Add a new chapter today, and say hello to the readers over there! )

Cheng Zhijie saw that the so-called grenade in Chen Jun's hand was not as big as a fist, so he said disapprerovitically: "What's the use of such a small thing on the battlefield?" ”

The general will find out later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Hold your ears for a while, the explosion is very loud. Wang Haoran said disapprerovitically. He had never seen any of the generals here before, and even the famous Cheng Yanjin could only be called by the general name.

Wang Haoran signaled to Chen Jun, and Chen Jun walked farther away with the red-hot charcoal, and threw the grenade as soon as he lit the fuse.

There was a bang, and even if everyone covered their ears, their heads were still buzzing because of the sound.

"I'll go over and see how big a hole this little thing can blow up." Cheng Zhijie muttered and wanted to walk towards the place where the explosion occurred.

"The general doesn't have to look at it." Wang Haoran stopped, "This grenade can't blow up any craters." ”

"Can't blow up the pit? So what's the use of this thing? Is it scary to rely on sound alone? ”

Cheng Zhijie has always spoken directly, and people who are familiar with him are used to it, but Wang Haoran is not familiar with him! The tone of his words made Wang Haoran feel too arrogant and rude. Wang Haoran had some anger in his heart, so he joked: "The general is so smart, this grenade can really be used to scare people." ”

"Humph! Are the Turks so timid? If they are cowardly, they dare to repeatedly violate my Datang border? "Cheng Zhijie's idea is very simple, if the Turks are timid, then what kind of people are these generals who can't help the Turks?

"Haha...... The general misunderstood. May I ask the general, why are the Turks so difficult? ”

"That's naturally because the Turkic cavalry is highly mobile and condescending on horseback."

"That's right, but I wonder if the general has thought of any other way to deal with cavalry besides knives and spears?" Wang Haoran asked. Seeing that Cheng Zhijie didn't answer for a long time, he continued, "I think it's not just you, general, but even other generals have thought about it, but they haven't thought of a way." ”

The generals were speechless for a while, and just now they were gloating about how Cheng Yanjin was ridiculed by a child, why was he just standing here and not saying anything and being involved?

"In fact, it is not difficult to deal with cavalry, the generals have always thought about how to subdue the war horse, but they have ignored one point, that is, the war horse will not kill, only the cavalry on the horse will kill. In that case, why do we have to subdue the horses? As long as the war horse does not obey the command of the cavalry, as long as the war horse is in chaos, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry will definitely be greatly reduced. ”

"To put it simply, you haven't been on the battlefield yet, what do you understand?" Cheng Zhijie was not convinced.

"Xiao'er, I haven't been on the battlefield, but the general can listen to Xiao'er's whether my method is feasible." Wang Haoran said, "There are many ways to make the war horse not obey the command of the cavalry, throw the grenade just now in the cavalry, and the war horse will definitely scatter, I don't know if this method is feasible?" ”

Cheng Yanjin did not answer Wang Haoran's question, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"Would it be feasible if we had our soldiers carry some tiger urine on them?"

Cheng Biting Jin's eyes lit up, this is a good idea, the tiger occupies the mountain, and no animal dares to approach here as long as he sprinkles a few soaks of urine around, so it must be no problem to deal with war horses. If you don't bite the gold or don't answer, you feel embarrassed when you answer, and these guys around you are waiting to make fun of yourself.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things, you just have to make the soldiers scream loudly."

"Nonsense!" Cheng Yanjin finally waited for something that could be refuted, and whether he could win back face depended on this time, "Which soldier on the battlefield didn't shout, why didn't he see any war horses panic?" ”

"Xiao'er is talking about strange screams, not shouting and killing. The sound of shouting and shouting and killing has been heard a lot, and he has long been accustomed to it. But if the soldiers were to shout differently, such as screaming loudly, the horses would definitely panic. No matter how fierce a war horse is, it is just an animal, and animals are naturally full of fear of the unknown, let alone horses, even tigers dare not approach rashly in the face of unknown things. ”

"How is this possible!"

"Haha...... In the future, the general will have a chance to try. Wang Haoran looked like he loved it or not, so let's seriously talk about the real use of this grenade, "If this grenade is used in actual combat, it can also be wrapped with gravel, and its lethality is not as large as the explosive package, but it is highly accurate, easy to carry, and can be used in all kinds of battlefields." ”

Li Shimin deeply believed that with these two weapons, it was possible to pacify the Turks. However, he still asked: "Before, you said that you can only make these for three days of battlefield, so can there be other ways to use them in the future?" ”

"Of course there is, if you use it well, it's not difficult to kill people outside of a hundred feet." Wang Haoran is still very conservative in what he said, a hundred zhang is only 300 meters, and a sniper rifle in the 21 st century can kill a target one or two kilometers away.

"Really? Can you do it? Li Shimin was surprised.

"Not yet. However, the grass people feel that the emperor of this kind of weapon should find someone else to study, this thing can bully others in his own hands, and if he is accidentally obtained by others, he will be bullied by others. The grass people have a small temple here, and it is difficult to do a good job of secrecy. ”

"So you have a way to do it?"

"There is a way."

"Okay, I'll open an arms division tomorrow, and I'll be the main weapon research and production. Wang Haoran, you are the staff officer of the Arms Department. ”

"Your Majesty! The grass people are merchants, not officials. "Wang Haoran is in a hurry, does he still have his own time when he becomes an official? What about bicycles? What to do with miscellaneous rice? There are so many other things that haven't been created yet, so what about them?

"I forgot about that." Li Shimin woke up.

"Your Majesty, although the grass people can't be officials, the grass people can also draw the use methods they think of, and then hand them over to the Arms Department for research and production." Before Li Shimin thought of other bad ideas, Wang Haoran hurriedly offered his ideas.

"That's fine." Li Shimin suddenly wondered again, "Eh, why do I think you don't want to be an official even if you have an official position?" ”

"The grass people are not good at being officials, and their ambitions are not above the court." Taking advantage of Li Shimin's good mood, Wang Haoran simply admitted it to Li Shimin, lest he make any great achievements in the future, and maybe Li Shimin would make himself an official regardless of his business status.

"Oh? Tell me, where is your ambition? Li Shimin is interested. This kid can write poetry and paint, and Wu can point to the battlefield, I don't know where he wants to develop?

"The grass people's ambition is in the sky, and on the earth, and at the end of the sea." As soon as he talked about his ambitions, Wang Haoran felt a little lonely.

"Today you have offered explosives, and you have made such powerful explosives bags and grenades, and I will give you a good reward, what reward do you want?" Although Li Shimin didn't understand, he saw that Wang Haoran's childish face suddenly became melancholy, which made people feel pity, so he didn't continue to ask. And the issue of rewards is also troublesome, one is that officials cannot be rewarded because of their status, and people don't want them; The second is that there is no reward, the treasury is not sufficient, and attacking the Turks is a big expense. After thinking about it, I simply threw the question to Wang Haoran, I hope he won't open his mouth.

Hearing that he could open his own conditions, Wang Haoran immediately changed his mood and said: "The grass people have a cast iron kiln in the factory, but the imperial court will completely ban private iron casting next year, and the grass people need a cast iron kiln very much. ”

"That's right." Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

After Wang Haoran got his hands on the production methods of explosives, explosive packets, grenades, and leads, Li Shimin led the generals back to the city. On the way back, Li Shimin also asked the generals if they had any other ways to use explosives, and all the generals shook their heads in shame, they couldn't put a fart here, but they were ridiculed by this kid, and they were really aggrieved! Li Shimin didn't blame them, he couldn't think of any other way himself, and sighed to everyone: "Before, Master Yu said that Wang Haoran's kid had to be cultivated well, and I thought so at the time, but at this time, I felt that this son was not something that ordinary people have the ability to cultivate, and I had no choice but to let him grow himself." ”
