Chapter 512: The Age of Gunpowder (Page 1/1)

Under the review stage, the officers and men of the Sixth Guard stood proudly under the stage, looking at Li Shimin on the school review stage with excited eyes one by one.

At this moment, Datang is no longer weakened during the founding of the People's Republic of China, in recent years, Datang's national strength has increased, and it has defeated the Eastern Turks, the overlord of the grassland, and the momentum of the entire military has reached its peak.

For Tuyuhun, many Tang Dynasty soldiers did not take it to heart at all, and this westward expedition, from the general to the soldiers, was full of confidence in victory.

Li Shimin looked at the soldiers with strong soldiers and horses, and said with pride in his heart: "Tuyuhun has repeatedly committed border crimes, committed a lot of blood debts in my Tang Dynasty, and did not think of repentance. ”

"Get justice, get justice!" Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and shouted: "Three days later, you can go on the expedition, this westward expedition, my Tang Dynasty will win." ”

"Datang will win, Datang will win!" All the soldiers shouted in unison, and the momentum shook the sky.

A group of generals also nodded one after another, especially for the offensive of the Macedonian phalanx and the divine arm crossbow with the three-stage attack, which added three points of confidence to the generals.

No one found that under the subtle influence of the Mo family, the balance of victory in this war had quietly shifted to the side of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Merton, as the initiator, did not feel that he had much pride, but calmly prepared for the firearms supervisor's martial arts.

In the valley of the West Mountains.

The tender green grass buds have just emerged, and the whole valley, green mountains and clear waters, is particularly pleasant, but in this beautiful scenery, a section of the city wall suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"This is the wall you're going to build."

Li Jing looked at the city wall in front of him curiously, when Morton borrowed someone from him, it happened that Qin Huaiyu and the three of them were disobedient to discipline, and it was very thorny, he took advantage of the situation to dial the centurion led by Qin Huaiyu and the three of them, who would have thought that such a high city wall would be built in a short time.

"This wall is two zhang high and one zhang wide, and the time is limited, and the boy only built two hundred steps." Merton regretted.

Li Shimin's face twitched, and he waited for Merton to take a look angrily, the two-zhang high city wall is already comparable to the city wall of the county town, this kid built two hundred steps, I don't know how much it cost.

Cheng bit his tongue and said: "Such a high city wall, I'm afraid even a trebuchet can't open it, how did I hear that this is my stinky boy brick by brick!" ”

Li Jing's face was suddenly embarrassed, he looked up at the sky, and didn't answer at all.

Merton hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Brother Cheng's selfless help, the little nephew will be rewarded another day, and the kid invited you here today to let you see the power of ballistics." ”

"This is, Weichen's classmate ancestor Mingjun, ballistics is created by him." Merton pointed to the ancestral monarch who was waiting on the side.

"See the emperor and the ministers." Zu Mingjun said in fear, and couldn't help but glance at Murton with gratitude in his eyes, if Morton hadn't invited him to come to the firearms prison, how could he have the opportunity to show it in front of Li Shimin.

"The descendants of the ancestral family are really knowledgeable!" Li Shimin praised.

"After learning the last to advance, I dare not fall into the reputation of my ancestors." Zu Mingjun's face turned red and said.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Let's start!" Let me see what is so magical about arithmetic that can make both the Mo family and the ancestral family praise each other. ”

"Yes!" Zu Mingjun took a deep breath, bowed down to return to the return cannon, and began to adjust the angle.

Merton pointed to a dummy man next to a battlement in the city wall: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please see, if this is the commander of the enemy army, three hundred steps away from the trebuchet, using ballistics, you can accurately hit and carry out the decapitation operation." ”

"Decapitation?" Li Shimin's light flashed, although he heard this word for the first time, he instantly understood the meaning, he once led the elite Xuanjia army, broke through hundreds of miles in one day, and captured Dou Jiande, not a beheading operation, that is, the so-called capture of the thief and capture the king first.

A group of generals were also thoughtful, and Li Jing was even more moved in his heart, this beheading operation may be included in his military book.

"Shoot!" Zu Mingjun calculated the trajectory, and a huge stone egg suddenly flew out, and in full view of everyone, it accurately hit the dummy on the city wall.

"So accurate?" Li Shimin was surprised.

The eyes of the other generals also lit up suddenly, such a precise blow can be described as a unique rarity, the trebuchet in the past can be said to be almost blind, and it is all luck.

Hou Junji waved his hand and said indifferently: "What's the use of a single shot on the spot, as long as the generals on the opposite side are not stupid, they will definitely be able to dodge the past, and if they don't use a few more trebuchets and bombard at the same time, they will definitely be able to hit with one blow." ”

Many generals also echoed one after another, although these generals are all in high positions, but most of them are from reckless backgrounds, where can they afford these delicate things, they are not willing to work hard in this area at all, for them, it is nothing more than a few more stone eggs.

Merton was not surprised by this, but ordered the hundred horsemen on the side to exchange the stone egg for a black iron lump.

"I don't know if the enemy will be able to hide this time." Merton said confidently.

"Gunpowder weapons!"

Everyone was in their hearts, and they immediately knew that this was the gunpowder weapon of the firearms supervisor, and the explosion in the back mountain of Xuandu Guanhou was tragic, although Li Shimin ordered the news to be blocked, but as a general of the Tang Dynasty, he naturally heard about the situation at that time.

"Your Majesty!" Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but get close to Li Shimin's escort in front of him.

"It's okay!" Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Generals, don't panic, even if it is dangerous, as long as it is in accordance with the rules, it will be very safe." Merton said loudly.

Li Shimin nodded, he had seen the firearms supervisor's recital, and Morton had already explained to him the steps of fire prevention one by one on the recital, and he was not worried at all, because he really couldn't think of the possibility of an accident.

Merton pulled the fire fold from his bosom and carefully lit the long fuse of the gunpowder.

"Shoot again!" Zu Mingjun shouted suddenly.

Almost following the trajectory of the previous time, the powder bullet, with a hint of spark, once again hit the position of the dummy.

"Sure enough, it's accurate!" With two consecutive hits, everyone's attention to ballistics suddenly increased a lot.

However, this did not end there, in the sight of everyone, with a loud bang, a huge flame suddenly erupted from the city wall, and at the same time, a black smoke rose into the air.

"This!"

The generals suddenly felt cold all over their bodies, and they couldn't help but think about it, they couldn't imagine who could survive under this earth-destroying force, if they were in the position of dummies, I am afraid that there would be no chance of survival.

"This is a gunpowder weapon!"

Li Shimin's eyes stared at the flames in the sky, and his heart was shocked, such a weapon was probably subversive of his previous understanding of war.

Li Jingrong's face was moved for the first time, this time his military book was not repaired, I am afraid it will really be rewritten.

"From now on, no matter how high the martial arts are, I am afraid that in the face of such a powerful weapon, it will be like paper paste." A group of generals who have passed down the world with courage and martial arts can't help but lament, since ancient times, peerless generals have been among thousands of armies, and going to the head of the general is like probing for things, and from now on, this phenomenon may be difficult to appear again.

"This is the age of gunpowder." Merton said proudly as he watched the smoke dissipate.
