Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Moment of Thunder (3)
Since the memorial to the soul of Yiling, due to the violent explosion vibration, Li Xian has been sleeping in the workshop with Zong Pre for the past few days, eating and living with these craftsmen, and the affairs of the three counties are temporarily all handed over to Chen Zhi to take care of, although nearly ten years have passed, but the memory of the college entrance examination preparation has always remained in Li Xian's memory, therefore, with the memory of later generations, a lot of improvements were made on the basis of the first blasting test.
According to the records of Song Yingxing Tiangong in the Ming Dynasty, saltpeter and sulfur are the mainstay, supplemented by rosin, tung oil, hollyhock and other objects, and the violent burning in a very small space will cause a fierce explosion. Of course, Li Xian remembered this, but he needed time to confirm, reconcile the proportion and purity, and the most important thing now was that after this pre-made material leader, the procurement time was greatly shortened.
Not long after, in the col where the last explosion occurred, Li Xian and Zong Pre evacuated the surrounding craftsmen, and after estimating the explosion distance, they arranged these craftsmen outside the explosion range, and Li Xian pulled out an extra-long lead, signaling that Zong Pre could ignite.
Suddenly, the spark began to swirl, and began to crawl and hover like a snake along the specially made fuse, slowly and gradually crawling towards the col where the gunpowder was placed.
"Why is it silent?" Zong Yu looked at the line of fire that disappeared from the field of vision, but he never saw any movement, and he was a little suspicious in his heart.
Li showed that the Yizong pre was a little restless, and continued to lie behind the railing and wait, but he didn't know that this sect had just fallen down, only to hear a loud sound through the valley, like thunder, and the mountains shook in an instant, and the sect pre was almost unable to stand. He stumbled and suddenly sat on the ground, what kind of power was this, he couldn't describe it for a while, and there were only two words constantly circling in his mind: "Heavenly thunder!" ”
"Heavenly thunder! It's thunder! Nothing but the thunderbolt could cause such damage! Zong Yu didn't care about his dumbfounded expression, he immediately got up and pointed to the deep pit that had been blown out, and there were still fierce flames burning fiercely inside!
"General Zong, congratulations! Our army suddenly thundered, and it is expected to break Wu, but the governor of Pontus feels that this thing can be even more violent! Li Xian looked at Zong Pre-Dao.
"This is the work of the governor, how will it ......?"
"With the military merit Cao, remember, General Zongzhu learned the method of heavenly thunder outside Yiling City and used it for our army! Since then, the building ship belonging to General Zongzhen has been changed to the Tianlei! Li Xian directly interrupted Zong Pre's words, said to Cao Yan, who was with the military merits, watched Gong Cao receive the order and wrote it down, and then said to Zong Pre: "General Zong, if our army can break Wu this time, the general will be the first merit!" But you have to kill the enemy for the governor of Pontus! ”
"Dare to disobey!" Zong Yu immediately bowed his hand, and said with a serious look in his eyes.
"Listen to my orders, and now immediately convene the entire military academy to assemble!"
"Yes!"
.....
Shimen Mountain. Sun Huan Dazhai.
Sun Huan, who had just been thrown off by the war horse, immediately grabbed the horse's neck and scolded: "Is this Shu army finished!" It's endless! Fry every day! Fry every day! Lao Tzu can't even get on the horse! ”
"General.... Could it be an earthquake? Sun Huan led the captain of the horse and said.
"Fart! You've lived most of your life, have you ever seen an earthquake in this place? Sun Huan was also angry and said, "If he had attacked directly, would he have suffered this crime?" Anyway, what are they doing in the south, making such a big move every day? As a result, Lao Tzu hasn't slept peacefully in the past few days. ”
"Report!" A herald suddenly galloped back covered in dust.
Sun Huan hurriedly asked, "What's the situation!" ”
"Will.... Checkmate..... It's thunder! Thunder! ”
"What thunder? Tianlei split Li Xian? Sun Huan was puzzled.
"No, it's the Shu army, Tianlei!" The herald seemed to be in a hurry, and for a moment some of them began to slurred a little.
"The heavenly thunder has chopped the Shu army?" Sun Huan was even more stunned, and he didn't know what the herald wanted to say for a while.
"No, general, the Shu army has a thunderstorm!" After taking another sip of water, the herald finally corrected his words and began to speak clearly.
"Shu Army? Sky Thunder? The Shu army has a heavenly thunder? Sun Huan just questioned incomprehensibly, then thought about it repeatedly, and asked: "You mean, the Shu army can master the heavenly thunder?" ”
The herald nodded uncontrollably, turned to look at Sun Huan, and saw Sun Huan sitting on the ground with a slump in his ass.
I only heard Sun Huan suddenly muttering to himself: "The Shu army actually has a thunderstorm, but it has not come to attack, why?" Is Yiling City air defense weak? Or suddenly won the three counties, people are uneasy, today is the day when the Shu army controls the thunder, so it is inevitable to relax the vigilance, maybe you can break through today! ”
"Pass my general order, gather the three armies today, and break through tonight!" Sun Huan immediately said loudly.
"Yes!"
It was night, the starlight was gradually sprinkled, and the crescent moon slowly climbed up the branches, but for Sun Huanbu, who was preparing to break through, he was never interested in appreciating such a beautiful view of the vast night sky.
"General! Look! Immediately after that, Sun Huan's footmen pointed to the side of the sky where a strange light was emitted.
Sun Huan immediately followed the sound and looked, only to see that countless Kong Ming lanterns in the sky began to fly, and suddenly flew in the direction of the south, Sun Huan was extremely confused, and he didn't even know what these Kong Ming lanterns were used for.
"Nothing about that! Break through with me! Only then did Sun Huan come back to his senses, and immediately commanded his soldiers to start rushing south of Yiling and on the road leading to Changsha.
Sun Huan and the others will once again sprint to a place a few miles outside Yiling City, and when they look at it again, they see that the lights on the head of Yiling City are scarce, and it looks like an empty city.
Sun Huan laughed and said, "Li Xianxiao'er, such a small skill of carving insects, can you deceive me?" This must be Li Xian's plan to lure the enemy, we will make a detour outside Yiling, five miles away from the city, be careful of ambushing the army! ”
Sun Huan's voice did not fall, only a muffled sound was heard, the muffled sound at this moment was compared to the sound a month ago, it was a world of difference, only in an instant, Sun Huan broke through the rear of the cavalry, dozens of knights were blurred in a moment, scattered limbs and blood splashed in front of the surrounding soldiers, and the war horses were all frightened, almost no horse could keep their sanity at this time, and began to scatter around, Sun Huan Rao is superb riding skills, and he could only temporarily clamp the mount, but he was still turned down, and his face was already full of blood.
And just now it was the first ring, followed by the second ring, followed by the third ring...... Suddenly, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, obscuring the hazy moonlight, and the ground was full of scattered limbs, some people, some horses, and some Sun Huan's......
After the explosion was completed, Zong Pre led the army out of the city, and in the disgusting battlefield, it was almost impossible to find a complete corpse, and the generals had to identify Sun Huan's head in the chaos, but half of his face had been blown off.
Zong Pre ordered: "Everyone, today the traitor Sun Huan is the head!" Go back to the city to celebrate! ”
Zong Yu was carried into the city under the cheers of the generals.
......
Yong'an City.
"The Governor is back!"
Li Yan hurriedly went out to greet him when he heard the sound, but he saw Li Xian dressed in black, almost unrecognizable under the moonlight, whether there was anyone here.
Li Yan hurriedly arched his hand and asked, "Governor, how is the battle in Yiling?" Will it go well? ”
Li Xian then ripped off his cloak and went directly into the county guard's mansion, drank a cup of tea, and then replied: "The battle in Yiling is going well, what about Quan Cong?" ”
Li Yan said: "Dudu, Quan Cong and Pan Zhang have both hid in the Wuling Mountains, and in more than a month, it will be winter, if they can't find a way out, they should all freeze to death here." ”
"Report! Quan Cong was under the city tower, with tens of thousands of Wu troops, bound himself and surrendered! ”
Li Yan advised: "Governor, be careful of deception!" ”
Li Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "Go and call all the soldiers, whether they are on duty or not!" ”
"Yes!"
"Oh yes, prepare a red flag and a white flag."
Under the moonlit night, Li Xian, under the escort of Xu Zhen and Zhao Tong, came to Quan Cong on a horse, but saw Quan Cong naked, and behind him were tens of thousands of Wu soldiers, Li Xian asked lightly: "Where is Pan Zhang?" ”
"Governor Qiyu, Pan Zhang... Pan Zhang is still in the mountains...."Quan Cong curled up and bowed his head.
The autumn wind blew, and the cool breeze on the river blew all the spirits, but Li Xian's face still couldn't ripple, and he still asked coldly: "General Quan, you commander the whole army entered the Wuling Mountains, and you can neither die nor survive, so you have no choice but to surrender, right?" ”
"Return... Back to the governor, the last general's food has run out, and the mountains... The mountains are rugged and the soldiers are ..... Cannibalism among soldiers, the last general.... There is really no way for the general. ”
Li Xian was a little stunned at the moment and said sharply: "There is really no way?!" If you lead a leader like you, where will there be a way! I don't know where Sun Quan chose you idiot! Since you're going to surrender, you have to show some skills! Ben will ask you, where is Pan Zhang! ”
Quan Cong was frightened for a while, and said, "Du Du ..... Pan.... Pan Zhang went north, captured a small boat, and led the cavalry into Linfu ....."
Li Xian frowned slightly, and then said, "Frustrated.... Linfu is a good place! Quancong, the governor of Pontus wants to leave you alive, but the soldiers behind you, the governor of Pontus can't spare you. ”
"Please be gracious!" The soldiers behind Quan Cong actually shouted in unison.
"Well, the Pontus is not unkind, if you want to live, the Pontus will give you a chance! Now there is a red flag and a white flag in front of our army, and all the officers and men of our army who agree to surrender stand under the white flag! All who disagree stand under the red flag! Li Xian reined in his horse, and under the moonlight, he couldn't even see this person's face clearly, but Quan Cong had been lifted up by Xu Zhen and pressed back to his side.
Li Yan stepped forward from the side and reminded Li Xiandao: "Governor, these tens of thousands of captives are killed without asking for orders, I am afraid that Your Majesty will blame them." ”
Li Xian was silent, and there were no words, after Li Yan finished speaking, he had to retreat, and at this moment, the detachment under the red flag and the white flag was already obvious, obviously there were far more people under the red flag than under the white flag, and then the Wu army, who had abandoned the armor, all wailed at this moment.
"Enough! Pontus has had enough! Li Xian once again grabbed the reins of the war horse and said sharply.
"Back then, you crossed the river in white clothes and had a deep enmity with the sea of blood that set fire to Yiling! If Ben spares you here, what will Ben be! How will Ben face General Guan and General Zhang, how will he face the first emperor, and what are the loyal ministers and martyrs who are on the Yiling Death Festival! Either you should die under this Yong'an city or on the Yangtze River, but you can't come back and surrender if you survive, this is your so-called Jiangdong talents? What were you like when you slaughtered the people of Jiangxia? What was it like when you plundered Gangneung? If you can get a whole corpse here today, it can be regarded as a general waiting for you! ”
"And those who stand under the white flag, you go back and close your doors for three days!"
"Pass me the order! Except for Quan Cong! All 30,000 soldiers were killed, and not a single one was left! All the first levels were sent to Chengdu to be a view of Beijing! Li Xian said again.
"Yes!"
