Li Shimin

Xue Rengui responded, and hurried out.

On the side, seeing this familiar routine, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were even more excited, looking at Li Xuan expectantly.

"Xuan Ba, is it a weapon like a bomb?"

"more or less!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly, "It should be better than arrow bombs. Your Majesty will know in a while, and I can't explain it to Your Majesty in detail!"

In this regard, Li Shimin could only look helpless.

But he still followed Li Xuan and walked towards the hill.

Soon, it didn't take long for them to climb up the hill.

Xue Rengui also ran up with two steel sticks that Li Shimin and others looked very strange.

Behind him, followed by a panting ink cure, Le Tai!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the muskets are coming!"

Xue Rengui handed the musket in his hand to Li Xuan, and then Li Shimin directly snatched one away.

Li Shimin turned one side up and down, and even put his eyes close to the holes in the musket, and looked carefully for a long while, while the bandstand beside him was trembling with fear.

Fortunately, since the manufacture of the muskets was completed, the king has strictly ordered them that gunpowder and muskets must be kept in separate rooms for safekeeping!

Li Xuan glanced at Li Shimin with a strange face, and said, "Your Majesty, this musket needs to use that gunpowder to exert its power!"

"Where's the gunpowder?"

Li Shimin asked hastily, while looking at the two glass bottles in Letai's hand.

"Your Majesty, this musket is more dangerous than a bomb. You'd better let Xue Rengui demonstrate it to you first, and then play by yourself!"

Li Xuan said quickly.

"Can!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly, then looked at Xue Rengui, who was still stunned, and stared.

"Why are you still standing there in a daze, why don't you show me and the generals quickly?"

"Xue Rengui obeys!"

Xue Rengui responded hastily, and with the help of the bandstand, he filled the musket with gunpowder, and then lit the fuse.

Then, before Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others could react, they heard a thunderclap, and a blue smoke came out from the muzzle of the musket in Xue Rengui's hand. On the trunk of a big tree a hundred steps in front of them, it seemed to be struck by thunder. Like a split, it directly blasted a scar the size of a bowl.

"hiss……"

Seeing this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others subconsciously took a deep breath, and all of them stared blankly at the trees in the distance, and there was silence in the woods.

Several trees on the road between that tree and Xue Rengui also had some scars, and there was even a small tree that was only as thick as an arm, and it was blown right down the middle.

"This musket weapon is so terrifying?"

Afterwards, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others subconsciously walked towards those trees and looked at them one by one.

After turning around in a circle, the faces of several people were even more shocked.

And the faces of Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie, the two old killers, were already grim, and they obviously hadn't recovered from the tragedy of those tree poles.

"Your Majesty, four trees were directly injured by this blow, one tree was blown off in the middle, two pieces of bark were directly blasted, and the trunk of one tree was directly blown into a scar the size of a bowl!"

Cheng Zhijie opened his mouth wide, eyes full of light.

"Your Majesty, around these four trees, there are still some trees that have been scratched!"

On the side, Li Xiaogong also said with a full face of regret, "If it is placed on a soldier without armor, it will directly blow a hole in the arm!"

"So, if this shot goes down, can it directly injure a large area?"

Li Shimin said slowly.

"Your Majesty, you can only injure four or five enemy soldiers at most, and they are not very accurate."

On the side, Li Xuan shook his head slowly and said: "Besides, I wonder if Your Majesty has noticed that the bullets fired by this kind of musket can only shoot a hundred paces at most, and they have no killing power any farther away."

"A hundred steps?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others were startled again.

Immediately, he took a quick look again, and found that the big tree in the farthest distance was indeed a hundred steps away, and the more shocked his eyes were.

"Your Majesty, what a hundred steps!"

"I saw it!"

As he said that, Li Shimin took the musket directly from Xue Rengui's hand, with a green light in his eyes.

"It's enough, it's enough! If all the Twelve Guardsmen of my Great Tang can hold such a sharp weapon, which other country in the world can resist the attack of my Great Tang Master?"

On the side, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others were also full of surprises.

You know, the most powerful long-distance attack weapon in this era is the crossbow.

However, the heavy crossbow is heavy and heavy, not to mention that it is not easy to carry. The thick crossbow arrow shoots 150 steps, which is the longest distance for killing power.If it reaches two hundred steps, it can only rely on the weight of the crossbow to hit people.

……

Chapter 630 Such a Powerful Musket

Datang's standard infantry bow is the lightweight Sangtuo wood longbow, and the cavalryman's long-tipped horn bow. The range of these two bows is also similar, and the ultimate lethal force is between 140 and [-] steps.

But at such a long distance, the general army shoots arrows between [-] and [-] paces, and even in order to break through armor, the army can not shoot until [-] paces.

In this case, when the army is fighting, after one round or two rounds of shooting, the army can draw out their knives and fight hand-to-hand!

Only the strong bows used by generals like Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong can reach about [-] paces.

Therefore, regarding the musket in front of them, Cheng Zhijie, Li Shimin and others trembled subconsciously.

Cheng Zhijie licked his lips and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, within a hundred steps of this musket, you are invincible in the world!"

Li Shimin ignored Cheng Zhijie, but imitated Xue Rengui's action just now, motioning to the bandstand to fill him with gunpowder and iron.

"I'll try it first before I say anything!"

Seeing this, Xue Rengui and Le Tai were both startled, and quickly looked at Li Xuan who was at the side.

"Your Majesty, this musket is very dangerous. If you want to try it, please put on your armor and try again!"

Li Xuan said.

"Do you still need to put on armor?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was a little dissatisfied.

"Naturally, Xue Rengui dare not try without armor, let alone your golden body!" Li Xuan said firmly.

"Put armor on me!"

Li Shimin sighed helplessly, and directly handed the musket in his hand to Li Wei who was beside him, opened his arms, and signaled Xue Rengui to put the armor on him quickly!

Afterwards, after Xue Rengui and Li Xiaogong joined forces to put on armor for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin looked at Li Xuan expectantly.

Seeing this, Li Xuan signaled Xue Rengui and Le Tai to reload the musket in Li Shimin's hand.

Then, after Li Shimin set it up, he lit the fuse with flint on the band stage, and then ran away.

As for Li Shimin, he felt an explosion in his ears, and a huge force came from his right shoulder. Fortunately, he was wearing armor, but it only hurt a little.

However, Li Shimin soon had no time to think about it, and quickly raised his head to look at the big tree a hundred paces away that he was aiming at.

He couldn't help but took another breath of air, and then his face was full of excitement.

Although he missed the one he was aiming at, the three trees around that tree suffered disaster!

The bark on the trunk had been bombarded badly, and even the inside of the trunk was blasted into broken holes the size of fists, with small pieces of iron embedded in them.

"Hahaha, good item!"

"It is indeed a sharp weapon!"

As he said that, Li Xiaogong on the side couldn't help it anymore, so he directly took off a suit of armor from a guard on the side, and put it on him.

After that, he looked at Li Xuan eagerly.

Seeing this, Li Xuan sighed helplessly, and handed the musket in his hand to Li Xiaogong.

Sure enough, shooting a gun is the greatest pleasure for a man!

At the same time, he also kicked Li Chongyi who was on the side, "Li Chongyi, I will teach you, Ah Ye, to shoot!"

"Yes, Master!"

Unable to escape, Li Chongyi had no choice but to accept.

He took a bottle of gunpowder from the bandstand beside him, and carefully taught Li Xiaogong to shoot a gun.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhijie, Duan Zhixuan, Fang Xuanling and others also surrounded him, looking at Li Xiaogong eagerly.

Li Xuan found a clean stone, sat on it, and watched the group of veteran killers destroy his hill with all their might.

Perhaps, he has opened a Pandora's box for Datang!

The age of firearms has arrived!

After half an hour.

The two bottles of gunpowder brought by the band have been used up, and the forest has been ruined.Only then did Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and the others put down the hot guns in their hands with unsatisfactory faces.

"Xuanba, this thing is much more powerful than that arrow bomb!"

"It's natural!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly, "Although the shooting range of this musket is weaker than that of a bow and arrow, it is better in precision, and the shooting is not affected by wind speed and rainy weather.

It is also powerful.

Even if it is an enemy army wearing iron armor, if it dares to approach within a hundred steps, it can knock down a large area with one shot. The more enemy troops, the greater the power of the musket.As for the bow and arrow, only one can be shot to death at a time! "

"It's just, it's a pity that I let Letai and other ink masters study for so long, and I can only increase the range of the musket to a hundred steps at most! If I want to increase the range of the musket again, I can only improve the structure of the musket, but according to forging The current equipment in the workshop is simply useless!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others subconsciously expressed regret.

Immediately, he realized that this kind of musket was already so powerful, what more could he ask for?

Then, thinking of something, Li Shimin asked again: "Xuan Ba, is it easy to make this kind of musket?"

"easy!"

Li Xuan nodded lightly, "This kind of musket has no technical content. As long as you have an experienced blacksmith who can forge iron, have gunpowder, and have the blueprint of this kind of musket, you can make several muskets in a day!"

"So easy?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned slightly.

"Ok!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, "But this musket also relies on good steel and gunpowder, so ordinary small workshops can't produce such quality if they want to make it!"

Li Shimin didn't think about it, but looked at Li Xuan again.

"Xuanba, how many people know the blueprint of this kind of musket?"

"Return to Your Majesty, only Le Tai and I and a few Mohist masters know!"

Li Xuan replied.

"This blueprint must not be leaked!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this blueprint will never be leaked from Li Family Manor!" Li Xuan said.

On the side, Le Tai and other Mohist practitioners also nodded firmly.

"These blueprints and musket formulas have always been kept in the forge, and the craftsmen in the forge never take anything out, even small pieces of iron!"

"If that's the case, then I can rest assured. If this kind of conquest weapon is leaked out and controlled by the enemy country, then our Tang Dynasty will be in danger!"

Li Shimin said.
