There is no way to know when gunpowder appeared, as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty or even the Western Han Dynasty, and later as late as the Sui and Tang dynasties.

But the use of this thing in warfare was first found in the Northern Song Dynasty Lu Zhen's "Nine Kingdoms Chronicles, Wu Chen, Zheng Fan's Biography": In the first year of Tang Zhaozong's Tianyou, Yang Xingmi besieged Yuzhang. ”

The Northern Song Dynasty official Xiu's "Wujing General Essentials" made a specific description of this weapon: "If you put a gunpowder arrow, add birch bark feathers, and burn it with gunpowder five taels after the arrowhead." ”

However, in Zhao Huan's opinion, these things are basically a monkey tied to an arrow, or the kind that can't explode, and they belong to the real way to solve the enemy by relying on people's faces.

But when Zhao Huan adjusted the specific ratio of gunpowder and added an iron shell with deep grooves to this thing, the nature of this thing became the most primitive grenade.

Growing up so big, Wanyan Zongwang, who can be regarded as well-informed, has seen gunpowder, and has also seen the so-called rainstorm pear flower gun of the Song people, but he has never seen this thing, and the horses under his command have not been blown up by this thing before.

It's been blown up now.

The official name of the eight-bull crossbow is the three-bow bed crossbow, the arrow is made of hard wood as the arrow shaft, and the iron piece is the feather, which is known as "one gun and three sword arrows", the bed crossbow can also fire the "stepping arrow", the arrow is like a javelin, and the close-range fire can be directly nailed into the city wall, and when the salvo is fired, the rows of pedal arrows are firmly nailed into the city wall, and the siege soldiers can climb up the edge by this.

That is to say, this kind of thing with a range of more than 1,500 meters can not only be used to defend the city, but also to attack the city, even if the city head of Bianjing is only equipped with a few hundred eight-bull crossbows, but the scene of hundreds of eight-bull crossbows firing a salvo is enough to be called a spectacular.

In particular, Zhao Huan also tied a hand grenade to the eight-bull crossbow.

The deafening explosions, the pungent smoke of gunpowder, and the explosive fragments of deadly bullet casings caused the Jin soldiers, who had just advanced not far to the city of Bianjing, to suffer heavy losses, and the formation began to become panicked.

Zhao Huan's face became a little better-looking, but the face of Wanyan Zongwang under the city was as ugly as if he had been fortunate by eighteen flowers.

Gunpowder is not unusual, Dajin Country also has this thing, but like this kind of good thing that can explode, and after the explosion, it can fly in fragments and hurt people, but Dajin Country does not have it.

What's even more terrifying is that the impact of this thing is almost fatal to the current war situation-

There are not many people who were killed directly by the explosion, and not many people were injured by fragments, but the number of people who were trampled to death by their frightened war horses was quite a lot!

Wu Xiaomin, who was following Wanyan Zongwang, was also frightened and turned pale, looking at the battlefield like Shura Field, and then looking at Wanyan Zongwang, whose face was gloomy like water, Wu Xiaomin finally pulled Wanyan Zongwang's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, retreat?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "How to withdraw from the army? At this time, the situation is stalemate, if the Song people go out of the city to fight, what should they do? If you dare to talk nonsense, you will not be spared! ”

After thinking about it, Wanyan Zongwang simply turned his head and instructed the herald again: "Tell the sons and daughters that this kind of thing is not easy to make, and there are not many in the hands of the Song people, otherwise it would have been used on us a long time ago."

Pass the order down, let the signing army in front, as long as you survive this catastrophe, it will be time to break the city, and then the gold, silver, jewelry and women in the city will be everyone's, and the prince will not take a penny! ”

Then Zhao Huan used the facts to explain to Wanyan Zongwang what it meant to be a big explosion.

Wanyan Zongwang thought very beautifully, if there was no Zhao Huan, a traverser, even if the Great Song Dynasty had primitive firearms such as palm thunder and thunderbolt cannons in his hands, there would not be too many of them in Bianjing City.

However, the crux of the problem is that although Zhao Huan has not crossed for a long time, although there are still a large number of pig teammates who are using their strength to interpret what it means to bring and not win, but no matter how difficult the start is, Zhao Huan is also the official family of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the very least, compared to the Dajin Kingdom, which is known as the Jurchen is less than 10,000 people, even if there are not tens of millions of people in Bianliang City in the Great Song Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people can be found casually, and a large part of these hundreds of thousands of people are literate or have skills, especially those students who are preparing for the imperial examination, as well as those miscellaneous community members, let these people go to the ordnance prison to help make gunpowder, the efficiency is simply terrifying.

Wanyan Zongwang thought that the palm thunder in Zhao Huan's hand was only enough to support a few rounds or dozens of rounds of salvos, but Zhao Huan on the head of the city could clearly tell Wanyan Zongwang that although the palm thunder in his hand was not much, it was enough for each of the horses surnamed Wan to enjoy one.

Later generations said that the rabbit's big bombing attribute was blown up by the thief eagle in Shangganling, but in fact, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Qin and Han dynasties, and then to the artillery and infantry before the Ming Dynasty was defeated, this kind of big bombing attribute has long been deeply rooted in the rabbit's bones, and after being blown up by the thief eagle, it is just an awakening of the genes inherited from the ancestors.

Anyway, for Zhao Huan, it is not clear what Van Vliet's ammunition is, but the number of grenades that can target the number of soldiers on the other side is the equivalent of the Great Song version of Qinzong.

The internal and external sections are called the Qin, and if it is not enough to say the Qin, the prestige is the Qin.

Save the original year's coins or something to make firearms is to use internal and external savings, after making firearms, it is too little is insufficient, and then use firearms to smash people's yards, after smashing is not all the prestige? No problem at all!

Therefore, after the entire arsenal and Guangbei siege work, Shaofu and those workshops that were actively or passively requisitioned in Bianjing City were fully started, Zhao Huan could completely rely on a good thing like a grenade to discuss with Yan Zongwang who was his father in the end.

The only thing that makes Zhao Huan secretly unhappy now is that he overestimated these pig teammates of the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning, so that he didn't get such a good thing as mines in the first place-

Even if the grenade with the infinite extension of the lead is regarded as a mine, anyway, the surname Wan and the horses he brought have never seen it, as long as they bury this thing under Bianjing City, and when they come, they will directly ignite it......

Even so, the current situation is enough for Yan Zongwang's eggs.

Casualties are getting worse.

The continuous sound of explosions made the entire Jin soldiers' military formation more and more chaotic, and the captured people and the signed army, who were used as cannon fodder by Wanyan Zongwang and had no discipline at all, soon shocked the main army to a mess, and even the Tiefu Tu, which had been covered in the past, began to be chaotic.

Wanyan Zongwang looked sideways at Wu Xiaomin, whose face was pale, and began to secretly hate Wu Xiaomin, a sand sculpture, why didn't he persuade himself to withdraw from the army-

The people of the Song Dynasty and part of the signing army were getting closer and closer to the city of Bianjing, while the main army and Tiefutu who were following behind were still a long distance away from the city of Bianjing, and a clear dividing line had been blown up by the firearms on the city.

Obviously, whether it is the main army or the Tiefutu, they can't withstand this new firearm at all, those who should be injured will still be injured, and those who should be damned will die, especially the frightened war horses, and they are running wildly regardless of it, and the entire team sent to attack has obvious chaos.

What's even worse is that what happened next perfectly illustrates what it means to be blessed and unparalleled, and disasters are not singular.

Just like Mr. Ru Chun said, the house leak happened to be rainy, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.

Just when Wanyan Zongwang had begun to hesitate whether to withdraw from the army, the soldiers who stayed in Mutuogang sent someone over to tell Wanyan Zongwang a more painful news - the Seed Master Dao Department was like crazy to attack Mutuogang, and now the defenders are about to be unable to withstand it!

The city suffered heavy losses, and all the battle plans that were originally expected were disrupted because of the new grenades, even if the Song soldiers dared to go out of the city to fight at this moment, they were afraid that their own army would not be able to deal with it, and once they lost the grain and grass of Mu Huogang, they would immediately face a shortage of food.

Without grain and grass, it's okay to say about the 20,000 regular army, but the 50,000 itself is a miscellaneous signing army and those people.

In particular, the composition of the signing army itself is very complicated, and many of them are some strong Liang people in the weak Song Dynasty, because they saw the benefits, they followed themselves to take advantage of the fire to rob, if there is no benefit......

These people are likely to be the first to jump back.

In desperation, Wanyan Zongwang had no choice but to grit his teeth and ordered: "Retreat!" Return to the Master Mu Camel Gang! ”

……

The slightly dull sound of the horn resounded on the battlefield, and Zhao Huan and the horses under him at the head of the city naturally heard it clearly.

Li Gang, who had strongly persuaded Zhao Huan to defend Bianjing to the death, was even more excited at this time, and after a series of compliments, he continued to bow down and say: "The official family is mighty, and the golden thief's courage has been lost, please lead the troops to fight!" ”

It was not only Li Gang who invited the battle, but the guards at the head of the city all looked at Zhao Huan eagerly, bowed down and said, "Ministers, please lead the troops out of the city to kill the thieves!" ”

But Zhao Huan couldn't trust these pig teammates-

That's right, including Li Gang, the entire head of Bianjing City plus everyone in the entire court was regarded by Zhao Huan as a pig teammate.

It's a good thing to be anxious to fight, it is also a fact that Yan Zongwang's department suffered heavy casualties, and he had to retreat as a last resort, but when people retreated, the team slowly became neat, and the teams behind the mats that opened the road were arranged in an orderly manner, counting on the defenders on the city to pursue Yan Zongwang?

Don't be stupid, when the time comes, the pursuit will not succeed, and it will be true to give away people's heads!

But Zhao Huan didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity.

Now go out to do a shuttle with a surname, the risk is not small, but the benefit is definitely not small!
