Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 379 The Power of Landmines

The landmine that Gao Ming used for the experiment was very large, like a big pumpkin hugged by one person. It is conceivable how terrifying the power of such a large landmine is after it is successfully detonated.

The buzzing of Liu Tao's and others' ears can only be regarded as a trivial matter. The first thing to bear the brunt was the nasty horse used to test the power of the landmine. When the landmine exploded, it was immediately overturned to the ground. There was constant neighing on the ground.

Gao Ming quickly ran over with Liu Tao and the others, and they were surprised to find that both of the horse's hind legs had been blown off, and a big hole had been opened in its stomach, and its intestines and blood flowed all over the place.

Seeing this bloody scene, Liu Tao and the others gasped.

"hiss……"

Obviously, none of them expected the power of this landmine to be so powerful.

Liu Tao is worthy of being a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time. He quickly realized the value of this thing, so he quickly bowed to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, if such a sharp weapon can be used on the battlefield, our Tang Dynasty will be in every possible disadvantage. I think that this matter should be reported to the Holy Majesty immediately!"

Hearing Liu Tao's words, Gao Ming looked at him with a half-smile.

"Liu Tao, I think you can't wait to go and ask for credit?"

"This……"

Liu Tao, who had been guessed, blushed suddenly, showing embarrassment on his face.

"His Royal Highness, I'm an official... an official..."

Seeing his faltering, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha!"

Gao Ming likes people who don't have a city mansion, and someone like Liu Tao looks straight-hearted, so Gao Ming waved his hand at him while smiling.

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, go if you want to claim credit, and remember to do things for me in the future, just go to claim credit now, maybe you will be promoted tomorrow morning! Haha!"

"Hey, His Royal Highness is laughing!"

Seeing Gao Ming making fun of himself, Liu Tao smiled a little embarrassedly, and then saluted him again.

"Then I will report to His Majesty!"

"Well, let's go!"

After getting Gao Ming's permission, Liu Tao trotted all the way back, and when he was far away, Gao Ming nodded to the craftsmen beside him.

"I've always been a person who distinguishes rewards and punishments. As long as you do things well, you will get the benefits you deserve!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Seeing the ecstatic looks of the craftsmen, Gao Ming nodded again, and then turned around and walked in front of the nauseous horse.

At this time, the blood of this nasty horse was almost drained, and the sound of neighing also weakened, but in its pair of wide eyes, there was a trace of longing for life.

Seeing this scene, a trace of unbearableness flashed in Gao Ming's eyes, he knelt down and touched the forehead of the nanny, then heaved a long sigh.

"Hey, horse, your life is to pull a cart. Instead of being killed and eaten for meat when you can't pull a cart, it's better to sacrifice for my Tang Dynasty. As the saying goes, if a horse dies, it may be heavier than Mount Tai. or lighter than a feather..."

Maybe it understood Gao Ming's words, or maybe it was because its life had come to an end, when Gao Ming finished speaking, Nu Ma's eyes slowly closed.

It's dead.

Looking at the lifeless horse, Gao Ming straightened up, with a sad face on his face.

In fact, Gao Ming didn't want to use live horses at the beginning, but because this landmine itself was designed to deal with cavalry, in order to test its real lethality, he had to use live horses for the test.

Fortunately, the effect is not bad. According to the test results, Gao Ming confirmed that the landmines are indeed very lethal to cavalry, and they can be used to fight against cavalry!
Now that he has got what he wants, Gao Ming naturally has no need to stay, especially whenever he sees the dead horse on the ground, he will always feel a little guilty.

Immediately, he waved his hands to the craftsmen around him.

"I'm hungry, and I'm going back to eat. Liu Tao will probably bring a big man over later. You guys wait here, and after they have seen it, bury the horse properly."

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

Hearing that Gao Ming said that a big man was coming, the craftsmen suddenly became a little nervous again.

Seeing their nervousness, Gao Ming suddenly smiled, turned around and left without explaining anything.

After Gao Ming left, several craftsmen began to discuss with each other.

"Hey, who do you think the big man His Royal Highness is talking about?"

"Could it be the Minister of War?"

"possible……"

While they were discussing, a sound of horseshoes came from a long distance. Several craftsmen looked up and saw a group of armored and fully armed knights rushing towards them.

In their surprised eyes, this group of knights had already arrived in front of them, and as they pulled the reins, the war horses under them neighed loudly.

"Call..."

After the horses stopped, the cavalry got off their horses one after another. The craftsmen had never seen such a big scene before, they immediately knelt down.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Where is His Royal Highness?"

Hearing this, the leading craftsman quickly raised his head, and bowed his hands to the person in front of him.

"Lord Liu, His Royal Highness said that he was hungry and had already gone back. When he left, he told us to bury the horse after you brought that great man here!"

"gone back?"

At this time, the person standing in front of the craftsmen was none other than Liu Tao who had gone and returned. After hearing what the craftsmen said, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face.

At this time, a laugh suddenly sounded behind him.

"Haha, what a big man, Gao Ming guessed that I was coming, hahahaha..."

Since Qin Shihuang swept Liuhe and unified the world, "zhen" has become the emperor's exclusive self-proclaimed name, so when craftsmen hear each other calling themselves "zhen", they understand each other's identity.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty!
After realizing this, several craftsmen who were kneeling on the ground gasped, and quickly lowered their heads again.

The craftsmen never thought that the big man Gao Ming was talking about was actually the current emperor, so they were full of shock at this moment.

Li Shimin has seen many such scenes, so he was not surprised, and immediately waved to the craftsmen in front of him.

"Get up and talk back!"

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty for your grace!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, several craftsmen hurriedly saluted him respectfully again, and then stood up.

After they stood up, Li Shimin nodded towards them again.

"Where's the horse?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Liu Tao quickly saluted him.

"Report to Your Majesty, it's just ahead!"

"lead the way!"

"Yes!"
