"It's time for us to play... Everyone cheered me up, I don't want to disappoint Your Highness in our first battle. ”

The shouting was the new battalion general of the explosives battalion.

Lian Zhuang has a talent for explosives... Lian Zhuang used to be a medicine boy of a Taoist priest, but in fact, in ancient times, the first person to come into contact with such substances as gunpowder was either someone else or a Taoist priest.

Because these Taoist priests want to alchemy, why do they want to make alchemy, fundamentally speaking, it is because of Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, and felt that he was indeed the son of heaven, but he was old, and the six countries that had just been unified were not blessed to enjoy, so in his later years, he ordered Xu Fu to go to sea to find the elixir and wanted to live forever, so this has also become one of the reasons why the emperors of later generations are obsessed with immortality, and it is also the germ of the ancient elixir.

During the Tang Dynasty, due to the hard work of the previous emperors, the Tang Dynasty was relatively prosperous and enlightened on the whole, so these emperors felt that the prosperous era was peaceful, and they also wanted to hold on to power, so they pinned their hopes on the pills.

It can be said that there were 21 emperors in the Tang Dynasty, and at least half of the emperors were obsessed with pills, and among these 21 emperors, 6 emperors were poisoned by pills, they were Taizong, Gaozong, Xianzong, Muzong, Wuzong, and Xuanzong.

Tang Taizong is a rare wise monarch, but in his later years he was obsessed with pills, in addition to the pursuit of immortality, as if this is a genetic disease in the Tang Dynasty royal family, called "wind disease", and the historical records clearly record that the people suffering from this disease are Gaozu, Taizong, Gaozong, Shunzong, Muzong, Wenzong, Xuanzong, in fact, this kind of wind disease is now a stroke, the onset is acute, the mortality rate is high, often left sequelae, it is difficult to cure.

So these emperors pinned their trust on alchemy, but they didn't expect to end their lives early!

This alchemy technique mainly originated from Ge Hong, and by the time of the Tang Dynasty, many alchemists had made alchemy based on Ge Hong's alchemy, and they believed in it. It is mainly made of some natural minerals such as sand, sulfur, mercury and other raw materials, and is made by smelting in the furnace.

Legend has it that if you take the pill, you will not be invaded by all diseases and will live forever. So not only did he not live forever, but poisoned the 6 emperors of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Gaozong was one of the victims, and it was precisely because Tang Gaozong was not in good health that he couldn't see clearly with his eyes when he ate, so he asked Wu Zetian to act as the government.

There are also two emperors who are Song Huizong Zhao Ji and Ming Shizong Jiajing, these two emperors are also very obsessed with pills and were also poisoned.

Because of alchemy, gunpowder was invented, it is reported that gunpowder was first invented in the Warring States Period, when it was mainly alchemists who refined the elixir for Qin Shi Huang, but accidentally discovered that the elixir would explode!

When Li Zhan was preparing to build and make gunpowder, he went to the Taoist temple in large quantities, and found a lot of things that Li Zhan needed for alchemy and had already made in the Taoist temple.

Lian Zhuang, who was originally an alchemist, actually cried and shouted to follow Li Zhan, Li Zhan asked him why he wanted to follow him, and Lian Zhuang told Li Zhan that he could know how to store these flammable and explosive things.

This time, Li Zhan was moved.

You must know that these things for making gunpowder, if they are not stored well, are indeed very dangerous, although Li Zhan knows the general storage method, but now there is a ready-made person who knows how to store, and it is not better for him to store it.

So when Li Zhan was in the end, he took Lian Zhuang down.

To Li Zhan's surprise, this little Taoist boy is really very smart, although he is only sixteen years old, but he is definitely more familiar with gunpowder than Li Zhan, with his help, Li Zhan's explosives battalion slowly built a prototype.

Later, Li Zhan directly appointed Lian Zhuang as the battalion commander of the explosives battalion, becoming the youngest battalion general in the Tiger Ben Army.

After Lian Zhuang finished shouting, all the soldiers of the explosives battalion immediately replied: "Okay...!" ”

Under the handling of these soldiers, stacks of explosives were pushed out, and these explosives bags were all imitated by our country during the Anti-Japanese War, when the conditions were the most difficult.

At that time, the folk still retained a large number of traditional handmade gunpowder technology, and the gunpowder ratio of "one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal" was almost common knowledge known to women and children.

Gunpowder and explosives are the most basic materials to support a modern army in combat. The modern military revolution revolved almost exclusively around the use of gunpowder weapons. Therefore, our country relied on folk firecracker craftsmen to start.

At that time, many of the rebels in our country were peasants armed with earthen guns and cannons, and the propellant used was black powder.

Taking the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area as an example, as early as the early days, China set up a small arsenal and ammunition factory in the local area, and the black powder was dug by the common people and mixed with cotton ash to dissolve it to obtain extremely impure potassium nitrate.

With the establishment and development of the base area, the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Military Commission Arsenal was established, which consisted of one general plant and four branch factories, and the gun and ammunition workshop was responsible for the production of gunpowder, and the required saltpeter was obtained by the General Affairs Department of the factory and the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Revolutionary Military Committee through various channels.

Theoretically, black powder can be obtained by mixing the three raw materials of sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal in proportion.

However, in actual use, when black powder is used as a propellant, ignition powder and blasting charge, the ratio is slightly different, and the size of gunpowder particles also has different requirements.

Therefore, the arsenals at that time generally used stone mills to grind saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur obtained from various sources, and then the workers sifted them through sieves, and finally mixed them in large vats. Although such a process is simple, it is very dangerous, and there are records of military and industrial soldiers being injured as a result of this in various base areas.

Moreover, the lack of high-quality saltpeter in the base area at that time also greatly affected the effect of homemade black powder.

In order to solve this problem, in the most difficult period, the co-solution of saltpeter and plant ash to make potassium nitrate was resumed.

Other arsenals make their own nitrate by collecting floating soil from the corners of the walls.

The performance of the black powder obtained in this way is far inferior to that of the machine-made black powder smuggled directly from the national control area. But for our country, which persisted in the struggle under extremely harsh conditions, the problem of the source of ammunition was solved.

Li Zhan is much better than our ancestors, a word of order, you will get all the raw materials that Li Zhan needs, the explosives are quickly made, one by one the inner layer of oil paper is moisture-proof, and the outer kraft paper is tightly tied.

Although the power of these explosives is not comparable to the power of modern bombs, if there are people and animals within a radius of 50 meters, an explosive package will still be killed, and the destructive power is also amazing.

...............................

"Your Highness... The explosives battalion and the bed crossbow battalion are ready ... Please order your highness...! ”

The bed crossbow camp is the bed crossbow battalion, a battalion of five hundred people, five people a bed crossbow, a total of one hundred bed crossbows, the combination of the explosives battalion and the bed crossbow battalion, that is the largest long-range attack.

Li Zhan looked at Li Yi who came to report the news... Then he nodded slightly and said, "Pass me the order... Attack...! ”

After Li Zhan finished speaking, Li Yi got up and shouted: "Your Highness has an order, attack...!" ”

As soon as the words reached the front line, he heard Lian Zhuang excited, and then shouted: "Your Highness has an order, light the fire... Attack...! ”

"Whew...!" The ignition cord on the explosive package is ignited.

Then listen to "buzz", "buzz", "buzz", "buzz"... The sound of a bed crossbow bowstring.

At this time, Fu Shun in the ancient city of Tiebuga did not know that he was in great trouble, and at this time, Fu Shun thought that he could defend the ancient city of Tiebuga, why... Fu Shun would have such an idea, because the army brought by Li Zhan this time was only 10,000 people.

Know that the ancient city of Tebuga now had an army of 50,000 men.

According to the siege ratio in ancient times, if there are 50,000 people defending the city, you will have to attack at least six times that is, 300,000 people, and he will not confront you head-on, just defend the city, and he will be afraid of you?

Therefore, Fu Shun didn't even meet Li Zhan's request, and directly rejected Li Zhan, with obvious meaning, that is, he thought that Li Zhan couldn't get in.

It's just that this Fushun doesn't know that if Li Zhan doesn't have some support, he will take 10,000 people and come all the way to attack the ancient city of Tiebuga, speaking of which, this Fushun king is still too naïve.

"Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!" "Boom...!"

In the city and outside the ancient city of Tiebuga, a huge explosion sounded in turn, and this huge and sharp explosion made Fu Shun, who was hiding in the palace and enjoying himself, a horror.

"Someone... Come...! Two shouts.

I saw a guard walk in from the outside.

Fu Shun immediately asked, "What's wrong... What happened outside, why was there such a loud explosion, it couldn't be a ground dragon turning over, right? ”

"The King... It's not that the earth dragon turned over, according to the judgment of his subordinates, all the explosions came from in front of the city gate, and these explosions should have been made by the army of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Ahh Fu Shun asked in surprise, "What is it that can make such an earth-shaking sound?" ”

At this moment, what Fu Shun didn't expect was that another guard ran in quickly, and when he saw Fu Shun, he immediately knelt down and cried: "The king run... The east gate was lost, and there were heavy casualties.

The enemy didn't know what means he used, so he invited the divine thunder from the sky, and the rolling divine thunder directly blew up the east gate, and our soldiers, as long as they were blown up by the divine thunder, all the bones were gone.

Now the enemy has entered the ancient city of Tebuga... The enemy's hands all take this little divine thunder, and a small divine thunder is thrown out, and we will be blown up wherever we are.

Lord, go now... Otherwise, we will die at the hands of the divine thunder. ”

"Ahh Why... Why... Why can Datang invite Shenlei? Fu Shun shouted a little hoarsely.

It's just that this time is no longer the time to shout, I saw that the two guards who were kneeling immediately set up Fu Shun and began to flee to the palace, and when the three of them fled, there were continuous explosions behind them.

These explosions, mixed with screams, wails, screams, exhaustion... weaves the worst death music, making the fleeing Fu Shun's whole soul tremble.

Fu Shun didn't understand, didn't understand at all, why Datang had so many gods to protect him, why there were gods and thunders to punish him, what did he do wrong, he just didn't want others to oppress him, couldn't he do this, could he have been enslaved by Datang.

Fu Shun couldn't figure it out, but the more he couldn't figure it out, the more he thought about it, and when he thought about it, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he almost returned to heaven.

At the same time, the Tiger Army... has directly entered the palace of the ancient city of Tibuga, all the way, the explosive bag and grenade are really indestructible, the first is the siege, this explosive bag was shot into the city wall by the bed crossbow.

With an explosion, the walls can be blown open in half.

Those who did not enter the city walls, all the explosives that were shot into the city walls, became blooming in the city, and the sound of explosions, accompanied by screams and wails, was completely invincible.

Soon, a bed crossbow shot at the east gate, directly blasting the east gate open, and the Tiger Ben army then slaughtered the ancient city of Tiebuga.

At this time, Tuyuhun's soldiers are still quite powerful... Just when the Tiger Ben Army was about to rush into the ancient city of Tiebuga, these Tuyuhun soldiers formed a formation as soon as possible, waiting for the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army to charge the formation.

But what Tuyuhun's soldiers didn't expect was that just after they formed the formation.

The cavalry of the Tiger Army charged directly at them and threw grenades one by one, and then you will hear the sound of grenade explosions one by one, and instantly hesitate the explosion of grenades.

The Tiger Army passed through quickly, and those who were not killed were harvested by the sabers of the Tiger Army.

In this way, the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army slaughtered directly in front of the palace of the ancient city of Tiebuga without much effort.

From the beginning of the siege to the end of the siege, Li Zhan's Tiger Army only took less than an hour to directly kill Tuyuhun's 50,000 troops.

But more than that, it was the power of explosives and grenades, the terrible sound of explosions, and the great power that was the strongest means to destroy the will of Tuyuhun's 50,000 troops.

An hour later, after Li Zhan sat on the throne of the Tuyuhun Palace, the shadow took Gao Hu and Cheng Chumo... Waiting for someone to meet Li Zhan, followed Su Ningbao to bring good news, Fu Shun was captured, but now he has more breath and less inhalation, and it is estimated that he is going to die.

Li Zhan really didn't care too much about Fu Shun at this time, because Li Zhan cared about Hou Guangliang at this time.

Li Zhan's army attacked Tuyuhun, and Hou Guangliang's army attacked the combined army of Tubo and Tuyuhun, and the number of troops there was more than the defenders of Tuyuhun.

Of course, there are also troops on the Suzhou side, and Li Zhan has already given Hou Guangliang a warrant, as long as he arrives in Suzhou, he can use Li Zhan's token to gather the troops around Suzhou, and he can gather nearly 80,000 people.

There are 60,000 people in Tubo, 20,000 people in Tuyuhun, and 80,000 people on the other side, and Hou Guangliang has explosives and grenades in his hands, and it is a sneak attack, Li Zhan believes that Hou Guangliang has a chance to win this battle, although Li Zhan doesn't know how much, but he will definitely win.
