If he hadn't been forced to rush in Jiulong County, he wouldn't have fiddled with the explosives.
It's just that now that the light has been exposed, gunpowder can't be hidden.
"Ziyou, do you still have that thunderbolt in your house? Quickly demonstrate it to me and all my lovers." Li Er couldn't wait to see the power of gunpowder with his own eyes.
Li Wangyou was speechless, who the hell is full to store such a dangerous thing at home?
are you crazy?
He was about to shake his head when he suddenly remembered that in the manor mansion, Niu Wu and the others used it to make gunpowder in the hut where there seemed to be unused gunpowder stored.
For the sake of confidentiality and safety, Li Wangyou ordered people to build a small stone house in a remote corner of the manor mansion, which was specially used to make gunpowder, firecrackers and fireworks.
Yin Shiyuan Gai Suwen's mad dog was also raised in that hut back then.
Because they don't know when the firecrackers and fireworks will be used, Niu Wu and the others do have some leftover stocks of gunpowder.
"Uncle, there is indeed some gunpowder in my nephew's house. My nephew immediately ordered someone to prepare it."
Since Li Er wants to watch it, let's watch it.
Li Wangyou ordered Niu Wu to prepare silk, and according to the method of making explosives in Jiulong County, together with the Zhang brothers, he made all the remaining gunpowder into explosives.
Then find a remote place in the mansion, dig out some earth cannon barrels, and show Li Er and others the flying thunder cannon later.
Thanks to Li Wangyou's mansion, which occupies a huge area, with hundreds of acres of land, it is not a problem to find a remote area that can be used as a shooting range.
Because gunpowder is readily available, Niu Wu and the Zhang brothers didn't spend much effort to make several explosive kits.
After Li Er, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and other military leaders witnessed the earth-shattering effect of the explosive package with their own eyes, they were all shocked again, and they were all dumbfounded and silent.
Cheng Yaojin looked at the big crater blown out by the explosive package, and reached out to touch his head.
"Zhiniang, this thunderbolt is really amazing! This kind of divine power that destroys heaven and earth, even if a hundred refined steel meets it, it can be crushed into powder and fly ash, let alone this person's flesh and blood. body."
"This thing is truly unfathomable! Shocking Thunder...It really lives up to its name!" After a long time, Li Ercai heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Li Wangyou: "Ziyou, this Shocking Thunder is probably taught to you by Dao Patriarch." Bar?"
Li Wangyou was taken aback for a moment, and nodded quickly, "Yes, what uncle said is correct, it is the teacher who taught me to my nephew. Uncle, don't blame my nephew for not telling uncle before. It is really the teacher who said something, which is shocking." This thing is not allowed to be used by my nephew unless it is absolutely necessary, this thing is too powerful and may harm Tianhe."
He found that it was really good for the ghost to pull out a Dao Patriarch Master, and everything can be pushed to Dao Patriarch.
If anyone doesn't believe it, go and confront Daozu himself.
Having witnessed the power of gunpowder, whether it is Li Er, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and other bigwigs, they no longer have any doubts about the fact that Li Wangyou is a direct disciple of the Taoist ancestor.
Apart from Taoist ancestors, where else in the world can we find such immortal methods?
Li Er listened to Li Wangyou's explanation, but nodded in approval: "I understand Ziyou's painstaking efforts, don't worry, I will not use this thing at will."
Li Wangyou shook his head: "Uncle is wrong, Master just doesn't allow my nephew to use it at will. But if my Tang cavalry uses this thunderbolt, it doesn't matter."
He is not a pedantic person. There is no difference between killing with gunpowder and killing with a sword, let alone which method is more cruel.
If gunpowder is used, it can reduce the casualties of the Tang cavalry, and Li Wangyou is even more happy to see it succeed.
Li Er nodded, indicating that he understood.
But immediately after hearing Li Wangyou say something, Li Er, Cheng Yaojin and others were stunned.
"However, from my nephew's point of view, Uncle should keep the Sky-shaking Thunder and Flying Thunder Cannon a secret for the time being, and it's better not to use them for a short time..."
952 The Heartbreaker
Li Er was puzzled and asked, "Ziyou, what do you mean by that? Can you explain one or two things?"
Li Wangyou didn't answer and asked instead: "Uncle, the Turkic people have surrendered to my Tang's confidant, this is my uncle's inexorable feat. But I don't know what country uncle thinks will threaten Datang now?"
What he said made Li Er and the big bosses frown slightly, and after a while Li Er said: "In my opinion, Goguryeo in the north will be the confidant of the Tang Dynasty from now on!"
Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and others also nodded one after another.
The three expeditions to Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty were unsuccessful, and they returned in a disastrous defeat. The heads of countless Han soldiers were built into the capital by Goguryeo people.
Even after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the relationship between Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty was decent on the surface, but in fact, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty were thinking about another northern expedition and destroying Goguryeo all the time.
Historically, Li Er personally conquered Goguryeo in the 19th year of Zhenguan.
After Tang Taizong ascended the throne in the Xuanwumen Incident, in addition to defending the 20 cavalry of East Turkic Jieli Khan, he personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six cavalry to the edge of the Weishui River, negotiated with Jieli Khan, and signed a Outside of the Weishui alliance, the conquest of Goguryeo was the only time he personally conquered Goguryeo after he ascended the throne, which shows how much he attaches importance to Goguryeo.
"Liaodong is the land of China, and the Sui family went out four times and couldn't get it; I am going to the east now, and I want to avenge my children for China, and I am ashamed of Mr. Xue!"
This is what Tang Taizong Yujia said before his personal conquest in history.
Li Wangyou smiled and shook his head: "Uncle, gentlemen, from my nephew's point of view, Goguryeo is only a disease of ringworm and scabies. Goguryeo was not able to conquer three times in the former Sui Dynasty, but it's not that Goguryeo is so powerful, it's just that the former Sui Dynasty made too many mistakes. In addition It is not easy to supply food and grass, and the weather in Liaodong is extremely cold."
"Oh? Ziyou, you actually despise Goguryeo so much?" Li Er was slightly displeased when he heard this.
Li Wangyou quickly explained: "Uncle, it's not that my nephew despises me, but my Tang Dynasty is different from the former Sui Dynasty."
"What is the difference?"
"Uncle and the princes, did they forget the four-wheeled carriage? Not to mention, the four-wheeled carriage alone can ensure that the food and grass of my Tang cavalry have no worries. As for the severe winter, it is not a problem. My nephew has his own way to solve it." .”
He smiled and looked at Li Er, Cheng Yaojin and the others: "Uncle, my lords, if I don't have to worry about food and grass, and don't suffer from the severe cold, as for the fortified city of Goguryeo..."
Li Wangyou smiled and pointed to those craters that were blown out by explosives: "My nephew doesn't think that the city walls of the Goguryeo people can withstand the thunder of thunder. In this way, what will Goguryeo use to stop my Tang cavalry? Don't my nephew I believe that Goguryeo is still qualified to be my Tang's confidant!"
After he finished speaking, Li Er, Cheng Yaojin and others were stunned.
What Li Wangyou said was something that no one had thought about before.
But when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
"Wahhahaha, Ziyou's words are right! If there is such a thunderbolt to help, Goguryeo is nothing more than a chicken and a dog! Your Majesty, if you want to attack Goguryeo, I, Lao Cheng, will do my part! I will give you the head of the bullshit King Goguryeo! Cut it back and use it as a chamber pot!"
Li Er was dumbfounded by Cheng Yaojin, an old rascal: "Go away, why do I want that pickled meat?"
He turned his head to look at Li Wangyou again: "Ziyou, are you serious? Do you really have a way to protect the soldiers from the cold in winter?"
There was a big reason for the disastrous failure of the three expeditions to Goguryeo in the former Sui Dynasty, which was the severe cold weather in Liaodong.
From his first expedition to Liaodong, Yang Guang’s expeditionary army claimed to be 200 million, but the actual 130 million expeditions to Liaodong, but because of the bad weather in Liaodong, the unsustainable supply of food and grass, coupled with Yang Guang’s random command, the Sui army was defeated in the end. , Losing 30 troops, throwing away their armor and returning.
If Li Wangyou can really solve the problem of protecting the army from the cold, coupled with sufficient food and grass supply and gunpowder, it would be strange if he couldn't destroy Goguryeo.
Compared with the Tang army in history, today's Tang army is more powerful than before because of the appearance of Li Wangyou.
For example, that small horseshoe increased the number of Tang Jun's war horses by at least [-]%... The ordnance workshop in Cuiwei Palace Valley kept making all kinds of armor and weapons made of refined steel... The password letter was passed on carefully by Tang Jun Information is more convenient... The appearance of penicillin and ambulances can reduce the casualties of the Tang army... Geely suits and binoculars allow Tang army scouts to safely detect the enemy's movements... The steel crossbow made of fine steel can hunt and kill millions of troops enemy general...
