What Zhao Gu said was naturally a bomb. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Regarding the power of the bomb, Hu Yanzan had been to Shuozhou City, and his senses were the most direct, and when he heard Zhao Gu mention it, he immediately pricked up his ears, looking eager to try.

Pan Mei and Yang Yanzhao glanced at each other, they were a little surprised to each other, Hu Yanzan is famous for being not afraid of heaven and earth, what can make him value it so much?

Zhao Gu smiled, and then described the power of the bomb, and when Pan Mei and the three of them heard it, they were all shocked and unable to speak for a long time.

After a long time, Pan Mei asked: "Zhuozhou Guhou, is this thing really so powerful?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhao Gu assured.

Pan Mei nodded: "That's really good, then ask Zhuozhou Guhou to choose his own soldiers and make this thing with you." ”

Zhao Gu naturally didn't shirk and said, "I need a lot of black powder and iron balls. ”

With a wave of her hand, Pan Mei immediately asked the soldiers to go down to collect it, and by the evening of the same day, a cart of iron and black powder had been sent to the barracks.

The military camp is stationed on the mountainside fifty miles away from Huanzhou City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many caves on the mountain, which are just used to put black powder.

After the black powder arrived, Zhao Gu immediately selected two thousand soldiers and stepped up to make bombs.

The so-called bomb making is actually very simple, that is, pouring black powder into the iron ball on the drawings he draws, when the black powder burns violently and rags in the iron ball, it will produce a large air pressure, and then cause an explosion.

This kind of thing can even be done by the ordinary people of Shuozhou City at the beginning, let alone these two thousand soldiers.

Zhao Gu first divided them into two parties, one side specialized in making iron balls, and the other party was responsible for filling gunpowder.

After a night of production, by the next morning, 20,000 bombs had been built.

I have to say that compared with the strong cohesion of the army, the efficiency of the people of Shuozhou City is more than a step worse.

With 20,000 bombs, breaking Huanzhou City is just around the corner, but Pan Mei still suggested that it would be better to be safe, and Zhao Gu didn't say much, and led people to make 30,000 bombs again.

Pan Mei stopped and began to prepare for the siege.

When the sun rose, the Song army stepped on the horn of the charge and went straight to Huanzhou City.

As in general siege warfare, the Song army also used the ladder as the breakthrough point, used arrows to suppress the enemy, and then used heavy logs to storm the city gates.

This method of warfare is commonly known as the three methods of siege.

Of course, sometimes catapults, repeaters, etc. can also be used in siege cities, but these things have relatively high requirements for terrain and cannot be used anywhere.

But this time, Da Song played another effect under the usual attack tactics.

I saw that the Song soldiers carrying the ladder rushed to the foot of the city wall, but there were relatively few soldiers who climbed up, but the bottom of the ladder was crowded with people.

When the Liao army first saw it, they thought that the general on the Song army's side was a straw bag, and they almost laughed loudly.

However, is it really because the general is incompetent that Song Jun did this?

Not really.

On closer inspection, it turned out that these soldiers were huddled together to cover the soldiers in the middle, and these soldiers did not hold swords and spears, etc., but each of them carried a pile of black iron balls in their arms, and in the small hole of the iron ball, a lead stretched out.

When these soldiers reached the bottom of the city wall, they quickly stuffed the iron ball in their arms into the gap in the city wall, and after stuffing it, they began to flee without stopping for a moment.

The four walls of Huanzhou City are like this, the Song army launched a charge, tens of thousands of people rushed to the city wall, but in a blink of an eye, more than 2,000 people retreated.

The Liao army was greatly surprised, and did not know what they were doing, so for the sake of prudence, the Liao army began to throw stones and rolling logs to the place where the Song army focused on gathering.

However, it was too late, the year of the construction of the city wall of Huanzhou City was not short, the wind and the sun were blowing, naturally there were some gaps, and the stones or earthworks in many places had slight collapses, although these places were not big, it was more than enough to put a small iron ball, and it was effortless.

Just when the Liao army focused on the Song army who was climbing the ladder, more than 2,000 Song troops had already placed the thirty iron balls in their arms, and by the time the Liao army noticed them again, they had already fled.

Soon, the Liao army found that even the Song army on the cloud ladder and the lower part of the cloud ladder began to escape.

Even the Song soldiers, who carried heavy logs and hit the city gate, seemed to be in a hurry to reincarnate and left like the wind.

What's going on?

The Liao army was completely confused, could it be that the commander of the Song army was really a straw bag?

Standing not far from Huanzhou City, Zhao Gu, Pan Mei, Hu Yanzan, and Yang Yanzhao looked at each other and smiled, and said, "They may be scolding us for being stupid in their hearts." ”

Huyanzan laughed: "Then let us teach them what stupidity is." ”

Pan Mei nodded: "Order the fire." ”

Yang Yanzhao stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Release the arrow." ”

Hearing the order, the archers who had been waiting for a long time immediately fired thousands of arrows and released the rockets that had been prepared in advance.

The rain of arrows roared away in the sky, heading straight for Huanzhou City, which made the Liao army break out in a cold sweat, but soon they found that none of the so many rockets hit the city wall, and all of them were rooted in the city wall.

The Liao army was all good at horse archery, and they were about to laugh at it immediately, but they heard a sudden thunder sound, which shook their heads to the ground.

Immediately after, they found that the ground began to shake, and their bodies began to fall unnaturally until they were completely buried.

Before they died, these Liao soldiers hadn't figured it out, how could they be so good, and the city wall collapsed by itself?

The lucky Liao soldier who was not buried alive looked up and found that the place where he was standing had become a ruin, a ruin full of stones and earth.

Looking around, the city walls that originally surrounded Huanzhou City all collapsed! Only in a few places do there still some sections of the city wall sway in the wind.

These Liao soldiers were directly dumbfounded, and they couldn't figure out the situation at all.

With the same expression as them, there were also Liao troops in the city, they couldn't see the people outside the city at all, but after hearing a bang, the city walls that blocked their vision actually collapsed.

It only took a moment of incense before and after, and they could see the expression on the face of the soldier at the front of the Song army.

"Damn,!" At this time, I don't know who took the lead in shouting, and all the surviving Liao troops threw down their weapons and began to flee in Baotou.

As for the Song army outside the city, the shock was no less than that of the Liao army, they also did not expect the scene in front of them, if it weren't for the black balls they buried in, they would definitely think that they were hell.

How can anyone tear down a city in an instant?
