Chapter 14 Be prepared for danger in times of peace
Leaving White Rock City, Gao Dali naturally drove the carriage forward as a coachman.
Although Emperor Qianwu was sitting in the carriage, his head was poking out, looking at the countless large and small huge pits on the blood-colored plain, some of which were still emitting wisps of gunsmoke.
Scraps of meat that had been shattered by shells were everywhere.
On the Scarlet Plains, there was a group of soldiers rummaging through the corpses of the Black Thorn Beasts in the artillery pit.
Although Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali witnessed the power of this artillery on the city wall, they could feel the power of the artillery more intuitively when they got off the city wall and came to this blood-colored plain.
You must know that this black thorn beast can be the size of a calf at the smallest, and this type of evil beast is very powerful, and it often requires a warrior with a strength of 1,000 catties to deal with it, and it is still a black thorn beast the size of a calf.
If it's the size of an adult cow, you'll need a more powerful warrior.
Especially the Black Thorn Beast King, the burly and majestic body is terrifying, far from what ordinary martial artists can deal with, and with one claw, I am afraid that it can directly slap an adult into a meat patty.
However, the cannon was able to kill the Black Thorn with a single bombardment, and blast such a huge mud puddle in the hard ground.
Thinking about it, the full force of those third-grade little grandmasters on the rivers and lakes is probably nothing more than that.
However, there were ten such terrifying weapons in White Rock City.
But no, a hill has been blown up alive!
After walking out of Baishi City, Emperor Qianwu naturally didn't need to hide his identity anymore, and said, "Gao Dali, what do you think of this artillery?" ”
Gao Dali was respectful and exclaimed: "Back to Your Majesty, this artillery is really a first-class weapon, with this artillery, it can be compared to a third-grade little grandmaster, and he is no longer afraid of evil beasts." ”
Emperor Qianwu shook his head: "What you said is an exaggeration, artillery is a dead thing, and it can't compare to a real third-grade little master in any case." But the power is amazing, if there are hundreds of cannons, even if it is an evil beast or even a hundred tribes in all directions, I am not afraid! ”
In the end, his eyes were a little hot.
As an emperor, who doesn't want to expand the territory and leave a name in history!
Especially when he is in the prime of life, he still has a lot of time.
It's a pity that now the artillery is still in the preliminary stage of research and development, and it has not yet been thoroughly perfected.
Gao Dali hurriedly said: "What Your Majesty said is very true. ”
"Well, let's not talk about it. This time I came to Baishi City, and I gained a lot, and now after returning to the Wasteland, I will find another opportunity to let Xiao Jiu come over for a while. ”
Emperor Qianwu had already begun to think a little about how embarrassed Li Changfeng would be if he arrived at the Wasteland to meet him.
After thinking about it, I gritted my teeth a little.
In this world, this bastard is the only thing who dares to let his own father enter the Qinglou, and uses that special video camera to film it and threaten himself.
When the time comes, I must teach this bastard a good lesson, even if he gets a heavy weapon like artillery.
Gao Dali on the side was amused and envious, because he knew that His Majesty had begun to pay attention to the Nine Emperor Princes, and the Nine Emperor Princes were destined not to continue to be trapped here in White Rock City.
……
But it was said that after Li Changfeng left the city wall, he had just returned to the mansion with Bingbing on the front foot, and Liang Dafu on the back foot came to the door, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I heard the sound of cannons shooting many times just now, did you shoot a lot of cannons at the evil beast?" ”
Just now he heard the sound of dense artillery shells firing in the scientific research institute, and the sound was incessant.
Therefore, after learning that the beast tide had been exterminated, Liang Dafu rushed to the city lord's mansion as soon as possible, wanting to know how many cannonballs had been fired.
Although there is a lot of ammunition in stock, it can't withstand such intensive bombardment.
Lao Liang, you are enough, Lao Tzu is not so perverted, okay!
However, after firing so many shells, when facing Liang Dafu, Li Changfeng felt a little weak in his heart, and coughed: "Indeed, there are probably dozens of cannons." ”
He vaguely said a number, although the exact number was not counted, and it was estimated that there were one hundred and thirty or forty cannons.
After all, they have razed a hill to the ground, and they can't explode without hundreds of cannons.
Liang Dafu asked, "Dozens of cannons?" More than thirty cannons? ”
"Pretty much."
Li Changfeng nodded, he didn't tell a lie, more than 30 cannons and more than 130 cannons sound about the same.
Liang Dafu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, there are only two hundred shells in the entire inventory, and there are more than thirty cannons fired, and there can be one hundred and sixty-seven cannons, even if the beast tide comes again, I am not afraid." It depends on the situation, there is no need to make shells again in a short time -"
"No way!"
Li Changfeng shouted violently, startling Liang Dafu: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" ”
There are only more than sixty cannons left in the inventory, and the devil knows when the next wave of beasts will come.
If you don't have enough shells, you can even deal with the beast tide.
As a prudent and steady city lord, Li Changfeng would never allow Baishi City to not have enough firepower to protect it, if there were thousands of beasts coming next time, it would be a hemp.
Therefore, the stock of shells can only be more, and not less.
Of course, Li Changfeng couldn't say these words directly, but said seriously: "Lao Liang, although there are still a lot of shells in stock, we can't think that we can slack off if we have enough inventory. Being in Baishi City, bordering the Nanban, although Baishi City has been built tall and stable over the years, we can't think that Baishi City can withstand everything, and we don't think that we can slack off with more than a hundred shells in stock, but we should be prepared for danger in times of peace and make more preparations, so that we can better face the crisis. ”
"So, this prince hopes that the scientific research institute can make more shells, so that the inventory is more sufficient, and the prevention is not possible, understand?"
Liang Dafu was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Li Changfeng with admiration, but he didn't expect His Highness to think so long-term.
It was he who slacked off.
Originally, I thought that with the tall city walls standing in the block, and the artillery and other important weapons of the country to guard it, I was not afraid of everything and could relax.
But now it sounds like it's all wrong.
If a larger-scale beast tide comes, if the Southern Barbarian army attacks, this is not enough.
Although this seems unrealistic at first, there has not been a large-scale beast tide in Daqian for many years, and the Nanban is also afraid of Daqian's national strength.
But as His Royal Highness said, we need to be prepared for danger in times of peace and take precautions.
Liang Dafu immediately said: "Your Highness, you are right, we are slacking off. Although there are still a lot of shells in stock, this is a wasteland, there are many evil beasts, and there are even Nanban clans eyeing them, how dare they be careless. When I returned, I led the scientists of the scientific research institute to work overtime day and night to develop more artillery pieces and artillery launches. ”
That's what I want!
"No way!" Li Changfeng longed for the scientific research institute to work overtime to make cannonballs immediately, but he said with a fake smile on his face, "Although this prince hopes to make more cannonballs as soon as possible and enrich the warehouse, he doesn't want you to tire yourself." After all, you scientists are the important talents of our White Rock City, and they are indispensable. ”
"Your Highness-" Liang Dafu's eyes were filled with tears, he didn't expect that at this time, His Highness would still think about them so much, and immediately said: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry, although we are not as strong as Zhang Commander to lead them, but we also practice martial arts and exercise on weekdays, and our spirit is quite good, and it is not a problem to work overtime for a period of time in a row." ”
"But—"
"Your Highness, no. You are doing this for the sake of our safety in White Rock City, and we can't hold you back. I believe that everyone in the scientific research institute thinks so, please Your Highness do not stop us from working overtime. Liang Dafu said.
You asked for overtime yourself, not me.
Li Changfeng was about to laugh out loud in his heart, but he sighed on his face: "Since this is the case, then this prince will not stop you, but you have to promise this prince that you must not be tired of your body." After all, the city can be rebuilt if it is gone. Artillery, shells are gone, they have not been made again. But if the person is gone, it is really gone. ”
"Your Highness, please rest assured." Liang Dafu was very moved.
He immediately said goodbye and left, his eyes were full of determination, he wanted to go back to the scientific research institute and hurry up to work overtime to produce more shells and improve the artillery better, and he must not disappoint His Highness.
Finally fooled Lao Liang into making more shells, Li Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, people in this era are still so foolish.
As soon as Liang Dafu was sent away on the front foot, Commander Zhang came to the door with a cloth bag on the back foot, and he didn't know what the reason was, he was very happy, and said: "Your Highness, the last general has dug out all the beast pills of the Black Thorn Beast outside the city." It's a pity that most of the Black Thorn Beasts were blown to pieces by the artillery, and the Beast Pill couldn't bear it, so a total of twenty-one Beast Pills were dug out, of which only half of the Black Thorn Beast King's Beast King Pill was left. ”
"As for the Black Thorn Beast King, there is only one head and one leg left, and his subordinates have already placed them in the backyard."
What is in the cloth bag is the beast pill.
The Beast Pill is a product of the evil beast, just like a warrior can cultivate internal force, the reason why the evil beast is more powerful than ordinary beasts is because there is a special beast pill in the body, which can release a power similar to internal force, making the strength greatly stronger.
Although the Beast Pill is an important source of the power of the evil beast, it is just that the martial artist cannot directly swallow the energy of the power, transform it into his own, and strengthen his internal strength.
This is one of the important reasons why evil beasts can wreak havoc in this world, human beings are selfish, seeing these evil beasts are ferocious and terrifying, even if the warrior is in the face of the evil beast, it is easy to be injured or injured, and the beast pill cannot be turned into his own, so if the evil beast does not invade himself, the warrior will not easily attack the evil beast.
Otherwise, if the beast pill can be transformed into internal force, I am afraid that the evil beast will not be enough for the human warrior to kill.
Li Changfeng took the cloth bag and opened it to see that there were a total of twenty-one beast pills of all sizes inside, the small one was only the size of a little thumb, and the largest one was half a baby fist.
The reason why it is said to be half a baby fist is because there is only half of it, and it is the beast pill of the Black Thorn Beast King.
"It's a pity, I didn't shoot so many cannons if I knew it." Li Changfeng looked at the beast pill in the cloth bag with some regret, but it was a pity that he would directly crush the bones and ashes the Black Thorn Beast King if he did it again.
He didn't want to be remembered by the beastmaster of an evil beast all day long.
Glancing at Commander Zhang, he smiled, and seemed to be very happy, Li Changfeng was puzzled: "Lao Zhang, you seem to be very happy?" ”
The last general is naturally happy, if His Majesty receives the fold, he will definitely reuse Your Highness, and will not let you continue to stay in this small place in White Rock City.
Of course, Commander Zhang didn't say this, but said, "The last general just thought of some happy things." ”
"Alright, let's go."
After Li Changfeng drove away Commander Zhang, he came to the edge of the pond in the backyard of the mansion, where there was a big sack with a bloody and blurred head, several times larger than the human head, which was the head of the Black Thorn Beast King.
There is also a huge animal leg next to it.
Li Changfeng sat on the edge of the pond, while holding a fishing rod to hook the head of the beast king, and with a flick of one hand, the head of the beast king weighing 100 catties fell in the center of the pond five or six zhang away with a pop.
While leaning back on the chair, he took out a beast pill from the cloth bag with the other hand, threw it directly into his mouth, as if eating candy, stared at the middle of the pond, and muttered: "It's time to take the bait......"
