The generals were so excited that they wanted to jump up on the spot. How could they question His Majesty Li Er?
For war madmen like them, they don't care whether Goguryeo is easy to fight or not!
It's a mule or a horse, let's pull it out and let's talk!
Even if Goguryeo cannot be defeated, it must be crippled!
Which of them has not coveted Goguryeo for a long time?
If it hadn't been for the lack of news about His Majesty Li Er before, I'm afraid they would have already led their superior generals to charge into the battle.
Seeing the enthusiastic generals, His Majesty Li Er was very satisfied.
The reason why he did not announce this at the morning meeting just now was because he was afraid of being opposed by the civil servants.
Although he was confident of convincing those die-hards, he didn't know how to explain to them the new weapons Su Chen mentioned.
It is better not to say anything, and directly decide on the expedition to Goguryeo. Anyway, he has full confidence in defeating Goguryeo.
After Goguryeo is included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, we can start talking to them slowly.
Five days later, Wannian County.
Li Erxia sent Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, and Du Ruhui to arrive as promised.
Although it was only five days, it seemed like a century to Li Erxia.
Even if he has been dreaming these past few days, His Majesty Li Er has been thinking about the new weapons Su Chen mentioned.
As he expected, after he said he wanted to personally conquer Goguryeo, he encountered strong opposition from the officials.
But His Majesty Li Er's attitude this time was very firm. No matter how they tried to persuade them, His Majesty Li Er remained unmoved.
In desperation, everyone could only agree to His Majesty Li Er's eastward expedition to Goguryeo, and began to study countermeasures to attack Goguryeo.
However, even though they racked their brains, they just couldn't think of any good way.
Because in the battle with Goguryeo, military strategies and tactics were not used at all. This was different from ordinary wars.
In the past, wars were fought between two armies, competing to see whose strength and strategy were better.
But Goguryeo was just like a turtle that couldn't defeat them, so it defended the frontier and fought a protracted war with them.
This back and forth was obviously not conducive to the performance of Datang's army.
For this reason, many ministers were worried about losing a lot of hair, and they all headed towards the Mediterranean Sea.
Not only are the ministers under great pressure, but His Majesty Li Er, who is the person in charge of launching this war, is also under great pressure.
If he couldn't think of any good strategies and accidentally lost the battle, how would he behave in front of the ministers in the future?
Now, His Majesty Li Er has placed all his hopes on Su Chen.
I just hope that this bastard Su Chen can still come up with good strategies as before.
At noon, His Majesty Li Er arrived at Su Chen's yard on time.
"Hey, Lao Li, I didn't expect you to be punctual."
Su Chen greeted with a smile.
"Have you finished making your new weapon?"
His Majesty Li Er said straight to the point: "In order to see your earth-shattering new weapon, I didn't agree for five days!"
Su Chen smiled and said: "Old Li, can I still fool you? The weapons have been forged long ago!"
"But it's dinner time now, so let's eat the food first."
"Lao Du hasn't been here for a long time. I must have two more drinks this time."
"Don't!"
His Majesty Li Er refused and said firmly: "Let us see the weapons first, otherwise I will definitely not be able to eat this meal!"
"Yes, it won't take long. Let's see the power of your firearm first!"
Wei Zheng also helped and said, "When we finish reading, let's have a few drinks!"
Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "That's okay, but we must go back quickly."
"Old Xu, go call Old Zhao and the others and push my cannon to the back of the mountain!"
After giving the instructions, Su Chen led the four of them towards the back mountain.
After walking for nearly half an hour, Su Chen finally led His Majesty Li Er to a valley overgrown with weeds.
"Why do you want to move weapons to such a remote place?" Changsun Wuji asked breathlessly.
"I'm not afraid of scaring people."
Su Chen smiled and said, "Just wait a moment, Lao Zhao and the others will be here soon."
"I placed the cannon inside the mountain. It's still a long way to get here."
Not long after, Lao Zhao and others came over pushing a very strange-looking thing.
"Is this the cannon you're talking about?"
His Majesty Li Er came over immediately and looked at it carefully from beginning to end.
"Isn't this just an iron lump?"
Hearing this, Su Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
The appearance of the Hongyi Cannon is indeed not very good. The iron pipes shown are all pitted. It would be an understatement to say that it is extremely ugly.
After all, this is my first time making this thing, so it’s not unforgivable that it doesn’t sell well.
"Is this thing really as powerful as you say?" His Majesty Li Er asked doubtfully.
Changsun Wuji and three others also gathered around, feeling that this thing was really ugly...
Can this thing really kill people?
Could it be that he lifted it up and smashed it to death?
After watching it for a long time, His Majesty Li Er and the others did not understand how to use this cannon.
"You should have tested the power of this cannon, right?" His Majesty Li Er asked casually.
Seeing that Su Chen didn't answer, His Majesty Li Er subconsciously raised his head and glanced at him, and actually saw a slight hint of embarrassment on his face.
Now, His Majesty Li Er cannot stand firmly.
Could this bastard just show it to us without experimenting with it?!
"It's true that it hasn't been tested yet."
Su Chen smiled and said, "Aren't I waiting for you?"
"How can I say this cannon makes its first appearance? Can't we find someone to witness it together?"
"Don't worry, although this thing looks a bit ugly, it is absolutely safe and will be fine. You have to believe me."
I don't know why, but the more His Majesty Li Er and the others heard Su Chen's vow, the more panicked they became.
Does this bastard want to use us as a cannon?
Before His Majesty Li Er and the others could continue to ask questions, Su Chen had already personally stepped forward to direct Old Zhao and the others.
His Majesty Li Er and the others were standing at a distance, feeling extremely anxious, fearing that the cannon would shoot them down if it didn't have the eyesight.
Rumble!
Suddenly, just when His Majesty Li Er and the others were highly concentrated, a loud noise like thunder shook their heads.
At this moment, the ground around the valley seemed to be trembling, and the birds and animals in the mountains and forests were running around one after another.
"this……"
Looking at the astonishing scene in front of them, the four people's eyes widened in unison!
I saw a mountain wall that was still intact suddenly exploded, and rocks and dust instantly filled the valley.
