After thinking about it, Zhao Xun continued: "There will be a loud noise for a while, I suggest you cover your ears." After all, I have never touched this kind of thing, so Zhao Xun still explained first.

However, except for Su Ziyan and a few who covered their ears, the rest of the people didn't care. They didn't believe it could scare them if they were so far away.

Wei Dong took out the fire fold and lit the fuse, and as soon as the fuse caught fire, a puff of smoke came out, making a sizzling sound, and it burned at an extremely fast speed. Wei Dong was originally a little unimpressed, but he was also shocked to see that the fuse wrapped in black powder burned so quickly.

Hurriedly began to pull his legs and ran to the rear, fortunately, this time it was a test explosion, for safety and other reasons, Chen Kefu's fuse was also long. Therefore, there was enough time for Wei Dong to evacuate.

After waiting for a while, suddenly there was a loud thunder on the ground, and I only heard a "bang", and suddenly a burst of fire flashed three hundred meters away, and a burst of smoke rose into the sky.

Although they were three hundred meters away, everyone was startled by the sudden loud noise. At this time, the generals understood why Zhao Xun asked them to cover their ears, and I have to say that the voice was really loud.

Zhao Xun ran to the explosion site with some excitement to watch, and the success of this time also showed that black powder could be officially used as a conventional weapon.

When I looked closer, I saw that the clay pot had already been torn apart, and the broken fragments were scattered everywhere, and the farthest ones flew three feet away. The open space where the pots were placed was dug out of the flat ground with a hole nearly two feet deep and three feet wide.

Above the entire explosion, there was a cloud of black smoke. This is also where black powder is difficult to avoid, and the smoke is too great. If used on a large scale, it will bring choking smoke. Of course, this will only cause damage to the enemy.

"It's not a small sound!" In the crowd, someone muttered quietly.

"It's not a small power!"

"Lord, is this the bomb you said?" Bao Muyang said with a look of surprise. However, a clay pot, filled with some black noodles, has such a great effect, and the pit on the ground is the best proof, which is extremely beneficial to the defender of the city.

Not only Bao Muyang, but also other generals and lieutenants also understood what would happen if such a clay pot exploded in a dense enemy formation on the battlefield.

If such a clay pot goes down, it will definitely kill and maim several people. Especially the fire when this thing exploded, the thunderous sound, if it exploded in the cavalry, then even a well-trained war horse would be in a panic.

This thing is so valuable, compared to those oil clay pots and fireballs when defending the city in the past, it can't be compared at all.

The eyes of everyone present lit up, staring at the clay pot on the ground. As warriors, they naturally also thought about the impact of this thing, which was definitely a killing weapon.

"My lord, what's the name of this thing? Is it convenient to make zuò? Bao Muyang immediately asked. As a leading general, he naturally thought of the combat aspect, especially now that the Su Mo Ya Department is besieging Andong City, according to the intelligence, the Liaozhou Mansion and the Su Mo Jing Tatar headquarters are still constantly turning south The army is preparing to annihilate the Xiaoguo Army of the Eastern Expedition and recover the territory seized by the Xiaoguo Army.

This thing in front of me is indeed a sharp weapon, but if it is difficult to make zuò and cannot reach a certain amount, then it is the same as trebuchets and bed crossbows, it can only pray for a specific effect, and I have a wide range of applications. Maybe it's not even as good as a crossbow machine. Although the large crossbow machine is difficult to make, and many people have to be operated at one time, but the crossbow machine can be used for a long time, and this thing in front of me has a lot of momentum, but it is a consumable, not even as good as ordinary feather arrows. The feather arrow was shot, and some of it could be recovered, and when this thing rang out, it was torn apart.

"Hmm...... This thing is like thunder, so let's call him Thunder. For the Shang Ya Army, the custody made them frightened. This thing still needs to be improved, it can be used to break cities, it can be used to kill enemies. ”

"As for making zuò, as long as there is no shortage of raw materials, it is not a problem. Ten days ago, I sent an order to Youzhou to start buying everything other than charcoal on a large scale to save it. Anyway, this thing doesn't have much effect on other people, and it's not a valuable item. There will be no shortage in the future. ”

"Also, this earth-shattering thunder is not difficult to say, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult, but there is a certain danger in it. In addition, confidentiality is a top priority. Once discovered, there is a high chance that someone else will copy it. Therefore, in the future, there will be a guard battalion responsible for the secrecy work of this earth-shattering thunder, and whoever leaks the secret will be killed! ”

"The one you saw just now is a ten-pound sky-shaking thunder, and the movement is very big, but against those enemies with armor, the effect is still not too strong. However, we can increase the amount of gunpowder to solve this problem, and I plan to make a gunpowder bag of 20 catties each, which will be easy to carry and more powerful when the time comes. And we can also make a small amount of 30 catties, 40 catties, or even 50 catties of gunpowder, and then we will definitely let the northern barbarians taste the power of our Xiaoguo army. In addition, you can also add some discarded scraps of broken copper and iron to it, and after exploding, it will definitely make people unable to eat and walk around. ”

The first clay pot worked so well that the generals were also full of expectations for this gunpowder.

Next, these continued to explode several times, there were twenty catties each, thirty catties each, and the largest forty catties a clay pot. The effect of the explosion can really be regarded as shaking the ground.

A wooden barrel filled with 40 catties of black gunpowder had a diameter of nearly four zhang in diameter, and the crater in the center was more than three feet deep. And the horse that was specially brought and bolted to the barrel was even more directly blown up and the flesh and blood were blurred, the intestines were rotten, and even the entire horse's head was blown off, and the horse's blood and intestines flowed all over the ground.

In addition, one of them was also ironclad, and the result was that it bloomed on all sides, and the defense was everywhere within a few feet.

For such a result, no one has the slightest doubt about these new weapons of black powder newly named Heaven-Shaking Thunder. Everyone is extremely looking forward to seeing these gunpowders play a greater role in the battle with the Evil Warrior Army in the future.

While letting the guards deal with the cleaning of the explosion test site, these people were smiling and preparing to return to the city.

Not long after entering the city, a piece of news came that was unfavorable to the Xiaoguo army, but now that there was an explosives bag, Zhao Xun was not afraid.

"Report to the lord, the scout has news that another 80,000 troops have arrived in Andong City in the afternoon."

Zhao Xun frowned slightly, and said, "In this way, Andong City will be surrounded on all sides tonight, and the Su Mo Yan Sect has also made up its mind to annihilate us all." ”

"Wei Chen, immediately ordered the craftsman to make a camp, and began to make zuò explosives bags, mainly twenty catties and thirty catties, which were mixed with iron filings and marbles. The more the merrier, the faster the merrier. However, it must be remembered that you must not be careless, and you must be careful to make zuò. This thing is very dangerous, as you have seen before, if something happens, there will be a big explosion. ”

"The process of grinding, mixing, air-drying, and making finished products must be far separated. In this way, buy all the five mansions around the General's Palace. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, whether you can solve the Yan Ya Army depends on the next few days. Therefore, you should be strict with yourselves and not be careless. ”

"Obey!"

Looking at the backs of the generals leaving, Zhao Xun said lightly: "Su Mo Yan Ministry, this time your department is my gunpowder sacrifice, and it is also the beginning of my Xiaoguo Army's official shock to the northern barbarians." ”

Looking at Zhao Xun, who was full of confidence, Su Ziyan said worriedly: "Brother Zhao, although this gunpowder is powerful, can it really beat the hundreds of thousands of Yan Yan troops who are about to converge outside the city?" ”

Zhao Xun pinched Su Ziyan's little nose and said with a smile: "What?" Still not convinced by my words? We'll see. ”

Immediately, the entire Xiaoguo army began to get busy, strengthening the city defenses, strengthening the defective places of the city, and storing stones and rolling logs on the city walls. And the left side of General Zhao Xun's mansion also began to get busy, and one by one the tofu-like explosive packages were made out and stored separately.

According to Zhao Xun's instructions, the storage place, processing place, and finished product place of raw materials are separated, and they will never be too close to each other, let alone close together.

In the afternoon, 50,000 soldiers and 30,000 slave soldiers appeared outside the city of Andong and joined up with the 50,000 army under the city, totaling 130,000 troops, completely blocking the city on all sides. However, fortunately, the siege of the city was not launched immediately, but it still made the faces of the people in the city heavy.

The war is coming, and even the Han people, who usually have smiles on their faces, are beginning to be strict at this moment. Everyone knows that once the Yan army captures this city, the people in the city will definitely not have any good results. And the 30,000 soldiers of the baggage battalion of the Yan Ya army were also very nervous, and at this moment, no matter how much they hated the Xiaoguo army, they didn't want the Xiaoguo army to be defeated. Even if they don't die, they will be reduced to a dead slave camp and become slave soldiers if they fall into the hands of begging for help.

Feng Meng, the governor of Jizhou, decisively followed the meaning of Xiaoguojun, and bluntly said that the turmoil in Youzhou was due to the false edicts of some officials who were dismissed by the imperial court, and only then did something that made the relatives hate the enemies happy, which is equivalent to pulling a fig leaf for the imperial court. As a result, the imperial court also reciprocated, and Feng Meng was still the governor of Jizhou, but he was reprimanded by the imperial court.

But the indisputable thing is that the Xiaoguo army occupied the five northern prefectures of Jizhou, and had no intention of withdrawing the army at all, but implemented the new policy and expanded the army on a large scale, which had a great intention of killing Luoyang.

It seems that Feng Meng is covering up, and the imperial court seems to be dissatisfied with the Xiaoguo army's private occupation of northern Hebei, and bluntly said that the Xiaoguo army does not respect the imperial court. even reprimanded, as for the original reward, he also threw it aside, and even announced Zhao Xun's threat letter, which caused an uproar in the world for a while.

Although the threat was issued from the Xiaoguo Army, the Xiaoguo Army would not admit it, why? My Xiaoguo army is still fighting with the Yan Army, you said that we sent it, who believes it? Frame Zhongliang...... All of a sudden, the wind went in both directions......
