[Yi Tian] It's not easy to be famous and decent

In the early morning of the next day, Yin Liting and Mo Shenggu followed Song Qingshu to the back mountain where the army was stationed. In addition to the dozens of eight-pocket and nine-pocket disciples who were highly skilled in martial arts from the beggar gang, there were also many horsemen The Red Scarf Army.

"Thunderbolt, thunder and fire bomb, I saw by chance when I was doing business with the Semu man. According to what the Semu man said, it was originally a hidden weapon made by someone from the Dashi country in the Western Regions who learned the method of making gunpowder from the Central Plains. It is hidden in this bamboo tube. Vigorous gunpowder is fired with a powerful spring after being ignited, and its power is infinite. I was curious about it, so I asked him to bring a few, and I don’t want to use it today.” At this time, Song Qingshu was holding a small bamboo tube with one end in his hand It was plugged with cotton cloth, but a very thick cotton thread was dragged out.Song Qingshu casually took out the torch, lit the cotton thread, and threw the bamboo tube out forcefully.

The bamboo tube drew an arc in mid-air, and landed in the grass on the hilltop in the distance.Everyone didn't know why, they only heard a loud "bang", the ground shook, the mountains shook, the smoke filled the air, and the bamboo pieces exploded by the gunpowder scattered and scattered, interrupting several bushes of thorns on the top of the mountain.Everyone didn't expect this small piece of bamboo tube to have such power, most of them staggered in shock, their expressions changed.

Yin Liting and Mo Shenggu looked at each other, and rushed up to the mountain in two steps.The two stepped on several flames ignited by the explosion, and saw that the place where the bamboo tube fell had been blown out a few feet deep. The grass and trees on the ground were all scorched black.Yin Liting was silent for a while before shaking his head slowly, and said in a low voice: "Ominous thing!"

At this time, Elder Xu, the elder of the Beggar Clan who taught the skills, had also followed. Hearing what Yin Liting said, he immediately echoed: "This thing is ominous! The sound is like a thunderbolt, and its power is astonishing. It only hurts people's lives in the blink of an eye. If it spreads If we go out, no matter how high the martial arts are, how can we resist the people in the Jianghu? I'm afraid we can't even leave a whole body! Song Qingshu has ulterior motives and wants to ruin my future as a warrior! Chief, this poor thing must not be kept! !" Yuan soldiers attacked and destroyed the main altar of the Beggar Clan. Most of the Beggar Clan's disciples died in battle, and the rest were trapped in Anqing. Only he escaped with a few disciples.In the midst of panic all day long, Mo Shenggu, as the leader of the Beggar Gang, issued an order to do his best to rescue the disciples of the Beggar Gang who were trapped in Anqing.After the main altar was wiped out, Elder Xu took his disciples to hide in the rivers and lakes. When he heard the Red Scarf Army's help to spread the order of the leader, he already knew that no matter whether the disciples of the beggar gang who were trapped in Anqing could be saved in the end, Mo Shenggu has already won the hearts of the disciples of the beggar gang, and has firmly secured the position of gang leader.Elder Xu may have been ambitious and dreamed of becoming the leader of the clan, but now he has accepted his fate and appointed Mo Shenggu as the leader of the clan.As soon as Elder Xu's words fell, all the Beggar Clan disciples were in an uproar. They only looked at Mo Shenggu with piercing eyes, hoping that Song Qingshu would destroy this disaster with his order.

Song Qingshu didn't say anything to refute what Elder Xu said, but only looked at the big hole on the ground with a complicated expression.It turns out that what he just said about the origin of Thunderbolt and Fireball is mostly a lie.He had heard about this thing in his previous life, and the person who told him about it was naturally not the non-existent Semuren, but Zhou Zhiruo who had returned from Spirit Snake Island.

At that time Shaolin captured Xie Xun and wanted to hold a lion-slaying meeting in Shaolin Temple. Zhou Zhiruo wanted to make the Emei sect famous in the lion-slaying meeting, so he ordered Emei disciples to practice martial arts day and night.However, even if Zhou Zhiruo has the "Nine Yin Manual", it is impossible to improve martial arts overnight, not to mention that among the female disciples of the Emei Sect, there are only a handful of them with high comprehension.Zhou Zhiruo's impatience caused complaints from the Emei faction.Song Qingshu couldn't bear to see Zhou Zhiruo worried about the future of the Emei Sect, so he persuaded her to find another way to win by external force.Zhou Zhiruo then mentioned the Thunderbolt Thunderbolt to him. Zhang Wuji's martial arts was still inferior to the Thunderbolt Thunderbolt on Spirit Snake Island.If the Emei sect can possess this thing, no one in the martial arts world can match it.However, Thunderbolt Thunderbolt originated from the Western Regions, and the Emei Sect was not rich, so Zhou Zhiruo just mentioned it casually and didn't take it to heart.

Who knows that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.Song Qingshu has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and the power of gunpowder is also recorded in "Wu Jing Zongyao", "When gunpowder explodes, the sound is like thunder, and the heat reaches more than half an acre. Human and cowhide are broken without trace, and armor and iron are penetrated." .It can be seen that the use of gunpowder on the battlefield was already popular in the Song Dynasty. At that time, after reading this passage, Song Qingshu was fascinated by the power of gunpowder.He is a natural general, and he can see the way at a glance. Although Mongolian iron cavalry is invincible in the world, gunpowder is the nemesis of cavalry.However, the research on gunpowder in the Song Dynasty gradually went astray. In order to pursue greater lethality, gunpowder was not only mixed with iron nails, wood chips, etc., but even lime and pepper were added, which ultimately affected the power of gunpowder. , so that the use of gunpowder on the battlefield gradually declined.That time when he heard Zhou Zhiruo mention that the thunderbolts on Spirit Snake Island were only made of gunpowder and nothing else, he decided to give it a try. He followed the gunpowder formula recorded in the "Martial Arts General Essentials" several times, and indeed made it for him. A powerful gunpowder came.

In order to please Zhou Zhiruo, Song Qingshu deliberately made a lot of gunpowder to strengthen the momentum of Emei disciples.He knew that the gunpowder was powerful enough to attack the city, so he only poured a small amount of gunpowder into the rosary beads used by Emei disciples, and ejected the rosary beads with internal force, the power was not much different from that of mechanical firing.However, at the lion slaughter meeting, Zhou Zhiruo used the Thunderbolt Thunderbolt made by himself to deal with the second uncle and the sixth uncle.Zhou Zhiruo knew that his greatest regret in life was killing Uncle Seven by mistake, even when he was closest to her in the Emei Sect, he never mentioned it.However, at the lion slaughter meeting, she still ordered her disciples to throw thunderbolts at the second and sixth uncles without hesitation, and Song Qingshu couldn't even stop them.If it weren't for the second uncle and sixth uncle's profound knowledge of Taijiquan, he would not be able to atone for his sins even if he went down to the eighteenth floor of hell after receiving the four thunderbolts.

Mo Shenggu also knows the power of this thing, now just one bamboo tube is already so powerful, if ten or eight bamboo tubes are thrown at him at the same time, no matter how high his martial arts are, he may not be able to resist it.Thinking of this, Mo Shenggu asked aloud: "Qingshu, do you want to break the city with this thing?"

Song Qingshu was stunned for a while before withdrawing his thoughts, and slowly said: "That's right!" He couldn't help sighing quietly, and said to himself: In this life, I will use this thunderbolt, thunderbolt, and fireball to attack the city, and it should be considered as a measure. stop!

Before he finished speaking, Elder Xu shouted loudly: "Siege of the city should be done with heavy troops, crashed cars, and hook locks. This thing will hurt the lives of bad guys! Destroy it! Destroy it!"

Elder Xu was so short-sighted in order not to waste his martial arts skills in vain, but Song Qingshu didn't feel annoyed, he just said softly: "Elder Xu, I have practiced martial arts since childhood, I understand your concerns! How could Wang Baobao not know the truth? Now I only have [-] red scarf troops under my command, if there is no trick, I'm afraid you and I will both die outside Tongcheng!"

As soon as Song Qingshu said this, everyone was silent.Elder Xu had spent half his life in the Beggars' Gang, so he naturally didn't want the Beggars' Gang to be wiped out by the Yuan army. He just thought that if this thunderbolt and fireball were spread, no matter how good his martial arts were, he couldn't compare to the power of gunpowder. Looking at Mo Shenggu, he sighed sadly: "Guild Master... Mo Qixia, Guild Master!"

How did you know that Mo Shenggu was silent for a while, and then frowned and shouted: "Why are you so short-sighted? You have never heard that the people of the Great Cannibal in the Western Regions have already used it? If this thing is destroyed, one day the big cannibal will rely on it. Come to enslave us Han people, so what?" As soon as Mo Shenggu said this, Elder Xu was immediately dumbfounded.More than a hundred years ago, the cavalry of the Han people was not as good as that of the Mongols, so they suffered the humiliation of more than a hundred years.Now seeing the tyrannical and fatuous emperor of the Yuan court, the Han people have the hope of avenging their shame.If this gunpowder is destroyed again, what will happen in the future?Thinking about this, everyone shuddered.

Yin Liting was silent for a long time, but he finally opened his mouth on this matter: "Qingshu, is this thing easy to imitate? If Yuan Bing learns it..."

Song Qingshu smiled softly, and said: "Don't worry, Sixth Uncle, the formula for gunpowder is only in my heart, and it will almost never work. I have already poured gunpowder into three hundred knotted bamboo tubes and twenty long bamboos. Breaking the city depends on the power of gunpowder! Teach that Wang Baobao to see the ability of us Han people to conquer the city!" Song Qingshu has a beautiful appearance, standing on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back and smiling slightly facing the rising sun, he is really a peerless wind god.

However, all the disciples of the Beggar Clan and the Red Turban Army felt that his smile was like a fierce tiger that wanted to eat someone, it made people shudder, and they all thought in their hearts: This little bastard, you have such a small mind!If others laughed at his appearance, he would kill someone!Such viciousness is really not to be offended in the slightest!

On the second day, the [-] Red Turban Army led by Song Qingshu was ready to go, and lined up outside Tongcheng in a majestic manner.Wang Baobao, who was standing at the top of the city, saw that there were not many soldiers under Song Qingshu, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, curious about how he could break the city.Wang Baobao has long been a general of hundreds of battles, and he is well-informed about the strategy of attacking the city. The reason for breaking the city is mainly heavy infantry, and the cavalry is only guarded on the two wings. Some generals cherish the cavalry and do not even use the cavalry to fight , Only with human life to pave the way to break the city.Who would have thought that this time, when Song Qingshu went to battle, he first dispatched [-] cavalrymen to line up at the front.Wang Baobao saw that these hundreds of cavalrymen were all wearing heavy armor, but they didn't have a weapon in their hands, so he felt that something was wrong, so he secretly ordered the soldiers around him to prepare horses for him.

Song Qingshu had no time to pay attention to him. He rode on the horse and turned his back to a cavalry team composed of Yin Liting, Mo Shenggu, Elder Xu and other martial arts masters, as well as the red scarf army who were good at riding, and said in a deep voice: "The gunpowder Everyone has seen the power. This place is less than fifty feet away from the city wall, and it doesn't take half a stick of incense for the cavalry to charge. Wang Baobao's flying crossbow troops are very good, so we only need to charge to the first ditch He stopped before, lit all the gunpowder on his body and threw it on the top of the city. As long as the offensive on the top of the city is temporarily suppressed, the next four hundred cavalry can send the twenty long bamboos to the bottom of the city wall. With the gunpowder Wei, this city wall will surely collapse!"

As soon as Song Qingshu said this, everyone was stunned.The city wall of Tongcheng was low and old, but Wang Baobao used his troops extremely well. Song Qingshu suppressed Wang Baobao's troops with gunpowder and blasted the city wall, which was indeed the best way to break the city.Considering that Song Qingshu's military tactics are so superb, everyone no longer dares to despise and make fun of his appearance.The enemy was in front of him, but Song Qingshu didn't pay attention to everyone's complicated thoughts, he just slowly glanced at the team of hundreds of people in front of him, and asked slowly: "Are there any questions?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and replied in unison: "No!"

Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing coldly when he heard the words, and put the ghost mask on his face, and said in a deep voice, "I am invincible!"

"I am invincible!" The team of hundreds of people roared in unison, rushing towards Tongcheng like an arrow off the string.

Wang Baobao's flying crossbow troops were weak at a distance of ten zhang, and occasionally a few crossbow arrows hit the red scarf army, but it didn't hurt.Song Qingshu led a hundred cavalrymen to advance in parallel, and rushed to a place less than ten feet away from the city wall. At the same time, he lit dozens of bamboo tubes hanging on the side of the saddle and threw them towards the city wall.Hearing two loud bangs of "Boom" and "Long", Wang Baobao felt the heat wave blowing towards his face due to the explosion. Many Yuan soldiers on the top of the city were hit by the air wave and fell down the city wall. .However, it was not these people who died most tragically, but those Yuan soldiers who faced the power of the explosion. They didn't even have the time to let out a half-scream. The splashed blood stained the eyes of Chengtou and Wang Baobao blood red.

And in this violent vibration like an earth dragon turning over, Wang Baobao saw hundreds of cavalry charging towards the city wall dragging long bamboos.He no longer had the heart to distinguish the weapons Song Qingshu used to attack the city, he just yelled hysterically: "Retreat! Quickly retreat!" It wasn't that Wang Baobao had no courage, but he knew that the siege weapons used by Song Qingshu were too appalling. Song Qingshu's aura has been completely suppressed by Song Qingshu, and the current situation of the battle is that people use swords and he treats him as fish and meat.

Wang Baobao's prediction was correct, and the battle of Tongcheng was destined to be recorded in the annals of history.Since the end of the Song Dynasty, the use of gunpowder by the Han people on the battlefield has gone astray. After a hundred years of ups and downs, the use of gunpowder has finally returned to the right path, and it has been smooth since then.

After the city wall was blasted, Song Qingshu took the lead and rushed into the city first.He has strong martial arts skills and is merciless in his strikes. With the power to break the city, he blatantly killed him. No one with tens of thousands of soldiers in the city was his single-handed enemy.He alone led the Red Scarf Army infantry and killed three people in and three out of the city. He only killed the defenders of the city, but he didn't see Wang Baobao in the end.Of course Song Qingshu was not happy. After the city was broken, he rode on his horse and yelled loudly: "Wang Baobao, come out and die! Come out and die!"

Wang Baobao had already fled far away, so naturally he would not come out to die as he wished, even the red scarf soldiers and the disciples of the Beggar Clan shrank back at the same time when they saw him riding their horses approaching him, their frightened expressions did not look like they had just beaten him. He won a siege battle where he won more with less, but he seemed to be terrified by Song Qingshu's ferocity.

Mo Shenggu was annoyed and amused at the sight, so he stepped forward and grabbed his reins and said, "Qingshu, the future will be bright!" Looking at the timid red scarf soldiers, he couldn't help but add another sentence. "Don't scare your own people!"

Seeing Wang Baobao fleeing, Song Qingshu was full of resentment. Hearing what Mo Shenggu said, he couldn't help turning to the soldiers behind him in surprise, and asked angrily: "Yuan soldiers claimed to be invincible, but what you see now is nothing more than that! What are you afraid of?"

This battle lasted from twilight to sunset, Song Qingshu's black armor seemed to be fished out of blood, and even the ghost mask had a lot of blood splattered on it.Seeing his ferocious appearance, none of the soldiers dared to answer, they all looked at him timidly and remained silent, with obedient expressions like cats.

Song Qingshu didn't want to bother when he couldn't get out of the question, so he just took off his mask casually, exhaled a bloody breath from his chest, and gave an order: "The army will move out, go to Anqing, and join the disciples of Maitreya Sect!" His gaze couldn't help but condense slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Wang Baobao, he must be at Borotmoor's place!"

Song Qingshu, who was bathed in the shattered gold of the setting sun, was so radiant as if he were a real god, but at this time, no one had time to pay attention.Seeing his murderous aura, all the soldiers were silent for a while, and a bit of sympathy and pity for Borotmoor rose in their hearts inexplicably.

The author has something to say:

Song Qingshu: What are you afraid of?

All the soldiers: Afraid of you!boss!
