Monument Yangmen

Chapter 709 There is no airtight wall

Zhao Guangyi was obviously hesitant when it came to what the general prisoner had obtained a year ago.

Some people who don't know the inside story are obviously confused.

Those who can hook up with generals and wars are naturally ordnance.

In the past, we got powerful weapons, and the civil servants who knew it wanted to announce it to everyone.

But this time it was a bit different, and it had been hidden for a year without hearing any news.

It must be unusual for Zhao Guangyi and Zhang Qixian to hide something for so long and not want to announce it to the public.

Judging from Zhang Qixian's tone, it seems that as soon as that thing comes out, it can change the situation of the battle.

What is it?
Apart from doubts on the faces of the generals, there was joy.

The civil servants all had sharp eyes, wishing they could quickly uncover this secret.

If they are really that powerful, they can also compose poems and fuss and brag about it fiercely.

Zhao Pu frowned, but did not speak.

As the prime minister, he didn't know about such a big matter, which made him a little annoyed, but there was no expression of dissatisfaction on his face.

The expression on Cao Bin's face was the most exciting. At first, he was puzzled, then frowning in thought in an instant, and then he seemed to think of something, and his brows were furrowed even more.

Zhang Qixian saw that Zhao Guangyi was hesitant, so he took a step forward and said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, at this point, we can no longer hesitate. Without that, fighting with the lives of the soldiers will only make more soldiers die." Buried in Youzhou City."

Zhao Guangyi raised his head, was stunned for a long time, and then heaved a long sigh, "I originally wanted to keep that thing and use it in the final battle with Brother Yeluxiu. It will definitely give Brother Yeluxiu a big fright at that time. The one who snatched Yanyun Sixteen States from Brother Yeluxiu.

Forget it, although Yeluxiu would be guarded against Zaoyong, more soldiers could survive.I agree..."

Zhang Qixian was overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being considerate of the soldiers."

Decided to use the secret weapon, Zhao Guangyi no longer hesitated.

The army is assembled again.

As always, start the siege.

The battle is just like the previous few days, nothing has changed.

The corpses under the city head are almost piled up into a hill.

Zhao Guangyi nodded to Zhang Qixian, and said unwillingly: "It's time..."

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that under the leadership of Zhang Qixian, teams of soldiers who were obviously dressed differently from other soldiers escorted one after another of ox carts to the front of the formation.

After looking at the neatly arranged clay pots on the bullock cart, everyone finally knew what Zhao Guangyi's secret weapon was.

gunpowder!

Although gunpowder was rare in the Song Dynasty, it has not yet reached the point of being carefully treasured.

There is only one kind of such solid gunpowder that can be treasured.

The gunpowder used by Yang Qi.

Everyone has heard about the power of the gunpowder Yang Qi used.

Now it appears on the battlefield and is used to deal with the Liao people.

It is indeed a winning weapon.

Everyone stared at the gunpowder, which quietly approached Youzhou City under the escort of the soldiers and under the cover of the soldiers.

Under the cover of the soldiers, the ox cart transporting the gunpowder quickly arrived at the gate of Youzhou City.

Cans of gunpowder were quietly piled up under the gate of Youzhou City.

Carefully transported, placed carefully, and ignited carefully.

Then, under the astonished eyes of the Liao army on the top of the city, the soldiers of the imperial army entrenched at the gate of the city immediately withdrew from the battlefield.

"Boom!"

A loud bang.

Youzhou City trembled three times.

The gate of Youzhou City was blown to pieces.

Flames filled the air and smoke billowed.

"The city is broken?"

With this question in mind, the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army rushed to the gate of the city.

Then, they saw the broken wooden gate, the stone wall of the huge stone city sealed the gate hole tightly, and it was tightly built with glutinous rice poured with copper juice.

The wooden door blasted open by the gunpowder left scratches on the stone wall one after another, but the stone wall still stands there firmly.

The city is not broken.

Except for the lack of a wooden door, there is no slight change.

……

Song army camp.

Yang Qi ran out of the tent as early as when the sky-shattering explosion was heard at the gate of the city.

Yang Qi, who was only wearing obscene clothes, looked at the city gate hole billowing in thick smoke, a little dazed.

After hearing the explosion, Peng Pai hurried to the tent to look for Yang Qi. He didn't find Yang Qi in the tent, so he looked outside.

Finally, on a piece of high ground closest to Youzhou City, I found Yang Qi who was staring at Youzhou City in a daze.

Seeing Yang Qi, Peng Pai said impatiently: "Master, our secret formula of gunpowder may have been leaked..."

Yang Qi withdrew his gaze from Youzhou City, glanced at Peng Pai, and said calmly: "I know..."

Yang Qi's gaze was very cold, Peng Pai couldn't help shivering when he saw it.

Peng Pai lowered his head subconsciously.

At present, there are two gunpowder workshops under Yang Qi's command, one is in the Mangshan base in the southern country, and the other is in Fengcheng in the four prefectures of the northwest.

Mangshan base is all slaves, and only the most loyal scarecrows and dead men can come out from there.

So, obviously, the gunpowder didn't come from there.

Then only Fengcheng was left.

The gunpowder workshop in Fengcheng was established on the basis of the original weapon workshop.

Most of the people inside are ordinary people.

It is very likely that the enemy's spies will be mixed in.

The reason why Peng Pai lowered his head when facing Yang Qi's cold gaze was because he was responsible for the safety work of Fengcheng Gunpowder Workshop.

"Master, this subordinate is guilty."

After a long silence, Peng Pai bowed and pleaded guilty to Yang Qi.

Yang Qi said coldly: "What's the use of pleading guilty now? With this sharp weapon in our own hands, we will be invincible and invincible. But in the hands of the enemy, we are the only ones who will suffer in the end.

Now send someone back immediately to check the gunpowder workshop, and would rather kill the wrong one than let it go.

I hope our secrets have not been exposed too much, especially the secret workshop that just came from Dali.

If the contents of the secret workshop from Dali are exposed, you Peng Pai can only apologize with death. "

"Shh!"

Peng Pai knelt down on one knee, and solemnly said: "This subordinate is incompetent, and let such an important secret be leaked. After this incident, this subordinate is willing to allow the young master to punish. But young master, you can rest assured that the granules of gunpowder and the things from the secret workshop will never be released." May leak.

To tell the truth, the young master, the guys in the gunpowder workshop are all slaves bought by his subordinates.It is impossible for them to produce granular gunpowder workshops in this life.

The people of the secret workshop are temporarily housed in a mountain near Fengcheng.Guarding them is a group of Kunlun slaves and dumb slaves among the scarecrows. No one can come out of there unless the Huhou and his subordinates give orders. "

Hearing Peng Pai's explanation, Yang Qi's face obviously eased a bit, he looked at Peng Pai and said: "I hope what you said is right. However, Fengcheng is obviously being targeted, so we can't wait any longer.

Send someone to move the pellets and the secret workshop right away.Moved to Yanshan Mountain, based on Yanmenguan, the workshop was rebuilt.

At the same time, the scarecrow was ordered to keep a tight defense. Without my order, anyone who enters or exits without my order will be shot to death. "

After a pause, Yang Qi stared at Peng Pai and said in a low voice, "Including you..."

Peng Pai shuddered and lowered his head in humiliation, "This subordinate understands."

The reason why Yang Qi did this was not because he didn't believe him, but because he was punished for doing something wrong.

If you do something wrong, you have to be punished, it is inevitable.

If Yang Qi doesn't punish Peng Pai this time, it's hard to guarantee that Peng Pai won't be lucky.

What if something more confidential is leaked next time?
Peng Pai made such a big mistake, Yang Qi was just a small punishment, if it were Zhao Guangyi, Peng Pai would probably be gone now.

After reprimanding Peng Pai, Peng Pai obediently went down to carry out Yang Qi's order.

When Yang Qi looked at Youzhou City again with a gloomy face, he was stunned.

Immediately, there was a belly laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Hahahahahaha..."

"..."

Facts have proved that what Peng Pai said was true, and only black powder was spread.

The stuff about granules of gunpowder and secret workshops didn't get out.

Otherwise, even if the gates of Youzhou City were built with stone walls, they would not be safe and sound.

What Yang Qi found ridiculous was that he thought Zhao Guangyi was naive.

Naive enough to think that with the black powder, he could do whatever he wanted and be invincible.

Zhao Guangyi had obtained the black powder for a long time, and hid it so deeply, he probably wanted to take it out at a critical moment to defeat the enemy.

But unexpectedly, Waterloo.

"Hahaha... I laughed so hard."

Yang Qixiao was out of breath.

If black gunpowder could really do whatever it wanted and be invincible, why did Yang Qi engage in so many schemes and schemes?
Just use black powder to clear the way and just crush it.

Facts have proved that even with black powder, you can't do whatever you want.

Yang Qi not only has black powder in his hands, but also granule gunpowder which is a hundred times more powerful than black powder, as well as the secret weapon researched by the secret workshop.

Even so, Yang Qi didn't dare to straighten his back and tell everyone that he was invincible.

Zhao Guangyi naively thought that with black powder, he could really be invincible, and he used black powder as the finale.

Yang Qi really wanted to die of laughter.

The power of black powder is really limited.

It was probably because Yang Qi buried tens of thousands of Yeluxiu's army with black powder outside Fuxing Pass, which made people mistakenly think that black powder is terrible.

In fact?

In fact, Yang Qi was able to kill tens of thousands of Yeluxiu's army when he was outside the Fuxing Pass, which was based on the base of black powder.

The gunpowder Yang Qi planted outside Fuxing Pass was a thousand times more than what Zhao Guangyi used to blow up Youzhou City.

……

When Yang Qi couldn't breathe with laughter, Han Derang almost died laughing.

If it weren't for the support of the two guards beside him, he would have fallen to the ground laughing and couldn't get up.

Han Derang smiled and looked at the bewildered Great Song Imperial Army under the city and taunted him: "You are too naive, do you really think that the old man is defenseless against gunpowder? When the old man learned that Yang Yansi was going to invade my Daliao with you, the old man He knew that on this battlefield, he would definitely encounter gunpowder.

Therefore, after the old man took control of Youzhou City, he ordered people to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and hoarded enough food for everyone in Youzhou City to feed for a year.Then the four doors were sealed.

Those of Youzhou city who want to use gunpowder to blow up the old man, you are dreaming. "

"Hahaha……"

miles away.

Zhao Guangyi, who was supervising the battle, had a gloomy and terrifying expression.

The gunpowder he had given high hopes for did not exert the power he expected, which made Zhao Guangyi feel dull and very annoyed.

I have worked so hard to hide the killer weapon for a year, so it turns out to be such a fancy silver pewter gun head?
Or does this thing recognize people?
In the hands of Yang Qi, it is powerful and frightening, but in the hands of others, it is weak and powerless?

Zhao Guangyi, who had spent a month studying gunpowder carefully, did not believe that this thing recognized people.

Then there is only one possibility left.

The gunpowder he got was probably fake.

Damn!

After spending so much manpower and material resources, the secret recipe of gunpowder that I finally obtained from Fengcheng is actually fake?

Damn!

That little bastard Yang Yansi must have tricked me.

Zhao Guangyi put the blame on Yang Qi again, and secretly wrote down a blood debt between himself and Yang Qi.

Han Derang's ridicule on the top of the wall has been passed on to Zhao Guangyi's ears.

Facing Han Derang's ridicule, Zhao Guangyi became even more angry.

Now that he can't move Yang Qi for the time being, he can only vent his anger on Han Derang.

"Hit me hard!"

"The first one to reach the top of the city will be rewarded ten thousand gold, made an earl, and ate two hundred households..."

"Those who come to see Hande will be rewarded with [-] catties, be made Marquis, and eat thousands of households..."

"..."

All the soldiers who did not have a title, or whose title was not as good as these two, had a bright light flashing in front of their eyes.

There is no doubt that this is the real charm of war.

It can turn an ordinary person into a high-level nobleman who has attracted much attention.

It can make a poor and down-and-out man become a favorite in everyone's eyes.

The four words 'immediately seal the Marquis' not only represent honor, but also endless wealth and status.

Qin!Chinese!Don!
During the period of the Three Dynasties, when the soldiers faced the battle, they bravely killed the enemy one by one.

What really motivates the soldiers?
It is the unique charm of this war, "immediately seal the marquis".

When the King of Qin was sweeping Liuhe, a plain-headed commoner, relying on military merits, took the position of the highest general of the empire step by step.

During the Chu-Han War, a big-headed soldier could become a marquis in front of Liu Bang just by picking up Xiang Yu's leg.

……

In short, there are countless things like this in history.

This is the charm of war, and it is also the only opportunity for people from poor families to get rid of poverty and become rich.

Of course, before the "scholar-bureaucrats" did not control the world, a series of words such as "a good man should not be a soldier", "the Donghuamen roll caller is a good man" and other words had not spread.

The words "immediately seal the marquis" are the most reasonable.

When the soldiers who had received the promise of great rewards looked at Youzhou City again, their gazes were different.

What they see is no longer dead bodies and sorrows, but more money and status.

"Siege!"

"kill!"

"..."
