Chapter 27-The Awkward Yuchi Baolin
Cheng Chuwen had already taught the Divine Martial Army the technique of burying lightning.
However, because Cheng Chuwen was teaching alone, and it was the first time the soldiers had come into contact with mines, there were fewer people in the church.
In the entire Divine Martial Army, only a hundred or so people had learned how to bury the lightning.
This time, Cheng Chuxuan selected 100 people.
A hundred Divine Martial Army soldiers moved the mines to the center of the field. Then, under Cheng Chuwen's instructions, they buried the mines one by one.
Then, a few soldiers pushed the rolling logs into the minefield.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions sounded, and the field was filled with smoke and dust. Rolling logs were directly blown apart. It was many times more spectacular than the grenade that Cheng Chuwen had thrown just now.
"This…"
Li Shiming stood up abruptly and looked at the field with his mouth agape. His whole body was trembling. No one knew whether he was scared or excited. In short, Li Shiming was no longer as calm as before.
As for the other intermediate generals, they could only swallow their saliva.
They felt that the weapons in their hands were useless in front of these mines.
If they were on the battlefield, they might have died before they could even see the enemy.
Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao, and the other high-level generals clung to their chairs tightly, trembling with excitement, fear, and joy.
"Good!"
Li Shi Min reacted and shouted,""This is the weapon that our Celestial Empire has. Only our Celestial Empire can create such a weapon.”
"Celestial Empire, Celestial Empire!”
"Celestial Empire, Celestial Empire!”
"Celestial Empire, Celestial Empire!”
The Divine Martial Army soldiers standing at the side raised their weapons and shouted.
Following that, some generals were affected by the atmosphere and joined in.
After a full five minutes, the shouting stopped. Cheng Chuwen stepped forward and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, I have another weapon that is as powerful as a landmine.”
"Good!"
Li Shi Min laughed heartily,"Try it out for me."”
Cheng Chuwen cupped his hands and ordered the soldiers who were already prepared to prepare a grenade in each hand. Then, he shouted,"Drop the bomb."
All the soldiers pulled open the bamboo rings of the grenades and threw them forward.
Dozens of grenades were thrown into the air and fell to the ground in a disorderly manner.
The next second, another explosion sounded.
After experiencing the shock of the landmine and seeing the explosive effect of the grenade again, everyone was much calmer and did not act like before.
At the same time, it also gave them enough rationality to think about the characteristics of mines and grenades. In the end, all the generals unanimously liked grenades.
These generals liked grenades, but it didn't mean that mines were useless.
But the generals of the Great Tang preferred to take the initiative. In this aspect, grenades were more useful and convenient than mines.
Then, Li Shiming decided to focus on the grenade after he returned.
But Li Shiming also understood that even if the Ministry of Works didn't start producing grenades, it wouldn't be possible to equip all the Tang soldiers with grenades in a short time.
Therefore, Cheng Yaojin was the one who took advantage of it.
The grenades made by the Ministry of Works would be given priority to the Shenwu Army led by Cheng Yaojin.
This made Qin Shubao and the other generals very dissatisfied, especially Yuchi Gong.
"Your Majesty, why should Old Cheng's Divine Martial Army be given priority? My God's Will Army is also part of the Imperial Army and needs weapons like grenades.”
Hearing Yuchi Gong's words, Li Shimin smiled and said,"Right now, only the soldiers of the Divine Martial Army are more familiar with this weapon. The grenades can be equipped with the Divine Martial Army first so that they can form combat strength in the shortest time possible.
If you equip your God's Will Army with grenades, it will take some time to train the soldiers, which will reduce the efficiency.”
"I…"
Yuchi Gong couldn't refute this reason, so he cupped his hands and returned to his seat. Then, he snorted coldly at Cheng Yaojin to show that he wasn't convinced.
Cheng Yaojin laughed heartily." Old Yuchi, don't be unconvinced. If you have the guts, you should give birth to a son like Little Rascal. You have everything, but judging from Yuchi Baolin's appearance, it's probably useless even if you give birth again.”
"You…"
Yuchi Gong was so angry that he couldn't say anything, but there was nothing he could do. Who asked this thing to be made by someone else's son? Now that someone else had used it first, it was only natural.
But why was his son so useless? He only knew how to fool around all day?
Why?
The more Yuchi Gong thought about it, the angrier he got. He decided that he would definitely give that kid a good beating when he got back and ask him why he was so useless and embarrassed his father.
However, Yuchi Baolin still didn't know that because of Cheng Chuwen's words, because Cheng Chuwen was too outstanding, he was going to be beaten up by his father.
Knowing that the two were fighting, Li Shiming ignored them and said to his personal eunuch,""Call Cheng Chuwen, that rascal, and we'll return to the palace.”
"Yes."
