Cold weapons and hot weapons, which one is stronger and which one is weaker, hardly need to be elaborated in words.
After all, a weapon that can hit a target at most a hundred steps away is compared to a weapon that can kill an enemy at a distance of five hundred steps.
No matter how the comparison is made, the latter is more advantageous.
And if you add in the artillery that can shoot two thousand steps away, and the sky fire thunder that can blow up the enemy soldiers when thrown, it is a sophisticated and unpredictable battle formation strategy.
It can even become a lingering nightmare for the enemy.
Under the firing of hundreds of artillery pieces, tens of thousands of enemy troops are often wiped out in an instant.
And every time they think of those scenes, even Li Chongyi and Xue Li, who are used to seeing big scenes, can't help but feel frightened.
"The Tang Dynasty dispatched a total of more than 53,000 troops."
"Since the beginning of the war, except for a few unlucky ones who suffered injuries due to errors in handling weapons, there have been no deaths."
Li Chongyi lamented: "Even if we look at thousands of years of history, we can't find any such war."
"Now it seems that what His Highness said is indeed correct."
"Baekje's military strength is no longer on the same level as that of the Tang Dynasty."
Xue Li sighed softly and said: "This will be really hard for Baekje..."
"What's the matter, do you still feel sorry for them?"
Li Chongyi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Li, his face full of confusion.
"How could I feel sorry for them?"
"I'm just feeling emotional?"
Xue Li chuckled and said: "And compared to them, shouldn't I feel more sorry for those sergeants whose fingers were pinched off by the muzzle yesterday?"
"That's true."
Li Chongyi curled his lips and then said: "But when you talk about it, it seems that we are not far from Sixian now, right?"
"According to yesterday's scouting report, it should be about forty miles away."
Xue Li asked in confusion: "What? What else is there to say?"
"That's a big statement."
"His Highness said that when we arrive at the opponent's capital, we should take out the weapons placed under the cabin and hand them over to these people from the Wuyan Institute. Students.”
Li Chongyi curled his lips and said, "Look at those weapons, they may not be as useful as the ones we have now."
He really didn't understand.
Obviously the current weapons can give them an advantage.
Why bother changing weapons for the sergeants?
If those weapons don't work well, wouldn't all the advantages previously held be lost?
And looking at Li Chongyi's appearance, Xue Li could also see what this guy was thinking.
But, he didn't speak.
Cheng Hualiang on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
He said directly: "I wonder if you have forgotten His Highness's instructions?"
"Helping Silla is one of them."
"Testing the training results of the Wuhan Academy is the second one."
"And the third is to let you test these new weapons."
"I've seen those weapons, and none of them are bad."
Li Chongyi felt a little unhappy after hearing what this guy said.
"You can do it."
"If it's really that good, why not deploy it directly into the army? Why do we have to do some experiments?"
Li Chongyi also said with disdain: "In the final analysis, this guy is just trying to make things difficult for me..."
The reason why he said this was not that he was dissatisfied with Li Chengqian, but with Cheng Hualiang.
Perhaps it’s because I have been with Li Chengqian for the longest time.
Cheng Huailiang always reveals something that is unique to Li Chengqian, either intentionally or unintentionally.
This also made Li Chongyi very unhappy.
Of course, there is also some element of jealousy hidden in this unhappiness.
After all, as a minister, who doesn't want to spend more time with his master?
But this guy was arrested for drinking with a few little ones.
Li Shimin was thrown into the mud pit with Cheng Yaojin.
This made him and Li Chengqian's growth almost completely missed.
Even though he didn't say anything about it, he always remembered it.
But Cheng Huailiang didn't know what this guy was thinking in his heart.
At the moment, he just felt that this guy was dissatisfied with Li Chengqian's decision.
You know, after following Li Chengqian for many years, he has already become Li Chengqian's most loyal fan.
At this moment, could he bear it when he heard someone insulting his idol?
"What does it mean to have long hair but short knowledge?"
"I'm talking about you, Li Chongyi."
"But I'm not mocking you either. After all, I was just like you when I never went to the ordnance camp before."
"But after I followed His Highness that time, I realized how high the sky is and how big the earth is."
As he spoke, Cheng Huailiang also pointed to the Navy Zhenguan cannons placed beside the fence that Li Chongyi was proud of.
This was specially built by the ordnance battalion for the Navy, and it is also the most powerful and longest-range artillery currently displayed by the Tang Dynasty.
"I know that this Navy Zhenguan Cannon has always been your pride, Li Chongyi."
"But what I want to tell you is that if we compare these with the newer artillery in the ordnance battalion that has not yet been equipped with the army."
Cheng Huailiang raised his head and said: "This artillery is a joke."
And looking at his appearance and hearing his words, Li Chongyi was a little annoyed.
"Cheng Hualiang."
"I'm telling you, don't just rely on the long time you've spent with that kid to show off your qualifications to me."
Li Chongyi pointed at Cheng Huailiang's nose and said: "In this army, I am the commander."
"Yes, yes, you are the coach, but that doesn't affect me from telling the truth."
"Your cannon can shoot two thousand paces, right?"
Cheng Huailiang said: "But the new artillery can shoot four thousand steps or even further."
"Blow, just blow." Li Chongyi waved his hands indiscriminately and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, just go and do whatever you need to do."
"What's the matter, you don't believe it?"
Cheng Huailiang also became dissatisfied.
He waved directly to Duan Zan beside him and said: "Xiao Duan, let's go, come with me."
While talking, this guy led Duan Zan and Qin Huaidao towards the cabin.
Not long after, these two guys pushed something covered with a curtain and walked out of the cabin.
Seeing this, Li Chongyi also had a puzzled face.
He said: "What do you want to do?"
"You don't believe it?"
"Today I will let you see whether this cannon is stronger than your naval cannon."
While speaking, Cheng Huailiang also pulled the curtain off the cannon.
It was also at this moment that everyone present finally saw the true appearance of this new artillery.
But after seeing it, Li Chongyi also laughed out loud.
"This muzzle is probably not as thick as my legs."
"And you say it can shoot a cannonball four thousand paces?"
Li Chongyi held his forehead and smiled: "Cheng Huailiang, Cheng Huailiang, please stop teasing me."
"Perhaps this is an ordnance battalion. It is a lightweight artillery made for the convenience of the team to carry..."
In his view, the artillery weapon must be larger and more powerful.
But the one in front of me looks a bit too thin.
Especially the cannon barrel, the thinnest part is almost no thicker than an adult man's leg.
"Is this called cannon?"
Li Chongyi also laughed without hesitation: "Even if I use it as a chimney, I still think it has a small mouth."
Although he knew that this guy was targeting himself.
But hearing what he said, Cheng Huailiang really couldn't bear it.
He said directly to the two people beside him: "Come on, let's give him a shot and let this idiot like Te Niang know how high the sky is!"
