"Son-in-law, see father!" Li Su entered the Liangyi Hall and saw that Li Shimin was doing wholesale folding behind the bookcase, so he immediately stepped forward and walked to salute, and Yuwen Hu also followed.

"Well, get up!" Li Shimin raised his hand and said, until he finished reading the folds in his hand, then he raised his head and looked at Li Su, but found that his face was gloomy, and the two dark circles on his eyes were very eye-catching, and he smiled at the moment, "Liulang, although you are a newlywed, you must also be restrained, it is not good to be too indulgent at a young age." ”

Li Su was stunned after hearing this, remembering that he told Wen Xin the story for most of the night last night, the complexion on his face today must not be good, plus he is newly married, no wonder Li Shimin misunderstood.

"Yes, the son-in-law Jin respects the teachings of his father!" Although Li Yu shouted in his heart that he was wronged, but this matter could not be said clearly, if people knew that he and Xiao Wenxin had not yet had the same room in Chapter 114, how others would talk about it, it was estimated that Li Shimin and Xiao Yu alone could tear him into pieces of meat and swallow him raw.

"Rokuro and Yuwen Aiqing came to look for me, but what's the matter?" Li Shimin put down the fold, and finally noticed Yuwen Hu in the back, feeling a little strange in his heart, and couldn't understand why the two of them came together, so he asked.

"Father, Erchen is here with Lord Yuwen today, there is an extremely important thing for my father to watch." Li Su bowed and replied.

"Oh? Could it be that the prison will make some new kind of smoke? Li Shimin frowned, he knew that Li Su handed over the smoke to the general as the supervisor, and now that the two of them came to find him together, it naturally reminded him of the smoke huā. But if it's really for a cigarette huā to disturb his own review of the recital, Li Su is too ignorant.

"Father, although this thing has something to do with smoke, it's not for people to watch, but for killing!" When Li Su said the last sentence, his tone became a little cruel, and the appearance of gunpowder marked the official entry of thermal weapons onto the stage of history, and the emergence of thermal weapons. will directly change the form of human warfare.

In the era of cold weapons, Chapter 114 is invincible, and although the battle seems to be very tragic, in fact, only a few people die directly on the battlefield, and most of the people who die are because they are injured and do not have good medical treatment. But thermal weapons are different, a shell goes down, a radius of more than ten meters or even hundreds of meters is within the killing range, a war, tens of thousands of people die is like playing. For example, in World War I and World War II in later generations, millions of lives were filled in. If this is placed in the era of cold weapons, it is estimated that the war with millions of deaths will have to be fought for at least tens or hundreds of years, of course. Massacres of civilians are not counted, only the number of soldiers killed is counted here.

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, the things used to kill people were also related to the brilliant smoke huā, which made him a little curious, and asked again: "Liulang, what is it?" ”

"This ......" Li Su didn't know how to explain it, and he only spoke in the vernacular, even if he said it. Li Shimin also found it hard to believe, so he could only say after a deep sigh, "Father, you better go out and take a look for yourself, this thing is a weapon used to equip my Tang army, and it has the power of opening mountains and cracking stones." The retainers were afraid of danger, so they did not dare to bring them to the main hall. ”

Li Shimin listened to what Li Su said so magically, and Li Su has always been able to do something new, so Li Shimin still believes in his words very much. Immediately stood up and came to the westernmost martial arts arena of the Imperial City with Li Su and Yuwen Hu, which was the place where Qianniuwei practiced, which was safe and secluded. Don't worry about disturbing others, there are now several large boxes on the martial arts arena, and the weapons in them are the weapons that Li Su said.

Li Shimin wanted to go to the box to see what was going on, but Li Su and Yuwen Hu disagreed, gunpowder weapons are no better than others, in case of accidental fire and explosion, it will hurt others, if Li Shimin is injured, it is estimated that even Li Su's son will not end well, let alone Yuwen Hu, who desperately persuaded Li Shimin.

Next, Li Shimin and Li Su watched from behind, and Yuwen Hu walked to the side of the box, and the commander opened the first long box, and lifted a large iron cylinder the thickness of one person from inside, and placed it far away in the field, and asked people to bring many stone slabs, stone strips and other things to pile on it, forming a small stone mountain.

Then he personally connected the lead, pulled it for a long time, and then stopped, and made a gesture to Li Su, indicating that everything was ready. Li Su also saw the effect of this thing for the first time, and was afraid that Li Shimin would be a little close to him, so he stepped forward and said: "Father, we are still a little close, do you think you should step back again?" ”

"No, my father was also a person who fought on the battlefield back then, what danger haven't I seen?" Li Shimin's face was a little unhappy, thinking that Li Su was too careful and did not have the demeanor he had back then. Li Su saw that there was no way, so he could only ask Yuwen Hu to prepare the fire, and at the same time let the surrounding guards prepare their shields, and if there was any gravel thrown over, it would be better to cover it.

After Yuwen Hu received Li Su's order, he immediately lit the lead, and then threw down the torch and ran, the lead behind him smoked all the way to the stone mountain, and when Yuwen Hu ran to Li Su's side, the lead also just burned to the head, and then Li Su felt that the whole world was suspended for a while, and then a loud sound of "boom~", like a thunderbolt in the heavens, shook the earth and trembled.

Li Su saw the stone mountain in the distance explode violently, and countless pieces of rubble and dust flew everywhere, almost obscuring half of the sky. And they still didn't stand far enough, there were a lot of gravel rushing towards this side with the sound of the wind, Li Su saw that many of the guards around him collapsed to the ground with weak legs, and they couldn't stand up no matter how they stood, and they couldn't raise their shields to defend themselves.

Li Su was startled when he saw this situation, and directly grabbed a guard's shield in front of Li Shimin, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Escort, give me up to escort!" ”

After all, these guards were well-trained, and they were just stupid by the shocking scene in front of them just now, and when they heard Li Su's roar, many people immediately reacted, and immediately gathered around Li Shimin to raise their shields to defend themselves.

I only heard the chaotic sound of "ping pong" on the shield, and Li Su also felt that the shield in his hand was hit by a few stones, and his hand sank and almost didn't hold it steady.

After all, Li Shimin is a generation of emperors, and he has been in battle for a long time, so his courage is naturally not comparable to ordinary people, but even so, his face is still pale with shock, and his arms are trembling slightly. When he saw Li Su and them protecting him in front of him, he reacted, settled down and maintained a good demeanor, and when Li Su looked back, he returned to the human emperor who collapsed in front of Mount Tai and his face did not change.

"Rokuro, what's the name of this thing?" The dust at the explosion site had not yet fallen, and he couldn't see the situation inside clearly, Li Shimin pulled Li Su and asked eagerly, but he didn't notice that his voice became dry and astringent.

"Father, this is a blaster made of gunpowder, which is mainly used to blow up the opponent's city gate or wall during the siege." Li Su replied seriously, but at the same time he smiled secretly in his heart, it turns out that the emperor's father will also be afraid and nervous?

"Blasters? Good! Good stuff! Li Shimin rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "Quick, take me to see how it works!" After speaking, he didn't care about the dust in front of him, and rushed in, Li Su and Yuwen Hu had no choice but to follow.

When I walked to the surface, I found that the stone mountain composed of stones just now had disappeared without a trace, and there were some broken stones all around, and the closer to the explosion point, the more broken stones, and when I put the blasting canister, I found that there was a deep pit in a radius of several meters on the ground, and there was even green smoke emitting from the pit, and the explosive canister was completely missing.

"Hiss~" Li Shimin and the guards around him gasped. Cool air, in their cognition, apart from the power of heaven and earth, it is difficult for them to imagine anything else that can have such power? But the facts are in front of them, they just saw with their own eyes, the master craftsman Yu Wenhu put a big iron cylinder under the stone mountain, and then it exploded and it became what it is now.

Li Shimin excitedly circled around the pit a few times, his hands trembled with joy, and he stopped after a while, and asked Li Su eagerly: "Liulang, how is the output of this blaster?" When will I be able to equip all my troops with this? ”

Li Su was stupid after hearing this, thinking that it seems that the old man is really happy and confused, he only needs to mention the principle of the blaster, and other things are done by Yuwen escorts, as for the equipment of the Datang army, this question is even more difficult to answer, and even he doesn't even know how many troops there are in Datang now, how can he answer?

Fortunately, there was also a Yuwen Hu next to him, who stepped forward to relieve Li Su and said: "Your Majesty, the production of the blaster is not complicated, but it consumes too much gunpowder, and its use can only be used to attack the opponent's city, so its usefulness is limited, generally as long as you have some standing in the army, there is no need for large-scale equipment." ”

Yuwen Hu's mind is still very clear, and his answers are very organized. Li Shimin was only dizzy with joy for a while, but now when he heard Yuwen Hu's words, he immediately understood, patted his head and said, 'Not bad'. However, he still praised Li Su and Yuwen Hu, with this blaster, the army of the Tang Dynasty can almost be said to be indestructible in the future, even if it is a tall and solid city wall like Chang'an, if it is blasted many times in the same place, it is estimated that it will collapse.

"Father, just now you saw that they are siege weapons, and the following two weapons are more versatile, and they are specifically aimed at the enemy's living forces." Seeing that Li Shimin had already seen the value of gunpowder weapons, Li Su struck while the iron was hot, stepped forward and said again. (To be continued)!!
