"Dear friends, you don't have to worry too much! Although this thing is powerful, its attack distance is too close and can only be used to attack cities. If it is used for field battles, I'm afraid a team of light cavalry can attack them by sneaking them, so there is no need to be too scared!" Li Shimin said.

I have to say that Li Shimin is very good at being a human being. When he saw this scene, he did not cheer, and did not forget to comfort the heroes who fought with him. When those veterans heard this, they were relieved. After all, this was only used for siege, and if it was used for field battles, it would be impossible to fight at all. Once used for field battles, his slow firing speed and very close range would be enough to kill them. Therefore, this flying thunder cannon cannot be used during field battles, which made everyone feel much more relieved.

But Jing Wen immediately added fuel to the fire and said, "We have the artillery in the field!"

"What? Cannons can still be used for field battles?" Li Shimin asked.

"The emperor is another kind of cannon, a cannon specially used for field battles!" Jing Wen said.

"Take me to see!" Li Shimin said.

Originally, Li Shimin was extremely surprised by the flying thunder cannon that could defeat the walls of Chang'an City, but now there are still cannons for field battles, which of course made him extremely happy. If the cannons could be used for field battles, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty would increase greatly in the future. This is a politician. Although Li Shimin was a general, he was indeed a politician. Li Shimin would not care about any generals being outdated. He just cared about whether the Tang army was strong enough.

Soon Jing Wen brought everyone to the bronze cannon and said, "Your Majesty, this is a cannon that can fight in the field. Please watch it!"

Soon, the gunpowder technicians loaded the bronze cannon with gunpowder and solid bullets, and then aimed directly at the distance. Everyone could see clearly that there were some animals such as pigs and sheep in the distance. They were tied up, and then obviously used them as targets.

"Your Majesty, wait until I invite you to have a broth!" Jing Wen said with a sinister smile.

"bump!"

The sound of shells fired, and the pigs and sheep in the distance were quickly beaten into an extremely miserable appearance. Many pigs and sheep were killed on the spot, and many were hit by the shells, which were also extremely miserable and seemed to be unable to survive.

When those generals saw this scene, they obviously felt extremely chilled. Because they were all estimating what the result would be when this power hits them. I am afraid that even if they wear heavy armor, they will not be able to resist the direct hit of this cannon. They may even be fatal when rebounding. No one can underestimate this power. After all, this cannon's solid bullet penetrated more than a dozen rows of pigs and sheep together at one time, which is enough to show its power.

"Master, this kind of solid bullet can deal with soldiers who assembled into phalanxes. Once the enemy assembled into phalanxes, we can use this solid bullet to penetrate the enemy's phalanxes, so that we can completely scatter the enemy's phalanxes and be unable to fight. In the past, we used heavy cavalry to break the formation, but heavy cavalry training is expensive, and every time we dispatch heavy cavalry people to eat horses, the cost may not be more than this cannon. Moreover, this cannon can use many shells at a time, and no dense formation can resist this shell! Therefore, the method of infantry gathering into formations and attacking together in the past is no longer feasible." Jing Wen said.

Li Shimin also nodded, knowing that even under the power of this shell, even dense formations cannot be resisted. Although this cannon is made of bronze, it seems to be very expensive at first glance. However, if you want to use other means to break the formation, the cost is even higher. Because the training cost of heavy cavalry is very high, and the horses are also very expensive. A heavy cavalry may not cost less than this bronze cannon. Moreover, a heavy cavalry can only be one person, and this bronze cannon can fire shells many times. Overall, the cost of heavy cavalry is still higher than that of qualified bronze cannons.

However, Li Jing soon realized it and said, "Then we can rank the troops in horizontal rows, and don't place the troops too strong. We can rank in horizontal rows to attack. Isn't this kind of artillery shell penetration ability very poor? Even if it penetrates, it will not be able to kill too many enemies!"

Li Jing is indeed a veteran. He soon thought of a way to crack this solid bullet. That is, by making the team thinner, so that the solid bullet with strong penetration will not be able to kill too many enemies, so that he can ensure that most of the troops rushed to the front line to fight the enemy. Therefore, this cannon does not look as big as imagined.

But Jing Wen said: "General Li, don't worry! Watch our next performance!"

"Get on the shotgun!" Jing Wen said.

The so-called shotgun is a small steel ball, and then put them into the same paper shell. Once the cannon is fired, it will be burned immediately, and the small steel balls in the paper shell will be fired out. However, this small steel ball is not powerful, and it is mainly used to kill the enemy's biological power. This kind of shotgun has a short range and is small, so it does not have much threat to fixed fortifications, but it is fatal to ordinary infantry with poor defense capabilities.

Soon, rows of pigs and sheep were placed in the distance again, but this time they were placed horizontally, so that they could show a horizontal queue. Then these gunpowder technicians continued to put the shotgun into the barrel, so that they could be ready to fire.

"Prepare, launch!" Jing Wen shouted.

"bump!"

Tiny sockballs were shot out and rushed to the flock of pigs and sheep hundreds of meters away. When the sockballs landed on the ground, they landed like raindrops, causing a slight smoke and dust on the ground. But no one dared to underestimate the power of these sockballs, because the pigs and sheep began to thrive, because these were obviously the effects of sockballs. And the pigs and sheep died all over the ground, and it was obvious that their lives were used to prove the power of sockballs.
