Chapter 744: The Power of the Divine Cannon

After about half an hour, the four words of Zhenguan Shen Cannon were engraved on the body of the Hongyi cannon.

Looking at these four words, they are very powerful, really as powerful as a cannon.

When Li Chengqian was carefully studying these four words, a small yellow door shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”

The news should have reached Li Shimin quite quickly, but when he came, it was an hour later, probably because he had something to do.

"Erchen greets Your Majesty!"

Li Chengqian saluted.

"Gao Ming, is your cannon really finished?"

Li Shimin said as soon as he came.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Where? I want to see it! ”

Li Shimin looked around, and he didn't know what he thought this cannon looked like, until Li Chengqian pointed to the cannon on the ground, he frowned.

"That's it?"

In his opinion, shouldn't the cannon have a tall and mighty physique?

Why is it just such an iron tube? It's still such a big tube.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can this thing really break your cement wall?"

"Huh?"

This Li Shimin didn't come alone, but someone came with him.

This person is Yu Wenshi and this guy, he is really noisy, and he has these things every day.

"Yu Wenshi and you look two miles away, the pieces that are deep in are hit by cannons!"

Li Chengqian pointed to the distance and said.

"How can you see so far away?"

Yu Wenshi and Dao.

At this time, Li Chengqian handed out a telescope and handed it to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, please look!"

Li Shimin took the telescope and looked at it, and sure enough, as Li Chengqian said, there were countless pits two miles away, and there were several mounds of earth that were so light that they were shattered.

"Is that really cannon damage?"

"Your Majesty, that's it! Because I just tried it, and the cannon is still warm at this time! ”

Li Shimin put down the binoculars, and Yu Wenshi took a look, and his face became wonderful.

"This ......"

His tone became a little shocked, and at the same time he refused to admit it.

Then he said: "This doesn't seem to be very good, and I don't know if I can break the cement wall?" ”

Where did Li Chengqian dare to bombard his city wall with a cannon, if it was broken, he would be told that the wall would not work, and if he did not break it, he would be said that the cannon would not work.

Although he can blast it, in order not to give Yu Wenshi a chance to take advantage of it.

He said, "Yu Wenshiji, what kind of heart do you have?" Why do we bombard our own walls? Do you want this king to destroy his own city? ”

This question made Yu Wenshi dumbfounded, but then he said: "If it doesn't boom, how can it prove that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's cannon is useful?" ”

Li Shimin listened to it on the side, and it seemed to make sense.

Li Chengqian said: "Why boom? This cannon, this king, can blast through stones! My concrete walls are generally hard compared to stone, so it's definitely okay to use it to hit stones. ”

He avoided the words of Yuwen Shiji, yes, why bombarded his own city walls? Didn't you beat yourself up? If you say it, it will make people laugh.

Li Shimin's mind was all on the cannon, and he asked again, "Oh?" Gao Ming, is this cannon really so powerful? ”

Li Chengqian said straight:

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's the case, if you don't believe me, you can try to show you!"

"No!"

Li Shimin directly refused.

"Huh? Your Majesty, don't you want to see it? ”

Li Chengqian was puzzled, Li Shimin came over not to see the power of the cannon, but he refused.

"What does it mean for me to look at it alone? This is best for more people to see, so let's test it outside the east of Chang'an City, so that the world can know the power of this cannon! With the power of my Datang! ”

Is this clearly for Li Chengqian to pretend to be forced in front of a large number of people?

Why not? Li Shimin thinks so, what reason does Li Chengqian have to refuse?

"That's naturally the best, so that the people of the world can know the power of my Datang, and let the people of the world be afraid of the strength of my Datang."

Li Chengqian did not refuse, but agreed.

Yu Wenshi followed and said: "The minister thinks that this is really good! I'm afraid that when the cannon can't be broken, it will be a loss of face! ”

"Yu Wenshi, don't worry about this, this king said yes, yes, never can't!"

"Since Gao Ming said yes, that's okay."

Li Shimin said, and then said: "Come on, send a notice, it means that Tianchen is outside the east gate of Chang'an, and I want to open this cannon!" To town all nations! ”

A cannon that can break stones, many times more powerful than a trebuchet.

"Yes!"

The little yellow door went down to arrange it.

Li Shimin asked again: "Does this cannon have a name?" ”

Just now I was just looking at the results, but I didn't even notice these details.

"His name is Zhenguan Shen Cannon!"

"What a Zhenguan cannon! Hahaha, not bad, this is good! Gao Ming, how about you introduce me to the details of this cannon? ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, the Zhenguan Divine Cannon is made of copper coins fused and cast! It is one zhang long, weighs more than 2,000 catties, the shell weighs 20 catties, the maximum firing range is ten miles, and the best firing range is eight miles! ”

Every time Li Chengqian said something, it shocked people.

Especially the range, that's simply invincible.

The range of a gun is no more than a mile away, such as a trebuchet, at most a mile away.

Li Shimin has fought many battles and attacked dozens of cities, and whoever shoots far with his weapons will be better able to ensure the safety of his soldiers.

This cannon undoubtedly complemented the lack of guns.

If you want to attack the city, just stand eight miles away, blast the enemy's gates with cannons, and kill the soldiers defending the city, and when the cannons stop, rush into the city, then you can kill a lot fewer soldiers.

In the past, if you fought with a sea of people, you had to have at least two to three times more people defending the city than you could kill the enemy city, but now it is different, maybe half of the enemy can kill the enemy and take the city.

If the cannon is equipped on the city, it will be even more powerful, and before the enemy comes, with a cannon bombardment, those enemies will die to slag.

But just because you have a powerful weapon doesn't mean you're invincible.

You also have to prevent the weapon from falling into the hands of the enemy, otherwise it will be even worse if someone else uses the modification to counterattack.

"Good, good! Very good, if that's the case, I have a cannon in Datang, and it's invincible! Tomorrow, just wait for tomorrow, and let the world know how powerful my Datang is! ”

Li Shimin stayed for a while before leaving here.

When Li Shimin left, Li Chengqian saw Yu Wenshiji's gaze a little strange.

He knew that this goods might be destroyed, so he said: "Li Kai, we must strengthen the defense here, and we must not take it lightly!" ”

"Yes! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please rest assured! The villain will definitely guard this place! ”

As for this, Li Chengqian is going to send heavy troops to guard it, just in case.
