Datang Longya

Chapter 199 Viper
As soon as Li Shimin finished reviewing the memorial, Zhang Zhongqing insisted that the emperor find a way for him.

At this time, the third watch had passed, and Li Shimin was too sleepy to keep his eyes open, so he could only agree to Zhang Zhongqing's request and took Yang Yi out.

Amidst the laughter of "hehehehe", Zhang Zhongqing flipped through the books left by Leng Feng. He skipped the first three or four pages of "Safety Regulations", and ignored the manufacturing process in the middle, and turned directly to the introduction of the finished product.

"Although the artillery is powerful and heavy, it takes a lot of effort to move, but its power is astonishing. Although the actual power is not as powerful as the ground-level thunder, its range is higher than that of the trebuchet. It is used for city defense..."

Zhang Zhongqing quickly finished reading the introduction, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Grandma, I know this guy is hiding it! The Thunder Arrow matches the human-level Thunder, and the Earth-level Thunder should have a long-range weapon that matches it. !"

Li Shimin was drowsy at first, but when he heard Zhang Zhongqing talking about gunpowder weapons, he regained his energy and asked quickly, "Zhongqing, what is written in the book?"

Zhang Zhongqing grinned and said, "It's called 'artillery', and it's a weapon of the same level as Earth-level Thunderbolt. If Thunder Arrow is on the same level as Human-level Thunderbolt, then this cannon is Earth-level Thunderbolt. It's just that its principle is different." It's different from the Thunder Arrow, but it uses the same principle as the Cloud Piercing Arrow... Let me see Ang."

Zhang Zhongqing went back to the front and turned a few pages before continuing: "This thing is actually similar to the Ba Niu Crossbow, both of which are heavyweight things..."

Where did Zhang Zhongqing talk eloquently, but Li Shimin became dizzy when he heard it: "Zhongqing, stop for a moment, I still can't understand, show me the book."

Hearing what the emperor said, Zhang Zhongqing gave the book to the emperor with great reluctance. After reading it for a while, Li Shimin asked, "Can this thing be made?"

Zhang Zhongqing nodded: "It's not difficult to make, but...it's easy to blow up!"

"Explode?" Li Shimin unfolded the page with **: "You said this thing will explode?"

Zhang Zhongqing wondered: "This thing is actually equivalent to half a ground-level thunder. With such a large amount of charge, the barrel is easy to explode before the cannon is ejected. The current iron-making technology of Jiang Zuojian is really not very good."

The backwardness of smelting technology is the biggest factor that checks and balances the emergence of artillery. Therefore, although gunpowder appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, artillery was not manufactured until the Southern Song Dynasty.

Li Shimin returned the book to Zhang Zhongqing, thought for a while and said, "It's better not to make it, this thing is so dangerous, it's not worthwhile for you to lose your life while studying it!"

Holding the book in his hands, Zhang Zhongqing said decisively: "Build! Even if I lose my life, I must build it! As long as the artillery can be built, it will be the second Great Wall. Your Majesty should be able to see its value. How can you hesitate? Woolen cloth?"

After speaking, Zhang Zhongqing bowed his hands to Li Shimin and left.

He needs a good sleep now, and after he has had enough sleep, he will submerge himself in the study of artillery. It is best to build it before Leng Feng returns to Beijing, lest this kid hide it all day long!
Li Shimin looked at Zhang Zhongqing's back and suddenly felt sad, he really owed Zhang Zhongqing a lot!

But before Li Shimin could continue to express his emotions, suddenly a eunuch rushed in with a box and reported that Hongling from the border had urgently reported.

At this time, there was only one battlefield in Gaochang. Calculating the time, Li Xiaogong and Li Jing had only arrived in Gaochang for more than ten days. Did something happen in Gaochang?
Li Shimin hurriedly opened the Hongling emergency report, but found that the box contained a victory report document instead of a request for help document.

After reading the documents, Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief. Li Jing and the others arrived in Gaochang only a dozen days ago, minus the time for the urgent report, only a few days, but Gaochang King Qu Wentai had already been captured alive. The remnants of the army in the territory.

In Li Xiaogong's handwritten document, he praised the sharpness of gunpowder weapons throughout. It can be said that the smooth battle in Gaochang was thanks to the gunpowder weapons.

And the damage in this battle surprised Li Shimin even more, three thousand!

This is not to say too much, but too little!
When an army of 5 people conquers a country, it is normal to lose more than 5000% of the battle. That is to say, Li Shimin's heart position is [-] people, but the actual situation is that the number of people killed in battle is not even a fraction of [-]. arrive!

Li Shimin closed the document and sighed: "Gunpowder weapons are indeed military weapons! Zhang Zhongqing is right, artillery is better researched!"

The third watch passed, but the emperor did not go to bed, so the empress could only come over to have a look, and send some supper to Li Shimin by the way.

Looking at the empress who was already showing her belly, Li Shimin said angrily: "These things, as long as the maids do it, you are now a queen, so you can rest assured to raise your baby!"

The queen put a few side dishes on the dragon table, and said with a smile: "Isn't this my concubine still full of belly? You really are, it's so late, why don't you take a rest."

Li Shimin smiled, took a few mouthfuls of food with his chopsticks, looked at the queen's belly and said, "I don't know if Shuwen is pregnant now, I am looking forward to getting married with Duke Xun!"

"Damn it!" Leng Feng almost sneezed again.

At this moment, Leng Feng, who is still lying on the grass at the commanding heights, has no time to make a villain. The south of the Lingnan is foggy, and it is the time when the fog is thick. Leng Feng's clothes and armor will soon become wet. After two hours pass , it was completely drenched.

This has to make Leng Feng rejoice that he didn't let the dogs bring gunpowder weapons. The waterproof fuze researched by Zhang Zhongqing can only be said to be waterproof for a short time. Water, of course, can go wrong.

Huang Zerui snored again, Leng Feng reluctantly pushed him to stop, and just slept during the mission, why is he still snoring?

It was really hard for him, he was still able to sleep with his whole body wet.

However, if Leng Feng knew that this guy could fall asleep with most of his body in the water, he would probably feel "really awesome".

Leng Feng pushed Huang Zerui, successfully making him stop snoring, but when Huang Zerui turned over, Leng Feng almost turned the gun head directly!
I saw a snake head rising from the outside of Huang Zerui's waist!
Why do you say rise?Because the snake has a flat neck...  

cobra!
What Leng Feng fears most in this era is being bitten by a venomous snake, especially a venomous snake such as a cobra. If he is bitten by it, he will die without anti-venom.

Leng Feng didn't want Huang Zerui to be short of arms and legs!So he pointed the sniper rifle at the cobra, and he would rather expose his position than save Huang Zerui's life!
