Chapter 40: Absolute Contraband
When Su Qi'an said this, it made Liu Xianling look a little sideways, his eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything, he looked up and looked at the bandits on the top of the mountain.
Since Su Qi'an was so confident, he had to wait.
The three groups of soldiers who were repulsed did not retreat, but the shieldmen stepped forward, and a large number of bows and arrows were fired from the rear.
That kind of posture looks very fierce, but in Xie Cang's eyes, it can be seen that this kind of powerful attack is just a feint.
On the surface, it creates a strong offensive momentum, but in fact it is still a long-range attack, which does not pose much of a threat to the bandits on the top of the mountain.
But this feint attack actually deterred the bandits' psyche, even though they had a heavy defensive iron gate.
But the soldiers on the mountainside did not retreat, and every attack was accompanied by a low roar like earth-shattering.
These soldiers themselves have been on the battlefield, killed people, and seen blood, and their bodies exude the blood of the forest, accompanied by this beast-like shout.
As strong as bandits, their psychology is also terrifying.
The soldiers on the mountainside, as long as they do not retreat for a moment, the psychological pressure of the bandits is very great.
Now the two sides are really caught in a stalemate, the soldiers can't attack, and the bandits are passively defending.
Fortunately, the arrows carried by the soldiers this time were enough, but in just a quarter of an hour, in front of the iron gate on the top of the mountain, countless arrows were paved, and from a distance, it looked like a hedgehog mountain.
The stalemate between the two sides continued, and an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and within this hour, the soldiers of the three routes rested in batches for a while and threw themselves into the battle again.
The bandits on the top of the mountain gradually adapted to the rhythm of the soldiers' attack, and looked at the iron gate that had not been broken through for a long time, and the tension in their hearts gradually relaxed.
The slightly nervous face just now was once again occupied by mockery, and the bandits on the top of the mountain were not defending with all their might.
Some people are drawn out to defend and watch, while others take turns to rest and cook.
These soldiers are beaten of iron, and they can not eat or drink, but they bandits can't stand it.
They have been attacking for an hour, and the big iron gate is still not moving, so what are they afraid of?
Eat some food, replenish your strength, and slowly consume with the soldiers later, and consume these people to death.
Sure enough, after a while, on the top of the mountain, there was cooking smoke rising one after another, and a faint fragrance came from the top of the mountain.
This is a deliberate act of the bandits, they don't believe it, and in this case, these soldiers really have to be like iron men, indifferent.
Fang Jingzhi, who was looking at this scene, his face changed, and he turned his head, wanting to say something to Su Qi'an.
But seeing that Xie Cang still looked calm, he could only swallow the words when they came to his mouth.
Fang Jingzhi felt that the long wait did not last long, and after asking you for a few minutes, Su Qi'an, who had not spoken, said suddenly.
"Xie Hou, Lord Fang, a good show is about to start, you see."
The two of them turned their heads together, and in the iron gate on the top of the mountain, an explosion suddenly sounded very suddenly.
Immediately afterwards, a thick smoke rose, and this sudden explosion was not only one, but the second, third, fourth...
At least a dozen sounds, and more than a dozen explosions resounded inside the mountaintop.
Strands of black smoke rose, and wails rang out one after another.
Fang Jingzhi's face was full of shock, and he said in surprise, "Mr. Su, could it be those hunters who succeeded?" ”
Su Qi'an smiled and nodded.
The shock on Fang Jingzhi's face was even stronger, there was only one way up the mountain in Dongzi Mountain, and he could only feint head-on.
As for the back mountain, it is a very steep cliff, even those hunters, who have traveled deep in the mountains and old forests all year round, have rich climbing experience.
But if you want to cap Dongzi Mountain, it is absolutely impossible!
Back then, he set out to suppress bandits, and once used experienced hunters to climb from the back mountain, but in the end they all failed.
But Su Qi'an's arrangement was so easy to succeed? It's kind of incredible.
Seeing this, Xie Cang chuckled, "Hehe, Lord Fang, Mr. Su's means can be high, since Mr. Su dares to think about it, he will definitely do it." ”
"Let's go up the mountain now and take a look to see what kind of means Mr. Su used."
"What Xie Hou said, Xie Hou please."
An explosion occurred inside the top of the mountain, which immediately broke the deadlock, and the soldiers who feinted did not need Su Qi'an's order, and instantly changed from a feint to a fierce attack.
Each of them roared and quickly rushed to the top of the mountain.
Only this time, they did not encounter much resistance, and almost rushed to the top of the mountain very smoothly.
The soldiers stepped forward and, with absolute brute force, pushed open the closed iron door.
What caught my eye was a mess, with all kinds of corpses of the bandits, as well as seriously injured bandits who were not lightly injured and wailed.
Of the more than 300 bandits, almost none are intact, and few are able to stand up.
Even if he stood up, he was shot by the soldiers for the first time, and the soldiers were never soft on the bandits.
The top of the mountain is very open, like a huge platform, except for the corpses of the bandits, there are potholes in several places.
The holes were not deep, but the air was filled with the smell of burning gunpowder.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Jingzhi was shocked, he didn't expect this desperate method to really succeed.
According to Su Qi'an's plan, a group of hunters who brought him over, each carrying 10 kilograms of black powder, climbed up from the back mountain.
And the three teams of soldiers on the front, covering the frantic continuous attack, paralyzed the bandits on the top of the mountain.
When the climb was successful, 10 kilograms of black powder per person were detonated, and in such a dense setting, hundreds of people had to be reimbursed for most of the money.
And Li Hu, Shui Sheng and other hunters lived up to the trust and successfully completed the task.
In the billowing black smoke, several figures approached from a distance.
These people were Li Hu, Shui Sheng and other eight hunters, Su Qi'an stepped forward quickly, looking up and down.
Li Hu said heartily, "Mr. Su, I am fortunate not to be dishonored in the task you have assigned, and none of us were injured this time." ”
Su Qi'an nodded with satisfaction, and his hanging heart was slightly relieved.
At this time, Fang Jingzhi's voice of sigh sounded.
"This is Mr. Su's means, tsk, I didn't expect Mr. Su to be not only both civil and military, but also a skilled craftsman, this climbing equipment, I'm afraid that the best craftsman in Lingbei County can't make it."
After all, Fang Jingzhi has been an official for more than 20 years, and he has dealt with bandits for many years, and he can see at a glance that Li Hu and Shui Sheng have good climbing equipment.
Although the main body is a rope, each rope is perfect to fix their limbs and chest well.
At each fixed point, it is connected by small iron locks in ovals.
If it weren't for Xie Hou here, he would have opened his mouth directly, asking Su Qi'an if there was anything superfluous, and he would have to get a few sets of everything.
For Da Liang, this exquisite climbing tool is naturally very rare, but for Su Qi'an, a young man with modern wisdom.
But it's not worth mentioning, his main business is a superb marksman, but his hobby is rock climbing.
This climbing tool. It's normal to say it's easy to come by.
Of course, Su Qi'an didn't talk about this matter in general, just a brushstroke, and there are some things that if you talk too much, you will get into trouble.
Su Qi'an echoed Fang Jingzhi's greetings a few times, his eyes turned, and fell on Xie Bang.
opened his mouth and said, "Brother Xie, what are you looking at?" Could it be that on this Dongzi Mountain, there is still something that Brother Xie is looking for? ”
Xie Cang, who was standing on the edge of a hole, turned his head and shook Su Qi'an with a smile.
"Hehe, Mr. Su said with a smile, Ben Hou just felt strange, the power of this explosion is a little too big, if I fight against the outside world and can burst out with such power, maybe my lost territory will be recovered."
Su Qi'an also laughed, "Harm, this black powder is too unstable, once it is hit by an external force, there is a danger of detonation, and there are strict restrictions on the environment, transportation and preservation, this time the power in Dongzi Mountain has increased, it can only be said that Brother Xie has preserved it properly." ”
"This battle can be easily won, Brother Xie is indispensable, Su is here for the villagers of Dongshan Village, thank you brother."
Listening to Su Qi'an's explanation, Xie Cang came back to his senses and nodded, and said softly, "Well, what Brother Su said is right, I have thought a little too much about this matter." ”
Xie Cang, who returned to normal, immediately waved his hand and said to Su Qi'an, "Hey, Ben Hou is just watching this matter, and he hasn't made much effort, and the command of the bandits this time is you." ”
"Don't say kind words, let's go, go and see, how much wealth these bandits have accumulated over the years on this mountain."
After speaking, Xie Cang and Fang Jingzhi walked towards the inside of the mountaintop.
Su Qi'an, who was following behind, nodded with a smile and followed behind, but no one saw it, Su Qi'an's eyes full of smiles flashed a little weak.
Xie Cang's guess was correct, black powder was powerful, but it was extremely unstable and could explode at any time.
And the final appearance is far greater than black powder, because it is not black powder at all, but authentic explosives.
This kind of explosive can be made, and it is also thanks to Su Qi'an's side that he is interested in this thing, how much he knows, and the important thing is that he found the raw materials of explosives in the back mountain of Dongshan Village.
Su Qi'an didn't say anything about this, even Qin Ziyin.
I wanted to try it with the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to succeed in a few times.
Not only is it extremely stable, but it is far more powerful than black powder.
What Su Qi'an handed over to Li Hu and Zhao Da was the replacement explosives.
I wanted to push the boat down the river to test the power of explosives, but I didn't expect it to be too strong, which made Xie Hou suspicious.
Fortunately, Su Qi'an made a plan in advance, which fooled Xie Cang.
It's not that Su Qi'an is careful, but explosives, once Xie Cang is informed, within ten days, Su Qi'an's head will definitely fall to the ground.
In addition to the use of black powder in Daliang, the following state pastors, county guards, and county orders have extremely strict requirements, and there are also regulations on the dosage.
To put it bluntly, black gunpowder is used by other people without permission, except for the army, and it is absolutely forbidden.
In Daliang, black powder and iron ore are absolutely controlled by the imperial court, and no one else can even think about it, and touching it is a capital crime.
However, Su Qi'an secretly created explosives that were more stable and powerful than black powder.
If this is announced, think about it, when the time comes, it will no longer be the so-called admiration for Su Qi'an, what a talent.
It was shock, then fear, and finally for the sake of the stability of the world, either control Su Qi'an, or kill him directly, so as to prevent future troubles.
