Chapter 809: The Power of Artillery

The use and power of artillery cannons were certainly not practiced in spy camps. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Li Shimin was excited and blurted out, but then he reacted again. Therefore, the time was set, and the original firearms test site was strengthened and expanded in a few days according to the needs of the test-firing artillery, and the power of the artillery was to be seen.

When it came to the set day, early in the morning, Li Shimin couldn't hold back, and he didn't even do the morning exercise that never stopped regardless of the rain, rain and snow, and ran over directly with the guards.

After watching the soldiers check the details of the artillery for about half an hour, I saw Li Jing and Duan Zhixuan coming over together.

"Your Majesty?" When the two arrived at the place, they found that the emperor had already arrived, so they hurriedly dismounted, went to the front to salute, and said: "The minister is late, and please ask Your Majesty to surrender!" ā€

"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Shimin waved his hand, and seemed to be in a good mood: "It's me who came too early." ā€

It's very strange, even Li Shimin himself thinks it's very strange. Although it was the first time to watch the test firing of the artillery, he didn't seem to be worried at all about failure and accidents. Because I thought that it was something that Xia Hongsheng had been bored for more than half a year to make, I felt that there must be no problem. It's just that I instinctively think that it will be successful, and it must be fine.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin himself shook his head and smiled, and said to the two of them: "I have been waiting for this object for more than half a year, and today I can finally see it, so I am happy in my heart, but in the morning, I even forgot about the morning exercise!" Hahahaha......"

"Your Majesty, dare to ask what this is?" The two of them had already seen the artillery being debugged by the soldiers, and couldn't help but wonder: "It looks so strange. ā€

Li Shimin smiled mysteriously, but he sold it, and only said to the two: "The two generals don't ask first, when everyone is ready, I will talk about this thing again!" ā€

The two rare emperors were so happy, and it was not only more novel.

Soon, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao, Li Daozong and other famous generals in the army all came on horseback, and when they arrived at the place, they were all surprised to see that the emperor had arrived, and they came to ask for guilt, and they were all surprised that the emperor had a good heart today.

"Your Majesty, what the hell is this? Such a thick and long big iron pipe, with two wheels, is it not something that hits the city gate? Cheng Yanjin shouted: "But if you hit the city gate with this thing, the front is so bald and hollow, can you hit the door?" It's a hurry. Please also ask Your Majesty to be gracious, hurry up and talk about it, and ask the ministers to open their eyes too! ā€

Cheng Yanjin has always been like this, and Li Shimin will not really feel that this loyal courtier is disrespectful. scolded "Cheng Lao Pifu" with a smile, and then said to the novel group of famous generals of the Tang Dynasty: "Hehe, I called you here today to see the power of this thing." This object is a new firearm, which was made by Xia Hongsheng's kid who hid in the Ryukyus and led the master of the military aircraft workshop for more than half a year. ā€

"Firearms?" Wei Chigong looked at the thing: "This is dark and black, or hollow, could it be that it is going to be filled with gunpowder and pushed under the city gate and exploded?" ā€

Li Shimin smiled mysteriously and said, "Non-yes, non-yes!" Jingde guessed wrong. This thing is called artillery. It's powerful. ā€

Seeing that Li Shimin stopped again, everyone was anxious to hear it, but only Cheng bit Jin and shouted: "Oh, Your Majesty! You're in a hurry! Tell Wechen quickly! ā€

Li Shimin laughed, very satisfied with Cheng Biting Jin's impatient appearance, nodded, and said: "Hehe, Xia Hongsheng told me that the power of this thing is better than the thunder, and it can shoot hundreds of catties of gunpowder projectiles out ten miles away, and within ten miles, they are all rotten, regardless of the city and military formations, they are all razed to the ground, and there is no piece of armor left!" ā€

"What?!" Cheng Yanjin's eyes widened, and he exaggeratedly plucked his ears with his fingers, and asked in surprise: "Is this...... Hundreds of pounds of things to shoot out ten miles? They are all rotten, regardless of the city and military formations, they are all razed to the ground, and there is no piece of armor left...... Your Majesty, Xia Hongsheng, that stinky boy, likes to say things that others have never heard of to show off himself, I'm afraid he coaxed His Majesty to come again! ā€

Li Shimin was choked by this open-mouthed old man, and suddenly had a black line on his face, glared at Cheng Yanjin viciously, and saw that everyone else also had a look of suspicion that they had heard it wrong, so he said: "I also have some questions, so I called you to come here today to watch these sailors and soldiers drill artillery and see how it goes." ā€

With that, Li Shimin turned his head and nodded to Duan Zhan.

Duan Zan then stepped forward and said something to the soldiers, and then came over and distributed earplugs and binoculars to everyone.

Everyone is a person who has seen firearms, and they know that the sound is like thunder, and they have suffered losses, so they are no longer in power.

Seeing that everyone had taken the earplugs, he said: "Your Majesty, generals, the city wall in the distance was built when the power of the medicine pack was first tested, and it has been reinforced with steel frames in the back in the past few days. Before, the gambling wall was originally a reinforced concrete city wall made of the city wall of Chang'an City, but now it is reinforced with steel bars, which is stronger and stronger than the Chang'an city wall. ā€

After listening to Duan Zhan's words, everyone took the telescope to look over, and through the telescope, they saw the stone wall in the distance, which was indeed stronger as Duan Zhan said.

"Your Majesty, the generals retreat into the trenches and bring earplugs!" Duan Zan saluted and said.

They all stepped back a lot, went down into the trenches, and then put on their earplugs, and took binoculars to look at the soldiers, and then at the distant walls.

Duan Zan looked at the people in the trenches, then took a deep breath and waved the command flag in his hand downward.

Rumble!!!

There was an earth-shattering sound, as if a thunderbolt had exploded on the side of the ear, and it seemed to hit the door of the heart directly, and the ear instantly had the illusion of temporarily losing hearing, and after the gunpowder was fully burned, the ground smoke immediately erupted from the barrel, like a thick white mist, and the earth was shaken by this strong force.

For a time, the earth shook like an earthquake.

Half a blink of an eye later, before Li Shimin and the generals could recover from the loud noise and the huge earthquake just now, they saw a sudden uproar and dust rise from a place far away, covering the sky and the sun, as if even the sky was darkened!

Everyone was shocked, and immediately picked up the telescope in their hands to look at the place full of dust, but after seeing that the dust gradually settled, the original section of the city wall there was nowhere to be found at the moment, and only rubble was left everywhere!

Everyone was stunned and moved their mouths, but they couldn't make a sound. For a while, I was shocked and didn't know what to say. (To be continued.) )
