Chapter 537 Prologue and End!
There is gunpowder in this era, but it is limited to the use of New Year firecrackers and fireworks. It is even more powerful and can be hurt, and it is even more impossible to use it on the battlefield.
The problem is the ratio of those three things.
As a later generation, Li Xin naturally knew the horror of a huge killer weapon like gunpowder. This is one of the few golden fingers he came to this world, so he naturally would not abandon it.
Last year, in the first year of Taikang, he returned to his hometown to repair his mother's grave and stayed in Qiyang County for more than half a year. During that half a year, Li Xin tried countless times in that Qiyuan. After countless times, Li Xin developed his greatest foundation in the world in that garden.
(If you can't remember this paragraph, you can go back and take a look.)
It is precisely because of this foundation that Li Xin had the courage to lead his troops to the southwest as a military "amateur" to face the huge Pingnan Army.
It is precisely because of this great killing weapon that Li Xin has the confidence to say that he will have the capital to turn against Emperor Taikang in the future.
Originally, Li Xin should never use this thing at this time. If someone like Li Shen or Ye Ming was in Li Xin's position, not to mention that one or two thousand people died, even if one or two thousand people died, all of their subordinates would die, they would not show their trump card at this time.
But Li Xinyong did it.
After all, he is different from these "cold-blooded" generals. He is a modern man who grows under the red flag. He has no way to watch these subordinates who have been with him for almost a year and die meaninglessly.
Therefore, he chose to use this killer weapon.
During the whole day, Li Xin personally prepared dozens of kilograms of gunpowder, and then on that night, someone raised his shield and carried the gunpowder to the gate of Mianzhu City.
The biggest casualties in the siege are deaths under the wall or when climbing the city wall. However, it is not that difficult for these shield soldiers to advance to the gate of Mianzhu City.
More importantly, none of these people with gunpowder were from the Imperial Guard, but followed Li Xin to the Yulinwei confidants in the southwest.
It has been one or two years since the Yulin Guard was reorganized. This new Yulin Guard was brought by Li Xin. The one who followed him and Mu Ying to the southwest was even the old men among the Yulin Guard. Half of them were taken to Hanzhou City by Mu Ying, and the other half of them were his confidants among his confidants.
These people were labeled as Li Xin, and their wealth and lives were also tied to Li Xin. They had no reason to betray Li Xin, and they could not betray Li Xin.
So Li Xin could definitely trust these people to take a killing weapon to the city of Mianzhu.
In this way, when the night fell, a gorgeous flower bloomed under Mianzhu City.
This is the Demon Flower.
Because this may be the beginning of a new era, this era may not start immediately, but with the Battle of Mianzhu City, it was unveiled to livestock.
This day was the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Taikang.
This is a day worth remembering. From this day on, the era of cold weapons that lasted for unknown periods, was seriously threatened.
Dozens of kilograms of gunpowder may not be as powerful as an ordinary shell in later generations, but Mianzhu City is not a big city. Use these gunpowder to blow up the wooden gate of Mianzhu...
More than enough.
After the Yulinwei ignited the lead according to Li Xin's instructions, he immediately held up his shield and dispersed.
After a loud bang, the main body of the wooden Mianzhu City Gate was still there, but the first part was blown up by a gap of two or three meters. The Pingnan Army defenders, who were originally blocking the city gate with stones behind the city gate to prevent the city hammer from hitting the city, were directly exploded by this loud bang, and some people directly exploded three or four meters away.
With this explosion alone, more than a dozen Pingnan Army defenders died behind the city gate.
The others were also shocked by the loud noise.
This city gate is five inches thick! It's broken
No matter what, they couldn't understand why the city gate, which was still strong during the day, suddenly broke open?
More importantly, this deafening loud noise made these people silly.
At this moment, the little master Ye, covered in armor, led the way, and rushed in with five thousand people from the broken city gate like a god of war from the sky.
Ye Mao was tall, and he was trained by the old Duke Ye Sheng since he was a child. When Ye Sheng was young, his martial arts were still flawed, but when he retired at the age of 40, his kung fu had all become a great killing technique on the battlefield. When Ye Sheng started training Ye Mao, he was already sixty years old.
What Ye Mao was taught was the essence of Ye Sheng's lifelong battle.
Although he still couldn't beat his grandfather, he looked at least six or seventy percent like Ye Sheng.
At this time, the young master took the lead, wearing more than 30 kilograms of armor, but he seemed to be nothing. Every time a big gun was swung, at least one or two people would die under the gun.
In this era, generals also rushed to the battlefield with their personal bravery.
But they didn't rush in and attack many. Each general would have enough guards to help him watch the enemies on the flanks. The general who rushed forward would just focus on dealing with the enemies ahead.
Moreover, the generals like Ye Sheng have very well-armed armor. Sometimes they can't hurt him when they are melee slashing. The distance is basically not threatening him.
Under this premise, there will be countless powerful generals and brothers in history books who charge into battle and return after a hundred battles.
Otherwise, if such middle and high-level generals rushed to the formation, they would basically die.
Ye Mao was like the tip of a sword. The tip of his sword was extremely sharp and he moved forward and directly penetrated into Mianzhu City.
The people from the Fangshan Zhechong Mansion, seeing their commander so bravely, all bravely moved forward. Five thousand people, led by Ye Mao, rushed into Mianzhu City.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
Just after Ye Mao and others rushed into Mianzhu City, the second echelon outside Mianzhu City had already formed a formation and was preparing to wait for all the people from Fangshan Zhechong Mansion to enter the city, and the second group entered the city.
At this time, Li Xin and Zhao Jia were holding a thousand-mile mirror and watching from afar.
Zhao Jia stood behind Li Xin and slowly put down the Qianli Miles mirror in his hand.
This young man from Duke Chen's mansion was trembling with his hands.
He even trembled with his voice.
"Hao...Hao, what is this?"
In comparison, Li Xin had to calm down a lot, and he also put away Qianlijing and took a deep breath.
"This is thunder."
"The thief rebelled against the way of heaven, and God has brought disaster to them."
Zhao Jia was silent for a long time.
Then he asked Li Xin a trembling question.
"Marty, can there be a second time in this... Heavenly Thunder?"
Li Xin had no expression on his face.
"Who can figure out what God means?"
Zhao Jia didn't continue speaking.
But his hands hiding in his sleeves were still shaking.
This young man with a clear mind knows very well that from tonight, the era when everyone is guarding the city may be...going.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jia looked up at Li Xin.
