Looking at the warehouse after warehouse, Xenobud's mood became heavier and heavier.

He fought with the Tang army in Hedong and intuitively felt the combat effectiveness of the Tang army. Now, he further understood that the power of the Tang army was not without reason.

Tang Jun achieved the ultimate in logistics.

The only thing soldiers have to do is train and fight.

This is simply impossible in Tubo. Even the personal guards of the major nobles and leaders could not be like the Tang army. There are as many as twelve troops like the Tang army. This does not include their special troops such as the Modao Guards, Rangers, etc.

Now there are more than 400,000 such troops under Li Ze's command. Even if the Tubo people counted those slaves, they were only 20 to 3 million.

Now, if Li Ze is desperate to mobilize his army, he can even arm millions of people immediately, and they are all well-trained soldiers.

For warehouses like the ones he saw today, you can immediately equip a unit that is the same as Tu Lichun's command.

This is the national strength and this is the foundation. When Tubo was at its most powerful, it made the Tang Dynasty in the past very troubled, and never reached such a height.

So what can I do now?

The Western Regions were lost, and now most of Qinghai has been lost. Within Tubo, there are endless chaos and civil wars. Now even food needs to be purchased from the Tang Dynasty. Once the two countries have had a feud, what will Tubo fight with the Tang Dynasty?

"Let's go, I'll take you to see our new weapons!" Looking at the somewhat confused and obviously absent-minded Thnobud, Li Ze said with a smile.

The new weapon was not in the camp. With the company of Tu Lichun and others, the group rode their horses and opened the camp, and they actually rushed to Mount Li.

One hour later, they had appeared on a small hill in Mount Li. At present, the top of the hill had been completely flattened, with some large objects wrapped in linoleum.

"The terrain here is good!" Li Ze looked around and said with satisfaction.

"This hill is used as a fort, and the target is the opposite hillside. We have set up some targets wherever we set up." Tu Lichun said: "This place is surrounded by mountains and is far away from inhabited places. Although the sound is very loud, it does not scare others."

"What is this?" Xenobud asked in confusion.

"This is our new weapon!" Li Ze smiled and said, "Because you are coming today, General Tu set up some new things opposite him. Is that a section of city wall?"

Tu Lichun nodded and said, "I couldn't find anything good if I was anxious, so I asked the soldiers to build a piece of city wall with rammed earth, piled up some stones outside, and there were also many dummies around, but the dummies were covered with real armor stomachs."

"Okay, let us noble Tubo guests see the power of our new weapons!" Li Ze said.

Tu Lichun waved his hand, and the soldiers who had been waiting on the side immediately trotted forward, pulling away pieces of linoleum, revealing the dark cannon body inside.

"Architecture!" Tu Lichun patted the cold cannon body and said to Senobude: "The latest application of Datang gunpowder technology. At present, it was just a practical drill at Jindou Pass in Tongguan, and the effect was pretty good."

Thinobud didn't understand how to use this thing, so he could only remain silent. At the same time, he also looked at the opposite hillside. He was afraid that it was a few miles away from here, and he could not see clearly what was on the opposite hillside at all.

The understanding Tu Lichun immediately handed a monocular telescope.

He raised his telescope and looked at it again, and Thanobud's eyes immediately became clear.

The half-man-high city walls were indeed rammed out of earth, but outside, there were a lot of stones to protect them. After these city walls, you could see a lot of figures in armor, which were the dummies mentioned by Tu Lichun. In other places, there were also many dummies in armor scattered.

How far can this thing be?

Xenobud expressed doubts.

"Li Xiang, please take a hundred steps back!" Tu Lichun said with a smile: "The terrain behind is slightly higher, so I can see it more clearly later."

Knowing that this is Tu Lichun's work for his own safety, Zhu Yi cannot guarantee absolute safety until now. Although the blow-up rarely happens, it is obvious that Tu Lichun does not dare to take this risk with himself.

The group took more than a hundred steps back.

At the artillery position ahead, an officer raised the small red flag in his hand and issued an order loudly.

Packs of fire were stuffed into the cannon chamber, and then they were pounded firmly with a wooden pestle, and dark projectiles were then stuffed into the cannon chamber.

Except for the standing officers and soldiers holding torches, the rest of the soldiers were half-squatting underground and holding their heads with their hands.

Li Ze, Tu Lichun and others also understood and reached out to cover their ears.

The small fire flag in the officer's hand fell heavily, and the order to open the fire was immediately issued. The soldier holding the torch immediately ignited the exposed leads.

Then, the two guys also squatted down.

The rumbling sound suddenly sounded like a bolt from the blue, and smoke rose from the position and was immediately blown away by the mountain wind.

The unexpected Thanobud's ears buzzed, his legs became weak, and he almost sat down to the ground.

The sound of cannons continued, and about twenty such cannons were arranged on the hillside. At this time, in order to show their firepower, the twenty cannons fired one after another.

Thanobud's face was a little pale.

He didn't know what the situation was on the other side, but just looking at the power when it was launched, he knew that this was definitely not a good thing. They had also purchased a batch of turbulent oil bombs from the Tang Dynasty, but the function of that thing was more of arson. The explosion was not comparable to that in front of him.

As the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, Tu Lichun looked at Senobud with a smug smile: "Look at the opposite side and see our new weapon, what is the power?"

Thinobud couldn't hear what the other party was saying, but from the other party's fingers and strokes, he also understood what the other party meant. After swallowing, he raised the single copper telescope in his hand.

Immediately, his face turned pale.

On the opposite hillside, the original layout had long been beyond recognition. The city wall made of rammed earth was blown up and the stones piled up outside the wall had already flew to somewhere. The dummies wearing armor hidden behind the city wall were even more terrible, with broken arms and broken limbs everywhere. On the hillside, pits as big as water basin were everywhere.

Xenobud finally couldn't stand anymore, his legs became weak and he sat down on the ground.

Li Peng waved his hand, and the two guards stepped forward and helped him up.

"What is this? What is this?" he murmured.

"Li Xiang named it the cannon." Li Peng said.

"Can you sell it to us?" Sinobud blurted out, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the sarcastic look in Li Peng's eyes and immediately closed his mouth tightly.

How could the other party sell such powerful weapons to his side?

After a while, the cavalry rushed up the mountain, but sent a few of the broken dummies on the opposite side.

Li Zetu Lichun carefully examined the broken iron pieces embedded in the armor. Li Ze said with satisfaction: "It seems that it is much better than when attacking Jindu Pass."

"Yes, with these artillery artillery, the technician once said that the most important thing now is the further purification of gunpowder and the sealing letter of the artillery. More importantly, the better the sealing nature of the artillery, the more the power of the gunpowder can be exerted. But so far, we can only achieve this level. Give them time and they can develop better things." Tu Lichun said.

"Don't be anxious!" Li Ze was not anxious at all: "Now, it's enough. Take your time and we will build better artillery."

Turning his head to look at Xenobud, "How is Xenobud, how does Xenobud feel?"

Xenobud's face was ashes, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

"This is just a long-range attack weapon, and some melee weapons have been derived based on this weapon." Li Ze said: "I won't show it to you one by one."

"Is Li Xiang ready to use this weapon to attack Tubo?" Sinobud said with some difficulty.

Li Ze smiled faintly: "If this is necessary."

"Tubo is willing to be a country of eternal brotherhood with the Tang Dynasty." Snowbud got rid of the two soldiers who supported him and said loudly.

Seeing Li Ze looking at him unmoved, Senobud gritted his teeth: "Tubo is willing to worship the Tang Dynasty as his parents' country, and is willing to come tribute every year and come to pay tribute every year. The lord of Tubo is willing to send the next generation of heirs to the Tang Dynasty as a charity, and not return until he inherits the throne."

Li Ze shook his head and said, "Shenobud, I have told you a long time ago that Tubo, I am sure to win. Tubo people must become a member of my Greater Chinese nation. There is no need to discuss this."

Sinobud showed grief and anger on his face: "Li Xiang, Goryeo can do it, why can't Tubo?"

"Tubo is different from Goryeo." Li Ze said: "Even when Goryeo was at its most powerful time, it would not be a fatal threat to the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo was different. I will not tolerate a knife pressing under my waist. This is something I have to discuss. Today I will show you these things, just to tell you that Tubo will either surrender or turn into powder under my cannon. Which place is to turn this place into a white land and then rebuild it again. You should have seen the power of our Tang people turning decay into magic."

"Is Li Xiang going to rely on his national strength to be arrogant and domineering and unreasonable?" Snowbud hissed.

Li Ze smiled coldly: "When the Tang Dynasty declined, when you Tubo annexed my Tang territory and plundered my Tang son as a slave, did you ever make a reason? A lonely city with white hair is full of white-haired soldiers in Li Ze's lifetime, and even if I am a hundred years later, I will not let this happen again."
