"Well, Dejian, if you fail, you fail, don't take it to heart." Li Zhen, the oldest in the foursome, was more realistic, and got up and patted Li Hao on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Governor, although you don't know what the specific situation of the artillery you mentioned, you believe that its power is definitely more than that. The reason why it fails is probably due to the insufficient supplies on the ship." In order to prevent Li Hao from being unable to hold on his face, Lei Yao was also making excuses for him.

Cheng Chumo wanted to complain a few times, but was pulled by Changsun Chong on the side.

Compared to his previous confidence, Li Hao would not be in a good mood after the artillery test failed. It was not the brother who complained about him at this time.

However, what everyone was puzzled was that Li Hao was not disappointed after the failed experiment. On the contrary, he was smiling at this moment.

Cheng Chumo, who was finally pulled, stomped his feet in regret when he saw him like this: "It's over, Dejian was so harsh that he was so excited that he was crazy."

"Get out, you're crazy." Looking at the serious people, Li Hao said angrily.

"I'm not crazy? Then why are you laughing?" Cheng Chumo asked back.

"Hu..." Li Hao let out a long sigh, looked at everyone and said, "Do you know why I let everyone hide? It's not because this thing is powerful, but because you are afraid that it will explode. If such a big thing explodes, there will definitely be more than ten or eight people who will die."

"Oh!" Everyone nodded in one go, not realizing it.

Seeing that everyone was like this, Li Hao was too lazy to talk to them. He got off the third deck and kicked a few guys who were looking for to come out back into the cabin, calling out Feng Qiang: "Come out, continue the experiment."

"Ah? You still have to try?" Feng Qiang scratched his head. In his opinion, the experiment had failed, so what could he do if he tried again.

"Stop talking nonsense, increase the amount of medicine, and use twice the amount of medicine just now." Li Hao said impatiently when he kicked Feng Qiang's butt.

It was the same as the steps just now, but the dosage of the medicine was doubled, and Feng Qiang quickly completed the task.

What is slightly different from just now is that Cheng Chumo and others said this time and refused to lie down no matter what. Except for Lei Yao, everyone stood by the side of the three decks, talking and laughing without taking Li Hao's warning to heart.

Li Hao never used to the problem of those who wanted to die. After the lead was ignited, he quickly hid in a safe place.

Seeing Li Hao so careful, Cheng Chumo shook his head in disappointment: "Hey, Dejian is good at everything, he is just a little timid."

"You can't say that. Gunpowder is a weapon of murder after all, so it's not an exaggeration to be careful." Although Li Zhen also felt that Li Hao was too cautious, he still left some sympathy when he spoke.

Changsun Chong didn't say anything. Looking at the shorter and shorter leads, he always felt that something was wrong.

However, before he could figure out what was wrong, the leads of the artillery had burned out.

"Boom..." An explosion sounded much louder than just now.

The gun's muzzle spewed out a tongue of flame nearly three feet long, and the entire warship's deck trembled with the loud noise.

Everyone on the three-layer deck felt depressed, and their hearts seemed to be trembling.

Of course, none of these matters. What matters is that with the sound of cannons, a pillar of smoke emerged from the Hulao Pass city wall on the north bank. From a distance, you can see the defenders on the city head running around like crazy.

When a gust of wind blew, everyone clearly saw that there was obviously a piece missing in the battlement of the city wall.

He tried a cannon and actually knocked down his own city wall. What's the matter? What if the general who was guarding the pass later treated himself and others as enemies?

The three-layer deck was covered in black threads, and Li Hao, who came out of the hiding place, was also covered in cold sweat.

It turns out that a wise man will make a mistake. He just took care of the safety of everyone on the boat and forgot that the position opposite the muzzle was Hulao Pass.

Speaking of which, when Hulao Pass was bombarded, Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiao Cavalry, was inspecting the defense situation at the top of the city, and the general of Hulao Pass was accompanying each other. The two were chatting, but a sound of muffled thunder came from the river surface. Then, a shot was shot in front of the two of them, and the entire cliff was directly bombarded.

No one expected this situation, and the Hulao Pass was stunned at that time and could not figure out what was going on.

It was not until Duan Zhixuan's personal guards rushed up to protect the two of them, and then they realized that they hurriedly called on their soldiers to defend themselves.

But when he saw the four warships flying Tang Dynasty flags in the center of the river outside, and the flags that were constantly whispered on the ship, he immediately became dissatisfied.

Did you call wrong? What does it mean to call wrong? I almost killed me just now?

While he was struggling, Duan Zhixuan beside him put down a cylinder in his hand and cursed angrily: "These little bastards actually have the attitude to say that they had hit the wrong one. Let someone come and ask them to stop the boat for me."

After Lao Duan said this, he ignored the guard and took his men down the city. Soon after, the pass was opened and dozens of cavalry left.

...

...

Li Hao never expected that he would just test the cannon, but he almost bombarded Duan Zhixuan.

Looking at the old man with a dirty face in front of him and a broken brick on his helmet, he tried hard to squeeze out a smile: "Duan, Uncle Duan."

"I'm not your uncle, you're my uncle, okay!" Duan Zhixuan was furious on the warship and glanced at the four-person group who tried to pretend to be a good child in front of him, wishing he could draw out his sword and stab them all.

Li Hao had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to explain: "Uncle Duan, I... I really didn't mean it, all this is a coincidence."

"Coincidence? I almost knocked me out. You little boy will be finished with just one coincidence?"

"Then..., what do you think you are going to do?" Seeing Duan Zhixuan refused to give in, Li Hao simply threw the pot and gave up.

Anyway, Duan Zhixuan and the old man were ministers in the same palace, and at most he would be beaten up by him. He could not really kill himself.

Duan Zhixuan also knew that he could not really beat Li Hao. He pointed him a few times, paced back and forth for a few steps, and suddenly said, "Say, what did you guy just now blow me with?"

"Arson." Li Hao replied immediately.

"Architecture?" Hearing the noun that he couldn't understand, Duan Zhixuan's eyes couldn't help but look at the dark iron hammer on the bow of the ship: "Is this what?"

"Yes, this is the artillery, it is powerful, and it is no problem to conquer cities and land." Li Hao only hoped to send Duan Zhixuan away early and answer any questions.

Duan Zhixuan circled around the cannon twice, looked at the city of Hulao Pass in the distance, and nodded thoughtfully: "This thing is good, I will send five hundred cavalry guards back."

Li Hao: "..."
