Gao Ming wanted to surprise Wei Chigong and the others, but he didn't expect it to turn into a fright.

Looking at the scene of people turning on their backs not far away, Li Shimin suddenly opened his mouth wide, revealing a stunned face.

However, he quickly came back to his senses, and he immediately glared at Gao Ming, who looked confused and forced.

Blame me?

Thankfully, only a few suffered some skin injuries from falling off their horses, as the cannon only went off the fire, and most of them were fine.

And Wei Chigong is one of these few people.

"Your Majesty, the old minister's expedition to South Vietnam has never been stabbed or sworded, but I didn't expect to return to Chang'an, but I was frightened by a thunderstorm, which really made Your Majesty smile."

Hearing Wei Chigong's words, Li Shimin immediately shook his head with a wry smile.

"What did Jingde say? You are out for my Tang Dynasty, and you have worked hard, how can I laugh at you because of this little thing? Besides......"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin immediately glared at Gao Ming, and then looked at Wei Chigong apologetically.

"Besides, this is not a thunderbolt, it is the sound of a siege weapon called 'cannon' cast by the prince."

"Siege weapons?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Wei Chigong suddenly came to his senses.

"Your Majesty, what exactly is a 'cannon'? How can it be called a siege weapon? ”

Originally, Gao Ming was still worried about how to solve the oolong incident just now, but now when he heard Wei Chigong's words, he immediately realized the solution.

That's to change the subject!

As long as the topic is changed now, let him forget about this matter for a while, and after this time, it will be too late for him to dwell on this matter!

Thinking of this, Gao Ming suddenly slapped his face.

"Oh, Eguo Gong, you have asked this question too well, why can this cannon be called a siege weapon? The answer is......"

Just as Gao Ming was about to reveal the answer, he suddenly found that Li Shimin glared at him again, so he immediately changed his words wittily.

The answer is...... I said that it is not appropriate, let's let our wise and martial His Majesty the Heavenly Khan say it! ”

After speaking, Gao Ming took a step back, and made a gesture of invitation towards Li Shimin, seeing this scene, Li Shimin and Wei Chigong suddenly showed a sluggish look in unison.

"Uh......"

His Majesty the Khan...... That's a weird name, isn't it?

And most importantly, this sycophant is too explicit, right?

However, Li Shimin is also a veteran of resolving embarrassment, and he immediately coughed dryly.

"Ahem...... The reason why this cannon is called a siege weapon is because it can easily break through the gate of Chang'an City from 400 steps away! ”

"Hiss......"

As soon as Li Shimin's words fell, Wei Chigong immediately gasped.

Wei Chigong was originally a follower of Li Shimin to fight in the south and the north, and it can be said that he has basically been to the entire city of the Tang Dynasty, but when it comes to the strongest city gate, it must be the gate of Chang'an City!

The gate of Chang'an City is a nailed city gate, which is made of solid wood and covered with iron sheets, and the thickness of the city gate alone is more than a foot thick!

Such a city gate is not comparable to those rags in South Vietnam, let alone smashed with a hammer, even if it is hit with a battering ram, it will not be able to help it for a while!

But it was such a city gate, and Li Shimin actually said that it was easily broken by the so-called "cannon"? And it's 400 paces apart?

Isn't that?

That is, Li Shimin told him this, if he changed to an ordinary minister, Wei Chigong would directly spit on his face!

Li Shimin also saw Wei Chigong's thoughts, so he immediately laughed.

"Why is it difficult for Jingde to see the power of this artillery? Prince, you ......"

Hearing Li Shimin call himself, before he could say me, Gao Ming immediately stood up excitedly.

"Father, but do you want me to bombard the Chang'an City Gate again?"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Shimin's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he glared at Gao Ming viciously again.

"You dare!"

“……”

Gao Ming's desire to bombard the Chang'an City Gate again failed, and in Li Shimin's vicious gaze, he could only let people use stones to tire into a rockery, and then adjust the angle of the cannon.

When it was ready, the fuse of the cannon was ignited.

"Boom!"

With a loud roar of a cannon, the rockery made of stones suddenly scattered like a splash of water.

Seeing this scene, Wei Chigong's eyes widened again.

"This ...... This is the cannon? ”

Seeing his shocked appearance, Gao Ming was also completely relieved.

"It seems that now he will no longer pursue the matter of being frightened by the cannon."

In fact, Gao Ming thought too much, because from the beginning, Wei Chigong had no intention of dwelling on this matter, after all, he was a military general of the Tang Dynasty.

As a military general, he fell off his horse, which is not a glorious thing in itself, so no matter what the reason is, he will not pursue this matter, let alone put the responsibility on others!

What's more, Wei Chigong is really attracted by the cannon now.

After the cannon crashed into the rockery, he immediately came to the cannon and looked left and right around it, and his mouth was amazed.

"Tut-tut...... I didn't expect there to be such a sharp weapon in the world, it's amazing...... It's amazing! ”

Wei Chigong is a military general, and he is a general who often attacks cities, so he understands the role of artillery better than most people, and knows better the huge advantages that artillery can bring in war!

So in the next moment, he hugged his fist towards Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, please decree that this cannon will be cast, only twenty ...... No...... As long as there are ten such cannons, Weichen dares to write a military order, and Goguryeo will definitely be defeated within three months! ”

As soon as Wei Chigong's words fell, before Li Shimin could speak, a loud laugh rang out in the crowd.

"Hahahaha...... Brother Jingde can have such momentum, it seems that Brother Jingde should have won a big victory in South Vietnam, but Brother Jingde wants to win the big and small feats of Goguryeo alone, it's too stingy, right? Ha ha! ”

"That's it, Mao Gong is right, Brother Jingde wants to take Goguryeo alone, and I Lao Cheng won't agree, hahahaha!"

Listening to the words of the two, it seems that they have already regarded Goguryeo as something in their pockets.

As soon as the words of the two fell, Wei Chigong turned his head sharply and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

But when he saw the other party clearly, his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

"Mao Gong? Knowing? Why did you come back so soon? ”

In Wei Chigong's view, Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin went to subdue Liuqiu and Luzon, which was a farther distance than his trip to South Vietnam, and even if the war went well, it was impossible to come back so quickly.

What's more, the mission of the two also involved landing operations at sea, and it would take a lot of time to build a ship alone, and it was completely unexpected for the two of them to come back so quickly.

Looking at Yu Chigong's surprised look, Cheng Yanjin laughed again.

"Hahahaha, well, I have to thank His Royal Highness the Prince!"

After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, Li Ji also nodded with a smile.

"Well, that's right, the two of us were able to come back so quickly, and it really depends on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing the words of the two, Yu Chigong looked at Gao Ming again, his eyes full of surprise.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again?"
