After checking all the firearms, Li Xuan's face turned red with excitement, at this moment he no longer had the majesty of the emperor, but like a child who had received a novelty toy.

"Xue Ai, you have done a good job, and when the war is over, I will definitely reward you Refining Association heavily. Li Xuan wanted to pat Xue Buqi's shoulder, but he was not tall and couldn't reach Xue Buqi at all.

However, Xue Buqi himself was very discerning, and hurriedly bent down so that the emperor could pat himself on the shoulder.

"Your Majesty, if these firearms are put into battle, we will definitely be able to reverse the current decline. Xue Buqi said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to rule that we should send firearms to the battlefield there?"

The smile on Li Xuan's face gradually faded, and he regained his imperial temperament again, although he was young, he now had a bit of the demeanor of an emperor, and his appearance with a straight face was really a little scary.

The surrounding officials did not speak, quietly waiting for the emperor's ruling.

After a while, Li Xuan said, "Send it to the southern border to Lu Tiansuo, they need these things even more." ”

Xue Buqi suddenly raised his head: "Your Majesty ......"

"I know what Aiqing wants to say. Li Xuan said, "The pressure on the academy should be greater than that of Lu Tiansuo, after all, they are facing a stronger temple alliance. But I believe in the academy, and I believe in General Zhou and his teacher, and they will definitely be able to resist the attack of the temple. But Lu Tiansuo is different, Qi is second only to my Tang Dynasty in national strength, and Lu Tianshuo's troops are less than 30,000, and the weapon configuration is also quite ordinary, I heard that the weapons in the hands of many soldiers are dung forks, hoes and sickles. It's too hard for them to use these things to compete with the enemy's steel spears. ”

Xue Buqi sighed, what His Majesty said was indeed not wrong, but as long as he thought of the pressure on the academy, he would still feel sad.

"At dawn tomorrow, I will use these powerful firearms to fight a bloody way from the south gate, and by the way, I will also let those soldiers of Chu and Zhao have a long experience. Li Xuan said: "Xue Aiqing, the workshop still has to continue forging firearms, and strive to get another batch in a short time, so that it can support the academy." ”

Xue Buqi bowed and saluted: "The minister receives the order." ”

Li Xuan turned around, "Let's go back to the palace." ”

The eunuch nodded and led Li Xuan out of the refining workshop.

After getting on the dragon chariot, Li Xuan's face changed again, and his eyes were even full of tears, "General Zhou, teacher, please hold on for a few more days, and when the second batch of firearms is forged, I will leave to deliver the firearms to you." Please hold on for a few more days, please. ”

......

He Yunyi fell on the soft collapse in a drunken daze, and the corners of the camp tent were already full of empty wine vats, and the whole camp tent was filled with a pungent smell of wine.

This is the eighth day of the siege.

In the past eight days, they have not tried to attack the city, but the wall of Chang'an City is unbreakable, and no siege weapon can cause damage to the city wall of Chang'an, not to mention forcibly climbing the city wall, the defenders of Chang'an City only need to stand on the city wall and pour boiling oil down, they can crack the offensive of climbing the wall.

What's more, the protective array of Chang'an City is still there!

Even if it hits in, it's useless, as long as the city protection array is opened, all the soldiers under his command will be buried in Chang'an City in an instant.

There are only two people in the entire Great Wilderness who can break the Great Array of City Protection, one is Ziwei Venerable, but he has been abolished. The other is the Zhiyue Guanguan Lord Yue Jingyu, but Yue Jingyu and the temple alliance army have not been able to arrive in Chang'an City for a long time.

If it drags on like this, it will take as little as three days or as long as five days, and the army will have to retreat.

Because the grass is running out.

What He Yunyi drank just now was the last jar of wine!

He originally thought that victory was within reach, but now he found out that the so-called siege was not Chang'an, not Datang, but themselves.

"Report! General Qiyu, General Lian asks to see you. The voice of a soldier was heard outside the tent.

He Yunyi burped and sat up slowly, "Please General Lian come in." ”

The curtain was lifted, and Lian Boyu, who was dressed in military uniform, strode in, and immediately frowned: "General He, it's not good to be greedy for a cup." ”

He Yunyi laughed: "Then General Lao Lian told Zaixia, what else can I do besides drinking? Hahahaha, my soldiers no longer have the courage, the previous few forced sieges of the city, my Chu Nan'er killed and injured nearly 5,000! ”

Lian Boyu said: "General He, Chang'an City is indeed not easy to fight, but it doesn't mean that we have to wait here and drink to live." ”

"Come on, come on, tell me, what can we do?" He Yunyi reached out to the old wine jar, and after shaking it, there was no sound inside.

"Go to the temple. Lian Boyu said: "We miscalculated the strength of the academy, originally thought that under the leadership of Lord Yue Guan, the temple coalition army would be able to crush it with a devastating attitude, and then take Chang'an City in one go. Who would have thought that a mere academy would be able to block the temple coalition for so many days. Since the temple can't be passed, then let's go! As long as the Lord comes to Chang'an City, the great array of city protection will definitely be broken. At that time, it will be easy to destroy the Tang Dynasty. ”

He Yunyi stood up with the table, walked in front of Lian Boyu, and patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "General Lian's plan is very good, not bad, we should indeed go to the Divine Temple." If we outflank us from the rear, no matter how strong the academy is, it will not be able to block our attack from both sides, right?"

Lian Boyu slapped He Yunyi's hand away with some disgust, "Since General He agrees with my attention, then we will each send out a team and set off tomorrow." ”

He Yunyi nodded: "Okay, I will definitely send the most elite team to welcome the arrival of the temple." ”

"Farewell. Lian Boyu hugged his fists and turned around to leave.

At this moment, an earth-shattering roar was heard outside.

directly woke up He Yunyi's wine.

"What's going on!" Lian Boyu rushed out of the tent and asked loudly.

The soldiers outside the tent were also confused, and in the face of Lian Boyu's questioning, the soldiers didn't know what to say.

"Waste. Lian Boyu scolded and strode towards his camp.

He Yunyi also followed out of the tent, and just as the second roar sounded, accompanied by a fire that rose to the sky.

"What's that?" He Yunyi had never seen such a battle, and the shock in his heart was like a storm crashing on the shore, wave after wave. "What are you still doing, go over and find out what's going on!"

Only then did the soldier come to his senses and run.

He Yunyi returned to the camp tent, changed into armor as quickly as possible, grabbed the blade on the table, and walked out fully armed.

The roar continued to sound, and the sky-high fire never stopped, and He Yunyi could feel the heat wave from such a distance.

The shock in his heart was also spreading continuously, and this kind of unprecedented event made He Yunyi afraid.

At this time, the soldiers in front also brought back the latest news.

"General Qiyu, the defenders of Chang'an are organizing manpower to break through. ”

"Where are they going?"

"Looking at the direction, I am preparing to go to the south, and I should be going to support Lu Tiansuo's troops. ”

He Yunyi said: "How many people have broken through?"

"There were not many people, but there were a lot of baggage to carry. "At the same time, they used some weapons that we had never seen before, and the previous movement was caused by those pipes." It seems that they can breathe fire just by igniting the end of the pipe, and then inflict widespread damage. ”

He Yunyi was dumbfounded when he heard it directly, "The fire-breathing pipe?" are you sure you are not mistaken. What kind of weapon is this? It's been seen before. ”

The soldier shook his head: "Unheard of, General, it should be the secret weapon of the Tang Dynasty." ”

At this moment, He Yunyi finally showed the decision-making power that a commander should have: "No matter what they use, they must stop this small force for me, and they must not be allowed to go to the south to support Lu Tiansuo." If they don't come out, they will have to pay the price for their recklessness! Give me an order to stop them at any cost, and don't go quickly. ”

"Yes!" the soldier ran away with the order.

He Yunyi looked around, found a commanding height, and looked into the distance.

He is also a martial arts powerhouse, with excellent eyesight, even if he is a little far away, he can see the movement of the south gate clearly.

The number of troops coming out of the city was about two hundred, and they stood in a zigzag manner, with a hundred men inside escorting the goods, and a hundred men outside holding the tubular weapons mentioned by the soldier in their hands, and after a few moments the tubular tip would spark and inevitably take the life of a soldier.

In addition to this, the guards on the city walls are also supporting them.

The loud roar was made by the soldiers on the city walls.

The weapons they use are larger iron buckets, or iron pipes, and every time a spark is spewed, a red cloud rises on the ground, and at the same time, a large number of soldiers will be swept into the air by this red cloud, the nearest will be shattered, and the farther ones will be blown to death.

After observing for a while, He Yunyi could probably determine that only by being more than six zhang away from those many red clouds could he barely save his life!

The range of six zhang!

He Yunyi was completely dumbfounded.

This weapon is really terrifying, whether it is lethality or killing range, it is the strongest in the Great Wilderness at present, and there is no one.

If these weapons were aimed at their own camp, the consequences would be unimaginable.

What made He Yunyi feel even more desperate was that in the face of this new weapon, he had no way to deal with it.

I think Lian Boyu should be the same.

Is it really providence?

When victory was about to be within reach, the Datang side showed their sharpest fangs, which were bound to change the entire battle situation.
