Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 267 Defects

After a discussion, the school field gradually became quiet, and the envoys from various countries all had complex expressions, and some timid envoys even turned pale.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "This thing made by Su Cheng sounds good, what do you think?"

Su Cheng was speechless when he heard it, and it sounded good. This pen is really fresh and refined.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "What your Majesty said is that the artillery made by Ankang County is like thunder, and it is very refreshing to hear it."

All the envoys were speechless when they heard it. What do you mean it is good to hear it loudly?

Such a powerful weapon is simply a harvest weapon on the battlefield. Is it used to listen to it?

This is simply blatant showing off!

"This is a magic weapon, God bless Tang, God bless Khan!" All the envoys flattered insincerely.

Li Shimin turned his head to look at the Tubo envoy, and asked with a smile, "But the Tubo envoy?"

Although Lu Dongzan and others have been in Chang'an for two days, they have always been received by the Sifang Pavilion and the Ministry of Rites, and they have not had time to meet the emperor.

Lu Dongzan bowed slightly and said, "Foreign Minister Tubo Grand Minister Lu Dongzan, ordered by Zanpu to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Lu Dongzan, what do you think of my cannon?"

Lu Dongzan said in admiration: "Foreign ministers know that bombs are already magical weapons. Since entering Chang'an, they have heard that cannons are ten times more powerful than bombs. Today I saw them and found out that the reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Bomb? I heard that you Tibetans suffered from the bomb!"

Lu Dongzan bowed and said: "Zanpu was instigated by the villain, and sent troops to offend Datang in a moment of confusion. My warriors in Tubo did suffer from the bomb, but it's not that my warriors are not as brave as the generals of the Tang Dynasty."

The Tubo warriors behind Lu Dongzan immediately raised their chests up, obviously not convinced by the loss to Datang, but their faces were still pale, and they lost a bit of toughness.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "In terms of bravery and elite, my Tang soldiers will never underestimate the Tubo people."

Cheng Yaojin shouted: "What your majesty said is, why should I, the elite of the Tang Dynasty, be afraid of anyone? With an order from your majesty, I can defeat Tubo without bombs!"

Lu Dongzan raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you don't use firearms, the outcome is unpredictable!"

Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and many other generals immediately jumped up, why is the outcome unpredictable?There were no firearms before, and the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty never lost a single battle!

Even if you don't have firearms, you can still fight until you Tubo are defeated and your army is full of teeth.

If the provocative Tang army did not use firearms and had an upright contest, they would never lose to Datang again. After thinking about this, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but have an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Li Shimin said proudly: "My Tang Dynasty has thousands of strong generals and hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers. No matter whether they have firearms or not, our soldiers can defend their homes and the country! However, since there are bombs and cannons, this is With the favor of the heavens, why would I bother to cause casualties to my soldiers instead?"

Li Jingdao: "What your Majesty said is that they are all good men from my Tang Dynasty. Although they died in battle, it is a pity that they were heroic!"

After hearing this, Lu Dongzan didn't have much disappointment in his heart. If the emperor and general of the Tang Dynasty were so easy to fall into the trap, it would have been nothing to worry about.

"I see that you Tibetans seem to have injustices. If you go back, you can rectify your troops and horses and fight again. I will meet them with cannons!" Li Shimin said proudly.

The envoys from other countries all watched the excitement. They wished that Tang and Tubo would fight again, and it would be best if they would lose both.

Lu Dongzan bowed and said, "Actually, I, Tubo, have absolutely no disrespect towards Datang. The foreign minister was ordered by Zanpu to go to Datang this time, for the sake of repairing the two countries!"

"The foreign minister just watched the test of the cannon, and he was also shocked. This weapon can be called a lethal weapon on the battlefield. However, the foreign minister also found many defects after a rough inspection."

The envoys from all over the world immediately pricked up their ears. They were all stunned by the roar of the cannon just now, but they didn't think about the defects of the cannon.

This is very important to everyone, even the courtiers of Datang have all taken it seriously.

Li Shimin's face remained unchanged, he smiled and said: "Oh, let's hear it!"

Lu Dongzan murmured: "Such a colossal monster is indeed extremely powerful, but it may not be easy to forge it. Even though the Tang Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, it may be difficult to prepare it for the army within a few years."

Li Shimin laughed and said nothing, but he also felt that this was a problem in his heart. It is really not easy to cast cannons.

Su Cheng just laughed and said nothing when he heard it. You don't know what assembly line work is. He just thinks that the cannon has not been officially finalized. After the official finalization, the assembly line operation can be implemented, and the speed of casting artillery can be greatly improved. Play the role of confidentiality.

Lu Dongzan continued: "And the artillery is a giant, so heavy, it is inconvenient to move, and there are many mountains in Sichuan and Sichuan, and the road to Shu is difficult. How can such a giant enter Sichuan by entering Sichuan? Even if it enters Sichuan, it will be difficult to enter the battlefield."

The envoys from all over the world couldn't help nodding their heads when they heard this. The Tubo envoy got it right. The cannon was suddenly very powerful, but it was not easy to cast and move.

Li Shimin looked at the Tubo envoy with some surprise, and appreciated it in his heart. When the shock in the hearts of the courtiers and these envoys had not dissipated, the Tubo envoy not only calmed down, but also thought of the shortcomings of the cannon.

Witness and intelligence are the best choices. I didn't expect Tubo to have such a virtuous minister. No wonder Tubo's strength has soared in recent years, and it dared to challenge Datang brazenly.

Neither Li Shimin nor the important ministers in the court changed their colors when they heard these shortcomings from the Tubo envoys, because they had already summed up these shortcomings.

Artillery does have shortcomings, but this cannot obliterate the powerful power of artillery.

Nothing in this world is perfect, how to use it depends on one's heart.

Su Cheng spread his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, let me just say, this shit has so many flaws, and it needs to be improved before it can be put into practical use."

All the envoys were shocked when they heard this. Improve?

Can Datang continue to improve artillery?

If these defects of the artillery can really be improved, then Datang's military strength will definitely advance by leaps and bounds again!

They looked at Su Cheng with complicated expressions. This is Ankang County Duke Su Cheng?

It was he who created the bomb on the grassland to scatter the hearts of the East Turks and finally destroyed them. Unexpectedly, Su Cheng invented such a magic weapon as a cannon!

From the looks of it, Su Cheng alone was worth hundreds of thousands of troops!

Lu Dongzan couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. Although he listed the shortcomings of the artillery, he also understood that once the Tang Dynasty installed the artillery on the city wall, the city of the Tang Dynasty would be as solid as gold.

In the future, whoever wants to go to the Tang Dynasty to plunder must face the bombardment of cannons!
