On the way into Hanzhong City, the Gunpowder Army finally felt a hint of pressure, mainly due to the enemy-built facilities, they dug a large number of trenches, and laid countless traps along the way.

After a few days, the gunpowder army lost more than 30 men, which had to make Yuan Yun decide to slow down the speed of the march, and Pang Tong also supported this, after all, Hanzhong City could not run away, as long as the gunpowder army could reach the city, and then it was just a devastating crush.

The distance between Hanzhong City is only eighty miles, and there are countless mountains and rivers between them, so it can also be seen that Hanzhong is indeed an existence that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which allows Zhang Lu to be here for so long.

"Lord, the injuries on my body are almost healed, I should be able to ride a horse, I always sit in this frame, it really doesn't feel like I'm out to fight, it's more like I'm here for an outing." After Pang Tong finished speaking, he smiled and drank the medicinal soup in his hand.

Now the team doctors who accompany the army have also changed a lot, at the beginning they were just some reckless men who were trained, and now under the establishment of Luoyang, many real Langzhong are also willing to join in, because Cao Ang's official documents make it very clear that these Langzhong who join will get official positions.

As a result, Pang Tong only had medicinal soup to drink, but for those pharmacies opened by Lang Zhong, this military advisor felt very inexplicable, and he didn't need to let Yuan Yun, a miracle doctor, use it, but why did he find some mediocre talents to prescribe prescriptions for himself, this question once bothered him for a long time.

In the end, he comforted himself that if the gunpowder army was prescribed by Yuan Yun, then it was estimated that he, the handsome, would not have to do anything else.

Yuan Yun knows his own things, although he has received medical education, but most of them are brain surgery, this kind of traditional Chinese medicine prescription to grasp medicine, it is completely ignorant, as for this talent, it is naturally Luoyang's Hua Tuo, now this old gentleman is about to become a fine, through the acquisition of medical knowledge from Yuan Yun, he actually made a lot of treatment methods, the configuration of traditional Chinese medicine added the word concentration, that is, the essence of medicinal materials, so that its efficacy is greater.

Now that he has Hua Tuo working hard, Yuan Yun is no longer sad about this, he is more energetic in mechanical manufacturing, and the success of the gas engine also gives him great encouragement, and he begins to feel that this kind of thing is impossible to cross the times, but the spirit of the craftsmen in this era makes this seemingly impossible become a reality.

In addition, because of the existence of Luoyang Academy, more and more craftsmen are educated, and the way of teaching skills has also changed from oral transmission to systematic books, which suddenly allowed more craftsmen to join in a bumper harvest.

Today's Luoyang has completely turned into a giant beast for this era, and this giant beast is still growing, and its size is getting bigger and bigger, as for what it will become in the end, it is difficult for even Yuan Yun himself to say clearly.

Because many craftsmen have begun to deviate from Yuan Yun's arrangement, they have begun to invent and create on their own, and have really come up with a lot of new things, such as sealing technology, and now the synthetic rubber produced by refining petroleum has become more and more reliable, which has also allowed many technologies to start to penetrate.

When the first shell that was tightly sealed was made, Yuan Yun was surprised for a whole day, because it was made without any drawings provided by him, and the logic was all figured out by the craftsmen themselves.

With this kind of shell, Yuan Yun put forward the idea of bullets, and now many craftsmen in Luoyang have begun to work hard for this, if they really succeed, Yuan Yun feels that this kind of thing as a machine gun can start to be put on the line.

"Lord...... The lord ......" Pang Tong called a few times, and suddenly grabbed Yuan Yun out of the fugue.

Looking at the confusion on Pang Tongyi's face, Yuan Yun smiled awkwardly, and then said: "I was thinking about some manufacturing in Luoyang just now, but I was distracted. ”

Pang Tong smiled and said: "The lord should consider these things, any little ideas of yours will have a significant impact on Luoyang, which I and Kong Ming both feel deeply, so I plan to lead the team myself on this expedition, if the lord stays in Luoyang to do these things, it is the most valuable." ”

Yuan Yun smiled, shook his hand and said: "If you stay in Luoyang all the time, you may not be able to get a lot of ideas, so it is better to come out and walk around like this, but you can have an idea." ”

After speaking, Yuan Yun glanced out from the gap in the truck, and saw that there was a snow-covered mountain forest on both sides, and some scouts were shuttling between them.

Seeing these scouts moving around, Yuan Yun suddenly smiled and said, "Zilong is really well arranged, now that the safety of our march has greatly increased, it is estimated that such a thing as a sneak attack is impossible." ”

Pang Tong also laughed, and said: "Zilong has always been inconspicuous and does not show the mountains and waters, this time he was ordered to be in danger, and he was not afraid, and everything was arranged so properly, it seems that we are going to Luoyang again, and we will go on an expedition in the future, and the lord should stay in Luoyang without worry." ”

Yuan Yun just wanted to reply, but suddenly heard a loud noise, obviously someone lit a gunpowder bullet, this loud noise was just over, followed by the sound of a volley of muskets, when Yuan Yun was confused, only to hear a herald outside the frame and shouted: "Back to the commander, a large number of enemy troops have been found ahead, and the other party has set up a position, intending to fight with us head-on." ”

The confusion on Yuan Yunyan's face became a little heavier, and when he looked at Pang Tong, the other party was also the same.

After Yuan Yun waved off the herald, Pang Tong said: "The other party seems to be unable to sit still, but he came directly to the door like this, but it makes me very puzzled, lord, let's go to the front and have a look." ”

Yuan Yun also meant this, so soon the two rode to the front.

When he arrived at the front, Pang Tong sighed again, because Zhao Yun arranged this place perfectly, the gunpowder army was divided into three armies, left, middle and right, with musketeers and artillery positions in the middle, and sword and shield men and general infantry on the two wings.

Zhao Yun saw that Yuan Yun and Pang were coming together, he didn't say much, just pointed to the position in front of him, and then said: "There is a hillside ahead, we are going to Hanzhong City, this is the road after all, the enemy seems to know our tactics very well, so the defense line is all placed in the middle of the mountain, our artillery will shoot, the power will be greatly reduced, and they have also dug a lot of caves, each of which can accommodate seven or eight people at the same time, once we bombard it with artillery, they will drill into the hole, so at this moment I did not order the artillery." ”

Yuan Yun followed what Zhao Yun pointed to, and sure enough, halfway up the mountain in the distance, he saw a dense cave, which was simply a copy of the cat's ear hole in the later generations, and the enemy could come up with this method to deal with artillery, it seems that it was really a lot of hard work.

Pang Tong suddenly smiled at this time and said, "Zilong doesn't care if he can blow up the enemy first, let's shoot it first, and it's all about making a noise." ”

Zhao Yun was stunned and wondered: "What is the reason for this?" ”

Yuan Yun didn't wait for Pang Tong to answer, he had already said with a smile: "Deterrence! ”

When the so-called deterrence in Yuan Yun's mouth began, the entire valley could not speak, because the human voices had been completely muffled, and the ears were full of the sound of artillery fire, and there was the smoke and fire that constantly wafted from the nose.

The distant mountainside was now unsightly, with smoke billowing everywhere, some small collapses in some places, and the little snow that could be seen at first was now all scorched.

After the gunpowder army received the supplies sent by Chang'an, Pang Tong was now very generous, so he didn't let the artillery stop firing all afternoon, so it wasn't until the evening that this huge valley was finally cleared.

When the sunset gradually set, Pang Tong had already given Zhao Yun advice, asking him to prepare to deal with the enemy's sneak attack, since the other party came to the door head-on, then he was ready to drag the gunpowder army here, so anything that could make the gunpowder army lose something, they would definitely not let go, such as a sneak attack in the middle of the night.

As for how to prevent the enemy's sneak attack, Zhao Yun didn't seem to have much of a headache, a long time ago, the Luoyang Gunpowder Army already had a complete set of manuals, this thing is something that every gunpowder army soldier must master, Zhao Yun naturally will not be excepted.

Now the front of the gunpowder army is covered with wire arrays, each wire is hung with canisters that can make a sound, the enemy does not come, once it appears, the musketeers can judge the position by the sound, and then there is a burst of blind fire at any cost, and thousands of musket volleys, it is estimated that those who come to sneak attack will definitely not get good.

Just when Zhao Yun was thinking about those tightrope arrays, the sound of muskets came, and when he heard it, the musket team had already organized more than a thousand people to strafe, and the gunshots rang out three times, each time one fell, and the other would immediately follow, so it turned more than twenty rounds.

"These fuckers, it's just nonsense, even if they find that the enemy is sneaking attack, ten rounds of volleys should let the other party retreat, they are good, they put their guns together, and they are all playing." After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he lifted the horsewhip and prepared to go to the front to teach those teams a lesson.

Pang Tong hurriedly stretched out a hand and pressed Zhao Yun's shoulder, and then said with a smile: "Just let them shoot with confidence, anyway, our supplies will continue to be sent from Chang'an, and it doesn't matter if you put two more shots, it's still a good opportunity to practice." ”

Zhao Yun frowned, and finally chose to do it, and then looked at Yuan Yun and said: "Lord, it's not a way to be dragged by the other party like this, why don't I lead the team to rush and kill tomorrow, if we can cut a hole, we can completely tear them to pieces." ”

Yuan Yun glanced outside his tent, then shook his head, and said: "It's going to take action tonight, there is still tomorrow, let's let the other party come to attack first tonight, and wait until ten o'clock in the morning, then it's time to change us, then you will make the brothers in the musket camp happy, and the others will all sleep with their heads buried in their heads, and we will kill them before dawn." ”

Zhao Yun immediately rubbed his hands and was about to do a big job, but Pang Tong couldn't help shaking his head, and then sighed: "The lord must not make fun of the generals in the army like this in the future, if the wrong order is conveyed, won't you lose your own people." ”

After speaking, Pang Tong turned his head to Zhao Yun and said: "At dawn, I used to plant explosives, not really go to sneak attack, sneak attack is just to confuse the enemy, you just shout when you go, don't climb halfway up the mountain, as long as you bury a large number of explosives at the foot of the mountain." ”

Zhao Yun's interest just now turned cold in an instant, and he could only hum and chirp and say: "Where is this war, it's just a child's house, we finished burying those explosive bags, what are we going to do next?" Is it difficult to call the other party to take the initiative to go down the mountain? ”

Pang Tong smiled and said, "We will withdraw our troops at noon tomorrow." ”
