Thirty mortars, although it is a little smaller than the general cannon of later generations, but this is still a cannon, and the power that bursts out together is not something that ordinary people can imagine, thirty black dots are sprayed out of the smoke at a rapid speed in the roar, and after a few breaths, the people who have not come back to their senses are suddenly startled by the smoke raised by the continuous explosion of the city wall built more than a thousand steps away.

In order to cause them an extremely strong shock effect, under the dance of the Lingqi, they set off again and sent again. Three shells were fired from each mortar, and the originally tall city wall more than a thousand paces away was completely covered by the dust that had stirred up. I nodded with satisfaction, raised the red flag, and made them stop firing, thirty mortars fired a total of ninety medicine packs, and now I can finally blow it down, right?

Turning back proudly, the plot on the high platform startled me, Uncle Li and the others were all at a loss, and they were digging their ears there, and Uncle Cheng laughed and scolded loudly: "Damn, what the hell, it's louder than that thunder, and the old Cheng's ears are buzzing." ”

Uncle Li Ji on the side had a pale face, and he didn't know what he was talking about, so he definitely didn't have anything to say. I ran up to the high platform: "Your Majesty! Uncle Li looked at me and tilted his head to listen: "Be louder, the old man is buzzing in his ears now." ”

I helplessly raised my throat and howled in Uncle Li's ear: "Your Majesty, look over there!" I raised my hand and pointed into the distance.

On the other side, the place that should have been the city wall has sunk a large piece, and the female wall above is long gone. Uncle Li gasped and slapped his thigh excitedly: "Wei Chi leads the horse!" I didn't care about maintaining my image, so I picked up the placket and stepped off the high platform, took the reins handed over by Yu Chi Baolin, and galloped forward.

In a short time, all the military generals and officials of the Ministry of Engineering who had come to observe the effects of the new weapon had already stood in front of the ruined wall, which was about ten feet long, and after being bombarded by thirty mortars, about one-third of the wall had collapsed, and the remaining walls could be clearly cracked.

"Amazing, this artillery battle is more powerful than the thunder." Uncle Cheng reached out and picked up a large piece of brick that had broken from the wall, and couldn't help but gasp. "If it falls on a person, I'm afraid that even the armor won't be able to stop such an explosion, right?" Uncle Li Ji gritted his teeth and sighed in surprise with his cheeks puffed.

---------------------------------------------------- Uncle Li Jing nodded and said: "It's really too unexpected for the old man, with this thing to attack the city, the world, I'm afraid there is no place to stop my Tang Dynasty." However, if the enemy has thousands of troops and horses, as long as there is this thing to help, I am afraid that it will be ......."

Uncle Li just nodded vigorously there, touched the east, looked around, and then picked up a piece of broken iron that burst out of the shell and looked at it carefully for a while, raised his head, it seems that some, how to say it, Uncle Li's expression is a little like a lonely defeat, probably because he understands that after the appearance of this long-range large-scale killing weapon, no one in the world is the opponent of Datang, which makes him feel a sense of loss, which I can understand Uncle Li's mood, not because of my experience. But if you look at more martial arts books, you can understand this truth.

"Good, good! Good! With this thing, any city, in the eyes of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, will be like that local chicken and tile dog! Uncle Li quickly got rid of that confused mood, lifted his spirits, and laughed loudly. Uncle Li laughed, they all laughed, I don't have anything to be happy about, mortars, pediatrics, if I carry an atomic bomb from the next generation, I'm afraid Uncle Li will have to sleep and hold it.

"Virtuous son-in-law, what is the name of such an object?" Uncle Li turned around and patted me on the shoulder very kindly, and his hand was very heavy, it seemed that Uncle Li's blind excitement had not passed, and when I heard Uncle Li's words, I naturally knew how to answer. "Back to Your Majesty, the last general and his colleague Fang Xin of the Martial Arts Research Institute have tried to produce this thing, I haven't thought about it yet, and I hope Your Majesty can give this thing a name."

Uncle Li really squinted his eyes and showed me a very satisfied smile, well, Uncle Li also knew that I understood his spleen surname, at this point, he was very satisfied, Uncle Li pointed to this half of the broken wall: "I Rong Ma half a life, in order to pacify my Tang Dynasty, I have made countless contributions, countless enemies have died in my hands, because of the military exploits and the first emperor has been favored, I was canonized as the general of Tiance, the first emperor once said, there is Erlang for the sword and gun in my hand, for the father to get the world." Today, I also want to say that I have this God-given sharp weapon, and I will open up the land and stabilize the world, and there will be no worries about foreign enemies. ”

"General Tiance cannon! Good name, both majestic and magnificent, all the craftsmen and officials of the Martial Arts Research Institute on behalf of the Emperor Thank Your Majesty for giving this good name, he said, Tiance General Cannon will follow my Tang Dynasty soldiers, step all over the world, and forever consolidate my Tang Antai. I saluted Uncle Li excitedly and said loudly.

All the people in the people were crazy about Uncle Li's sycophants, wise and martial, and martial arts...... In short, what to catch, in short, Uncle Li is in a very good mood now, "Hehehe, okay, okay, all of you Aiqing are all flat, I am very clear about your intentions." Uncle Li stroked his long beard, looked back at the broken wall and remnant of the wall, pulled me towards the artillery position, and said happily: "Virtuous son-in-law, you are really a lucky star given to the old man by God, a lucky star given to me by the Tang Dynasty, hehehe......"

Seeing the brightly colored Tiance General Cannon, Uncle Li stroked the cannon body with great joy: "Well, virtuous son-in-law, how many such Tiance General Cannons are there in the Martial Arts Research Institute right now?" ”

"There are no more than fifty real finished products, but this is only a small cannon, and it is only in the trial production stage, I dare not cast too much, in fact, it can also be made of steel, but the difficulty is even greater, after all, steel is afraid of water, easy to rust, if it is the barrel of this iron core copper tire, the durability is several times better than simply using copper or steel."

"Well, Xiao Cannon, do you mean that there is a more powerful Tiance General Cannon?" Uncle Li's eyes were staring for much longer than usual today, and it seemed that he had been surprised for too long. I scratched my head habitually, regrettably, on my iron helmet. "There is a cannon, but the gun carriage has not yet been made, but the cannon body has been cast, and if you predict from the size and proportion of the cannon body, it can be several times more powerful than these small cannons in front of you, and the firing range is more than twice as far."

"Then what do you say, go and see! The old man was aroused by your kid today, hahaha...... "Uncle Li motioned for me to lead the way quickly, as if he was unwilling to see the big guy."

---------------------------------------------------- in the room of the Martial Arts Research Institute, Uncle Li and these generals, who had been tired from wandering around for a day, finally felt tired, sat on the mat, sipped tea, and talked about the scene they saw today. Uncle Cheng was boasting there with two colleagues: "If it weren't for my son-in-law just now, Lao Cheng would have jumped up and put a cannon on his own, that thing, the explosion is really exciting......"

"Your father-in-law doesn't know how to let your mouth break!" Su Dingfang was next to me, his eyes were very resentful, no way, who made him a junior in front of this bunch of famous generals, the old guys dared to scold Uncle Cheng, and attacked each other with foul language, but Su Ming will be a new star, a new generation of generals, belonging to the junior level, in the hands of Uncle Cheng, only the softness, was instilled by Uncle Cheng for nearly a long time, and the expression of Brother Su Ming was a little sluggish, pitiful.

"The security of the Martial Arts Research Institute must be strengthened, and the candidates must all be reliable and loyal, and the old man will select some from the palace guards." After Uncle Li and the others saw that the power of firearms was beyond their imagination, they became more concerned about the security and defense work of the Martial Arts Research Institute.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that this work should be rewarded heavily to encourage them to continue to serve the court, and in addition, if there are family members, the minister thinks that they should be placed in a separate area, so as to prevent them from being ...... by people with hearts" Uncle Li Ji was more thoughtful.

Uncle Li nodded approvingly: "Aiqing is very polite, so let's do it, the Martial Arts Research Institute is a craftsman and a craftsman, each with ten pieces of money, twenty silk horses, and all the soldiers who guard the Martial Arts Research Institute will also be rewarded according to this example, Zhong Qing, you assisted Fang Qing in taking charge of the Martial Arts Research Institute's hard work, and today I said, I have a special purpose, I will make you a doctor of Chaosan, and give you a goldfish bag." Ten pounds of silver, a hundred horses of silk. ”

Zhong Hua excitedly threw himself to Uncle Li: "Wechen thank Your Majesty for your kindness, Wechen's liver and brain are not enough to repay in case!" ”

"Excuse me, get up quickly, talk about the matter of the Martial Arts Research Institute, I hope Qing will work hard, hehehe." Uncle Li stretched out his hand to help, Zhong Hua stood up and bowed to Uncle Li and said, "Weichen remember, there will never be a half-point difference." ”

Uncle Li looked at me, bowed his head slightly, pointed at me and said with a smile: "As for you, virtuous son-in-law, the old man doesn't ask you if you want a reward, every time you ask, you have to refuse, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the ministers of the court and the central government still think that the old man is too stingy with the emperor, my little Fang Aiqing, don't you kneel down to accept the order?" ”
