Li Zhi in the palace also heard a loud noise, he looked up at the outside of the palace, and shouted, "Come on, go and see what the situation is?" ”

Gonggong Liu promised outside the hall: "Slave, let's go." ”

Li Shuo was also quite curious, "What is this thing coming from, you can know that it is powerful when you listen to the sound." ”

Li Zhi was a little worried, and said, "I hope it's not Li Yuanjing's side that made a move." ”

Soon Gonggong Liu hurriedly ran into the main hall, and even forgot the report. He ran and took two steps, ran to the bookcase, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is overjoyed, your majesty is overjoyed." ”

Li Zhi said: "What a joy? "This is a little inexplicable, this Chang'an city is in full swing, what is the happy event.

Gonggong Liu said, "Your Majesty, the loud noise just now was emitted by a giant cannon newly invented by an official named Lu Chao of the Ministry of Industry, and it was extremely powerful, and a large iron ball weighing dozens of catties was shot from the top of the city tower in front of the rebels' tent. It can be described as shocking, my Datang has such a sharp weapon in hand, and it is not a great joy to go. ”

After listening to this, Li Zhi's heart was agitated, and he said, "Go and drive, I'm going to see it myself." ”

Gonggong Liu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the sword on the city tower has no eyes, if you hurt Your Majesty, how can it be." ”

Li Zhi brushed his sleeves and said slightly angrily: "I, a Tang soldier, am fighting bloodily, how can I not go." You don't need to say much, just prepare. ”

Li Shuo smiled and said, "Your Majesty's move really impresses the old man, quite your father's demeanor back then, don't worry, with the old man here, I want to see who dares to take the lead." ”

Li Zhi arched his hand and said, "Uncle Huang praised it falsely, my father is a wise monarch through the ages, and I am ashamed of myself." There is still a long way to go to reach his height. ”

The first cannonball was a little offset, and it failed to hit the big tent, but it also accurately fell nearby, which caused a lot of psychological impact on the enemy, and the morale must have been exhausted.

Han Xiaofeng adjusted the position according to the landing point of the first shell, and even if he couldn't hit the big tent this time, it would not be much worse.

Han Xiaofeng was picking up a torch and preparing to light a cannon, Li Ji leaned up and said, "Don't order it yet, Your Majesty is here." ”

Han Xiaofeng turned his head and saw Li Zhi, who was holding the moon in the stars, walking towards the city tower surrounded by a large group of guards, didn't you come here to increase the pressure on me, what if I can't get hit.

Li Zhi climbed the city tower, everyone saluted, Li Zhi said, "In extraordinary times, all the soldiers do not need to be polite." I heard that someone had invented a powerful artillery, so I took a look. ”

Li Ji pointed at Lu Chao and said, "It was invented by this little brother in the Ministry of Engineering, and the power is indeed huge, and even I was shocked." ”

Li Zhi saw the dark and shiny barrel in the light of the torch, and muttered, "It's really amazing, come, let go of another cannon and take a look, just now I can feel its power from afar." ”

The others just wanted to gather the torches so that Li Zhi could see more clearly.

Han Xiaofeng said, "Your Majesty, I just got my hands on this cannon, and I'm not very good at operating it, so don't blame me if you can't hit it." ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Li Zhi said, "I don't blame you, but when the time comes, you have to write down your experience and circulate it to the three armies in the future." ”

Han Xiaofeng saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." "This Li Zhi really has some ability, and he thought of this so early.

Han Xiaofeng motioned for everyone to retreat farther away so as not to be injured by the anti-shock force of the artillery. He held his breath and slowly approached the newly installed lead, only to hear a loud thud followed by a loud thud as the iron ball roared towards the rebel camp.

Li Yuanjing was about to evacuate the camp when he heard a loud roar again, and before he could react, he saw that the wounded and sick camp was directly razed to the ground. Suddenly screamed again and again, and corpses were scattered all over the field.

Xue Wanche said angrily, "Lord Wang, why does Chang'an have such a terrifying weapon, this iron ball can make our army suffer so many casualties." ”

Li Yuanjing's face turned pale, and he said angrily, "I know a fart, it must be that Yang Xiu's husband betrayed the king and didn't tell the truth." ”

At this time, Li Ke, who was most greedy for life and afraid of death, was extremely sober-minded. He said, "Lord Wang, I don't think that's necessarily the case, haven't you noticed that they only launch an iron ball every once in a while?" The other gates were not released, presumably for the camp, and there were only a limited number of them. As long as we evacuate the camp and wait until he runs out of iron balls, he will be fine. ”

Li Yuanjing thought for a while and said, "Brother Li has a point. "Come on, let that group of Jianghu warriors who only eat and don't do anything go upstairs and destroy the thing that launched the iron ball for me."

Not long after, a group of people with various weapons and strange costumes appeared in front of the camp. The leader was a masked man in black with a black knife, and if Han Xiaofeng was present, he would be able to recognize this person as the black knife ghost slave who had repeatedly taken his life.

A burst of smoke dissipated, only to see Li Zhi stunned, his body staggered a little, and after stabilizing his figure, he only heard him say excitedly, "It's really God bless the Tang Dynasty, with such a divine soldier, why worry about the thief and the barbarian can't be broken." ”

Everyone knew that if they didn't pat on the back at this time, they would wait even longer, and they knelt down and said, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Li Zhi said: "Everyone loves Qing, why didn't the Ministry of Industry report it earlier if it has such a sharp weapon." ”

Lu Chao said, "Back to Your Majesty, this cannon was just completed last night, and it hasn't had time to test fire yet, so there are a lot of potential safety hazards, and it was just brought up." ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I don't want to blame you." Lu Chao, when the battle is over, I will reward you. ”

Lu Chao saluted again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen." ”

When the smoke cleared after the cannon fire, everyone looked into the distance, and a large number of camps fell in between.

Han Xiaofeng sighed and said, "It's a pity that I still failed to hit the big tent of the Chinese army." ”

Li Zhi looked at the wooden box at his feet, and there were two black cone-shaped ammunition in it. He said, "It's okay, don't be discouraged, isn't there still two, and if you fight again, it's good if you can't beat it and boost morale." ”

Han Xiaofeng breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'll cheer us up and release two more fucking cannons." ”

Han Xiaofeng originally wanted to lower the angle a little, after all, how far this conical cannonball can hit and how lethal it is, it is estimated that even Lu Chao himself does not know.

The conical cannonball was fired with a thud, and the sound was even sharper and piercing, as if the air had been torn apart.

Three or four miles behind the camp, a group of people were carrying small bags of things and preparing to set up camp.

Li Ke heard the sound and said coldly: "Hmph, I don't believe that you can still beat me here." ”

Xue Wanche said: "Brother Li, don't be a crow's mouth." ”

As soon as the words fell, they heard the sharp voice getting closer and closer, and before they could react, they heard a loud bang, and the camp that had not yet been set up was directly blown up into a big hole, and Li Yuanjing and the three of them were blown unconscious before they knew what was going on.

Han Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "Brother Lu, what kind of cannonball are you doing, you flew too far, you can't see it, and you don't know if you hit it or not." ”

Lu Chao touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "I don't know about this kind of shell, I just think that it can hit far in this way, and I really don't know how powerful it is." ”

This time, Han Xiaofeng didn't care, changed the lead and gunpowder, lowered the position of the barrel a little, and sent out the last shell without reservation.

Taking advantage of the effort to change the lead, the uninjured guards hurriedly rescued the prince's horses and sent them to the camp for treatment, but this was just halfway to the end of the road when a cannonball fell from the sky and exploded. Maybe this is the providence of God, I didn't hit it for a long time, but the last two shots were inadvertently hit in succession.
