Li Shimin walked to the bookshelf and watched the sunlight on the books shine through the green light of the green glass.

Gaochang is the main road of the ancient Silk Road, and Tang merchants want to go to the Western Regions, and they need to pay a lot of customs duties in Gaochang, so although Gaochang is not a big country, it is very rich and strong, and it is a hard bone.

But no matter how tough you are, you will not be an opponent of gunpowder weapons!

Fantasizing about the scene of the ground-level thunder exploding on the land of Gaochang, Li Shimin showed a cruel smile.

Ground-level thunder, a normal person has to do all their best to move, so even the Dragon Tooth Army and the Dragon Scale Army are not suitable for assembly.

The Dragon Tooth Army pays attention to coming and going like the wind, and Leng Feng even deliberately added wilderness survival training, just so that the Dragon Tooth Army can even throw down grain and grass to increase speed when necessary. In normal marching, the military horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, and the grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army, so "burning grain and grass" is a habitual tactic in war.

After survival training in the wild, grain and grass are not so important to the Dragon's Tooth Army.

But the ground-level thunder thing, manpower can't be played, it can only be used with catapults, and catapults are such big guys, even 10,000 troops are rarely equipped, not to mention the 1,200 dragon's tooth army!

"Merchants are also my people, and my people can only pay taxes to me!"

Li Shimin's hand unconsciously touched the bookshelf, and the wooden boards of the bookshelf creaked.

A warm hand grabbed Li Shimin's hand, Li Shimin's hand instantly relaxed, he didn't need to look back to know who the person behind him was, he and the queen had already been on the verge of becoming one after many years of husband and wife.

Without turning around, Li Shimin let the queen hug his waist and said softly: "Doctor Sun wants you to walk in the palace for two hours a day to exercise, have you walked enough today?" ”

The queen put her head on Li Shimin's shoulder and said, "I've been walking since the morning, don't say it, the concubine doesn't have a headache anymore these days." Hey? What are you here? Why are you so awkward? ”

Li Shimin stretched out his hand, took out a pistol from his waist and said: "This is the hidden weapon that Leng Feng promised to give me, I experimented with it that day, and the power was amazing, but the sound was a little loud, and it shook my hands." ”

The queen smiled: "The good things that the Duke of Xi Guo gave you, you should keep them well, why do you put them on your waist?" ”

Li Shimin said: "When he gave it to me, he told me how to put it with my hand, and I used to draw a knife before, so I put it there." ”

Li Shimin unfolded the outer robe of the dragon robe, revealing the holster he had sewn on his waist, and only after checking the safety did he put the pistol back. Leng Feng said that if the insurance is on, it is easy to misfire, that is, he will shoot himself, and Li Shimin, who has tried the power of the pistol, does not feel that his "golden body" can resist the shooting of the pistol.

Outside the study, the yellow gate informed Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, that he wanted to see him, and the queen hurriedly retreated to the back, Li Xiaogong is Li Shimin's cousin, and now he must have officially asked to see him. The woman does not interfere in politics, she must retreat.

The door of the study opened, and Li Xiaogong knelt on one knee after walking in: "Your Majesty, the base number of firearms loaded by the Dragon Scale Army has reached eight, plus the autumn wind has risen, it's time to send troops." ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Zhang Zhongqing's Thunderbolt Division is indeed making thunderbolts and thunderbolts at a speed that is indeed up, how much are you going to bring?" ”

Li Xiaogong said: "Three is enough, three ground-level thunderbolts are enough to change the battle situation of a decisive battle, not to mention that the Dragon Scale Army also has thunder arrows and human-level thunderbolts." ”

Li Shimin thought about it for a while and said: "Bring one more, the Western Turks have a close relationship with Gaochang, and it is uncertain whether they will send troops to support Gaochang." Although you and Li Jing are both coaches in this dispatch, you still have to listen to his opinions on major matters. ”

Li Xiaogong is not a self-righteous person, he knows very well that Li Jing's military talent is above him, so he nodded.

After Li Xiaogong left, Li Shimin touched the fur on his seat, Leng Feng said that Gaochang's cotton can be used to make clothes, quilts, and seat cushions, at least more comfortable than fur.

He didn't care that the cotton seat cushion was comfortable to sit on, he just wanted the people to wear cotton clothes. Liu Yuan has been running to reform agriculture all over the country, and if there is such a magical thing as cotton, the people will be able to worry about food and clothing.

Let the people, he Li Shimin will be the most outstanding emperor in hundreds of years, coupled with gunpowder weapons, this kind of military weapon, opening up the territory is just a matter of hand, and it is not a big problem for him to chase the Qin Emperor and Han Wu.

Who is the word of mouth of the people? Li Shimin looked at the color of his dragon robe, and his eyes were confused.........

Li Jing was startled when he saw Zhang Zhongqing, who was holding the arrow box and his eyes were blood-red, how desperate was this person?

Zhang Zhongqing didn't talk nonsense, put the arrow box on the table and said: "You are the biggest head of this expedition to Gaochang, the cloud-piercing arrow should let you experiment first, take the bow and follow me, find a secluded and uninhabited place, experiment!" ”

Li Jing asked worriedly, "Can your body still hold up?" Don't let us go on the march, but you fall. ”

Zhang Zhongqing waved his hand and said: "It's useless to talk less, back then I followed His Majesty to fight, Lao Tzu just didn't close his eyes for seven days and seven nights, this is a fart, go quickly!"

Li Xiaogong confirmed one thing with me today, it looks like the troops are about to be dispatched, and the cloud-piercing arrow must appear on the battlefield! ”

Li Jing could only find a bow and go out with Zhang Zhongqing, and for the sake of secrecy, he didn't even call the guards.

After the two rode into the mountains, Zhang Zhongqing took out the cloud-piercing arrow from the arrow box and said to Li Jing: "At present, I have made three colors: blue, red, purple, with sound and without sound. ”

Li Jing said: "First of all, try the red fire with smoke." ”

Zhang Zhongqing took out an arrow painted with red paint and handed it to Li Jing.

Although Li Jing's bow and arrow are not at the top level, they are at least at an average level, and it is no problem to shoot an arrow.

After lighting the fuse, an arrow was fired, and Zhang Zhongqing's cloud-piercing arrow did not turn into a circle in mid-air this time, but flew high obediently, and the red fire below was clearly distinguishable.

Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, the red flame-piercing arrow was very suitable as a signal arrow for attack.

"What did you add to it?" Li Jing asked inadvertently.

Zhang Zhong glanced at Li Jing innocently and said, "This is the secret of the Thunder Division, you also have to inquire?" ”

Li Jing hurriedly shook his head, except for the emperor's subordinates, who knows who is unlucky!

Zhang Zhongqing said impatiently: "What kind of next?" ”

Li Jing said: "Listen to the ringing, this sound must be loud enough." ”
