In fact, there was no need for Wei Chigong to shout, everyone had already seen the broken body of the sheep all over the ground, as well as the broken organs everywhere.

However, everyone was taken aback.

There must be at least twenty or thirty sheep in the flock, and if an iron lump goes down, it shakes the mountains so loudly that they all break!

If this were to be done on the battlefield......

Li Shimin looked at the black iron ball in Xia Hongsheng's hand with dazedness, excitement, horror, incredulity, and all kinds of mixed moods.

"Your Majesty, this is what Weichen gave to Your Majesty." Xia Hongsheng took out a cloth bag, poured out a piece of black medicine from it, and said to Li Shimin: "This kind of thing is called gunpowder, and it is this kind of powder on weekdays, once it encounters fire, it will immediately burn very violently, and it will be used in different ways, which is a firearm." What was just demonstrated was that this gunpowder was filled into an iron ball made of iron, and then the gunpowder inside the iron ball was ignited through a lead. The gunpowder burned violently in the iron ball, and the iron ball was opened, and the iron ball, as well as the sharp small pieces of iron mixed with the iron ball, were scattered and blown away, injuring the living creatures around it. ”

"This, this powdery thing...... Can it be so powerful? Li Shimin looked down at the black powder in Xia Hongsheng's hand, still unable to believe it.

"Not bad." Xia Hongsheng nodded, and then took out a bundle of bombs from the side—it was a cylinder filled with explosives, made into a cylinder of bombs, and then tied together in groups of six, and twisted the leads into a strand—and said to Li Shimin and the others: "This is also a bomb made of gunpowder, and the power is much greater than that of Fang Cai." It is not only used in the army, which can blow up the city wall and blow up the city gate, but also can be used for the people, which can open mountains and take stones and blow up rivers...... It is extremely versatile. Please cover up for Your Majesty. ”

Li Shimin's eyes flashed with excitement, his throat hooked, licked his dry lips, and nodded vigorously.

"Your Majesty, Ladies and Gentlemen, please look over there." Xia Hongsheng pointed to the other end of the venue and said, "Everyone, please look at the wall there, that wall is built according to the scale of our Chang'an City's current city wall. Later, there will be Datang Blade personnel who will put this bomb into the trebuchet, ignite the fuse, and throw it under the wall through the trebuchet. ”

"Chang'an city wall?" Everyone looked towards the place Xia Hongsheng pointed, and they had seen the wall earlier, but they didn't pay attention to its scale.

"Wait a minute!" Li Tao wrinkled his brows and said, "Lead the horse, wait for me to take a look!" ”

So saying, he climbed out of the trench and rode towards the wall. After a while, I saw him rush back and said, "Your Majesty, that wall is really strong, just like the wall of Chang'an City. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Yes, that wall is also made of reinforced concrete and concrete, which is built with reference to the wall of Chang'an City." Because, now in this world, I am afraid that there is no more solid city wall than the Chang'an city wall. ”

Li Tao went down to the trench again, and everyone honestly put on earplugs this time.

Xia Hongsheng raised the flag and waved it again, only to see a smaller trebuchet being pushed over. A member of the Datang Blade team put the bomb away, then took out the fire fold and ignited the fuse.

The next moment, another member of the Tang Blade activated the trebuchet and threw the bomb away.

The bomb drew a parabola in the air, and landed firmly at the base of the wall.

"Boom!"

For example, there was a loud muffled sound that was even more violent, and the mountains shook more violently, and a cloud of dust was shaken down, and the dust was even more dusty in the distance. Countless broken masonry rose into the air, fell one after another, and flew far away, only to hear the clatter above the head, and it exploded all the way to this side!

Li Shimin pulled off the earbuds and shouted, "Quick! I'm going to see for myself! ”

Before Xia Hongsheng had time to stop him, he had already turned over from the trench in disregard of the dust on his body and the noise outside.

Damn, can you walk the ladder!

Xia Hongsheng shouted in his heart, and hurriedly climbed the ladder up.

Naturally, everyone hurried out, and Li Shimin quickly waved his arms to let people lead the horse over. The horses were led far away, otherwise they would have been frightened.

A palace guard pulled a horse and ran over quickly, Li Shimin couldn't wait, so he simply ran away and ran towards the dust.

When everyone saw it, they had no choice but to run away and run over.

By the time everyone ran to the front, the dust had already blown away.

Li Shimin tilted his head and stared blankly at the wall in front of him, which had become a broken wall and a pile of broken stones, but there was an indescribable feeling on his face.

"My God! Such a strong section of the city wall, all of a sudden, is gone?! Qin Shubao let out an exclamation, and everyone also looked at the debris of the wall.

It was still the eldest grandson Wuji's quick reaction, and he immediately bowed down and said to Li Shimin: "I wish Your Majesty this artifact, in the future in this world, I am afraid that there will be no more walls that my Tang Dynasty cannot break!" ”

Only then did everyone react, and they all hurriedly bowed down and congratulated Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at the ruins in front of him, nodded slowly, and did not have the ecstasy of such a powerful weapon on his face, but instead had a lonely look, a little lost.

The master is lonely! Without an opponent, it is also a very lonely thing.

"More than that, Your Majesty." Xia Hongsheng added to him next to him: "This thing can not only be used on the battlefield. On weekdays, for example, quarrying depends on the hammer and hammer of the chisel, but with this thing, you just have to bury the bomb, connect the lead long enough, and bang it, and crack the rock. To build a road, you can blast through boulders and try to make the road as straight as possible. Mining ......"

Xia Hongsheng said a bunch of values for civilian use, and Li Shimin's eyes became brighter and brighter when he heard it.

“…… The birth and application of gunpowder was of epoch-making significance, turning the era of cold weapons into ...... Well, in short, Your Majesty, gunpowder is used in the military, and it can make a wide variety of firearms for different purposes. It is used for people's livelihood, and it also greatly facilitates the development of various mining and other undertakings. Xia Hongsheng listed a large number of gunpowder's military and civilian roles, and then said to Li Shimin: "Therefore, the minister suggested that the practice of gunpowder and all kinds of firearms should be immediately included in the highest-level secrets of the Tang Dynasty. Such a powerful thing, until we Datang have a more powerful substitute than this gunpowder, we must not let any country, organization, or individual other than Datang get this thing!
