"Ink attacks and keeps to the letter, and it really lives up to its reputation." Li Jing blurted out that the power of gunpowder was palpitating even if it was the Tang Dynasty military god.

"The best offense is defense, you are all generals in the army, and there are countless sieges of cities, the kid is just opportunistic, how dare he get an axe in front of the generals." Merton said modestly.

"The best offense is defense!" Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and they couldn't help but think about it, the crossbow soldiers cooperated with the three-stage attack, which seemed to only focus on attack and not defense, but in fact, the crossbow arrows shot out one by one blocked the enemy from a hundred meters away, the enemy just has a strong martial art, and he can't get close, so why isn't this the strongest defense?

And the gunpowder bullet in front of him is also extremely powerful, roaring, constantly bombarding everyone's minds, this is probably the most powerful weapon in the world, everyone was shocked in their hearts.

"Yes, the best offense is defense, this time Datang took the initiative to attack and win Tuyuhun, just ask, there is still that blind person in the world who will invade my Datang border again." Li Shimin shouted.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The generals congratulated. This sentence is the most popular among military generals, for the country that dares to violate the border, there is only one way, that is, to fight, one does not accept the destruction of the other, to see who dares to violate the border.

"Gunpowder can attack and defend, the kid also made a lot of one or two catties of gunpowder bullets, ordinary infantry can carry them, if it is used on the city wall, as long as the gunpowder bullets are inexhaustible, the enemy is absolutely impossible to attack the city wall." Merton said confidently.

"Mo family, don't talk big, as long as you are willing to use soldiers, there is no city wall that cannot be attacked." Cheng Yanjin is good at commanding infantry and attacking cities, and retorted at the moment.

"If Uncle Cheng doesn't believe it, can you make a bet?" Merton smiled slyly.

Cheng Yanjin glared at Morton when he heard this, shook his head again and again, and said: "I can't fall for your kid, who knows what tricks your kid is holding back." ”

Everyone immediately laughed, and pointed at Cheng Yanjin and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you, the demon king of the mixed world, to have a day of confession." ”

Li Shimin also shook his head and smiled, and said to Merton: "Okay, don't sell it, if there is any treasure, give it quickly!" ”

With a wave of his hand, Merton saw that about twenty hundred cavalry soldiers were under the leadership of Xue Rengui, with a belt wrapped around their waists, and more than a dozen items with long and thick arms hanging on them, which were common grenades in later film and television.

"Cover!"

With Xue Rengui's order, I saw twenty hundred cavalry soldiers, lying on the city wall and under the battlements. The crowd couldn't help but look at the hundreds of cavalry soldiers in amazement, how to fight without showing their heads.

"You'll see it at a glance!" Merton didn't explain, but sold off.

"Ignition!"

At this moment, Merton naturally couldn't take out the kind of sounding grenade in later generations, but adopted the most primitive lead mode, and the hundred cavalry soldiers took out the fire fold and ignited the grenade lead in their hands.

"Throw the bomb!"

Xue Rengui shouted violently, and twenty grenades flew out and threw them under the city wall.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The sound of explosions came from under the city walls, almost in no particular order.

However, this was not the end, and then another wave of grenades flew out, and after ten rounds, the roar under the city wall continued, until the smoke cleared, and the hundred cavalry soldiers got up and saluted Li Shimin on one knee.

With a wave of his hand, Xue Rengui took out a huge wooden box and opened it in front of everyone, only to see more than a dozen gunpowder bullets neatly placed on the dry straw.

"Good!" Li Shimin ignored the roaring ears, picked up a grenade, and immediately praised it lovingly.

With his eyes, he can naturally see the benefits of such grenades, although the grenade is less powerful, but it is convenient for individual soldiers, once the enemy swarms up, the city is about to be lost, after a few rounds of grenades, it will definitely be able to turn the corner.

What's more, Li Shimin had already thought that if he wanted to ambush the enemy army, he would throw grenades one by one, and the battle would have been won for the most part.

"This weapon is good, I like it." Cheng Yanjin also stepped forward and looked at the grenade with a smile and opened his eyes.

"Come on, I'll try it too!" Li Shimin suddenly became interested and shouted.

Xue Rengui immediately presented a fire fold, Li Shimin took it, lit the fuse, and suddenly threw it from the city wall, the grenade was only a little more than a catty, Li Shimin threw it directly twenty steps away with all his strength, and after a few breaths, the fire flashed, and the roar suddenly came.

Merton explained: "There are two main types of damage caused by a gunpowder explosion, one is that when the gunpowder explodes, the huge shock wave is enough to kill and injure people, and the other is that the explosion shatters the shell of the grenade, and the fragments hit the human body with the shock wave, causing a lot of damage, and no one is spared within five steps. ”

"Five steps!" Li Shimin nodded, and when he saw a hole the size of his butt that had been smashed by a gunpowder bullet twenty steps away, his face couldn't help but look happy.

The other generals were also in high spirits and ordered to step forward to try their skills, and after a while, more than a dozen grenades were thrown out.

Li Shimin was still not satisfied, and was about to continue to make a few more rounds, only to hear Morton say leisurely: "This is a grenade, and it costs one or two silver." ”

Li Shimin's heart twitched again, he withdrew his hand stupidly, gritted his teeth and said, "Continue to build." ”

"Your Majesty is wise, the old minister resigns from the position of general, and is willing to train a group of legions using firearms for Your Majesty!" Cheng Yanjin couldn't wait.

"Lao Cheng, don't you want to eat alone, who doesn't want such weapons!" The other generals immediately disagreed.

All of a sudden, the generals were in an uproar.

"Okay, don't fight, this time the gunpowder ammunition will be given priority to the supply of the Western Expedition, and a firearms army will be set up in the future to form a separate army." Li Shimin shouted.

The generals immediately stopped arguing, if the firearms army formed an army alone, it would definitely be under the direct jurisdiction of Li Shimin, and it was impossible for them to have their share, but the gunpowder weapons left an indelible impression in their hearts.

"This gunpowder weapon, in addition to gunpowder bullets and grenades, Weichen also has another more powerful explosive package, which is specially used to destroy the city gate, as long as the city gate is not sealed, it will definitely be able to attack the city in one fell swoop." Merton pointed to the gate at his feet.

Generally speaking, if the defending side of the city is in a weak position, the city gate will be sealed, but it is not without exception, and there are many defenders who think they can defend the city, and usually leave a city gate to fight back.

If there really is a gunpowder weapon that can break through the city gate in one fell swoop, it will definitely have a miraculous effect.

"Oh!" Li Shimin came to be interested,

"Your Majesty, please come with me!"

Merton led Li Shimin and a group of generals down the city wall, and came to the city wall, in front of a simple viewing platform a hundred steps away, just in front of the brand new city gate.
