Chapter 86: Pulling
As the dense targets in front fell to the ground, the crowd also let out bursts of exclamations, praising one after another, this is a miracle, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted for a while, and no one doubted whether this war with the Turks could be won!
"Your Majesty!" After the first round of test firing, the herald hurriedly reported to Li Shimin: "Of the 320 targets, except for 13 missing, all the rest fell to the ground, please show your majesty!" ”
"Go on!" Although Li Shimin was happy about such a result, in front of everyone, he could only pretend to give orders as if nothing happened!
"Just like that?" Li Siyuan, who received the order, suddenly had a headache, the current artillery may not have a problem for large-scale targets, but it is even more difficult to hit 13 small humanoid targets in such a large range!
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, but as soon as the military order was given, he had to complete the task, so he shouted like Cheng Biting Jin: "All the gunners listen to the order, the 13 humanoid targets in front of the target, shoot freely, fuck it!" ”
I had never seen Li Siyuan so rude, and after the gunners heard the order, they were all slightly stunned, and then they started firing freely according to the order!
The roar of the artillery, one after another, was stronger than the other, until the opposite side was dusty, and the dust completely obscured his sight, and Li Siyuan ordered to stop firing.
The breeze was blowing, and soon the achievements became weaker and fainter, and people's sights gradually became clearer, and when the dust completely cleared, only the farthest handle was still standing tenaciously there!
Li Shimin frowned and looked at Li Siyuan, the meaning was obvious, he was asking why there was still a target standing there, this was simply the biggest provocation to him, the emperor!
I just wanted to explain that the current artillery is used for large-scale operations, and there is no way to strike accurately, but before he could speak, a breeze blew on the ground, and the target broke off in response to the wind and lay on the ground!
"Hahaha......." Li Shimin laughed wildly: "God really helps me, it seems that God intends to bless my Tang Dynasty, this battle will be won, Zhuqing can rest assured!" ”
"Datang will win!" Li Siyuan was the first to react, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead while kneeling and shouting! More than a hundred artillery men under his command also hurriedly followed the wind and knelt down and shouted!
The civil and military officials present and the soldiers standing guard around them all followed suit when they saw this situation, and for a while, the shouts of Datang in the royal training ground for a long time ceased, covering wave after wave!
"Go back to the palace, hahaha....." Faced with such a situation, Li Shimin was naturally very happy, and after giving the order, he walked towards the palace!
The first appearance of the artillery achieved complete results, Li Siyuan was happy that the people under his command were the same, after a burst of cheers, Li Siyuan motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "This time the test firing, Your Majesty is very satisfied, everyone has worked hard!" Presumably you all know, the day after tomorrow we will go to the front line, we will go back for a while, let's celebrate, and then give everyone a night off, you can go home and say goodbye to your family, tomorrow morning we must go back to the camp Let's practice again, practice our skills, we can get more military industry on the battlefield! ”
After saying this, he glanced at these artillery soldiers with his eyes, and saw that they were grinding their fists one by one, eager to try, and his heart was a lot more steady, and then he announced the disbandment, each went back to his own home, and found his own mother!
The celebration banquet in the evening was very simple, nothing more than drinking and eating, entertainment programs, that is, there were so many soldiers and captains and the like who came out to perform wrestling!
I have to mention that in the process of the banquet, Li Shimin sent a holy decree, directly appointing Li Siyuan as General Yunlu, giving him a scarlet general robe, and Li Shimin also handed over his own set of black armor to Li Siyuan, and at the same time, the holy decree clearly pointed out that Li Siyuan's artillery battalion in this operation was in charge of him alone, and he only needed to report to Li Shimin!
A general from the third rank will not mention it for the time being, this order that only needs to be reported to Li Shimin alone gives Li Siyuan great power!
It's not that Li Shimin doesn't want to restrain Li Siyuan, it's just that artillery is a new thing, except for him Li Siyuan, no one in the entire Datang can play it!
It is very simple to restrain Li Siyuan, just send him a few prison guards, but in this way, letting the layman spy on the insider will have a suspicious reputation, and secondly, it will not be conducive to his own battle, so Li Shimin does not give Li Siyuan too many constraints, and let him play freely may be able to achieve unexpected results!
Soon came the date of the expedition, during which Li Siyuan was not able to go back to his home, he was too busy, and he had to check the maintenance of the artillery, the number of shells, and the number of * He also went to Li Shimin to apply for 5,000 Xuanjia soldiers to protect the artillery soldiers to fight with peace of mind!
The war of 100,000 people naturally requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but it is impossible for all of these 100,000 troops to gather in Chang'an, and if you want to get enough of 100,000 people, you need to gather more troops from the surrounding garrisons while marching!
There were only more than 30,000 soldiers from Chang'an City, including many troops stationed nearby!
Although 30,000 people are nothing for this war in which more than 200,000 people participated, for the people of Chang'an City, this kind of scene can be described as a rare sight, and many people gathered at the gate of the city early in the morning, ready to send off the soldiers!
Among them, Li Siyuan's wife and parents are indispensable, Li Siyuan is sitting on a horse, wearing black armor, and behind him is his most conspicuous artillery unit, which looks majestic!
didn't say anything to his family, just simply nodded at them, this was his first real journey, and it was the first time to go into battle to kill the enemy, he knew that his family couldn't rest assured, but he had no choice but to use practical actions to prove that he had grown up!
The mighty team drove on the bumpy road, except for the sound of horses' hooves and wheels, which shows how strict the discipline of the Tang Lion Army is!
Cheng Biting Jin, who has always liked to ridicule Li Siyuan, this time it was unusual, when he passed by Li Siyuan's side, he just said solemnly: "Boy, this is your first time on the battlefield, everything must be careful, you Uncle Cheng and I will go to take revenge, so I can't take care of protecting you, we must remember, don't rush for quick success!" ”
Li Siyuan knew that Cheng Yanjin must be in a very bad mood when he lost his son in old age, and he didn't forget to remind himself at this time, and he was already very grateful in his heart: "Thank you Uncle Cheng for your kind words, my little nephew must remember it!" ”
Without any extra words, Cheng Yanjin nodded and urged the horse to go straight to the front army!
Looking at the long line and Cheng Yanjin's lonely back, Li Siyuan touched the scene and began to chant poetry loudly:
In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned.
But let Chang'an Cheng's family be there, and do not teach the Turks to Taiyuan.
