Chapter 599 Taishi Demonstrates Playing with Gunpowder
?Linji City and Linzi City are only fifty miles apart, and the two cities are only one word apart, but from a military perspective, they have completely different values and meanings.
If Linzi City is compared to the heart of Qingzhou, then Linji City is the belly button of Qingzhou. The importance of the heart is naturally undeniable, but the belly button is hard to say. This thing is of no use except for the black and smelly nest.
Yuan Shao really didn't want to stay in the navel position, but Kong Rong occupied the position of his heart and did not move, so he had to stay in Linji for the time being. As long as the two armies of Yan Liang and Wen Chou took the Xia Pi of Xuzhou, he would lead the army south without hesitation and no longer feel upset when he looked at Kong Rong's guy.
Unfortunately, what Yuan Shao didn't know was that this simple wish could not be realized at all, and even the dream was broken, because Taishi Ci had already arrived!
It seems that the shadow in his heart that he had seen Taocheng in his own eyes was always in his heart after seeing him blown away by Zhao Xing. Now, no matter where he goes, he habitually protects himself from the three floors inside and the three floors outside. Linji City was originally a medium-sized city, and its overall defense was naturally not as good as that of Linzi City. However, since Yuan Shao came, he captured a large number of people from nearby to strengthen Linji City day and night, and his defense has been greatly enhanced.
In order to prevent the armored vehicles and carriages of Jin State (pronounced "Fenyun") from easily blowing up the city gate, Yuan Shao specially ordered his men to widen and deepen the moat outside Linji City. The scale was even close to the moat of Wohu City. Not to mention that it was large and bulky equipment such as armored vehicles were difficult to approach, but it was hard to say whether the ladder was long enough.
What makes people even more terrifying is that most of the gunpowder produced secretly was used as a secret weapon to protect Linji. Not only did people store a large amount of gunpowder in key parts of the city, but they also buried ** under the streets near the city gate. Yuan Shao's mentality and practice of nouveau riche are really speechless. However, in order to deal with the powerful Jin ** team, it seems that only by posing in such a way that he died with the enemy, he might be able to survive.
Facing Linji City, which is so tightly defended, how should Taishici speak?
According to the standardized siege steps of the professor of the Wohu Martial Arts Hall, before taking action against Linji, Taishici first sent a large number of spies to sneak into Linji City and conducted a meticulous reconnaissance of the situation in the city. Yuan Shao did not occupy Linji for a long time, and there were two large armies fighting outside, so it was difficult for the personnel entering and leaving Linji to control, which provided great convenience for the actions of the Shadow Team members.
Through open and secret investigations, the Shadow team members not only found out the defense of Yuan Shao's mansion, but also basically mastered the location where Yuan Shao buried his hukou everywhere in the city. They reported this important intelligence secret to Taishi Ci, which immediately attracted the high attention of Taishi Ci.
Taishici can now be called an expert on how to maximize the combat effectiveness of gunpowder. Because Zhao Xing required the large warships of the Jin Navy to have the ability to project long-rangely, this requires Taishici, as the main general, to have very rich experience and insights on how to use dangerous gunpowder on wooden ships.
In order to realize Zhao Xing's instructions to install firearms on the warships, Taishici has followed the shipyard masters to conduct experiments and plan demonstrations this year. He lit the fuse again and again, looking at the wooden ship model that was instantly ignited or directly blown up by gunpowder due to improper operation, and repeatedly seeking breakthroughs between depression and deflation.
Until recently, gunpowder weapons that can be safely fired appeared on the Hailong warship, but the appearance of this weapon is completely different from the catapult car used by the Jin Army, because its appearance looks like a long bucket, and the sky-blasting thunder ejected from the middle of the thick "bucket" and no longer was thrown out like before.
Although the jet speed is not as fast as the shot, the distance is farther than the catapult. Once the two navy fight on the water, the side with the fists that stretches farther will naturally be cheaper than the fists. As long as the wooden hull is kissed by the sky thunder, the blazing flames will immediately cause the warship to lose its combat capability.
After learning that Yuan Shao had a large amount of gunpowder reserved in Linji City for self-protection, Taishi Ci thought briefly and discovered Yuan Shao's weakness. He instructed the Shadow Team members to sneak into Linji City again with a small amount of strong sluts and ignite them quietly in the dead of night. Because of the small number of these sluts, they not only facilitate hiding and carrying them in other things, but also do not pose too much danger to the carrier themselves.
Taishici's method of dealing with Yuan Shao was to use the method of "shocking the snakes" to make the Shadow Team members ignite the large "firecrackers" around Yuan Shao's mansion at the same time, which would only make a huge explosion sound, but would not cause casualties, just to scare Yuan Shao to doubt the safety of the gunpowder buried in the city. Once Yuan Shao realized that it was not safe to bury a large amount of gunpowder in the city, he would definitely send someone to dig out the gunpowder for transfer. After this, Taishici's opportunity came.
The Shadow Team members who sneaked back to Linji City carefully carried out this "shocking" action. They either dressed up as farmers who went to the city to sell vegetables in the nearby countryside, dressed up as refugees who came to visit their relatives, or dressed up as wandering doctors, wandered aimlessly in the streets and alleys in Linji City. When they were late, they would honestly find a place to live. Their words and deeds were no different from other ordinary people, and they greatly deceived Yuan Shao's eyes of a large number of spies inserted in the city.
One night, Yuan Shao, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly heard the sound of explosions one after another, which was shocked that his soul was rising. He hurriedly found his personal guards to ask what had happened. Soon, the general in charge of the security guard in the city came to report to him, saying that someone had secretly damaged the damage and used the ** in the place where a large amount of gunpowder was buried and around the Yuan Mansion. Fortunately, it did not cause a larger explosion.
Yuan Shao calmed down a little, and after careful consideration, he felt scared. Originally, he thought that as long as he buried gunpowder at important intersections and streets in the city, if the Jin army broke through the city gate, he could ignite a large number of ** and cause huge casualties. Now it seems that this idea is very dangerous. If the gunpowder is ignited by the spy sent by the Jin State this time, it would be a waste of time and shoot himself in the foot.
So Yuan Shao called out several generals overnight and ordered them to take action while no one was paying attention at night, dig out all the gunpowder that was originally buried in the city, transported it out of the city overnight, and directly sent it to Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were still fighting on the battlefield in Xuzhou. ~ See the first release without any advertisements, please come to "
