After reading the letters in the letterbag, Li Xiang understood why Li Jiancheng's men and horses did not enter the city, and he also understood what Li Yuan's idea was. The letter made it clear that Longmen City was bound to be won, but compared with those "above board" heroes, Li Yuan's methods always made people feel too shameless.

But there is still a lot of news in the letter, Li Xiang feels a little strange, it is said that Longmen City is Li Xiang's base camp, and every move in the city should be under his control, but there are many Li Yuan's hidden chess pieces in Longmen City, and even the shadow did not notice it, fortunately, he got the letter now, otherwise he really doesn't know what trouble will be in the future.

Knowing that there is an enemy and knowing who the enemy is are two completely different concepts, and now I only know that there is such a group of people hiding in Longmen City, but the letter is only mentioned in a few words, and it is not named and said that it is so-and-so, which is not easy to find. Since he has been able to hide for so long without revealing his feet, it will be a little difficult to find it in a day or two, and Li Xiang doesn't want to disrupt his current plan because of this matter.

After instructing Xia Yushan to cultivate the Gawazi well, Li Xiang waited for Qin Qiong's reply.

Before coming out of Qinxiang Pavilion, Li Xiang sent a letter to Qin Qiong, and it is estimated that the action has already begun over there. Sure enough, before Li Xiang had time to say a word to the heroes behind him, he only heard an earth-shattering loud noise, which shook as if the city walls were about to collapse, which shocked everyone.

Even Luo Yi, who was on the battlefield, couldn't help but ask, "Li Xiang, what kind of voice, how can it be so powerful?" ”

At first, everyone was shocked, but fortunately, it was just a matter of a moment, and after reacting, everyone felt that it must have been the earth dragon turning over just now, but Luo Yi asked, and everyone looked at Luo Yi with a little strange eyes, especially Dou Jiande and Gao Shida sneered openly.

Luo Yi had seen the world, and he was sure that the loud sound just now would definitely not be the earth dragon turning over, but like a huge hammer slamming on the ground, so seeing the contemptuous eyes of others, he looked down on others even more in his heart.

Li Xiang was prepared, but he himself was indeed taken aback, he really didn't expect that he had found a team in the research institute to study black powder technology, and he would be able to make such a big move. Originally, today he planned to show his strength in front of these bigwigs, show off his muscles, and let them know that he had to weigh his own ideas, and now he estimated that even he was shocked.

He didn't immediately go to explain to Luo Yi, but just smiled and said: "It's frightening everyone, it doesn't matter, it is estimated that Xiao Miao's people have just started to attack the city, and his subordinates are defending." As he spoke, he beckoned a soldier and told him to inquire about the city gate.

Everyone listened to the clouds, what does Xiao Mill's siege and your people's defense have to do with that loud noise, isn't this the donkey's lips not the horse's mouth? Just as he was about to ask, Li Xiang waved his hand with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, I know that you are going to break the casserole and ask to the end, so how about I ask someone to show it in front of you later?" However, I still want to remind you that you can only watch from a distance on the city wall, and it is easy to get into trouble if you are too close. ”

Li Xiang still didn't explain, but he hung up the curiosity of these people.

After a while, the soldiers who ran to inquire about the news came back to report that there was just a team of unknown men and horses at the south gate You Junda who was about to force their way into the city, and they were beaten away by General You, and then the men and horses with more than 700 people were ready to attack the city, and General You used the heavenly thunder cannon, which frightened them all with one shot, and now they are camped outside the south gate.

Li Xiang had quietly instructed this soldier to say it loudly when he came back to report, so that all those who had a heart could hear it clearly.

Sure enough, everyone is a caring person, as soon as the soldier finished reporting, someone asked what kind of thunder cannon, how could more than 700 people be frightened by a cannon, the chaotic crowd began to surround the soldier, and the soldier who made it looked embarrassed, I don't know whether to say it or not, so I had to look at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang had no choice but to step forward and relieve the siege and said: "Don't embarrass him, he doesn't know much, let's do it, I'll ask someone to cover it up here." Then he quietly settled the soldier, and the soldier quickly disappeared.

Everyone was confused, but they were a little nervous in their hearts, whether it was the loud noise just now, or the report of the soldiers later, or even Li Xiang's state of wanting to speak and stopping, all told them that Li Xiang must have some killer weapon here, and judging from the situation just now, this killer weapon must be very powerful, you must know that the army of 700 people does not seem to be much, but it is not easy to be shocked by a single shot.

Everyone was talking in a low voice with various moods, Li Xiang couldn't hear it, but he was sure that these people must be talking about the Heavenly Thunder Cannon. What is the Sky Thunder Cannon, to put it simply, it is the most primitive breech gun in later generations, with a fuse in the back, and a stone cannonball from the muzzle of the cannon.

Of course, Li Xiang's research on black powder is not to produce such a low-level guy, he has set his sights on the spear. In terms of power, even if Li Xiang's volunteer army is increasing by 10,000 people, it is only so much, even if all of them are special forces, they can't stand up to so many anti-kings in the Great Sui world.

So what he needs is an elite route, which needs to start with the equipment and weapons. In this regard, he has a natural advantage, he has a research institute, and with the information of later generations, he does not dare to guarantee that he will get out those advanced thermal weapons in the original, but at least he can get some of the simplest things. In this era, having a team that is hotly weaponized by the whole army is definitely a demonic existence, that's right, that's how Li Xiang planned it.

Everyone didn't have the heart to think about anything else, and now they were just waiting for the new thing in Li Xiang's mouth to appear. Who knows if you can't wait left or right, a few people couldn't bear it and asked anxiously: "Captain Li, you won't be fooling us, we've been waiting for almost half an hour, what kind of treasure is it, hurry up and take a look!" ”

Li Xiang shook his head and said: "Everyone, I'm sorry, blame me for not making it clear, this thing can't be used on the city tower, it's too strong and I'm afraid of hurting you, this won't let the soldiers be transported outside the city, it's good right away, it's good right away." Li Xiang smiled and apologized.

But the people did not look at him at all, and their eyes had already looked out of the city. I saw that not far from the city gate, there was a team of soldiers pushing three or two carts, and dozens of horses slowly walked into the distance. The car was covered with cloth, and I couldn't see what it was.

The more mysterious this is, the more curious people become, and immediately someone said: "Li Duwei, you are not kind, you said that you asked us to see the baby, but you secretly let people transport the baby out of the city, what does this mean!" ”

Luo Yi didn't speak, he vaguely felt as if he had guessed something, but he wasn't sure yet. Dou Jiande and Gao Shida were still talking quietly with their heads down, only Liu Wuzhou was frowning and thinking about things with his eyes closed.

Li Xiang waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, you will be fine immediately, you will be fine immediately." I just got the news that there is a forest five miles outside the city, and there is a group of people hidden in the forest, my people went to see it, not yours, so I plan to teach them a good lesson, I guess it is also Xiao Miao's people, and it just so happens that everyone will also watch the show. ”

Hearing Li Xiang say this, everyone stopped talking, anyway, Li Xiang said it to them, if you don't see it today, it's just right, and you will have a good talk with him in a while.

Seeing the team out of the city walking farther and farther, Liu Wuzhou suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Captain Li, I don't know how many people and horses are in the woods?" ”

"Not much, less than three thousand, more than two thousand." Li Xiang also looked at the team in the distance, although he said it easily, he was very nervous in his heart. After all, this is a real display of force, and it is also the first time to show the power of hot weapons, if it fails, his face is really a little unbearable, and he knows that less than 3,000 people are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, that is the Xuanjia Army, the first strong army of the Tang Dynasty in the history books, he went to such a team here, if there is no artillery, it is really a feeling of sheep in the mouth of a tiger, he doesn't want anything to happen to his subordinates.

"Captain Li, didn't you pour cold water on you, and watched it for a while, it seems that Captain Du just sent that small team of people, could it be that Captain Du has made arrangements in the woods?" Liu Wuzhou was thinking about this question just now, less than a hundred people died when they left the city, and the other party was more than 2,000, is this a war or a death!

Li Xiang said with a smile: "Thank you Liu Junshou for reminding me, Li Xiang also just learned where there are soldiers and horses, and there is no arrangement, but he is quite confident in his own team of soldiers, and two thousand people can't hurt them." Li Xiang seemed to be speaking very relaxed, but his tone was very arrogant.

Although everyone had some understanding of Li Xiang's ability after getting along for the past two days and the battle last night, Li Xiang's arrogance still made them feel overwhelmed.

A few people who couldn't suppress the fire had already begun to chatter, and what kind of yellow-mouthed children, shafts and the like had already been spoken. Li Xiang didn't hear it, and still looked out of the city with a spring breeze on his face, secretly cheering himself up in his heart, it must be done, it must be done.

Most people are blind, and when they don't know the truth, they tend to have a kind of self-knowledge resistance to unexpected things, and always feel impossible. But there are still a few people who have a clear understanding, such as Dou Jiande and Luo Yi.

Luo Yi vaguely guessed something, so he didn't react much when he heard Li Xiang's wild words. Dou Jiande was secretly observing Li Xiang's expression, and found that Li Xiang had been calm and comfortable, talking and laughing, as if this matter was a trivial matter at all, and he felt that it might really be as Li Xiang said, and it would happen unexpectedly. But he couldn't think of any confidence in it, so he looked at the lonely team with full questions.

The procession stopped three miles from the city, and then the three or two cars lined up, and a group of soldiers wearing striking red uniforms began to work in an orderly manner, removing the cloth from the cars, and adjusting the distance of the cars and the black iron pipes on the cars.

Everyone looked at it intently, not knowing what those things were for, and it was still more than two miles away from the woods, how could it stop, could it be so far away to fight?

Just under everyone's puzzled gaze, the leader of the team suddenly raised a small red flag, and with the arm waved down hard, everyone didn't react, and then there were three loud "dong dong" sounds, and a burst of rising smoke filled the air.
