As soon as this statement came out, a group of young and old men laughed and laughed, which made Cheng Chubi feel very evil. He was so fiercely competing with Bamboo...
Do you know that Your Majesty is still worried about me messing with him? You, an elder, are obviously maliciously slandering me.
Of course Cheng Chubi was embarrassed to argue with his elders in public, but he couldn't help but muttered.
"Uncle, my nephew doesn't like hearing this. This is a weapon used to kill enemies. Why do you want it to be so beautiful?"
"My son's words make sense..."
Cheng Yaojin happily picked up the No. 20 mine and started playing with it in his hand.
"Everyone, take a look. Don't you think this thing looks very tough and honest?"
As soon as this statement came out, all the rough old men laughed crookedly.
Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, directly raised his hand to cover his forehead.
"???" Cheng Chubi was completely stunned, looking at his proud father, even though Cheng Chubi was the creator of Landmine No. 20.
I really can’t see how this thing is so timid and yet so festive.
This damn thing is a landmine. Even its prototype, the pineapple, doesn't feel festive except for pricking your hands.
After a bunch of civil servants farted, they wiped their mouths and smiled reservedly with a sense of superiority.
It seems that it is reasonable and unexpected for General Cheng to say such a thing.
"Okay, okay, all the gentlemen, please stop making noise, Chu Bi is a good nephew, how can I try this thing?"
"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew will show you how to use this grenade and its destructive power first."
"Afterwards, I will show you how to use this mine and its power..."
Cheng Chubi explained here that General Liu Lang over there had ordered the soldiers to plant a dozen wooden stake dummies about fifty meters away from the bombing point.
These wooden stake dummies are stuffed with straw inside and wrapped in human figures with linen outside.
Among them, almost half of the wooden stake dummies are wrapped in leather armor, and there are two or three wooden stake dummies wrapped in iron armor.
There were even a few people holding shields in their hands. At this moment, there seemed to be a neatly arranged group of soldiers standing proudly.
Seeing this scene, everyone had to turn their attention to the grenades with bamboo handles and cast iron heads placed there.
It's really hard to believe that such an inconspicuous thing can really make those wooden stake dummies jump over their heads.
"Third brother, is that okay?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he saw this formation.
After all, although the wild boar we encountered was a ferocious beast, no matter how powerful it was, it was just a thick-skinned beast.
It is definitely not comparable to the Tang Dynasty's standard armor, not to mention the wooden shield fixed in front of the dummy.
Cheng Chubi slapped his mouth and lowered his voice towards his father.
"Dad, don't worry. The kid knows what's going on, so just keep an eye on it."
Cheng Chubi turned around and saluted Li Shimin, who was pointing at the dummy army.
"Uncle, my nephew is preparing to drop a test bomb right now. Uncle, please step back..."
"It's so far away, no need, right?" Li Shimin looked at the dummies, which were dozens of steps away.
He remembered that when Cheng Chubi threw the big square bamboo firecracker, he and others stopped about thirty steps away.
"Uncle, safety first, this thing is different from those firecrackers, really different."
Under Cheng Chubi's persuasion, Li Shimin could only reluctantly lead the way in person and retreated behind the observation bunker not far away.
Seeing the group of people standing there stunned, Cheng Chubi was helpless.
No matter what, fortunately I am a loyal guard of the Tang Empire and will not hold up the banner of Dao for Heaven and throw grenades in that direction.
After they all retreated to that side, Cheng Chubi thought about it, and for the sake of safety, these important officials of the Tang Dynasty who controlled the situation of the Tang Dynasty could pay attention to gunpowder weapons.
Deciding to engage in continuous bombing, two No. 3 grenades were placed at Cheng Chubi's feet.
Li Shimin and others stood behind the wall and observed the bunker, neatly combing their long beards and watching Cheng Chubi twisting around there.
Fortunately, at this time, Li Chengguang, the commander of the Gunpowder Administration who distributed ear plugs to all the important ministers, explained in time before everyone could get confused.
"Cheng Taichang is warming up before dropping the bomb. After all, it needs to be accurately thrown twenty-five steps away. This requires skill."
"Well... I hope this guy is a little bit on the right track."
Li Shimin nodded and stuffed two balls of cotton into his ears. After all, he had seen the sound of this thing.
Seeing that His Majesty was like this, others followed suit and blocked their ears with cotton balls.
In his eyes, he saw Cheng Chubi picking up a grenade, squatting in front of the incense stick and starting to light it.
After Cheng Chubi lit it, he stretched his arms diagonally and then drew a beautiful arc.
The grenade came out of my hand and flew forward...
Cheng Chubi had already picked up the second one at this moment, lit it, and threw it again...
While the second grenade was still flying in the sky, Li Shimin and others saw a dazzling fire suddenly appear in front of the dummies standing firmly in the open space.
The light and fire disappeared in a flash, and then a huge and ear-piercing roar was heard in the ears.
After the fire, there was a thick smoke that completely enveloped the place, before everyone could do anything.
A flash of fire flashed through the area shrouded in thick smoke, and another huge roar came...
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes subconsciously. Even if it was blocked by cotton, the huge roar still made his heart beat a beat.
The gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, and Cheng Chubi saw that the dozen or so dummies who had originally been standing neatly had now fallen down in front of them.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and waved my fist vigorously. Not bad, not bad. He was indeed a little expert in throwing grenades.
At least the accuracy was pretty good. The first one was thrown a little crookedly, but the second one landed right in front of the dummy.
Li Shimin and others saw Cheng Chubi starting to walk that way.
He turned around and saw the dumbfounded expressions of the civil and military ministers who had witnessed the power of this thing for the first time, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go and have a look with me and see how it works."
The group of people moved forward in a noisy manner, and Cheng Chubi had already arrived at the site of the explosion ahead of the others.
In front of these dummies, two pieces of white land were exploded. The turf on the surface has been lifted up, and the ground has also been sunken.
It looked extremely miserable, and in front, a wooden shield about one step away from the grenade explosion point had been split into two halves.
There was also a pair of iron helmets that had flown to nowhere, and the armor plates on their bodies were rolled up.
Broken armor pieces cut by grenade fragments can be seen swaying in the breeze.
