Chapter 628: The combat power that shocked the ancients and the present
In front of the test gun range is a city wall built according to the specifications of Chang'an City.
The city wall is twenty feet long, about five feet high, and ten feet thick.
This is basically the highest specification of ancient city walls.
However, under the bombardment of ten artillery pieces, a huge gap appeared in an instant, and there were even faint signs of collapse.
Seeing this scene, Kinderman and Jin Rongxin couldn't help but widen their eyes.
What the hell kind of monster is this?
Such a thick city wall can't withstand this attack?
How terrible it would be if this game were to be used on the battlefield.
I'm afraid that a single shot would blow up a lot of people...
{Received surprise value +99 from Kinderman...}
{Received surprise value +53 from Jin Rongxin...}
They were both so surprised.
But Li Chengqian shook his head slightly.
He raised his head and shouted to Liu Min: "Mr. Liu, it seems that the power does not meet my requirements. Didn't I say that I would destroy it with one shot?"
{Received surprise value +95 from Kinderman...}
{Received surprise value +56 from Jin Rongxin...}
Hearing this, Kinderman and Jin Rongxin's eyes widened even more.
What?
This power is not enough, but it needs to be leveled with one cannon?
It's not a joke, right?
But Li Chengqian was obviously not joking.
Liu Min also walked up to Li Chengqian with an embarrassed look on his face and said: "The cannon developed before can do it."
"It's just that if you want to do that, you have to increase the amount of medicine."
"But in this case, the gun barrel will not be able to withstand it at all. It can only withstand ten rounds of shelling at most, and the gun barrel will be scrapped."
"Then, I made the decision privately and reduced the amount of medicine filled."
He raised his head and glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "However, if His Highness requests, I can customize a new batch."
"No need."
"That's good too."< br>
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "How many times is the maximum bombardment now?"
"About fifty times or so."
Liu Min said: "Moreover, this cannon is lightweight. I have already installed forty more on each of the new warships built in the Tang Dynasty according to His Highness's request."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was also full of surprise.
He asked directly: "You mean, artillery warships can also go to the battlefield now?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Liu Min replied.
At that moment, Li Chengqian's excitement could no longer be expressed in words.
The artillery warship is truly an epoch-making product.
In this way, the Tang Dynasty could fight across the ocean.
If ten or more of these warships could be produced, he would dare to take the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to the mainland of Venezuela.
Li Chengqian said straightly: "Quick, take me to have a look."
Now, he is in no mood to show off to Kinderman and Jin Rongxin.
"It's Your Highness, I'll take you there right now."
Liu Min didn't hesitate and took Li Chengqian directly to the shipyard on the Weishui River.
Kinderman and Jin Rongxin, who were behind, looked at each other and then lowered their heads to follow.
They were really shocked by the artillery now.
Although they knew that Datang's weapons were very powerful, they did not expect that Datang's weapons were so powerful.
No wonder Goguryeo, a country that was considered a behemoth in their eyes, was like a child in front of the Tang Dynasty.
In the face of such a ferocious weapon, I'm afraid Silla won't be able to hold on for long, right?
Jin Rongxin couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Before, he only thought that the gap between Silla and the Tang Dynasty was in the number of soldiers and horses.
But now he realizes that the gap is simply
Like a chasm.
It's more like the contrast between the regular army and the motley army.
Judging from the current weapon specifications of the Tang Dynasty, Silla's army is really like villagers coming out of the ravine.
No, it doesn’t look like him, he looks like a villager from the valley.
…
Shipyard.
This is where Li Chengqian originally built his ship.
Now they were all taken over by Li Shimin and became the shipbuilding base of Datang.
This place not only provides ships for the army, but also builds ships for merchants.
Of course, the military's shipbuilding is funded by the treasury, while merchants have to pay for shipbuilding.
Warships are expensive to build, and merchant ships are not much different.
However, in order to achieve higher speeds, the money is naturally nothing to those big players.
And now, because of the convenience of doing business on waterways, it has provided many people with many opportunities to make money.
Not only the cargo transportation business, but also jobs such as sailors allowed people to make a living.
This also made the various docks in Datang a prosperous scene.
When Jin Rongxin and Kinderman came over, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Kinderman couldn't help but sigh; "The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is really unimaginable."
"yes."
The arrogant Jin Rongxin couldn't help but say at this moment: "If Silla was half as big as the Tang Dynasty, we wouldn't have no money to recruit troops."
Kinderman also nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, they had followed Liu Min to the dock.
There are two huge warships moored at the pier. The warships are covered with iron sheets. Just by looking at them, you can tell how sturdy the warships are.
In addition, on both sides of the warship, there are twenty small windows with artillery installed on each side.
Because I saw the power of artillery.
Seeing this artillery warship at this moment, Jin Rongxin and Kinderman no longer knew what to say. Already.
The military power of the Tang Dynasty can truly be said to be unprecedented.
Originally, Jin Rongxin wanted to compete with Li Chengqian on the battlefield.
But now after seeing this warship, Jin Rongxin could no longer think of competing.
With such arrogant fighting power, who can stop the Tang Dynasty's troops?
I'm afraid that the troops under my command can't even touch the face of the Tang Dynasty, so they will be destroyed by these artillery pieces, right?
And seeing Jin Rongxin’s appearance.
Kinderman couldn't help but shook his head secretly.
Obviously, Jin Rongxin had been completely frightened by Datang's military power.
Although she wanted to give Jin Rongxin some encouragement.
But she didn't know how to speak.
Because she was also so frightened that she didn't know what to say to comfort Jin Rongxin.
Seeing their expressions, Li Chengqian was quite satisfied.
His hard work in bringing them here today was not in vain.
To be honest, the purpose of bringing them here was actually to scare them.
Let them know the consequences of being an enemy of Datang.
Let them die as soon as possible of their will to fight against the Tang Dynasty in the future.
After all, going against the Tang Dynasty is tantamount to self-destruction.
Li Chengqian didn't stay too long, he just followed Liu Min around.
This warship is extremely well built.
The volume is very large, it can accommodate at least two thousand soldiers, and it is also equipped with forty artillery pieces.
In such an era of cold weapons, forty artillery pieces can really be worth one hundred.
Li Chengqian was quite satisfied with this.
It was not in vain that he traveled all the way to the south of the Yangtze River and found so many craftsmen, including Zhu Guang, who was known as the best craftsman in the world.
If these people can't even build a ship, then they really don't deserve to be called craftsmen.
