Chapter 425: Let the myth fly for a while
"Hahahaha!" Deng Bao had been taken back to Tushan, and everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard him talk about his adventure.
Chen Zhi shook his head while laughing: "This guy! I thought there would be a fight after rushing in, but who knows, he was actually protected by the enemy there. And they all bowed down to him. There he was also inciting those men to immediately take up arms and counterattack Cao Ren. Well, so many people were subdued empty-handed at once. It's also a miracle. ”
Deng Bao was still unwilling: "But you have to let me come back first." ”
"He told me that he wanted to lead the troops to counterattack. It seems that he still has the dream of becoming a general. Chen Zhi explained to everyone, "But the order I received is to snatch him out as soon as possible." ”
"Good! Be ambitious! Liu Bei praised Deng Bao twice, took his hand and patted it twice, "Falling from the sky is safe and sound, it is already blessed by the gods." Besides, you also took the opportunity to rebel against so many enemy troops, and the credit is not small. People like you who can fly are rare talents in my Han family. I don't want you to lose in vain. ”
Ge Liang stretched out his hand and wanted to slap Deng Bao on the back of the head, but when he saw Liu Bei holding him, he had to put his hand down first and said to Deng Bao: "I said that you are just scaring and scaring people." Do you still want to do it? Have you ever taken a knife or a gun? By the way, you didn't show your flaws in front of those Wei troops, did you? What about your garments of a sacred bird? ”
A white soldier hurriedly handed over a burden.
Deng Bao smiled mischievously: "They surrounded me, in an alley, and I changed my clothes." ”
Ge Liang asked again: "What about the wings and umbrella bag?" ”
Deng Bao smiled: "Isn't the sacred bird Vermilion Bird a fire?" So I set a fire and burned the tree. Alas, it's a pity that it's such a big tree. Sir, don't you see that there is still smoke coming from there? ”
"Good, smart! Well done. Liu Bei praised again.
Ge Liang still has to blame: "You are still laughing, you are worried about us to death." Well, now that you can't fly back, let the other companions in heaven go and report to your aunt. She hasn't been back for so long to see you over there, and she doesn't know what the rush is. ”
Deng Bao hurriedly put away his smiling face, picked up the red and white flags with Ge Liang, and signaled to his companions who were still flying in the sky.
Guan Yu had another idea: "Looking from us, it seems that our people have already rushed to the center of the city, so there is no need to throw any iron eggs, it is better to let them observe from a high place, if they can find the enemy's escape route, wouldn't it be better to lead the army to pursue?" ”
It makes sense, and it also puts more psychological pressure on fleeing enemies.
However, someone has to send a message to Huang Bao, right?
Liu Bei sighed: "Like this, a divine bird flies in the sky, the underground ghosts are troubled, the city wall collapses in an instant, and mysterious events come out one after another, the people guarding the city have never seen it, and they must have been frightened a long time ago." Even if the defenders are bold and not afraid of death, but as soon as the city wall collapses, our army will easily rush into the city, and no matter how ruthless he Cao Ren is, it will be in vain. The pretended ghosts and gods may be recognized, but this booming thing is really powerful. ”
Guan Yu couldn't help but say: "Ge Gong is a little stingy, since he built it two years ago, it would be good to lend me some to attack Fancheng." ”
Ge Liang explained: "This thing, in fact, is very simple, someone has already made it. If I put it to work too soon, in case the enemy finds out, and we don't have the advantage of fighting the world, the enemy will have enough time and space in the rear to study it, and make this thing, and use it against us in a war, which will put unbearable pressure on us. Just like this catapult, didn't the enemy build so much so quickly? ”
That's right! Liu Bei nodded again and again, and then asked: "You said that this thing is actually very simple, someone has already made it, so what is it, can Ge Gong tell us in detail?" Why haven't I seen anyone use it before? ”
Ge Liang replied: "It is true that someone has already made it. Actually, that booming thing is the same thing as the two handfuls of medicinal powder that His Majesty sprinkled into the fire when He summoned Suzaku just now. ”
"Ouch!" Liu Bei couldn't help but lean back slightly, staring at his hands, "Is it the same thing?" If there was a bang just now, it would have scared the hell out of me. ”
He shook his head again and again, unable to believe it: "This thing should be used in the Dharma field, right?" It should have been a long time ago, but I've never seen such an explosion, and it can blow down a city wall. ”
"It's really the same thing." "It's just a mixture of sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal, and you can burn and explode." This was discovered by those Taoist priests when they were dispensing medicine and alchemy. It's just that they may use less each time, mainly because the ratio may not reach the optimal ratio, and it is not to put it in a confined space......"
After saying a lot, Ge Liang finally reminded: "Your Majesty, if you want to use it often, if Zhang Lu's gang or some other Taoist priest experiences it a few times and smells that familiar smell, is it possible to think of the mystery?" ”
Well, this yellow, it seems that the study is not too serious, otherwise, if you make yellow gunpowder or nitroglycerin or something, you can really go to war early.
Perhaps, he really focused on aerodynamics? Is it really ready to enter the Air Force sequence?
It's no wonder that our old Ge cursed people for not being pilots, this is-for-tat.
After listening to Ge Liang's explanation, even Guan Yu, Meng Guang and others nodded again and again, Ge Liang's concerns were very reasonable.
Liu Bei set his eyes on Xuchang City, and saw that there were fireworks everywhere, and it seemed that the entire city was about to be occupied by the Han army, and said to Ge Liang: "Since this is the case, then let's quickly take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and take Luoyang in one go, so as not to give the enemy a chance to breathe." ”
Ge Liang was not so anxious: "Naturally, I want to take advantage of the victory to approach Luoyang, but I don't need to be too anxious." The enemy's soldiers must not be able to figure out what is going on at this time, believing that Ji Han has his own divine help, so it is better to simply let the myth fly first for a while. ”
"What Ge Gong means is that now that the enemy is in a panic, if they let their soldiers flee back, they will definitely spread the word of mouth, saying that the defeat is not because they are not fighting hard, but because we have the help of the gods, they can't hold the city at all? And then one to ten, ten to hundred, the world will think so? Meng Guang interjected in a rare way.
Ge Liang grinned: "That is, the words of the enemy themselves are of course more convincing than those of my own mouth. I was thinking that this time we might as well let most of the captives go home. In addition to Luoyang, those soldiers from Jizhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou and other places may be of greater help to us. When Luoyang is taken, other regions may really be able to spread overnight. ”
