Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 193 Powerful, Pour a Piece

On the day gunpowder came out, Li Qinzai opened the magic box.

What about the three-eyed gun?It is a devil flying out of the magic box.

Based on gunpowder, many firearms can actually be manufactured without relying on modern industrial technology, and the three-eyed gun is one of them.

To be precise, it is more like a shotgun of later generations, commonly known as a big sprayer.

It first appeared in the Ming Dynasty in later generations. The advantage is that it can be launched continuously, but the disadvantage is that the range is not long.

Before guns were banned nationwide in later generations, many ordinary people were able to open their own black workshops to make them, because the workmanship was simple and rough, and there was basically no technical content. As long as they could forge iron and have gunpowder, they would definitely be able to make them.

Later, after guns were banned, this kind of primitive blunderbuss was preserved in many areas in the south. If it was not loaded with bullets but only gunpowder, it was used to drive away evil spirits and pray for blessings during festivals. It is full of ritual.

The three-eyed blunderbuss made by Li Qinzai is enough for the naval battle in front of us.He found that today's naval battles are often bows and arrows and throwing stones, but in the end, the two ships still have to approach and climb the ship to fight hand-to-hand.

The appearance of the three-eyed gun may have completely changed the tactical pattern of naval warfare.

As long as they lined up and fired calmly, the enemy ships would not be able to approach at all, but would be chased and hit like a target.Archery at sea is full of uncertainties, but the three-eyed blunderbuss is not affected. With one shot, the radius of the square is almost within the strike range, which is especially suitable for the small boats of the Wa Kingdom.

Master Sun Ren stared blankly at the humanoid target that had been bombed out of shape, carefully studied the target's fate, and even counted the number of bullet holes on the target.

After a while, he looked up at Li Qinzai in shock.

"Li Changshi, if this thing... the three-eyed gun is used in naval battles..."

Li Qinzai thought for a while, and said seriously: "Within fifty steps, you are invincible."

"The range is weaker than that of bows and arrows, but it is better in precision, unaffected by wind speed and climate, and powerful. It is a group attack skill. A bow and arrow can only shoot one arrow, and a three-eyed blunderbuss can knock down one piece with one shot."

The explanation was very detailed, but there were some words that my son and grandson Renshi couldn't understand.

However, Sun Renshi still grasped the key words, precision, fifty steps, one slice.

Li Qinzai went on to say: "If you can organize a musket battalion based on three platoons, and each platoon will take turns to shoot uninterruptedly, within [-] paces you can form a firepower net, and no enemy will be able to break through these [-] paces, any enemy! "

Master Sun Ren stroked his beard with trembling hands, trying to calm himself down, but accidentally pulled a strand of white beard off. It was obvious that he was very excited and couldn't hide it.

"This thing... the old man has never heard of it." Master Sun Ren trembled.

Li Sujie next to him suddenly said: "Shuai Sun, Mr. Said that wars in this world will be different from the day gunpowder was introduced."

Sun Renshi pondered for a moment, and suddenly bowed to Li Qinzai. Li Qinzai was startled, and hurriedly supported him: "Chief Manager, I can't bear the burden."

Master Sun Ren said in a deep voice: "You can afford it. When this thing comes out, it will save my thousands of Guan Zhong's children from casualties. From now on, the Tang Dynasty will conquer the world and be invincible!"

"This ceremony is performed by the old man on behalf of thousands of officers and soldiers from Guanzhong. It is a sharp weapon for killing people, and it is of great merit." Master Sun Ren said solemnly.

The combination of killing weapon and merit sounds contradictory.

But from the standpoint of the general who is the commander of the first army of Datang, this sentence is correct.

Li Qinzai also returned a salute, saying: "It's a great honor to be an official."

Master Sun Ren smiled, turned his head and commanded the guards behind him in a deep voice, and said: "The old man's military order is called, and the blacksmiths of the whole army are summoned to open an open space outside the port to build a workshop. Before the first battle, the entire army must have at least [-] three-eyed guns."

"Choose strong and skilled fighters from all the ships of the navy to form a musket battalion. Before the three-eyed gun is made, the musket battalion must be proficient in tactics and battle formation. After being equipped with the three-eyed gun, they can fight at any time."

Military orders were passed down one after another, but Sun Renshi's expression became more and more excited.

With Li Qinzai's three-eyed blunderbuss, he had a [-]% chance of winning the naval battle against the Japanese, and the victory was basically sealed.

After Master Sun Ren issued a few military orders, he looked at Li Qinzai and said with a smile: "I am lucky to have Li Changshi to accompany the army. Chang'an said that there is a unicorn in the British government. Today I have seen it with my own eyes. Haha, good!"

"I will write a memorial immediately and send it to Chang'an. After this battle, Li Changshi can make the first contribution, and this old man has gained some credit from you."

Li Qinzai quickly glanced at the envious Li Sujie, and said with a smile: "The three-eyed blunderbuss can be made, and the credit is not due to the lower officials alone. The disciple next to me also discussed with me and raised several important ideas."

Master Sun Ren noticed Li Sujie next to him, and asked curiously, "I don't know who Li Changshi's master student is..."

Li Qinzai whispered something in his ear.

Master Sun Ren's expression suddenly changed, and he wanted to salute, but forcibly held back, so he nodded to Li Sujie with a strange smile on his face.

Li Sujie didn't pay attention to these details. At this moment, he was deeply shocked by Li Qinzai's words, and said at a loss: "Sir, my disciple, I..."

Li Qinzai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You have a share of the credit, don't refuse."

With a wink, Li Sujie understood, and silently stepped aside with a face of shame.

Li Qinzai doesn't mind giving Li Sujie some credit. He is very aware of Li Sujie's current situation and understands his worries. Living in the palace, especially the mother-killing enemy Empress Wu in the harem is becoming more and more powerful. If you want to live a carefree life He must have a credit for it.

Now that he has worshiped the teacher, he should be his own son. It is only natural for me to give his son some credit.

Knowing Li Sujie's identity, Master Sun Ren subconsciously bowed his hand to Li Sujie, just raised his hand and then put it down. At this time, Li Sujie's identity cannot be revealed, otherwise there will be no accidents.

"Being Li Changshi's high-achieving apprentice, and also contributing to the launch of the Three-Eyed Gun, he should be included in the credit book. This old man will play Chang'an, and ask for credit for Li Changshi and... and this high-achieving apprentice."

Li Qinzai and Li Sujie saluted and thanked each other.

Sun Renshi was both excited and joyful. He looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, piercing the sky, startling a group of seagulls living in the port.

He turned around and prepared to leave. With the three-eyed blunderbuss, Master Sun Ren still had a lot of things to do. Li Qinzai was right. From now on, the tactical pattern of naval warfare would change. He had to go back and carefully study new naval warfare tactics, formations and so on.

Just two steps away, Master Sun Ren suddenly paused, turned around and said, "By the way, just now the Silla General Jin Yuxin sent someone to send a letter to this old man, saying that our army commander Shi abused the Silla Governor Jin Wenying for no reason, and asked the old man to give an explanation. Is there a matter?"

Li Qinzai said indifferently: "Yes, the officer beat him very hard. I wanted to cut off his hands and feet, but I thought that the two countries are coalition forces, which will inevitably destroy the unity, so I let him go."

Master Sun Ren was stunned: "Is it so happy to admit it?"

Li Qinzai went on to say, "However, if you say that I've been 'torturing without reason', the lower officials are not convinced."

Li Qinzai recounted the story of Jin Wenying indiscriminately killing civilians on the streets of Xiongjin City for fun.

Sun Renshi's face became darker the more he heard it, and he said angrily: "This group of hozens! Both the old man and Liu Rengui have issued a military order to strictly prohibit the killing of civilians in Baekje without reason. Baekje is the frontier for my Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo in the future. The Tang Dynasty needs to operate slowly. Slowly subduing people's hearts, these hozens in Silla dare to violate our military orders!"

Looking at Li Qinzai, Master Sun Ren said: "You did the right thing. In fact, it doesn't matter if you interrupt the hands and feet of the warlord. It's not too much to kill a group of hozen who don't understand etiquette and don't obey the rules. I've taken care of this matter. I will send someone later. Ask Jin Yuxin about the crime, the villain will sue first, and it is unreasonable to pay back!"

Master Sun Ren left after speaking.

Li Qinzai smiled, this obvious feeling of an uneven bowl of water is really sweet.

After Master Sun Ren left, Li Sujie looked ashamed and said: "Mr. made the three-eyed blunderbuss. I didn't make any effort at all. I have received this credit for nothing. I feel ashamed..."

Li Qinzai patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "You are different from other disciples. If you change them, you will not have their share of the credit, but you need some credit."

"With this credit, your father can pay more attention to you, and you don't have to live so tired in the palace, understand?"

Li Sujie's eyes were red, and he bowed to Li Qinzai to the ground, choked with sobs and said, "I swear to follow my master to the death, but what I get in this life is all thanks to him."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Don't be so sensational, it's very hypocritical, the credit is given to you, next time you make a mistake, I don't feel guilty when I whip you, just whip it to death."

Li Sujie still said emotionally: "Although the teacher teaches, the disciple will never have the slightest resentment."

"Don't worry, I will. Although master and apprentice are like father and son, they are not biological after all, so I don't want to part with them."
