Chapter 685 Gunpowder
The soldiers and horses of the Zhou State retreated from Chang'an City.
And after they left Chang'an City, they quickly rushed to their Zhou Kingdom.
Since Tang Guo was determined to kill them, if they continued to stay here, they would be under a lot of pressure.
And their Zhou State was still fighting against the Song State, and they couldn't afford to bear such a big pressure.
The soldiers and horses of the Zhou State retreated, and Li Yu entered the city with the soldiers and horses.
It was only then that Dolgon finally got the news.
"What, the state of Zhou has withdrawn, damn, damn it......" Dolgon suddenly had a feeling of being betrayed.
Did the Zhou State have already withdrawn its troops, and they naturally had no hope of attacking the city, so Dolgon quickly retreated with his soldiers and horses, but they retreated to the military camp and did not return to China directly like the Zhou State.
At the same time, the same is true of Tibet.
And after the two countries returned to their respective camps, they soon gathered in one place.
They're going to have to figure out what to do next.
"Zhou Guo left, Li Yu returned to Chang'an City, and then we want to capture Chang'an City, but I'm afraid it's unlikely."
Dolgon said this, and then glanced at the Tibetan general, whose eyes were staring, and then asked, "What do you mean, Dorgon?" "What I mean, still use the people of the Tang Kingdom to endanger Li Yu, those Tang generals dare not open the city gate, but Li Yu is afraid that he can't bear it, as long as they can't bear it, they open the city gate and go out of the city to fight, we still have a chance, don't look at it, we have 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the Tang army only."
There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, we are more than them, and we are stronger than them. ”
As long as the Tang army is willing to go out of the city to fight, Dolgon is sure of victory.
After thinking about it, the Tibetan general nodded in agreement.
After saying this, they went to look for the people of the Tang Kingdom again, but there were very few people in the surrounding Tang Kingdom, almost none, and they wanted to find the people, but they were afraid that it would take a few days.
And just when Jin and Tubo went to find the people of Tang, Li Yu returned to the palace.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the Zhou State has retreated now, the Jin Kingdom and Tubo are still there, and the crisis in my Chang'an City has not been resolved, what good strategies do you have for this situation now?"
Li Yu asked, and Xu Mao stood up. "Shengshang, although the Zhou State retreated, but the soldiers and horses of the Tubo and Jin States combined, there are also 200,000 people, we go out of the city to fight with them, the chances of victory are not great, and the casualties are bound to be very heavy, so the minister's meaning, you might as well strictly defend the city, weaken the Jin State and the Tubo soldiers and horses, wait for the opportunity, and relieve the siege of Chang'an."
Xu Maogong already knew the strength of the Jin Kingdom and Tubo, so he felt that the chances of winning a battle with them were not great, so he advocated defense.
After Xu Maogong finished speaking, many people followed suit.
"Lord Xu is right, Shengshang, we can't go out of the city to fight, we should defend Cheng'an City, with Chang'an City, they can't attack it even if they have 200,000 more soldiers and horses."
"That is, that is, with Chang'an City, we can be invincible first."
“…………”
Many people muttered non-stop, but at this time, Li Jing stood up. "Shengshang, that's what he said, but Jin Guo is really a villain, they have killed a lot of people in my Tang Kingdom in the past few days, if we continue to guard the city, they are only afraid that they will continue to kill my people, and now that the Shengshang has returned, if you don't go out of the city, I'm afraid it will make the people feel cold, and the people will be cold,
At that time, a lot of things were not easy to do. ”
Li Jing has fought with Jin Guo many times, and he is already very clear about Jin Guo's urine, if they don't go out of the city, Jin Guo will definitely continue to find people to endanger them.
And, in the past, Li Yu was not in the capital, and it was better for them not to go out of the city, but now that Li Yu is back, if they don't go out of the city, the people are afraid that there will be complaints.
After Li Jing said this, everyone's faces became a little ugly.
"Damn, Jin Guo is hateful, he actually killed my people."
"Holy Lord, what are we doing in this situation?"
"Yes, Holy Lord, what should I do?"
They were in a dilemma, and they knew that their situation was really not good.
Everyone turned their eyes to Li Yu, Li Yu's eyes were deep here, he knew that if he wanted to solve the predicament in front of him, unless they had a way to defeat the Jin State and Tubo, as long as they had it, they could go out of the city to fight.
Their Tang Dao and Mo Dao teams are very powerful, but with Jin Guo and Tubo's understanding of the Mo Dao team, these weapons of theirs have gradually lost their advantage, and it is really a bit unrealistic to defeat them with the Mo Dao team.
Li Yu's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he suddenly thought of gunpowder, now the gold coins he has, it is still possible to buy gunpowder formulas, but after buying gunpowder, there are not many gold coins left.
But if there is no gunpowder, how can the predicament of Chang'an City be contacted?
After thinking about it, Li Yu didn't hesitate much, and directly bought the gunpowder formula.
After buying the formula, Li Yu said: "You Aiqing don't worry, I have a secret weapon available, you go and find materials for me, when the time comes, I will make Tubo and Jin regret coming to attack my Chang'an City." ”
That is to say, but those materials will definitely not be bought by these people in the court, Li Yu will only arrange them for the people he trusts the most, and there are several procedures, and he quickly sent people to set up a firearms bureau in Chang'an City, so that they can make gunpowder according to his instructions. After saltpeter and other materials were ready, those people selected by Li Yu began to make gunpowder in the Firearms Bureau, and after the gunpowder was made, it had to be processed again and processed into a gunpowder ball, so that after igniting and throwing it down, it could explode, although the lethality was not as good as the high gunpowder of later generations, but in
In such an era, it is definitely an existence against the sky.
Soon, the Firearms Bureau produced some gunpowder balls.
After the gunpowder group came out, Li Yu ordered someone to bring one over, and the ministers were very curious.
"Holy Lord, this thing really has a lot of power?"
"Holy Lord, is this thing really able to defeat the Jin Kingdom and Tubo?"
"It seems that this thing is just average, and it's not a weapon, so how can it be very powerful?"
Looking at the black thing, the ministers of the Tang Kingdom were really curious, how could such a thing be able to defeat the enemy?
Seeing that they were curious, Li Yu showed a light smile and said, "Since you all question it, then let's test it and let you see the power of gunpowder." With that, Li Yu led people out of the palace and came to a relatively empty place, and then ordered: "Ignite." ”
