At the stall where Zhang Liang sent troops to feint to attack Anshi City, Suning suddenly received a top-secret letter from Li Ermaxi from Chang'an City, saying that only Suning could read it, and no one else could read it, and Suning could only reveal the news to Zhang Shigui and Zhang Liang, and no one else should say it.

Suning was very puzzled, what kind of news is this, it is so mysterious, only the top three generals can know, open the letter and see, it is two letters, one is Li Erma's letter, and the other is Li Tai's, seeing this, Suning's heart beat violently, according to patience, first opened Li Erma's letter, Li Erma's letter did not surprise Suning's expectations, it was a reward and expectation.

Commended Suning for the success of the raid under extremely dangerous circumstances, and captured the king of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, and now this round of offensive of the Tang Dynasty has been completely successful, and the Western Turkic battlefield has won a complete victory, basically sweeping away the resistance of the Western Turks, and the Great Khan of the Western Turks, Ashina Ni, was captured alive and entered Beijing; Although there were some small twists and turns in the battlefield of Xue Yantuo, but in the end he also won a complete victory, Xue Yantuo Great Khan Yinan was the second to be caught, he ran away during the first raid, his son was a substitute for the ghost, and the second time was captured alive by Cheng Yanjin himself.

Now Suning has also made great contributions on the battlefield of Liaodong Road, successfully captured Gao Jianwu and his family alive, great achievements, the three battlefields of Datang won a huge victory at the same time, and captured the kings of three countries alive at the same time, it is simply an unprecedented record, enough to shine in the annals of history, and leave a name for the ages. At the same time, the statement that fighting on two fronts is a taboo for soldiers was also successfully ignored by Datang, and Datang won all three battlefields.

Moreover, Suning also united the navy to capture one-third of Goguryeo's territory Liaodong Peninsula, cutting off Goguryeo's arm, making the Tang Dynasty form a two-sided encirclement of Goguryeo, laying a solid foundation for the future army to dispatch, which is really too much more than he requires, compared to the brilliant victory on the grassland, the Tang Liaodong battlefield, which only invested 50,000 soldiers and horses, is more worthy of praise, more worthy of praise, and when the army completely defeats Goguryeo. Li Er's majesty will personally go out of the city to meet the triumphant army.

Then there are some expectations and expectations. The battle has come to this point, and you have done your best, whether it is the Mabu army or the navy, you have done your best, and you are exhausted. You can take a break. It is enough to preserve the Liaodong Peninsula. Qin Qiong's side also made great contributions, not only recovering the lost territory in Yingzhou, but also exterminating the Khitan tribe that was rebellious and abusive. It has also made great contributions, this time, the march of Liaodong Road will be the first merit, and then as long as the results are kept, there is no need to march again.

As for the Liaodong Peninsula development outline proposed by Suning, it has been handed over to the ministers for consultation, and a complete opinion can be put forward in a few days, and then the officials are already in the process of selection, and they can be sent in a few days; The requirements for reinforcements will definitely be satisfied, because the Tang Dynasty's war against Goguryeo will soon be carried out from the Liaodong Peninsula in one aspect, and Suning will still be the commander at that time, or with Qin Qiong as the commander and Suning as the deputy commander, and march at the same time, and attack Goguryeo on both sides and destroy it in one fell swoop.

Then he specially asked him to pay attention to Li Tai's letter, it doesn't matter if his letter is seen, but Li Tai's letter will be burned after reading, and he can only keep it in his heart, if there is any request, he can send it through the top secret channel of Guò Blood Droplets, as for Zhang Liang and Zhang Shigui, they can only be informed verbally, and the rest of the people are not allowed to be informed.

Suning had a premonition of what Li Ermajesty and Li Tai were going to say, opened Li Tai's letter, and saw the slightly wrong handwriting, there were many small tilts, and at first glance it was a letter written by a trembling hand, and after reading it for a while, Suning slammed his fist on the table, and finally succeeded!

That's right, it finally succeeded, on the third day of the fifth month of the tenth year of the Tang Zhenguan, the first artillery in the history of the world that could be used on combat occasions was finally successfully tested, presided over by Li Tai himself, in a valley far away from Chang'an City, surrounded by the Xuanjia Army firmly guarded, even the ghost did not dare to approach Cheng Dù, the first artillery presided over the production and research of the Ministry of Industry, the first artillery that solved the internal spiral pattern was installed with special large wheels, and the artillery that could be dragged by two war horses stepped onto the stage of history.

The five disciples of the Mo family gathered around the artillery, wiped the cannon body, filled the gunpowder, loaded the solid bullets, prepared the lead, and aimed at the wall as the target, which was mixed with earth and stone, and the hard Cheng dù was enough to reach eighty percent of the city wall of Chang'an City, and the thick Cheng dù was half of the city wall of Chang'an City, after the preparation, Li Tai personally ordered the ignition, and as the fire line burned out little by little, the children of the Mo family had already prepared cotton and stuffed it into their ears, and then blocked their ears with their hands.

Although some of the surrounding Xuanjia soldiers also received orders, most of the Xuanjia soldiers looked down on these Mo family children, and felt that it was really undignified for a big man to engage in this thing, if it weren't for Li Tai's strict order, they wouldn't have chosen to stuff cotton into their ears at all, but since King Tai ordered it like this, they just did it, but whether it really did it or not, there is nothing to say, so it's just like that.

Two seconds before the earth-shattering sound sounded, a war horse was frightened for some reason, and suddenly rushed to the position of the artillery, and after 0.5 seconds, two soldiers of the Xuanjia Army chased after it regardless of a qiē, and after 0.5 seconds, a child of the Mo family saw this scene, raised his spear and rushed to the rear of the artillery to stop this daring war horse, and vowed to give it a little color.

Then, the cannon was fired, and after the earth-shattering loud noise, in addition to the amazing scene, there were some other ingredients, such as the war horse because of the relative proximity, was shocked to death by the huge sound of the artillery, fell to the ground and kept convulsing, bleeding from the seven orifices, and died of exhaustion after a neigh, and the two chasing Xuanjia soldiers were shocked and fainted by the huge sound because the cotton was not stuffed into their ears, and the entire cranial cavity was a sound of tinnitus, unconscious.

And the heroic Mo family disciple blamed the huge recoil of the artillery and the barrel backrush hit the butt directly, after a miserable scream. This heroic son of the Mo family was knocked away, and it is estimated that he will not have a few months of cultivation, and his butt will not be usable, but because the scene after the artillery test firing is too amazing, everyone's attention is focused on the solid wall.

It can be said that the wall was destroyed, destroyed, completely out of shape, already in ruins, and the thick smoke of gunpowder carried a spectacular scene. The whole earth seemed to tremble. The cannon that created this qiē was immediately regarded as a god by everyone, Li Tai's eyes were dull and muttered to himself, "Divine machine, divine machine", after Li Ermajesty Xià watched the power of the cannon with his own eyes, he also agreed with Li Tai's comment of "divine machine".

Almost immediately. Li Er's majesty immediately ordered the Ministry of Industry to work overtime to make artillery. Ordered to select some strong and strong soldiers from the newly recruited standing army for training. Strive to form an artillery team in the shortest possible time, and this artillery team will be named the Shenji Battalion, which will be a standing combat army. It is slightly different from the general standing army responsible for garrisoning and garrisoning the border.

Sure enough, it was like this, Suning was really surprised, the artillery was really made out, and it really had the effect of siege, and according to Li Tai's description, the longest range of this artillery was 1,800 steps, that is, about 3,000 meters, far beyond his initial expectations, that was natural, because Suning had added a spiral pattern to the barrel earlier, which was conducive to improving accuracy and range.

Although three thousand meters is not too far, but it is already the farthest of all the long-range attack weapons currently occupied by Datang, because it is an iron product, it is harder and more durable than wooden weapons in innate conditions, so it is natural that the range is more excellent, it is said that after the power of this artillery is revealed, it has also caused a great impact on the children of the Mo family, because the Mo family is the ancestor of playing with wood, but after the prelude to the era of thermal weapons was opened, after watching them create a weapon that surpassed the ancestors, Their feelings are very mixed.

And not to mention the range, the power is really amazing, an iron bullet can really destroy an earthen wall with half the thickness and eight points of strength of the wall of Chang'an City, leaving no room for anything, this is just a cannon, what if it is a hundred? What about a thousand doors? What about 10,000 doors?

No wonder it will be named the god machine in another time and space, in today's time, it is still a god machine, the god machine is the god machine, far beyond the imagination of the people of this era, the pattern of this era will change because of this artillery, and the whole era will be changed because of this loud noise.

A cannon that blasts out a new future.

In the letter, Li Tai not only expressed his extreme excitement, but also asked himself about the flowering shells, and he remembered that he proposed two kinds of shells, solid shells and flowering shells, one for the city walls and buildings, and the other for people and the army.

Now the solid bullet test is successful, although it is powerful and has been recognized by everyone, but it can only be used on the city wall, if the flowering bomb test is successful, then it can be imagined, a shell explodes in the crowd, and then the enemy is blown up to the flesh and blood, and collapses on the spot, the Tang army can defeat the enemy army without spending too much effort, and the use of artillery is not only to siege the city, but also to directly deal with the army.

In this regard, Suning immediately put pen to paper and wrote his opinion on the flowering bullet, he used to think that the Tang Dynasty would succeed in manufacturing artillery at least in Zhenguan for fifteen years, but the result was a success five years ahead of schedule, not only the success of the Ministry of Industry, but also Li Tai's success in gunpowder research and production, Suning decided to tell Li Tai everything he knew about the flowering bullet, let him study it, and then make the flowering bullet, then the artillery will not only be a strengthened version of the trebuchet, but also a super crossbow arrow!

You can imagine that the two armies are facing each other, the other side is a traditional infantry formation, the cavalry is arrayed, and the crossbowmen are waiting for each other, while their own side is slowly pushing out hundreds of artillery, an order, hundreds of loud noises, artillery volleys, the opponent's unprepared infantry and horse army are hit by the sudden artillery and have no power to fight back, almost immediately will be knocked out, never imagined that the storage of artillery, the blow to this gunpowder weapon will collapse immediately.

The huge sound will confuse the army, will make the horses frightened, scatter and flee uncontrollably, and then trample on each other, the enemy army is already doomed to defeat before the battle, and then the overwhelming rain of arrows and the blow of the incendiary canister will directly completely crush the enemy army, at this time the army rushes out and sweeps the tail, only need to slaughter and capture the prisoners, this era, this era of the seventh century AD, no country has mastered gunpowder weapons earlier than the Tang Dynasty of China!

Or such a full-fledged gunpowder weapon! Suning dares to guarantee that this is the first time that human beings have used thermal weapons to fight, the first time they have used artillery to fight, and they have used flowering shells instead of just solid bullets in such an era to directly inflict large-scale blows on the enemy army!

What would that look like?! (To be continued......)
