Prime Minister Wei Chi asked sensitive questions, and Yu Wenwen continued to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and he began to explain what a thunderstorm was.

First of all, when the two armies were facing each other in a dignified formation, a sudden thunderous sound could disturb the cavalry's war horses, and this loud noise could directly frighten the war horses into panic and not listen to the command.

Either paralyzed by fright, or overturned the man sitting in the saddle, or ran around uncontrollably, and the enemy cavalry was scattered, and it was a good time for your own counterattack.

Second, the enemy soldiers will be frightened by this loud noise, ordinary people are afraid of the unknown, if they can slowly calm down on weekdays, but when the two armies are fighting, they are already nervous, and they are suddenly shocked by this loud noise, even if they are stunned for a moment, they will lose the opportunity.

Of course, it is necessary to let your own war horses adapt to this sound in advance, and the generals above the battle array must also know in their hearts, don't make their own people into a mess, it will be self-defeating.

As for why the thunder can kill people, Yu Wenwen said that as long as the death row prisoner lives in the big bell and then rings the bell hard, the death row prisoner will definitely bleed to death, which is why the loud noise shatters the internal organs.

"So how was Fancheng breached?" Wei Chi Yuan is not easy to fool.

"The thunder is really made by the Danfang, and it will make a loud noise when it is ignited by fire, and of course it will also breathe fire, and the loud noise can not only shatter people's internal organs, but also crack the city wall, but its power is not as powerful as the power of opening the mountain."

"I see" Wei Chi Yuan nodded slightly, two years ago, the governor of Anzhou, Gongyu Wenliang of Qiguo led his troops to fight against the 'imperial court' in Chang'an, first quickly broke through Fancheng on the north bank of the Han River, and then immediately returned to the division to fight a decisive battle with the 'imperial court' to conquer the southern army at the mouth of the two rivers.

The battle was thrilling, the Anzhou army first collapsed the southern army formation with thunder, and as a result, the opponent's deception was defeated during the pursuit, and the Anzhou army was almost turned over by the other party, and the soldiers fought bloodily to turn the tide of the war, and finally defeated the southern army.

When the Anzhou army quickly broke through Fancheng, it used a thunderbolt, and with this thing to break the city wall of Fancheng, Wei Chi Yu did not experience these two battles, but tens of thousands of soldiers at the scene witnessed the power of the thunder, and it was impossible to hide it from the eyes and ears of the world.

He also sent people to investigate for a long time, gathered a lot of news, and had a general impression of the power of the thunder.

This kind of powerful weapon is naturally the focus of attention of all parties, but the Anzhou Ordnance Supervisor has tightly covered the secrets of the thunder, and no other forces have mastered the secrets so far, and there has been no such thing on the battlefield elsewhere.

Wei Chiyu, who has led the troops for decades, knows that this thunder is a sharp weapon in the army, just like the new trebuchet of the siege weapon, which can make his own side like a tiger, but when the Shannan Army fought last year, there was no news that this thing was put into battle.

Either the Shannan Army deliberately covered it up, or there was no need to use it, but no matter what, Wei Chi Yu wanted to know what this thunder was, because even if he didn't use it, the Sui Army might find out the secrets and draw a gourd to make it into battle.

The battle between the two armies sometimes leads to the collapse of one side in an instant for some reason, and Wei Chi has fought for decades, and knows that the reasons for many defeats seem to be incredibly simple afterwards, so he does not allow such a threat to lurk, and he is helpless.

"Is it possible for Yang Yi to get the secret recipe for this thunderbolt?" Wei Chi Yu continued to ask, and Yuwen Wen revealed that Yang Rei's meticulous work in the past two years had been arrested, and most of them were for the purpose of probing the secrets of the thunder.

"The craftsmen who make the thunder have been strictly guarded by the soldiers, and they are served with good food and drink, and of course their families have also come to live in Anlu, so that no one dares to take risks and eat inside and out."

Wei Chi Yu heard the words and groaned, last year, the governor of the Prime Minister's Mansion Shi Cui Da secretly sent an envoy to Shannan to bring back the drawings of the new trebuchet, and the craftsmen of the Xiangzhou Military Weapons Supervision quickly figured out the relevant structure, and the trebuchet produced was put into operation in the second half of the year.

I thought that I could quickly break through the Jiancheng of Sui State, but I did not expect that the other side also had similar ordnance put into use, taking the Battle of Xingyang as an example, the trebuchets of the two sides shot at each other, and it took several months for the Zhou army to take the city.

The rest of the Sui cities also have this kind of trebuchet, and the speed of popularization is very amazing, of course, this has a lot to do with the simple structure of the trebuchet.

At first, Wei Chi thought that Yu Wenliang deliberately leaked the new trebuchet so that he and Yang Jian and Hebang could compete for a fisherman's profit, but it was basically impossible to think about it, the Sui army had a new trebuchet, and the threat to Shannan was greater.

The trebuchet is a siege weapon, the cavalry of the Shannan Zhou army is overstretched, and if you really want to deal with the main force of the Sui army, you are afraid that you will not be able to catch it, and it will probably be mainly defensive, if you take the initiative to leak secrets to the Sui army, it will be self-defeating.

He judged that when these trebuchets attacked the city, they drew a figure for the Sui army defending the city, and then painted the imitation made by the gourd.

From this point of view, once the Sui army discovered the secrets of the thunderbolt, it was produced in large quantities for combat, but the imperial court did not have a thunderbolt to deal with, and sooner or later something big would happen, so it was inevitable for Wei Chi to deal with the thunder.

The relevant secrets must be clarified, it is not good for time to drag on, and Wei Chi Yuan must decide the winner before Yang Jian rectifies the national strength.

He is much older than Yang Jian, and he can't afford to spend time, and his body knows that if it drags on for a few more years, once he has three longs and two shorts, then the direction of Zhou's political situation is pessimistic.

How did the Qi State die, Wei Chi Yuan, who witnessed the whole process, knew very well in his heart, he didn't want the ending of the destruction of the Qi State to be repeated in the Zhou State, whether it was for the Yuwen clan or for the Yu Chi clan, he had to solve the Sui State as soon as possible.

"Does Yuwen Xingtai have any intention of dedicating the secret recipe of the thunder to the imperial court?" Wei Chi asked, this is just the beginning, he has the resources to use as a bargaining chip to get the secret recipe in his hands, or directly put pressure on him, anyway, he can't help but not give it to the other party.

"Well, the secret recipe is not that I don't want to give, it's just that my grandson-in-law is bold, may I ask the prime minister" Yu Wenwen 'revealed' embarrassed, he and his father and brother have already considered the matter at this point, so how to expand the interests is the key, "May I ask the prime minister, how to keep it secret?" ”

"Confidentiality? What do you mean by that? Wei Chi was a little surprised, the other party's tone relaxed so quickly, but it was beyond his expectations.

"Prime Minister, the secret recipe of the thunder is not complicated, and the materials required are not too difficult to collect, so the biggest difficulty is to keep it secret, in order to keep this secret, An Lu killed no less than hundreds of people, and it is also a loss that there are few craftsmen who know the secret recipe to control, if there is only one reckless person in the imperial court, then everyone in the world will know it."

Wei Chi fell into deep thought, he has been an official for many years, and he knows all kinds of twists and turns in the official office, not to mention the official office, even the imperial city has no impermeable walls, and it is difficult to keep secrets, it is nothing more than whether the connections are enough, or whether the insiders want to spread out.

Yu Wenwen's worries were not unreasonable, but Wei Chi Hui thought that this was not the reason for the other party to hide the secret recipe of the thunder in the sky, Yu Chi Yu looked at the young man in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Then according to your wishes, how to deal with it?" ”

'Sell son-in-law, you are the first year of junior high and I will be fifteen! Yuwen Wen was ruthless in his heart, pretending to think for a moment, and said with a sad face: "My father didn't think about dedicating the secret recipe to the imperial court, but he was afraid that there would be too many people to keep the secret, and then after thinking about it for a few days, he had an idea, and his son-in-law wanted to ask the prime minister to consider it."

"What's the matter with Yuwen Xingtai?"

"This secret recipe will be handed over to the Duke of Angu County, if there is any mistake, please behead the Duke of Angu County to set an example."

Wei Chi Yu was stunned when he heard this, looked at Yu Wenwen with unbelievable eyes, and saw that the other party was also looking at him, and after a moment of stalemate between the two sides, Yu Chi Yu suddenly laughed out loud.

I don't know how long he laughed, he finally relieved his breath, and seeing Yu Wenwen's sincere look, Wei Chi Zhen smiled and shook his head: "You two sons-in-law, it's really interesting." ”

"What does the grandson-in-law think, I don't know what the prime minister wants?"

"What do you want, slippery boy?"

"Well, it's better to make it convenient for the prime minister, and after a while, the son-in-law will enter the palace and catch up with His Majesty, and how about returning to Shannan in a few days?"

"Hahaha!!" (To be continued.) )
