Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 246 Name

At first, everyone was shocked by the artillery, but after listening to Su Cheng's words, Li Shimin suddenly felt that although the artillery was powerful, it was too cumbersome.

If the artillery can really reduce the weight and can be run by horses, it will play a greater role.

But after hearing what Su Cheng said later, Li Shimin was shocked again: "Power? Can the power of artillery continue to increase?"

The power of the artillery just now had already suppressed him, but Su Cheng was still dissatisfied with the power of the artillery?

Li Jing and others were also shocked. They understood that the artillery was too heavy, but they couldn't believe it when they said that the artillery was not powerful enough.

Su Cheng shook his head and said: "The power is still far away. On the one hand, the range is not enough, and the reloading speed is too slow, and now we use solid bullets, which can only cause damage by impact. If it can explode when fired, That's barely enough power."

Li Shimin and others couldn't help but see, yes, bomb!If it is launched and explodes like a bomb, the power will definitely be greatly improved.

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Just imagine, hundreds of artillery bombarded the cavalry in turn, what would it be like? What kind of cavalry, what formation, they are all lambs waiting to be slaughtered."

Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard this. If hundreds of thousands of artillery salvos were fired, it would cause a devastating blow to both the gathered cavalry and the dense formation!

This simply subverted their perception of war!

If this is the case, the cavalry charge will really push the stage of history. Not only that, but the infantry cannot form a formation, or they will all be abolished after a few rounds of shelling!

How to fight after that?

Li Jing and the others stroked their foreheads, which was really a headache.

Li Shimin couldn't help asking: "Can the artillery really do what you said?"

Su Cheng nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, but it may be realized in a short time."

"If you do it boldly, I will fully support you!" Li Shimin nodded firmly.

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, muskets are more important than cannons!"

Cheng Yaojin said with disdain on his face: "How can muskets compare with cannons?"

Li Jing and the others also nodded. According to Su Cheng's explanation, muskets can be used as bows and arrows. How can they compare with cannons?

It's too far!

Yu Chigong said with a fiery face: "This big guy is still fierce!"

"Fire guns and cannons, you can do it boldly! Li Shimin smiled. In fact, he also thinks so, but he has some expectations when he thinks of Su Cheng's miracle. What if Su Cheng creates another miracle?

"I obey the order!" Su Cheng bowed quickly.

"By the way, Su Cheng, how many cannons have you cast?" Li Shimin asked.

Su Cheng pointed to the cannon in front of him and said, "This cannon was built!"

"What? Just made this cannon? How can there be only one such weapon?" Li Shimin almost roared.

"Your Majesty, this is just an experimental model, it's not yet successful, and it's not yet ready for mass production." Su Cheng explained.

Although Su Cheng's prospect is very attractive, who knows how long it will take to develop a light and powerful artillery?

And for Li Shimin, the artillery in front of him was already very powerful.

"Such artillery is already very powerful. Build artillery for me immediately, um, first build ten artillery pieces!" Li Shimin ordered immediately.

"Okay, okay!" Although he felt that the artillery was not good enough, Su Cheng had no choice but to agree.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Such a magic weapon can't be called directly as a cannon, it should have a name."

Li Shimin nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, Su Cheng, does this cannon have a name?"

Su Cheng hurriedly said: "Return to Your Majesty, yes, yes, I told it to try three changes."

Li Shimin and others looked confused: "What do you mean?"

"It's the third test of the improved artillery." Su Cheng explained.

Everyone was disgusted when they heard this. Such a magical weapon has such a scumbag name.

"What kind of bad name do you have? Your Majesty, in my opinion, you might as well be called the mighty general!" Cheng Yaojin said proudly.

Su Cheng vomited blood when he heard that, what kind of bad name is this?

What made Su Cheng vomit blood even more was that he clearly saw someone nodding in agreement.

"Your Majesty, this name is not good, it's too ugly!" Su Cheng said hastily.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "This name is not good. In my opinion, it is better to call it Zhenguan Dapao. What do you think?"

Shameless, so shameless, it's still called Zhenguan Cannon, why don't you just call it Li Shimin Cannon?

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty is right, it's better to call Zhenguan Dapao!"

"This name is resounding!"

Everyone flattered like a tide.

Li Shimin asked with some complacency: "Su Cheng, what do you think?"

Are you not talking nonsense?Su Cheng smiled slightly: "Okay, very good!"

Li Shimin stroked the cannon, his fanatical eyes made Su Cheng panic.

"A sharp weapon for siege, a sharp weapon for defending the city, it's really a magic weapon!" Li Shimin praised wildly.

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Actually, what I care most about is another usage."

Li Shimin was surprised when he heard the words: "Another usage? What usage?"

Su Cheng laughed and said: "Put the cannon on the ship, and all the ships in the sea will be obedient."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard that, yes, if the cannons were installed on the ship, wouldn't other sea ships have to look like grandsons when they saw it?

Disobedient, my cannon will sink you!

Li Shimin also finally understood why Su Cheng didn't care about exposing the charts, and even threatened to release the charts for two years. It turned out that there were artillery as a big killer!

A sea ship with artillery is the overlord of the sea!

"That's right! Put the artillery on the ship and see who dares to be disobedient!" Li Shimin said pleasantly, as if he had seen the scenes of the sea ships of those aristocratic families seeing the artillery.

That must be very interesting!

Li Ji smiled and said: "You boy, no wonder you are so confident, you have already planned it!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "The sea is too big, how many ships can we build? But it will be different with artillery."

Li Shimin couldn't help nodding when he heard this, and the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared.

"The development and construction of the artillery can't be slack. It's all up to you. Also, don't let it out. I will send more people. If anyone dares to spy here, they will be killed! Also, without my warrant, anyone People are not allowed to use artillery, Su Cheng, do you understand?" At the end, Li Shimin had a murderous look on his face.

Su Cheng had no objection to this either. After seeing the power of artillery, it's no wonder Li Shimin didn't take it seriously.

Su Cheng quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, all the ministers know."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Cheng also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I once promised the craftsmen here that if anyone makes great achievements in the development of artillery, I will ask His Majesty to seal him for him!"
