Chapter 14 Be prepared for danger in times of peace
After leaving Baishi City, Gao Dali naturally drove the carriage as the driver.
Although Emperor Qianwu was sitting in the carriage, he stuck his head out and looked at the numerous large and small pits on the bloody plain, some of which were still emitting wisps of gunpowder smoke.
Meat residue shattered by shells was everywhere.
On the bloody plain, a group of soldiers were rummaging for beast elixirs on the corpse of the black thorn beast in the artillery pit.
Although Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali witnessed the power of the artillery with their own eyes on the city wall, they could feel the power of the artillery more intuitively after going down the city wall and onto the bloody plain.
You must know that this black thorn beast can be as small as a calf, and this type of evil beast is very powerful. It often requires a warrior with a strength of thousands of kilograms to deal with it. That is to deal with a black thorn beast the size of a calf.
If it is the size of an adult cow, a more powerful warrior is needed.
Especially the Black Thorn Beast King, whose size is so big and so frightening that ordinary warriors cannot deal with it. If he slaps it with one claw, it can turn an adult into a meat pie.
However, the artillery was able to kill the black thorn beast with just one bombardment and blast out such a huge mud pit on the hard ground.
Think about it, the all-out blows of those third-grade little masters in the world are probably nothing more than this.
However, there are ten such terrifying weapons in Baishi City.
But no, a whole hill was blown up!
After walking out of Baishi City, Emperor Qianwu naturally no longer needed to conceal his identity and said: "Gao Dali, what do you think of this artillery?"
Gao Dali was respectful and amazed at the same time: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this artillery is indeed a first-class weapon. With this artillery, it can be compared to a third-grade little master. He no longer has to fear evil beasts."
Emperor Qianwu shook his head: "What you said is a bit exaggerated. Artillery is a dead thing, and it cannot be compared to a real third-grade little master. But the power is amazing. If there are hundreds or thousands of artillery, even if it is Even evil beasts and hundreds of tribes from all over the world, I, Dagan, am naturally unafraid of!"
At the end of the sentence, his eyes became a little hot.
As an emperor, who doesn't want to expand the territory and leave a name in history!
Especially since he is in his prime and still has a lot of time.
Unfortunately, the artillery is still in the preliminary development stage and has not yet been completely perfected.
Gao Dali said quickly: "What your Majesty said is true."
"Okay, let's not talk about this. This time I came to Baishi City and gained a lot. Now when I return to Huangfu, I will find an opportunity to ask Xiaojiu to come over."
Emperor Qianwu had already begun to think about how embarrassed Li Changfeng would be if he came to Huangfu to meet him.
After thinking about it, I gritted my teeth again.
This bastard is the only one in the world who dares to let his own father enter the brothel, and even uses that special video recorder to film it and threaten him.
When the time comes, I must teach this bastard a lesson, even if he produces artillery and other important weapons of the country.
Gao Dali on the side was both amused and envious, because he knew that His Majesty had begun to pay attention to the Ninth Prince, and that the Ninth Prince was destined not to continue to be trapped in Baishi City.
…
But it was said that after Li Changfeng left the city wall, he had just returned to his house with Bingbing, when Liang Dafu came to the door and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, I just heard the sound of multiple cannons. Did you shoot a lot of evil beasts?"
gun?"
Just now he heard the sound of intensive artillery firing in the scientific research institute.
Therefore, after learning that the beast tide had been wiped out, Liang Dafu rushed to the city lord's mansion immediately to find out how many shells had been fired.
Although there is a large inventory of artillery shells, they cannot withstand such intensive bombardment.
Enough of Lao Liang, I'm not so perverted, okay?
However, after firing so many shells, when facing Liang Dafu, Li Changfeng felt a little weak and coughed: "Indeed, there are probably dozens of shells."
He vaguely mentioned a number. Although the exact number was not counted, it was estimated to be one hundred, thirty or forty guns.
After all, a hill has been razed to the ground. Without hundreds of cannons, how could it have exploded?
Liang Dafu asked: "A few dozen guns? More than thirty guns?"
"Almost."
Li Changfeng nodded. He was not telling lies. More than thirty cannons and more than one hundred and thirty cannons sounded the same.
Liang Dafu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. There are only two hundred artillery shells in the entire inventory. More than thirty cannons have been fired, and there are still 167 cannons. Even if the beast tide comes again, we are not afraid. It depends on the situation, short term
There is no need to make any more cannonballs within this time——"
"no!"
Li Changfeng shouted loudly, startling Liang Dafu: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
There are only about 60 cannons left in the inventory. Who knows when the next wave of beasts will come.
If there are not enough artillery shells, even if it can deal with the beast tide.
As a prudent and steady city lord, Li Changfeng would never allow Baishi City to lack adequate fire protection. If the next beast wave came in the thousands, it would be a disaster.
Therefore, the artillery shell inventory can only be more, not less.
Of course, Li Changfeng could not say these words directly, but said seriously: "Old Liang, although there is still a lot of artillery shells in stock, can we think that we can slack off because we have enough stocks? We are in Baishi City, with the Nanman
Bordering, even though Shiraishi Castle is here
It has been built tall and stable over the years, but we cannot think that White Rock City can withstand everything, nor should we think that we can slack off with more than a hundred artillery shells in stock. Instead, we should be prepared for danger in times of peace and make more preparations. Only in this way can we be more prepared.
Face the crisis well."
"So, this prince hopes that the Scientific Research Institute can produce more artillery shells to make the inventory more sufficient and take precautions before they happen. Do you understand?"
Liang Dafu was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Li Changfeng with admiration. He didn't expect His Highness to think so far ahead.
It was him who slacked off.
I originally thought that with the tall city walls standing up to block it and the artillery and other important weapons of the country guarding it, I would have nothing to fear and could relax.
But now it sounds like everything is wrong.
If a larger-scale beast wave attacks, if the southern barbarian army attacks, this will never be enough.
Although these may seem unrealistic, Daqian has not seen a large-scale beast tide for many years, and the southern barbarians are also afraid of Daqian's national power.
But as His Highness said, we need to be prepared for danger in times of peace and nip it in the bud.
Liang Dafu immediately said sternly: "Your Highness, you are right, we are slacking off. Although there are still a lot of cannon shells in stock, this is a deserted state with many evil beasts, and there are even Southern Barbarians who are watching covetously. How dare we be careless? .When I got back, I led the scientists from the Research Institute and worked overtime day and night to develop more artillery pieces and the artillery shells came out."
What I want is your words!
"No!" Li Changfeng wished that the scientific research institute would immediately work overtime to make cannonballs, but he said hypocritically, "Although I hope to make more cannonballs as soon as possible to replenish the warehouse, I don't want you to tire yourself out. After all, , you scientists are the important talents of our Baishi City and are indispensable."
"Your Highness—" Tears welled up in Liang Dafu's eyes. He didn't expect that at this time, His Highness would still care about them so much. He immediately said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Although we are not as powerful as Commander Zhang and others, we still practice martial arts on weekdays. My body, energy and spirit are quite good, so working overtime for a period of time is not a problem."
"But--"
"Your Highness, it's okay. You are doing this for the safety of our Baishi City, and we can't hold you back. I believe everyone in the Research Institute thinks so. Please, Your Highness, don't stop us from working overtime." Liang Dafu road.
This is your request to work overtime, not me.
Li Changfeng was about to laugh out loud in his heart, but sighed on his face: "In this case, I will not stop you, but you must promise me that you must not exhaust your body. After all, if the city is gone, you can still survive. Construction, artillery, and shells are gone, but they have not been manufactured again. But when the people are gone, they are really gone."
"Your Highness, please rest assured." Liang Dafu was very moved.
He immediately said goodbye and left, his eyes full of determination. He wanted to go back to the scientific research institute and work overtime to make more shells and improve the artillery better. He must not let down His Highness's wishes.
Finally, he tricked Lao Liang into making more cannonballs. Li Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. People in this era are easy to trick.
As soon as the front leg saw off Liang Dafu, the rear leg Commander Zhang came to the door with a cloth bag. He didn't know why, but he was very happy and said: "Your Highness, the general has already collected all the beast elixirs of the black thorn beasts outside the city. It was dug out. Unfortunately, most of the Black Wattle Beasts were blasted to pieces by artillery, and the Beast Pills couldn't bear it, so only twenty-one Beast Pills were dug out in total, of which only the Beast King Pill of the Black Wattle Beast King was left. It’s just the second half.”
"As for the Black Thorn Beast King, only one head and one leg are left, and his subordinates have already placed them in the backyard."
The cloth bag contains the beast elixir.
Beast elixir is a product of evil beasts. Just like warriors can cultivate their internal strength, the reason why evil beasts are more powerful than ordinary beasts is because they have special beast elixirs in their bodies that can release power similar to internal strength.
Makes the strength significantly stronger.
Although the beast elixir is an important source of the power of evil beasts, warriors cannot directly absorb the energy of power, transform it into their own, and strengthen their own internal strength.
This is one of the important reasons why evil beasts can wreak havoc in this world. Human beings are selfish. Seeing these evil beasts are ferocious and terrifying, even warriors can easily be injured or killed when facing evil beasts, and the beast elixir cannot be converted into
He owns it, so if the evil beast does not invade him, the warrior will not easily attack the evil beast.
Otherwise, if the beast elixir can be converted into internal power, even the evil beasts may not be enough for human warriors to kill.
Li Changfeng took the cloth bag and opened it. There were a total of twenty-one beast elixirs, large and small. The small one was only the size of a little finger, and the largest one was half a baby's fist.
The reason why it is said to be half a baby's fist is because there is only half of it, which is the beast elixir of the Black Thorn Beast King.
"What a pity. If I had known better, I wouldn't have fired so many shots." Li Changfeng looked at the beast elixir in the cloth bag with some regret, but regret is regret, and if he did it again, he would still crush the Black Thorn Beast King to ashes.
He didn't want to be thought about all day by the beast king of an evil beast.
After taking a look at Commander Zhang, who was smiling and seemed very happy, Li Changfeng asked doubtfully: "Old Zhang, you seem to be very happy?"
The general will naturally be happy. If your majesty receives the memorial, he will definitely reuse you, your highness, and will not let you stay in a small place like Baishi City any longer.
Of course, Commander Zhang would not say these words, he just said: "General, I just thought of some happy things."
"Okay, let's go."
After Li Changfeng drove away Commander Zhang, he came to the edge of the deserted pond in the backyard of the mansion. There was a large sack containing a bloody head. It was several times larger than a human head. It belonged to the Black Thorn Beast King.
brain.
There is also a huge animal leg next to it.
Li Changfeng sat on the edge of the pond, holding a fishing rod to lift the head of the beast king. With one hand, the head of the beast king, which weighed a hundred kilograms, fell to the pond five or six feet away with a pop.
center.
While sitting on the chair, he took out a beast elixir from the cloth bag with his other hand and threw it directly into his mouth, as if eating candy. He stared at the center of the pond and murmured to himself: "That's right.
