Liu Hongji held the palm thunder in his hand, with a curious expression on his face, and asked Li Chao disapprerovantly, "Palm thunder, shouldn't it be thundered in the palm of your hand?" ”

"I'll send you sister!"

Li Chao couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

No matter how rough and weak this palm thunder is, this is gunpowder. At least the power is much greater than the ordinary firecrackers, you can not make the firecrackers in your hand can hurt your hands and blow up your eyes, you are holding a two-pound grenade in your hand, this is not looking for death?

didn't care about explaining anything, Li Chao rushed up and grabbed the palm thunder, and then shook it hard, throwing the palm thunder far away, Li Chao used a lot of force.

However, this palm thunder has been lit in Liu Hongji's hand for a while, and the lead has been burned off, so after throwing it out, it exploded with a bang as soon as it drew a curve in mid-air.

That sound was not earth-shattering, for Li Chao, it was not as loud as some firecrackers in later generations, but it stunned Liu Hongji, the general.

When the thunder sounded, he sat down on the ground in fright, the official hat on his head fell off, and his clothes were dirty.

But he couldn't care about it, he was dumbfounded, looking at the flash of lightning and thunder.

"Palm thunder, this is really palm thunder!"

"It's amazing."

Liu Hongji muttered, but Li Chao's disciple Wang Xuance Cheng Chumo and the group were all very calm. However, when they first started experimenting with palm thunder, their reactions were actually no different from Liu Hongji's, and they were shocked.

But the more I tried, the less I was in awe of this thing, and I slowly got used to it.

"This thing is amazing!"

Li Chao smiled, "This thing sounds like thunder, but the lethality is not too great." Li Chao said very pertinently, after all, it is black powder, and the power is small, even if it is filled with more than a pound of medicine, the explosion power is not great. In particular, there was no technology or condition to make the shell of cast iron, so a wooden shell was used. Some are even directly used bamboo tubes, when they explode, they are basically blown into two pieces, in order to enhance the lethality, Li Chao can only add some small ceramic pieces or something to it, and he is reluctant to even break iron nails, iron is very valuable in this era.

One such palm thunder is very lethal unless it falls on a pile of unarmored people. After all, grenades are mainly killed by fragments, and without fragments, where does it come from.

But Li Chao believes that if you bring such a grenade and attack the camp, especially in the dark night, or an ambush, the sound of the explosion will definitely be more lethal than the explosion.

After all, the war horses of this era, even if they have some anti-shock training, no one has ever trained against such explosions.

Even the tiger was frightened when he heard the donkey barking in Guizhou for the first time, let alone the Turkic war horse Turks.

"Gao Kan, demonstrate the use of palm thunder for Ren Guogong."

"Yes!"

Gao Gao walked out, wrapped the fire rope, took the grenade, unscrewed the lid, lit it, threw it, and the action was done in one go.

The two-pound grenade was quite heavy, but Gao Kan threw it at a distance of forty steps, which was almost more than sixty meters. Generally speaking, soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War threw grenades, and they were qualified if they could throw them for about thirty or forty meters, and those who threw fifty meters were masters.

But Gao Kan threw more than forty steps directly.

The grenade smoked, arced through the air, and then fell into the distance where a wooden target had been inserted. The grenade landed first, and then it sounded.

From ignition to explosion on the ground, it is estimated that there is an estimated ten seconds.

Hearing a bang, Liu Hongji's eyes were bright.

He immediately ran over to check the results.

The grenade was thrown into the target area, but the lethality was not large, and Li Chao estimated that there was lethality within one step, and the killing radius was estimated to be less than one meter. The nearest wooden target was smoky black and a little splashed with dirt. Where the grenade landed and exploded, there was only a small crater, which was almost missing.

Even if you fall on your feet, you will be fine if you are lucky, and if you are unlucky, you may blow up your leg, but there will definitely be no such thing as an explosion.

But Liu Hongji still feels powerful and admires Li Chao a lot.

"What kind of immortal arts?"

Li Chao then asked several students to still show off explosives packets, explosive canisters, explosive packets and explosive canisters thrown with catapults, rockets loaded with gunpowder, bazookas capable of spraying hundreds of rockets at once, gunpowder-boosted ballista rockets, and so on.

"Good, good, good, it's all good. With this gunpowder as a boost, the range of this crossbow arrow has increased a lot. ”

"The range has increased, but the accuracy has decreased a lot." Li Chao was not blindly happy, gunpowder-boosted rockets, etc., have advantages and weaknesses.

"It doesn't matter, we have this range advantage, we can launch from a long distance, the Turks are numerous, if you shoot at their tents, you can shoot at random, you can also shoot in the direction." Liu Hongji said with a smile.

Li Chao admires this old rascal, and his vision is good. Li Chao came up with this kind of rocket, in fact, he also had the same idea as him, it is still useful to attack large camps, or siege cities, and to deal with some large targets, you can rely on the advantage of this range and play a role.

"Good stuff, good stuff." Liu Hongji exclaimed again and again, "Are sulfur and saltpeter the main medicines?" ”

"Yes."

"Well, I'll hurry up collecting these two things when I go back, what else do I need?"

Li Chao smiled but did not speak.

Although he doesn't like gunpowder, in the eyes of people in this era, it is still very magical and sharp. Therefore, Li Chao kept the gunpowder formula very strict, and before he set out on the expedition, he showed the gunpowder weapon to Li Shimin, and also gave the formula to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin had already confessed that this formula should be kept strictly secret and beware of leakage, even if Liu Hongji was a general, Li Chao would not be able to tell him.

At the moment, he just smiled, "I also added some materials." ”

Seeing this, Liu Hongji was stunned, then came back to his senses, laughed, and the matter passed with a smile.

In the evening, Liu Hongji's very bold labor army sent a lot of steamed bread and flatbread, and even sent more than 100 sheep, so that Li Chao and his entourage, who were marching all the way, could be regarded as a full meal.

"Xiangguo, the military intelligence from Hetao!" Su Dingfang took a letter of information and reported it.

Li Chao, who was washing his face, heard this, and continued to rub the towel very calmly, "Say, what's the situation?" ”

"The 100,000 troops are the forwards, and they have crossed the Yin Mountain."

"Is that all?"

"Sun Wuji, the governor of Shuofang Dao and the governor of Zhenbei to protect Wei, led the army to abandon Fengzhou and have returned to Lingzhou."

Li Chao snorted, "What about Wei Guogong Li Jing, where is he now?" ”

Su Dingfang handed over the information, "Before Wei Guogong retreated, he sent someone to Wei Guogong to send a letter, asking Wei Guogong to retreat south together and abandon the Hetao." But Wei Guogong retreated, but Wei Guogong did not retreat, and until now, Wei Guogong Li Jing is still in Dingxiang! ”

Li Chao hummed again.

"Xiangguo, Wei Guogong left without a fight, but Wei Guogong insisted on not withdrawing, this front and back set are inconsistent on both sides, and something will happen." Su Dingfang said worriedly.

Li Chao wiped his face and put down the towel.

"Actually, whether it is withdrawal or war, it is okay, but it needs to be consistent on both sides. Now that the eldest grandson Wuji has given up Fengzhou and abandoned it, Li Jing has insisted on not withdrawing, which is indeed a bit troublesome. This is the disadvantage of the lack of a unified command of the commander on the front line, and sent an 800-li urgent letter to the old general Li Jing, asking him to obey my commander's order, give up Daibei, and withdraw to Yanmen Pass. ”

Su Dingfang was surprised, "Before the battle was fought, we abandoned Hetao and Daibei?" ”

"If necessary, I will also order the Shuofang north of the Great Wall to be abandoned." Li Chao said very calmly.

"Dingfang, this is our voluntary abandonment, and it is only a temporary abandonment, this is our preparation before the heavy punch, understand?"

Su Lie showed a sudden expression, "Student understands!" ”

"Well, go and write a letter to Li Jing, remember to be strict, and let him obey my orders after seeing the letter!"

Summary: I just calculated carefully, and I still owe 154 chapters. Last month, more than 100 chapters were added, an average of more than four chapters a day, and more than 50 chapters of debts were repaid. However, there were still thirty chapters of the alliance leader added last month, so in the end there are still 154 chapters owed, but there are fewer and fewer.

It's a new month, and strive to pay off the debt as soon as possible, here Muzi also hopes that everyone can support it with a monthly pass, and last month ranked seventh, but failed to enter the top five. I know that it is because of a lot of debts and the result of not being able to add a monthly pass, and I am also very helpless. It's a new January again, I hope to update more, write more exciting, thank you for your support. (This paragraph summary is modified later, and it is not counted as the number of words charged, so don't worry!) ）
