Once again, on the city wall, everyone's thoughts can be described as extremely complicated, and they are naturally familiar with the city wall generals, but this time the city wall that everyone relies on is even a little frightened, and I always feel a little unstable under my feet. However, seeing Li Shimin and Merton taking the lead on the city wall, the generals' hearts were a little more stable.

The last time they came to see the power of the gunpowder bullet, although the power of the gunpowder bullet was strong, it only hurt the skin of the city wall, at most it was scorched black, or a few bricks were loosened.

However, this time it was different, the entire city wall directly blasted open more than ten zhang, broken into two, everyone looked at the broken wall and the remnants of the eyes were full of devastation, and the shock in their hearts can be imagined.

The mood of the generals is very solemn, in other words, if they were standing on this city wall at that time, no matter how many weapons, how many soldiers, how well prepared, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the moment when the city is broken, a general defending the city is breached the city wall, then I am afraid that there is only one way to die, even if you are lucky to escape, you will inevitably die.

"It can't be cutting corners, right?"

The eldest grandson Shunde couldn't believe it, and dared to go to the edge of the section to look at the section of the city wall, the city wall of Merton has only been built for a long time, I'm afraid it is not so strong!

However, to his disappointment, Merton did not cut corners, but instead used real materials, all the walls were made of the best bricks and mud embryos, all bonded with glutinous rice juice, no worse than ordinary city walls.

In fact, this section of the city wall was built by Merton first, the purpose is to test the power of the explosion, it can be said that it is the strongest section of all the city walls, but Rao is so, still can't stop the power of gunpowder.

Li Shimin couldn't help but check it, but he couldn't help but accept this fact, this is indeed a real city wall, Morton did not exaggerate, gunpowder can really destroy the city.

"There is such a divine soldier in the world?" Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but be shocked, and the generals also nodded one after another, and they haven't come back to their senses until now.

"How much gunpowder did the firearms supervisor share this time?" Li Shimin Huo Ran turned around and asked.

Merton smiled, stretched out five fingers and said, "It's five thousand catties of gunpowder." ”

Five thousand catties of gunpowder is almost the output of the firearms superintendent for ten years, and according to Merton's quotation of five thousand catties of gunpowder, it is worth at least 50,000 taels of silver, which can be described as a sky-high price, plus the destroyed city wall, it is even more valuable.

However, this time Li Shimin did not feel a little distressed at all, but was endlessly happy, such a weapon that can determine the outcome with one blow, even if it is ten times more expensive, it is worth the price.

"How much gunpowder is left in the Firearms Prison?" Li Shimin asked with the excitement in his heart.

Merton replied: "At present, the Firearms Superintendent has 5,000 catties of finished gunpowder ammunition and 10,000 catties of gunpowder in stock. Moreover, the current output of the firearms superintendent can produce 5,000 catties of gunpowder per ten years, and if there is enough saltpeter and craftsmen are added, this output can be increased. ”

"All these gunpowder Western Expeditionary Army will be wanted, and there will be as many as there will be in the future." Li Jing couldn't wait to say. If these weapons are used properly, they will definitely fight the battle, and Li Jing will naturally not let them go.

When Morton heard this, he immediately looked at Li Shimin, only to see Li Shimin nodding slowly and saying: "The firearms supervisor will make all the gunpowder in stock, all of which will be made into gunpowder bullets, and all of them will be handed over to the Western Expedition for later use." ”

This Western Expedition must be victorious and not defeated, and Datang will naturally do its best to win this battle, and Li Shimin will naturally not use it in a pedantic manner.

Merton nodded and arched his hand: "General Li, don't worry, boy, let the firearms supervisor make gunpowder shells, and ensure that all of them will be delivered to Lanzhou before the war." ”

At this time, there was no expedition, the army set off from Chang'an City and arrived in Lanzhou, even if the brick road was smooth, it would not be possible to arrive in half a month.

However, Li Jing shook his head and said, "What the general wants is not just gunpowder. And Mohou you! ”

"Me!" Merton suddenly pointed at himself in surprise and asked in disbelief.

Li Jing nodded and said: "The gunpowder weapon is the first creation of Mohou, besides you can use it, who else can use it well, this western expedition naturally needs Mohou you to command the gunpowder weapon." ”

In fact, Li Jing's words are a bit watery, gunpowder weapons are simple and easy to use, as long as the idea and method, it is not different who uses it, but after all, gunpowder is too important, if it is placed in his hands, I am afraid that it will attract criticism, so that the most suitable weapon to manage gunpowder is naturally not Merton's belonging.

And Merton, this kid has often come up with strange tricks, and bringing Merton may have unexpected gains.

Li Shimin naturally didn't think of this, and nodded when he heard this: "Okay, let Morton lead the firearms supervisor to Tuyuhun for a trip." ”

When Merton heard this, he immediately bowed down and said, "The last general will obey!" ”

The battle of Tuyuhun was originally promoted by him, which happened a year ahead of schedule, and one of the purposes of the westward expedition was Qinghai Salt Lake, so he was naturally indispensable.

Li Jing immediately nodded with satisfaction and said: "I think that when Mohou first entered Chang'an City, he wrote three poems in a row, it was a famous Chang'an City, and this time he joined the army, wouldn't it be a good story." ”

The generals also immediately laughed and congratulated Merton.

The eldest grandson Shunde on the side couldn't help but have red eyes with jealousy, he tried his best and didn't squeeze into the list of the Western Expedition, and the Mo family got it easily, how could he balance his heart.

"The list of the western expedition has been decided, and the guards will prepare immediately, and three days later, they will immediately send troops." Li Shimin shouted.

"Obey your orders!" The generals suddenly said solemnly.

At this point, the big military exercise is over. The army that set out from Chang'an City was six guards and one prison. Although the scale of the firearms superintendent is very small, after this large-scale military exercise, no one dares to underestimate the firearms superintendent, and everyone understands that the future potential of the firearms superintendent with gunpowder is bound to be limitless.

After Li Shimin left, the generals also left one after another, after all, there were only three days left, although they had already prepared, but they were still in a hurry.

"Lord Sacrificial Wine, are you saying that our firearms supervisor is also going to participate in the Western Expedition!"

When Merton told the news of his participation in the Western Expedition to the Hundred Cavalry Soldiers, Xue Rengui and the others couldn't believe it.

Morton rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "That's natural, who else is there to use gunpowder bullets, do you want the craftsman of the firearms prison to go." ”

"Oh! Thank you for the sake! Xue Rengui said excitedly.

Although the hundred cavalry are selected to be the elite of the army, they have a unique status, but they have few opportunities to go to the battlefield, how can they not be excited to see the Western Expedition this time.

Moreover, the power of gunpowder weapons was operated by them themselves, and this expedition to the west would definitely return with meritorious service.
