Chapter 491
Everyone stared at the Desert Eagle in Xiao Ran's hand. It was another new thing they had never seen before.
Li Shimin became alert. He had never seen a pistol before, but he guessed that it was a hot weapon. His instinct told Li Shimin that this thing was very dangerous.
Among the hot weapons he had seen before, Li Shimin did not see a pistol, at least they were all automatic rifles.
Others had not seen it, but the two little princesses and Li Lizhi had seen it.
Xiao Ran would not bring it in the 21st century. Most of the people who came to the Tang Dynasty carried it with them. They were used to it. Li Lizhi and the two little princesses had also seen it.
Li Lizhi and Princess Yuzhang also arrived at the Military Academy and saw the gun in Xiao Ran's hand.
There was no need to hide. In the future, Li Shimin would let some of his trusted elite Tang troops equip themselves with hot weapons.
"As the saying goes, an inch longer, an inch stronger..."
"Little young man, but yours is not long at all." Cheng Chumo did not feel that it was anything powerful. It was not as good as a dagger.
"I am not talking about the length of the weapon itself, but the range." Xiao Ran shook the pistol.
"Uncle, how far is the range of the bow and arrow in the Tang Dynasty?"
"Normally, it's about 100 steps!" Li Shimin is sure that it's more than that. This is an average level that most soldiers can reach.
One step is calculated as 0.65 meters, which is about 70 meters.
"The range of this is about 300 steps!" Xiao Ran shook his pistol. The Desert Eagle has a range of 200 meters.
Everyone was shocked. Such a small thing is so scary.
Hearing this range, the eyes of the generals became hot, and no one doubted what Xiao Ran said.
What Xiao Ran took out was not normal, at least it looked abnormal to the people in the Tang Dynasty.
"How is it possible?" Li Jing frowned.
Li Shimin didn't expect it to be so far. Li Shimin also understood Xiao Ran's intention to carry this with him.
Li Shimin also understood Xiao Ran's mentality. It was reasonable for him to bring a pistol when he came to the Tang Dynasty alone!
I don't mean to blame Xiao Ran.
But Li Shimin was also afraid. If it was bad for Xiao Ran, it would be hard to defend against such a thing.
Xiao Ran loaded his pistol and pointed it at the target not far away. He turned and looked at the two little princesses, "Mingda, second sister, cover your ears."
The two little princesses were very obedient and did what Xiao Ran said.
Xiao Ran looked at Li Lizhi, Princess Yuzhang and Princess Gaoyang again. The two of them understood, and Princess Gaoyang said she was fearless.
Xiao Ran clenched his pistol with both hands and aimed at the target not far away.
Everyone looked at Xiao Ran straight, and no one spoke.
"Bang!" A crisp and short gunshot, like a thunder bursting in the air, instantly broke the original silence.
The sound of the pistol was sharp and piercing, as if it could penetrate people's souls and make people's hearts shrink suddenly.
Many timid people were frightened. The noise was a bit too loud, especially those who were close to Xiao Ran.
The specific lethality cannot be seen, but the movement is very scary.
There is a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
Zhang Ananda ran to see the target, "Your Majesty, the target has been shot through!"
Bows and arrows have arrows, but Zhang Ananda can't find the bullet head of this thing.
Li Shimin probably understood in his heart that the power is more terrifying than bows and arrows.
Seeing Xiao Ran have this, the people around him are a little afraid.
"In the future, the Tang army will also have this kind of weapon. Generally speaking, the gun is fast outside seven steps, and it is difficult for people to dodge it."
"Very difficult... Doesn't it mean that there is a chance to dodge it?" Qin Huaiyu said.
"It can't be said to be dodging, it should be said that there is no aiming, and the aim is wrong. The bullet speed of the pistol is too fast, and people generally can't react."
"What about within seven steps?" Xue Rengui asked weakly.
"Accurate and fast!"
"Because you don't need to aim within seven steps, just raise your hand and shoot!"
The little princess felt very powerful and pointed at the pistol in Xiao Ran's hand, "Little boy, I want this~"
Xiao Ran unloaded the gun, took out the magazine, and handed the pistol to the little princess.
"It's heavy~" The little princess could only hold it in her arms.
Before, she didn't trust Li Shimin, the old man, but now she has some feelings for him, which are secondary. Li Shimin is an emperor and a politician. Xiao Ran doesn't bet on Li Shimin's feelings, but Xiao Ran bets on his own value that Li Shimin will not mess around.
"So good~ Bang~"
"Sizi, show it to Grandpa!"
The little princess hugged the pistol tightly, "No~ It's my~"
Li Shimin put the little princess down, "This is Xiao Ran's, can you show it to Grandpa?"
"Hehe~ It's my little sack~ It's my little sack~" The little princess ran to Xiao Ran with the pistol, "My little sack is here~"
Li Shimin looked at Xiao Ran, just wanting to feel it.
Xiao Ran took the pistol, "Mingda, give it to brother!"
"Yeah yeah yeah~"
Xiao Ran took the pistol and handed it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin also noticed that when Xiao Ran handed it to him, the muzzle of the gun was not pointed at him.
Li Shimin took the pistol and felt it was very heavy, and was a little excited.
I am so eager for this kind of power!
Range, stability, and ease of use, these are all incomparable with bows and arrows.
"Not to mention other things, just the movement just now, the horses must be scared, this should be good for dealing with cavalry." Li Jing also stared at the pistol.
"This should be good for dealing with cavalry. With this range and power, cavalry will definitely pay a heavy price if they get close!" Li Shimin also thought of it.
Xiao Ran also prepared some information. The red cannon is also a dimensionality reduction strike in this era, which is enough for the Tang Dynasty to expand its territory.
Xiao Ran took out the prepared information, "Uncle, cultivate military talents in this area and build a military factory."
Li Shimin flipped through it, "Okay, red cannon... What a good red cannon! "
"General Li, according to what Xiao Ran said, find someone to start building an arsenal, build cannons, and let the Ministry of Industry cooperate with you." Li Shimin handed this matter to Li Jing, the vice president.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Ran was still introducing hot weapons.
"Strength is always the basis for maintaining justice, national defense is the backing of diplomacy, dignity is only above the sword, and truth is only within the range of cannons. Cannons are used to measure the land area."
"Within the range of cannons, all are the territory of the Tang Dynasty. ”
“The voice of the Tang Dynasty is the truth...”
Hearing the excitement of a group of young second-generations, Li Shimin was also a little surprised. Xiao Ran was quite good at inspiring people.
Many people want to enter the military academy, but the threshold is too high.
With people like Li Shimin, Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde in charge, not everyone can enter here.
The status of military generals is not low now.
Seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Ran took a few princesses to the Agricultural College.
“Young Master, I want to see that...your gun!” Li Lizhi also wanted to see it and was very curious.
Xiao Ran took it out from behind, “Wu Niang, it’s a bit heavy!”
“It’s really heavy...” Li Lizhi looked carefully at the pistol in his hand.
