"Are you really that confident?" Su Dingfang couldn't help but whispered to me. "Brother Tai, you can see that the power of Tiance's cannon will be far stronger than you imagined." I only told Su Dingfang this sentence, and rode towards the camp of my troops.

All the soldiers have arrived at the camp, and are sorting out and building the camp tents, each busy with their own work, as for Yuan Tiangang and other Taoist leaders, there is already a special team to set up the camp tent for them, and now these famous doctors are busy preparing their respective work, but Liushuang is not here, she is at the other end, is in the academy artillery regiment, busy with a group of bigwigs, directing those people to carefully unload the barrels full of gunpowder, Gunpowder was transported to a gunpowder storage site made of logs, windowless on all sides and only with a main entrance.

Liushuang had already seen me, raised his hand and wiped his face: "Fang Gongzi, there are several gunpowder kegs that show signs of damage, because they are wrapped in a large amount of oiled paper and cotton, so the gunpowder in them is not damp, but if you don't deal with it, it won't be usable at that time...... Why are you staring at my face all the time? Seeing that I was staring at her in a daze, Liushuang began to frown again, putting on a vicious posture.

I smiled helplessly, and pointed to my face and then to the frost, her pink cheeks covered in a black ash mark from the action she had just wiped her sweat. Liushuang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wiped her face with her hand again, and now, a fierce scar appeared on her pink and tender left face like two daggers, well, it can add to her fierceness, but it makes people feel funny no matter how they look at it.

"Here's for you." I took out the silk scarf and handed it to Flowing Frost to make a gesture, and Flowing Frost came to her senses, whispered, and ran quickly to the side, and the gang of people looked over with a strange smile on their faces. This group of ruffians, is this beautiful girl Liushuang what they see? I glared at the tiger's eyes and shouted loudly, "What are you doing? Nothing to do? Don't hurry up and work for General Ben, tell you, Ming, our Datang Military Academy Artillery Regiment will be the main force attacking Xuansu City, when the time comes, if anyone dares to slack off, it's best not to wait for General Ben to do it, dig a pit and bury yourself, do you hear clearly? ! ”

"No! My lord, let us go first? "An artilleryman couldn't help but be overjoyed." Well, I have sorted out everything for me today, understand, let those people take a good look at the majesty of our Datang artillery. "I loudly encourage these heroic soldiers, tomorrow will be their first battle.

---------------------------------------------------- the sun is shining, there is only a trace of white clouds hanging in the sky at the far end of the sky, the open space in the west of Xuansu City has been covered by the Tang Dynasty soldiers with armor and helmets, countless Tang army battle flags fluttering in the wind, the Chinese army has erected a high platform, on the high platform, a Tang blood dragon flag is waving in the wind, Uncle Li Ji is standing on it, looked coldly at the towers of Xuansu City within sight.

The artillery regiment of the Datang Military Academy lined up the hundred mortars brought by the Tang Military Academy at eight hundred steps in front of the west gate of Xuansu City, the shiny barrels glowed with a cold metallic light, and the artillery who were ready to fire were already in their positions, and in front of them were eight thousand Tang infantry and crossbowmen. As for the cavalry, they were all assigned to the two flanks, far from the artillery positions, and I didn't want the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to be frightened by the sound of their own artillery and scatter on all sides.

And fifty meters behind the mortar position, there are five guns that are not quite the same as mortars, and the barrels themselves weigh a thousand pounds, they belong to real artillery, the charge and range, as well as the power of the shells are several times that of mortars, and the danger of using the same cannon is very high. But Flowing Frost was standing right in front of the gun in the middle, directing the gunners in the final clean-up.

Looking at the slender figure busy there, I was a little worried, but this was the battlefield, not my back garden, so I could only force myself to look away. I stood in front of the artillery position, raised the telescope and carefully looked at the location of the tower at the head of the city, where there were a lot of Goguryeo generals, who were pointing nervously towards this side, and from time to time there were heralds running down the tower with flags, it seemed that these guys were very nervous, and they didn't understand what the army of the Tang Dynasty wanted to do?

I and my colleagues in the academy are inspecting their work, and today, I am not going to use any secret weapon other than artillery, I believe that with these artillery guns being assembled, as long as there is enough ammunition, it will definitely be able to easily destroy Xuansu City.

Behind him, with more than ten team leaders of the military academy such as Xi Junmai, Duan Yunsong and Xue Rengui, each of them has the potential to become a famous general, at least the development prospects of the previous three people are the best, as for Li Yexu and the six uncles, I don't dare to have too much hope.

"My lord, when will the attack begin, do you want the last general to go and invite the army to fight? We've wasted a lot of time, and if we don't take any action, I'm afraid that others will think that the soldiers of our academy are cowardly. "Li Yexu's enthusiasm for war is very high, and the so-called military spirit is available. I nodded, looked at him with a gentle smile and said, "Captain Li! ”

Li Yexu raised his eyebrows and clenched his fists loudly, and promised loudly: "The end will be." The generals on the side of the eyes seemed to be very sorry for not asking for war just now and not getting the first credit.

However, Li Yexu was completely dumbfounded by my next words, and the guys above who regretted it just now almost laughed.

"General Duan, give me the microphone." I stretched out my hand to Duan Yunsong, and Duan Yunsong immediately handed the exaggerated copper shouting microphone into my hand.

"Ben ordered you to take this, go forward and shout, tell the Goguryeo people in Xuansu City, and tell them to surrender immediately within the time of a pillar of incense! Otherwise, they will all be crushed by this general on top of the castle tower! What are you doing staring at General Ben, why don't you go quickly? I glared back at Li Yexu, who was staring at me in a daze.

"Isn't it, sir, you let me go by myself? Still holding such a thing......" Li Yexu said with a resentful face.

I said very seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, don't go quickly, don't shout with this thing, do you want to go under the city wall to suffer the other party's cold arrows?" You don't have to shout for a long time, just shout ten sentences! However, it must be heard by those on the towers. There was no room for negotiation in my tone, and Li Yexu could only reluctantly accept the order, and rode on a horse with a big horn and ran towards the city.

"I said sister-in-law, oh no, Lord Fang, can such shouting be useful? Don't say it's Goguryeo, even we don't believe it. Cheng Chuliang squeezed over and said suspiciously, he definitely didn't believe that I would just climb to the tower of Xuansu City to perform a big living person.

"It's strange that they can believe it, I just hope that they will obediently stay on the city gate and wait for death." I smirked, this is psychological warfare, they must be wondering who is so arrogant, then they will obediently stay until the moment when our cannons roar, but by then it will be too late for them to run.

----------------------------------------------------Because Datang has lined up the military formation so far, in terms of the current level of equipment production, there is no long-range weapon with a range of 1,000 steps, unfortunately, I have.

Li Yexu's shouting provoked the ridicule of the Goguryeo people, and he came to me to pay the order under the expression of schadenfreude of the generals. "Yes, Li Duwei can endure what ordinary people can't bear, Nai Liang general, after a while of shelling, look at my Lingqi, you will become the first Tang general to set foot in Xuansu City." At this moment, Li Yexu finally forgot all about the unpleasant meeting just now, and hurriedly ran to his own team after receiving the order proudly, preparing for the attack for a while.

Duan Yunsong reminded me: "My lord, all the artillery is in place, please give the order." ”

"Very good, the first three cannons are all aimed at that city tower, one chance to use grenades, the fourth cannon starts, all use solid bullets, the same three consecutive shots, and solve the city gates of Xuansu City for me, Yun Song, whether my Tang artillery is powerful or not, it will be in one move." I said very solemnly to Duan Yunsong.

The green order flag was waved from my hand, and all the cannons immediately began to calculate the trajectory, adjust the firing range, reload the gunpowder, and load the shells, except for the busy artillery position, the whole open field was silent, and all the people, including the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo, looked at this piece, as if they wanted to understand what was going to happen, and when the red order flag was raised from my hand, a small red flag was raised on each gun position in response.

I looked at them, and waved the flag in my hand hard, at this moment, I suddenly felt all the sound and heartbeat disappear from my will, the roar of more than a hundred artillery pieces even gave me the illusion that the sky was trembling, the artillery position seemed to be engulfed in white smoke in the blink of an eye, and then, the piercing whistling sound finally made me hear the sound again, the gate of the city tower of Xuansu City rose with smoke and fire, the flames soared into the sky, and all kinds of debris flew all over the sky, Puffs of black smoke rose into the sky, and the sound of a violent explosion echoed an inferno hymn of blood and fire.

The six rounds of artillery bombardment lasted no more than a cup of tea, and the people who were nervous and afraid of the power of this unknown weapon seemed to have experienced a year, and most of them were stunned to see the artillery position where the smoke was gradually blowing away, and the artillerymen on the position, which were smoked and somewhat crooked, seemed to them to be terrible demons.

Uncle Li Ji and other generals had already stood up, holding binoculars and nervously observing the front, when the thick smoke and dust were blown away by the wind, what appeared in people's eyes was a miserable scene that they had never seen before......
