Chapter 629 Your Majesty, I'll show you a good thing!
Li Xuan subconsciously touched his nose and said with a smile: "Since they want to lead troops to fight, Your Majesty will agree to them!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin's face became anxious.
Li Xuan continued: "It's just that there are requirements for leading soldiers to fight. You can't just fight with your mouth. For the safety of those soldiers, they need to be sent to the martial arts hall next door. When will they be able to get the fifth grade of the martial arts hall?
With the approval of a general, they can go out and lead troops to fight anytime!"
"wonderful!"
Hearing this, Li Shimin looked overjoyed, clasped his hands and laughed.
Then, he looked at Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong standing aside.
"For the sake of the safety of our sons in the Tang army, you must not relax your requirements on those traitors!"
On the side, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others quickly bowed their hands in salute.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we will treat everyone equally!"
Li Shimin was still a little relieved about these generals around him.
Although sometimes they are shameless, they still value the soldiers under their command very much.
"I will issue an edict tomorrow. Any prince who wants to go out to lead troops in war can enter the Jiangwu Hall. As long as his skill and military ability are recognized by the five generals of the Twelve Guards of the Jiangwu Hall, I can let him lead them.
With ten thousand troops, go out to conquer the feudal state!"
"Your Majesty, the princes, princes, and heirs of the Li family are not allowed to do the same?"
Li Xuan said slowly.
"Can!"
Li Shimin nodded.
Then, Li Xuan chuckled lightly and asked again: "I wonder if your Majesty has any other important events in the palace today, are you still in a hurry to go back?"
"What does Xuanba mean?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel angry, and almost stood up and walked out again.
"Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me, I'm just asking out of curiosity!"
Li Xuan still had a smile on his face.
"I have nothing to do today and am very free!"
Li Shimin said calmly.
"That's good!"
Li Xuan chuckled lightly, "In that case, there is a new good thing in the village, would your Majesty be willing to try it?"
"Fun thing?"
Li Shimin was startled and a little confused.
"Exactly!"
Li Xuan nodded slowly, "I call it a fire spear, but I also want to call it a fire sprayer, and I also want to call it a fire stick. It just so happens that your majesty and you are generals who often go to war, so we can think about it together!"
"Oh? Where is that thing?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others couldn't help but become interested.
"Xue Rengui, go to the forge and call the bandstand. Get two of the latest muskets and two more bottles of gunpowder!"
Li Xuan ordered Xue Rengui on the side, "I, His Majesty and others will wait for you on the hilltop, and then send Zheng Fu and other personal guards to block the entire hilltop!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xue Rengui responded and quickly walked out.
On the side, looking at this familiar routine, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were even more excited, looking at Li Xuan expectantly.
"Xuanba, is it a weapon similar to a bomb?"
"Roughly the same!"
Li Xuan nodded lightly, "It should be better than an arrow missing a bomb. Your Majesty will know it soon, and I can't explain it in detail to Your Majesty!"
In this regard, Li Shimin could only look helpless.
But he still followed Li Xuan and walked towards the hilltop.
Soon, it didn't take long for them to climb up the hill.
Xue Rengui also ran up with two strange-looking steel sticks that Li Shimin and others had.
Behind him, there was also a panting ink master, Le Tai!
"Your Majesty, the muskets are here!"
Xue Rengui handed the musket in his hand to Li Xuan, and then Li Shimin snatched it away.
Li Shimin turned his head up and down, and even put his eyes close to the holes in the musket. He looked at them carefully for a long time, making the bandstand beside him tremble with fear.
Fortunately, after the muskets were manufactured, their king strictly ordered them that the gunpowder and muskets must be stored in two separate rooms!
Li Xuan glanced at Li Shimin with a strange expression and said, "Your Majesty, this gun needs gunpowder to exert its power!"
"Where is the gunpowder?"
Li Shimin asked hurriedly, while looking at the two glass bottles in Bandai'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 you can 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 just standing there in a daze? Why don't you quickly demonstrate it to me and the generals?"
"Xue Rengui obeys your order!"
Xue Rengui responded hurriedly, and with the help of Bandai, filled the gun with gunpowder and then lit the fuse.
Then, before Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others could react, they heard a burst of thunder, and a stream of green smoke came out of the mouth of the musket in Xue Rengui's hand. The trunk of a big tree a hundred steps in front of them seemed to be struck by thunder.
It was like a crack, directly exploding a scar as big as the mouth of a bowl.
"hiss……"
Seeing this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others immediately took in a breath of air-conditioning subconsciously. Everyone looked at the trees in the distance with blank expressions. 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, which was directly blown up in the middle.
"This kind of 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 walking around in a circle, several people's expressions were even more shocked.
The faces of the two old killers, Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie, were already full of ferocity, and it was obvious that they had not yet recovered from the tragic situation of those tree trunks.
"Your Majesty, four trees were directly injured by this blow. One tree was broken in the middle, two pieces of bark were directly exploded, and one tree trunk was directly blasted with a scar as big as a bowl!"
Cheng Zhijie opened his mouth wide and his eyes were bright.
"Your Majesty, there are some trees around these four trees that have also been scratched!"
On the side, Li Xiaogong also said with a face full of surprise, "If it were placed on a soldier without armor, it would directly blow a hole in the arm!"
"So, if this shot goes down, it can directly damage a large area?"
Li Shimin said slowly.
"Your Majesty, it can only injure four or five enemy soldiers at most, and it's not very accurate either."
On the side, Li Xuan slowly shook his head and said: "Furthermore, I wonder if your majesty has noticed that the bullets fired by this kind of musket can only shoot a hundred steps at most, and there will be no killing power any further away."
"One hundred steps?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others were startled again.
Immediately, he quickly took another look and found that the big tree in the farthest place was indeed a hundred steps away, and his eyes became more and more shocked.
"Your Majesty, what a hundred steps!"
"I saw it!"
With that said, Li Shimin took the musket directly from Xue Rengui's hand, his eyes glowing green.
"That's enough, that's enough! If every one of the twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty has a weapon like this, which country in the world can resist the attack of the Royal Division of the Tang Dynasty?"
On the side, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others also had faces full of surprise.
You know, the most powerful long-distance attack weapon in this era is the crossbow.
However, heavy crossbows are cumbersome and difficult to carry. The thick crossbow arrows are capable of killing people at a distance of 150 steps. If they reach 200 steps, they can only rely on the weight of the crossbow arrows to hit people.
