Chapter 622: Staying in the capital and falling again
Yao Ge Bijia whispered:
"When and when will the Tang Dynasty be able to demonize the law? If you turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain, then wouldn't you be invincible in the world?"
"What kind of demon law? If there is really a demon law, why was it beaten to the foot of Chang'an City by An Lushan?"
Mo Yan refuted angrily, and suddenly realized that his voice was a little loud, so he deliberately suppressed his voice again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Uncle, don't be frightened by the Tang Dynasty, this is just a trick they played, in order not to intimidate us?"
Although the words are categorical, there is still some bottomlessness in my heart after all, because it is impossible to figure out for a while how the people of the Tang Dynasty razed the rammed earth like two hills to the ground.
However, the Shenwu Army did not stop there, and another army formation appeared on the school field, and the huge frame slowly advanced under the traction of the horses.
Many people recognized it at a glance, this is the stone cannon used by the Shenwu Army in the battle to relieve the siege of Chang'an, but it is much lower than the battle, and it looks much more refined.
Soon, about twenty stone cannons were fixed in the middle of the school grounds, and the projection direction was directed to the north, where there was an open flat field, and when you looked closely, it was filled with dense human-shaped planks.
The hundred officials who had just recovered from the horror began to talk to each other again, and Li Heng, the son of heaven, turned sideways and asked Qin Jin beside him.
"Qin Qing, if I guessed correctly, this is the real thing of the stone cannon, right?"
Qin Jin nodded happily.
"Your Majesty guessed right, this is a stone cannon after the transformation of the Shenwu Army, it is smaller in size, the power is not reduced, and it can project thunderbolts more safely, please cover your ears, there will be a loud noise next!"
Li Heng smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
"The soldiers can operate at close range, how can I be shocked by this loud noise? Such a sharp weapon can kill the enemy, and the loud noise is also a heavenly sound, I like to listen to it too late!"
Under the excitement, Li Heng's words also increased.
Not far away, Uncle and nephew Mo Yan Siluo also kept talking about the twenty stone cannons.
Mo Yan Siluo had never seen this thing, and felt that there were more and more tricks in the Shenwu Army, and he really didn't know how this kind of movable wooden frame could kill people!
A rapid drum beat suddenly sounded, followed by three sharp whistles.
In front of everyone's eyes, the swinging arms of the twenty stone cannons suddenly bounced away, and everyone only felt that twenty black shadows flew towards the humanoid plank array in the distance, and in an instant, explosions occurred one after another, and white gunpowder smoke rose up.
The Shenwu soldiers who operated the stone cannon were very skillful and swift, and they projected three rounds in a row at a very fast speed, and then began to put away the shelf, tied the stone cannon to the horse, and gradually stepped out of the school field.
At first, the people were a little puzzled, but in the middle of the performance, how could all the shelves be withdrawn? But as the white smoke in the distance to the north gradually dissipated, they were shocked to find that the human-shaped planks had long since broken into thousands of pieces, and none of them remained intact.
This time, Mo Yan Siluo stood still for a long time without saying a word. If the razing of the two rammed earth piles was a trick before, then the explosion of wooden planks actually happened. He asked himself if his eyes were not bad, and he would not look away.
Listening to the medicine, Ge Bijia muttered unconsciously:
"If, if the Tang Dynasty had such a sharp weapon, wouldn't tens of thousands of horses be wiped out in an instant?"
Mo Yan Luo also subconsciously said:
"No wonder Sun Xiaozhe's 200,000 Yan soldiers all fell under the city of Chang'an, if the Shenwu army can come up with this kind of weapon one day earlier, why did Luoyang fall, and why did Tongguan fall?"
He asked two questions in a row, but no one could answer him. And the one who reported this kind of thought, it was not just Mo Yan Siluo alone, the son of heaven Li Heng was sighing, if there was such a sharp weapon in hand, wouldn't the recovery of the Eastern Capital be just around the corner?
When Li Heng expressed to Qin Jin the idea of placing high hopes on this sharp weapon, Qin Jin smiled bitterly:
"Stone cannons and thunderbolts are indeed powerful, but half of the power Your Majesty has seen is adulterated!"
"Adulterated?"
Li Hengzou frowned, his expression was puzzled and a little unhappy. However, he thought that since Qin Jin dared to say it, he must have a reason, so he quietly waited for an explanation.
Qin Jin Dao:
"The reason why the minister did this is, on the one hand, to show the people in Guanzhong, which can boost morale and people's hearts. On the other hand, it is also for the Hui and other foreign countries to see, so that they will give up the idea of non-separation. However, Your Majesty, please rest assured that although the power of this firearm is not as powerful as that seen just now, it is simply because it is not well made, as long as it is continuously improved, sooner or later, its power will be more than a hundred times more than a thousand times better than the present!"
If such words came from the mouth of others, Li Heng would only regard them as boastful, but Qin Jin had never said empty words, so he couldn't help but believe it a little. However, when I thought that the power could reach a hundred times and a thousand times that of the person in front of me, I couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in my heart, if there was really such a powerful weapon, what else in the world could not be destroyed?
"If it is a hundredfold and a thousand times this, wouldn't it kill a million people a day? It is really a militaristic weapon, but I don't want to see such a terrible thing one day, God has the virtue of a good life, I only hope that all the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and multiply!"
Qin Jin said in his heart, if we talk about the powerful weapons in the future, how can they be more than a hundred times and a thousand times? The nuclear weapons of the later generations will be more than enough to destroy the entire earth, but even if these things are spoken, it will be difficult to understand them with the knowledge reserves of the people of the world.
"Your Majesty is benevolent, the minister is full of admiration, and what the minister thinks in his heart is only to hate not to kill all the traitors and make it difficult to make it difficult to cause trouble again!"
The focus of the whole grand view of the army was all on the performance of the thunderbolt cannon, which can be said to have received a far more than expected effect, the hundred officials were excited about it, and the time of the state was terrified, even Li Heng, the son of heaven who knew the inside story, although he was not as excited as his subordinates, but he also had a very optimistic attitude towards the future in his heart.
The protagonists of this Daguan Army are not only the Shenwu Army, but also Li Siye's Anxi Army, and the Jiannan Border Army from Shuzhong.
The 5,000 elite cavalry of the Anxi Army is completely the traditional elite appearance of the Tang Dynasty, and as soon as it appeared, people felt that this was a veteran of a hundred battles who had been through the wind and sand for a long time, and its innate murderous spirit was by no means comparable to those recruits. After all, seven or eight out of ten of the troops around Chang'an City are newly recruited. In terms of the length of time he has been in the army, it is difficult to compare even the Shenwu Army, which has only been in the army for two years.
"The Tang army is mighty, the Tang army is mighty!"
The traditional slogan immediately resounded over the school field, and 5,000 mouths spoke in unison, which immediately aroused the excitement of the officials at all levels, and they all chanted might. This makes the atmosphere of watching the army today once again pushed to the **, the imperial court has such a strong army, and the morale of the army is like a rainbow, which one dares to say that the imperial court is just entrenched in the pass to make a last-breathing move?
All kinds of rumors will be self-defeating after today's big view of the army!
Li Siye and Duan Xiushi had been received by Li Heng, the Son of Heaven, three days ago, and Li Heng was very satisfied with them, and the fact that these two generals were able to rush back from the Western Regions thousands of miles shows their sincerity.
When asked about the situation of Liang Zai, the ambassador of Anxi Jiedu, although Li and Duan tried their best to cover it up, Li Heng could still see that this person had the intention of waiting and seeing, and should not approve of sending troops.
Although Li Heng is a kind person, it does not mean that he can be deceived by others, and many world conditions have long been insightful.
Therefore, in the contrast of cool people, he cherishes those who are willing to send charcoal in the snow and help at critical moments.
The Daguan army ended successfully, the hundred officials dispersed, the people dispersed, and the originally lively school field was deserted, but Li Heng was not in a hurry to leave. Behind him, Fang Xuan, Qin Jin, Guo Ziyi, Li Siye and other military generals of Wenchen visited the forbidden garden barracks on foot.
He wanted to see the true power of the thunderbolt.
"Qin Qing, can you demonstrate the thunderbolt again?"
Although he didn't say it explicitly, how could Qin Jin not know that Li Heng wanted to see the true power of the thunderbolt cannon!
"As Your Majesty wishes!"
This time, however, he didn't play with the void again, nor did he use the stone cannon to fire, but simply buried the three thunderbolts in the mound and lit the fuse with a torch.
With a bang, the mound of soil was immediately blown apart, and Li Heng was stunned again, unexpectedly even if he didn't cheat, this power was amazingly urgent.
When Li Heng asked how the soldiers were cheating, Qin Jin smiled.
"It's a fraud, but it's not a lie. For example, in the drill of the stone cannon, the minister had already instructed the people to bury hundreds of thunderbolt cannons in the wooden plank array, and the power was naturally extremely shocking!"
Li Heng was stunned when he heard this, and he also laughed, he didn't expect that it was such a fake method, and in the final analysis, it was not completely fake, after all, the power of the explosion was genuine.
As a result, Li Heng is even more hopeful for the future.
"Now Qin Qing might as well tell me about the military affairs that he didn't report before!"
Fang Xuan and Cui Lian, who were following behind Li Heng, changed their faces from time to time, although they didn't know the inside story, they were also keenly aware that this must not be good news, otherwise wouldn't it be better to announce it in public during the big war?
"Your Majesty, the minister got the Hedong military report, Taiyuan was lost, and Zhang Fuchen, the superintendent, was martyred!"
Zhang Fuchen is a rare kind-hearted person among the eunuchs, and when he was in Chang'an, he was also quite kind to the suppressed Li Heng.
Therefore, Li Heng heard that Zhang Fuchen died in battle after the fall of Taiyuan City, and he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.
"Zhang Fuchen still has some family members, and he has a preferential pension. ā
It is inevitable that the imperial court will posthumously seal Zhang Fuchen, but this is all a false thing after all, and the important thing is to take care of his family from the favor, so as not to shed his blood in vain.
After hearing the news of the fall of Taiyuan, Prime Minister Fang Xuan's face was difficult to see the extreme, Taiyuan as the capital of the Tang Dynasty in the north, the significance is very important, and the fall at this time is definitely bad news!
