It's because this rocket launcher, for Li Sheng... is not complete at all, and it cannot be regarded as a serious rocket launcher.
After all, using bamboo tubes is too primitive...
But Li Sheng didn't throw this thing away either.
The reason is very simple, the power of this thing is really not bad.
Once ignited, it can fly over a distance of more than three hundred meters and carry about four grenade charges.
Although it is indeed more than a little worse than the RPGs of later generations.
Li Sheng's initial production was just...
Yes, it was just a trial production of fireworks, but after experiments, I found that the range of this thing is really good.
Of course it is much worse than the later Red Arrow series, but compared to the cheap and large-volume RPG7, there is no qualitative difference in this range!
Of course, the payload is still a lot smaller, and it doesn't have any armor-piercing capabilities.
But in this day and age, this thing...
Li Sheng thought for a moment that it would not be a problem to use tactical nuclear weapons...
Of course, the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty now had more than one weapon, so Li Sheng did not give these weapons to Lao Li and the others. Instead, he trial-produced a batch of them himself, planning to try making fireworks or something like that.
At this moment, Li Sheng was thinking about how to turn this primitive rocket tube into beautiful fireworks.
While I was thinking, there was a soft sound of footsteps beside me.
Wei Ziyu walked over with a plate of fruit in his hands.
"Principal, afternoon tea is here."
Hearing the soft voice made Li Sheng feel itchy. He didn't know when this girl learned such an accent...
"Ziyu, what color of meteors do you think looks better?"
Li Sheng picked up a piece of pear - this is a popular luxury product in Chang'an these days - looked at Wei Ziyu and asked.
But when Wei Ziyu heard this, he was confused at first.
"meteor?"
"Principal, this is...Principal, can you still summon meteors?!"
Wei Ziyu was immediately shocked.
Looking at Li Sheng's expression, it was like looking at a real god.
Damn it, I summoned the meteor all over the place.
If she were an ordinary charlatan, she might not even look at it, or she might barely even take a glance at it.
But this is a summoning meteor. Can that thing be summoned at will? It is simply outrageous...
Li Sheng smiled slightly.
"What's so difficult about this? But what you're summoning is not a real meteor, but a flaming reaction!"
"Flame reaction? This is again..."
Wei Ziyu already felt like he was about to faint.
What is this, what, what the hell, what is this!
I don’t understand, I’m a stupid cat purring…
Li Sheng was about to explain, but at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the small courtyard.
Li Sheng and Wei Ziyu were both startled. The footsteps outside were quite urgent, and they were not alone.
There was even the sound of horse hooves, and this sound, even by the standards of horse hooves...
It is also extremely fast.
A fast horse approaching?
Li Sheng directly raised the bamboo tube in his hand!
This thing actually needs to be launched from a special wooden rail, and it can even fire continuously, similar to the Katyusha.
But it’s okay to use it directly, just iron it.
Li Sheng squinted at the door of the courtyard, and after a while...
A call sounded outside the courtyard gate.
"Master! Master!"
"Open the door quickly! I'm Mian'er! It's urgent!"
"It's urgent! Master, it's urgent!"
Li Sheng was startled and looked at Wei Ziyu.
Mian'er?
Something urgent...
What's the emergency?
After all, Chang'an is under the emperor's feet. What's the emergency?
It's not like the Turkic army is coming. Isn't this a joke?
Li Sheng then opened the door.
After a few seconds, I was dumbfounded.
"What?!"
"Li Jing was defeated and the Turkic army went south...?!"
Li Sheng looked at Mian'er with a look of disbelief on his face.
Is this a joke? What is the quality of Li Jing's army? If others don't know what he has built, how can they not?
That's an army equipped with grenades, mines, and even arson bomb kits.
Not to mention, the armor alone and the powerful crossbow that only came out in the Song Dynasty were unique weapons in ancient times.
And this was the early Tang Dynasty, so the quality of the troops and the abundance of military virtue were not a problem.
That……
how so????
Mian'er didn't know the details, so she could only jump in the face of Li Sheng's doubts.
But after a while, the sound of horse hooves from behind quickly approached, and finally arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
Qin Ruochan's skirt fluttered and she quickly turned over and dismounted.
"Sir, the Turkic army is moving south. From today on, I will immediately lead my army north to aid General Li Jing. Please help me, sir!"
Qin Ruochan's tone was close to Duanyu's, and she was decisive.
Looking at Li Sheng, his eyes were a little dull, and his expression was complicated...
Although there is an edict from Li Er.
But she was Li Sheng's lieutenant after all, so she still wanted to say hello.
and……
Qin Ruochan always felt that leaving Chang'an this time...
I’m afraid I’ll never…never see you again…
No, there is no need to "feel" this. Thinking about it rationally, that's exactly what it is.
It is a high probability event that you will never come back.
Do you have to come back and take a last look...
Isn't it?
After saying that, Qin Ruochan was stunned, then took a breath and turned around to leave.
Then I have to go back to the Duke Protector's residence to meet my mother.
But just now.
Li Sheng suddenly said, "Why are you so anxious? Are you leaving now?"
"At least tell me what's going on?"
Qin Ruochan didn't know whether to be happy or sad and turned around, "What's there to say? The national crisis is at the forefront, and I am the son of the prince..."
"What are you talking about? Hurry up and report the situation!"
I don’t know why Qin Ruochan still followed Li Sheng into the courtyard obediently.
Li Sheng pulled up two chairs, sat down face to face with Qin Ruochan, and began to obtain information.
Wei Ziyu and Mian'er sat aside and were shocked to learn the horrific fact.
This time Li Jing led his army to the expedition,
According to the original configuration of the Imperial Army, this time the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty was completely invincible.
Even if you are ambushed, you can still fight.
However, Li Jing was about to win a complete victory, preferably without any casualties, so he had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time.
However, after nearly a month,
When Li Jing finally decided to take the initiative to search for the main Turkic force, he was really ambushed...
And it's no ordinary ambush.
Instead, an ambush using landmines and grenades!
Mian'er and Wei Ziyu were dumbfounded.
Damn...
Isn't this the principal's latest research result?
This fucking thing...can actually be obtained by the Turks?
The Turkic cavalry is already difficult to deal with, but now that they have grenades and landmines, it is even more terrifying...
No wonder...
No wonder this disaster happened.
It’s no wonder that even a seasoned veteran like Li Jing would encounter the plot of “hidden in the valley” and overturn.
It turns out that this is what happened behind the scenes...
After listening to Qin Ruochan's report, Li Sheng's mouth curled up quietly...
