Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 460 Who Opened Pandora's Box
After observing the disposition, packaging and storage of gunpowder, the group of people behind Lu Yan were almost in a state of dementia.

Imagination is always beautiful, but reality is always extremely cruel. I didn’t expect that the thing that blew up the city wall of Yecheng was such an inconspicuous and even ugly gunpowder.
After Geng Liang took the pass token necessary to enter the valley, he led Lu Yan and others to the valley where the experimental gunpowder was located.

After layers of investigation, everyone entered the valley.

As far as the eye can see, the interior of the valley is very open, even wider than the cavalry camp.

In the middle of the valley, there are several thick and tall walls, all made of bluestone bricks, which look similar to city walls.

After seeing Lu Yan and Geng Liang, the craftsmen in the valley stopped their work and came up to salute.

Just in time, Geng Liang said to one of the craftsmen: "Xiao Wei, go and show Lu Hussars and the generals the latest explosive package."

"Okay!" After saluting the young man named Xiaowei, he picked up a newly developed explosive bag and walked towards a bluestone wall in the distance.

Geng Liang motioned for everyone to retreat, and they did not give up until they retreated a hundred steps away.

Xiao Wei put the explosive package under a wall, then ignited a fuse that was more than ten feet long, and then quickly ran to a bunker and hid behind it.

The burning time of the fuse is only about 20 seconds, but Zhao Yun and others feel that these [-] seconds are particularly difficult, because they are looking forward to and somewhat do not want to see its effect now.
"It's best to cover your ears," Geng Hao advised, but no one ignored him.
finally,
Amidst the wild thoughts of Zhao Yun and others, the fuse finally burned to the end.

There was only a loud noise and a flash of light, followed by rising smoke and flying debris!

Lu Yan waved away several stones flying towards him and Lu Lingqi. He was very satisfied with the effect of the improved explosive package.

This kind of explosive pack has a suitable proportion, is easy to carry, and its power is really good.

The only thing that is not ideal is that it is not easy to store, especially in rainy and humid weather, it is easy to get wet.This is why the scouts were ordered to bring packaged gunpowder instead of finished explosive packs.

In order to solve the problem of how to preserve the explosive packs, craftsmen need to do more research.

Lu Lingqi bit her lip, wondering what she was thinking.

"This, the power, the voice." Zhang Fei was startled by the power of the explosive package, and was a little incoherent.

"The sound of thunder that night! It's exactly the same!" Zhao Yun stared dumbfounded at the bluestone brick that had been blown off a lot.

Tai Shici and Xiahou Lan swallowed together, and murmured: "My God, who can bear this?"

"Farewell, my dream." Xia Houlan murmured to herself.

Huang Zhong and Dian Wei trembled with the sound of the explosion, and finally stared blankly at the miserable city wall and the big pit next to the city wall without saying a word.
Geng Liang picked out his ringing ears and shouted loudly: "Lu Hussars, generals, the power of this explosive bag is not bad!"

Lu Yan said loudly in Geng Liang's ear: "Not bad! It looks a little bit better!"

"Hey! Thank you, Lu Hushi, for your compliment!"

Looking at Xiao Wei who trotted back, his head and body covered with dust, Lu Yan asked again: "How much black powder did you put in that explosive bag just now?"

Xiao Wei replied respectfully: "Back to Lu Huqi, the explosive bag just now contained twenty catties of gunpowder!"

Lu Yan nodded and said, "That's right. After we attack the city and bury more than a dozen or twenty of them, what city wall in the world can withstand it?"

"This power is too terrifying!" After Guan Yu finished speaking, his face became even redder.

"Not only that, but this explosive package can also be used with trebuchets." Lu Yan said to Guan Yu and Zhao Yun who surrounded him, "You can imagine, if a trebuchet dropped this explosive package into an enemy camp or city, what kind of Scenes"

"hiss!"

"It's so scary!"

"Like hell!"

Zhao Yun and the others couldn't imagine it, and after a long while, they asked, "If this thing falls from the sky and explodes beside you, even Marquis Wen or you in Xiantian time will not be able to stop it?"

Even if he was born with a mortal body, it was extremely difficult for Lu Yan to resist even a volley of crossbow arrows. How dare he use his body to resist the explosives? !

"I'm afraid they won't be able to handle the gods, let alone me waiting for mortals?" Lu Yan shook his head with a wry smile.

Lu Yan's words silenced Zhao Yun and the others.

With the advent of such a powerful weapon, how will these warriors fight against it in the future?Fortunately, only they have developed gunpowder now, at least this powerful weapon will not be used on themselves.This is the only little consolation.

This is why Lu Yan didn't mention guns and cannons? But with the current industrial level, it's still a long way to go before making guns.

Lu Yan had never disclosed the matter of gunpowder to anyone before, because it was a big killer and also his strongest trump card.

"The secret of gunpowder is of great importance. If the news of gunpowder is leaked out, the princes of the world will definitely be on pins and needles, and they may unite to deal with us. You must keep your mouth shut and remember!"

Lu Yan warned again and again, and the generals also solemnly swore that they would never reveal a word.

Lu Yan was able to tell them this secret because he regarded them as his confidantes. If someone leaked the secret somehow, others would probably not let him go.

After watching the demonstration of the dynamite pack, the generals inevitably felt a little depressed, and the atmosphere seemed heavy.

I thought it was an unattainable state or skill, but I didn't expect it to be a new type of weapon in the end.

Just like the swords, guns, swords and halberds in the hands of soldiers today,
This kind of thing that can directly blast the city wall is so powerful, it is actually a weapon that can be mass-produced!

"If everyone uses this kind of weapon in the future," everyone couldn't help but sighed in unison, and said, "I'm afraid the future battlefield will be completely changed. How should we, warriors, deal with ourselves?"

Lu Yan saw everyone's thoughts, so he smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, gunpowder alone is not enough to change the way of fighting today. Even with the use of some equipment, gunpowder is still not enough to change the way of fighting today. There is a lot of road to go, even if you want to be lazy, I'm afraid you won't have the chance!"

After hearing Lu Yan's words, a light flashed in the eyes of Zhao Yun and others, and they asked, "Really?"

"really!"

After hearing Lu Yan's affirmative answer, everyone's mood recovered a bit. They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that they would have nowhere to display their abilities.
Think about the Ming Dynasty already possessed a large number of muskets and artillery, but in the end they were still defeated by the iron cavalry of the Qing people.Perhaps there are many reasons for this, but it is undeniable that there is still a long way to go before firearms can completely replace cold weapons.
