Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 556 This is the South Gate of Xingqing Mansion (fourth update)
Fear gradually appeared on the face.At this time, the voice of the chief culprit who caused this tragedy, Gao Zhang, rang out behind them.

"Have you seen it, if you do not follow the rules when making gunpowder, I am afraid that your end will be uglier than that hard boulder."

Everyone's eyes fell on the piece of bluestone that had been shattered into three big and small ones, and their heads frantically moved up and down.

At this time, everyone already understood that Zhuangyuan Gong was really not joking, but that if he made this thing carelessly, people would really die, and many people would die.

In order to ensure that Master Zhao Ji can be shocked and let him realize the destructive power of gunpowder or landmine weapons.

Gao Zhang did everything in line with the idea, so he simply made more and asked Yang Jian to buy more raw materials and come back to continue working.

As for the outer pot, it is simple. One is to use oiled paper inside and linen outside to make explosive packaging.

There is also a throwing grenade that asked Kaifeng Metal Workshop to make a small iron can with a surface similar to a pineapple, installed on a bamboo tube, and let the lead wire protrude from the bamboo tube.

And inside this iron pot, there are also many small iron pellets mixed in. It couldn't be easier for Kaifeng Metal Workshop to make that stuff.

In addition, a clay pot similar in size to the liar named Lin was used, which was also filled with gunpowder, and a small amount of iron beads covered the upper part of the pot.

With this clay pot that can hold more than two catties of gunpowder, its power may not be inferior to the grenades of later generations.

The official family finally received Xiao Gao's invitation to appreciate the power of the landmines. The official family who failed to see it that day of course left the palace in disguise at the first time.

Arriving at the gate of the city, Gao Zhang has been waiting here with Yang Duzhi, the Secretary of the Imperial City, for a long time.

After the officials let Gao Zhang get into the car, they ordered to continue driving, and then asked Gao Zhang why he wanted to put the test site outside the city instead of directly in the city.

"Master, the landmines produced by this disciple according to Daoist Peng's formula are really too powerful. If they are cast in the city, it may cause unnecessary riots and troubles."

"In addition, the disciple hoped that the master could appreciate the power of the mine breaking the city with his own eyes, so he discussed with Yang Duzhi and decided to build a section of the city wall in a remote place outside the city for a test."

After hearing Gao Zhang's explanation, the official Zhao Ji became more and more looking forward to it.

#####
The carriage was more than twenty miles away from the city, and then it stopped. When the official got off the carriage, he saw a high wall not far away.

Moreover, this high wall is somewhat similar to a city gate, and on the city gate, there seems to be a large stone inlaid with writing on it.

This made Zhao Ji, the official, very surprised, and walked forward quickly.

Gao Zhang saw that the master didn't ask any questions, and he didn't bother to say anything, so he went straight away.

After a short time, he arrived at the gate of the city.

This wall, together with the city gate, is about twenty feet long and three feet high. The thickness of the wall base is more than two feet, and the top width is only about one foot.

When the official Zhao Ji stood in front of this section of the city wall and stared fixedly at the stone slab inlaid above the city gate, he froze on the spot for an instant.

He saw clearly that the three large characters carved on that stone slab were "Xingqing Mansion" in official script.

"This..." Until this time, the official Zhao Ji turned his head to look at his beloved disciple Gao Zhang.

Gao Zhang saluted his master respectfully, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Master, this city wall and this city gate are all built according to the south gate of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xixia Kingdom, no matter in terms of specifications or length and width..."

"It's just that the time is too tight, and the disciple wants to let Master see the power of the mines as soon as possible, so the tower on the city gate..."

"You, you have done a good job in this way, thanks to your heart.

Next, as a teacher, I just want to see the gate of Xingqing Mansion collapse with my own eyes, can you do it? "

Seeing Master Zhao Ji's earnest eyes, Gao Zhang generously accepted the order.

"Master, don't worry, this disciple will definitely be able to bury the Xingqing Mansion, together with the so-called Xixia, under the dust."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." The official Zhao Ji patted Gao Zhang on the shoulder, and then accompanied by Gao Zhang, he came to the side not far away.

The official Zhao Ji saw the pottery pot that was found in Zhaoying Palace in Yuqing that day.

Around the pottery pot, there are several standing haystacks with iron armor hanging on the haystacks, and the same arrangement is not far away.

After listening to Gao Zhang's explanation, the official Zhao Ji also understood Gao Zhang's intention.

It is to use these haystacks and iron armors of different distances to test the mines of the liar, and the mines made by Gao Zhang, which one is more powerful.

"Master, please also plug your ears with cotton, and let's stand a little further away to prevent the explosion from hurting people."

After Gao Zhang commanded the officials and others to leave about [-] feet away, a detective from the Imperial City Division ran over quickly, lit the fuse and ran away.

After Gao Zhang silently counted to ten, everyone saw a ball of fire, and then there was a loud roar.

Before the gunpowder smoke cleared, Gao Zhang raised his hand again to signal. At this time, the official Zhao Ji saw the fire starter who ran away just now appear again, lit another clay pot, and then left quickly again.

The official Zhao Ji saw a flame, and then a huge roar exploded.

This made him frown. He could clearly feel that the sound of the second explosion was far above the first explosion.

When the group of them came to the explosion point, they became more and more aware of the gap between the two explosions.

The range affected by the first explosion is much smaller than that of the second explosion.

Moreover, the iron-clad haystacks a little farther away stood in place as firmly as Mount Tai.

As for all the haystack armor around the explosion point of the second explosion, they were all overturned to the ground.

After seeing these truths with his own eyes, the official Zhao Ji became more and more looking forward to how Xiao Gao would blow up the south gate of Xingqing Mansion.

This time, Gao Zhang didn't dare to let the master stand on the open space to appreciate it, but asked him to go to the observation post behind to appreciate it.

It was built with an earthen wall nearly ten feet thick, and heavy wood was used to build it. Even if a huge boulder weighing a thousand catties flew over, it would be difficult to make it collapse.

And between the wooden roof and the soil, there is a gap about a foot wide. This is an observation post for enjoying the explosion scene of the city wall a hundred steps away.

"Xiao Gao, you still have to hide in such a place from such a long distance. How powerful is the mine that can blow up that section of the city wall?"
