Su Chen smiled and replied, "Of course! It doesn't matter who tries it, we all stand together!"

Xue Rengui was well prepared, and he presented the Juque Tianbow, which originally belonged to the emperor, to Li Shimin with both hands.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Li Shimin recognized his treasured weapon for many years at a glance.

"Juque Tianbow!"

He handed the explosive pack to Li Ke and reached out to grab the Juque Tianbow, "Old friend, we meet again!"

Xue Rengui took out an arrow from his back with his backhand, and Li Tai took out an explosive, and Li Ke skillfully tied it to the middle of the arrow.

Li Shimin was about to draw the bow and string, when Su Chen suddenly stepped forward and suggested:

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the brothers of the Xuanjia Army try it first, what do you think?"

Not far in front of them, six positions were marked with wooden stakes. Su Chen guessed that they should be distance marks from thirty to eighty steps.

Thirty steps are about 45 meters, and eighty steps are 120 meters.

The soldiers of the Xuanjia Army now have explosives on their arrows, and the farthest they can shoot is about 75 steps.

Li Shimin thought about it and thought it would be a good opportunity to see how well the Xuanjia Army can control the distance of the arrows and the explosives when they fall to the ground and explode.

"Well, that's good!" Li Shimin immediately put away his bow-drawing posture, but fortunately the explosives were not ignited.

"Duancheng, try to explode at 60 steps!" Li Ke took out an explosive from Li Tai and came to a Xuanjia Army soldier and ordered.

"Yes!" Duancheng stepped out of the line and untied the fake explosives tied to the arrows and replaced them with real explosives.

"Just do it as you usually do during training, no need to think about anything else."

After Duancheng tied the explosives, Li Ke encouraged him so that Duancheng would not have a psychological burden when using real explosives for the first time.

They have all seen the explosion of real explosives, and they were all present to watch the test results when the fuse was improved.

Duancheng took the fire-breaking tube from his waist, unplugged the fire-breaking cover, blew a few breaths, and then bit it in his mouth. They usually trained themselves to light the fire-breaking tube like this, without the help of others.

After preparing everything, Duancheng looked at Li Ke, waiting for orders at any time. Li Ke looked sideways at Li Shimin, and Li Shimin looked at Su Chen.

"Your Majesty, please give orders!" Su Chen bowed.

Su Chen was very puzzled. The emperor asked for his opinions on everything. Maybe he would be killed by his subordinates one day to please the emperor.

That would be a great injustice!

Li Shimin nodded, thought for a while, and thought of a command, "Ready..."

Duancheng was ready to light the fuse!

"The target is sixty steps!"

Duancheng slightly adjusted the angle of the oblique shot.

"Release the arrow!"

Duancheng stared at the burning fuse, waited for more than ten breaths, and quickly pulled the bow to nearly full bow and shot the arrow out.

There was no whoosh sound, only the arrow was clearly seen flying outward in a spiral shape.

Within a few breaths, the arrow landed about two feet away from the sixty-step wooden stake.

Then...

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the rocket was successfully launched and exploded at the designated location.

This live-fire exercise was a complete success!

Less than a hundred meters away from Li Shimin and others, a burst of black and gray smoke arose.

"Good, good, good!"

"Pah~Pah~Pah!!!" Su Chen immediately clapped his hands to congratulate!

Duan Cheng was also relieved. It was the first time that he used a real bomb to launch a rocket under the intermittent orders of others.

There was a slight breeze outside today, and the smoke slowly dissipated.

Li Shimin had been rubbing his hands and was eager to try.

"I'll give it a try! Su Chen, help me light the fire!" Li Shimin took a stance and prepared to launch the rocket.

"Okay, Your Majesty, then... after I light it, you just need to use your strength to shoot it out. Your Majesty, you haven't been trained and you can't grasp the explosion time well." Su Chen kindly reminded.

"Well, I understand the reason." Li Shimin rarely argued with Su Chen. He also knew that this explosive was not a joke.

If it exploded near them, they would have nothing to do with the banquet tomorrow.

"Then I'll light it!" Su Chen took out a lighter and lit the fuse.

Li Shimin didn't dare to be careless. He instantly pulled the five-stone Juque Tiangong halfway and threw the rocket out.

Li Shimin could only pull the Juque Tiangong to the limit of the three-stone bow.

If it was the Zhentian Shenbow given to him by Su Chen, Li Shimin could at least exert the arm strength of the five-stone bow.

Because when using the Zhentian Shenbow, there will be arm strength blessing.

The rocket was launched and landed near the wooden stakes close to 80 steps away, which shows that Li Shimin's arm strength should not be underestimated.

Twenty breaths after the rocket landed... there was another loud bang, bringing up a cloud of dust and smoke.

"Your Majesty is mighty, and you never miss a shot..." Su Chen gave a thumbs up and praised.

"Your Majesty is mighty, and you never miss a shot!" More than a dozen Xuanjia soldiers cheered!

Li Shimin was dismissive of this. The rocket that had just been fired was completely useless.There was no target.

And it was 100% accurate?

"Hahaha...!"

However, Li Shimin was very happy. First, he had a good time, and second, he saw the training results of the Xuanjia Army.

The distance and explosion time of the arrow just shot by Duancheng were well controlled.

This is very important on the battlefield.

Like the arrow just shot by Li Shimin, the enemy has enough time to pick up the rocket. Shoot it back to the Tang army, or extinguish the fuse burning in time to prevent the explosion of the explosives.

After a while, Li Shimin walked towards the fifteen Xuanjia Army soldiers.

"I saw the results of your training today, very good!" Li Shimin paused and continued: "After some time, you will teach other Xuanjia soldiers, I... they will promote you to the captain of the artifact camp."

Li Shimin originally wanted to say that Li Ke and Xue Rengui promoted these 500 Xuanjia soldiers to centurions.

I'm just used to Su Chen using the word captain.

Five hundred Xuanjia soldiers are centurions of the Artifact Battalion, so wouldn't the Artifact Battalion have 50,000 people?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fifteen Xuanjia soldiers responded loudly.

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, looking at Li Ke and Xue Rengui, "How do we arrange the remaining four sticks of dynamite?"

"Do you want to try it?"

Su Chen and Li Tai shook their heads at the same time. They were both gentlemen, so how could they play this.

"Haha, Qingque, give the remaining dynamite to the Xuanjia soldiers to practice now."

Li Tai distributed four sticks of dynamite to four Xuanjia soldiers.

"The target is seventy steps!"

I don't know who gave the order.

Li Shimin and others watched from the side, and the four Xuanjia soldiers acted in the same way, firing rockets at the same time.

The four rockets exploded at the same time, and only a loud noise was heard, bringing up a large area of ​​soil and thick smoke.

Without exception, they all exploded as soon as they landed.

Not long after, Li Shimin, Su Chen, and Li Tai returned to the manor.

"Su Chen, can the power of the rocket be increased?" Li Shimin suddenly asked halfway along the way.

"Your Majesty, the power does not need to be increased." Su Chen smiled mysteriously and changed the subject, "But the lethality can be increased."

Li Shimin was confused. Could there be another explanation for the power and lethality?

"Your Majesty, I think so. If we increase the gunpowder equivalent, it will be dangerous for our soldiers, so we can only do something within the damage radius of the explosive explosion."

"For example... add iron fragments when filling the gunpowder."

"In this way... when the explosives explode, the sharp iron fragments inside will fly around."

"Tsk~tsk~tsk! That scene...!"

Li Shimin easily understood Su Chen's intention, "Okay, okay! My dear son-in-law, you must make more lethal explosives as soon as possible, and I will prepare the iron fragments for you!"

Su Chen waved his hand and looked down at Li Tai, "You... know how to do it?"

"Don't worry, I know how to do it!" Li Tai had no ability to resist and answered obediently.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, just wait and see, Li Tai will make it soon!"

Su Chen talked, Li Tai took action.

This is their usual style!

"Hahaha... OK! I'm at ease with you guys doing the job!" Li Shimin walked between the two, patted their shoulders and laughed!

"But your majesty, the purpose of war is not just to kill people. Sometimes, it's enough to completely defeat the other side and make them truly submit to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin agreed with what Su Chen said, "I..."

Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Su Chen suddenly changed his face.

Sharply spit out six words:

"Except for two countries!"
