Gunpowder has been made!

But another problem arises.

How exactly to exert its power.

Guo Jia couldn't help but scratch his head.

After a preliminary understanding of the power of black powder, he thought of several sets of plans, but in the end he was defeated by reality.

In view of the current iron-making technology, it is impossible to make steel for artillery, and it would be a huge amount of pig iron, and there is not so much iron ore in Zhongshan.

Artillery was the first to be excluded.

Then there are the induction bombs, or hand-dropped bombs.

These two things are also more practical.

However, whether it is an inductive mine or a hand-thrown grenade, an initiator must be used.

And the simplest thundermercury is basically incomprehensible in this era.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Even if Guo Jia knew how to build it, with the current conditions, it couldn't be built at all.

It seems that only the most primitive method can be used, an open flame is ignited, like this improvised landmine.

It seems that this is relatively simple.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with the power of the crude black powder, Guo Jia still ordered Zhao Shan to work overtime to make black powder and clay pots.

This kind of thing seemed to him, a later agent, to be a child's thing, but in this era, it was a shocking existence.

Cai Yu just saw a pit and was immediately excited.

Zhao Dazhui and others were even more dumbfounded.

Zhao Shan is a real person, what Guo Jia commands, he will naturally do.

So, the backyard of the Taishou Mansion worked overtime to make the weird powder that the Taishou needed.

In addition, on the other side, the whole vehicle of clay pots was sent to the Taishou Mansion.

……

A few days later, the brigade of men and horses drove from the northeast, led by the willing general, whose head was wrapped in a yellow scarf, very strong, and it was Zhang Niujiao.

In response to Zhang Jiao's call, they raised troops in Guangyang County, captured the Taishou Mansion and the Thorn Shi Mansion, killed the Thorn Shi, and sacked Guangyang City.

An army of 100,000 marched towards Zhongshan.

As one of the thirty-six commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Niujiao was Zhang Jiao's henchman, and after conquering Guangyang, he did not stop too much, but marched to Jizhou.

Jizhou is the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and Zhang Jiao is planning the layout of attacking Luoyang, but Luoyang has been defended like an iron barrel by the army of the Han Dynasty, and it takes a lot of troops to break through.

So, Zhang Niujiao immediately led the troops.

There are two roads from Guangyang to Julu, one is to take Zhuojun through Anguo to Julu.

The other is to cross Lunu City to Xiaquyang.

It stands to reason that Lunu is the seat of Zhongshan, and the soldiers of the entire county are hoarded here, so it is difficult to break through.

If Zhang Niujiao wants to go to Julu quickly to meet Zhang Jiao, he can choose another way.

Compared to the road of Lunu, the road is still relatively easy.

However, Zhang Niujiao still chose to break through the road of Lunu City, and he also had his own selfishness.

In recent months, Lunu City has become a big border trade city, with merchants coming and going, and goods piling up like mountains.

In addition, Zhang Niujiao's sworn brother Zhang Yan is the leader of the bandits in Taihang Mountain, and there are more than 100,000 people under him.

Zhang Niujiao planned to persuade Zhang Yan to raise troops together, and after Zhang Jiao conquered the world, they were also the founding heroes.

Therefore, he sent a letter to Zhang Yan early in the morning and made an appointment to attack Lu Nu together.

I don't know why, Zhang Yan has been holding still, which makes Zhang Niujiao a little depressed.

But depressed to depressed, he didn't think too much.

Since Zhang Yan refused to do it, he had to do it himself.

In Zhang Niujiao's eyes, although Lu Nu was a little stronger than ordinary cities, he was definitely not the opponent of his 100,000 army.

Report!

A few fast horses galloped in.

"Tell Qu Shuai, twenty miles ahead is Lunu City."

Zhang Niujiao's deputy general Cheng Yuanzhi reported.

Lunu City!

Zhang Niujiao's eyes narrowed suddenly.

"I heard that the city is full of gold, silver and jewelry, goods and grain are piled up, and beautiful women are like clouds, and there are bearded women with big breasts and big butts. These are all for our brothers. ”

Hahahaha!

The Yellow Turban thieves laughed in unison.

"Qu Shuai!"

Another yellow scarf leader said: "I heard that Guo Jiapo has two brushes. first uprooted the Zhang family, the biggest powerful man in Lunu. Then he packed up Zhang Yan's army of 30,000 and obeyed it. We are not to be underestimated! ”

This person's name is Deng Mao, and he is also Zhang Niujiao's deputy.

Guo Jia!

Zhang Niujiao's eyes flashed with disdain.

"It's just a little yellow mouth. What real skills do you have to buy an official who spends money. Besides, there were only a few thousand people who died in his hands. We have an army of 100,000. Can't a dozen people beat one? ”

Hearing Zhang Niujiao say this, everyone catered to it a few times again.

Qu Shuai!

Deng Mao said again: "Zhang Yan's side, it seems that something is wrong. ”

The messenger has been sent out for many days, and Zhang Yan has never moved, which makes the Yellow Turban Army a little puzzled.

Whether it's a bandit or a yellow scarf, it's all against the imperial court.

Now the Yellow Turban Army is in power and occupies a large part of the country.

It stands to reason that Zhang Yan should also comply with the mandate of heaven, and the corresponding yellow scarf is.

Why did he keep standing still, did he have any thoughts?

Never mind!

Zhang Niujiao waved his hand.

"The opportunity, I've already given it to him, since he can't catch it, then don't blame me, a sworn brother, for being unkind. Originally, he planned to take Lunu City and give him half of it, but since he didn't send troops, then everything in Lunu City belonged to our brothers. ”

Qu Shuai is mighty!

The thieves shouted in unison.

Zhang Niujiao was triumphant, and he laid down Guangyang, which made his self-confidence extremely inflated.

They don't even look at other places.

"I heard that Guo Jia, this kid is very blessed, and several beauties around him are stunning, and one of them is the daughter of Cai Yong, a famous man in the world. Cai Yong is a celebrity, and he doesn't look down on our brothers in his heart. This time he defeated the city of Lunu, and Lao Tzu was going to play with his daughter in front of him. Let him, an old boy, see what our brothers are capable of. ”

Zhang Niujiao laughed.

"That's what Qu Shuai said!"

The crowd pandered in unison.

"Qu Shuai fell in love with Cai Yan, that was their family's honor."

"I can't say, Cai Lao'er is going to kneel and beg you to accept his daughter."

"Haha, Qu Shuai has taken a fancy to Cai Yan, so Guo Jia's other women will be handed over to the brothers."

Hahahaha!

Zhang Niujiao smiled even more proudly.

He was already basking in the joy of breaking the city of Lunu.

"Soldiers!"

Zhang Horn horsewhip pointed.

"Target, Lunu City! Defeat the city of Lunu and kill Guo Jia. The marshal allowed everyone to get away with it for three days. ”

Qu Shuai is mighty!

Again, the people answered the peace.

The so-called three days of freedom is to allow them to burn, kill and loot in the city at will.

This is the greatest reward for them.
