There were only four people on the city wall of Liangzhou, and Pei Shouyue and Su Dingfang in the back were excited, looking at the group of people and horses who were slowly coming in the distance.

There is only wind between Xue Rengui and Li Jing.

But after months of getting along, Xue Rengui gradually became familiar with the old general, although he didn't speak at the moment, he could still judge from Li Jing's motionless posture and the sound of breathing that the wind couldn't hide:

The old general attaches great importance to this team of five mines.

But ask yourself a little, Xue Rengui also has to ask himself:

Can you not value it? Do you dare not value it?

During this time in Liangzhou, Li Jing was able to teach Xue Rengui everything.

In addition to emphasizing the need for courage and strategy for the commander, there will also be interspersed with past battles in the middle, and Xue Rengui will be simulated in the shoes of Xue Rengui with a sand table simulation.

In his spare time, he will hold miscellaneous weapons and equipment, and Xue Rengui and Xue Rengui will elaborate on the tactical differences brought about by them.

In this step-by-step teaching, Xue Rengui also heard about the Five Thunder Temple, which was founded by General Li Jing, and knew about the thing called gunpowder.

Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, just hearing General Li briefly describe his power was enough to shock Xue Rengui.

Now that he is about to see it with his own eyes, Xue Rengui's heart is becoming more and more hot.

From Guanzhong to the west into the Western Regions, there are only three important towns along the way, Liangzhou, Zhangye, Dunhuang.

If Hexi is regarded as the arm of the country, Zhangye and Dunhuang are all the arms of Zhangguo, and Liangzhou is undoubtedly the root of this arm.

It is connected to Chang'an in the east, and Zhangguoye in the west, so Liangzhou can be called a mixture of fish and dragons, and the merchants of the merchants, the tributary envoys, the Turkic secret agents, and the Tugu Hun are all passing through here.

In view of this, after Li Jing arrived, he relied on brave and brave soldiers to screen Liangzhou many times.

Now it can be regarded as the initial results, at least the ban, no one on the streets of Liangzhou City dares to go out against the order.

The Hu people only dared to hide behind the door panel, while slandering the sudden arrival of the Liangzhou guards that it was difficult to get along, while looking at the army slowly passing by the straight street through the crack in the door.

Silent and silent, so is the mighty division.

As for why the imperial court suddenly sent heavy generals to support heavy troops in Liangzhou, the Hu people in the Western Regions themselves muttered and made all kinds of speculations.

Although some people speculate that it is to destroy the trouble of Tugu Hun Ping's elbows and armpits, on the one hand, Jieli Khan has only settled in Chang'an for more than a year, and it is hard to believe that Datang has the spare strength to conquer year after year. On the other hand, no one in the Western Regions knows that Tugu Hun is good at escaping, it is not difficult to defeat, and it is difficult to win.

So in the end, the mainstream speculation still believed that the Tang court should want to sort out Hexi.

Li Jing knew this, but he still ignored it, and even frequently sent troops to patrol between Zhangye and Liangzhou in order to sit back and watch this speculation, so that the Western Regions Zhuhu recognized this speculation.

At this time, seeing that the Five Thunder Department had successfully entered the city and was going to camp in the north of the city, Li Jing also turned around and said:

"If you want to be a soldier, how can you not know a soldier? Come with me. ”

Xue Rengui felt his entire body jump with excitement from the inside out.

Most of the men and horses of the Five Thunder Department went to camp, but at this time, there was still a small group of men and horses left outside the city, combined with what Li Jing said, how could he not understand that this gunpowder weapon could be seen with his own eyes today!

Pei Xingjian and Su Lie, who were on the other side, saw Li Jing waving to this side, so they followed with cheers.

If you want to test the weapon, you naturally can't be outside Liangzhou City, and after Li Jing got off the city gate, he didn't take the initiative to hand over the waist card and let this team carefully check it.

After the verification was completed, Li Jing rode on his horse and led the team towards the east of Liangzhou.

Just walked and stopped like this, until he was more than thirty miles away from the city, Li Jing waved his hand and stopped, pointing ahead:

"So I tried it."

After hundreds of years of war, the territory of the Han and Hu people is also repeatedly moving, the whole north is scattered like this Beacon Sui I don't know how many, all of them are rammed earth and built solid and abnormal, after a hundred years of wind and sand, the beacon wall is still quite intact.

"Try what? Wait a minute, let me wait for a few people to charge this earthen wall and break it down? ”

Pei Xingjian said a word for the first time, and almost asked Su Dingfang to cover his mouth again.

Pei Xingjian didn't believe in his master Li Jing, mainly because on the one hand, his mouth couldn't be idle, and on the other hand, words like Su Dingfang in the history books to describe power were really exaggerated.

Especially in the Hongwen Museum, I read the records of state affairs during the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, and there are many similar descriptions.

So in his imagination, even if these five thunder agencies are powerful, at most they should have sharper ordnance, is it really possible to borrow thunder from the sky?

Especially when I saw this team of people unloading a copper cylinder from the baggage carriage, its thickness was like Su Dingfang's thigh.

Pei Xingjian became more and more determined in his heart...... Hey, why did you start mixing powder?

is completely different from what Pei Xingjian envisioned, this team of people is not so much an elite soldier as a craftsman.

But looking at the way these people carefully prepared the medicinal powder and carried the copper cylinder, their expressions were extremely solemn, as if the price of the goods they handled exceeded a thousand gold.

Curious, Pei Xingjian also instinctively stopped, and stood aside with Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui and watched the group of soldiers manipulating seriously.

didn't let a few people wait too long, the first to get up was a row of the tallest guards, what made Pei Xingjian almost laugh was that this group of guards all had bamboo baskets on their backs, and inside were eared pottery pots, and a thin hemp rope was passed through them and tied tightly.

At this moment, Pei Xingjian couldn't help it again: "This clay pot like a shrimp toad is an ordnance?" ”

The shrimp toad is a tadpole, so Su Lie thinks it is quite similar.

It's just that after being glared at by Li Jing, Pei Xingjian quickly covered his mouth and watched with wide eyes.

The soldiers were unconscious, took out a "tadpole" from the back basket, and then methodically took out a fire fold on a small tail of this clay pot and touched it, and after seeing that it had begun to smoke, they pinched the tail rope of the "tadpole" one after another, and turned it around several times like a flying stone, and then threw it towards the beacon at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Xingjian fell off the horse.

The sudden loud noise not only made Pei Xingjian's brain shut down, but also made the war horse under his crotch neigh, but fortunately, Su Dingfang, who was riding together, almost relied on instinct to suppress the commotion of the horse and leaned over to scoop Pei Xingjian up, so that he avoided the fate of being trampled by the horse.

The frightened Pei Xingjian couldn't laugh anymore, his eyes widened, and he muttered:

"Not only is it far superior to ghosts and gods, this is the power of heaven and earth! Su Dingfang, what you said is so inaccurate! ”

Su Lie was also speechless for a while, too lazy to bother with him, he rode on the horse and saw clearly from a high place, the clay pot burst open and a puff of smoke and dust rose, and after the dust settled, he saw that there were clay pot fragments embedded in the beacon wall.

This is also true of rammed earth walls, and it is also conceivable if they touch a human body......

With this thing alone, Su Ding felt that today's coming was extraordinarily valuable, but it was not over yet.

Next, a few people watched together the thin bamboo tube that can emit thick smoke and a little fire, it is said that it is made of waste gunpowder, and the bamboo tube can only be thrown away when it is used up, which is suitable for the athletes to carry two with them when they go out to the army, and they are ignited and thrown into the enemy formation before the battle.

And the most important thing is the iron cylinder.

Su Dingfang watched as the soldiers worked hard to dig a pit and bury half of the barrel body in it, and then stuffed a polished round stone into it.

A pinky-thin fuse was lit at the tail of the cylinder, and the group of soldiers ran away one by one.

Although he didn't know why, Su Lie subconsciously pulled the reins back a little, and then he was sincerely glad that this decision was correct.

The smoke and dust dozens of times thicker than the previous clay pot, the earth-shattering loud noise, and even a little trembling of the earth, and then I saw that the rammed earth wall had broken a gap that could accommodate a ride to and from calmly, and the dust was flying.

Pei Xingjian fell off his horse again.

Li Jing was the only one present who could still be unaware of such a sound.

This former Five Thunder Views master's heart was full of joy at this time, and he was especially clear about these things.

Clay pot cannons and fire chimneys aside, this cannon is really easy and difficult.

It is easy to see the so-called "cultural relics" in the light curtain, and I have tried it a few times, and it can be regarded as the first results in the past year.

The difficulty is because of the material of the cannon body, the choice of copper and iron involves the size of the cannon body, the power of the launch, and other things that are not known.

For example, after being incorporated into the prison and with the help of the blacksmith, the Five Mines Department was full of confidence to cast an iron cannon, but the cannon body cracked after the first shot, and when the second cannon was tried, the iron cannon body exploded entirely.

It is also because of this that only this bronze cannon can finally bring Liangzhou.

But that's enough! Li Jing was in high spirits, and he only felt that he couldn't wait for the next war.

And Wen Mang looked at the huge exclamation mark that popped up in the upper right corner of his website and clicked on it curiously, and then read it out:

"Congratulations on reaching a major historical turning point?"
