The Empress’s Gigolo

"Your Majesty, please wait!" After exiting the city wall, Ren Baichi trot ran to the city palace to captivate his spear, took another box out of the city palace, and let the guard help him to return to the city wall.

The emperor and Li Qianqiu waited under the guard of a flying ride, and when they saw the guard carrying the box behind Ren Qianqian, they all guessed what was in the box.

Ren Baqian asked the guard to open the box, exposing rows of black round tubes.

Not big, but one palm long, about an inch in diameter.

"Renfu, what is this?" Li Qianqiu asked with a curiosity in his hands.

"Dynamite!" Ren Baqian smiled.

This batch of explosives was obtained at the place where he bought the guns on the earth. It was divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers were 300 grams of TNT explosives, and the outer part was gunpowder, which was ignited by fire. The TNT was detonated when the gunpowder exploded.

Originally, this thing was ready to be used for mining, and a full 300 were prepared, and this box was half of it. The result was useless at all. I brought it with me when I came out of Lancheng this time.

"Explosives?" Li Qianqiu wondered.

The Empress did know a little bit about the explosives, but did not know how to use them.

"You'll know in a while." After Ren Baqian said, everyone went up to the city wall again.

Ren Baqian squatted and tied the explosives to several long arrows, and cut off the leads behind the explosives before raising his head to Li Qianqiu, "Master, it will take you a while to find someone to shoot this at each other Below the Catapult.

"I'm coming!" Li Qianqiu refused.

In fact, the distance of 200 meters is almost the same for all the ancient soldiers who grew up hunting in the mountains.

But he also wanted to see what Ren Baqin had made.

Ren Yaqian prepared a total of twenty-two, and there were only twenty catapults scattered around Liaocheng by enemy forces.

After getting ready, Ren Baqian handed the bow and arrow to Li Qianqiu, before he could talk, the bone and arrow turned into a white line and pierced a trebuchet with a sharp breaking sound.

Ren Baqian: ...

Li Qianqiu looked forward, and asked after ten seconds: "Why didn't you respond?"

"It's not yet ignited ..." Ren Baqian said silently.

"Forget, forget!" Li Qianqiu laughed, and after holding a smile, she picked up a bone and arrow on the bow again.

Ren Baqian's ignited wooden bar ignited the lead and quickly said, "Okay, let it go!"

The lead is still ten centimeters long. It should be okay for a dozen seconds, but he is afraid that there is something wrong with the lead. In case of a fast gunner, it will be bad.

As his words fell, Li Qianqiu's fingers were released, and the bone arrow again struck a stone thrower with a sharp breaking sound again at a distance of 200 meters.

Then Li Qianqiu looked towards Ren Baqian to explore.

"Wait!" Ren Baqian looked in that direction with a telescope, and at this time he couldn't see whether the lead was still burning.

However, it didn't take long before the Da Xia Army suddenly made a loud sound of "Boom". With the sudden outbreak of fire, the Catapult became fragmented and flew everywhere, hitting the iron shield in front of the army formation Make a sound of collision.

And several soldiers who were loading ammunition around the trebuchet were directly blasted by the blast of air, and two of them were only a few broken corpses near them.

"Boom!" While the Da Xia Army was startled by this sudden change, the Da Xia Army exploded again. This time it was only the ignited dynamite tube that was blown into the Daxia Army array and exploded again. At least a dozen meters of soldiers around were blasted off by this explosion, and soldiers within a radius of five meters were directly blown up.

"Good thing!" Li Qianqiu sighed with joy when he saw this scene on the city wall.

"This box saves a lot of money and deals specifically with their siege equipment. Without the siege equipment, they must not be able to do anything other than the siege.

Consumed here, the food they need to consume is not a fraction. "Ren Baqian told him, he was terribly splurgeless.

"With this thing, how many people they have this time, they can only watch from below." Li Qianqiu laughed and patted Ren Baqian's shoulder.

He then asked several guards to take these bone arrows and perform them according to their methods.

After watching the explosions in the Da Xia Army Formation, these guards were careful, and immediately fired the bone and arrow, just because they were on fire, for fear of exploding in their own hands.

Every one or two minutes, you can see a group of fire burst in front of the Da Xia Army array, and a loud explosion sound comes from.

But for a moment, the six trebuchets in the east of Lancheng turned into a pile of broken wood, and then there were several explosions in the direction north of the city, and then the east of the city.

However, in a moment of effort, the Daxia Army's catapults were all turned into pieces of wood, with hundreds of soldiers killed by explosives or wounded by pieces of wood.

"Look at this thing for Lao Tzu, and keep it well. If there is any problem, you are asked." Li Qianqiu whispered to the guard behind him.

"Don't worry."

"Don't see open flames, don't bump into them. Be sure to store them carefully. Keep them in a cool, non-humid place. Remember to keep them away from the fire." Can't see the fire, but Da Yaoren always makes him a little uneasy.

If these things explode, it is estimated that a quarter of Liaocheng will have to be scrapped.

"Master, rest assured." The guard behind him arched.

This trebuchet was blown up, and Da Xia will probably have no other offense today. Li Qianqiu continued to inspect the city wall, and Ren Baqian returned to the city palace with the emperor.

"Your Majesty is a little thinner." Ren Baqian kept talking nonsense on the way back. The female emperor is not an ordinary person. Naturally, she does not become fat and thin as she eats more and eats less.

The empress was very useful, and gave him a slight glance.

The guards behind looked at the sky one by one, pretending not to hear anything.

...

In the north of Liaocheng, a large account in the camp behind tens of thousands of troops and a half-general general standing in front of the case were looking at the map above, and his fingers were drawn from time to time.

"Great general!" A middle-aged scribe-like man came in from the outside of the tent and arched.

In the account are the commander-in-chief of the 700,000 army heading south, the champion general, Wu Shenghou Jinling.

His popularity among the people in Daxia is far less than that of Hongwu in Dayao, and it is also because Daxia has not advanced in the south for seventy years. In fact, the prestige is very high in the court, and it can be said to be the top three in the army.

In just a few decades, a civilian has reached the rank of General Sanpin, and Wu Shenghou's status can be glimpsed.

He has been stationed at the border gate for more than 20 years and has been fully prepared for more than 20 years. Even in his dreams, he was thinking about how to attack Da Yao. Now that he can finally achieve his life's wishes, the war situation has so far met his expectations. Next, it depends on who is better on both sides.

"How is Lu Pinghai's injury now?" Wu Shenghou asked without looking up.

"Large general, Lu Pinghai's injury has recovered for less than half, and it will be inevitable in another month." The scribe arched.

"It's too late." Wu Shenghou whispered softly.

"A letter from Li Yuanzhu, she still disagrees," said the scribe again.

"As expected." Wu Shenghou was not surprised.

"Did Lu Zijian find it?"

"No news yet," the scribe continued. The second Lu Zijian in the world, the whereabouts have always been unpredictable.

As for Lin Xian, the number one in the world, there has been no trace for several years. Many people suspect that he is no longer alive or has broken the legendary boundary.

"Do you think Qi Zixiao will leave Liaocheng?" Wu Shenghou asked casually.

"Never! If she leaves Liaocheng, that is to throw tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Liaocheng, Qi Zixiao will never do such a thing. Unless it is a matter of life and death, she will not be able to leave as she is now dragging her. "The scribe said decisively.

Wu Shenghou nodded, just as he thought.

When she wanted to leave, she was afraid it was too late.

Wu Shenghou moved his finger from one point to another on the map, and finally pressed his finger on one of the points, where his target was.

There is not only a must-go for the direction of Lancheng and the northern capitals, but also a necessary place for the North-east capitals to return.

As long as this place is occupied, even if Qi Zixiao can escape back, he will throw away a large area of ​​fertile soil in the north ...

"Is there any news from Yun Guo?"

"They are still bickering." The scribe replied softly.

"Did they forget that they were almost destroyed by the barbarians?" Wu Shenghou sneered and sneered. "The guys full of business taste ..."

"Even without them, it is not impossible to win Dayao with the general's preparation for so long." The scribe immediately answered. "The city walls of Lancheng are only six meters thick. These trebuchets can smash Liaocheng."

You must know that the walls of Tie Suoguan, Shuncheng and Ziyue in the north are all 20 meters thick, of which Tie Suoguan even reaches 30 meters. And this Lancheng city wall is only six meters thick. As long as the trebuchet smashes a few more rounds, it will be able to smash the gap ~ www.readwn.com ~ It will not enter if it is broken! "Wu Shenghou said lightly.

In places like this in the city, the powerful personal strength of the ancients could be brought into play. He would rather consume the ancients near the city wall than let the soldiers enter the city and fight with the ancients. Those ancient civilians would probably cause them a lot of casualties.

Not to mention that there are flying rides inside.

However, if the wall is really broken, the thunder cannons developed can be of use.

Thinking of another artillery shell in his own hands, called Wanhua, Wu Shenghou thought that the Central Government should really give those artisans a great reward.

Just as the two were chatting here, they heard a few loud noises from the distance different from the huge stones hitting the wall.

"Which **** used a thunder cannon?" This explosion immediately made Wu Shenghou think of the vulcan artillery stored in the army and what were called thunder powder.

Wu Shenghou subsequently rejected this idea. He didn't order it. Who dares to use a thunder cannon?

As soon as I got out of the big account, I heard another loud noise in the direction of the front.

"boom!"

Wu Shenghou frowned. What happened? This was clearly the sound of a thunder cannon firing, but it was so loud that it sounded much louder.

Before he could figure it out, there were a few loud noises ahead.

"Come, go and see what's going on." Wu Shenghou said in a deep voice.

After a quarter of an hour, a general in iron armor returned to kneel and said on one knee: "General, I don't know how, there suddenly burst out a ball of fire from the trebuchet. The power was so great that the trebuchet was completely destroyed.

Another quarter of an hour later, someone was reported quickly in both directions, and the trebuchets in those two directions were also destroyed.

"What means did the barbarians use?" Wu Shenghou's face was ugly, and he did not expect that these barbarians had such unknown means.
