Chapter 201: Viper
As soon as Li Shimin finished reviewing the chapter, he was relied on by Zhang Zhongqing, and he had to ask the emperor to find a way for him.
At this time, it had passed the third watch, and Li Shimin was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, so he could only agree to Zhang Zhongqing's request and shoot Yang Yi out.
In the laughter of "hey, hey, hey", Zhang Zhongqing looked at the books left by Leng Feng, and the first three or four pages of "safety specifications" were skipped by him, and he didn't care about the manufacturing process in the middle, and directly turned to the introduction of the finished product at the back.
"Although the artillery is powerful and difficult to move, the power is amazing. Although the actual power is not as good as that of a ground-level thunderbolt, the range is higher than that of a trebuchet. Use it for city defense ........."
Zhang Zhongqing quickly read the introduction, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Whew~ Grandma's, I know that this guy is hiding!" The thunder arrow matches the human-level thunder, and the ground-level thunder should have a ranged weapon that matches it! β
Li Shimin was originally drowsy, but when he heard Zhang Zhongqing talk about gunpowder weapons, he suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "Zhongqing, what is written in the book?" β
Zhang Zhongqing grinned and said: "It's called 'artillery', it is a weapon of the same level as the ground-level thunder, if the thunder arrow and the human-level thunder are the same level, then this artillery is the ground-level thunder arrow." It's just that its principle is different from that of the Thunder Arrow, but it is the same principle used by the Cloud Piercing Arrow......... I'll look at Ang. β
Zhang Zhongqing went back to the front and flipped a few pages before continuing: "This thing is actually similar to the Eight Bull Crossbow, both of which are heavyweight things.........
Where Zhang Zhongqing was talking, Li Shimin was dizzy when he listened: "Zhongqing, you stop, I still don't understand, you show me the book." β
Hearing what the emperor said, Zhang Zhongqing was extremely reluctant to give the book to the emperor, and Li Shimin looked at it for a while and asked, "Can this thing be made?" β
Zhang Zhongqing nodded: "It's not difficult to make it, but ......... It's easy to fry! β
"Fried?" Li Shimin unfolded the page with **: "You said this thing will explode?" β
Zhang Zhongqing was puzzled: "This thing is actually equivalent to half a ground-level thunderbolt, the amount of medicine is so large, the barrel of the cannon is easy to explode before the cannon is ejected, and the current iron-making technology of the supervisor is really not very good." β
The backwardness of smelting technology is the biggest factor in counterbalancing the emergence of artillery, so although gunpowder appeared at the end of the Tang Dynasty, artillery was not made until the Southern Song Dynasty.
Li Shimin returned the book to Zhang Zhongqing, thought for a while and said, "Don't build it, this thing is so dangerous, it's not worth it for you to lose your life when you research!" β
Zhang Zhongqing held the book and said categorically: "Build!" Even if Weichen loses his life, he has to make it! As long as the artillery can be created, it is the second Great Wall, and His Majesty should be able to see its value, how can he hesitate? β
After speaking, Zhang Zhongqing arched his hand at Li Shimin and left.
He needs to take a big nap now, and when he has slept enough, he will dive in and study the artillery, preferably before Leng Feng returns to Beijing, lest this kid hide it all day!
Li Shimin looked at Zhang Zhongqing's back and suddenly felt a little sad, he really owed Zhang Zhongqing a lot!
But before Li Shimin could continue to sigh, suddenly a eunuch hurried in with a box and reported that Hongling at the border was in a hurry.
At this time, there is only one battlefield in Gaochang, calculating the time, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing arrived in Gaochang for only ten days, could it be that something happened in Gaochang?
Li Shimin hurriedly opened the Hongling emergency report, but found that the box contained a success document instead of a request for help.
After reading the documents, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, Li Jing and they arrived in Gaochang for only a dozen days, minus the interrogation time of the urgent report, only a few days, but Gaochang Wang Lu Wentai has been captured alive, Li Jing and they are now cleaning up the remnants of the army in Gaochang.
In Li Xiaogong's handwritten documents, the sharpness of gunpowder weapons is praised throughout, and it can be said that the Gaochang war went so smoothly because of the blessing of gunpowder weapons.
And the battle losses in this battle surprised Li Shimin even more, three thousand!
It's not too much, it's too little!
An army of 50,000 people conquers a country, and it is normal to lose more than 30% of the battle, that is to say, Li Shimin's inner positioning is 15,000 people, but the actual situation is that he died in battle and can't even reach a fraction of 15,000!
Li Shimin closed the paper and sighed: "The gunpowder weapon is really a military weapon!" Zhang Zhongqing is right, it's better to study artillery! β
The third watch day passed, but the emperor did not sleep peacefully, so the queen could only come over to take a look and send some supper to Li Shimin by the way.
Looking at the queen who had already shown her belly, Li Shimin said angrily: "These things, as long as the palace maid does it, you are now a queen, so you can raise a baby with peace of mind!" β
The queen put a few side dishes on the dragon case, and said with a smile: "Isn't the concubine not pot-bellied yet!" You're really, it's so late, it's time to rest. β
Li Shimin smiled, picked up chopsticks and ate a few bites of food, looked at the queen's stomach and said, "I don't know if Shuwen is pregnant now, I am looking forward to marrying the Duke of Xiguo!" β

"Damn it!" The cold front almost sneezed again.
At this moment, Leng Feng, who was still lying on his stomach in the grass at the commanding heights, didn't have time to make a villain, Lingnan was foggy, and it was the time when the fog was thick, Leng Feng's clothes and armor quickly became wet, and after two hours passed, he was completely soaked.
This had to make Leng Feng glad that he didn't let the dogs bring gunpowder weapons, and the waterproof fuse that Zhang Zhongqing researched could only be said to be waterproof in a short time, and the thunder arrow was better, but there was an arrow box to seal it, but the thunder would not work, and the fuse would definitely be waterlogged for a long time, and there would definitely be a problem.
Huang Zerui snored again, Leng Feng pushed him helplessly and asked him to stop, just sleep during the mission, why are you still snoring?
It's really hard for him, he can still sleep when he is wet.
However, if Leng Feng knew that most of this guy's body could fall asleep in the water, he would probably sigh "It's really a cow".
Leng Feng pushed Huang Zerui and successfully made him stop snoring, but when Huang Zerui turned over, Leng Feng almost turned the gun head directly!
I saw that on the outside of Huang Zerui's waist, a snake head rose!
Why do you say rising? Because this snake has a flat neck.........
Cobra!
Leng Feng's most fearful situation in this era is to be bitten by poisonous snakes, especially the highly venomous snake cobra, bitten by it, it will be finished without antivenom, and there is only one way to go!
Leng Feng doesn't want Huang Zerui to lack arms and legs! So he aimed the sniper rifle at the cobra, he would rather expose his position than save Huang Zerui's life!
