The whole Tang Dynasty was drunk, but Merton didn't care about the trouble he caused. Instead, he rode to the outside of Chang'an City and stared directly at the West. According to the letter, today is the day of the return of the firearms prison.
Brick road came and went, but there was still no firearm supervisor, but Merton didn't worry at all, but continued to wait.
Slowly, there was a noise from the official road, and then it quickly turned into bursts of exclamations. I saw a long convoy returning from the dust, and even on the carriages, I could clearly see the traces left by swords, bows and crossbows, as well as the black marks left by a lot of gunpowder.
Combined with these, it is not difficult to guess that this convoy officially became a famous firearms supervision convoy in World War I.
"See sacrifice!"
Seeing Merton waiting outside Chang'an City, a crowd of firearm officers and men showed enthusiasm in their eyes. Qi Qi dismounted and bowed down. It was the sacrifice in front of them that led them to create miracles one after another, so that the firearm supervisor had supreme honor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have returned in triumph and finally arrived at Chang'an city." Merton shouted as he looked at the troops following him.
Suddenly, the firearm supervisor shouted proudly. The firearm supervisor deserved to call it triumph in this war.
"However, it is not the time for you to return your horses to the mountain. Your majesty has heard of your achievements and is ready to see the firearm supervision drill in Xishan military camp. Now this toast orders you to return to the camp immediately to replenish your firearm and accept your Majesty's review!" Merton ordered proudly.
"Your Majesty's review?" suddenly all the firearm officers and men couldn't help breathing. I didn't expect that they could have this honor.
"Obey the order!"
The firearm supervisor's morale was immediately high and said proudly.
Soon, the firearm supervisor immediately rushed back to the Arsenal and replenished the consumed firearm in full. In an instant, the firearm supervisor was resurrected with blood and was awe inspiring.
Xishan camp.
When Li Shimin led his civil and military dignitaries to see the firearm prison, he couldn't help shrinking his eyes. The firearm prison, which has experienced the baptism of iron and fire, has completed its transformation and become a real elite teacher.
"Tell your majesty that there are 820 firearms in charge of 1000 officers and soldiers in the whole army. Please review it." Merton said proudly.
"One thousand people, actually eight hundred and twenty people." the general immediately understood this. His face darkened, and the remaining 180 people were naturally damaged.
The civil servants soon understood Merton's meaning. While feeling dejected, they could not help but smack at the combat power of the firearm supervisor. You know, the firearm supervisor's western expedition to Gaochang did not lose one person. Even if he defeated 5000 Tibetan cavalry, he would only lose 180 people in the end. This combat power could not help but make the civil servants palpitate.
Li Shimin couldn't help but be solemn and dignified in the face of the firearms prison.
"Start!" Li Shimin ordered.
"Yes!" Merton bowed in command! With a wave of his hand, the firearm prison array sounded a rapid whistle, which was the sound of the firearm prison's distress alarm.
Almost at the same time, the motorcade of the firearm supervisor began to take action. Dozens of carriages were tightly surrounded into an inner array, while more than 100 carriages were tightly surrounded into an outer array. It took only one incense to finish all this.
"What does this mean?" Li Shimin said strangely.
Li Shimin and others stood on the review platform and looked at the vehicle array of the firearm supervisor clearly with a telescope. They saw that the inner array of the firearm supervisor was round, while the outer array was like a hedgehog. The opposite tops of the two carriages protruded, one sharp corner after another, uneven, like a prism.
Merton explained: "this is the most powerful array pattern - the edge array. Once the edge array is formed, no matter where the enemy attacks the edge array, it will expose the enemy to another edge. An enemy will face two or three soldiers' attacks. Firearms supervisors can form a cross attack. Once the enemy breaks into the front of the array, the pressure will be doubled and the defense will be greatly enhanced."
Li Shimin was shocked. He had been good at fighting for a long time. Naturally, he knew that once he was attacked by the left and right, no matter how strong the force would be, he would be attacked back and forth on such a large battlefield. It was really extraordinary that the Mohist school formed such a fierce array only with a carriage.
Many generals looked slightly. Now most of the major cities in the Tang Dynasty are straight city walls. With the protection of the moat, the city walls will be transformed into an array, and the defense will certainly be doubled.
"What a pity! What a pity! Such a peerless fierce array was born at an untimely time. If it had been born a hundred years earlier, it would be famous. Unfortunately, now in front of gunpowder, it can be broken at once in a powerful castle. The edge array is born at an untimely time!" a civil servant suddenly sighed.
All the officials sighed in their hearts. The gunpowder smashed the city, not only shocked the western regions, but also shocked the Tang Dynasty. There is no doubt that the number of the city walls is the most. However, now the Tang Dynasty has created the strongest spear, which makes the status of the city wall, the strongest shield of the Tang Dynasty, embarrassing.
"No! The emergence of gunpowder doesn't make much sense for the edge array to be used in the city wall, but mohou uses it in a small car array, just like a fortress full of hedgehogs. With less troops, less can win more, but this point, the edge array is of great value.
"Yes, this array is indeed of great use. The frontier post is built with this array, which greatly increases the defense. With very few hands, the enemy can be helpless and go away." Li Shimin nodded slightly. Datang reopened the Silk Road, and guarding the border post along the silk road is the top priority. With this array, the security of the silk road will be doubled,
No one thought that the review had not yet begun. The mojiazi surprised them so much that they finally knew that Tubo had lost this time.
However, the bigger surprise is still behind. A small iron tribulus molitor family is playing wonderfully, especially the iron tribulus scattered on the ground. For the time being, not to mention Li Shimin and generals, even civil servants know it in detail.
What really stunned them was the iron thistles made of steel cables wrapped around the vehicle array, especially the spikes on the rolls of iron thistles above the vehicle array. The whole vehicle array was like a hedgehog.
Cheng Yaojin was so itchy that he picked up the horse and went forward to personally test the power of this new type of Tribulus terrestris. However, even if Cheng Yaojin was such a strong general, he was embarrassed to cut through one piece of Tribulus terrestris. The remaining pieces of Tribulus terrestris were still like a roadblock and intact.
Cheng Yaojin's face was embarrassed. As long as he was given time, he was naturally confident to cut off these iron thistles, but at this time, he probably didn't know how many arrows he had.
"This thing is better than resisting a horse." Cheng Yaojin returned frustrated and immediately praised him. Tribulus terrestris is tough, not easy to destroy, and small in size. It can be rolled into a roll and easy to carry. In addition, it has sharp thorns. It is simply the enemy of cavalry.
The generals nodded one after another. This was the preparation stage. They already felt that it was worth the trip.
