Capital Datang

"My ministers see the father!" Li Yin entered the Hall of Liangyi, saw Li Shimin distributing memorials behind the desk, and immediately stepped forward to salute, followed by Yu Wenhu.

"Well, get up!" Li Shimin raised his hand and said, until after reading the memorial in his hand, he raised his head and looked at Li Yin, only to find that his face was gray, and the two dark circles on his eyes were very eye-catching , smiled immediately, "Liulang, although you are a newlywed, you should also be restrained. It's not good to be too indulgent at a young age."

Li Yin was taken aback when he heard this, remembering that he told Wen Xin the story for most of the night last night, his complexion must be bad today, and since he is newly married, it is no wonder that Li Shimin misunderstood.

"Yes, my son Jin respects the teachings of my father!" Although Li Yin yelled in his heart that he was wronged, he couldn't explain this matter clearly. If people know that he and Xiao Wenxin haven't had sex yet, let's not talk about it. It is estimated that Li Shimin and Xiao Yu alone could tear him into pieces and swallow him alive.

"Liulang and Yuwen Aiqing came to see me, but what's the matter?" Li Shimin put down the memorial, and finally noticed Yuwen Hu behind him, feeling a little strange in his heart, wondering why the two of them came together, so he asked road.Capital Datang 114

"I would like to report to my father, my son and Lord Yuwen are here today, and there is something extremely important for my father to watch." Li Yin replied with a bow.

"Oh? Could it be that the supervisor came up with some new type of Yanhuā?" Li Shimin frowned. He knew that Li Min had entrusted the production of Yanhuā to the supervisor. Now that the two of them came to find him together, it naturally reminded him of Smoke huā on.However, if it is really for a huā to bother me to review the memorial, Li Yin will be too ignorant.

"Father, although this thing is somewhat related to Yanhuā, it is not for people to watch, but for killing!" When Li Yin said the last sentence, his tone became a little cruel, and the appearance of gunpowder , marking that thermal weapons have officially entered the stage of history, and the emergence of thermal weapons.It will directly change the form of human warfare.

In the era of cold weapons, Chapter 110, Chapter [-] is invincible. Although the battle looks very tragic, in fact, only a small number of people died directly on the battlefield. Most of the people who died died because they were injured and did not have good medical treatment. .But thermal weapons are different. When a shell goes down, it is within the killing range of more than ten meters or even hundreds of meters. After a war, tens of thousands of people will die like playing games.For example, in World War I and World War II in later generations, millions of lives were filled in.If this was placed in the era of cold weapons, a war in which millions of people died would probably last at least tens of hundreds of years, of course.The massacre of civilians does not count, only the number of soldiers killed here is recorded.

Li Shimin was taken aback when he heard this, the thing used to kill people was also related to the incomparably brilliant smoke huā, which made him a little curious, and asked again: "Liulang, what is it?"

"This..." Li Yin didn't know how to explain it, and he only relied on empty words, even if it was what he said.Li Shimin couldn't believe it either, so he pondered for a while and could only say, "Father, you should go out and have a look for yourself. This thing is used to equip our Tang army's army. It has the power to break mountains and crack rocks. My son is afraid of danger." , so I dare not bring it to the main hall."

Li Shimin listened to what Li Yin said was so miraculous, and Li Yin always made new things, so Li Shimin still believed his words very much.Immediately, I stood up and went with Li Yin and Yu Wenhu to the martial arts field in the west of the imperial city. This is the place where Qianniuwei practiced, which is safe and secluded.Don't worry about disturbing others, there are already several large boxes on the martial arts arena, and the weapons Li Yin said are in them.

Li Shimin wanted to go to the box to see what happened, but Li Yin and Yu Wenhu disagreed life and death. Gunpowder weapons are no better than others. Even Li Yin's son did not end well, let alone Yu Wenhu, who tried his best to persuade Li Shimin.

Next, Li Shimin and Li Yin watched from behind, while Yu Wenhu walked to the side of the box, and directed the people to open the first long box, and lifted out a large iron tube that was as thick as a person from the inside, and placed it far away in the field. And people moved many stone slabs, stone strips and other things to pile on it, forming a big stone mountain.

Then he connected the lead wires himself, and after a long stretch, he stopped and gestured to Li Yin, indicating that everything was ready.It was also the first time Li Yin saw the effect of this thing. He was afraid that Li Shimin was standing too close to him, so he stepped forward and said, "Father, we are still a little close. Do you think we should step back?"

"No, my father was also a person who fought on the battlefield back then. Haven't I seen any danger?" Li Shimin's face was a little displeased, thinking that Li Yin was too careful, and he didn't have the demeanor he had back then.Li Yin saw that he had no choice but to ask Yu Wenhu to prepare the fire, and at the same time asked the surrounding guards to prepare their shields, so that they could be covered in case any gravel fell over.

After Yu Wenhu received Li Yin's order, he immediately lit the fuse, then threw down the torch and ran away. The fuse behind him rushed all the way to the stone mountain with green smoke. When Yu Wenhu ran to Li Yin's side, the fuse was just right. After burning to the end, Li Yin felt that the whole world paused for a while, and then there was a loud "boom~", like a thunderbolt in the sky, shaking the earth continuously.

Li Yin saw that the rocky mountain in the distance exploded with a bang, and countless gravel and dust were flying in all directions, almost covering half of the sky.But they were still not far enough away, a lot of rubble rushed towards this side with the sound of the wind, Li Yin saw that many of the guards around him collapsed to the ground, unable to stand no matter how they stood, there was nothing they could do Raise your shield to defend.

Li Yin was startled when he saw this situation, and directly grabbed a guard's shield to block in front of Li Shimin, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Guards, get up and guard me!"

After all, these guards were well-trained, and they were just stunned by the shocking scene in front of them. At this time, when they heard Li Yin's roar, many people immediately reacted, and immediately gathered around Li Shimin and raised their shields to defend.

I only heard the sound of "ping, ping, pong, pong" on the shield, and Li Yin also felt that the shield in his hand was hit by several stones, and his hand sank and he almost lost his grip. After withstood the impact, Li Yin and the others dared to Lowering the shield, Li Yin turned around and looked at Li Shimin at the same time, only to be relieved when he found that the other party was safe and sound.

After all, Li Shimin was a generation of emperors, and he had battled for a long time. Naturally, his courage was not comparable to that of ordinary people, but even so, his face was pale with shock, and his arms were trembling slightly.When he saw Li Yin and the others guarding him, he finally came to his senses and settled down to maintain a good posture. When Li Yin looked back, he returned to the emperor of the world who never changed his face when the Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

"Liulang, what's the name of this thing?" The dust at the explosion site hadn't fallen yet, and he couldn't see what was going on inside. Li Shimin pulled Li Yin over and asked eagerly, but he didn't realize that his voice had become dry. And astringent.

"My father, this is a blasting tube made of gunpowder. It is mainly used to blow up the opponent's gates or walls when attacking the city." Li Yin replied solemnly, but at the same time he smiled secretly in his heart. It turns out that the emperor's father also Will be scared and nervous?Capital Datang 114

"Blasting tube? Good! Good stuff!" Li Shimin rubbed his hands, and said excitedly, "Quick, take me to see how it works!" After speaking, regardless of the dust in front of him, he rushed in excitedly , Li Yin and Yu Wenhu had no choice but to keep up.

When I walked to the front, I found that the stone mountain composed of stones just now had disappeared without a trace, and there were some broken stones around, and the closer to the explosion point, the more broken stones, and when I reached the place where the blasting tube was placed, I found that the ground A deep pit with a radius of several meters appeared on the ground, and blue smoke was even emitting from the pit, but the explosive tube was completely missing.

"Hiss~" Li Shimin and the surrounding guards gasped.Cold air, in their cognition, apart from the power of heaven and earth, it is hard for them to imagine anything else that can have such power?But the facts are right in front of them. They just saw with their own eyes that the master supervisor, Yu Wenhu, put a large iron cylinder under the stone mountain, and then it exploded into what it is now.

Li Shimin walked around the deep pit a few times excitedly, his hands trembling with joy, he stopped after a while, and asked Li Yin eagerly: "Liulang, what is the output of this blasting tube? All of our troops are equipped with this thing?"

Li Yin was dumbfounded after hearing this, and thought that the old man was really happy and confused. He only wanted to mention the principle of the blasting tube, and the other things were all done by Yu Wenhu. As for the equipment of the Tang army, this is a problem It's even more difficult to answer, even now he doesn't even know how many troops Datang has, so how can he answer?

Fortunately, there was a Yuwen guard next to him, who stepped forward to rescue Li Min and said, "Your Majesty, the production of the blasting tube is not complicated, but it consumes too much gunpowder, and its purpose can only be used to attack the opponent's city, so it is very useful." Due to restrictions, it is generally enough to keep a few in the army, and there is no need for large-scale equipment at all.”

Yu Wenhu's mind is still very clear, and his answers are very organized.Li Shimin was just dizzy with joy for a while, but now he heard Yu Wenhu's words, he immediately understood, patted his head and said 'not bad'.But I still praised Li Yin and Yu Wenhu. With this blasting tube, Datang's army can be said to be almost invincible in the future. Even the tall and solid city wall of Chang'an, if it is blasted in the same place many times, it will probably be destroyed. collapsed.

"Father, what you saw just now is a siege weapon. The following two weapons are more versatile, and they are designed to target the enemy's vital forces." Seeing that Li Shimin has seen the value of gunpowder weapons, Li Yin took a step forward and said again. . (to be continued)! ! !
