Chapter 324? Where did the shells go?
Five hundred black armored cavalry surrounded Li Er and arrived at the navy's headquarters for a short time. Two groups of arrogant soldiers from different military branches looked at each other. One horse was on the horse, and the standard turtle looked at mung beans, pheasants and perverts.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Following Wang Wendu's actions, the three hundred navy masters bowed in an orderly manner.
"Flat." Li Er got off his horse and looked at him in front of Wang Wendu and said, "You are Wang Wendu?"
"Your Majesty, you are the weak minister." Wang Wendu bowed slightly, and his whole body was trembling with excitement.
This emperor finally saw that he was alive.
Li Er nodded and patted his shoulder: "Well, it's not bad, do it well at the Ocean Navy."
"No!" The excited Wang Wendu suddenly straightened his waist and saluted solemnly.
After crossing Wang Wendu, Li Er's eyes focused on Xi Junmai on his side. Seeing that his position should be no lower than that of Wang Wendu, he wanted to have such a number of people in the Ocean Navy.
Fortunately, Li Hao, who was following Li Er, stood up at the right time: "Uncle Emperor, this is Xi Jun's purchase. I plan to hand over the Navy and Land Team to him in the future."
Li Er raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He knew very well what the Marine Brigade was. After Ling Mansion and Chang'an Navy formed one, the old name could not be used anymore. Li Hao was too lazy to think of any name, so he simply made a Marine Brigade for them to distinguish them from the navy.
In other words, although the number of the Marine Brigade is only about 600, its staff is the one in the government, and the person responsible for leading them must be at least a Zhechong Commander.
Nodded, Li Er took his eyes back from Xi Junmai: "Do you think of him very much?"
"Hehe." Li Hao smiled with a big advantage and stretched out his thumb: "I will not hide it from the emperor's uncle. This person has the courage to be unstoppable, and he is absolutely cruel."
This is a cheating product! Listening to Li Hao's introduction, Xi Jun bought it in an instant and was in a mess in the wind.
In just a short moment, I first met the legendary Emperor, and then heard Li Hao call Uncle Emperor.
All these are easy to say, but I can only say that the future immediate boss has a closer relationship with the emperor than I thought. After all, he is the emperor's personal army, which is understandable. But what's the matter with the courage that is absolutely true? If you really need ten thousand people, you can beat him there, and you will be able to kill me if you step on him.
I wanted to explain, but I didn't dare to speak in front of Li Er. Finally, I could only look at Li Hao resentfully, label him a little bit, and secretly prayed in my heart that the emperor must not believe it.
Unexpectedly, Li Er became interested: "Oh, do you take this seriously?"
If it were someone else, Li Hao might not be sure of it, but Xi Junmai is still quite reputable in history. He immediately patted his chest and promised: "I dare to use the head to guarantee it."
Li Er nodded: "Well, I still believe in your eyes. Well, since you are so optimistic about him, why should I cherish the position of Zhe Chong Duwei?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Hao hurriedly came to Li Er and bowed. In the end, he didn't forget to kick Xi Jun who was in a daze.
Xi Junmai, who was confused, was kicked and staggered, and reacted: "Little man... I thanked His Majesty the Emperor."
Until Li Er led the people away, Xi Junmai still did not come back to his senses from the shock just now.
A quarter of an hour ago, I was still white. A quarter of an hour later, I turned into a Zhe Chong Commander. I thought it was unreal and I didn’t dare to do this in my dreams.
Moreover... this governor is too favored. With just one sentence, he can get an official position of at least a fifth rank.
The old magistrate who was once unattainable in my hometown seems to be in his sixties, and he is only a seventh-grade man. He is not as good as others in his life. It is not worth thinking about it. Where is the promised Emperor and His Majesty the Emperor?
Following Wang Wendu, Xi Junmai looked at the young man in front of him from afar and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Before they knew it, everyone came to a remote corner of the base, and bypassed a barracks. A concrete-cast warehouse appeared in front of everyone. Ten military soldiers wearing camouflage training uniforms stood vigilantly at the gate. Even when they saw Li Er and his party, they just saluted.
"Open the door." Li Hao smiled embarrassedly and came to the soldiers and ordered.
"Yes!" The guards divided four people to push the heavy door open, and the remaining six people were still watching the surroundings with vigilance.
This is the elite, and the elite among the elite. Seeing the performance of those soldiers, Li Er had to admit that he was jealous.
Although the Xuanjia Army under his command can also be called elite, Li Er dared to guarantee that when the other people opened the door, the other people must not dare to raise their heads and just focus on concave shapes.
But these soldiers guarding the warehouse are different. Even when facing their emperor, they did not forget their mission. Relatively speaking, Li Er liked the Xuanjia Army around him to be like these soldiers, but he knew that he could not do it.
"Uncle Emperor, please!" Li Hao didn't know what kind of thought was in Li Er's mind in just a short moment. Seeing that the door had opened, he turned around and came to his side.
The warehouse was clean and dry. Under the illumination of torches, ten black cannons were placed near the southwest corner, and the cannon body reflected a faint firelight, looking a little hideous.
"Is this the cannon?" The old killers who came with Li Er surrounded him, touched the cold cannon body, and asked curiously.
"Yes, it's this thing. I almost got bombarded by this thing last time."
The answer was Duan Zhixuan. The old guy smiled so much that he couldn't see the eyes when he saw the ten cannons piled up together. He touched this and looked at that. If he hadn't been able to handle it, he would have carried one of them long ago.
"Can this thing be hit a thousand steps away?" Li Er looked at the cannons from a distance with his hands behind his back, but he still felt that this was not very reliable.
In fact, let alone Li Er, no one of the old guys who were wandering around the cannons believed that this thing was so powerful.
"Well... if you don't seek precision, you can do it with one thousand five hundred steps."
Li Er: “…”
Is it because I speak incorrectly, or is it because you have any misunderstandings about me? You still have 1,500 steps, and you don’t even believe in a thousand or a thousand.
Before Li Er could speak, Li Jing, who had already been unable to bear it, slammed Li Hao's neck and slapped his neck: "Rebellious, your Majesty asks you and say it well. If you dare to speak nonsense, be careful when I go back and break your leg."
Li Hao was shocked and dared not hide it again: "No, no, no, I'm not sure, I'm honest. This thing can hit about two thousand steps at most, but this distance is no longer powerful, and the landing point of the shell is not sure."
Li Jing: “…”
Li Er: “…”
You said you are fat and you are still breathing, right? Two thousand steps, did you move this thing away from 1,500 steps?
Duan Zhixuan, as a person who has the most say among the people except Li Hao. Seeing everyone questioning, he hurriedly said: "Oh, why do you say so many things? There are so many cannons here. Just move out two cannons and try two cannons."
"Yes, General Duan is right, let's try moving out two doors." With Duan Zhixuan's suggestion, the old guys responded to it and said that it was a mule or a horse to pull it out.
But in Li Hao's opinion, the old guys just watch the fun and don't make a big deal, and they're full.
Fortunately, with the lessons from Li Daozong and Tang Jian, no one came out to make a bet, which made Li Hao, who was originally a little expectant, feel a little disappointed.
The cast iron cannon body was quickly mounted on the cannon rack made of cement, and the soldiers guarding the warehouse also brought ten medicine bags and ten iron bullets.
The medicine bag contains black gunpowder that has been prepared long ago. This is to speed up the recharge of gunpowder when fighting, and at the same time avoid blowing up the chamber. The black gunpowder in the medicine bag is exactly the same in terms of the portion and mass.
The veterans such as Li Er looked curiously at the military soldiers wearing camouflage training uniforms who skillfully completed the work of cleaning the gunboat, loading gunpowder, and iron bullets. They turned into curious babies one by one, and they almost crawled into the gunboat, looking at it.
Time was not long, and the soldiers who had completed the loading mission came to report to Li Hao: "Governor, you are ready, although you can launch."
Li Hao glanced at the crowd who was almost holding a small stool and then hugged a watermelon, sighed and said, "Oh, since it's done, let's try it out, increase the elevation angle first, and try the maximum range."
"Wait." Before the soldiers left, a tall figure came over.
Li Hao was happy when he saw the visitor: "Oh, Uncle Li, is there something wrong?"
Li Daozong snorted: "Boy, two thousand steps, right?"
"And, it's about the same."
"Okay, I'll wait two thousand steps away. If your cannon can't hit that far, let's see how I deal with you."
After Li Daozong said that, without waiting for Li Hao to agree, he called two Xuan Armored Imperial Guards and took big steps and walked towards the distance.
The last time he almost changed his name to Zong Daoli in the court, he always wanted to find a reason to teach this Chang'an a lesson. Now, this disaster has come to his door, so naturally he cannot miss it.
Li Hao looked at Li Daozong's back speechlessly. In the past, he always heard people say that ignorant people are fearless, but today he has seen the live version.
In his concept, whether it is a gun or a cannon, he dares to use his own body as a ruler, except for leaving this person just now, I really haven't heard of a second one.
Just as he was thinking about calling Li Daozong back, Li Er walked up at some point: "Dejian, are you sure?"
Seeing Li Er, Li Hao suddenly had a backbone: "There must be a certainty, that is, can you call King Rencheng over? I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that he will come back and beat you? Don't worry, as long as your artillery can hit 700 steps, I guarantee that no one will dare to touch a hair."
Seeing that Li Er was indifferent, Li Hao was a little anxious: "No, Uncle Emperor, listen to me, there is no rifle in this cannon. If the shells are fired for more than a certain distance, there will be no accuracy. I am afraid..."
Li Er's face darkened: "What are you afraid of? Could it be that you were really lying to me just now? This cannon can't even hit seven hundred steps?"
"That's not. I just lie to my father and I don't dare to lie to you."
Li Hao was explaining with a blunt face. The Xuanjia Imperial Guard that Li Daozong took away had just returned. Li Er immediately interrupted Li Hao: "Okay, Daozong should have been in place, so you should start soon. I have been out for a long time. There are still many official duties in the palace. If there is a result here earlier, I can go back."
Li Hao closed his mouth rationally, looked at the direction where Li Daozong left, and comforted himself in his heart. Two thousand steps, the shells flew there and they didn't know where they landed. They shouldn't be so accurate to land on the old man's head.
Thinking of this, Li Hao didn't say anything nice, but took the fire note from the military soldiers and poked the lead on the cannon.
...
Li Daozong stood in the empty wilderness. The navy station in the distance had already sunk below the horizon. There was no trace of it when he stood.
The old guy curled his lips and found a big stone and sat on it.
"Two thousand steps, what a joke, I have never heard of any weapon that can reach this distance in my life."
"But then again, how do you deal with that kid when you go back later? It's definitely not OK to break your legs. That girl Xueyan must turn against me."
"Or how to whip it? It doesn't seem good either. That boy is born with a clever mouth. If he complains about Xueyan's husband, it's hard to explain."
"Oh, what do you mean by this? Such a good opportunity, is it just for nothing?"
During the waiting time, Li Daozong thought about it and murmured to himself. Those who didn't know thought he had some mental illness.
In the end, the old guy made up his mind. Whatever his daughter wants to think, he can't forget me if he has a son-in-law. He should still beat him, otherwise where would he put his father-in-law's face?
‘Boom…’ In a vague way, a muffled thunder seemed to come from the sky. Li Daozong, who was planning alone, raised his head and was about to distinguish the direction of the sound.
‘Bang’.
Suddenly, a dark iron ball that was two circles larger than the fist fell down.
It is impartial and hits the right side of the left leg and the left side of the right leg.
Li Daozong: “…”
"Gudu", swallowed it with difficulty, and the cold sweat came down with a "whisper".
Looking at the dark iron beads slowly rolling to the ground, thinking about the consequences of this thing going up half an inch, Li Daozong's old face turned pale and his eyes twitched wildly: "This, this little bastard, are you planning to kill me?"
...
After a loud bang, Li Er and a group of old guys stared at the five or seven hundred steps ahead.
However, after a while, there was no reaction of falling iron bombs in the visible part of the naked eye. It seemed that the shot just now did not fire anything.
Where did the shells go? Everyone looked at each other.
After a long time, Li Er's face, who still had no discovery, showed a look of surprise. If the shells were not hit near, they must have flew far away. Two thousand steps might be really possible.
Chapter completed!
