Chapter 9: I'm Going to (Part II)

"Boy, don't be fooling the old man, a one-stone bow, the whole Tang Dynasty can only pull away thousands of soldiers, you say you have a way to make ordinary people can pull it away with a little training?" Li Xiaogong was full of doubts about Mo Shuyu's words.

"Lord Wang, I will teach the soldiers to use cannons first. I have to trouble you to send a soldier to Xiaoyaoguan for the bow matter, and find Zhang Dabiao to bring my improved bow over, and the prince will know it when he tries it. After Mo Shuyu finished talking to Li Xiaogong, he beckoned the guards who had just fired a cannon to bring a sky-shattering thunder and motioned for him to put it in the cannon.

"Gunpowder is easy to get wet, and a single moisture will affect the combustion of gunpowder, and may even explode, so the storage of gunpowder should be dry." Mo Shuyu touched the cannon and turned to look at the school yard full of puddles. "When I went to find Zhang Dabiao, I asked him to ask someone to bring some cement and fill in the school yard first, there were puddles everywhere, not to mention that gunpowder was easy to get damp, and it was difficult to even move."

"Do as he says, I'd like to see what kind of bow ordinary person can pull a stone." Li Xiaogong looked at Mo Shuyu, who was sweating profusely, and hurriedly touched this and looked there. "I can't see it, Sanfeng boy, you usually look like a mess, but you do things one by one."

"Hehe, the prince laughed, usually it's fine, and the laziness of the day is over, now this is something, if I am negligent, it may lead to the sacrifice of tens of thousands of Tang soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Tang people. Mo Shuyu wiped the sweat from his head and watched a few Qianniuwei clumsily adjust the angle of the cannon.

"Yes, that's it, going up means having a long range, and the elevation angle of forty-five degrees is the highest distance. When ignition, you must be careful not to stand behind the artillery, in case the gun is not steady, the recoil can knock you a few feet away. After lighting the fire, squat down and cover your ears to avoid tinnitus. ”

"Raised by a son of a bitch, listen carefully, I didn't hear what the little fairy said, your negligence now may lead to the direction of the entire war, and at the worst, you will have to become a sinner in the Tang Dynasty." Li Xiaogong looked at a few guards who were clumsy, and scolded and scolded.

"Sweat more in peacetime, shed less blood in wartime. Your current hard work is for the sake of better survival on the battlefield in the future, and for more compatriots to live! Mo Shuyu looked at a few guards who didn't care, Li Xiaogong hated the appearance of iron not becoming steel, and said seriously.

"Okay, it's really worthy of being a little fairy, Sanfeng boy's words, I'm like thunder."

Next to the school grounds, Li Shimin, who was patrolling in micro-clothes, was followed by several middle-aged men, except for a few wearing Confucian robes, most of the rest were dressed in martial arts.

"Meet Your Majesty." All the soldiers clasped their fists and saluted.

"Soldiers are exempt, boy Sanfeng, I heard that you are going to test the artillery, and I have come with hundreds of civil and military officials, you have to let me take a good look at the power of the artillery." Li Shimin waved his hand to excuse the soldiers, took Mo Shuyu's hand and said. "If you can't satisfy me, be careful that I drop you on the school floor and let the soldiers watch me whip you."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please stay out of the store, the artillery is domineering, in case of exploding, it will not hurt Your Majesty, anyway, the artillery is also fired thousands of steps away, Your Majesty find a high ground, indicate that to hit that, Sanfeng is guiding the soldiers to hit the wooden mark, and please move Your Majesty."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, go, Zhuqing will follow me to the Wei River, I heard that artillery can attack targets beyond thousands of zhang, I asked Qianniuwei to set up a few straw men in the Wei River, I want to see how domineering the artillery is."

"Your Majesty go slowly, Sanfeng will command the soldiers to calibrate the shooting now, after His Majesty arrives, he will send someone over to say hello, and Sanfeng will open fire, but His Majesty must ensure that there are no animals and animals within a radius of several miles, and now it is a test firing, Sanfeng cannot guarantee that it will hit the target, and the lethality of the earth-shaking thunder is too great, and I am afraid that people and animals will be injured within a hundred zhang."

"Okay, I sent Jin Wuwei to clear the ten miles radius by the Wei River, boy, you can test the fire as much as you want, and I will find a mountain to hide." It is said that Li Shimin beckoned hundreds of civil and military officials and hundreds of soldiers to swing the Weihe River.

---------------------------------

"Inform Your Majesty that I'm ready to shoot." Mo Shuyu waited for Li Shimin to send someone to inform him, pointed out the target location on the map, and commanded several Qianniu guards to adjust the data of the cannon. "Three degrees to the left, thirty-seven elevations, test the first shot, shoot."

"Bang!" As Mo Shuyu's temporarily appointed commander waved the flag, the cannon roared angrily. The entire school field was full of dust, and Mo Shuyu rushed out of the school field like an arrow from the string the moment he said shooting.

"Report the test firing data, reload the cannon, wait for the spies to find out the landing point of the earthquake thunder, immediately calibrate the data, and prepare for the second test launch." Mo Shuyu waited for the dust to clear, and reappeared in the school yard.

"Report, the earth-shattering thunder landing point deviated from the target by 300 meters." The spies came back and pointed out to Mo Shuyu the landing point of the test shot just now, and Mo Shuyu took out a pen and paper and calculated it next to the map.

"Calibration, right seven up, test firing the second shot, launch." After Mo Shuyu finished speaking, he ran out of the school again.

"Little fairy, great joy. The second shot hit the center of the target, and hundreds of straw men ordered by His Majesty to be built shattered to the ground. His Majesty has led hundreds of officials to come in the way, and invited the little fairy to meet him. Mo Shuyu was still drinking homemade iced syrup in the barracks, when he suddenly heard a burst of cheers outside, and hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, just in time to meet the spies who came to report.

Okay, record the data, and I'll tell Your Majesty later, and ask Your Majesty to send a few people who know how to do arithmetic to sort out the data, and then the training will be based on these data. “

"Greetings to Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the cannon hit the target with two test shots, which is a great joy." Mo Shuyu greeted Li Shimin outside the gate, and just after saluting, he looked up, and was greeted by Li Shimin's big feet full of dust.

"Your Majesty, why is that? The test shot hit the target after two shots, Sanfeng not to mention the credit and hard work, why did His Majesty kick Sanfeng when he met? Isn't Your Majesty still holding grudges?" Mo Shuyu covered half of his kicked face and looked at Li Shimin like a resentful woman.

"Hmph, I'm not as eager as you kid. Cannon, your kid's merit is not an exaggeration even if it is the title of the prince of the princes, I kick you to be angry that you hide in the free view for months, and you know the pleasure all day long, if I don't go to you to ask you a plan to break the Turks, do you plan to hide it all the time? Li Shimin picked up Mo Shuyu, who fell to the ground, and comforted him with a good voice. If I know that you still have something to hide in the future, I will hang you on Suzaku Street. Cannons have a great effect on the Turkic War, and when the Turks are defeated, I will be rewarded together, you kid now think about it and ask me what I want when the time comes. ”

"Your Majesty, can I understand this as playing a big stick and giving a date to eat?"
