Chapter 107: Almost
Zhao Kuangyin was also glad, fortunately it was not smashed on his head, of course he was not afraid, but it was too disgusting.
asked people to treat Sun Fengji, who had fainted, he walked to the side of the waiter, asked him to put down the street sign in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
The street sign is the sign that often appears on TV when officials inspect the road, made of wood, and there is a deep hole in the wooden board on it, and only one tail of the thistle terrestris is exposed.
He turned back to look at the city gate and sighed, "It is really amazing to be able to pass through the three-inch-thick wooden gate and wedge this wooden sign into it." It's not going to blow up anymore, is it? ”
Huang Han was also afraid of this mistake, and hurriedly said: "This one only exploded once." ”
Zhao Kuangyin nodded and asked people to open the city gate.
Hundreds of ministers anxiously walked into the doorway one by one, only to see that there were dozens of small holes in the city gate, and the thistle terrestris could not be seen, and it was embedded in the wooden board.
Outside the city gate, almost all the houses in this area collapsed, and the location of the street entrance became a big pit.
And the sheep that did the experiment were almost all dead, and only the farthest one was left lying on the ground bleating, and he couldn't live when he saw it.
The worst thing is that a horse that is relatively close to each other should have been hit by the flying iron of the bomb shell, which directly split its body into two parts, and its intestines were blown everywhere.
This time, the culprit who scared Sun Fengji was found.
A large area of the street was dripping with blood, and the camel's eyes burst out, revealing two bloody holes.
In addition to the camels, most of the sheep also had their eyes bursting, which made everyone feel strange.
Huang Han explained: "According to the left-behind detainee, this is the power of the shock wave. In many cases, the people around the bomb were not killed, but shocked. ”
Zhao Kuangyin asked, "What is a shock wave?" ”
Thinking of Zhao Dezhao's explanation, he made an analogy. "Back to Your Majesty, the shock wave is like we threw a stone into the water, and there was a splash, and then there were ripples in circles. The air we breathe is the same as water, and we don't usually feel the power, but when it explodes, it can hurt people. ”
Zhao Kuangyin sighed, and said: "It's a reason to follow the gale, I have seen a whirlwind roll people up, and then fall to death." ”
Although Huang Han felt that it seemed different, he would not refute it directly, and ordered a team of Kaifeng Mansion who had been arranged under his command in the past two days: "Pull all the sheep back, conduct an autopsy, and check whether the internal organs are damaged." ”
This is the task assigned by Zhao Dezhao, and it must not be ignored, after working in Xiangyang for a few months, he has already liked it, and he is ready to make a living with the prince in the future.
Zhao Guangyi waited for the explosion to complete, and also came over in a carriage. Once in the army and presided over Kaifeng Mansion for five years, he didn't care about this bloody scene.
Helped down from the carriage by Chen Ping, he squatted next to the camel carcass and took a closer look.
The camel did not receive much direct trauma from the explosion except for a few small wounds on its thighs and hind rumps, but because it was too close to the explosion point, it was directly shocked to death.
After watching for a long time, he came to the intersection where the bomb was planted again, and stared at the big crater with a diameter of two or three meters.
Only by seeing the power of gunpowder with one's own eyes can everyone know that this thing is not only a sound, but also has great lethality.
Zhao Guangyi was also a little shocked, and looked back at the two-zhang high inner city wall, as well as the half-collapsed city tower above.
For a moment, his mind went blank.
"If there is this thing in the army, why not be afraid of the Khitan threat!"
Looking back, it was Zhao Kuangyin standing beside him, he nodded and said: "The threat of the Central Plains lies in the Khitan, and its cavalry is fierce and powerful, coming and going like the wind, and it is difficult to resist.
Now the Northern Han Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty have allied with the Khitan and surrounded our Great Song Dynasty in the middle. As a last resort, my Great Song Dynasty could only give up the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River and plan against the Southern Han Dynasty.
The second brother has now created such weapons, which is really a blessing for my Great Song Dynasty. I just don't know, what is the output now? ”
Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "What's more...... This is just the one that the second brother has come up with now, and this one he named a bomb, which can be used to kill and injure enemies with trebuchets. There is also a kind of bullet called handball, which can be thrown far away to hurt people with his hands. And there is another way to attack the city and break the defense. ”
Huang Han walked over at this time, bowed down and clenched his fists. "Your Majesty, now that we have tested the lethality of the bomb, we will test the destructive power of the bomb. Please Your Majesty and all the ministers move to the Nanhu Kaifeng Mansion and watch from a distance. ”
Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "Today you are the commander, we will all listen to you...... Shift! ”
It took two quarters of an hour for the ministers to move to the west side of the Kaifeng Mansion, on the embankment between the lake and the South Lake.
It is about 200 zhang away from Xisimen, and there is a piece of lake in the middle of the South Lake.
During their move, Huang Hancai commanded a group of craftsmen to install explosives packs on the Xisimen city wall, and the forbidden army was responsible for supervising it.
Huang Han held a pencil and a stack of blank paper in his hand, directing around and calculating.
In a quarter of an hour, all the explosives had been buried, and the others had pulled the leads of the explosives bags under the city gate.
According to the different positions of the explosives package and the length of the leads, Huang Han has calculated four ignition points.
After recalculating, he sent someone to report to Zhao Kuangyin and others.
On the side of the Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi sat at a stone table specially placed in Kaifeng Mansion, except for them, only some old and frail ministers could be assigned a seat.
Most of the ministers could only stand on the road, on the embankment of the lake, and look at Simon in the distance.
"It's too far away to see anything ......"
"Commander Xiao forgot the power of Fang Cai's explosion? It's far away, but it's safe. What's more, if you can't see people clearly, you can see the city walls clearly. ”
On the other side, Huang Han received an ignition order and immediately began to evacuate the craftsmen and forbidden troops, and in the end, only Huang Han and four ignition personnel were left at the scene.
With Huang Han's ignition, the four forbidden soldiers in charge of lighting the fire stretched out the incense they had lit in their hands to the lead at the same time.
The fuses were lit, and the five of them ran eastward.
Huang Han didn't care about Sven sweeping the floor at this time, and he ran no slower than the scud of the forbidden army.
It was only a bomb of fifty pounds of gunpowder, but this time, it was a full one hundred and fifty pounds of gunpowder!
Although there is no thistle terrestris that can attack from a distance, the city wall has been blown up, and flying bricks and rubble are also indispensable.
The five of them ran across the stone bridge on the north shore of the South Lake, which was already a predetermined safe position, and before they could catch their breath, a loud bang came.
This time the voice was not as amazing as Fang Cai's voice, more like a muffled sound, and not a sound, like several in a row.
However, compared to the loud noise just now, this time the earth trembled, and the surface of the South Lake suddenly collapsed, and then a layer of big waves appeared.
Many ministers were caught off guard, and were shaken by this tremor of the earth, and at a glance, a large area was shaken.
There were a few unlucky people on the lake embankment, because they were unsteady on their feet, and they fell into the South Lake at once.
Fortunately, the water was not too deep, and several people fell into the lake, that is, they were a little embarrassed.
Nanhu Lake is the place where the four rivers of Kaifeng Mansion converge, with a huge area, which bears the water of the people of Kaifeng Mansion.
Although at the turn of early summer every year, it is easy to flood and flood Kaifeng Mansion, but Kaifeng Mansion is inseparable from this lake.
A loud noise came, and the shaking of the earth followed, and Zhao Kuangyin saw that the city wall at the end of Xisimen was scattered with the explosion like paper paste, and the teacup he was about to drink in his hand also fell to the ground.
Looking back, a small half of the ministers fell to the ground, and he was not the most out of shape.
The attendants were still in shock, and he picked up his teacup, put it on the stone table as if it was fine, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Looking at the Xisimen again, the section with the city gate tower has disappeared and collapsed more than a dozen feet.
No, it can't be said to collapse, it should be gone.
With such power, he didn't know what city could not be breached.
After sighing with emotion, he retracted his mind and found that something was wrong.
Zhao Guangyi was stunned there for a long time, and he didn't move.
Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly reached out and put his arm on it, as if he was suddenly deflated, he let out a long snort from his chest, and then his straight body softened, and then he collapsed.
Fortunately, Chen Ping saw it all of a sudden, and hurriedly supported him, but saw that he was out of breath a lot, less in breath, his chest was rising and falling, and he was very uncomfortable.
"Third brother, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Ping pinched Zhao Guangyi's people. "Zhongshu Ling, hold on! Hold on to ......"
Zhao Kuangyin got up and shouted: "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor......
But the crowd was chaotic, and I didn't know where the Imperial Doctor was at this moment.
When the imperial doctor was found, Zhao Guangyi had already improved a lot, at least not like he couldn't breathe just now.
However, his lower body was dripping constantly, and his body couldn't hold it anymore.
The guards hurriedly removed the door panel of a nearby family and placed him on the wooden board.
He couldn't even move, but he still held Zhao Kuangyin's hand tightly. "Second brother, a heaven-given artifact, I want to go on a Northern Expedition, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Liaodong, those are all Huaxia."
Zhao Kuangyin comforted: "Don't worry, there will be a Northern Expedition, and you will definitely recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun." ”
Even if he killed his brother, brother, nephew, and crusade against the Khitan and got the nickname of the god of the sorghum river, but at this moment, he is a Chinese.
The revitalization of China is promising, and what swells up in his heart is the nostalgia for the loss of the country.
When a man is about to die, his words are good.
Zhao Guangyi was carried to the side courtyard of the Kaifeng Mansion, his clothes were stripped off, and the imperial doctor quickly pierced him with countless silver needles.
Huang Han walked past the ministers who were talking, and originally he was not respected by others.
But at this moment, he was at the center of the crowd.
"The official family is worried about the order, and the matter will be reported to the official family later."
Huang Han nodded, leaning against the wall of the outer courtyard, in front of him were all important ministers, and he had no place for the newly promoted Eighth Rank Capital.
After more than half an hour, there was a whisper from the crowd, which reached Huang Han's ears. "Zhongshu Ling has been rescued."
