Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1312 You are so scared that you dare not go to war!
According to Lu Dongzan's understanding of Fang Jun, this person is definitely a fanatical Han advocate. In his eyes, except for the Han people and the Tang Dynasty, all other races are objects that do not need pity, but only need to be conquered.

Iron and fire, killing and conquering, that is his true nature.

Fang Jun represents the vast majority of the hardliners in the Tang army, thinking all day long about opening up territories, making contributions, and leaving immortal achievements in the history.

How could he bring out such a powerful weapon in advance, so that he retreated in spite of the difficulties?

Suddenly appearing on the battlefield and injuring the Tubo soldiers, this is something people like Fang Jun can do...

Suspicious in his heart, Lu Dongzan glanced at Fang Jun quietly, and asked, "This kind of magic weapon is simply amazing. It can break mountains and rocks, move mountains and fill seas! I wonder if I will be lucky enough to take a closer look. Gain knowledge?"

He felt that although this thing seemed to be amazingly powerful, it was enough for the three armies to change, and it was not suitable for all husbands, but there might be some flaws that were not perfect, and maybe it couldn't be put on the battlefield at all...

If Fang Jun refuses to take a closer look, although it may be because he is worried that the secret of this thing will be discovered by him, it may also be as flawed as he imagined.

If you don't understand this matter, Lu Dongzan will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Fang Jun chuckled, and stretched out his hand indifferently: "What's so difficult about this? Come, come, wait for me to explain it to the good student."

There is no intention of avoiding prevarication at all...

Lu Dongzan was suspicious, and followed Fang Jun to the cannon that had just cleared the smoke.

A pungent smell of gunpowder lingers in the air.

Lu Dongzan's eyes widened, observing carefully back and forth.It is clearly a cylinder made of copper, how can it emit such earth-shattering power?Datang really has countless skillful craftsmen, even such artifacts can be made!
The more Lu Dongzan looked at it, the more frightened he became.

"This thing is called a cannon. It is a sharp weapon that fires shotgun or iron bullets after being filled with secret gunpowder to kill the enemy. It is really powerful. However, this cannon was recently successfully developed and is still in the research and development stage. It has not been put into the battlefield. How powerful it will be on the specific battlefield is unknown. If Tubo really goes to war with the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of the Prime Minister, it is impossible for me to ask His Majesty to transport this cannon to the top of Songzhou City. Let's see how powerful it is in actual combat."

Fang Jun said lightly, but Lu Dongzan's eyes twitched wildly.

What the hell, use the lives of our Tubo soldiers to test the power of artillery?

He didn't know that Fang Jun's words were purely to scare him, and it was nonsense that he hadn't tested the actual combat power, not to mention that warships equipped with artillery were already invincible in the East China Sea. To experiment?

As long as the level of metallurgy is continuously improved, the quality of gunpowder is continuously improved, so that the artillery is more powerful and has a longer range!
In this era, artillery is the veritable king of war!
It's just that the current artillery still has a fatal flaw - the output is too small, and the production is too cumbersome!

Land battles are different from sea battles. No matter how grand the battle is on the sea, there are only a few hundred ships. However, land battles are different. Facing the crazy charge of enemy cavalry all over the mountains and plains, how many artillery pieces are needed to cover the enemy?And how many shots can the artillery with an extremely slow rate of fire have time to fire?
Therefore, the natural enemy of the cavalry is not a powerful artillery, but a musket with a faster rate of fire...

It's a pity that the development of muskets has been unsatisfactory, and the progress has been slow in the deep nest. Not to mention the flintlock guns equipped with flints, even the barrels of arquebus guns are not ideal, and the chamber will explode after a few shots...

Lu Dongzan stretched out his hand to touch the scorching gun barrel, feeling the texture of the thick copper casting. His heart was full of shock and fear, and he asked, "I wonder who made this thing?"

What kind of person must be able to design and manufacture such a powerful weapon?
The military officer at the side said proudly: "Of course it's Fangfu Yin!"

Lu Dongzan looked at Fang Jun in astonishment.

Actually... was it designed by this kid?

What the hell...he can write poetry, make money, and make cannons, what a genius!

Why were these characters not born in Tubo?
Fang Jun didn't have much pride, so he raised his eyebrows, "Major Minister, do you want to shoot a cannon yourself, and feel the power of this kind of landslide?"

Lu Dongzan almost thought his ears were ringing: "Is that okay?"

This is a magical weapon!
Let yourself take a look, so as to deter yourself, and then make yourself go back to dissuade Songtsan Gampo from giving up the idea of ​​​​going to war with Datang, which is justified.But let him see it, touch it, and let himself shoot it... Aren't you afraid that you will know the meaning of it and imitate it after you return to Tubo?

Fang Jun smiled and said: "Of course, the Prime Minister is not only my best friend, but also a friend of Datang. Everything about Datang will not be reserved in front of the Prime Minister!"

Just kidding, can you imitate it just by looking at it?
In order to get an aero engine, later generations even had to spend a huge sum of money to buy dozens of fighter jets... Are they afraid that you will imitate it?

Don't be afraid!
why?Material!
Without materials, what you make is a waste product!

Furthermore, the secrecy level of the gunpowder formula in Datang is now stricter than that of His Majesty Li Er's dragon bed. formula!

Without gunpowder, what's the point of making a cannon?

"Hehe..." Lu Dongzan was noncommittal, but he was very excited to see the cannon gearing up and eager to try.

The military officer looked at Fang Jun, hesitant.

This cannon is currently the highest level secret in Datang, how can a foreigner operate it by himself?But since Fang Jun agreed, he didn't dare to say more.Seeing Fang Jun nodding, the military attache recruited soldiers to teach Lu Dongzan how to operate and how to fire a cannon.

The soldiers stepped forward to clean the barrel, fill the gunpowder, and put in the shotgun...

Lu Dongzan was holding the torch, his palms were sweating, and he felt nervous for some reason.After the soldiers finished loading and the small red flag behind them was raised and waved a few times, Lu Dongzan swallowed his saliva and brought the torch closer to the fuse.

"呲呲..."

The spark ignited, burning and shortening rapidly.

Lu Dongzan was still watching with wide eyes, wanting to carefully observe the firing of the artillery. He decided that after returning to Tubo, he must get the gunpowder from the Tang Dynasty, and then imitate this artillery!Otherwise, after Datang mastered such magical weapons, wouldn't Tubo be under the control of others forever?Could it be that the children and grandchildren will become the vassals of the Tang Dynasty forever and be oppressed from generation to generation?
The soldier ran out a few steps and saw Lu Dongzan standing beside the artillery in a daze. He almost died of fright, so he hurried back and grabbed Lu Dongzan's arm and ran away.

Lu Dongzan yelled: "Let go, let go, let me see..."

The fuse blazed into the barrel.

next moment……

"boom!"

There was a deafening sound suddenly, and the hard gun barrel seemed to be whipped violently by an invisible whip, and jumped up suddenly, but was firmly held by the fixed gun mount below, but the whole body moved a foot away .

The flames sprayed from the muzzle mixed with shotguns sprayed out, and the wooden target that had just been erected in the distance once again flew into a mess with sawdust!
Lu Dongzan was too close, the sound of the cannon made his head buzz, his eyes were blurry, his mouth was wide open, his expression was dull...

Too fierce!
This is simply the curse of the gods and Buddhas descending on the human world, enough to destroy everything and turn everything in the mortal world into ashes!
Flesh and blood, how to resist?

Lu Dongzan's expression was dull, and he was dragged down to the ground by the soldiers. He didn't feel the indecentness and disrespect of his posture at the moment, and was completely shocked by the shocking power of the roaring cannon in his mind!

Tubo is in danger...

If the Tang Dynasty did not attack Tubo first, it would be regarded as the blessing of the Buddha, but Tubo actually wanted to stage a snake swallowing elephant and attack Datang?

Fang Jun looked at Lu Dongzan's distraught expression, and smiled very satisfied.

His Majesty Li Er didn't pay attention to it, and actually let him solve the crisis that Tubo wanted to invade... Although the problem was caused by himself, but he was also doing it for the good of Datang?
But this can't help us.

What is the best means of eliminating the threat of war?
deterrence!

Although the number of cannons is too scarce now, it is far from being able to support a large-scale war... But Lu Dongzan doesn't know!Now before Lu Dongzan's eyes, this kind of artillery that is powerful enough to break mountains and sweep away everything, just ask you if you are afraid!
Fang Jun took two steps forward, and asked Lu Dongzan with a smile, "How does Prime Minister feel?"

Lu Dongzan turned a deaf ear, full of frustration and despair.

The future of Tubo...is gloomy.
