Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 223 God-given Emperor Consort of the Tang Dynasty
The cavalry is the most powerful among the soldiers. They wear heavy armor and charge with heavy weapons. Except for the heavy bed fury, which can be penetrated, ordinary bows and arrows are extremely difficult to penetrate.

Even if they are shot through the armor, the cavalry's combat power is still strong, because as long as a person is charging and killing on horseback, it will be like a lion slaughtering, unstoppable!

The land in Liaodong is vast, and Goryeo has been developing over the years. Cavalry is indispensable. Naturally, there will be no shortage of cavalry confrontation between the two armies. Now Lin Heng came and asked, "Is there something that can restrain the cavalry?"

If this thing really existed, wouldn't it mean that Datang could directly weaken the enemy's most powerful force and then directly charge into the battle?
Therefore, Li Shimin was feeling a little indescribably excited at the moment.

Then he saw Lin Heng taking out something like a fire stick.

In an instant, the sense of anticipation was gone.

Can this thing fight against the cavalry?
Just kidding?
Lin Heng saw Li Shimin's expression and immediately explained with a smile: "Father, this thing is a matchlock gun. It can kill enemies from a hundred feet away and can penetrate armor directly!"

Li Shimin immediately frowned, but his eyes were still hesitant: "Kill the enemy from a hundred feet away? Is that further than the range of a crossbow?"

Lin Heng nodded: "If your father doesn't believe it, you can just take a look at the effect."

Li Shimin said directly: "Then show me what's so surprising about this thing."

Lin Heng looked around and said speechlessly: "Father, this is the palace, can't we show it somewhere else?"

Li Shimin waved his hand: "In that case, follow me to the training ground."

After all, such a small place really cannot be displayed.

Lin Heng ordered people to get some matchlock guns and ammunition, and followed Li Shimin to the training ground.

At this moment, drills were in full swing everywhere in the stadium. Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and his son were all present, and Su Wu was among them. These were all very powerful generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing Li Shimin and others, several people put down what they were doing and rushed over.

"See Your Majesty."

Everyone cupped their hands and clasped their fists, and Li Shimin waved his hands casually: "There is no need to be formal. Now that the war is coming, you have many things to wait for, and training is the first priority."

Cheng Yaojin and others nodded, then they looked at Lin Heng and were a little confused when they saw Lin Heng holding a fire stick-like thing in his hand.

"Consort Lin, what is this thing?"

Li Shimin answered first: "Heng'er said that this thing can restrain the cavalry, so I took him to try it. As for whether it can restrain the cavalry, I will trouble you generals to take a look."

At that moment, countless curious eyes turned to Lin Heng. The latter also showed off a little bit, but almost all of them didn't believe it in their eyes.

"Can this thing restrain the cavalry?"

"The cavalry can't even restrain the crossbows. How can they do it with just this thing?"

Everyone immediately asked in confusion, only Cheng Huaiyi, Yuchi Baolin and Su Dingfang's expressions became a little strange.

This thing is somewhat similar to the weapon Lin Heng used before?

Su Dingfang, in particular, was deeply impressed by the Tang Dynasty hand crossbow.

"Consort Lin, could this be the Tang Dynasty hand crossbow you mentioned?"

Everyone looked over.

"When did I, the Tang Dynasty, get such a crossbow?"

"I have never heard of such a hand crossbow in the Tang Dynasty. I have been in the army for so many years."

Lin Heng smiled and said: "It's similar to the hand crossbow. Anyway, please take a look."

Everyone, including Li Shimin, nodded.

Then came the shooting range.

The distance of the shooting range is controlled. For example, bows and arrows of different strengths can shoot up to fifty feet, which is a distance of 70 meters in later generations.

Of course, this is the effective range, which means it can hit wherever it hits. The effective killing range is about twice as high.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Heng stood in front of a target about ten feet away. At this point, he was only a breath away from the cavalry charge.

"I hope my father will add armor to the target, otherwise it will be difficult to see the effect."

Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but laugh. Lin Heng insisted on showing him the efficacy of this thing.

"Come here, put the Tang Dynasty's most exquisite armor on the target!" He wanted to see where Lin Heng got the confidence to be so confident.

The most exquisite armor of the Tang Dynasty was naturally the armor used by the cavalry to attack. The innermost layer had a layer of chain mail, woven with iron rings, and the outer layer was covered with a layer of hard leather to act as a buffer. The outermost layer was covered with a layer of chainmail. Iron armor can directly withstand the most direct crossbow arrows.

Today, the armor of the Tang Dynasty is unparalleled, and it is also the key to the victory of the Tang cavalry in battles!
Seeing the armor being loaded, Lin Heng also started filling bullets.

He tried this thing.

40 meters is like drinking water.
Lin Heng raised the matchlock gun, and everyone behind him was watching. Li Shimin guessed that it was a piece of equipment similar to a crossbow.

Lin Heng always likes to tinker with these things, but cavalry charges are not opportunistic, and crossbows are useless, so Bed Rage can come in handy.

Cheng Huaiyi, Yuchi Baolin, and Su Dingfang had silently covered their ears.

There is no way, they have seen something similar to this thing.

boom!
An explosion sounded, instantly spreading throughout the entire training ground, and almost all the soldiers were stunned.

It's a sunny day, is it thundering?

As for Li Shimin and others, their ears were already buzzing.

Black powder, are you kidding me?
The entire target, including the armor, was blown to pieces and flew all over the place.

娘啊
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were stunned. What on earth is this thing that can be so lethal?

The armor was blown to pieces, right? If the target was a human, wouldn't it be like flesh and blood flying everywhere?
Li Shimin was also shocked on the spot. This was a bit different from the crossbow he imagined...

The biggest feeling is that my ears are constantly buzzing
Lin Heng took over the magic weapon?If this kid really conspired to rebel, what's the point?

Lin Heng put away his gun and patted his ears.

Damn, this thing makes too much noise!
He then retreated thirty feet and moved to another target.

100 meters away.

Li Shimin finally realized, is this kid still trying?

"Come on!"

The shouting was a bit loud, which had some problems with my ears, and of course it was also accompanied by excitement.

"Put on your armor!"

Seeing that he was ready, thirty feet away, he immediately pulled the trigger.

The match rope ignited the gunpowder immediately, and the ammunition burst out of the chamber under great impact.

The entire outside of the armor was blown open, but it didn't fly out like before, but the target also fell to the ground.

Thirty feet tall, with such powerful lethality, can it still kill with one blow?
At this distance, the cavalry couldn't react at all, and was killed and knocked down directly!
Only then did Li Shimin react. No wonder he said he was restraining the cavalry!

Even at such a distance, you can have such powerful lethality. If you don’t restrain your cavalry, who can it restrain?

Lin Heng continued to retreat, and everyone was immediately stunned.

Countless soldiers also paid attention.

That's not thunder, it's Consort Lin testing weapons?
What could have such a huge momentum?
Lin Heng filled the bullets and continued to put people in armor.

One shot down.

There was a crack on the outside of the armor, but overall it was fine.

But everyone was still shocked.

Fifty feet, that thing is made of fine iron, not wood, can it be penetrated?
If the distance is far, the cavalry cannot be restrained, and your infantry are simply lambs waiting to be slaughtered!

Li Shimin took a deep breath and made up his mind.

There must be no problem with this kid, otherwise Datang will lose such a talented and intelligent person.

This is simply a gift from God to Datang!
