Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 495 The Divine Might of the Military Base

In March, Tuyuhun invaded Lanzhou and was repelled by the defenders.

The Tang court did not make a big fuss about this matter, because there are still many important things to do in the country.

But how can Li Er be the kind of master who is bullied to the top and swallows his anger!

He's waiting, waiting for weapons at the military base!
In order to have enough cement for road construction, the imperial court publicly auctioned off the cement formula. This is also learned from Ding Yi!

As for the inventor of cement, he didn't say anything about it, and he also helped the court to solicit merchants to buy it!
The cement formula is lost among the people, and it will definitely be taken away by neighbors or enemy countries.

At the beginning, all the officials in the court objected, but after Li Er came for a drill, they all shut up, and no one dared to speak out before Datang showed his fangs!

On that day, in the camp of the Jinwu Guard, all officials of the fourth rank and above in Chang'an gathered together.

But the camp was guarded by the forbidden army, and no one was allowed to approach it!

The soldiers brought up one box after another, like the kind of porcelain box, which protected the contents very well!
Li Junxian gave an order, and the soldiers with bombs in their hands threw the ignited bombs ten feet away.

Then there was an earth-shattering sound!

Baiguan was stunned, what is this?
Some people even thought of an incident a year ago. Although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, this posture was extremely similar to the scene they heard!

Then Li Er explained to them the function of the bomb and how to use it!

After experimenting with bombing a ten-foot-thick wall made of cement, the officials fell silent!
Then, Cheng Yaojin and other generals went crazy!
Everyone begged Li Er to equip this kind of thing in the army they were in charge of, but...

Li Er did not agree, mainly because the bomb was too dangerous and untrained soldiers could not use it well.

The convinced civil servants were sent away, leaving behind a group of generals.

Li Er also expressed his thoughts!
Among the twelve guards, 1 people were selected to form the Heavenly Punishment Battalion.

The supreme commander of the penalty battalion this day is Li Er. As for the candidate for the deputy commander, Li Er has set up an assessment, and only those who pass the assessment can be qualified.

The Heaven's Punishment Camp, the name was given by Li Erqi, the name means that the emperor punishes rebels and enemies on behalf of him, he is God!

The generals were taken to the military base by Li Er the next day. Since the establishment of this place, only Ding Yi has been here.

No other officials have been able to come in yet, because this place is guarded by Baiqisi and Li Er's pro-army, the Xuanjia Army.

Military bases are no longer just researching bombs!

Zhuge Liannu, flintlock guns, red cannons, etc. are all their research areas.

Zhuge Liannu has already been able to mass-produce, but the output is a bit low, only [-] per day.

This time with the generals, Li Er is also preparing to equip the guards with the Zhuge Liannu.

Bows and arrows can be projected, but repeating crossbows can only be shot flat.Both sides have pros and cons!
So Li Er planned to equip each guard with [-] to [-] crossbowmen. This is a big killer on the battlefield!But it is only limited to field battles, and the crossbowmen in siege battles will be a little weak.

The generals were all overjoyed, this is simply a magic weapon for them!

Of course, apart from the soldiers assigned to the guards, this continuous crossbow will also be assigned to all the cavalry!

Only when the cavalry is equipped with this continuous crossbow can the power be maximized!
After watching Liannu, Li Er took the generals to watch the flintlock guns again!

Today, it was rare for him to be a tour guide, and it was completely voluntary, and there was even a hint of pride in his heart!
The range of flintlock guns can only reach forty feet now, and the effective killing range is within twenty feet.

If it exceeds twenty feet, the accuracy will be much worse!
Taking the generals to see these, Li Er is to see if the generals can come up with some good suggestions.

Although he believed in Ding Yi in his heart, he still wanted to rely on himself or his subordinates to learn some things from Ding Yi, and he felt a little uncomfortable!
Seeing the flintlock guns, the generals fell into madness again!
There is such a thing, the archer is still a problem?Datang trained archers not only to be physically strong, but also to spend a lot of resources, because most people couldn't pull the four-stone bow.And the four-stone bow is the standard equipment for archers!
With this kind of flintlock, this is much lower than the requirements of archers!
As long as you can pick up a gun and train for a period of time, it's a big killer!
And it can take shape quickly, unlike archers, which require years of training!

Seeing such a scene, the generals' faces were bloodshot, and they looked at each other with the attitude of looking at enemies!

This cannot be snatched away by others!
However, Li Er surprised them more than that!
The generals wanted to beg the emperor to distribute these equipments to their guards, but the emperor took them to the next place without haste!
With this experience, the generals are even more looking forward to what's next!

When they saw the one-and-a-half-foot-diameter steel pipe, they were stunned. What the hell is this?Let the soldiers carry it?

And this thing, if you stand upside down, it looks like something unique to men! ! !
But when Li Er ordered the Xuanjia Army to experiment, they almost sat on the ground in fright!

With a bang, a deep pit with a size of one foot was blown out a hundred feet away!

This……

If this thing is blown up in the army, it will be...

Seeing the performance of the generals, Li Er expressed his satisfaction. He held back for almost a year just to see people's unbelievable expressions!
Next, he wants to see the terrified expressions of those in the enemy country, and the time when Datang is invincible!
The cannon in red was given to Li Er by Ding Yi when he returned to Xincheng last year, in order to calm Li Er's mood and ease the relationship between the two!

Moreover, Ding Yi also took out the drawings of armored vehicles and tanks, which he drew himself, and explained the purpose, and showed that Datang was not yet capable of making these things.

After Li Er saw it, he also believed it!It was Ding Yi who transferred a group of people from the machinery factory and research institute to the military base to study the cannon.

If it's that kind of tank, Datang really doesn't have the ability to build it!
The red-clothed cannon now has a range of only about 1.0 feet, and this is only version 2.0.There is also a [-] that is being improved, but it will take time!
After watching the cannon in red, Li Er took the generals to watch the Air Force!
Yes, the Air Force!
Trained a team of Xuanjia troops, controlled hot air balloons equipped with bombs, incendiary bombs, and continuous crossbows, and conducted a wave of demonstrations!
This completely shocked the generals. What they saw today was completely beyond their knowledge!
This is the first time I've seen something like this in my decades of life!
If this thing existed more than ten years earlier, who would Datang be afraid of?

After returning to Chang'an, all the generals stayed behind closed doors, and did not tell anyone what they had seen!

They understood what Li Er meant by showing them these things, and no one would reveal it!

The next step is to see if we can win the deputy commander of the Heaven's Punishment Battalion!

And they are guessing, or sure!

These things must have been made by Ding Yi!

Ding Yi and Li Er built the military base, and all officials know this!

As for the things inside, besides Ding Yi, they couldn't think of anyone else!
The rise of the Tang Dynasty is in sight, no... invincibility in the world is in sight!
