Chapter 537: Prologue and End!
In this era, there was gunpowder, but it was only used for New Year's firecrackers and fireworks, and the power was enough to hurt people, let alone use it on the battlefield.
The problem is the ratio of those three things.
As a later generation, Li Xin naturally knows the horror of gunpowder, which is one of the few golden fingers he has come to this world, and he will naturally not abandon it.
Last year, that is, in the first year of Taikang, he went back to his hometown to repair his mother's grave, and stayed in Qiyang County for more than half a year.
(This paragraph was mentioned earlier, and if you can't remember it, you can go back and take a look.) )
It was precisely because of this foundation that Li Xin had the courage to lead his troops to the southwest to face the huge Pingnan Army as a military "amateur".
It is precisely because of this big killer that Li Xin has the confidence to say that he will have the capital to turn his face with Taikang Tianzi in the future.
Originally, Li Xin should never have taken out this thing and used it at this time, in other words, people like Li Shen or Ye Ming were in Li Xin's position, not to mention that the forbidden army had killed one or two thousand people, that is, one or two thousand people had died, and all his subordinates were dead, and they would not show their hole cards at such a time.
But Lee credited.
After all, he is not the same as these "cold-blooded" generals, he is a modern person who grew up under the red flag, and he has no way to watch these subordinates who have been with him for almost a year go to death meaninglessly.
That's why he chose to use this big killer.
For a whole day, Li Xin personally dispensed dozens of catties of gunpowder, and then on this night, he asked people to raise their shields and carry these gunpowder to advance under the gate of Mianzhu City.
The biggest casualties in the siege are dying at the base of the wall, or when climbing the city wall, but it is not so difficult for these shield soldiers to advance to the gate of Mianzhu City.
What's more, none of these people with gunpowder were from the forbidden army, but Yu Linwei's cronies who followed Li Xin to the southwest.
It has been a year or two since Yu Linwei was reorganized, and this new Yu Linwei was brought up by Li Xin, and those who followed him and Mu Ying to the southwest were the old people among Yu Linwei, half of them were taken to Hanzhou City by Mu Ying, and the other half were with Li Xin, who were his cronies.
These people were labeled as Li Xin, and their net worth and lives were also tied to Li Xin, they had no reason to betray Li Xin, and it was impossible for them to betray Li Xin.
So let these people go to Mianzhu City with a big killing weapon, Li Xin is absolutely trustworthy.
In this way, when the night just fell, a gorgeous flower bloomed under the Mianzhu City.
This is the Devil's Flower.
Because it may be the beginning of a new era, this era may not open immediately, but with the battle of Mianzhu City, it was unveiled.
This day is the twenty-first day of the lunar month of the second year of Taikang.
This is a day worth remembering, and from this day on, the era of cold weapons, which lasted for an unknown amount of time, was seriously threatened.
Dozens of catties of gunpowder may not be as powerful as an ordinary cannonball in later generations, but Mianzhu City is not a big city, and these gunpowders are used to blow up the wooden gate of Mianzhu......
More than enough.
After Yu Linwei lit the fuse according to Li Xin's instructions, he immediately held the shield and dispersed.
After a loud bang, the main body of the wooden Mianzhu city gate was still there, but the brunt part was blown open a gap of two or three meters, and the defenders of the Pingnan Army, who were originally blocking the city gate with stones behind the city gate to prevent the city hammer, were directly blown open by this loud noise, and some people were directly blown away three or four meters away.
With this explosion alone, more than a dozen defenders of the Pingnan Army died behind the city gates.
The others were also stunned by the loud noise.
This gate is five inches thick! Shattered
No matter what, they couldn't understand why the city gate, which was so strong during the day, suddenly ...... Shattered?
What's more, this deafening loud bang made these people stupid.
At this time, the little grandfather Ye, who was covered in armor, like a god of war descending from the sky, took the lead and led 5,000 people from this broken city gate.
Ye Mao was already tall, and he was personally trained by the old prince Ye Sheng since he was a child, when Ye Sheng was young, his martial arts were still a little flawed, but when he retired at the age of forty, his kung fu had become a killing technique on the battlefield, and when Ye Sheng began to train Ye Mao, he was already sixty years old.
What Ye Mao was taught was the essence of Ye Sheng's lifelong battlefield battle.
Although he still can't beat his grandfather, at least he has the appearance of Ye Sheng for six or seven points.
At this time, this little grandfather took the lead, wearing more than thirty pounds of heavy armor, but he was like nothing, every time a big gun was swung, at least one or two people would die under the gun.
In this era, there are also generals who charge into battle with personal bravery.
But they didn't rush in and fight a lot, each general would have enough guards around him to help him keep an eye on the enemy on the flank, and the general who charged the battle only had to concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front.
Moreover, a disciple like Ye Sheng has very good armor, and sometimes there is no way to hurt him in melee slashing, and the stray arrows in the distance basically do not pose any threat to him.
Under this premise, there will be countless fierce generals and brothers in the history books, charging into battle and returning from a hundred battles.
Otherwise, this kind of middle and high-level generals, as long as they go to the battle, they will basically die.
Ye Mao was like the tip of a sword, the tip of his sword was extremely sharp, and he was indomitable, and he plunged directly into Mianzhu City.
The people of Fangshan Zhichong Mansion, seeing that their captains were so brave, also moved forward bravely, and five thousand people, under the leadership of Ye Mao, poured into Mianzhu City.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
Just after Ye Mao and the others rushed into Mianzhu City, the second echelon outside Mianzhu City had already lined up their formations, ready to wait for all the people from Fangshan Zhichong Mansion to enter the city, and then the second batch entered the city.
At this time, Li Xin and Zhao Jia, together with one person, held a clairvoyant mirror and watched from afar.
Zhao Jia stood behind Li Xin and slowly put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand.
This young man from Chen Guogong's mansion had his hands trembling.
Even his voice trembled.
"Hou ...... Master Hou, this ...... What is it? ”
In comparison, Li Xin was much calmer, and he also put away the clairvoyant mirror and took a deep breath.
"It's a thunderbolt."
"The thieves rebelled against the way of heaven, and heaven sent them a robbery."
Zhao Jia was silent for a long time.
Then he asked Li Xin a word in a trembling voice.
"Master Hou, this... Heavenly thunder, can there be a second time? ”
Li Xin's face was expressionless.
"Who can fathom the meaning of heaven?"
Zhao Jia didn't continue to speak.
Still, his hand tucked up his sleeve was shaking.
This clear-minded young man knew very well in his heart that from this evening onwards, the time when everyone would defend the city might have to ...... Passed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jia glanced up at Li Xin.
At the very least, in front of this Marquis of Jing'an, this era has passed!
