The Great Tang Has Heavenly Lightning!
Just as the officials of the Great Tang were discussing how to deal with Su Yan…
Su Yan had already sent out an army to sweep along the Luo River.
Destroy the village and plunder the people and food!
In just a few days, they had plundered 60,000 people from the nearby villages!
The total number of people under Su Yan had reached 170,000!
The entire Fallen Dragon Gorge had become a huge construction site.
They built houses, reclaimed wasteland, and dug canals.
Under effective administration, 170,000 people were quickly drawn into the system.
The reason why they were frequently dispatched these days was because winter was coming.
At that time, the snow would seal the mountain, and they would not be able to move out at will.
After the last batch of food was moved in.
Su Yan ordered his men to close the city gates.
To Su Yan, this population of 170,000 was enough for him to digest for a period of time.
He wanted to completely incorporate these people into his all-round system!
....
Chang 'an City.
In a spacious horse farm.
This was originally a horse farm, but now it had become the Great Tang's gunpowder weapon testing base…
Li Er brought Li Jing, Yuchi Gong, and the others here.
The Concealed Fire Thunder that was formulated according to the formula given by Old Master Yuan had already been produced by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works.
As for its power…
He was here today to test it.
The Great Tang's Li Er naturally took this matter very seriously.
After all, this was a milestone event for the Tang army to surpass world-class weapons.
Once the Tang army also had gunpowder weapons.
The Ming King Su Yan of the Fallen Dragon Gorge was nothing to worry about!
"Your Majesty, this is an imitation of the heavenly lightning that the Duke of E brought back.”
A small official dressed in a green robe stood trembling in front of Li Er.
This person's name was Ada Yang, and he was a skilled blacksmith.
He was the one who forged this iron shell.
His craftsmanship was naturally very exquisite.
It looked much better than the sample Yuchi Gong brought back.
There weren't any patterns on it like the ones Yuchi Gong had brought back.
The entire metal ball was as smooth as a mirror.
After all, it was for the emperor to see.
Who would dare not do their best?
"Take it and try!"
Li Er carefully examined the smooth iron ball and handed it back to Yang Ada.
Yang Ada hurriedly took it and began to fill the iron ball with Hidden Fire Thunder.
After filling it with Concealing Fire Lightning, he inserted a fuse and then stuffed it tightly with a silk cloth.
Yang Ada placed the "Tang version of Heavenly Thunder" on an open space in the distance and lit the fuse himself.
Then, he quickly hid behind an earthen wall not far away.
Following the sound of the fuse, after more than ten breaths.
Boom!
An explosion sounded.
The Great Tang version of the Heavenly Thunder suddenly exploded.
Li Er saw it clearly from afar.
A ball of fire soared into the sky.
Smoke and dust filled the sky.
When the smoke dispersed, Li Er and the others arrived at the site of the explosion.
Yuchi Gong saw that the iron ball had been blown into two pieces. He collected the two iron semicircles nearby and frowned.
"Your Majesty, the explosion of our Concealed Fire Lightning is no different from Su Yan's Heavenly Lightning Bomb. Only the shrapnel after the explosion…There are only two pieces."
Yuchi Gong had specially checked the corpses of the soldiers who had been killed by the heavenly lightning.
The situation of the soldiers who were already injured.
He realized that very few people were killed by the direct explosion.
On the contrary, many were killed by shrapnel.
This was normal.
After all, black gunpowder was not TNT.
Although the explosion was powerful, it was nothing compared to TNT.
Therefore, the Flowery Bullet developed by Su Yan was mainly used to injure the enemy with fragments.
The body of the bomb was made of molten iron poured into a clay mold, and there were specially pre-made shrapnel grooves.
The Great Tang craftsmen didn't understand this principle, and instead felt that these shrapnel grooves were too ugly.
Therefore, when he was making it, he took the initiative to make it look beautiful...
Moreover, because they were forged by blacksmiths, they were different from those that were directly cast. The craftsmen first forged two halves and then pieced them together to form an iron ball.
In addition, although this Concealed Fire Lightning also had explosive power, it was still very powerful.
However, it was still far from the optimal ratio of gunpowder.
Therefore, it was normal that no fragments were produced after the explosion.
"Your Majesty, if you add some stones and iron sand into this iron ball, wouldn't it be better than the shrapnel?" Yang Ada suddenly said.”
Li Er's eyes lit up. That makes sense!"
Therefore, in the second experiment, in addition to filling gunpowder, he also filled some small stones.
Then, he led a few pigs over and tied them up.
Boom!
After the explosion, the sky turned dark.
The surrounding pigs were all pierced by the stones.
When Li Er and the others went over, they were still bleeding.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!”
Yuchi Gong was overjoyed!
"Our Great Tang also has this Heavenly Lightning Art, so we don't have to fear Su Yan!”
Li Er smiled.
Did mere bandits think that they would dare to challenge the Great Tang just because they had some tricks up their sleeves?
Really... He was overestimating himself.
At this moment, a pond horse galloped over.
"Your Majesty! The bandit leader of the Fallen Dragon Gorge, Su Yan, had sent troops to sweep through more than ten villages by the Luo River. He had plundered food and more than 100,000 able-bodied men and women!!”
"What?!"
Li Shi Min was furious.
"Brat! How dare you!"
