Datang Longya

Chapter 60 Blood Oath

Leng Feng had just returned to Tianxia Building, before he had time to drink a cup of hot tea, he saw a ghostly guy——Zhang Zhongqing.

Zhang Zhongqing took out Zhang Wen's letter and Li Shimin's secret letter stamped with the emperor's seal to prove his identity.

While drinking tea, Leng Feng read Li Shimin's letter, and asked after finishing reading:
"Are you Zhang Zhongqing, the former commander of the Baiqi Division?"

Zhang Zhongqing knelt down on his knees: "It's my subordinate."

Leng Feng was not surprised by Zhang Zhongqing's behavior, because Li Shimin had already said in his letter that Zhang Zhongqing had left Baiqisi and was placed under Leng Feng's management.

"You have read Zhang Wen's letter, and you know the power of Jinglei. Such a weapon cannot be released at will. Since the emperor told me that he can completely trust you, I will trust you. But this thing cannot be handed over to you." Go ahead and do it."

Zhang Zhongqing said: "Many members of Baiqi Division have been transferred back to Chang'an by me. These people can be completely trusted. Even if you order them to die, they will not blink!"

Leng Feng nodded: "Since you are so confident, I will tell you how to make Thunderbolt after the venue is ready. Oh, yes, tomorrow you enter the palace and let the emperor come out secretly, and I will show you to open your eyes."

……

It is very difficult for the emperor to come out secretly to hide the secrets from the palace officials and officials, but it is naturally not a problem for the people of Baiqisi to take action.

An enshrined Baiqisi, who was very similar in height and voice to Li Shimin, lay on the dragon bed and pretended to be sick, with the queen by his side, and even Wei Zheng didn't notice anything wrong.

It is rare for Li Shimin to come out of the palace, and this time he is experimenting with "thunder", so he specially put on the armor that has been covered in dust for a long time.More than 100 veterans of the Baiqi Division were accompanied by him in full armor. The Imperial City Imperial Army sealed off the surrounding area for several miles, and even the academy and martial arts academy under construction temporarily stopped work.

The location of the experiment was the foundation of the Wuyuan by the Weihe River. There was a huge boulder obstructing the leveling of the foundation. The craftsmen tried to dig it out, but they couldn't see the bottom of it after digging several meters deep.

Since you can't dig it out, then level it out!The method of cracking rocks with fire and water is too troublesome, it is better to blow it up!

Leng Feng installed the gunpowder in the crevice of the stone, and then dragged the long fuze all the way to the wooden house where Li Shimin was hiding.

Li Shimin looked at the thick layer of wood nailed outside the wooden house and the large shields held by the Baiqisi people, and asked Leng Feng: "Is it necessary to engage in such a big battle? The thunder mentioned in Zhang Wenxin only killed a dozen men and horses. Since we are so far away and are still hiding in the wooden house, why should we set up shields for protection?"

Leng Feng gave Li Shimin a blank look: "There are still people who choke to death when drinking water, if you confess to this point, I will be left in history."

Li Ke tugged at Li Shimin's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Father, the lethality of thunder lies in the shock waves and fragments. That day, the thunder Zhang Wen used was only as big as his fist. Today we blasted rocks, but we put our heads in." A big thunder, and the thunder explodes, and the gravel will definitely turn into arrows, so we must guard against it!"

Li Tai also said on the side: "Father, my son is studying the knowledge of kinetic energy these days. My son discovered that the faster the arrow speed, the stronger the penetrating power. Master said, the broken stones excited by the thunderstorm It is extremely fast, and its power at close range is no less than that of the Eight Bull Crossbow!"

Li Shimin thought about the scene inspired by the eight-ox crossbow, and immediately pushed his three sons behind him, and took a shield himself to prepare for defense.

With trembling hands, Zhang Zhongqing tried several times before lighting the fuze with a torch, and then immediately raised his shield to defend.

After waiting for a long time, the voice that everyone was expecting did not ring out.

Leng Feng poked his head cautiously and took a look... the fuze was only half burned, and he found the reason when he walked there to see.

It turned out that half of the fuse there was soaked with dew.

Zhang Zhongqing poked his head out from the cabin and asked, "What's wrong?"

Leng Feng pointed to the fuse and said, "It's wet."

Li Shimin didn't come out of the wooden house until he was sure it was safe. A group of people worried around the fuze. This kind of gunpowder was too restrictive and couldn't be used in rainy weather.

Leng Feng tapped his head to remember what material the waterproof fuze would be, but he couldn't remember it at all. He was used to the standard equipment, and he only learned black powder for self-made bombs, nothing else.

It took Li Tai a lot of strength to squeeze in, and he bared his teeth and said to Li Shimin, "Father, wrap the fuze with wax, won't it make it waterproof?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, yes, just wrap the fuze with wax!
"My Qing Que'er is still the smartest!"

Li Shimin picked up Li Tai and kissed him hard.

Leng Feng pointed to the fuze and said, "To be precise, wax-coated fuzes can only prevent dew. When fighting in rainy days, we still need comprehensive protection. I mentioned to Zhang Wen the idea of ​​the Thunderbolt Arrow before, and I can study it later and hide the fuze in the arrow." , it should not be affected by the rain.”

Li Shimin asked for the torch from Zhang Zhongqing's hand, and asked, "How long will it take from the moment it is lit to the explosion?"

Leng Feng thought about it: "About ten breaths."

Li Shimin nodded: "Enough! You go in, I will light the fire!"

Zhang Zhongqing hastily grabbed the torch: "Your Majesty can't put yourself in danger, let me do it!"

Li Shimin laughed loudly: "In ten breaths, I can go for a walk and return to the wooden house. For such a grand event, it's better for me to light the fire myself!"

Li Shimin's courage is so great that it can be called "death". He dares to do things like defeating ten thousand enemies by a hundred riders. If it were someone else, ten thousand enemies would chase a hundred riders.

Of course, these people in Baiqisi couldn't let Li Shimin do whatever they wanted, if they couldn't argue, they just stood guard with their shields.

laugh!
After igniting the fuze, Li Shimin ran back to the wooden house under the protection of Baiqisi's shield.Leng Feng really wanted to ask him where the arrogance of "coming back from a walk" had gone.

boom!
Thunder is not enough to describe that bang!
Broken stones flew around, and the sound of stones hitting wood sounded from time to time outside the wooden house.Two small pieces of gravel even got in through the gap in the window of the wooden house.

Although the small gravel just hit the shield once, and the shield didn't even dent, but everyone was afraid for a while.

After the voices outside calmed down, Leng Feng asked everyone to withdraw their shields.

Li Shimin walked out first, and when he saw the disappearing boulder, he gasped.

This time, the gunpowder made by Lengfeng used the top materials in Chang'an, and the nitrate was also purified, so the power of the gunpowder was naturally astonishing.

Li Shimin said with emotion: "Such a sharp weapon really deserves the name of 'Shocking Thunder'!"

Leng Feng looked around and said to everyone: "You have seen the power, and you should also know what kind of consequences this thing will cause if it is leaked."

Leng Feng pulled out the three-edged thorn and said: "The production and management of Jinglei is a very important task. The ugly words are in front of you. About Jinglei, even your family members can't tell a word. Otherwise... "

After finishing speaking, Leng Feng threw the triangular thorn to the ground, and the tip of the triangular thorn dug into the soil, halfway in.

Zhang Zhongqing immediately took the lead and knelt down on one knee: "We will not reveal anything until we die!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Of course, I will not treat you badly. Although you will be closely monitored and you will not be able to see your family members, your wives and children will get a lot of money, which is enough for a lifetime. I can also guarantee that, If your children are outstanding, they can give priority to entering the official career!"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, these people knelt down on their knees and shouted "Thank you, Your Majesty"!
It is a very cost-effective deal to exchange a steel knife over one's head in exchange for a prosperous future for his wife and children.

People in the Tang Dynasty paid the most attention to oaths, so when a large jar of wine was put on the table, Zhang Zhongqing cut his face and dripped blood into the wine jar.

120 The four followed suit one after another, and finally Leng Feng and Li Shimin pricked their fingers and dripped a drop of blood into it.

Everyone drank the liquid mixed with blood and wine.

This is a blood oath, and Zhang Zhongqing and others cut their faces and dripped blood, which is the highest level of blood oath.

After completing such a ceremony, the 120 five people led by Zhang Zhongqing had completely sacrificed their lives.

Li Shimin carefully looked at the traces of the broken boulder again, and said to Leng Feng: "The thunder is too lethal, I don't want it to be fully equipped with the army."

Leng Feng knew what Li Shimin was thinking. An army with gunpowder could destroy ten times as many enemies. If this thing spread, the first person to be threatened would be his throne.

So this gunpowder can only be sealed as a trump card!

　On weekends, I helped my younger brother with junior high school math... I skipped a chapter.The result of the previous inquiry was that everyone likes a long chapter, but I tried it. Four thousand words are especially prone to inconsistencies in the text. In the case of no irrigation, three thousand is already the limit...

　　ps: The chapters for tonight and tomorrow may still be [-] words, everyone will forgive me, and the chapters will start to expand on Monday.
