The hot air balloon has great limitations, first of all, it is too slow to chase down enemies with it. Secondly, there is also a great threat to safety, the impurity of the fierce fire oil, and the unpredictable wind direction, all of which make this thing not popularized on a large scale.

But if it's a case for Sunihar, it's very simple. It is estimated that he did not expect that the Tang army would launch an attack at night, let alone that Su Dingfang and them were just feintting.

After throwing hundreds of gunpowder bullets in one go, Qin Ze ordered a retreat. After all, the thing of gunpowder bullets has been developed, and this can be regarded as the only thing that the Ordnance Supervisor has done in the past year to satisfy Qin Ze.

Unlike Qin Ze before, when they threw gunpowder bullets from the sky, the slightest carelessness would explode before they hit the ground. Now the Ordnance Superintendent has invented this kind of gunpowder shell specially designed to bombard from the air, as long as the hot air balloon reaches the specified height, the gunpowder shell can successfully explode on the ground.

It only took two hours for Qin Ze to return to the camp again. Without saying a word, he went straight into the tent and began to fall asleep. It's like just going out for the night.

It turned out that there was really no way to sleep well in the barracks, and before it was dark, the whole barracks was lively again.

The Turks retreated, and not only five or six miles. The scouts who went to inquire about the news came with the news that there was now an extreme disturbance in Suni's army.

It has even split into three armies and is moving in different directions.

That's right, the tree falls and the monkey Sun San. After Sunihar died, it would be impossible for his subordinates to stay here. The shock brought to them by Qin Ze's attack last night had already made them no longer have the heart to fight.

Who knows whose head the next gunpowder bullet will fall, so naturally someone began to run away.

Two of the three armies moved in a northwesterly direction, and one moved towards the Watur grassland.

Li Daozong advanced from Lingzhou to the northwest of the Turks, so the results of these two disheartened Turkic armies were already obvious.

You must know that Li Daozong is not so easy to provoke, and Jieli wanted to attack Xue Yantuo at the beginning. Li Daozong dared to lead his troops to be stationed in Yinshan, and directly withstood the onslaught of the Turkic army.

So when he heard the news, Qin Ze also smiled happily.

And Su Dingfang is also in high spirits, these days they have been fighting with Sunihar, and they have been unable to attack the Watur grassland. Fortunately, now Jieli's last line of defense has collapsed, and the next step is to smash Huanglong.

Su Dingfang was the first march, and the real main force of the army was Li Jing and Xu Shiji behind him. According to their ideas, with the method of advancing five or six miles a day, they could attack the Watur grassland in less than a month. Although this is more expensive, it is safe after all.

But now the two generals were stunned after listening to the good news from the front.

Captain Su attacked Suni's lost department at night and killed Sunihar!

Suni's army was defeated and fled!

In just one day, Su Dingfang gave them such a big surprise. Subconsciously, the two of them thought of Qin Ze, and this kind of thing can only be done by this kid.

It's just that this good news is very vague, just writing that Su Dingfang led three hundred warriors to attack Suni at night, but it didn't mention Qin Ze's participation.

But intuitively, both of them felt that this matter was not simple, 300 people could rush into an army of 40,000 and kill Sunihar?

If it weren't for the fact that Suni's army really retreated, Li Jing and Xu Shiji probably had to wonder if Su Dingfang lied about the military situation.

The two generals looked at each other, then both sighed.

"You don't have to think about it to know that this matter must have nothing to do with that Qin boy, it seems that we are really old."

Although Xu Shiji's words sounded a little indescribable sigh, it could be seen that he was actually very happy.

Li Jing also stroked his beard with a smile, and then laughed and said: "Although this son is rough in terms of tactics, I have to say that he can do miraculous results every time." The last time there was a battle in Lingzhou City, 20,000 enemy troops were burned, and I knew that this son was not bad. Now it seems that we are too rotten. ”

They are all generals who are dedicated to Tang, even if Li Jing is ashamed of Qin Ze's conduct. But at this time, I am also sincerely happy for Datang.

"Order the Sixth Army to prepare to attack the Watur Grassland!"

Li Jing laughed and gave the order, and at the same time glanced at Xu Shiji, and then rushed towards Su Dingfang's camp with great tacit understanding.

The development of anything requires a process of acceptance, and for veterans like Li Jing, they believe in real knives and real guns. They have fought all their lives, and naturally they have some extremely high self-confidence in themselves.

So they will reject the new gunpowder, which they consider useless to themselves. You must know that when firearms first appeared, it took decades for the Yuan army to gain large-scale popularity.

And now it seems that only a year has passed since the appearance of gunpowder, so it is not without reason that he was rejected by Li Jing and others. They hadn't been in contact with it, and they didn't know how to use gunpowder into their tactics, and this was why Qin Ze cultivated Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang, Xi Junmai, Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian...... These are the mainstays of the future Datang. Qin Ze put his hope on them, so that they could come into contact with gunpowder from the beginning, so that one day the application of gunpowder would appear on a large scale in the war of the Tang Dynasty. Instead of today, the highest-end was nothing more than a tiny powder bullet.

Qin Ze wanted a musket, and he wanted artillery......

However, Qin Ze and Li Jing couldn't say this truth, but he had time to slowly prove that as long as they could see the great power of gunpowder, they would eventually recognize it.

But as for now, Qin Ze can only say something.

"The reason why I chose to attack at night is because once Sunihar finds out about the enemy attack, I will definitely guess that it is aimed at him. Therefore, he will send a large number of people to protect himself, so that if he is in the sky, it is easy to find his traces. ”

Qin Ze looked at Li Jing and Xu Shiji, and said slowly: "The power of gunpowder is definitely not only that, in fact, if it was used properly, the Turks would have already perished. Because no matter how good the weapon is, or no matter how brave the soldier, there is no strength to fight back in the face of gunpowder. ”

"It is undeniable that the only people who will use gunpowder bullets in the army now are the soldiers who went out from Qin's nephew. For these veterans such as me, it is very rusty. Xu Shiji said with a smile.

"Everything must be accepted slowly, and the soldiers who left my command at the beginning are now scattered all over the barracks. Why didn't Uncle give them a chance? ”

At the beginning of the battle in Lingzhou City, there were not a few soldiers who escaped. Qin Ze promised Li Er to train him an army that could really use gunpowder. And now those people have been scattered in various military camps, and the spark can start a prairie fire, of course, provided that Li Jing and they are willing to light this fire themselves.

In fact, Li Jing and Xu Shiji came here to find out whether gunpowder was feasible, and now their goal has been achieved. And Qin Ze's purpose was also achieved, and the gunpowder once again shocked the court.

The good news was transmitted back to Chang'an, and Qin Ze's name appeared again in the court. The person who had been silent for a year finally returned, along with a few big gifts sent back by Qin Ze.

The famous Turkic general Kang Sumi surrendered with the former Empress Xiao and the puppet King of Sui!

The jade seal of the country is about to arrive in Chang'an in the near future!

Sunihar was executed, and the Sixth Army was about to launch an onslaught on the Turks!

As soon as the three pieces of news came out, those Wenchens who were still thinking about suppressing Qin Ze immediately shut up.

Because every time Qin Ze appeared in the court, it meant that he brought supreme glory to Datang. In the face of this glory, any condemnation from them pales in comparison.

But what makes people feel even more powerless is that Qin Ze is very smart. He knew that he couldn't take all the credit, so Su Dingfang, Li Jing, and Xu Shiji shared the credit.

But this also means that if these Wenchen want to suppress Qin Ze, they must target the three generals at the same time!

As a result, the ministers above the court could only choose to keep their mouths shut.

It's good for them to keep their mouths shut, Qin Ze is most annoyed by these people. At the beginning of the battle of Lingzhou City, he resisted the fear of burning the enemy army alone, so he found a step for these ministers.

No way, who made their existence so that's what it is?

And this time, Qin Ze also found a step for them, he wanted to protect Princess Yicheng. They are all elite Wenchen, and they naturally know how to advance and retreat. For a while, they all crusaded against Qin Ze with righteous words, and in the end, Li Er also judged with a regretful face: "The merits and demerits are offset, and they will not be investigated for the time being." ”

In this way, Wenchen also reflected the value of his existence, and Li Er also expressed his attitude.

Everyone's happy!

Even if the eight words acquiesced to the existence of Princess Yicheng, Qin Ze was relieved when he got the news.

wanted to tell Suyi the good news, but he didn't want to get close to someone's tent, so he was stopped by Qiuqiu.

"Young master, the master mother said that you are not allowed to come near these days."

The corners of Qin Ze's mouth twitched, and after all, he could only go back dejectedly.

But soon Qin Ze put his mind on Jieli, this guy should still be holding the Doom Festival on the Watuer grassland, and I don't know if he has completely harvested the white stacks in the past ten days.

It's just that it doesn't matter what, it only takes five days to get from Suni to the Watur grassland. The Sixth Route Army has been assembled, and Jieli has been completely surrounded.

But as soon as Sunihar was defeated, the Turkic envoy came to the tent.

Jieli decided to send him to Chang'an to apologize to Tang Taizong and ask for surrender, expressing his willingness to attach himself to the country.

The two armies fought without slashing, although Qin Ze and they knew that Jieli was not well-intentioned. But he still didn't send troops for the time being, and he also sent his stubborn strength to Chang'an.

After all, there are still hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers on the Vathur steppe, and it is not so easy to break through. Li Jing: They also need time to prepare.
