Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Marched overnight for more than an hour,

After marching overnight for more than an hour, I saw the Beacon Mountain in the distance.

Li Siye suddenly understood something.

At the foot of Fengshan Mountain, there is a village.

Apparently it was an abandoned village.

A general of the Tang army came to Chen Ying and said, "The general has discovered that the Goguryeo people have an ambush on the mountain!"

Chen Ying sternly shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Fire at the Beacon Mountain!"

With an order, the crossbowmen operating the eight-ox crossbow cannon adjusted their firing angles one after another.

The eight-ox crossbows that can rotate 180 degrees are all temporarily dismantled from the battleship. There are 32 of them, which is a total of 96. The crossbow bolts of these eight-ox crossbows are designed to be hollow.When the eight-ox crossbow was fired, torches were lit around each crossbow.

The first sixty-ninth chapter does not need a strategy to fight

The first sixty-ninth chapter does not need a strategy to fight

The launch of the eight-ox crossbow is far less earth-shattering than the rocket launch.A crossbow gun more than six feet long came out with a whistling sound.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of crossbow arrows and rocket shells hit the Fengshan Mountain.

Immediately, gorgeous sparks appeared on the Beacon Volcano, and each gorgeous spark instantly expanded into fireballs.The small fireballs became bigger and bigger, and quickly formed pieces, pieces, rows, and clumps, forming a frighteningly dense forest of flames, which almost covered the entire Beacon Volcano.

Violent explosions sounded one after another, and the shock wave of the explosion was wrapped in shrapnel, flames and countless gravels, pushing down the conifer pine or uprooting it, and leveling all obstacles it encountered!

Some trees were too tall, and the explosion shock wave failed to uproot them, but it was not easy. The leaves are obviously covered with ice and snow, and they are obviously green and green, but they are burning and crackling!

Li Siye looked at this scene, dumbfounded.

Even Chen Ying was quite surprised.

He can raise his hands and swear in the name of himself and the whole family that this is definitely not a golden finger that he opened quietly.In fact, this was a surprise brought to him by the craftsman of Chen Jiabao, which can be called a horror.

As early as the seventh year of Wude, Chen Ying asked craftsmen to produce granulated black powder, and successfully produced a flammable hand ball.

Even though on the night of the Xuanwumen Incident, the grenade made a great contribution, allowing Chen Ying to overwhelm more than 1000 Qin Palace guards under Li Shimin's command alone, and successfully grasped the situation in the southern Yamen of Taiji Palace.

However, Chen Ying should be deeply dissatisfied with this detonation method, which is still obviously directly ignited, let alone dissatisfied, it can be called abhorrent.

In Chen Ying's memory, the hand bomb should be pulled directly from the ring, then detonated, thrown out, and killed the enemy.Therefore, the pull-tab fuze has become the direction of future research focus.In fact, if Chen Ying wanted to solve this problem, it would be very easy.

For example, a match, the matchhead on the match is actually flammable red phosphorus and sulfur.If these two substances are made into the shape of a pull ring, a pull ring fuze can be made.However, Chen Ying did not think of this.

The worried craftsmen thought about it day and night, and finally came up with a very stupid and stupid method. They made a steel sleeve at the handle of the hand bomb, and put a copper bar full of burrs in the middle. In the middle of the steel sleeve, flint, gunpowder, phosphorus, sulfur, nitrate and broken porcelain chips are stuffed.In this way, once the copper strip is pulled, there will be violent friction between the copper strip and the filling in the middle, and during the friction process, the combustibles will be ignited.Thereby achieving the kind of pull ring that Chen Ying said can detonate the hand bomb.

Now Tiger Yicong's grenadier regiment has all been replaced with this kind of hand bombs detonated by the pull ring.

Naturally, Chen Ying would not be stingy, and gave all the craftsmen who participated in the research and development, and rewarded them with huge rewards ranging from [-] to [-] guan according to their contribution.

These encouraged craftsmen are even more imaginative.I put my mind on the more mature eight-ox crossbow.The damage of the arrowheads of the eight-ox crossbow is too low, and it is amazing to rely on kinetic energy to kill three to five people.However, with the refined fire hole, according to the same weight of the crossbow bolts, a sea of ​​flames with a radius of five steps can be formed. If the same weight of gunpowder is placed, the lethality will increase to ten times or more.

As a result, the craftsmen began to use their brains to detonate the arrowheads in this way, except that the hand ring is slightly different in that the hand ring is pulled outward, while the crossbow arrows use the huge inertia and impact force of the crossbow machine, poke it in.It is also the same way of detonating by friction. The arrow shaft of the rocket is no longer a wooden rod, but a hollow steel pipe, which is filled with refined kerosene or gunpowder.

Although this is not Chen Ying's golden finger, but the effect is the same.

As one after another, the crossbow arrows flew towards Fengshan Mountain with arcs, and Fenghuo Mountain became a purgatory. I don’t know how many Goguryeo soldiers were involved in the fire, and there were no bones left, let alone how many people were trapped in the fire. Struggling and crying, but who else could save them?And who dares to rush out of the entire Beacon Mountain?

Fortunately, the eight-ox crossbow has a limited range, and the range of more than 800 steps can reach the mountainside at best.

However, the beacon fire that was ignited by countless crossbow guns, the burning company has been irreversible.

As the saying goes, the wind borrows the power of the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind, and the fire burns bigger and bigger.

Yuan Gai Suwen, who was on the top of the mountain, his eyes were red, he brandished a horizontal knife and shouted at the bottom of the mountain: "Despicable! Shameless! Come up and fight if you have the guts, what's the point of just hiding at the bottom of the mountain? You cowards, ah..."

He roared and slashed wildly with a horizontal knife, looking like he was crazy, he was really going crazy!

Originally, he learned that the Tang army crossed the sea and landed from the Wei River.Just as Su Dingfang guessed, Yuangai Suwen immediately thought of Beacon Mountain. This was the only chance for Goguryeo to stop the Tang army from attacking Pyongyang.

Therefore, Yuangai Suwen volunteered to lead more than [-] Goguryeo soldiers to ambush in Fenghuo Mountain and Dacheng Mountain, preparing to attack Chen Yinglai on both sides when the Tang army attacked Pyongyang City from Haipu.

In fact, when Chen Ying was in Haipu, Yuan Gai Suwen had already sent scouts to scout Chen Ying's movements.

However, Yuan Gai Su Wen was confused by Chen Ying's fake action. Chen Ying made a posture in Haipu to build a permanent military camp. In this way, Chen Ying might not attack Pyongyang in a short time. In five days he needs to shrink his troops.

Just like hitting someone with a fist, you must first retract your fist and concentrate your strength before you can hit your opponent.

However, Chen Ying is obviously not a person who plays cards according to common sense. When Yuansu Gaiwen mobilized more troops to ambush in the mountainous area west of Pyongyang City, Chen Ying took advantage of the night to launch a night attack on the Beacon Mountain, Dacheng Mountain and Mudanfeng area. .

Of course, Chen Ying did not order the troops to attack the mountain overnight. The effect of such an attack on the mountain was just to hit the stone with the pebbles, except for the early stage. Once the Goguryeo ambush was discovered, Chen Ying could only attack by force.

However, Chen Ying had no intention of attacking the mountains at all. He used this new type of rocket, gunpowder and kerosene to turn the three mountains into volcanoes.

Yuan Gai Suwen almost gritted his teeth, but seeing the crossbow arrows continuously flying from down the mountain, and every arrow falling was filled with blood and flesh, he realized that there was no way to fight this ambush.

Yuan Gai Suwen gritted his teeth and suggested that everyone abandon the ambush and retreat to Pyongyang.

This suggestion was unanimously supported by everyone. The Goguryeo ambush soldiers almost scrambled and crawled to escape from the ambush mountain, escaped from the effective range of the Tang army's eight-ox crossbow, and retreated to Pyongyang in a panic.

On the way to retreat, everyone felt heavy. Xisanshan was the only geographical advantage they could rely on. Once this advantage was lost, would they still have hope?

In particular, the battleground for military strategists, which is as steep as a beacon volcano, has become a volcano, and it is only a matter of time before Tang Jun burns it to nothing.

Even Dashan is like this, does Pyongyang still have a chance?

The small city of Pyongyang is likely to be flattened by the Tang army, and the food, grass and ordnance stored in the city will also be wiped out...

Finally, when it was almost dawn, Yuan Gai Suwen led the remnants of the defeated generals to a place less than five miles away from Pyongyang City.

This is a large open plain and an open land.

Looking at the Pyongyang city in the distance, Yuansu Gaiwen felt uneasy.

Especially looking back at the less than [-] remnant soldiers and defeated generals behind him, he can't see any hope for the future of Goguryeo.

At this moment, his eyelids began to twitch wildly.

The snowdrifts in the distance seemed to be moving.

That's right, Yuan Gai Su Wen was not dazzled.

Those snowdrifts were moving. To be precise, these snowdrifts were disguises of Tang army officers and soldiers, pulled on the snow-colored camouflage uniforms, revealing their true faces under the camouflage.

Yuan Gai Suwen looked around in shock, but saw the entire army formation standing still, like a black mountain.The number of Tang troops is small, about three to four thousand.Less than a quarter of Yuan Gai Suwen's.
