Ashina Tusu's camp tent, a Han youth wearing a strong suit sat opposite him, as the largest tribal leader under the Turkic king's tent, Ashina Tusu shouldered the most arduous combat mission, the grassland suffered a white disaster this year, from the Mid-Autumn Festival the heavy snow has not stopped, the situation of the herdsmen is not better than the drought of the Tang people, just when Jieli Khan was ready to contact the tribes to go south to plunder the Tang Dynasty, a Han man came to Jieli's camp, he said that he has the ability to let the Turkic army go straight into Guanzhong, even entered Chang'an, the richest capital of the Tang Dynasty, facts have proved that he really did it, this young Han man is called Dou Yingshan, his identity may be more expensive than Li Er a few years ago, and Dou Jiande, the largest warlord leader in the late Sui Dynasty, is his father.

"Our army has approached the capital of the Tang people, as long as we take Chang'an, do Brother Dou think that my Turks will not be able to establish a state in the Central Plains?" Ashina Tu Su is not very old, he is very burly, and his face is square, among the Turks, he is a standard handsome guy, but Dou Yingshan has an ordinary face, his father is the leader of the peasant uprising, he still has a trace of peasant breath in his bones, in Datang, throw him into the pile, it is absolutely difficult to find him out of it when he turns around.

"Turkic warriors are heroes on horseback, but leaving the grassland and horseback, the Han people have a hundred ways to kill you, if you want to survive permanently, you must return to the grassland, nesting in a city with four walls will shorten the sight of the grassland warriors, when the five Hu are chaotic, you Hu people are strong for a while, but the final result proves that the good mountains and rivers of the Central Plains are not suitable for your nomads, so, instead of building a country in the Central Plains, it is better to support a Han people who can support you to take charge of the Central Plains, The Tibetans and the Xiongnu are very interested in your pastures, but you can rest assured, as long as I capture the Central Plains, I will provide you Turks with the grain and grass they need every year, and I will welcome you to come to the Central Plains at any time when the grassland is white. ”

Dou Yingshan is the same as the scorpion, he is a rebel, but he takes a different route from the scorpion, his foundation is in Hebei, but he went around a big circle to contact the Western Turks to attack Chang'an, as long as the Western Turks can successfully take Chang'an City, his forces in Hebei will be launched immediately, and in the shortest possible time to become a strong army after the opening of the Central Plains troubled times, and then gradually devour the entire Central Plains.

There are no eternal enemies and eternal friends on the political zhì, Ashina Tusu needs Dou Yingshan's help to enter the customs to attack Chang'an City, Dou Yingshan needs the Turks to dismantle the Tang Dynasty regime to give him the opportunity to create an uprising, so at this moment, the words of the two are hypocritical, when their goals are achieved, who will care about the other party's life or death! Perhaps the slogan of the Dou Ying Mountain uprising was to expel the Turks from the country!

When the red sun rose in the east, Gu Yue Daowen climbed out of the cabin, a moon-white robe has become black, there are many places where the pulley unit and bearing need to be oiled, which is also regarded by Yanglin as a secret of the operation of the power system, which has to be completed by Gu Yue Daowen himself, the boom truck is hanging the iron cast cannon barrel weighing thousands of catties to the deck, this time a total of two naval transport ships have been refitted, twelve titanium steel alloy shotguns are distributed on two ships, three on the left and right sides of the ship, The work of installing the shotgun is personally commanded by Yang Lin, which is not a big secret, if there is any secret to the shotgun, it is the design of the position of the bolt, which is difficult to see once it is cast, as for the gunpowder used for launching, it is the top secret of Datang, and the possibility of having both is very low, unless you rob the current two ships, and after another day, Yang Lin can be regarded as completing the perfect combination of shotgun and water steamer.

"Your Majesty, each muzzle will transfer five internal servants to me, the person who operates the boat can be a naval army general or an internal attendant, but you have to explain it, if the two buffaloes with their ears do not stop, the water steamer will not stop sailing, the boat operator and the cattle driver must have a loud voice, it is best to have a soldier who is responsible for communication to maintain communication with the flag, first adapt to the adaptation before you can start to practice the battle, and also, mobilize your subordinate ministers to start picking up stones on the bank of the Weishui River!" The more the merrier. ”

Li Er and a cadre of civil and military ministers waited for two days in the naval camp before they saw the modified water wheel, looking at the two huge water wheels at the tail of the water wheel, everyone was estimating how much force such a large water wheel would need to promote, and how much sustained strength it would need to make the ship continue to sail on the water.

The water wheel began to move, it moved very briskly, the ship began to sail forward, sailing against the current, as soon as it started, it was faster than the highest power of all the five tooth ships, the two wings of the big water wheel in addition to helping to propulsion, but also played the left and right of the rudder, which can make the ship quickly turn left and right, and the propeller hidden under the water is the real propulsion system of the big ship, three propellers started at the same time, and the wooden water ship actually ran out of the speed of almost a galloping horse in the case of going against the water.

"This, this ······"

The exclamations came from the shore, and the envoys of the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo were the most excited, and Gu Yue Daowen waved his black sleeves on the reef on the shore to accept the cheers of the crowd, while his gaze stayed on the faces of the envoys of the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo for a few more moments.

"Father, before Xiao Linzi boarded the ship, it seems that you ordered everyone to pick up stones together, although the retainers don't know the intention, but Xiao Linzi must have a clever use to say so." Li Ke has no doubts that the water steamer can quickly sail on the water, and he has studied with Gu Yue Daowen for a period of time, and he has also learned scientific principles, in the case of the lack of iron in the Tang Dynasty, Yanglin will not let the shotgun extravagantly use steel balls to make bullets, and the hard and smooth pebbles can act as shotguns, there are many of these things on the banks of the Weishui River, just use local materials, so, under Li Er's order, the ministers ignored the cold wind by the river and the cold stones, and all started to move, The pebbles quickly piled up into a hill and began to enlarge continuously.

Yang Lin waited for the ship to be far away from the shore before he began to talk to the chamberlains about the operation principle of the shotgun, if it was not to open the gun chain, load the amount of gunpowder, stones, lay the lead, close the gun chain, ignite and fire, and then open the gun chain after the work, clean up the barrel and gun chamber residue, and reload, the whole process was about three minutes, Yang Lin's ship made a big turn in the middle of the river, and the side of the ship loaded with gunpowder stone bullets was aimed at the open space on the opposite bank, Yang Lin ordered everyone to wear the large earplugs that had been prepared, open their mouths, wave the flag, and ignite.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Three loud bangs, three tongues of fire erupted from the barrel, thick smoke instantly rose from the deck of the steamer, Yang Lin fanned hard a few times before finding a position that could be observed with a telescope, a hundred meters above the shore, three clusters of soil splashed in a radius of several zhang, and the stones hit the dirt with a puff.

"Oh, the test shot was successful, the range is about 100 meters, and it should be able to hurt both people and horses." Yang Lin put away the binoculars, and asked the slightly panicked chamberlain to raise the muzzle of the gun a little more, clear the chamber, and fill it with gunpowder stones, when the steamer turned around again on the water, and the side of the ship was aimed at the opposite shore.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Three loud noises came again, this time about twenty meters more than the previous distance, it should be the limit of this batch of ballistic shotguns, Yang Lin not only used his mobile phone to pinch the time of the ignition and fuse of the order, but also calculated the trajectory, and the time of the bullet flying, and after getting a batch of numbers, he was satisfied with the binoculars and mobile phone and ordered to return, but he didn't know that Li Er on the shore had been surrounded by guards in this process, and the panicked Wenchen generals were even far away from the river bank, if Yang Lin had just fired the cannon in the direction of the bank, I don't know how many people can be killed by the rain-like stones.

"Get out of the way."

Li Er's roar was very loud, Yang Lin naturally wouldn't shoot at him, and neither would the chamberlain who had undergone special training since childhood, this kid was right, such a killing weapon can't be used all over the world, in case it is mastered by others, he won't even be able to sleep well.

Li Er boarded the ship accompanied by several ministers, and people from the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, and some other forces begged people everywhere to ask for help, wanting to get on the ship to see what was going on, but they couldn't buy people at the level of the duke and prince, at least now on the ship, except for the dukes and above, there is no outsider there.

Li Er had a comprehensive understanding of the ship's power system and the operating principle of the shotgun, of course, this did not mean that other ministers could too, they could only stay on the deck and discuss what kind of names should be given to these two peerless treasures.

Du Ruhui first got up, after some agreement, gave the shotgun a bull fork name "Shenwei Cannon", this name was recognized by everyone, and then the naming of the two water ships, Zhang Liang, the governor of the navy, thought that it should be named Chengfeng and Breaking Waves, the ministers did not think so, they felt that it should be named after the manufacturer, one was the Guyue, the other was the Yanglin, and the Yanglin and the Guyue Daowen, who had walked up and down with Li Er, quickly denied their names after returning to the deck, The overall structure of these two transport ships is not very solid, the tonnage is not enough, it seems to be very light and fluttering under the operation of the power system, the movement of the shotgun is very large every time, the main structure of these two ships does not know how long it can last, after coping with this war, the shotgun must be unloaded from the ship, if these two ships can still be used at that time, at most they will return to the original establishment and be used as a transport ship, Yanglin does not want to appear in the history of Datang with a short-lived warship named after himself, At least you have to let yourself build a steelclad ship in order to use your own name, on this point, Gu Yue Daowen also has the same opinion, and in the end, these two modified ships were named Chengfeng and Breaking Waves, which belonged to the naval army, and the Heavenly Grant Horse Zhongwu Hou Yanglin temporarily commanded Chengfeng, and the crown prince Li Chengqian commanded the Breaking Waves.

The ministers didn't stay long on the ship before they were sent ashore by Li Er, and their task was to pick up stones, which were the bullets of the Shenwei cannon. Li Ke's temporary gunpowder workshop in a relatively remote part of the camp worked overtime day and night to catch up, and even Li Tai also came to the side to help, for gunpowder, the three brothers all had an extra mind.

The Wind and the Breaking Waves sailed back and forth on the wide water to adapt, and the entire Tang Dynasty garrisoned in Weishui was less than three thousand, but the atmosphere in the camp seemed to not take the upcoming 100,000 Turkic army into account at all, late at night, Ma Yongquan, the chief of the inner guards, personally led the team, leading all the secret guards including the deputy chief manager to urge Erfan to board the opposite side of the bank slope, each of them carried a big basket on their backs, and tinkered in the wilderness on the opposite bank for half the night before quietly returning, No one knew about the whole process, except for the crews of the two ships who were responsible for transporting them across the river.
