When they climbed the wall again, their minds were extremely complex. They were naturally familiar with the wall. But this time, they even felt a little frightened when they walked up the wall, which they trusted. They always felt some instability under their feet. However, seeing that Li Shimin and Merton took the lead on the wall, the generals were a little more secure.
The last time they came to see the power of gunpowder bombs, however, although the power of gunpowder bombs was powerful, they only hurt the skin of the city wall. At most, they were charred or loosened a few bricks.
This time, however, it was different. The whole city wall was blown open for more than ten feet and broke in two. People could imagine the shock in their hearts when they looked at the ruins of the broken wall.
The mood of the generals was very dignified. From another point of view, if they were standing on the wall at that time, no matter how many weapons, soldiers and how well prepared they were, I''m afraid they could not escape. At the moment when the city was broken, a general guarding the city was broken through the wall, I''m afraid there was only a dead end, even if they escaped by chance.
"Shouldn''t it be cutting corners?"
Eldest sun Shunde couldn''t believe it. He boldly went to the side of the section and looked at the section of the wall. The wall of Merton was not built long ago. I''m afraid it''s not so strong!
However, to his disappointment, Merton did not cut corners, but used real materials. All the walls were made of the best bricks and clay embryos, all bonded with glutinous rice juice, which was no worse than the ordinary walls.
In fact, more than that, this section of the city wall was first built by Merton to test the power of explosion. It can be said to be the strongest section of all the city walls, but Rao is so, he still can''t resist the power of gunpowder.
Li Shimin couldn''t help but check it again, but couldn''t help but refuse to accept the fact that this is indeed a real wall. Merton didn''t exaggerate. Gunpowder can really destroy the city and pass.
"Is there such a magic weapon in the world?" Cheng Yaojin was shocked. The generals nodded one after another. They haven''t returned to God yet.
"How much gunpowder did the firearm supervisor share this time?" Li Shimin asked Huoran.
Merton smiled, stretched out five fingers and said, "full 5000 kilograms of gunpowder."
Five thousand kilograms of gunpowder is almost the output of the firearm supervisor in ten days. According to Merton''s quotation, five thousand kilograms of gunpowder is worth at least 50000 liang of silver, which can be described as a sky high price. Coupled with the damaged city walls, it is even more valuable.
However, this time Li Shimin didn''t feel any pain at all, but endless joy. These weapons that can determine the victory or defeat in one blow are worth more than ten times more.
"How much gunpowder is left in the firearm prison?" Li Shimin asked according to the excitement in his heart.
Merton replied, "at present, the firearm supervisor has 5000 kg of finished gunpowder ammunition and 10000 kg of gunpowder in stock. Moreover, the current output of the firearm supervisor can produce 5000 kg of gunpowder every ten days. If there is enough saltpeter and more craftsmen, the output can be increased."
"All these gunpowder will be needed by the Western expeditionary army, and how much will be needed in the future." Li Jing couldn''t wait to say. If these weapons are used properly, the world will be determined in the first World War, and Li Jing will not let go.
Merton looked at Li Shimin when he heard the speech. Li Shimin nodded slowly and said, "the firearms supervisor will make all the stored gunpowder into gunpowder bullets and hand them over to the western expedition for standby."
The western expedition must win but not lose. Datang naturally wants to do his best to win this battle. Li Shimin will not be pedantic and hold a sharp weapon instead of using it.
Merton nodded and arched his hand: "General Li, don''t worry, boy. Let the firearm producer make gunpowder bullets to ensure that they will all be delivered to Lanzhou before the war."
At this time, the army has not set out yet. The army starts from Chang''an City and arrives in Lanzhou. Even if the brick road is smooth, it can''t arrive in half a month. Rao is so fast.
However, Li Jing shook her head and said, "what I would want is not only gunpowder. There is mohou you!"
"Me!" Merton pointed at himself in surprise and asked incredulously.
Li Jing nodded and said, "the gunpowder weapon was created by mohou. Who else can use it well except you can use it. This western expedition naturally needs mohou to command the gunpowder weapon."
In fact, Li Jing''s words are somewhat watery. Gunpowder weapons are simple and easy to use. As long as the idea and method, it doesn''t make any difference who uses them. After all, gunpowder is too important. If it is put in his hand, I''m afraid it will be criticized. In this way, the most suitable weapon for managing gunpowder naturally belongs to Merton.
Moreover, the boy Merton has made many tricks. Maybe he will have unexpected gains with Merton.
Li Shimin would not have missed this. He nodded at the speech and said, "OK, let Merton lead the firearms supervisor to Tuyuhun."
Merton immediately bowed down and said, "I will obey!"
The Tuyuhun war, which was pushed by him, took place a year ahead of schedule, and one of the purposes of the western expedition was Qinghai Salt Lake. Naturally, he was indispensable. Originally, he was prepared to start the salt industry after the war. Now it''s not a big problem to go ahead of time.
Li Jing nodded with satisfaction and said, "I think it''s a good story that Marquis Mo first entered Chang''an City and wrote three poems about the frontier fortress. It''s a famous Chang''an city. Joining the army this time."
The generals also burst into laughter and congratulated Merton.
The elder sun Shunde on one side could not help his jealous eyes turn red. He tried his best and didn''t squeeze into the list of the western expedition. However, the Mo family got it easily. How can he balance his heart.
"The list of the western expedition has been determined. All guards will prepare immediately and send troops immediately after three days." Li Shimin shouted.
"Yes, sir!" the generals said in awe.
By the end of the war, all the martial arts exercises had ended. The army starting from Chang''an city is six guards and one prison. Although the scale of the firearm supervisor is very small, after this great martial arts exercise, no one dares to underestimate the firearm supervisor. No one knows that the firearm supervisor with gunpowder will have unlimited potential in the future.
After Li Shimin left, the generals also left one after another. After all, there were only three days left. Although they had made preparations, they were still in a hurry.
"Lord sacrifice, you mean that our firearms warden will also participate in the western expedition!"
When Merton told Baiqi soldiers the news of participating in the western expedition, Xue Rengui and others dared not set the channel.
Merton turned his eyes and said, "that''s natural. Who else can use gunpowder bullets except you? Let the craftsman of the firearm supervisor go."
"Oh! Thank you for offering wine!" Xue Rengui said excitedly.
Although Baiqi selected all elite soldiers, they had a unique status and had few opportunities to go to the battlefield. How can they not be excited to see the western expedition this time.
Moreover, the power of gunpowder weapons, but through their own operation, this western expedition will certainly return full of meritorious deeds.
