the same range as a crossbow!"

Listening to the discussion among the officials, Zhou Xing, the Minister of Punishment, felt that he knew something: Oh, the generals of the Sixteenth Guards said that the range is at most one mile. It seems that Yang Yanzhang is bragging!If you don't read his book now, when will you wait?

So Zhou Xing immediately stood up and complained loudly: "The Queen Mother! Yang Yanzhang, the censor Zhongcheng, exaggerated his words to confuse the public. According to the law, he should be dismissed from office and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation and punishment!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Wu Zetian waved his hand impatiently: "Yang Yanzhang asked the emperor and all the officials to come and see him. Do you think he is tired of living? How can you find out immediately? Why are you anxious?"

Zhou Xing was reprimanded and felt puzzled.

In the past, Wu Zetian had some complaints about someone, but this prince instead tried to frame and impeach him, and then tortured him into submission. From then on, he quickly rose to the position of Minister of Justice.Yang Yanzhang repeatedly refuted Wu Zetian's face, which made Zhou Xing think that it would be easy to win over Yang Yanzhang, but to his surprise, Wu Zetian had no intention of listening to him this time.

"Is it true that the Queen Mother is attracted to Yang Yanzhang as rumored? But this makes no sense! Since she is attracted to him, why doesn't he sleep in the palace?"

Zhou Xing's not very smart mind couldn't figure out this problem.

At this time, Yang Yanzhang was also ready. After loading the huge cannonball into the barrel, he turned back and said with a smile: "Please step back a hundred steps to avoid being scared!"

Li Duozuo couldn't help laughing: "Yang Yushi underestimated us! This thing looks like a large firecracker. We have heard the movement of firecrackers, how can we be frightened by this artillery?" "

Wu Zetian also agreed: "Yang Yanzhang, hurry up, I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

"Since everyone is not going to take a hundred steps back, then we have to take at least thirty steps back! Otherwise, I won't fire!"

Wu Zetian snorted: "Nothing!"

But he still took thirty steps back obediently.

Originally, there were many soldiers around Yang Yanzhang helping to hold the cannon, but they were also repelled by him at this time.

So, he was the only one left in the place.

"Of course they don't know that although artillery is powerful, once the barrel is exploded, the person who fired it will also suffer! Today's first cannon, I have to do it myself! If it succeeds, I will get the greatest credit. If it fails, You can also avoid being impeached or being bombed to death!"

"Everyone! If you are timid, you can cover your ears!"

Yang Yanzhang shouted, lit the fuse, turned around and ran away, covering his ears as he ran.

Li Duozuo laughed loudly: "Yang Yushi covered his ears! Doesn't this prove that you are a coward..."

Before the cheerful voice could finish speaking, the cannon had already exploded!

Boom! !

After this loud noise, more than a dozen officials were blown up and fell down!
Half of the officials squatted down in fear!

Although Wu Zetian was standing, her two legs were fighting, thanks to Shangguan Wan'er's support!

The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and black smoke was still rising from the muzzle!

For a moment, there was no sound here, only the frightened birds and beasts in the distance disappeared with a roar!

After a long time, Wu Zetian finally came back to her senses. Thinking back to the loud noise of the ground breaking that day, her eyes were extremely excited!
"As expected of a divine weapon that governs the country! Yang Yanzhang did not lie to me!"

Thinking of this, Wu Zetian couldn't wait to shout: "Go and see how far this cannon can shoot!"

Without saying a word, Li Duozuo rode to see it in person. As a result, he walked for a while before arriving at the place where the shells fell.

He excitedly waved his arms at Wu Zetian, but Wu Zetian could only vaguely hear his voice, but could not hear what he said at all.

Li Duozuo then flew back on his horse, rushed back, dismounted and knelt directly in front of Wu Zetian!
"The Queen Mother! It's really a divine weapon that governs the country! It shot a full nine miles! Moreover, when it landed, several surrounding trees were shot down! A big hole was blown out of the ground!"

Wu Zetian was shocked when he heard this: "Jiuli! It is indeed an artifact of the country! Let's go, all the ministers, come with me to have a look. You must see it with your own eyes today. You must remember this day and this scene in your heart forever!" "
