The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 330 Blow It Up (Fourth Update)

Poor Meng Xian counted for almost an hour. Finally, with the help of a group of subordinates, he finally counted the money. The result was very embarrassing. Although it was not as much as Li Muyun said, it was still three hundred letters short .

Meng Xian looked at the purple-robed old man wanting to cry but without tears: "Yao, Master Yao, you, you must say a few words for my subordinates, my subordinates, my subordinates...".

The purple-robed old man's old face was already flushed red. At this time, he also realized that he had been fooled by that guy Li Muyun, but there was no way. The matter was already irreparable when Meng Xian took people to count the money. Now even if it is Immortal Da Luo is alive, and there is probably no way to save him.

……

That's it, even though Li Muyun spent a lot of time, he finally fulfilled his mission and took back his own money, a total of two thousand coins.

But even though he got the money, the matter was not over yet. Just when he was going to go back with the money, Li Shimin stopped him: "Xiaoyaohou, do you remember what you promised me back then?"

"What is it?" Li Muyun looked confused, he had promised Li Shimin so many things that he couldn't remember which one at the moment.

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Li Shimin didn't get angry, snorted and said, "Do you still remember telling me that the newly built palace wall is almost comparable to the city wall?"

"No, no. When did I say that?" Li Muyun blinked innocently: "I said at the time that the wall is very strong, even with..."

Before Li Muyun finished speaking, Li Er had already waved his hand: "Okay, don't talk about it, when I came out of the palace today, I happened to see that a section of the palace wall has been completed, let's try it and find out."

Dare the emperor not disclose the matter of gunpowder?Otherwise, why didn't he let himself say the word gunpowder, Li Muyun thought thoughtfully.

It's just that no matter what he thinks, there will be no change in the outcome of the matter. The great Tang Emperor has already led people to walk outside the Ministry of Civil Affairs, except for Jin Hou who passed by Meng Xian's side and glanced at him. Other than that, there is no stop at all.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for Li Muyun to leave alone, so he could only follow the urge to go home and count the money.

……

The palace wall that just removed the outer wooden box is gray and looks extremely ugly, but at this time, no one cares about it. Those external things are a big deal to go back and redecorate. The most important thing is to test the strength of the wall right now. of.

Of course, bows, crossbows, bed crossbows, these weapons and equipment for siege are indispensable, and Li Muyun even saw the trebuchet lying aside, he can understand all these, but what about the siege?That's exactly what is used to deal with city walls. How can it be used to deal with a wall that is only three feet thick? Is this bullshit?
But in the final analysis, he still has some people who are soft-spoken, and there is no room for him to speak at this time. A group of bigwigs crowded around Li Shimin have already pushed him to a distance of [-] miles, and there is no place to raise his opinion even if he wants to.

But there were a few old guys from the civil service department looking at him, with indescribably hateful smiles on their meaningful smiles.

"Come here, prepare your bow and arrow!" Just as Li Muyun and those old men were eyeing each other, someone shouted from afar.

But when he turned his head to look over, he found that dozens of long arrows had roared out, and then gently hit the concrete wall, leaving dozens of white spots behind, and there was a same "cracking" sound fell to the ground.

The person who gave the order had obviously estimated that the bow and arrow would be ineffective against the wall, and had no intention of sending anyone over to look at it. He only waited for the arrow to hit the ground, and immediately shouted: "Stand on the crossbow and get ready!"

After a tooth-piercing sound of "creaking", ten crossbows that could shoot hundreds of steps were hung up, and then there was only a sound of "boom", ten crossbow bolts whizzed out and hit the wall like lightning on top of the body, and then fell again, the concrete wall remained.

At this moment, someone's face began to change color. After all, if the previous palace wall was strong, there would be one or two sticks inserted into the wall. Although the insertion was not deep, it could still be hung.

But now the gray wall that appeared in front of their eyes was quite different. Not only was a single crossbow arrow not attached, but the damage caused was relatively no different from the bow and arrow just now, only a white spot was left on the wall .

The guy who gave the order just now seemed to be a little anxious, and before everyone recovered, he immediately shouted again: "The eight-ox crossbow is ready!"

The good show is finally about to begin. Listening to the sound of the Ba Niu crossbow being wound up bit by bit in the distance, all the veterans who were chatting just now stopped, and countless eyes looked in the direction of the Ba Niu crossbow.

There was no preparation, and there was no reminder. After the eight-ox crossbow was hung, two imperial guards walked up with a wooden hammer each, and slammed the mechanism on the crossbow.

It has to be said that the power of the eight-ox crossbow is indeed the most powerful crossbow that Li Muyun has seen in ancient times. The 'arrow' with an arm as thick as a foot and a length of one foot is not as direct as a gun, with a burst of screaming under the huge elastic force. The sound flashed past everyone's eyes, and then hit the wall with a 'bang'.

With a crisp sound of "click", just when everyone thought that the crossbow gun passed through the wall as before, the crossbow gun smashed in front of the concrete wall like its two predecessors, and even fell into the sand from the concrete wall. It was folded in two in the middle, and finally left a pit on the wall about two or three centimeters the size of a fist.

"This, this is impossible, how could it not be smashed in?"

"No, it won't be so strong, will it?"

"What kind of wall is this? Even Chang'an's outer city wall cannot be so strong."

A group of veterans who had fought in the war exploded in an instant, and one or two ran towards the wall, vowing to see what the wall was made of. How could it be so strong? The ox crossbow smashed its halberd and sank to the sand in front of it.

But the old guy Cheng Yaojin didn't go there, he was staring at his eyes that were about to burst into sparks, he walked quickly to Li Muyun's side, grabbed him and said, "Boy, go back in a while I will demolish the walls of my house, and you will bring someone there tomorrow morning, and make one for this old man in the same way."

In the end, before the embarrassed Li Muyun said anything, a voice came from a distance: "Fart, Mr. Cheng, everything has to be done first, and this old man has already made an agreement with Xiaoyaohou. I also repaired my husband's house first."
