Shooting off

Wait until the inspection is completed.

An ink master carefully took a bomb and handed it to the orchestra.

The band stage checked again before carefully placing the bomb into the iron tube of the artillery.

Then, Bandai stood behind the rear gun, closed one eye, gave a thumbs up, and gestured towards the mountains in the distance for a long time.

Then he directed a group of ink masters to carefully turn the cannon a few times.

Only then did the fuse under the cannon begin to light.

As the green smoke rose, all the ink practitioners ran away.

In the distance, Li Xuan, Li Shimin and others were staring at the artillery expectantly.

"boom……"

After the fuse burned into the cannon, the heavy cannon shuddered, a burst of green smoke came out of the muzzle, and a bomb that was so fast that it could not be seen flew out from the muzzle.

It drew an arc and hit the top of the mountain where Le Tai and others were aiming.

There was a burst of dust, and several big trees flew down and were blown to pieces.

When the dust cleared, Li Xuan, Li Shimin and others, through clairvoyance, saw a large pit deep for one person on the mountain in the distance!

"hiss……"

Seeing this, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others couldn't help but widen their eyes with shock on their faces.

"How powerful is this artillery?"

"Zhijie, that mountain top should be more than a thousand steps away from here, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise, that mountain top is at least 1,200 steps away from where I am waiting?"

"How can such a thick steel pipe throw a bomb so far?"

"If we use this artillery to attack a city and seize territory, no city in the world can withstand it..."

With that said, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others quickly ran to the artillery and looked at it with curiosity on their faces.

On the side, Li Xuan was also shocked.

This was also his first time to watch a cannon fire at such a close distance!

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Suddenly, Bandai's expression changed and he shouted to Li Shimin quickly.

Li Shimin was startled and hurriedly took a step back.

Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong, on the other hand, did not hold it back and directly held the steel pipe of the artillery with both hands, ready to examine it carefully.

However, as soon as he hugged her, his expression changed drastically, he quickly let go of his hand and shook it vigorously.

"Why is it so hot?"

Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong looked at their hands that had been burned red, and asked in confusion while blowing air quickly.

On the side, Li Shimin's face was full of luck.

If the bandstand hadn't called him to stop him, he would have put his hand directly on it.

"Back to the Prince of Hejian County, Mr. Su Guogong, after this artillery fires the bomb, the barrel will be extremely hot! But why it is like this, I don't know!"

Le Tai quickly replied.

Hearing this, Li Shimin thought of something and quickly asked again: "Under such circumstances, can we still continue to launch bombs?"

"Your Majesty, at this temperature, three bombs can be fired continuously. If there are more, the barrel will not be able to withstand it!"

Letai said.

Li Shimin nodded slightly and said excitedly: "In this case, put this bomb in again and I will launch it myself!"

"His Majesty……"

Le Tai looked shocked.

He knows better than anyone how powerful the bomb is.

Therefore, he absolutely did not dare to let Li Shimin fire the cannon.

"Your Majesty, this kind of artillery has just been developed, and we still don't know how many bombs it can withstand. Your Majesty is a man of wealth, and we absolutely dare not let you take such a risk!"

Li Xuan quickly tried to persuade him.

On the side, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others quickly stood in front of Li Shimin, their faces full of sincerity.

"Your Majesty, what the King of Jin said is absolutely true. This kind of artillery is extremely dangerous. As a saint of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty, you must not take any risks!"

"Your Majesty, please leave this artillery to Lao Cheng. Your Majesty can rest assured!"

"Your Majesty, you'd better leave this artillery to me and wait for it to be fired. You can just command it from the side..."

"Pooh!"

Looking at the group of old guys in front of him, Li Shimin looked disgusted.

"How can I not know what you are paying attention to, old man? Moreover, there is just such a bomb, and there are so many people here, who is going to release it?"

Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others all subconsciously smiled with ridicule on their faces.

Naturally, they were very excited about such a powerful artillery piece.

"Your Majesty, this kind of artillery is too dangerous, so let me test it first!"

On the side, Li Xuan also had itchy hands.

"Xuan Ba ​​also wants to fight with me?"

Li Shimin felt nervous and said hurriedly: "Xuanba, this kind of artillery is in your village, you can fire it at any time. I want to fire it once first, but I have to travel a long way from Chang'an to get here.

Therefore, let me come first for this bomb today!"

Hearing this, Le Tai couldn't help but feel worried.

He never thought that not only was his majesty unreliable, but his own king was also unreliable.

Such dangerous artillery, they didn't stop each other or told each other, but they actually fought to release it.

Li Xuan thought for a while, then looked at Li Shimin solemnly.

"Your Majesty, you have fired bombs before, so you also know the power of the bomb after it explodes. If there is any malfunction of this kind of artillery, or it is not operated properly, the bomb will explode in the steel pipe. At that time, the surrounding area of ​​the artillery

A group of people will never be spared, especially the person closest to the artillery...

You are the Saint of the Tang Dynasty, no matter who we are waiting for to release you, we cannot let you take this risk!"

Li Shimin: "..."

However, after seeing Li Xuan's shining eyes, an idea flashed in his mind.

"Xuanba, don't try to scare me. The artillery still has a fuse. Before the fuse burns out, I can run twenty steps away!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

"Since Your Majesty insists on firing the cannon in person, let Him do it. However, Your Majesty must listen to the instructions of the orchestra in all operations!"

"Xuan Ba, don't worry, I will never be careless with such a powerful artillery!" Li Shimin said.

Hearing this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Le Tai's eyes.

Then, he quickly walked to the cannon.

Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others, under Li Shimin's gaze, could only retreat.

"Your Majesty, for this kind of artillery, you must first open the base of the artillery and check whether there are any debris left in the steel pipe of the artillery... Then, reset the artillery and aim its muzzle at the target to be blown up... and then carefully release the bomb.

Enter the artillery base...Your Majesty, you need to give a thumbs up again to ensure that the artillery is aiming at the target..."

When it came to teaching Li Shimin how to fire cannons, the band stage did not dare to miss any detail.

It was not until Li Shimin completed all the steps that Bandai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, you can light the fuse! Your Majesty must remember that after lighting the fuse, you need to quickly run ten steps away from the artillery!"

"I know this matter!"

Li Shimin nodded, took the fire stick passed by the band, and lit the long fuse under the artillery.

Immediately, he quickly ran away.

When Li Shimin ran to Li Xuan and others, stood firm, and turned back to look at the artillery.

The cannon trembled and roared again.

The mountain in the distance was once again dusty and branches were flying everywhere.

When the smoke and dust dispersed, a large crater appeared halfway up the mountain.

"Your Majesty is brave!"
