"This is ......." Li Shimin couldn't help but be moved when he saw the scene on the hill. Originally, there were many huge stones on the hill, but at this moment, these stones were smashed apart by a black cannonball!

What's more, it was launched from a mile away!

Can a cannonball from a mile away shatter a boulder? Or is it such a huge range? If this thing is used to conquer a city or smash into a pile of people.........

Li Shimin's breathing suddenly became short. "Chen Fei! The secret ingredient for this thing....... Can you give it to someone else? Or is someone else aware of it? Li Shimin almost gritted his teeth and said.

If such a terrible weapon leaks out, Datang will undoubtedly experience a huge turmoil!

"Back to Your Majesty, the secret recipe for this thing is known only to the craftsmen who made it, except for me. Your Majesty can rest assured that these craftsmen are all strictly controlled, and it is impossible for them to leak the secret recipe! ”

"So good! Later, you can copy a copy of the secret recipe and give it to me, and I will keep it well! Remember, I must keep an eye on these craftsmen, and I must not say a word about the secret recipe! ”

Chen Fei nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Weichen can guarantee it!" ”

"Yes." Li Shimin nodded reassuringly, and then stepped forward excitedly, squatting next to the pit smashed by the cannonball.

"Terrible! It's really horrible! It's much scarier than a catapult! Li Shimin seemed to be distracted and muttered a conclusion.

Li Jing also nodded with a serious face. "Your Majesty, this thing is too domineering, but on the battlefield, it must be a big killing weapon, and its attack effect is no less than that of a thunderbolt, and even more so during the siege of the city!"

Li Zhi saw this scene, his eyes lit up with golden light, and his admiration for Chen Fei could not be expressed in words, in short, it was very awesome!

"Yes! This cannon is truly terrifying, this power... I'm afraid that if I come a few more times, a slightly worse city will not be able to bear it, right? ”

Chen Fei smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, the power of a cannon is not fired by a single cannonball, but by dozens of cannons fired together!" That power, no matter how strong the city is, can't resist it! ”

"Dozens of cannons?" Li Shimin and Li Jing's eyes lit up instantly, and then the two of them stared at Chen Fei deadly, and there was a trace of excitement in their tones.......

"This thing... How many are there now? ”

"There are currently ten cannons in red. However, there were fifteen Furlong cannons. "The cannons are all personally supervised by Chen Fei, so he naturally knows the quantity well.

"How long does it take to build one?" Li Shimin then asked, and at the same time, his voice trembled a little because of excitement.

"If we can build a little more people, we can do two in six days. It is currently one every six days. The Furlong cannon is a little more cumbersome to make, and may take a little longer. "The parts of the Franc cannon are more complex than those of the cardinal cannon, so it takes a little more time to manufacture.

"By the way, this Franc cannon ......." Li Shimin looked around and found that a large hole had been smashed in a piece of land in the distance, so he walked over.

In the center of the pit was a black cannonball, which looked a little smaller than the shell of the redcoat cannon.

Since there are no stones in the range of the Furlong machine, it is impossible to make a direct comparison with the redcoat cannon, but the visual power is a little smaller.

"This cannon is not good, the power is small, and all the red-coated cannons will be made in the future, and the speed of manufacturing will be fast." Li Shimin simply abandoned the Francophone cannon in terms of power, and Li Jing and Li Zhi seemed to agree.

Chen Fei suddenly felt bitter and couldn't smile. Abandon the Furlong cannon? It's a lot more powerful than the redcoat cannon.

Although the direct attack is not as strong as the red-coated cannon, it is because Chen Fei deliberately designed it to be small, if it is designed to be as big as the red-coated cannon, the power is simply not too strong!

The reason why it is designed to be small is because of its mobility!

As big as a red-coated cannon, it was very troublesome to move, and it would be very troublesome once there was a large-scale cavalry force of the enemy, and for this reason, Chen Fei made it smaller.

Although it is smaller, the power is not much smaller, and the rate of fire of the Franc cannon is three times that of the redcoat cannon!

The red-coated cannon fired one shot, and the Fran cannon fired three shots, and this second shot... Ahem, ahem, it's short and concise, it's this kind of weapon.

If you encounter cavalry, a red-coated cannon is estimated to only kill a dozen people, at most two cannons, and then you can only abandon the short soldiers, but the Fran cannon can fire six cannons during this time, and the number of people killed is more than fifty people, who is higher than whom?

But Li Shimin didn't understand, so he simply thought that what was powerful was good, and what was bad was bad...... Well, not for now! Let's put it in for now!

Chen Fei had no choice but to explain to Li Shimin with a bitter face, and with the explanation, he also asked the two cannons to make a demonstration.

"Boom!" The sound of the red-clothed cannon was still full of energy, and it shook people's ears.

But ....... "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "When the redcoat cannon was loading the second shell, the Fran cannon fired three shells in a row!

And at this time, Li Shimin and Li Jing also discovered the fatal flaw of the red-coat cannon - it was too slow to reload!

That's right! It's just too slow! By the time the redcoat cannon fired its second shot, the Furlong cannon had already fired its fourth shot!

"Although this thing is domineering, it also has shortcomings, if it encounters local troops in the field, I am afraid that it will suffer a big loss!" Li Jing touched his beard and said. With this kind of reload speed, if you really encounter the enemy in the field, I'm afraid you won't even be able to fire the first shot!

In comparison, the Franc cannon is much better, with a high rate of fire, no less than the range of the redcoat cannon, and a slightly weaker power, in comparison, there is no doubt that the choice of the Franc cannon is correct.

However........ "Your Majesty, Grandpa Guo, according to the minister's view, these two cannons have their own advantages. Although the Red Cannon's speed is slow, its range and power are its strengths, making it suitable for defending and attacking cities. The speed of the Furlong cannon is an advantage, and it can be used in field encounters or water battles on ships. Both have their own advantages and can complement each other's shortcomings, which is why Chen developed two kinds of cannons. ”

"Yes!" Li Shimin thought for a while and nodded. "Not bad, not bad! The power of this thing is really good! Chen Fei, good job! With this artifact, Datang... Who else will you be afraid of? ”

Suddenly, Li Shimin's expression moved, and he leaned into Chen Fei's ear and whispered: "Chen Fei, I want you to make more cannons, ask people to give people, ask for things, ask for money, but you have to get things done!" I... Maybe it's going to be a big move! ”

Chen Fei had already guessed that Li Shimin was going to attack the surrounding territories, but he didn't know who would be unlucky this time.

"Minister... Obey! ”

Li Shimin smiled and smiled with satisfaction. Suddenly, he came to Chen Fei's side again, and his indifferent voice seemed to have no emotion.

"Chen Fei, I heard... You and Linchuan... Have a personal affair? ”
