It's really weird outside the city today. In the middle of winter, there were several blasts of thunder for no reason. Look at the sky. The sun is shining right and there isn't even a cloud. How could there be thunder?
"Hey, these days are really not peaceful! First there was a war, and then there was a monster! Fortunately, the monster is a good monster, but now there is thunder. What on earth is going on this winter?!"
Several families who were relatively close to the ravine were lying on the cracks of the windows, listening to the thunder coming from outside from time to time, while holding their wives and children in panic and making random guesses. It was not until the thunder stopped and stopped ringing for a long time that they plucked up the courage.
Invite your neighbors and go together to find the place where the sound came from.
The thunder just now was very loud, so they found the remote ravine without much confirmation.
"Can we get in or not?"
"Enter!"
"Ahem, who said to enter, go to the front?"
"..."
After a while of whispering and excusing each other, these farm men finally walked into the valley cautiously. Just looking at the confused looks on their faces, it was estimated that if they found anything wrong inside, they would turn around and run away!
Hum, I can't outrun anything else, I can outrun you guys!
Thinking like this, several people finally became a little bolder, and after groping forward for a while, they saw the place where Xiao Han had been.
That place was no longer the scene in their memories.
Broken trees, cracked rocks, uprooted shrubs and hanging bushes, all of them are like the fight between gods described by the storyteller!
"Could it be that our place used to be the legendary Wuzhishan Mountain, so we are rushing to cause trouble with fairies this year?"
Looking at everything in front of him, a young man shouted in sudden realization! But then, he was hit hard on the head, and then he heard someone scolding: "Don't be so fucking stupid! Wuzhi Mountain is to the west!"
The young man who was beaten covered his head and said unconvinced: "How do you know? Have you been there?"
The attacker rubbed his wrist, spit on the ground and said: "Bah! You don't want to hear that you are stupid! The lecturer said that when the Chinese monk left Chang'an in Journey to the West, he met the monkeys when he went west.
!If Wuzhi Mountain is not in the west, where can it be?"
"Hmph, maybe the Han monk got lost..."
"Hmm? What did you say?"
"No, nothing? I mean, let's go back quickly! It looks scary here!"
"Yes, it's better to go back quickly and find a Taoist priest to do rituals for our village in two days to drive away evil spirits!"
The few men who came to check on the situation did not dare to stay longer in the place where things were going wrong and left in a hurry.
As for what they saw today, it was no surprise that it would most likely become a popular fairy tale from all over the country, but they just didn't know who the unseen protagonist would be.

"Xiao Han, I just saw the distance this thing hit. It doesn't seem too far, right?"
On a bullock cart going to Yangzhou City, Chai Shao was sitting cross-legged on the wide cart frame and asked Xiao Han carefully beside him.
Xiao Han had an injury on his butt and couldn't sit cross-legged, so he was lying comfortably on a pile of soft brocade quilts at the moment. One injured foot was raised high, like a lightning rod. When Chai Shao asked him, he also
Too lazy to raise his head, he just said in a low voice: "This small one is not as far as a bow and arrow. The big ones in the Qinling Mountains are much farther than a bow and arrow, but they are too big. They can easily weigh a thousand kilograms and require two or three oxen to pull them!"
"You need two or three oxen to pull you around? Then the cavalry is not needed at all? As for this small one, although it is easy to carry, its range is not as far as a bow and arrow! Once you charge on the battlefield, there is no time to fire a second time!" Chai Shaoting
Upon seeing Xiao Han's introduction, I thought about it in my mind and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Sure enough, there is nothing perfect in this world! He has seen the power of this thing with his own eyes, and it is absolutely terrifying. If it were really put on the battlefield, he could imagine its effects with his toes!
But its shortcomings are equally obvious: it is expensive, the range is too close, and reloading is extremely cumbersome! With these shortcomings, even if it can be used on the battlefield, its effectiveness will undoubtedly be greatly reduced!
Xiao Han heard Chai Shao sigh, turned his head to look at him, and comforted: "Okay, don't think about it! I told you a long time ago that these are just semi-finished products! Used to secure the city, or
It may be okay to bully others, but no one can say how effective it will be when you really encounter a strong enemy!
Therefore, you don’t have to think about it for the time being. Just train your troops how you want! Why does Your Majesty want to form a new fire guard? Let us first explore and explore an effective method of using these firearms, and then wait until they are confirmed to be useful.
It will be transferred to you later, so don’t put your mind on it.”
Xiao Han meant these words sincerely, because he knew that soon! Datang would face its most dangerous and critical battle against the Turkic Army!
He didn't want to change the direction of history and cause any trouble in this crucial battle just because of his stupidity.
Xiao Han said it sincerely, but he forgot: people all have the habit of liking the new and hating the old!
Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao, who had seen enough of assassinations with swords and guns for a long time, were already itching to be exposed to firearms, a completely different weapon of war. They were asked to put it down at their word? How could it not be that easy!
"Hey! I'm talking about Xiao Han, you always talk about semi-finished products! Semi-finished products! What does the finished product look like? Can't you show it to us? Even if you don't use it, you can always let me see it!" Cheng Yao
Jin was sitting on the front shaft of the car driving the car. After listening to Xiao Han's words, he couldn't help but turn around and interrupt.
"What? Take out the finished product and show it to you?" Xiao Han was still secretly pleased with his wit in persuading the two of them, but when he heard Cheng Yaojin's words, he almost died of anger on the spot!
"You think I'm hiding something good from you? Do you know how much craftsmanship went into just this little thing? I didn't even see the finished product! I really don't think I'm talking to you about anything.
As easy as farting?"
"Tch, it's hard for me to fart when I talk..."
Cheng Yaojin was slapped in the face by Xiao Han and lectured him. He instantly lost the interest in talking anymore and could only curse in secret and turned around to drive angrily.
Hey, didn't I accidentally punch your toe? It didn't break! As for the nose is not a nose, and the face is not a face?
Chai Shao must have been used to Xiao Han and Cheng Yaojin's mutual love and killing for a long time. When he saw them fighting again, he didn't stop them. He lowered his head and thought for a while. After the two had had enough trouble, he smiled bitterly.
After a while, he said:
"Xiao Han, Lao Cheng didn't mean that you were hiding him! He meant that he wanted to help you! When you were at home, you made such a big turn, didn't you mean the same thing! We brothers are not outsiders.
, you just say, what is missing! If you are short of money, we will collect the money! If you are short of people, we will kidnap them for you! If you are short of something, we will ask your majesty for it! In short, you just need to say it, and we will take care of the rest! Yes.
With this thing, our soldiers will be less likely to die!"
