After the explosion, Hu Liying raised her head and looked at the target area, only to see that all the humanoid buttresses were on fire.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Sun Hui's voice sounded in her ears, and when she heard his voice, her heart beat less violently.

Hu Liying followed behind Sun Hui and came to the target area with everyone, and she found that the heavy iron armor from the center of the explosion was all broken, and the iron armor that was a little farther away was also pierced by iron pieces, showing the terrifying power of this weapon.

Hu Liying did not dare to imagine what would happen if the shells fell into a dense army and exploded.

Sun Hui was also excited when he watched the bombardment effect of his first DIY mortar cannon in this era.

"The power of this 'cupola cannon' is really fierce, but the cannon body is heavier and inconvenient to move," Jiang Xuan quickly saw the shortcomings of this kind of artillery, and said, "It is a sharp weapon to defend the city, and if you attack the enemy in the field, it is not convenient." ”

Sun Hui understood that Jiang Xuan was telling the truth, but in his opinion, it was very difficult for the Song army in this era to use such a cannon.

The reason why he chose to use a short-barreled mortar instead of a long-barreled gun was based on practical considerations. Because he was going to fight against the nomadic Dangxiang people, if he dealt with the Dangxiang cavalry, the lethality and killing area of the explosive shells fired by the mortar cannon were much larger than the solid shells fired by the long-barreled field artillery, and the weight of his mortar cannon of 600 catties was actually not very heavy, and it could accompany the army in mobile combat. In addition, the mortar cannon was also a sharp weapon for siege of the city, and for the Tangut people who hid behind the rudimentary city walls, the blasting shells fired by the mortar cannon were absolutely devastating.

For him, the biggest problem is actually that he is limited by the smelting technology of this era, and he is unable to make more of these cannons. Fortunately, to deal with a country like Western Xia, the Song army only needs to be equipped with a small number of "cupola cannons", which should be enough.

Now there is only one "cupola cannon", but because the craftsmen are already familiar with the manufacturing process, before the army goes out, four more can be built, Sun Hui's plan is to leave one cannon in Beijing, and the rest are all allocated to the Western Expeditionary Army for the conquest of Western Xia.

Now he just needs to wait for Ye Chuchu to come back.

He actually knew who Ye Chuchu was going to see.

This person's name is Zhang Xubai.

The Song Dynasty was the most supernatural era in Chinese history. According to records, only a few very special eras such as the pre-Qin, the first emperor, and the Han Wu could surpass it.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, the legends and wonders of the pre-Qin era are indeed more dazzling, but the historical data are inaccurate and there is basically no evidence; Qin Shi Huang pursued immortality, looked for immortal prescriptions, and sent people to cross the sea, which looked like a very feat, but the realm was too low.

Immortality is the lowest and most preliminary level in the immortal law. Qin Shi Huang looked for an immortal prescription, but was ridiculed by the priests, and was so angry that he opened a killing ring; crossed the sea to find Penglai Island, but the personnel never returned, and made a Japanese ...... suspected of being the successor of Xu Fu As for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he is a miniature version of the first emperor in this regard, and he has done everything that Brother Yingzheng has done, and the Western Han Dynasty can still last for a few generations behind him, which is quite not simple.

After that, even the Tang Dynasty was counted, and there was no fairy scenery of the Song Dynasty. In Zhao Ji's era, there were all kinds of goods, and there were representatives of any kind. In the prophecy category, there is Liu Mingkang, the twenty-fifth generation grandmaster of Maoshan, who once predicted the top two names of the spring list in the second year. This is very handsome, but very pediatric, people in the supernatural world can say something about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, among them, the person with the farthest span and the most accurate prediction is called Zhang Xubai.

Zhang Xubai is in charge of the Taiyi Palace, the official Taixu Doctor, and the Golden Gate Yuke. In his palace, Zhao Ji personally ordered the addition of four halls: Hongdao, Zhenxue, Huibin, and Yinzhen. He also built a nunnery and a small xuan, and the names were inscribed by Zhao Ji himself.

What makes Zhao Ji value him so much, because he often drinks.

Zhang Xubai is a typical drunken person who spits out the truth, whenever he is drunk, he will suddenly lie down, lie on Zhao Ji's lap, mutter, and say some words covered by clouds and mountains.

These words will be fulfilled after some day. What's more, at a certain moment, when he is happy, he will directly say what will happen on which day, which is extremely rare, you must know that even the famous "Tui Bei Tu", "Song of Baked Cakes" or the "Hundred Psalms" of Nostradamus, an outstanding foreign spiritual and extraterrestrial person, are only vaguely hinting at the future with pictures and poems.

No one can say exactly what happened on which day, and be 100% accurate. But Zhang did it. His most classic prophecy was that many years later, the news of the collapse of the Liao State reached Kaifeng, and the Jin people claimed to have captured the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi. At this time, Zhao Ji asked Zhang Xubai: "What do you think of this matter?" ”

Zhang Xubai happened to be drunk at that time, he lay on Zhao Ji's lap, and said slowly: "Emperor Tianzuo has been waiting for Your Majesty for a long time in the palace room on the sea. This sentence made the surrounding ministers sweat collectively, Yelu Yanxi was the king of the dead country and the prisoner of the lower ranks, and Zhao Ji had just won the highest achievement award of the emperors of the Song Dynasty at that time, and the height he reached could not even be compared with Zhao Kuangyin, the founding monarch of the country.

Zhang Xubai actually predicted such an emperor as the second Yelu Yanxi, is there anything more rebellious than this? It's a vicious curse! Anyone else has to kick this demon out, beat him up without cutting off his head, and go to bad luck.

But Zhao Ji just smiled, he patted Zhang Xubai's back and said, "Zhang Hu, you are drunk again." Years later, history proved that Zhang's prediction was correct.

However, Zhang Xubai is not greedy for wealth and nobility, his personal character is still okay, strictly speaking, Zhang Xubai only made a small deal in the palace, he used his prophetic talent to exchange some imperial wine and food with Zhao Ji. Other than that, he doesn't want anything.

Zhao Ji wanted to give him too much, first a large sum of gold and silver, but he didn't want it; Someone persuaded him to take advantage of the opportunity to help people talk and hit Zhao Ji's wooden clock. Zhang Xubai shook his head and said that the prime minister was there in the court, and it had nothing to do with him.

When he left, he was very ethereal, he didn't use the emperor's travel expenses, he didn't use the ministers to see him off, and he left quietly. Many years later, he reappeared, when Zhao Ji had entered another period of fate, and the endless dark night enveloped the Northern Song Dynasty and crushed him.

Zhao Ji cried and said to Zhang Xubai: "What you said in the past has come true, I really regret not listening to you at the beginning." When it was, Zhang Xubai sighed and said, "The matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to be done." May Your Majesty take care of your body, the past is irreparable......"

Ye Chuchu didn't know much about history, although she was transported to this era to merge with Emperor Roufu and have the memory of Emperor Roufu, but she didn't know Zhang Xubai as a person, and it was Sun Hui who inadvertently talked about it that caught her attention.
