Chapter 299: Where Are the Dead?
Zhu Hao was very satisfied with the effect of this demonstration.
He had previously conducted experiments on river beaches, and the amount of nitroglycerin was much smaller, and this was the first time that it was used as an executable exercise for actual combat.
"What do you think, sir?"
Zhu Hao looked at Tang Yin with a verifying gaze.
As Zhu Hao said, this thing is very powerful, and it is not something that ordinary Shengdou Xiaomin can manufacture, unless there is the approval of the Xingwang Mansion, and Zhu Hao does not want to hand over such a powerful weapon of destruction to the imperial court, so it must be explained that its manufacturing and transportation process is not easy, and it needs to be treated with caution.
Tang Yin hesitated for a moment.
The old scholar's resentful little eyes, when he looked at Zhu Hao, were incredulous, even envious and jealous.
This kid, how can he take out any good thing?
Luo An said eagerly: "Mr. Tang, do you want to report to King Xing immediately?" ”
Tang Yin nodded: "It is necessary...... In this way, Zhu Hao, you can go with us. ”
"Hmm."
Zhu Hao nodded indifferently.
When Luo An and the other guards looked at Zhu Hao, their eyes were full of appreciation and admiration, as if the haze brought by the thieves pressing the city in the past few days had disappeared with the previous explosion.
……
……
The Royal Study.
At this time, in addition to Zhu Youqing, the king of Xing, several main figures in the palace were there, including the three leaders of the Changshi Division, the Chengfeng Division, and the Honor and Guard Division.
Zhu Chen was called over temporarily, as for Zhang Zuo and Yuan Zonggao, they basically would not be absent when they encountered major events, and at the same time, Lu Song and Jiang Lun, who were guarding the city, plus Tang Yin, Zhu Hao and several wardens...... The study is so dense that there is almost no place to put your feet.
Tang Yin narrated, and told the situation when he watched Zhu Hao's experiment before, as well as the strategy and inventory formulated by it, specifically that Zhu Hao made the powerful explosives, and found someone to transport them to the thief camp at night to detonate them, causing chaos among the thieves and even the camp roar, and then mobilized soldiers and horses to go out of the city to exterminate the bandits......
After hearing this, Yuan Zonggao was the first to express his doubts: "Bohu is saying that it is not ordinary gunpowder, but something ten or even a hundred times stronger than gunpowder?" ”
Tang Yin nodded: "Almost." ”
Luo An on the side hurriedly said: "Yuan Changshi, the inferior and others were present at the time, and they witnessed it with their own eyes, and there will never be a mistake. ”
Originally, Yuan Zonggao wanted to question it, could it be that Zhu Hao planted a large amount of gunpowder there in advance, because the iron box exploded, detonating the gunpowder hidden deep underground?
But thinking about it again, so many people testify, it can't be Zhu Hao's deliberate tricks, right?
And then there'......
What are the benefits of Zhu Hao playing this little trick?
In order to cheat the royal government's funds?
But if it doesn't play its due role in actual combat, then Zhu Hao's guilt will be greater, and it is not simply a matter of compensating the palace expenses.
In the end, Yuan Zonggao just shook his head slightly and didn't say a word.
Zhu Youqi said with doubts: "If it is the dead of night, send someone out of the city secretly, transport the iron box to the enemy camp to detonate it, and it is discovered halfway...... I'm afraid there will be big trouble. ”
Zhu Hao bowed his head, Xingwang's question was to the point.
The city sent officers and soldiers to secretly infiltrate the camp of the thieves with a large killing weapon, in case someone intercepted it in the middle of the way, and finally the killing weapon fell into the hands of the thief and was used in the siege of the city?
It's a self-digging grave!
Tang Yin said: "Judging from the current situation, the thieves mainly focus on looting outside the city, and the main focus of the city gate is to prevent a large number of soldiers and horses from attacking the camp in the city, if only with a small force of soldiers and horses...... Even sneaking into the vicinity of the bandit camp alone, the risk is low......"
Zhang Zuo, as Tang Yin's most loyal ally, was the first to jump out and oppose at this time: "Mr. Tang, since there is a possibility of missing, it means that there will be great risks in using this plan, and it is the safest and safest to hold the city wall at present, as for killing the enemy to win, it needs to be built on the basis of foolproof." ”
This is unreliable as soon as you hear it, where is there a foolproof strategy in the world? No matter how thoughtful the plan is, there may be an accident temporarily, who dares to pack a ticket?
At this time, Zhang Zuo said this, more like echoing Yuan Zonggao's opinion.
Tang Yin scolded his mother in his heart, who do you support? If you don't help me speak, you are the first to jump out and question me, just to show that you are in step with King Xing?
Grass on the wall, you?
At this moment, Zhu Hao, the party who had been silent before, spoke: "What if you disguise yourself as a big family in the city and escape from the city overnight to attract the attention of the thieves?" ”
"Huh!?"
Almost everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Hao.
Everyone present had a thought, how could they forget him?
This big killer weapon was made by Zhu Hao, he has the most right to speak, look at what the big guys are arguing about in front of him, why don't you ask the opinions of the parties?
In the past, when Zhu Hao spoke like this, some people would definitely think that he was rude to speak regardless of the occasion.
But now when it comes to the rise and fall of the palace, Zhu Hao himself is the initiator, and he is about to gain fame as a student...... This gives him the right to speak.
Zhu Youqi has always been humble and admonished, and hurriedly said: "Zhu Hao, you can tell me specifically." ”
Zhu Hao said: "The thieves outside the city are menacing, the big families in the city fled overnight, carrying a large amount of goods is reasonable, the movement is a little bigger, deliberately let the thieves notice, they will definitely send a large number of people to chase and intercept, attention will be attracted to the past, but in fact, what is carried in the carriage is the extremely powerful gunpowder I studied......
"While the thieves are going to pursue the convoy, the city sends men to send an iron box containing gunpowder to the enemy camp and detonate it, and the thieves will inevitably be in chaos......
Before Zhu Hao's words fell, there was suddenly applause and applause from the side.
"Hah! What a great idea! Is this a front and back attack? The thieves thought they could grab a big one, but they finally caught up with the carriage, opened the carriage and saw that there was nothing, and before they could react, there was a boom, and they all exploded into the sky...... On the other hand, their nest was also bombed...
"In the middle of the night, I couldn't see my five fingers, the sky was clear and thunderbolts around me, and the corpses were all over the field.
The words are a little crude, but they are true.
Everyone looked at this guy who had rashly interjected, but it was Jiang Lun who was standing next to Lu Song, probably among the people present, he was the only one who would say such a comment regardless of the occasion.
When Jiang Lun came, people found that he was full of alcohol, and it was clear that the palace asked him to go to the city to supervise the army, but he ended up drinking...... There is no positive shape at all.
It seems that it is precisely because of this that the wine is strong and courageous, and Jiang Lun dared to talk eloquently there in front of many people and analyze Zhu Hao's strategy.
Zhu Youqi's face was originally solemn, but after listening to Jiang Lun's words, his eyebrows and eyes slowly expanded, and he seemed to have some intentions.
Zhang Zuo was the first to notice this change, and said with a smile: "The words are not rough, Aunt Jiang is a good way...... No, it should be Young Master Zhu's clever plan, which is admirable. ”
Even if he was as picky as Yuan Zonggao present, he only glanced at Zhu Hao and did not say anything against it.
The scheme......
Sounds like a good fit!
Zhu Youqi approving: "Then Zhu Hao, how long will it take to make the fierce gunpowder that allows the bandits to blow up the camp?" ”
Zhu Hao arched his hand and said, "Start working now, and it can come in handy tomorrow night." But His Royal Highness King Xing, I must make it clear to you and you that the biggest effect of this thing is not to cause many deaths and injuries to the bandits, but to deter and disintegrate the bandits' fighting spirit, and finally rely on soldiers and horses to attack and annihilate or drive away the thieves whose morale has collapsed......"
Zhu Hao must explain this.
Don't think that with the big killing weapon, you can sit back and enjoy it, the purpose of this thing is to hit the morale of the thief's army, increase our prestige, and complete the killing of one blow after the other.
Otherwise, even if the mass killing weapon is successfully detonated, the enemy camp will be killed, injured and chaotic, but the soldiers and horses in the city will not move, and the thieves will definitely regroup after the collapse, and it will be difficult to achieve results next time.
Zhu Youqi smiled and said: "What Zhu Hao said is also what this king wants to say, if it can make the thief army's heart turbulent and collapse, even if the Xingwang Mansion pours out of the nest?" ”
"Yes!"
Luo An was deeply encouraged and took the lead in responding to King Xing's call.
This is probably the thinking of most of the guards in the palace, although they are not called bloody men, but when they see their fields and the harvest of the coming year being ruined by thieves, and the people are being coerced and plundered, they are full of mourning, and as soldiers, they are powerless, and the sense of humiliation in their hearts is incomparable.
At this time, there is an excellent opportunity to break the enemy, bomb the enemy camp first, so that the thieves are too busy to take care of themselves, and then fight...... If you don't have the courage to go out of the city to meet the enemy, where will the old face go?
Zhang Zuo put on a flattering look and said with a smile: "It's rare to have such a good strategy, I don't know Young Master Zhu, what is the cost?" ”
Zhu Hao said: "It's just a few dozen taels of silver, it doesn't cost much, and there is no need for the palace to bear it." ”
"How can this work......
Zhang Zuo immediately refused.
If he doesn't send silver to Zhu Hao, how can he profit from it?
Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "King Xing, it's better to wait for this matter to succeed, along with the cost of making this fierce gunpowder and the reward, and give it to Zhu Hao, at this time, let's pay attention to the battle situation first." ”
Talking about money at such a critical time......
It's weird!
Zhu Youqi nodded in agreement: "In this case, what help is needed, the palace is duty-bound, Zhang Fengzheng...... It's up to you to collaborate. ”
Zhang Zuo hurriedly bowed: "The old slave takes the order." ”
……
……
Preparations are in full swing.
At the same time, the thieves outside the city became more and more arrogant, the surface and intensity of the looting increased more and more, more and more sentries came to report the losses, and the state government was facing tremendous pressure......
Early the next morning.
Zhu Hao also supervised the manufacturing in the workshop at the back of the laboratory.
Tang Yin came over to tell Zhu Hao about the meeting held by the state government last night, and Zhu Hao yawned after listening to it, and commented: "The knife didn't cut the flesh, they don't know the pain." ”
Tang Yin sighed: "The way of the world is like this, who cares about the losses of others if it doesn't matter to you?" Speaking of which, King Xing is really good, he has compassion for heaven and people, and always cares about the well-being of the people, but he is a good lord. ”
Zhu Hao smiled and glanced at him obliquely, as if to say, your sycophant shot in the wrong place, right? Tell me this, and I won't help you convey it to King Xing.
"Inspired by feelings."
Tang Yin's face flushed, his head drooped slightly, and he was slightly ashamed.
Zhu Hao said: "The plan has been formulated, can the dead choose?" ”
"Huh?"
Tang Yin looked confused.
Zhu Hao smiled bitterly: "You haven't even thought about this, have you?" I built a weapon of mass destruction, and it was so dangerous to transport it, there should always be brave people who will move forward...... You don't expect me to throw gunpowder from the top of the city and drop it directly into the bandit camp, do you? ”
Zhu Hao's meaning is obvious, even if the big killing weapon is built, who will take it to blow up the camp?
Where are the dead?
