As soon as Wang De finished reading Li Shen's words, he heard a pop, and an old waiter fainted in anger. Li Shimin hurriedly asked people to carry him down and call the doctor for treatment.

And the atmosphere in the court has become a little weird, this King Ji's mouth is really poisonous. can actually make an old minister faint angrily.

At this moment, Li Shen was indifferent to the affairs of the court, and he concentrated on the study of clippers in the palace, relying on some memories of later generations.

In fact, Li Shen has never built a ship, he just knows a little more than the people of this era, so it took him and these shipbuilding craftsmen and carpenters more than half a month to build a model more than one meter large.

Today, Li Shen took the sailboat model to the dock to prepare for the experiment, and checked the progress of the dock by the way.

The dock is some distance from Chang'an, and it takes more than an hour to arrive. Li Shen asked the shipbuilders to sit in the same carriage with him, so that he could discuss the shortcomings of the ships on the road.

After discussing all the way, we finally reached the dockyard, where two rivers meet, wide and deep, suitable for shipbuilding.

After Li Shen checked the progress, he summoned a fishing boat to drive in the middle of the river, and several guards carried the model and carefully lowered it into the water.

As soon as Li Shen adjusted the sails, the guards let go, and the model flew out like an arrow, and the speed was fast, and Li Shen ordered to follow to see the stability. The model moves quickly on the surface of the river, undulating and undulating, and the wind on the river has no effect on the model boat.

"Lord, we succeeded." A shipbuilder on the side said excitedly, this ship was something he had never seen before. But based on his experience, it must be fast, and now it is just the right thing to confirm his idea

"Hmm. The hull is still a little unstable and needs to be modified, and the mast is a little higher. Okay, pull the model back, and you can improve the rest yourself.

Then, when the dockyard is finished, you'll build one and see. I've had people buy the timber from the south, and it's all good ironwood. After Li Shen finished speaking, a guard pulled the rope behind the model and pulled the model back.

Back on the shore, Li Shen instructed the craftsmen to see what needed to be improved here, after all, they were all connoisseurs before. They were very aware of the requirements of the shipyard, and Li Shen returned to the palace with the model.

On the way back, Li Shen was looking at the model and thinking about what else needed to be improved. Just hear a bang, something crashing into the carriage. Then there was a continuous thud.

Outside, the guards shouted, "There are assassins protecting the king." ”

Li Shen looked out through the gap and saw hundreds of masked black-clothed people coming up all around. All in their hands are unified knives.

"Fence the carriage. Rotate with a hand crossbow. "Li Shen's current guard commander is called Li Tieniu, and his father died in battle with Li Shimin, leaving orphans and widows to live in poverty.

After Li Shen went to Huangzhuang, he gave his family a monthly allowance, because Li Tieniu had to be a guard and his family had no labor, so Li Shen gave a sum of money every month, which was several times more than farming in a year.

Later, Li Tieniu succeeded Xue Rengui as the commander of the guards, Li Tieniu was born with divine power and followed Xue Rengui to learn martial arts, and even Li Shen sent him to Qin Qiong's Mansion to learn art in the first half of the year.

Li Tieniu has a simple personality, Li Shen will do whatever he wants, and he is absolutely loyal to Li Shen.

"What's going on with the Iron Bull." Li Shen was a little confused.

"The prince has assassins. Six or seven hundred people. Don't come out, they have bows and arrows. Li Tieniu said across the carriage

"Iron Bull, are you stupid, we are cavalry. Don't fight them in battle, send thirty guards to charge me on horseback. They have no armor that they can't resist. "Li Tieniu is good at everything, but his brain is not flexible enough.

Li Shen spent so much money to feed these fifty cavalrymen, was it a waste of money? A suit of armor made of stainless steel, including the horses, is chain mail, and it is difficult for them to cut through this armor.

And even more so in this day and age. Cavalry is the equivalent of armored vehicles. Why is it that a few thousand steppe cavalry can beat tens of thousands of infantry. Why was Genghis Khan able to trample on Europe.

"It's the prince." Li Tieniu immediately followed what Li Shen said. Arrange for thirty cavalry to rush in the direction of the few people first. After rushing out, raise your speed and turn your head to rush to a crowded place.

More than 100 people were killed in one round trip, and the horses kept turning big corners to surround and kill, which was Professor Li Jing's cavalry tactics. In addition, the guards inside dismounted in close combat, using horses as cover, relying on strong armor and sharp Tang knives.

Turned the tide in an instant. Especially Li Tieniu, Li Shen specially created a big knife for him. One foot wide and two meters long. The handle of the knife is one foot, suitable for holding the knife with both hands, and there is a leather rope sleeve at the tail to prevent it from getting out of the hand.

Li Tieniu and Qin Qiong's martial arts were wide open and closed, and when they rushed into the crowd, seven or eight people were cut off. Seeing that the number of people in black was decreasing little by little, Li Shen also breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, countless arrows flew out of the woods on both sides of the road. Whether it was the man in black or Li Shen's guards and carriages, they were all within the range of the attack.

"Defense!" Li Tieniu retreated to the side of the carriage and blocked his vital point with a knife. A clanging sound was accompanied by screams. The remaining more than 100 men in black were almost all shot to death. Those who are not dead are also lying on the ground and struggling.

Fortunately, Li Shen's carriage has been renovated, and it looks wooden on the outside, but it is a steel plate made of stainless steel on the inside. It was two fingers thick, so Li Shen's carriage was a sturdy horse-drawn carriage.

After two rounds of arrows, five or six hundred cavalry rushed out of the forest on both sides, and Li Shen knew at a glance that it was the cavalry unit of the Tang Dynasty, and they were all wearing Datang standard equipment.

"Big bull, we have a wagon, and they can't rush up. Let people stand by the carriage. Put flares. Li Shen knew that the cavalry was terrible when they rushed up, and with the carriage as their backing, they could only fight a tough battle.

Li Tieniu took out three bamboo tubes from his waist bag. This is a signal flare developed by Li Shen in recent years. To put it bluntly, it's like fireworks.

Li Shen has never found the best formula for gunpowder, but it doesn't take much power to make a flare. Li Tieniu took out a flint and lit a bamboo tube and held it above his head.

Just listen to the sound of "chirp~~~~~bang~~~~" in the air. Li Tieniu then put another "chirp~~~~bang~~~~", and the last one was left for a while.

This was taught by Li Shen beforehand, and he could only hear voices during the day. I can't see the color clearly, so I need to locate it.

"They signal. Kill them all. A general in armor who couldn't see his face shouted.

"Kill. Kill. The sound of killing around the carriage shook the sky, and the guards of the palace tried desperately to resist, relying on equipment and weapons to barely block it. However, it is conceivable that as time goes by, their physical strength will be exhausted, and Li Shen will be in danger by then.
