Following.

More than 10,000 private soldiers touched the mountains of Lantian County.

These people came to the mountains of Lantian County in batches and times four or five months ago.

In order to hide people's eyes, these people have been wild men in the mountains for nearly half a year.

For today!

The target location, they have long been familiar with, can no longer be familiar.

In the afternoon, they arrived without incident.

Looking at the army of nearly 10,000 people in front of him, the soldiers of the salt factory did not panic at all!

Seeing a gesture from the general, everyone began to act!

It turned out that Li Shimin had long been aware of the existence of these private soldiers and told the people here the news.

Li Shimin's will is that they usually don't have to pay too much attention to small fights.

Those who can be killed are killed on the spot, and those who run away don't have to chase them.

If their army gathers, there will be another pot!

The soldiers of the salt factory put special bombs into the trebuchets that had been prepared for a long time.

Ignition, launch!

"Boom ——!"

Before the family's private soldiers could get closer, they were engulfed in the explosion!

In addition to the inside of the col, there are also several trebuchets hidden in other directions.

It can be said that it is almost 360 degrees of firepower coverage without dead ends!

Even the private soldiers who were not killed by the first wave were engulfed by the bombs flying from behind them.

The bombardment lasted more than three minutes.

By the end of the day, less than 1,000 of the family's tens of thousands of private soldiers remained.

Throw away those who are seriously injured and dying or unable to move, there are really no more than 100 people!

And these people who survived were completely stupid......

He was stunned and forgot to run away......

The archers on the side of the salt mill went down with a few rounds of feathered arrows, and successfully sent them away.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the family's private soldiers were all wiped out!

The soldiers on the side of the salt factory cleaned up the battlefield and collected all the armor and weapons that the opponent could use.

When the general saw that it was also troublesome to dispose of so many corpses, he simply burned them on fire.

Outside the mountains.

Hearing the sound of thunder, I saw that there was a billowing black flame rising at this moment.

The hearts of the patriarchs of the family have completely cooled to the bottom......

After coming back to their senses, they took people out of Lantian County as soon as possible.

I didn't see what was going on, but I probably knew what was going on.

At this moment, they were completely panicked!

The reason why they suppressed Li Shimin before, in addition to the monopoly of knowledge and other factors, mainly relied on the private soldiers raised by each family.

After all, whoever has the biggest fist in these years can speak well.

But now, their fists don't work......

Although these 10,000 people are only a part of their private soldiers, the remaining ones are actually equivalent to being scrapped......

It's not as simple as losing a lot of money.

It literally pouted one of their arms!

This blow is enough to keep them honest for a long time......

Now the only thing they can console themselves with is the monopoly on knowledge.

Yes, we were indeed crushed by you Li Shimin in terms of force.

But the knowledge is still in our hands, and more than half of the officials in Datang are also our people.

Unless you, Li Shimin, are quite a bare-bones commander, you still can't do without us.

As long as we hold the knowledge firmly in our hands, this situation will not change in the future!

When he was in the evening, the news reached the palace.

Regarding the family's actions, Li Shimin was not surprised at all.

The only thing that makes him regret is that the family is too fucking cowardly.

"More than 10,000 people were thrown, these guys are really daring......"

The eldest grandson queen next to her was speechless for a moment.

If you had put this in the past, you wouldn't have had a headache for a long time......

Ever since the national teacher made this bomb, His Majesty has completely changed......

The family's toss is just a small episode.

After tasting the sweetness, Li Shimin asked Duan Lun to continue to work overtime to make bombs!

It's just that retaking Youzhou City is far from satisfying him!

The Weishui Alliance has always been a thorn in his heart!

Coupled with the Turks fighting the autumn wind on the border every year, it is time for Datang to give them some gifts!!

So Li Shimin found Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin and other henchmen and had a small meeting.

"I plan to attack the Turks in early winter." Li Shimin got straight to the point and said: "What do you think? ”

"Minister's approval!" Cheng Biting Jin immediately became energetic: "This time, let's give them a pot and never suffer in the future!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Wei Chigong arched his hand and said: "I just haven't enjoyed it before!" ”

Before retaking Youzhou Station, they basically played soy sauce the whole time.

This makes them very unhappy!

This is called a war, it's clearly watching a play!

Of course, the most important thing is that they didn't let them go in person......

Watching Li Tai and his people 'firing guns' there, their hands are itchy......

This time to fight the Turks, I have to be cool myself!

Li Jing opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What do you think about the pharmacist?" Li Shimin glanced at him: "But it's okay to say it." ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Jing arched his hand: "The power of this bomb is indeed amazing, but the trebuchet is still a little bulky after all." It's easy to say that if you attack the city, but the Turks don't have walls. The effect of this bomb against cavalry is far less good than imagined. ”

I have to say that Li Jing is a real cow.

It was only this time that the drawback of the bomb was seen - the lack of maneuverability.

If it is in the open grassland battlefield, the power of this thing will be greatly reduced.

"There is some truth in what the pharmacist said." Li Shimin nodded.

The Turks usually lived in the form of tribes, and did not hit in one place.

Unless there are enough trebuchets and bombs to surround the entire Turkic world.

And this, obviously, is impossible.

"Your Majesty, the minister also feels that this is not the best time to send troops." Fang Xuanling spoke: "With the preliminary preparations, when it comes to the Turks, I'm afraid it's already winter." Fighting in winter is very bad for my soldiers. ”

"It's a long way to the Turks, and this grain and grass is also a big problem." Du Ruhui added: "If this problem is not solved, it is difficult to send troops." ”

If you want to fight the Turks this time, you will definitely not need only 350,000 people.

The food and grass for so many people is not a small amount.

The grain and grass in Youzhou before was finally put together.

Unless taxes are increased in exchange for grain and grass, it is obviously impossible for Li Shimin to do so.

"Auxiliary, what do you think?" Li Shimin turned his head to look at the eldest grandson Wuji.

"The minister thinks that he can wait until the beginning of spring next year to send troops." The eldest grandson Wuji replied: "First, when the time comes, the potatoes will be almost multiplied, and the problem of a large part of the military food can be solved, and the grass will grow up at that time, and the forage for the horses will also be solved." The second is that the method of steelmaking has been almost experimented, and the armament of the soldiers will be stronger at that time. ”

"And the new steelmaking method has succeeded?" Li Shimin suddenly became energetic: "How is it exactly?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand and said: "The output is twenty times that of before, as for this quality, it is better for Your Majesty to see it personally." ”

Saying this, the eldest grandson Wuji took off the sword at his waist.
