The air in the training ground was silent for a long time, long enough for the flying sand to subside and long enough for the gunpowder smoke to drift away with the wind.
Facts have proved that people's psychological endurance can be infinitely increased.
After the fright, the people wiped the sweat from their heads, stared at the artillery excitedly, chattered in amazement, their faces full of pride and pride.
"That was so terrifying! I thought it was a falling meteorite and almost ran away."
"Yeah, I felt the ground shaking."
"Such a powerful weapon actually belongs to our Great Qin! With such a powerful empire protecting us, what do we have to fear?"
"When I return, I will definitely spread the word and let the villagers open their eyes and see how powerful our Great Qin Empire is!"
"This trip was well worth it! I've witnessed such a heart-shaking scene in my lifetime. I'll die without regrets."
“…”
Compared with the people who were either excited, proud, or emotional, the rest of the people seemed a little silent.
It’s just that their inner dramas are more complicated than each other.
[Civil and Military Officials: Ahem, calm down. It's just a cannon. We have plenty of them in the Great Qin. It's not worth mentioning. (He almost smiled crookedly in secret.jpg.)]
Mohists: Look! I designed the barrel, I filled the cannonballs, and I installed the wheels. Mom, I've made it!
[Students at the Academy: Suggest adding artillery fire to the next military training... Wait! Forget it. (Secretly tearing up the umbrella, jpg.)]
Xiongnu and Yuezhi representatives: "People from the Central Plains, if you had this, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll just slide down and offer my territory with both hands. Fighting is so hurtful~"
Western Regions Envoy: Oh, my dear king, thousands of miles away, trust me, stop playing these little tricks and go to sleep. Otherwise, I swear, the people of the Central Plains will fire their massive cannons at us.
[Six Kingdoms Nobles: Mother, I want to go home!!! (Creeping around in terror, jpg.)]
Seeing the scene becoming increasingly chaotic, Ying Zheng frowned and ordered the soldiers to maintain order. He then signaled Meng Tian with his eyes to continue with the next exercise.
Meng Tian nodded in understanding.
Immediately, he picked up an ancient horn and blew it with all his might.
Gradually, the majestic and distant sound of the horn echoed in Shanglin Garden, and the atmosphere became solemn and dignified.
But this strange behavior left everyone confused and puzzled.
"What is General Meng doing?"
"Blowing the horn... Is it to call the troops?"
"Don't make a noise, don't make a noise, you'll know soon."
As everyone was eagerly waiting, the sound of the horn slowly stopped. A moment later, a noticeable vibration came from the ground, and it was getting closer and closer.
The people couldn't help but panic, thinking that some large wild beast was coming to attack them, but after seeing the soldiers and artillery around them, they felt inexplicably relieved.
No matter how ferocious the beast is, can it withstand a single blow?
“Boom—”
Along with the strong vibration, a sound like the roar of a wild beast came from far away and became clearer and clearer.
Finally, in the eyes of everyone's disbelief and astonishment, a mighty and majestic steel beast slowly approached.
Its armor is made of the hardest metal, completely black and shining with a cold light, like an indestructible war fortress.
The slender turret stands tall, and the black muzzle is terrifying. When the hard and thick tracks roll, bright yellow sparks splash out, and the heavy roar is like the roar of a giant beast, running rampant and shocking all directions.
Qin Empire - Xuanwu I armored tank
It can be described in just one word -
powerful.
Undoubtedly powerful.
When people face something that is incomparably powerful, they have no other reaction except shock.
Everyone looked up at the giant beast that was as big as a house and swallowed their saliva at the same time.
They stood there stiffly, their hands and feet cold, not daring to move.
If they had faced the artillery fire just now, they would still have had the courage to escape.
But in front of this terrifying steel behemoth, they had no intention of resisting at all.
This is an unparalleled dominance and deterrent force.
It is a symbol of indestructible power.
"W-What is this?!"
After a long time, a trembling exclamation broke the silence, and also asked the doubts in everyone's heart.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the heroic commander issued an order, and his voice was calmer than before, with a bit more uncontrollable excitement in it.
"Xuanwu I armored tanks, begin the exercise!"
As soon as the words fell, inside the tank, the drivers professionally operated the complex instruments, and the gunners stared intently at the sight, ready to take action at all times.
With their superb skills, the Xuanwu armored tanks can move freely on both flat ground and rugged steep slopes, and their speed is even faster than riding a horse.
Moreover, although it is called Xuanwu, it has more than just outstanding defensive capabilities.
After a thunderous cannon shot, the tremendous power caused is no less than that of artillery, and even due to its maneuverability and flexibility, the hit rate is more accurate.
Indestructible armor defense, extremely fast movement speed, adaptability to changing circumstances, powerful firepower...
It can be said to be a perfect combination of offense and defense.
Anyone present who was not a fool could imagine the overwhelming combat power of this steel behemoth, which could destroy all the enemy's defenses in an instant.
It is simply a battlefield meat grinder that terrifies the enemy.
He is the undisputed king of land warfare.
Half an hour later, the exercise ended.
The people's hearts were pounding for a long time, and they finally calmed down after they were sure that there was no threat to their lives.
