The wounded soldiers in the house were impassioned, and even a few young and strong young men came to ask Fu Nianjun for their lives to contribute to the defense of the city, Fu Nianjun did not agree, but said:

"If you have an old mother, wife and daughter in your family, you must not ignore your family at will. ”

There were a few more homeless thugs, who used to be gossiping in the crowd, but now she didn't dare to send them to the city casually, so she only called the temporary garrison and told them:

"After this hurdle, you have to think about whether you are willing to join the army and serve the country. ”

And the "Drilling Snake", who was used to being a deserter when he was young, even appeared in front of Fu Nianjun and said to her: "Madam, I have been a deserter all my life, and I don't talk about eating and drinking spicy food in the city of Dunzhou, but I have also enjoyed peace for so many years, I am so old, and now I want to be a hero again, do you think it will work?"

In the end, everyone in the room does the same thing.

Fu Nianjun looked at him and smiled, just said, "Thank you......"

Hearing her thanks, the burrowing snake suddenly had a surge of pride in his chest, and said: "Madam, you are not from Yanzhou, and you are willing to live and die with it, how can we lose to you." ”

Fu Nianjun corrected him:

"There is only life together, not death together. ”

Fu Nianjun became the commander of the entire rear in one fell swoop, and now almost everyone is staring at her, as if what she says, no matter what, can be convincing.

She suddenly thought of something, and took the time to ask Lang Zhonghe and the military doctor:

"I don't know if you know, are there any tribulus terrestris in the city now?"

Everyone thought it was very strange: "Madame, does she know medicine, what do you want to do with tribulus terrestris?"

Tribulus terrestris is mildly toxic and is also used medicinally, but it is uncommon.

Fu Nianjun's eyes lit up, listening to what they meant, there must be something in the city.

She immediately ordered the two half-grown sons who pestered her to fight for war, and told them to find all the thistles in the city.

"This is also a big event, and if you do it well, you must also remember the military merits. ”

Hot-blooded teenagers can be very encouraged by such words.

Fu Nianjun sighed.

She herself knows that the military spirit and the people's heart are only a part, even if all the backbone and blood of the soldiers and civilians in the city are stimulated, they are not the Han Dynasty soldiers in the story, this is a gap that cannot be changed.

She had the idea of making weapons on the fly, but it was too late to know what to do, so she could only ponder a crooked way.

She had just seen the medicine used by the military doctors, and suddenly she thought of such one.

If you can do it or not, you have to give it a try.

……

The offensive of the Tangut people at night did not weaken in the slightest, and Qi Zhaoruo and the others did not even have time to eat.

"Cheer up! The Xixia people are just bluffing, their baggage can't keep up at all, everyone will survive tonight!"

He also had to shout two words like this from time to time to boost morale.

He himself knows that if this is the case, I am afraid that he will have to shout for another two days.

Suddenly, Qi Zhaoruo was pulled back to his senses by a loud roar from Zhang Xuan.

"What the fuck is this?!"

Qi Zhaoruo approached the city wall, squinted his eyes and looked in front of the Xixia people's formation, and was also completely stunned.

In front of the Xixia people's formation, there is a thing that is narrow in front and thick in the back, and the long tube is shaped like a tube, which seems to be a weapon, and it is all blue-green, probably made of copper, which is very solid.

"It looks like a catapult, but it's not like it, Brother Qi, have you seen it?"

Zhang Zhaozhi couldn't help but ask Qi Zhaoruo.

Qi Zhaoruo was chilling, how could he not know.

It's artillery!

Thirty years ago now, what should not have appeared here at all, the Tangut people actually had it in advance!

"Quick! go...... Go and invite her!"

This she, self-evident, is Fu Nianjun.

Qi Zhaoruo's look and tone made Zhang Zhaozhi stunned.

"Is this thing so scary?"

Zhang Chanzhi muttered in his heart, and couldn't help asking.

Before Qi Zhaoruo could answer, the Tanguts on the opposite side had already set up artillery and were heading towards the city wall.

This cannon is not quite the same as what Qi Zhaoruo has ever seen, it should be said that it is an unfinished thing, the barrel cannot be raised too much, it can only be towards the bottom of the city wall.

The defenders of the city were originally relieved to see that the Western Xia people had temporarily retreated, but who knew that they had sacrificed such a thing.

Everyone was stunned.

I saw the Xixia man next to him retreat a few feet, and a person fiddled in the back seat of the artillery, and then galloped away, and in the thick smoke, the big guy seemed to be alive, and there was a sound in the long pipe.

Zhang Zhanzhi also saw this thing for the first time, and he looked stupid.

Qi Zhaoruo was alert in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Squat down! Protect your head!"

Several people around him immediately squatted down with him.

Something slammed into the walls, and they shook three times under their feet.

Zhang Zhan Zhi stood up, his eyes widened, and said, "Good girl! ”

Qi Zhaoruo breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately......

Thankfully, it's just that, and it's an unfinished piece of artillery.

Moreover, the smoke was billowing from the Tanguts on the other side, and the shadow of the artillery was obscured, and it seemed that they themselves were not able to use this weapon proficiently.

Qi Zhaoruo explained a few words to Zhang Zhan, and immediately turned around and went down the city tower.

Fu Nianjun has already arrived.

"What's going on, what's going on just now?"

Qi Zhaoruo stared at her eyes and said word by word: "The Xixia people moved out something that looks very similar...... Artillery thirty years later. ”

Fu Nianjun was surprised, but only once.

"You take me to see it first. ”

Qi Zhaoruo hesitated, but still took her up to the city tower, and at this time, the Western Xia people were preparing the second shell.

Fu Nianjun was silent when he saw this artillery.

Undoubtedly, this thing must have been handed over by Zhou Shaoyong to the Xixia people, which shows that Fu Nianjun's previous speculation had a result that was wrong, in her dream, after the "Qi Zhaoruo" and Zhou Shaoyong rebelled, Zhou Shaoyong was not killed, but did not know how to live for many more years, so he had seen artillery, maybe he was very far-sighted, and he was sure that this thing would have great lethality and become the overlord on the battlefield in the future.

And after he was reborn as Zhou Shaoyong in this life, with Zhou Zhao's foundation, there are rich people, and he must have begun to study this invincible treasure on the battlefield.

But apparently he didn't live long in the first life, and the artillery he saw was only a rudimentary form.

So the current one, although it has his own improvements, is not like the four.

Fu Nianjun and Qi Zhaoruo both understood that the reason why the artillery was so powerful was because of the assistance of one thing-

Gunpowder.

The preparation of this thing is far beyond the reach of a layman like them, obviously, the Tanguts have not yet mastered it, otherwise, their cannon will not be just an iron projectile.
