The telescope in Chang Yuan's hand was the one Ning Qingxi had made earlier.

If you want to remake the telescope, you have to burn the glass first, but they are busy making gunpowder and don't have time at all, so now there is only one telescope, and after knowing that Chang Yuan is going to war, she gave the telescope to the other party without thinking about it.

The smoother Chang Yuan lives, the better they can live.

Wang Hanting was holding a telescope there and looking at it, and his mouth kept trumpeting with emotion.

Ma Honglin couldn't see it, so he snatched it up, "I said you got it, haven't you seen enough after watching it for a long time?" Let me see it too! ”

Wang Hanting muttered in his mouth, if it weren't for the march and battle, the two would have to fight.

Chang Yuan stopped the behavior of the two, "Okay, set up camp, hurry up and rest to eat and drink, and capture Jinzhou City in one fell swoop." ”

Chang Yuan attached great importance to this war, not because of how important Golden State was, but because it was the first appearance of gunpowder.

Ning Qingxi said that due to the limitation of the process, these gunpowders are not guaranteed to explode 100% successfully.

Some gunpowder will get damp even if it doesn't rain, so Chang Yuan is not very sure in his heart how much effect this gunpowder can play.

After the repair, the group headed towards Jinzhou City.

Soon, the soldiers on the walls of the Golden State City spotted the men and horses in front of them.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Close the gates! ”

The soldiers in the city of Golden State panicked.

Chang Yuan could even see the frightened expressions on the faces of these soldiers from a distance with binoculars.

Take down the binoculars and carefully hand them to the soldiers to put away.

Wang Hanting and Ma Honglin wanted to see it again, but he didn't want to.

It's just such a one, what should I do if I break these two fools?

Although the war has not yet begun, in Chang Yuan's heart, Ning Qingxi has already been credited.

Chang Yuan said in his heart, the telescope is really a sharp weapon for marching and fighting.

If you have a telescope, you can easily observe whether the enemy is in ambush.

You can even see the number of guards on the walls before the enemy reacts.

All the more scouts were equipped with that quill, and it was sure to have an unexpected effect.

The huge wooden door of the Golden State creaked shut.

The clothes worn by the guards of Jinzhou City were Nan Chen's uniforms, and Chang Yuan had inquired clearly before he came, because they had occupied Taixi County and Taizhou Mansion, Jinzhou had lost contact with the imperial court.

So he didn't expect the resistance to be very strong.

Chang Yuan stopped when he walked a mile to the city gate.

In the binoculars, you can clearly see that there are already many people standing on the city wall, and they are constantly looking at them.

It's just that these people's faces are not very good-looking.

The soldiers of the firearms battalion have been practicing throwing for more than half a month, and even if they can't hit 100 shots, they can hit 8 out of 10 shots.

All the explosives were taken out.

Chang Yuan sent people to shout and tell them to surrender.

When the people on the city wall saw that they were waving the banner "Chang", they immediately understood which side it was.

Unsurprisingly, the group did not choose to surrender.

Although they lost contact with the imperial court, it was unlikely that they would have reinforcements, but the walls of Jinzhou were very high, higher than the original Taixi County, and they were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There are probably more than 10,000 guards in Jinzhou City, and if you count the people of the whole city, you may be able to simply pull out 20,000 or 30,000 people.

The people brought by Chang Yuan, plus the accompanying transportation team, were only about 30,000 people.

The number of besieging the city is generally greater than the number of defending the city to be able to win, but they are now the same in number, if they use the previous cold weapons to attack the city, it is impossible to take Jinzhou City, unless there should be a combination of inside and outside or other strategies.

Perhaps the other party also saw that their number was only about 30,000, so they insisted on refusing to surrender.

Chang Yuan gave the order, "The firearms battalion will go first." ”

The soldiers of the firearms battalion all stripped off their clothes, revealing their muscular upper bodies, their arms muscular and powerful.

The camp advanced steadily, and the soldiers of the firearms battalion lit the gunpowder fuse in their hands and threw it out when it was almost time.

The soldiers of the firearms battalion stopped about two hundred paces from the city wall, just outside the range of the enemy's ordinary bow and arrow fire.

Most of the gunpowder thrown by the soldiers of the firearms battalion was simply thrown under the city walls, but there was one with the greatest strength that threw gunpowder directly onto the walls.

The guards on the ramparts saw that they were just throwing something wrapped in paper, and they were confused.

Suddenly, a burning gunpowder with a lead was thrown up, and the surrounding soldiers subconsciously took a few steps back, but the speed was too slow, and the gunpowder exploded directly in the crowd, and many soldiers were blown up beyond recognition.

Screams were heard from the city walls!

"Ahh My leg! ”

"Ah, my face!"

"What is this! Thunder?! ”

"Help!"

It was just a few rounds of gunpowder, and the earthen wall under the city wall was not actually blown up much, one was the distance, and the other was that the blasting range was not concentrated enough, but the gunpowder thrown on the city wall had an effect, and the soldiers defending the city were in chaos.

When a leading armored general saw this scene, he immediately asked the other soldiers to pick up the gunpowder that had been thrown and throw it down, but those soldiers watched the gunpowder explode and blow up their colleagues beyond recognition, even breaking their hands and feet, where did they dare to approach at this time?

It's just that as soon as they retreat, they will be killed by the generals and soldiers behind, and they have no choice but to endure fear and throw down the burning gunpowder thrown up, some succeed, some fail.

After a while, the riot on the city walls was suppressed.

In the distance, Chang Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that the gunpowder was so scattered that it was impossible to blow down the walls.

It was just a test of the power of the gunpowder, and when the unrest on the city wall stopped, the Golden State soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and they thought they were safe.

They had already discovered that the powder had been thrown with a burning thread, and nothing would have happened if they had just dropped it before the thread had burned out.

As everyone knows, their city gate has been secretly piled up with a lot of gunpowder by Chang Yuan.

Bed crossbows were moved from the city walls, and ordinary bows and arrows could not shoot soldiers, but bed crossbows could, and no armor could stop them.

It's just that before they could start launching, something happened below.

"Let's light the fire." Chang Yuan said to the soldier who threw the longest distance from the firearms battalion.

Others can throw a distance of about one to two hundred paces at most, but this soldier's arm strength is extremely strong enough to throw four hundred steps!

When the soldier heard this, he immediately lit the fuse of the gunpowder in his hand, and then threw the ignited gunpowder directly into the pile of gunpowder at the city gate.

Then the whole army retreated fifty paces and raised their shields at the front.

The people on the city walls looked at it inexplicably.

Although they were a little afraid of the gunpowder, they did not think that this packet of gunpowder would blow down the walls.

The bag of gunpowder that was thrown over exploded with a bang, and then caused a chain reaction, and the explosives of the entire gunpowder pile exploded directly.

The city gate collapsed with a "boom", and the soldiers on the city wall didn't even react, and the city wall on the other side of the city gate lacked a big hole, and many soldiers even fell directly.
