All the apprentices were exceptionally skilled.

They quickly loaded the shells.

Before all the cannons were loaded with shells, they had already aimed at the distant woods.

"Release..." Song Yingxing waved his hand and roared at the same time.

The booming sound of cannons filled the air.

The entire earth was shaking.

These elite Tiger Warriors were taken aback.

They thought it was thunder.

The person covered their ears.

Some people's legs went weak from the sound of the cannon fire.

They looked at the woods in the distance.

The shells whistled away.

Some shells hit the snow and bounced into the air, flying towards the woods.

Some shells flew directly into the woods.

The immense force of the shell snapped the trees at the edge of the forest in half.

After firing their cannons, the artillerymen quickly reloaded.

They fired 20 shells in a single minute.

These dozen or so cannons fired nearly 300 shells.

One minute later.

The cannon fire stopped.

Wisps of smoke rose from the muzzle of the cannon.

Smoke billowed from the distant woods.

At least several hundred trees were hit and broken in half.

The woods were in complete disarray.

The Tiger Legion and Kunlun slave soldiers who were just discussing this were all stunned.

Many people stood there stunned, their eyes wide open like bull's balls, their mouths agape.

"Warriors, go and see!" Li Jing ran off at breakneck speed.

The Tiger Warriors and Kunlun slave soldiers followed closely behind.

They covered the distance of over 1,000 meters in just over three minutes.

When they arrived at the edge of the woods, they were all shocked.

The bullet just now pierced through a tree as thick as a bowl.

But these shells not only snapped trees as thick as bowls in half, but also created huge holes in numbers that only one person could barely count.

Li Jing: "These weapons are really too powerful. If they hit a person, who could withstand it?"

Xiang Yu: "I carry these Napoleonic cannons on my shoulders, one on each shoulder. That's when firing them is really exhilarating."

Jiang Tian shook his head: "Xiang Yu, the Napoleonic cannons you and Li Yuanba were carrying are different from this kind of cannon."

This type of artillery uses a breech-loading mechanism.

Jiang Tian turned around and glanced at Song Yingxing: "If Song Yingxing wants the cannon to fire farther and more accurately, he can process some threads inside the cannon barrel."

"At the same time, make the caliber of the shell a little larger than the inner diameter of the cannon barrel."

Upon hearing this, Song Yingxing was puzzled: "My lord, if the caliber of this cannonball is even slightly thicker than the cannon barrel, will the cannonball still be fired?"

"This is precisely the purpose of the threads inside the gun barrel; these threads can compress the projectile into a rapid rotation."

Jiang Tian took a twig and started drawing in the snow.

Song Yingxing was incredibly intelligent.

As soon as Jiang Tian finished drawing, Song Yingxing understood.

"My lord, this is absolutely a good idea."

"If threads are engraved inside the cannon barrel, the projectile can be forced to rotate rapidly."

This results in more accurate shells with a longer range. The destructive power will also be greater.

"That's right. Muskets can be modified like that too."

"I estimate that after this modification, both the range and accuracy will be greatly improved."

Upon hearing this, Song Yingxing felt enlightened and his understanding was suddenly clear.

"Rest assured, my lord, I will do as you ask."

The Tiger Legion and the Kunlun slave soldiers were fascinated by these cannons and muskets.

They discussed the muskets and cannons incessantly.

Li Jing was greatly amazed.

Even without these muskets and cannons.

Li Jing's 50,000 elite troops and 10,000 Kunlun slave soldiers were enough to wipe out the Xianbei.

However, the losses will be slightly greater.

Now we have these muskets and cannons.

This will make things relatively simple, or even super simple.

Li Jing walked up to Jiang Tian and said, "How many of these muskets and cannons can you give us? If we have 20 of these cannons, we will be invincible."

If we could have 100 of these muskets, no one could stand against us.

Jiang Tian laughed upon hearing this: "Song Yingxing, you answer General Li's question: how many muskets and cannons can you provide them within a month?"

"5,000 muskets and 500 cannons."

"No rush, no rush." ​​Jiang Tian looked at the sky.

Thick clouds covered the sky.

Although the snow has stopped now.

Jiang Tian estimated that it wouldn't be long before another heavy snowfall would occur.

It seems that a major snow disaster is destined to strike northern Xinjiang today.

If things continue like this...

It's not impossible for the snow to be waist-deep.

Moreover, Jiang Tian felt that this year was much colder than in previous years.

“Equip each of their soldiers with a musket and one cannon for every 100 men.”

"My lord, that would take several months. But rest assured, as long as we do our best, we should be able to complete the equipment within three months."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing was stunned into silence.

He was able to equip each of his 50,000 Huben troops and Ivan Kunlun slave soldiers with a musket.

One cannon was provided for every 100 men.

Li Jing couldn't imagine how terrifying his army's combat capabilities would become with so many muskets and cannons.

"Thank you, my lord," Li Jing said respectfully, cupping his hands in greeting.
