It's just that I'm only using this thing for the first time, and the accuracy is not too accurate, and I can't reach the fingering bomb that the king told me! "

Not knowing what he said, Le Tai, who had shocked Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and others, was still saying it with a face of shame.

At the same time, he pointed to the mountain in the distance.

Sure enough, Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong and the others could see that on the hilltop in the distance, there were potholes that had been bombed.

"Come on, Letai, show me how to use the artillery!"

Li Shimin hurriedly urged.

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and the others also hurriedly looked at the stage.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The band stage hurriedly cupped its hands at Li Shimin, and then looked at the messy cannon that had been moved aside, a wry smile flashed in his eyes.

"Please take a few steps back, gentlemen. This cannon has just been developed, and it is not stable, and it is easy to explode!"

Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and the others hurriedly took a few steps back.

However, after seeing that Li Xuan had pulled Li Shimin back ten steps away, he was taken aback, and quickly backed away again.

And this time, Letai had brought several ink masters to move the cannon back to its original position, and at the same time began to adjust the base and check the various structures of the cannon.

……

Chapter 828

Wait until after the inspection.

A curer of ink carefully took a bomb and handed it to the band.

The bandstand checked again before carefully putting the bomb into the iron pipe of the artillery.

Afterwards, Le Tai stood behind the rear cannon, closed one eye, gave a thumbs up, and gestured for a long time at the distant hill.

Then he commanded a group of moxie rulers, and carefully turned the cannon a few times.

This begins to ignite the fuse below the cannon.

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

In the distance, Li Xuan, Li Shimin and others stared at the cannon expectantly.

"boom……"

After the fuse burned into the cannon, the heavy cannon trembled, and a puff of blue smoke came out of the muzzle, and a bomb that was too fast to be seen flew out of the muzzle.

It drew an arc and hit the hill that Le Tai and the others were aiming at.

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

When the dust cleared, Li Xuan, Li Shimin and the others, through their clairvoyance, saw a big pit one person deep appeared on the top of the mountain in the distance!

"hiss……"

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

"How powerful is this cannon?"

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

"Your Majesty is wise, that mountain is at least [-] steps away from where I am waiting?"

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

"If this artillery is used to attack cities and land, wouldn't there be no city in the world that can resist..."

With that said, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others hurried to the cannon and looked at it curiously.

On the side, Li Xuan was also full of shock.

This is also the first time for him to watch the firing at such a close distance!

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, Le Tai's expression changed, and he quickly shouted at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was startled and hurriedly took a step back.

But Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong confiscated them, and held the steel pipe of the cannon with both hands, ready to examine it carefully.

However, as soon as he hugged it, his face 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 red hands that had been burned, and asked puzzledly while blowing quickly.

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

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

"Back to Hejian County King, Su Guogong, after the bomb is fired, the barrel of this cannon will be extremely hot! But I don't know why it is like this!"

Le Tai quickly replied.

Hearing this, Li Shimin thought of something, and quickly asked again: "In this case, can you continue to launch bombs?"

"Return to Your Majesty, according to this temperature, three bombs can be fired in a row. If there are more, the barrel will not be able to withstand it!"

Le Tai said.

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

"His Majesty……"

Le Tai's face was shocked.

How powerful the bomb is, he knows better than anyone else.

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

"Your Majesty, this kind of artillery has just been developed, and I don't know how many bombs it can withstand. Your Majesty is a man of gold. I will never let Your Majesty take such a risk!"

Li Xuan quickly persuaded him.

On the side, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others hurriedly stood in front of Li Shimin, all with sincere faces.

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

"Your Majesty, leave this cannon to Lao Cheng to fire. Your Majesty can rest assured!"

"Your Majesty, it's better to leave this cannon to me, and you can command it from the side..."

"Pooh!"

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

"How can I not know what you are waiting for, old man? Besides, it's just such a bomb, and you are waiting for so many people, who will release it?"

Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and the others subconsciously smiled.

Such a powerful artillery, they are naturally very excited.

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

On the side, Li Xuan also had itchy hands.

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

Li Shimin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Xuan Ba, this kind of artillery is in your village, you can release it at any time. But I want to release it once first, but I came here from Chang'an all the way.

So, today's bomb, let me come first! "

Hearing this, Letai couldn't help but look worried.

He never thought that not only His Majesty is unreliable, but also his own king is also unreliable.

Such a dangerous cannon, even if they don't stop each other, they are all scrambling to release it.

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

"Your Majesty, you have set off bombs before, so you know the power of the bomb after it explodes. If there is any malfunction in this kind of artillery, or if it is not operated properly, the bomb will explode in the steel pipe. The crowd will never be spared, especially the one closest to the artillery...

You are my Great Tang Sage, no matter who I wait to release, I cannot let you take this risk! "

Li Shimin: "..."

However, after seeing Li Xuan's shining eyes, a thought flashed in his mind.

"Xuan Ba, don't you try to scare me, the cannon still has a fuse, before the fuse burns out, I can run twenty steps away!"

Li Xuan couldn't help showing a wry smile.

"Since His Majesty insists on firing the cannon himself, let His Majesty do it, but His Majesty must listen to the band's instructions in all operations!"

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

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

Then, he hurried to the front of the artillery.

As for Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others, under Li Shimin's gaze, they could only retreat in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, for this type of artillery, you must first open the base of the artillery to check whether there is any debris left in the steel pipe of the artillery... Then, reset the artillery, and let the muzzle aim at the target to be blown up... Then carefully release the bomb. Go into the base of the cannon...Your Majesty, you need to give another thumbs up to ensure that the cannon is aimed at the target..."

For teaching Li Shimin to fire the cannon, the music platform dared not miss any details.

It was only after Li Shimin finished all the operation steps that Letai breathed a sigh of relief.

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

"I am aware of this matter!"

Li Shimin nodded, took the torch handed over by the bandstand, and lit the long lead wire under the cannon.

Immediately, he ran away quickly.

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

The cannon trembled, and there was another roar.

The mountain in the distance was once again dusty, and the branches were flying in all directions.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and a large pit appeared halfway up the mountain.

"Your Majesty is brave!"

Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji, and the others each held a clairvoyance, stared blankly for a while, and then praised.

"It's really a magic soldier!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but beam with joy.

After a while, Cheng Zhijie thought of something, and quickly looked at the bandstand beside him again: "Jiang Mohou, are there any bombs?"

"Exactly, Carpenter Mohou, are there still such artillery and bombs in the forge in the village?"

Li Xiaogong and the others also stared at the bandstand expectantly.

"Going back to King Hejian, gentlemen, I only made this one cannon, and there are no extra cannons or bombs!"

Le Tai quickly replied.

Even if there is, he will say no!

When he himself experimented with firing cannons, he was very cautious and even a little apprehensive.

And His Majesty and the princes are really unreliable. Seeing the cannon is like seeing a woman, with eyes glued to the cannon, and they are reluctant to let go.

Most importantly, his own king seems to be even more unreliable!

"Why are you so petty?"

Hearing what the band said, Cheng Zhijie immediately looked unhappy.

"How can you manufacture such a powerful cannon? There are also these bombs. I remember that there should be many in Jinwang's courtyard. How can you say that there are no bombs?"

"Exactly, if there is no artillery, there must be bombs, right?"

"Carpenter Mohou, you didn't want me to wait for the test to fire the cannon, so you said that on purpose?"

Li Xiaogong, Changsun Wuji and the others also narrowed their eyes slightly, staring at the stage closely, as if they wanted to see into the depths of the stage.

However, fortunately, only such a cannon and three bombs were really produced this time!
