Chapter 953: The First Northern Expedition III
The night was cold, windy and snowy.
Under the city pass.
In the camp of the Wu army, all the generals have gathered together, tonight is the night of the city break planned by Sun Quan, they have already fought early, and they are all waiting for Sun Quan's order.
But now that it is the time of the child, Sun Quan has never moved, and they can't sit still.
"Your Majesty, when exactly are we going to start the siege?" Lu Bu's burly body stood up, looked at Sun Quan with tiger eyes and asked.
"No hurry, waiting!"
Sun Quan was wearing battle armor, holding the hilt of the seven-star Longyuan sword at his waist, sitting firmly on the top of the camp tent, closing his eyes and recuperating, waiting quietly.
He's waiting for the big weapon to come.
"Zilong, what do you say Your Majesty is waiting for?"
Sun Ce, who was standing on the side of the sand table, was also a little breathless, his eyes looked at Sun Quan's henchman Zhao Yun and asked in a low voice: "I really can't think of any sharp weapon that can break the city overnight?" ”
"Don't ask me, I don't know!"
Zhao Yun was also confused now, he turned to look at Lei Ding, the commander of the Praetorian Guard: "Commander Lei, you are Your Majesty's personal guard, and you are always by Your Majesty's side, do you know how Your Majesty broke the city?" ”
"General Zilong, this time you asked the wrong person, to be honest, I don't know!"
Lei Ding smiled bitterly.
He only vaguely knew that Sun Quan was holding an invincible weapon in his hand, but he didn't know what it was, and his character was something that Sun Quan didn't say, and he never asked.
"This Yangping Pass City has thick walls, and there are tens of thousands of elite Wei troops in the city, it is really difficult to attack, and if you want to break the city overnight, I look at it!" Gan Ning looked at the outside of the camp. The outline of that closed city became a little unconfident.
"I don't think so, I believe that Your Majesty has unexpected means, the Pujia Pass was strong enough, there are still 100,000 elite guards in the city pass, and in the end, it is not for Your Majesty to break through the city overnight!"
Among the generals here. With the latest qualifications, Chen Zhi, who has always been taciturn, suddenly said out loud.
"The breakthrough at the beginning relied on the sudden surprise attack of the Tianpeng Army!" Lu Bu said: "The terrain of Yangping Pass and Pujia Pass is not the same, and the Tianpeng Army does not have the height to land!" ”
"At the beginning, I was afraid that you would not have imagined that there would be a Tianpeng Army, how did you know that Your Majesty has no other means of magic now!"
Chen Zhi said lightly.
"That's right!"
When the generals heard this, their expressions were slightly stunned, and they suddenly felt a little ashamed in their hearts.
Why be ashamed?
This is no longer speculation of some means, this is a kind of trust.
As the high-ranking generals of the Wu army, they did not fight side by side with Sun Quan for a day or two, and most of them were Sun Quan's confidants and favorite generals. It's really shameful that a general has no trust in Sun Quan.
"Alright, don't talk about it!"
Sun Quan opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Since I said that the city will be broken tonight, if I can't break the city, I should give you an explanation, and now wait quietly." Recharge your batteries, and the second half of the night will be a battle! ”
Breaking through the city is the first step. There are still tens of thousands of elite Wei troops in the city, and only after destroying them can they quickly move north.
"No!"
The generals nodded, fell silent, and waited quietly.
"Your Majesty, something has been escorted!"
At this time, Li Ne, the governor of Jinyiwei, opened the camp tent from the outside. walked in and whispered to Sun Quan.
For the sake of this batch of things, he did not hesitate to personally return to Jingzhou with the elite wrestlers of Jinyiwei to greet him and personally escort them into Hanzhong.
"Where?"
When Sun Quan heard this, his expression suddenly became a little excited.
"Partial camp!" "The journey was safe. No surprises! ”
"Well done!"
Sun Quan looked overjoyed, looked at Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Sun Ce, and said, "Don't you want to know how I broke the city, come with me!" ”
"Yes!"
The generals were suddenly a little curious, and one by one they walked out of the middle camp with Sun Quan, and in the wind and snow, they walked into a side camp.
"Weichen Ge Xuan, meet Your Majesty!"
In the tent, the craftsmen led by Ge Xuan saw Sun Quan walk in and hurriedly saluted.
"No need to be polite, is everything here?" Sun Quan's gaze passed over Ge Xuan's figure and looked at the wooden boxes piled up in the camp tent.
This box carries a black powder bomb that is ahead of its time.
"Hmm!"
Ge Xuan nodded: "Your Majesty, this is the result of this period of time in our workshop, all of them add up to a total of fifty boxes, sixteen in each box, adding up to eight hundred, but this is only a batch of experimental products, and only about eighty percent of them can be successfully detonated!" ”
"Open it and let me see!"
"Yes!"
One by one, the craftsmen opened the wooden boxes, and then peeled open the straw, revealing the black round bombs the size of two fists inside.
"What the hell is this?"
"Somewhat obedient!"
"I smell pungent like this?"
"Can this thing break a city?"
The generals looked at the things exposed in the wooden box, and their expressions became puzzled.
"I see, this should be thunder!" Lu Bu's expression was solemn: "The Heavenly Master Alliance has never passed on weapons, and it is said that even masters like Zuo Ci will suffer when facing them!" ”
"Thunder?"
The generals gasped, they were all martial arts practitioners, and there were some rumors about the unique weapons of the Heavenly Master Alliance.
"Ge Xuan, how powerful is this batch of thunderbolts?"
Sun Quan's heart moved, raised his head, stretched out his hand, pointed in the direction of Yangping Pass, and asked in a deep voice: "There is a city pass outside, do you have the confidence to blow them up?" ”
Ge Xuan followed Sun Quan's fingers, looked at the city pass in the distance, thought about it in his heart, and then replied: "Your Majesty, if you want to blow up this city pass, the chance of success is very high, but the fuse of the thunder is not good, it needs to be improved, and there may be some accidents!" ”
"Accident?" Sun Quan squinted: "You mean it doesn't blow up?" ”
"Lord, look at the craft of detonation!" Ge Xuan said.
"Who's going to detonate it?"
Sun Quan began to ask for details.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has decided that this time it will be up to me to detonate it personally!" Ge Xuan said in a deep voice: "All the craftsmen here are not as skilled as me, I am most familiar with this batch of thunderstorms, and I will have a better chance of success if I personally detonate it!" ”
"No way!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately shook his head and said objectively: "This is too dangerous, you are the chief master craftsman of the Thunder Thunder Research, and you can't do anything." ”
In the history of the Republic of China, there was a great inventor who studied airplanes, didn't he die because he tested his own plane?
That can't happen to him.
If there is no more thing, it can be recreated, but if there is no person, it will be difficult to find another skilled person with this ability.
"Your Majesty, I will pay attention to safety, only if I personally detonate this batch of thunderstorms, I will know where they need to be improved!" Ge Xuan said insistically.
"I can promise you anything, but not at this point!"
Sun Quan didn't have any room for negotiation on this point: "You should know very well that today's Heavenly Thunder has no research success at all, you are irreplaceable, and I can't take risks!" ”
"Your Majesty, Wechen will ......"
"Say no more!"
Sun Quan waved his hand and told him very firmly: "Anyone can detonate it, but you can't!" ”
"Alright then, I'll watch!" Ge Xuan looked at Sun Quan's determined expression, took a step back, and said.
"This one can be!"
Sun Quan nodded, and asked again: "Then who will preside over the detonation, if there is no craftsman to preside, our soldiers will personally detonate it, this thing will definitely hurt us." ”
"Your Majesty, I'll preside over the detonation!"
A craftsman walked out and said.
"What's your name?" Sun Quan looked at the young craftsman and asked.
"Weichen Li Ming!" The young craftsman is not very old, and his demeanor is a little sven: "Born in Jinling Academy!" ”
"Your Majesty, he is one of my deputies, except for me, he is the person who has the deepest study of the thunder, he is also a master of mathematics, and his attainments in the number of weights are among the best in the entire Great Wu!" Ge Xuan said introductoryly.
The weight is also the Arabic numeral, after Sun Quan shamelessly plagiarized, he also unashamedly pressed his name, and it became the number of weights that circulate today.
The emergence of weights makes numbers simple, and naturally derives the discipline of mathematics, physics and chemistry, although Jinling Academy is not as good as Jiangdong Academy, but it is the first academy to open science classes.
"Li Ming, these thunder fuses are not good, they may be injured when they are detonated, are you afraid?" Sun Quan looked at the young man and asked in a harmonious voice.
"Report to Your Majesty. Wechen is not afraid! ”
Li Ming shook his head, and a somewhat crazy smile appeared on his natural face: "Sage: It's okay to die at night!" This is the result of our painstaking research, and I hope to shine with them myself, even if it is worth dying under it! ”
When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't help but pout.
This is the typical scientific spirit of later generations!
Many people say that scientists are crazy, and it is not unreasonable that they can give up everything in their pursuit of spiritual satisfaction.
"Gan Ning!" Sun Quan began to point to the general.
"The last general!" Gan Ning stepped forward.
"Yangpingguan you are most familiar with, you lead eight hundred soldiers, assist Li Ming, and place the thunder, the thunder is a dangerous thing, not only can hurt the enemy, but also hurt people, these craftsmen are more familiar than the soldiers under your command, you listen to him, he says what to release, how to release!" Sun Quan said instructively.
"No!"
Gan Ning nodded, such a dangerous thing, he was reluctant to let him get it.
"Map!"
"In!"
"Li Ming, you are optimistic, this is the two gaps I have drawn, your task is to use these thunderbolts to blow them up, can you do it?"
Sun Quan pointed to the two city walls on the left and right on the map and asked.
"Your Majesty, Wechen promises to complete the task!"
Li Ming's eyes bloomed with a touch of essence, and he said resolutely. (To be continued.) )
