Time back to an hour ago, the Tang Army's surprise attack troops under the leadership of Suning slowly advanced to Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo, the night of the dark moon and high wind, the surrounding area has been swept away, and the road to rush is finished during the day, Suning wants to thank the slow speed of information transmission in this era, if it is modern, a mobile phone can change the situation of the battlefield, but now, the surprise attack force arrived in the Pyongyang area before all the information arrived in Pyongyang.

In the distance, the outline of the big city can already be seen, Suning let the army lurk in a large forest in the south of Pyongyang City, personally led the troops to reconnoiter the city, the defense is normal, the lights are normal, a qiē is normal, and there is nothing special in it, looking at this city, Suning can't help but think of the first battle in his life, the sneak attack on Dingxiang City, in fact, when he later told Li Jing that the process was complete, Li Jing was dumbfounded.

Because in ancient times, at night, the city gate was closed, and without the permission and order of the city lord, the city gate would not be opened before dawn, and the reason why Suning could deceive the city gate in that way was mainly because the defender of the city at that time would be a Turk, and the main army was also a Turkic soldier, and even the city lord was a Turk, so the city defender did not report to the city lord at all, and directly waved his hand to let them go out to take a look, and the result was cheaper Suning.

But this city is definitely not able to rely on that method to deceive the city gate, Suning knows very well that this city is the capital or the capital of Goguryeo, which has a fairly civilized Cheng dù, if you want to learn from the original trick of the Turks to deceive the Goguryeo people. There is absolutely no good end, so if you want to open the city gate and let the army raid it, Suning has only one way, use gunpowder to blow the city gate open!

That's right, it's gunpowder, and only by relying on the power of gunpowder can we blow up the city gate when the moon is dark and the wind is high! After Suning visited Changsun Chong. In fact, I also went to the palace. Parting with Li Chenggan, I also went to see Li Tai by the way, this guy is addicted to gunpowder research, and he can cause explosions almost every day. Therefore, Li Ermajesty specially built a small palace for him in a relatively remote place. Let him toss on his own.

Don't really say it. He also really tossed out some things, such as a small bamboo tube of gunpowder that could only kill a dog or a person, and it was quite close. It doesn't have actual combat effect, but he doesn't know how to get it, and he really increased the power of gunpowder several times, Suning just walked into his small palace, he heard a deafening explosion, and the whole person almost fell at the gate of the palace, and the four accompanying guards had all collapsed to the ground.

Suning quickly ran into his palace, and when he saw it, good guy, there were broken stones and loess everywhere, and he understood why when he asked! He didn't know when he made an earthen wall in his compound, he listened to Suning's words, and thought that only when gunpowder had siege effect was it a real gunpowder weapon, and it was valuable, and then

He had people simulate the structure of the city wall, and made a miniature wall in his yard, and every day he studied more powerful gunpowder to try to blow the wall.

According to Suning, winning by quantity is not a success, no matter how weak the weapon is, as long as the number is enough, it can still kill a giant elephant, but we can't have enough weapons at any time, when we don't have enough weapons, a crossbow is worth the power of a thousand spears.

Only good is the right way.

He was not satisfied with blowing up the earthen wall with an absolute amount of gunpowder, in fact, since that incident, Li Erma Xià forbade him to continue to test the gunpowder in the palace, so as not to cause panic, generally speaking, the task of gunpowder making zuò will be handed over to Suning to study in the suburbs, but Li Tai is still unwilling to give up, and secretly tested many times in the palace, and finally forced Li Erma Xià to compromise, put him in the most marginal imperial city, let him get it himself, and planted a lot of big trees around his experimental area.

But even so, the sound of explosions that will occur every day will still make Li Er Xi very frightened, after a long time, it is not strange, sometimes you can't hear the sound of explosions, you will feel strange, will send people to ask, Li Tai obtained the permission of the real yàn, often send the newly developed gunpowder to the suburbs of the gunpowder workshop for production, and then large-scale real yàn, after the results are not satisfied, he will once again carry out the real yàn, strengthen the effect.

Later, he was too lazy to always go to the suburbs to get it, so he made a wall in the yard, so there was the scene of that day, Suning was indeed shocked, but when Li Tai saw Suning, he was indeed quite excited and excited, he said that he finally succeeded, put gunpowder on the side of this earthen wall, detonated, and then the earthen wall was blown up like this!

Suning looked at it, and indeed admired, the thickness of this earthen wall is almost the same as the city wall, of course, the material is not as good as the Chang'an city wall, but there are also some stones and other things in the loess, and the hardness and quality will not be much worse than the city wall, and Li Tai himself said that the gunpowder used is almost a barrel of quantity, and he forced this earthen wall to open a two-person high hole in the middle, almost half of the thickness of the entire earthen wall, although it failed to destroy the earthen wall, but Suning believes that as long as it comes again, This earthen wall must not be able to escape.

Suning immediately conceived in his mind that when he raided a certain city, he piled up these gunpowder at the gate of the city and then detonated them! Hiss~~~ This sour, I can't believe it!

So, there was a prelude to today's battle, Suning took Xue Rengui to check the city wall, Xue Rengui frowned and said: "This battle is not easy to fight, Su Hou, you see that the city wall is very strictly defended, if you don't open the city gate during the day, it will be difficult for us to enter this city, Su Hou, we have to be careful!" After all, this is the capital of Goguryeo. ”

Suning smiled coldly: "It's because it's the capital, so we have to take it by surprise, when it comes to the day, those soldiers and horses are already on guard, we have to give them a ruthless one when they are defenseless, enter it, set fire to the city, kill them all, and kill all the officials of Goguryeo." The foundations of the whole country will be destroyed by us! Goguryeo will not be a country! ”

Xue Rengui was shocked: "Su Hou, this idea is naturally good, but, but we also need a moment, there is no possibility of breaking through at night, and there is no internal response, and we can't open the city gate, this, how is this good?" ”

Suning said: "Rengui, what do you think." The sound of thunder and explosions that often occurs around Chang'an City. What is the sound? ”

Xue Rengui didn't know why: "Su Hou didn't say, that's, it's called, right." Gunpowder. It's gunpowder. Su Hou, what kind of medicine is this gunpowder? Can you eat it? The sound is so loud, how can you eat it? ”

Suning looked at Xue Rengui speechlessly: "Who told you that you ate gunpowder?" ”

Xue Rengui habitually touched his head and melon seeds: "Isn't it medicine?" Don't. This gunpowder is applied externally, not internally? Toxic when taken internally? No, the sound is so loud, and the external application is also terrible! ”

Suning sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll sue you, this gunpowder, it's not a medicinal material, it's a weapon, a terrible weapon!" A grain of gunpowder is not to be feared, but a pile of gunpowder is gathered together, placed in a wooden barrel, and after it is ignited and detonated, as long as you stand in its attack range, you can blow up your bones and bones, no matter how high your martial arts are, you can't withstand the explosion of this gunpowder!

Before leaving, there has been a breakthrough in the development of gunpowder, and you know the thickness of the walls of Chang'an City, right? Just that thickness, the city wall made of earth and stone, and the ordinary wooden barrel is so bucket, directly blasting the earthen wall out of a two-person high, half-thickness hole of the earthen wall, as long as there is another guy, the earthen wall as thick as the Chang'an city wall will be completely abolished! Do you understand? You know what kind of power that is, you know? ”

Xue Rengui looked at Suning with the eyes of an alien: "Su Hou, aren't you joking?" Gunpowder? Fire...... How powerful can medicine be? Trebuchets can't do it! ”

Suning sneered: "Trebuchet? Do you know that the Ministry of Industry is still working on another new weapon, called artillery, which is used with gunpowder, and if it succeeds, these walls will be nothing more than a chicken and a dog, and they will collapse at the touch of a button, so why bother when we attack a city? Bring a hundred artillery pieces to bombard this city wall, without a stick of incense, the city wall will inevitably collapse and collapse, and our army can directly rush into the city and completely crush it! ”

Xue Rengui grew up with a mouth, and was completely speechless, when the age of gunpowder came, although cold weapons still maintained their power in some places, but in the frontal large-scale battlefield, cold weapons will always give way to hot weapons, although this process will be maintained for hundreds of years, but under the promotion of Suning, Suning himself feels that in Datang, it may not take three or four hundred years to fully enter the gunpowder age.

No matter how surprised Xue Rengui was, Suning called the four guards and said to them: "Let the gunpowder team divide all the gunpowder in half, smuggle it into the city gate, pile it up, leave a long enough lead, and then come back quickly, Rengui, you go to straighten out the soldiers and horses, once the explosion is over, we and the army will immediately prepare to storm the enemy city, without the slightest delay, the military situation is urgent, if you can't do it, you will not be spared!" Also, tell the soldiers to plug the ears of the horses with a cloth ball, and they must be plugged up, and they must also plug their own ears, and after the explosion, I will give the order before I can take them off! ”

"This ......" Xue Rengui was a little puzzled.

Suning frowned: "Go!" ”

Xue Rengui couldn't be puzzled, and immediately took the order: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

The first time in history to attack the enemy with gunpowder weapons is about to begin, this is the first time in history in this time and space, the first time to use gunpowder weapons in war, or in siege battles, Suning feels that according to the current research progress, it is not so difficult to create the most primitive artillery, as long as the problem of increasing the range of spirals is solved, the trial of artillery can begin, and the launch of solid shells can also be carried out for the trial stage of siege.

Of course, the emergence of artillery does not mean that cold weapons fall out of favor, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty when gunpowder weapons and their prevalence, cold weapons are still the mainstream, the overall army of the Ming Dynasty has nearly 50 percent of the proportion of firearms, the number and types of firearms are surprisingly high, many prototypes of modern firearms have appeared in the Ming Dynasty army in the sixteenth century, playing their own role.

However, these firearms still did not replace the role of cold weapons, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty failed to stop the raging Jurchen iron cavalry, which proves that in the seventeenth century, the power of firearms could not stop the cavalry attack, so until the Napoleonic era, there was still the formation of cavalry troops on the European continent, and the life and vitality of cold weapons have always been very tenacious.

Even if artillery appears in the Tang Dynasty, Suning will not rashly promote gunpowder weapons, which requires research, research and production for a long, long time, before it can be equipped with the army.

The gunpowder has been placed, and the length of the lead is enough, and Suning saw a spark in the darkness slowly moving his figure to the front, Suning took out the cloth ball and blocked the ears of Aimalaifu, and asked the soldiers around him to do the same, and then blocked his ears, and covered them with his hands, adding two layers of protection.

This gunpowder is not too powerful, but this sound is definitely a disaster......

Soon, soon, soon...... It's about to begin...... (To be continued......)
