Chapter 259: Firearms

On the city wall, Chu He looked at the three people in the distance, and his eyes flashed with a glint of light

The cyan golden dragon banner on the head of the city fluttered in the wind, and Diao Chan followed silently behind him.

Originally, Diao Chan was resting in Chuzhai Manor, but when he heard that Lu Bu was going to go on an expedition, he rushed to see him off, but Sun Lin and Hongmei were training female soldiers in Chuzhai.

"Husband, was the Son of Heaven really killed by Yuan Shao?" Diao Chan looked at Chu He and asked softly.

Chu He looked back and smiled slightly, but said: "This Han family has been broken, since this crime has fallen on Yuan Shao's head, he deserves to be unlucky!" Let's take this opportunity to eradicate this wild wolf next to the couch! ”

"Cicada thinks that no matter what Yuan Shao does, the main target at this moment is Dong Zhuo!" Diao Chan said her different opinions, although she stayed in Changshan, but the information outside was extremely clear, plus what Lu Bu had talked about before, she faintly felt that Dong Zhuo was even more terrifying than Yuan Shao.

However, Chu He didn't think so, Dong Zhuo was terrible because of Lu Bu and Li Ru, these right-hand men had been cut off by Chu He, and Dong Zhuo could only rely on Li Dao and Niu Fu and others.

It's just that Dong Zhuo, who has no strategists, may not be easy to rise up in Dongshan and compete for dominance in the world.

Whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, both of them have famous men in the army to follow, although Yuan Shao's crime is set this time, but it is impossible for the princes to unite and crusade against Yuan Shao together.

Therefore, Chu He seized the time to unify Jizhou, and then plotted to merge the state.

Ordering Zhang Fei to take Leping is a ploy of Chu He, and his implication is that Zhang Fei and others attract Yuan Shao's attention, and after Jizhou is stabilized, he will send troops to Huguan and take the party directly......

However, these will not be decided until after Jizhou is recovered.|i^

Chu He pulled Diao Chan slowly down the city, and the surrounding soldiers saluted, and the two did not stop, and went directly to Ma Jun's place.

According to Ma Jun, four days have passed, and the rocket should probably be manufactured.

Out of the south gate, the two of Chu He, accompanied by the guards, came to the peach orchard, which has become Ma Jun's shiyan field since that rebellion.

In order to ensure the safety of the horses, Chu He was specially equipped with 2,000 people to escort them.

"Meet the Lord!" Song Xin was also there at this time, the winter snow had not yet melted, and Tanaka's affairs did not need her to manage, and she was accompanying Ma Jun Shiyan's new rocket at the moment.

Sou!

Before Chu He and the others entered the courtyard, they heard a sound breaking through the air in front of them, Chu He couldn't help but move, looked at Song Xin and said with a smile: "Ma Ke has studied it?" ”

"Lord Wang, let's go see it yourself!" Song Xin hugged his hands slightly and said with a smile.

Chu He stepped forward quickly, and came to a clearing in the peach grove in three or two steps, where four hive crossbows more than one person high were placed, and the arrow hives on them were already filled with arrows glowing with cold light.

Unlike the mechanically rotating beehive crossbows, these have a long lead at the back, and the hives are made of wood and iron.

Ma Jun was frowning in front of a crossbow, holding a torch in his hand, and the lead behind the crossbow had burned out.

"Master Ma, have you succeeded?" Chu He stepped forward and looked at the rocket pierced on the scarecrow in the distance, Chu He said with a slight smile.

Ma Jun hurriedly waved his hand, shook his head and wrote on the paper: "My lord, the firing principle has been successfully studied, but the power is not as powerful as the machine, and it is not perfect!" ”

"Oh? What is the reason for this? Chu He's heart moved, but he didn't expect that there was anything else that could be difficult to stop Ma Jun.

Ma Jun sighed and continued to write: "There is nothing wrong with the gunpowder formula, and there is nothing wrong with the launcher, I really don't know!" ”

With that, Ma Jun went to check the transmitter again, trying to find the answer from within.

"Could it be a lack of gunpowder? This recipe is only used to persist in artillery battles, if it is to be used to launch rockets, is the ratio of raw materials in it to be slightly changed! Chu He frowned, pondered for a while, but then spoke.

As soon as his words fell, Ma Jun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked forward, but his mouth kept saying: "Matching...... Ratio ......"

Song Xin couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect Ma Jun to have a moment when he didn't stutter, and a touch of joy came to his heart.

When I returned to Changshan Palace, it was already night.

Chu He sat in the inner room, sipping the tea on the table, and Diao Chan gently massaged behind him.

"Sister Cicada, my husband is too tired these days and rarely comforts you, so I will hurt you today!" Saying that, Chu He slowly put his hand on Diao Chan's hand.

Diao Chan's face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head shyly, but he hummed.

"It's beautiful!"

Chu He got up, turned his head to look at the sable cicada who was about to let go, couldn't help but caress the falling hair, and breathed in a faint fragrance emanating from the sable cicada.

"Really?" Diao Chan looked at Chu He happily and asked.

Looking at each other, Chu He smiled slightly, lightly imprinted a mark on Diao Chan's forehead, his hands slowly fell to Diao Chan's waist, and his eyes were fiery and said: "Cicada is the most beautiful!" ”

"Nasty!" Diao Chan looked at Chu He and couldn't help but say, the big hand on his waist was gently caressed, and the waist like a thin willow was soft and powerful, full of elasticity.

Chu He gently forced, held Diao Chan in his arms, stroked the waterfall-like hair, bent over to pick Diao Chan up, and walked towards the inner room.

……

At night, Lu Bu's army broke through the three cities of Anbang, Anguo, and Anxi in one day, and was camping and resting dozens of miles away from Zhongshan Kingdom.

"Be careful all the way!" In front of the camp, Lu Bu took Chen Gong Pan Feng Huaxiong to send Guo Jia and the two out, hugged hands and said.

Guo Jia and Lu Zhi went to Youzhou to form an alliance, and they didn't bring too many people, just two people riding fast horses, in order not to leak their identities, both of them wore the clothes of ordinary rich families.

This time, Lu Bu sent troops, but he took the initiative to invite the two to join, but when he was escorted here, Lu Bu couldn't send more, so he could only let the two go at night.

Zhongshan City is already brightly lit, the prime minister is anxiously discussing with the generals in the palace at the moment, Chu He is the king, and he has already informed them, but the cities of Jizhou did not show their hearts to Chu River, they thought that Chu He would not send troops to fight, but they did not expect that it would be in the New Year.

"Pan Feng, you take people to Zhongshan City and recruit Zhongshan! Tell them that I'm only giving them one night, and if they haven't decided tomorrow morning, after the sun has risen, don't blame me for being ruthless! Lu Bu came to the camp, looked at Pan Feng who came with him and said.

"No!" Pan Feng received the military order, prepared men and horses in his own camp, and galloped away in the direction of Zhongshan City in the distance.

Then Lu Bu said to Hua Xiong: "Hua Xiong, you lead 5,000 troops and ambush outside Zhongshan City, if the defenders of Zhongshan City send troops to attack Pan Feng, you can take Zhongshan City directly, if they can't hold out, you will come back with Pan Feng!" ”
