Datang Longya

Chapter 626

After seeing Leng Feng, the soldier knelt down on one knee: "Dean, the student Zhou Fuyu is a student who graduated from the hot air balloon class this year. He was assigned to deliver gunpowder materials to you. Your Majesty has specifically instructed that only you can command these materials." Outsiders are not allowed to intervene in the transfer."

The Martial Academy added a hot air balloon class two years ago, in order to train qualified hot air balloon pilots. Judging from this kid's flight just now, it is estimated that his grades are among the best.

Not wanting this, Leng Feng leaned into the basket and took a look.

Sure enough, the basket was full of small cloth bags, some of which leaked yellow powder, which must be sulfur.Others, it should be saltpeter.As long as he got some more charcoal, he could make gunpowder himself.

Just the basket full of sulfur and saltpeter in front of him is enough to make another batch of simple thunder.

"Erniu, find someone to move things into a room, keep them away from light and water, and keep any fire within [-] steps of it."

Seeing that Leng Feng had distributed the supplies, Zhou Fuyu pointed to the sheep again and said, "Your Majesty said that you and Duke Xun have worked hard and made great contributions. I can't bring in anything else, so I can only send you a sheep."

Looking at the screaming sheep, Leng Feng said helplessly, "It's such a small one, do you want us to eat it, and the soldiers will watch?"

Although the emperor had good intentions, the most taboo thing during the march was that the chief general would eat alone. Although the soldiers could not have any objection, no general ever did this.

There was not much rice, at most enough for the whole army to drink a meal of rice porridge. Those boxes contained wound medicine, bandages, and the worst thing was that there were some injections.Compared with those flashy things, this thing is more reliable.

After putting away the airdropped materials, Leng Feng called Er Gouzi and Li Erniu to help him, and began to arrange the gunpowder.Since the emperor took the risk to send him so many raw materials, it means that there will be a big move on the border. It is very likely that Yuan Gai Suwen will be chased to Cangyan City in a short time.

Pu Xiuzhong, who originally had some thoughts about Cangyan City, completely gave up his plan to attack Cangyan City this time.

There is a mountain spring in Cangyan City. Judging from the fact that there was no fire, the food and grass were not burned by the defenders.Now Tang Jun still has artifacts that can fly to the sky to send supplies.
Cangyan City, fools continue to stare at it!
In fact, one of the purposes of Li Shimin sending hot air balloons to Cangyan City is to act in a play, so as to relieve the external pressure on Cangyan City.

To dispatch a hot air balloon even requires the cooperation of the East China Sea Fleet to reach Cangyan City. It is completely impossible to expect the hot air balloon to deliver supplies all the time.

In addition, the hot air balloon left behind is also a guarantee that Li Shimin left for Leng Feng and Zhang Liang.When necessary, at least the two of them can be preserved.

Regardless of whether they will use it or not, at least his intention has come.

On the Baishi City side, just three earth-level thunderstorms turned the three strong cities into ruins. The resistance in the city was so weak in the eyes of more than 6 troops on each route.

After the three cities were conquered, Li Shimin continued to lead the team forward. The sooner a point was made, the less Yuan Gai Suwen's army would gather, and the possibility of Gao Jianwu and Yuan Gai Suwen joining forces would be weaker.

Although he does not doubt the outcome of this war, he is also willing to speed up the process of the war.

The army advances all the way, and when it encounters a pass, it repeats the process of: bombing the pass-entry-clearing-continue to move forward. Although there are casualties, they are all within the normal range.

In addition, the military doctors of Datang are all trained by the medical school, and they are very good at treating wounds on the battlefield. As long as they don't die directly on the battlefield or on the way, about [-]% of them will be saved when they return to the wounded barracks. killed.

This was something that was completely unthinkable in the past!
The army continued to advance, broke through one after another, and advanced to Zhubi Mountain.

Zhubi Mountain is a dangerous place, with jagged mountains and rocks, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Relying on the natural and dangerous city gates, it is much more difficult to attack than ordinary cities.

The defenders stationed at Bishan had received some news about gunpowder weapons, not only blocked the city gate, but also raised the city wall,

When the ground-level thunder breaks the city, there is a flaw, that is, if it does not explode in the city gate, it cannot effectively destroy the city wall.If the horizontal surface of the city wall is allowed to face the impact of the explosion, it is very likely that several earth-level thunders will not be able to achieve the effect of one.

Seeing the situation in front of him standing at the mountain gate, Li Shimin sneered and said, "It seems that he is prepared."

Li Jing measured the height of the city wall, and said: "Your Majesty, the height of the city wall, although Thunderbolt Arrow and Thunderbolt can reach the city wall, they cannot reach the back of the city. It is a bit difficult to break through!"

After finishing speaking, he also took a look at Li Xiaogong.

Among the crowd, whoever has the most say in the application of gunpowder weapons should be Li Xiaogong.

Seeing Li Jing looking at him, Li Xiaogong said: "Simple land-level thunder to open the city gate is no longer effective. The lower half of the city wall at Bibiguan is clearly a whole piece of natural rock. No matter how many land-level thunders, it will not work." There is no way to blow up a road in a short time."

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Is there nothing we can do about them?"

Li Xiaogong hesitated and said: "There is still a way, that is"

Li Shimin looked at Li Xiaogong: "If you have something to say, just say it, what's the matter!"

Li Xiaogong said the rest of the words: "It is necessary to dare to die, climb up the city wall, and fill the halfway, which is the junction of their natural city wall and the self-built city wall, with ground-level thunder. After the city wall disintegrates, the collapsed rubble can still To fill in the height gap, we only need to put some sandbags, and we can enter the customs."

As early as the day he saw the earth-level thunder, Li Xiaogong knew that this game would inevitably evolve into a human bomb.

His hesitation just now was just wondering whether he should tell this method, after all, this method is too inhumane.

Li Shimin picked up the binoculars and checked the structure of the city wall. According to Li Xiaogong, maybe it is really feasible?
Li Shimin still can't do the thing of sending ordinary soldiers to die, but fortunately, he has no shortage of dead soldiers, so it is still possible to order thirty or fifty to die.

Five hundred Dragon Scale Guard soldiers and five hundred Xuanjia Army soldiers formed a formation of one attack and one defense, and launched an attack on the Zhubi Pass.

Their task is to frighten the guards on the walls and create opportunities for the dead.

However, the guards stationed at Bibiguan obviously didn't want to retreat easily.

The trebuchet, the most primitive and most terrifying weapon, played a huge role with the addition of the height of the city wall of Zhubi Mountain.

In addition, the number of catapults was sufficient, and just a wave of catapults cost less than half of the Xuanjia Army and Dragon Scale Guards.

The armor of the Xuanjia Army couldn't resist the force of the stones thrown by the trebuchet.

Seeing that Xuanjia Army and Longlin Guard were frustrated, Li Shimin hurriedly recalled them.

If it takes longer, where will these 1000 people have to explain!
