Chapter 367 How to Deal with It

After everyone digested it for a while, Liu Wenjing said again: "Actually, how the allied forces broke through the city quickly is the key that we need to pay attention to the most at present."

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned again, and then they understood a little.

According to the intelligence, the Allied army launched an attack at five o'clock in the morning, and before that, the three major city gates suddenly made a loud noise at the same time, followed by the three army entering the city at the same time, there was no process of attacking the city by the army, and afterwards, the gates of the three major city gates were seriously damaged, and the city gates weighing thousands of pounds were nowhere to be seen.

This is indeed very strange, but everyone didn't notice these before, after all, the allied army has always been very strong, and is good at breaking the city inside and outside, everyone has been accustomed to it, and they feel that this break in the city should also be the result of the combination of inside and outside, so they didn't pay much attention to these details, at this time, when they heard Liu Wenjing mention it, they quickly thought of the abnormality.

Everyone pondered, and after a while, Li Jiancheng said: "Lord Liu thinks that these three loud noises are the key to the Allied army's breakthrough of the city?"

"Not bad!"

Liu Wenjing nodded and said, "Although I don't know how these three loud noises were made, my subordinates are sure that the loud noises have a great relationship with the breaking of the city by the Allied Army, otherwise there would not be such a coincidence. ”

Li Jiancheng was silent for a while, nodded in agreement, but Li Yuan said in a hurry: "Wen Jing can guess the origin of this loud noise?"

"Nope! The subordinates had never heard of anything that could break the gates by making a loud noise. ”

Liu Wenjing shook his head and said, paused, and said solemnly: "My subordinates have some guesses, this loud weapon should be a newly invented siege weapon of the Alliance!"

When Li Yuan heard this, his face suddenly changed a little, but he didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, he had guessed that this was the reason before, but he was a little reluctant to believe it, after all, this loud noise breaking the city was too unbelievable, and he had never heard of it.

Now when he heard Liu Wenjing guessing like this, he couldn't help but secretly affirm a little bit, after all, there was intelligence that Su Shang established an alliance university in Donglai City, an alliance craftsman school, etc., all of which were researching, improving, and improving various knives and guns and other weapons, and at the same time, they were also researching and inventing some strange things.

There is evidence that they have improved bed crossbows with a longer range and easier to use, as well as new infantry bows that are easier to craft and use with less effort at the same range.

Another example is the pencil, which is a very convenient writing instrument invented by them, so it is likely that the earth-shattering noise is also their newly invented tool for breaking the city.

At this thought, Li Yuan's face couldn't help but be a little ugly, he had also set up a craftsman workshop in Taiyuan after the model of the Alliance Craftsman School, but unfortunately because of the lack of incentives, it did not have much effect.

In Donglai, Su Shang stipulated that whoever improved the existing weapons or various tools used by the common people, or invented new things, would be rewarded by the allies.

Moreover, Su Shang also formulated a grading standard, which will be graded according to the military and social roles produced by these technologies and inventions, and those with high ranks will not only be rewarded with money, but also with land, and even have been knighted.

In Taiyuan, Li Yuan could only provide some monetary rewards, and even the monetary rewards were not very many, after all, he still needed a lot of money and food to support the army.

As for the land official position or something, under the opposition of the family lords, there is nothing, according to them, the invention or something is some miscellaneous science, and the craftsman or something is a humble profession, they are not eligible for land rewards, let alone official knighthood.

A small amount of money was not enough to arouse the enthusiasm of the craftsmen, who simply did not take the extra time to study those things, and even those who had their own skills were reluctant to make them public.

After all, once it is made public, not only will they not get much benefit, but they will lack their unique skills, and once they lose their unique skills, they will lose their advantages, which will lead to a great loss of their importance and a great increase in the amount of labor.

It is precisely because of this that in the two years since Li Yuan set up the craftsman workshop, except for the appearance of two improved sword forging processes at the beginning, it has no effect after that.

The other people's faces also changed when they heard this, although they didn't believe it very much, but at present, there was no other reasonable explanation except for such an explanation, and none of them had ever seen anything that could break through the gate weighing thousands of catties after making a loud noise.

Everyone was a little silent for a while, and after a while, Li Yuan glanced at everyone and said slowly: "It seems that you are also guessing like this, since this is the case, once this matter is true, then the consequences of it must be imagined by everyone, everyone let's talk about it, what should we do next?"

Yes, they can all imagine it, and if the speculation comes true, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The combat power of the Allied army was already terrifying enough, and with the same number, it was difficult for other rebel armies, including the Tang army, to match them head-on, and only by relying on the city could they retain some chances of victory.

And once they really have the weapons to easily break through the city gates, then as their opponents, they will lose their last support. When the allied forces attack, the other side can only fight hand-to-hand, in that case, in this world, others don't have to fight at all, just send it to Su Shang!

After a while, Pei Zhilin stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates think that the best way now is to use secret agents to increase the infiltration of Donglai City, and let the secret agents confirm whether the allied forces really have such weapons."

Once confirmed, let the agents tempt them to buy their craftsmen with a lot of money, or have them steal the blueprints for us, or bring them back secretly. ”

"General Pei's method is good, I approve of it!"

"I'm for it too!"

...

Everyone agreed, but Su Dingyan said a little embarrassed: "Lord Wang, General Pei's method seems to be useful, but in the eyes of his subordinates, it has no operational significance."

Li Yuan was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "Please also ask General Su to explain in detail!"

Su Dingyan immediately took two steps forward, glanced at Pei Zhilin with contempt, bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, let's first assume that this weapon is true.

Then, as a powerful weapon producer, their identities must be very secret, and they will definitely be monitored and protected by the Allied forces, even their families. Think about it, can such a craftsman be accessible to our secret agents? ”
