Chapter 1,310: Scared to the point of starting a war!
According to Lu Dongzan's understanding of Fang Jun, this person is definitely a fanatical Han genius. In his eyes, except for the Han people and the Tang Dynasty, all other alien races do not need mercy, but only need to conquer.
Iron and fire, killing and conquest, that is his true nature.
Fang Jun represents the vast majority of the hardliners in the Tang army. He always thinks about expanding territory, making achievements, and leaving immortal achievements in history.
How could I bring out such a powerful weapon in advance so that I could retreat if I could not bear it?
Suddenly appearing on the battlefield and causing heavy damage to Tubo soldiers, this is what Fang Jun and others can do...
Lu Dongzan was suspicious, glanced at Fang Jun quietly and asked, "This kind of magic weapon is simply a powerful weapon that can seize the fortune of heaven and earth. It can open mountains and crack stones, move mountains and fill the seas! I wonder if I can be lucky enough to get closer and gain insights?"
He felt that although this thing seemed amazing, it was enough to prevent the three armies from fighting and making trouble, but perhaps there were still some flaws that had not been perfect, and perhaps they could not be brought to the battlefield at all...
If Fang Jun refuses to watch it close, although it may be because he is worried that the secret of this thing will be revealed by himself, it may also be that there are flaws as he imagined.
If you don’t understand this thing, Lu Dongzan will be unable to sleep or eat.
Fang Jun smiled and stretched out his hand indifferently: "What's the difficulty? Come on, let me explain it to the good friend of the general."
There is no intention of avoiding banishing...
Lu Dongzan was suspicious and followed Fang Jun to the cannon that had just dissipated the smoke.
A pungent smell of gunpowder perishes in the air.
Lu Dongzan widened his eyes and observed carefully. It was clearly a copper cylinder, so how could it emit such a shocking power? The Tang Dynasty was really skilled, and even such artifacts could be made!
The more Lu Dongzan looked at him, the more shocked he became.
"This object is called a cannon. After filling in secret gunpowder, it fires shotguns or iron bombs to kill the enemy. Its power is really huge. However, this cannon has been recently developed and is still in the research and development stage and has not been put into the battlefield. It is unknown how powerful it is on the specific battlefield. If Tubo really starts a war with the Tang Dynasty under the leadership of the Grand Prime Minister, he will not ask His Majesty to ask His Majesty to place the cannons of hundreds or eighty cannons on the top of Songzhou City, and sets up a few cannons to see how powerful it is in actual combat."
Fang Jun said lightly, but heard Lu Dongzan's eyes twitching.
Damn, use the lives of our Tubo soldiers to test the power of artillery?
He didn't know that Fang Jun said this so simply to scare him. What's more nonsense about the fact that he had not tested the power of actual combat. Not to mention that the warship equipped with artillery has long been invincible in the East China Sea. As a time traveler alone, where does the power of artillery need to be tested?
As long as we continue to improve the metallurgy level and continuously improve the quality of gunpowder, so that the cannon is more powerful and the range is longer!
In this era, artillery is the veritable king of war!
However, the artillery at this moment still has a fatal flaw - the output is too small and the manufacturing is too cumbersome!
Land warfare is different from naval warfare. No matter how grand the war is on the sea, there are only a few hundred ships. However, land warfare is different. In the face of the crazy charge of enemy cavalry all over the mountains, how many artillery do you need to cover the enemy? And how many artillery can the extremely slow fire speed have to fire?
Therefore, the natural enemy of the cavalry is not a powerful artillery, but a musket with faster firing speed...
Unfortunately, the development of muskets has been unsatisfactory, and the progress is slow. Not to mention the flintlock gun installed with flints, even the barrel of the cob is not ideal, and it will explode after a few shots...
Lu Dongzan reached out and touched the scorching cannon barrel. He felt the texture from the thick copper cast. He was shocked and frightened, and asked, "I wonder who made this thing?"
What kind of person can only be designed and manufactured with such powerful weapons?
The military officer next to him said proudly: "Of course he is the prefect of Fang!"
Lu Dongzan looked at Fang Jun in shock.
It actually...was this kid designed it?
Damn... He can write poetry, make money, and make artillery, he is simply a genius!
Why aren’t such people born in Tubo?
Fang Jun was not so proud that he raised his eyebrows, "Da Xiang wants to have a shot with his own hands and feel the power of this landslide and cracks?"
Lu Dongzan almost thought he had tinnitus: "I can do it?"
This is a magic weapon!
It is reasonable to let yourself take a look, so as to shock yourself, and then let yourself go back and persuade Songtsen Gampo to dispel the idea of going to war with the Tang Dynasty. But it is reasonable to let you see, touch, and make yourself a shot... Are you not afraid that you will understand the secrets and imitate them after returning to Tubo?
Fang Jun smiled and said, "Of course, the great prime minister is not only the close friend of the official, but also the friend of the Tang Dynasty. Everything about the great prime minister will not be retained in front of the great prime minister!"
Just kidding, can you imitate it by looking at it?
In order to get an aircraft engine, later generations even had to buy dozens of fighter jets with huge sums of money... Are they afraid that you will imitate it?
Don't be afraid!
Why? Materials!
Without materials, what you make is just a waste!
Besides, the Tang Dynasty’s confidentiality level of gunpowder formula is now tighter than that of His Majesty Li Er’s dragon bed. Even if you can sneak into the palace and sleep in His Majesty Li Er’s bedroom for a night, you can’t even get the complete formula of gunpowder!
Without gunpowder, what's the point of making artillery?
"Haha..." Lu Dongzan refused to comment, but he was excited to see the cannon grinding his fists and rubbing his palms.
The military officer looked at Fang Jun and hesitated a little.
This cannon is the highest level secret of the Tang Dynasty. How can a foreigner operate it himself? However, since Fang Jun agreed, he did not dare to say much. Seeing Fang Jun nodding, the military officer recruited soldiers and taught Lu Dongzan how to operate and how to fire the cannon.
The soldiers stepped forward to clean the gun barrel, filled the gunpowder, and put the shotgun in...
Lu Dongzan held the torch, his palms were a little sweaty, and for some reason he felt nervous. When the soldiers were loading up, the little red flag behind him was raised and waved it a few times before Lu Dongzan swallowed and brought the torch closer to the lead.
"Sir..."
The sparks ignited, burning rapidly and shortening.
Lu Dongzan was still staring at her eyes wide, wanting to carefully observe the launch of the cannons. He decided to get the gunpowder of the Tang Dynasty after returning to Tubo, and then imitate such cannons! Otherwise, if the Tang Dynasty mastered such magical weapons and weapons, wouldn’t Tubo always be controlled by others? Isn’t his descendants going to become vassals of the Tang Dynasty forever and be bullied forever?
The soldier ran out a few steps and saw Lu Dongzan standing stupidly next to the cannon. He was almost scared to death. He quickly came back and grabbed Lu Dongzan's arm and ran away.
Lu Dongzan shouted: "Let go, let go, let me see..."
The leads burned into the barrel.
The next moment...
"boom!"
The deafening sound suddenly sounded, and the harsh cannon barrel seemed to be thrust hard by an invisible whip. It jumped up suddenly, but was tightly grabbed by the fixed cannon stand below, just moving a foot away as a whole.
The flames ejected from the muzzle mixed with shotguns ejected out, and the wooden targets that had just been erected in the distance once again flew into a mess!
Lu Dongzan was too close to him, and the sound of cannons shocked his head, and his eyes were filled with flowers, his mouth wide open, and his expression was dull...
Too fierce!
This is simply the curse of gods and Buddhas coming to the earth, which is enough to destroy everything and turn all the world into powder!
How to fight against flesh and blood?
Lu Dongzan looked dull and was dragged by the soldiers and sat down on the ground. He didn't feel the indecent or rudeness of his posture at this moment. His mind was completely shocked by the roaring power of the cannon!
Tubo is in danger...
The Tang Dynasty did not attack Tubo first and was considered as a blessing from the Buddha. Tubo actually wanted to stage a snake swallowing an elephant and attack the Tang Dynasty?
Fang Jun looked at Lu Dongzan's distraught expression and smiled with satisfaction.
His Majesty Li Er was not particular and actually asked himself to solve the crisis that Tubo wanted to invade... Although the problem was caused by himself, he was also for the good of the Tang Dynasty?
But this won't help us.
What is the best way to eliminate the threat of war?
deterrence!
Although the number of artillery is too rare now, it can't support a large war... But Lu Dongzan doesn't know! The powerful cannon that is shown in front of Lu Dongzan now is enough to sweep everything through mountains and crack rocks. I'll ask if you are afraid!
Fang Jun took two steps forward and asked Lu Dongzan a smile: "How does Da Xiang feel?"
Lu Dongzan turned a deaf ear and felt depressed and despair.
The future of Tubo...is dark.
Chapter completed!
