About ten miles west of Chang'an City, it is the location of the Datang Gyeonggi Campus.The green dragon in the east, the white tiger in the west.The White Tiger is the main sword soldier, so the school field is set up in the west of the city.This school field is not used in normal times, but is only used as a place for the army to gather and form formations or regular military exercises.Therefore, in normal times, only a team of fifty soldiers is stationed to guard and maintain.On this day, the soldiers stationed in the school yard were shouted by the commander before dawn to urgently clean up the school yard.After cleaning, the commander ordered the soldiers to wash their appearances and wipe their armor and weapons.The soldiers were rejuvenated from top to bottom, and were assigned by the commander to spread out around the school yard and stand on guard.The reason for this is because the prefect stationed at the school has been informed by the palace that Li Shimin, the son of the Tang Dynasty, will come to the school this morning.When the sun climbed to the treetop level, the sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of Chang'an City.Li Shimin really came.Accompanying Li Shimin to the school ground, in addition to dozens of palace guards, there were also eldest grandson Wuji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong.The other person is today's protagonist, Zhao Yunze, the captain of Yilu.Everyone else was riding horses, only Zhao Yunze was in the carriage.The carriage also carried a lot of things pulled from Zhao Yunze's house.After Li Shimin sent people to urge him several times, Zhao Yunze finally made thunderbolts and rockets.The reason why it took so much effort was mainly because of the production of rockets.On that day, by the Weishui River, Zhao Yunze had an idea and described the fact that he used an automatic rifle to interrupt Jieli Daxu as using a rocket.But when it came time to make this kind of rocket that could shoot off the flagpole at such a distance, Zhao Yunze made a difficulty.It's very simple to make rockets, Zhao Yunze played "Drill Monkey" when he was a child, that is, the kind of small cannon with a small stick tied to it that does not explode.Zhao Yunze's original idea was to make a big "drill monkey", put the tip of the arrow on one end, and launch it flat.This kind of "big drill monkey" type of gunpowder combustion reaction force booster rocket did not appear until the Northern Song Dynasty in the original history.When Zhao Yunze was in a military academy, he had a special course to explain ancient military affairs, so he was also very familiar with these ancient gunpowder weapons.But then I thought about it, it didn't work.Because that day Wei Chi Gong said that he heard a loud noise coming from behind him.In other words, when launching the Drill Monkey, there must be a loud noise first.In order to fulfill this lie, Zhao Yunze racked his brains.Isn't it a bazooka when it makes a loud noise and then pushes the rocket out?
However, in the Tang Dynasty, if a bazooka for modern military use could be made, it would undoubtedly be wishful thinking.Finally, there is one thing that inspired Zhao Yunze, and that is the fireworks cannon used to set off in the celebration.In principle, salutes are not much different from bazookas.So, under Zhao Yunze's toss, a rocket with the dual nature of a salute cannon and a drill monkey was finally made by him.In fact, the structure of the rocket made by Zhao Yunze is not complicated at all.It is nothing more than a one-foot-long bamboo tube stuffed with a modified big drill monkey.This big drill monkey is the so-called "rocket" or "fireworks bomb".The cannon battle of the big diamond monkey, Zhao Yunze made it with a small bamboo tube.Since the paper tube used by the drill monkey that I have played with is fine, then the bamboo tube should be safer.Moreover, paper in this era is not cheap, it is not as affordable as using bamboo tubes.In order to enhance the flight stability of the Drill Monkey, Zhao Yunze changed the thin wooden stick that supported the Drill Monkey into a thin iron stick inserted in the middle of the artillery battle, and the thin iron rod was equipped with an arrow in front of it, according to the appearance of mortar shells and gun grenades.Then three bamboo sticks were evenly tied around the small bamboo tube containing gunpowder as bullet wings.In this way, as long as the drill monkey flies away from the mouth of the big bamboo tube, under the action of air expansion force, there will be a loud noise.Moreover, with such a transformation, the flight distance of the rocket will definitely be longer.As for the actual effect of the bazooka that I have built, it depends on today's test."
Zhao Yunze, it's up to you today."
The test site had been arranged according to Zhao Yunze's requirements, Li Shimin looked at the strange items that Zhao Yunze had put out, and said softly.Zhao Yunze said: "Your Majesty, I just made these things, because there is no suitable venue, and I haven't actually tried it, how powerful it can be, I actually don't know the bottom in my heart." ”Li Shimin said: "As long as I can see the real thing, let me see the special features of this new weapon."
As for the amount of power, it can be improved slowly in the future. ”Zhao Yunze nodded and picked up a bamboo tube.said to Li Shimin and a few others: "Please also ask Your Majesty and the generals to retreat away."
The first test of this thing is still dangerous. ”Li Shimin said disapprerovingly: "Since you are not afraid, then I am naturally not afraid." ”After speaking, he turned his head and asked Changsun Wuji and the others with a smile: "Are you afraid?"
Everyone laughed and did not answer, but no one moved.Cheng Yanjin took a step forward, slapped Zhao Yunze's arrow, and said, "Zhao boy, you also look down on our old brothers."
We are all following His Majesty's corpse mountain and blood sea to break out, I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, and I'm afraid of this small bamboo tube in your hand" When Zhao Yunze heard this, his mischievous psychology suddenly rose, and he handed the bamboo tube in his hand to Cheng Yanjin, and said: "Then since this is the case, why don't you invite General Cheng to test shoot" "You get out" Cheng Yanjin immediately pushed the bamboo tube away, and said angrily: "Although I am not afraid of death, I don't want to die unexplained."
I haven't seen these strange things of yours, so I won't be fooled by you" Everyone laughed at Cheng Biting Jin.Li Shimin said to Zhao Yunze: "Don't pay attention to this rammer, just do what you want to do." ”Zhao Yunze nodded, aimed the bamboo tube at the target in front of him, and lit the fuse that was set aside.Zhao Yunze brought a total of three targets.In order not to be embarrassed, Zhao Yunze used these targets very large, each with a diameter of about one and a half meters, but because the distance was too far, it still looked small.Fortunately, although the distance between the three targets is different, they are placed next to each other horizontally, and as long as there is no accident, even if the blind cat touches the dead mouse, it can also shoot one."
But don't explode, don't explode if you don't make a sound."
Zhao Yunze prayed silently in his heart, "If it really explodes, then blow it up bigger, and blow up all the people present, but don't just blow myself up." ”The fuse "Ziz" burns, and for a while it is out of sight.There was a loud bang, and Zhao Yunze only felt a shock in his palm.Cheng Yanjin was next to Zhao Yunze, and when he heard the sound, he sat down on the ground in fright.The rest of the people, including Li Shimin, were also taken aback.Only Wei Chigong was mentally prepared, although his ears were also buzzing, but his face was very calm.After the loud bang, followed by a long sound of "boom", before everyone could see what was going on, they saw a target two hundred paces ahead of him fall on his back.The ancients used "step" as a unit of length to measure short distances, and one step is to move the left and right feet once, which is about one meter five.Two hundred steps is almost three hundred meters.An ordinary bow and arrow will never be able to shoot so far.It wasn't until he saw the target fall to the ground that Zhao Yunze breathed a sigh of relief.In any case, my ideas have been confirmed, and everything is going well
