Great Tang Broom Star

The whole army came to watch the fun.

"No one has done this for many years."

There are so many trees around Pyongyang, and Jia Pingan ordered his men to cut down many of them.

"Mother, what a good wood, how good it is for making furniture and repairing houses."

Jia Pingan sighed.

Pei Xingjian looked carefully and found that Jia Ping'an was serious.

"Trees are nothing more than trees, if you cut them, you will cut them down."

Jia Pingan shook his head, "Do you know how many trees will be cut down in the Tang Dynasty in one year? Countless. Have you ever replanted them after cutting them down?"

Pei Xingjian shook his head.

"A lot of places around Chang'an have been cut down. It looks good when it's bare? In a few years, all the places in Guanzhong will be cut down..."

The entry point is all bare.

Just thinking about it makes me feel horrified.

Pei Xingyan didn't know Jia Ping'an's desire for green... In the early years of later generations, many hills in his hometown were cut down, and the bare hills looked like a bald head. Later, I continued to promote the truth that gold and silver mountains are not as good as green water and green mountains, and gradually this concept became deeply ingrained.

This kind of obsession is beyond the comprehension of Datang people.

However, the DPRK and the Central Committee have written to the world, requiring officials from all over the country to persuade the people to burn more peat and reduce the demand for wood.

I also have meritorious deeds.

Jia Pingan felt that he had a halo on the back of his head, but Pei Xingyan felt that he was weird.

After Jia Pingan went to inspect the construction of the trebuchet, Li Fucheng came over quietly.

"Pei Changshi."

Pei Xingjian turned around, "What's the matter with the deputy chief?"

Li Fucheng pointed his chin at those craftsmen squatting to make things, "Mr. Wuyang is just building trebuchets, what is that?"

The craftsmen are making bamboo tubes.

"When Duke Wuyang set out from Chang'an,

I just brought a lot of bamboo tubes, is this going to be used today? "Pei Xingjian is also very curious.

The craftsmen burned the iron brazing red, and pierced through the compartments of the bamboo tube one by one to form a long tube.

Such large tubes are piled up like a mountain on the side.

"Is this to make rice in bamboo tubes?"

On the way, Jia Ping once made rice in a bamboo tube with bacon in it, and the generals who ate it were full of praise.

In another, gunpowder is packed.

The bamboo tube is on the side, and the gunpowder is wrapped into a cylinder. After testing whether it can be put into the bamboo tube, a straightened branch is tied to the end of the gunpowder package.

This is Master Jia's version of Sky-Changing Monkey.

"Remember to wrap the lime in."

"Know."

Gunpowder pack, powder cartridge...

Gradually piled up like a mountain.

"Let the arrow!"

The army is attacking the city...that is, covering the city with crossbow arrows.

But the Koreans have learned the tricks. If you only use crossbow arrows, I will reduce the deployment of the city head, and the rest of the people will squat behind the city head.

This is just a warm up.

The Chinese military is building a ladder.

Gao Kan frowned, "What is Duke Wuyang doing?"

"They said they were doing things to attack the city."

Gao Kan smiled, "It's almost enough to make a trebuchet. British Lord, I'm afraid no one has used this trebuchet for hundreds of years, right?"

Li Ji said indifferently: "Those people don't know how to build a trebuchet, and the trebuchet they made is inaccurate, and it becomes a joke."

This matter has been discussed in the military.

On the second day, Jia Ping'an came.

"My lord, our ministry is ready."

Li Ji said noncommittally: "Try it."

There was a lot of movement outside.

Numerous sergeants were carrying trebuchets, and carts were transporting bamboo tubes and gunpowder.

"Mr. Wuyang." Deng Guan ran back, "The trebuchet is in place."

Wang Chong came back, "Mr. Wuyang, the bamboo tube is in place."

Jia Pingan nodded, "Ready to do it."

Deng Guan and Wang Chong went back.

"Get ready!"

The gunpowder bag was put into the pocket, and the Sky-Changing Monkey held it in his hand, and he just waited for the ignition to be loaded into it.

"Infantry ready."

Jia Pingan ordered.

The infantry appeared carrying the ladder.

Someone shouted at the top of the city, "The Tang army is about to attack the city!"

"Go up!"

Shan Yude commanded his subordinates to rush to the top of the city.

Tang Jun's pawns were already out of the range of the arrows, and they only waited for an order before rushing up and attacking with ladders.

Shan Yude saw the trebuchet...

Dense trebuchets lined up outside the city, at least three rows.

this……

"Is Tang Jun trying to smash the city of Pyongyang with stones?"

"Go and tell Da Molizhi that the Tang army attacked the city with trebuchets."

Before the words finished, Jia Pingan waved his hand casually.

"ignition!"

The Drilling Monkey needs to be ignited twice, one is the gunpowder cartridge and the other is the driving powder, which is then loaded into the bamboo tube after being ignited.

"Mr. Wuyang is doing this..." Li Ji led all the generals to watch the excitement, and it was quite interesting to see such scenes.

"Let's have a look." Li Ji said with a smile: "Young people always like to make new tricks."

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The swing arm of the trebuchet moved violently, and the gunpowder package flew out.

"The power is not small."

Gao Kan said lightly.

But gunpowder kits cannot make the Koreans yield.

Shhhhhhh...

Those bamboo tubes were filled with gunpowder smoke, and then the Diamond Monkey flew out.

"What's this?"

Everyone's eyes widened.

Someone said: "I'm afraid it's something... fireworks."

Li Ji smiled and said, "Young man!"

Boom boom boom boom boom...

The city was instantly shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

Those Koreans were burnt black from the bombing, and there were screams and exclamations from the top of the city...

"This is... this is hell!"

Shan Yude stared blankly at this scene.

Diamond Monkey came up.

Bang bang bang bang!

The explosion of the Diamond Monkey is not as powerful as a gunpowder bag.

Shan Yude shouted: "Come up, come up."

He knew that the Tang army would definitely take the opportunity to attack the city, and he had to replenish the troops at the top of the city in time.

As soon as the Zhantian monkey exploded, white mist filled the city.

"my eyes!"

"Cough cough cough!"

Sanyutak closed his eyes just in time, but he inhaled the lime.

Cough cough cough!

He knelt on the top of the wall and coughed violently.

Someone dragged him down, Shan Yude pointed at the top of the wall and waved his hand violently.

"Go up, all up!"

Even if the top of the city is reduced to a flaming mountain, it must be filled with human lives.

"Kill!"

Tang Jun's infantry were shouting with their ladders on their shoulders, but they didn't move.

Li Ji, Gao Kan and others were stunned.

"this……"

Qibi Heli had already rushed over.

"Look, look!"

Gao Kan couldn't bear it anymore, and ran all the way.

Li Ji coughed dryly. He is the coach, this...

But it's already being reloaded over there...

Li Ji said with a straight face, "It's outrageous!"

Everyone didn't know whether he was talking about Jia Ping'an or Gao Kan and others who ran over, just wanted to persuade...

Whoosh, the person disappeared.

Li Ji ran to the side of the trebuchet, and saw the sergeant lit the gunpowder fuse in his pocket, then squatted down and shouted: "Let it go!"

Someone took a sledgehammer and smashed it away.

Boom!

The swinging arm of the trebuchet bounced up sharply, and the gunpowder package was sent out.

Li Ji watched as a pile of gunpowder bags flew up to the top of the city, some of them hit the city wall, and then fell below the city... and some fell into the city.

Boom boom boom boom!

The dense explosion made people's heart beat faster, and even Li Ji felt the huge shock.

The city was filled with smoke.

Terrible firearms!

Li Ji went to the Monkey King.

The sergeant held the Monkey King with a long tail, lit the two fuses, and then loaded it.

Shhhhhhh...

The Diamond Monkey flew out and landed on the top of the city.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

White mist enveloped the city.

this……

Li Ji and others found Jia Pingan who was sitting on a wooden chair... This chair was made by a craftsman.

Da Ma Jin Dao sat with a cup of tea in his hand, taking a sip from time to time.

Gao Kan scolded: "Is this here to fight? This girl is clearly here to visit the mountains and rivers!"

Qibi Heli also gritted his teeth and said, "Damn! Why is this kid so laid back?"

"This is self-confidence." Li Ji was a little dizzy.

"Xiao Jia!"

Seeing them coming, Jia Pingan got up and said, "There is only one chair, and the British public sits."

Li Ji shook his head, and asked with a straight face: "The trebuchet hits the gunpowder bag, how can you predict that it will blow up at the top of the city?"

This is what everyone can't understand.

"Little fish, go get some lead wires."

Xu Xiaoyu was as nimble as a monkey, wandering around behind for a while, and got a few leads in a blink of an eye.

Jia Pingan took one, and everyone also took one.

"This is the fuse. It burns evenly after being ignited. We have tested how long it takes to burn a section for several years. Ten breaths are ten breaths. Those craftsmen guarantee that one more breath or one less breath can be disposed of. The craftsmen of Datang have this ability."

Everyone looked at the thin wires and couldn't help being crazy.

This is the heavy weapon of a great country!

"Then how do you guarantee that the catapult can accurately project the gunpowder package on the top of the city?" Gao Kan knew the difficulty.

"When the old man went to war... At that time, the world was in chaos. Someone got a trebuchet and came out to attack the city. As a result, the thrown stones fell crookedly halfway." Li Ji is a living fossil, and he can be said to be very familiar when talking about these things.

"That's because they don't understand."

Jia Pingan said indifferently: "The base must be stable, otherwise the base will move as soon as the arm swings, how can it be accurate? The shaft frame must be straight and slippery, otherwise the swing arm will be crooked, how can it be accurate..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This girl is like listening to a bible.

A craftsman happened to pass by with something in his arms, and he heard the words and said: "Old men, we are craftsmen, but when Mr. Wu Yang bought it, we suddenly realized what he said."

He gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Wuyang's knowledge...no one is not convinced!"

"Damn it! Lord Wuyang even knows the knowledge of craftsmen?" Qibi Heli scratched his head, and a few strands of his already thin hair were scratched down. Annoyed, he clenched his hair tightly in pain, wondering if he wanted to stick it back.

"This is new learning."

Jia Pingan smiled and said, "For Xinxue, the trebuchet is just a simple thing."

"Is this simple?"

Gao Kan felt that Jia Ping'an was a little boastful.

"Of course it's simple." Jia Pingan smiled, "There are mechanics in the new school, and some knowledge of mechanical principles. Catapults are not complicated."

The sophisticated equipment of later generations can be repaired, and this trebuchet is nothing!

Li Ji couldn't help but praise Jia Ping'an's confident attitude: "He is a good learner and dedicated."

Li Jingye happily stepped forward, "Ah, you call me."

Li Ji asked: "Did you learn something new from Wuyang Public School recently?"

Last time Li Ji asked him, but he didn't know what to ask, so he was beaten...

Li Jingye's face collapsed in an instant, "Ah Weng, I...I..."

Li Ji's face darkened, "I'll deal with you after beating Korea."

Qibi Heli asked: "What is that bamboo tube?"

"Drilling Monkey."

"It's filled with gunpowder and quicklime, and uses gunpowder as power to fly up. After it explodes, quicklime fills the air..."

Jia Ping'an smiled very calmly.

"quicklime……"

Li Ji's face changed, "Blind if you put it in your eyes, and your mouth and nose will be burnt if you put it in your mouth..."

"Very poisonous, but the old man likes it."

Gao Kan asked: "Drilling the sky monkey is also a new knowledge?"

Jia Pingan nodded, "It's just a trivial matter."

Gao Kan grabbed him, "Will you accept the grandson in Yeye's family?"

Jia Pingan shook his head firmly, "I don't accept disciples."

Gao Kan said coldly: "If you don't accept Yeye, I will kill you!"

You do it!

Jia Pingan said fearlessly: "Just come."

Li Ji said: "Don't embarrass him. If you want to learn something new, you have to go to math. The only disciple of Lord Wuyang is teaching there."

There is also a second disciple!

The head secretary of the Imperial College knelt down to ask for a teacher.

"That's all."

Gao Kan immediately and kindly smoothed Jia Pingan's clothes that were messed up by him, "Think carefully, I hope to see the day when you become a generation of school masters."

At this time, the gunpowder bag flew out again.

Boom boom boom boom!

The top of the city looked like a thunderbolt.

"Electric light and flint! It's like a thunderbolt!" Pei Xingyan praised.

Shhhhhhh...

The Diamond Monkey flew up, and the white mist filled the air.

"New Year's Eve!" Jia Pingan couldn't help but miss his previous life.

When firecrackers could be set off in the early years, starting at twenty-four o'clock on New Year's Eve, the whole city instantly became a battlefield... The smoke filled the air, the sound of explosions was deafening, and all kinds of colorful fireworks...

suck!

Jia Pingan touched the corner of his mouth.

This journey actually reminded me of the New Year's Eve dinner at Thirty Nights...

The soldiers were also dumbfounded.

"Can you still attack the city like this?"

The top of the city has become a hell, if we attack at this time...

Deng Guan is here.

"Your Majesty, please order me to attack the city."

"At this moment, the Koreans must have deployed an army behind the city."

Jia Pingan shook his head slightly.

Li Ji asked, "What do you think?"

This campaign Jia Pingan gave him a huge surprise. He watched a general star rising slowly with his own eyes, and that kind of happiness was indescribable. If you want to say that there are successors, it’s okay, but it’s more about reassurance.

Li Ji has always been dissatisfied with the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no one who can succeed those old generals. The first emperor also had such worries, so that after Xue Rengui stood out in the battle against Liaodong, the first emperor was full of praise...

——I don't care about the victory of this battle, what I care more about is the discovery of Xue Rengui, the embryo of a famous general.

This shows the late emperor's desire for the next batch of generals.

The same is true for Li Zhi, who liberated Su Dingfang, who had been suppressed by the late emperor for more than 20 years. Su Dingfang lived up to expectations, and went to battle several times with brilliant results.

But Su Dingfang is a veteran of Cheng Zhijie's generation, how many more years can he last? In history, Su Dingfang dragged his old body to lead the defense in the direction of Tubo.

Now there is one more Jia Pingan.

Jia Pingan's flash was a bit accidental. The first time was in Tuyuhun, Jia Pingan offered advice to the Tuyuhun rebels and dealt a heavy blow, and the envoy Yu Ludongzan's envoy to the Tang Dynasty after that made the old men even more Quite appreciative.

Jia Pingan said: "I thought that this kind of offensive and defensive battle depends on the timing. Although the Koreans have been bombed by our army's gunpowder and suffered heavy casualties, they still have fighting spirit. Siege... the heart is the most important thing."

Li Ji was so satisfied that he couldn't be more satisfied, but said with a cold face: "The old man just watches, but if something goes wrong, the old man will never be soft on punishment."

"yes!"

Jia Pingan took the order.

This is the approval of the British public!

The eyes of those generals were red.

In the city, Shan Yude panted, "Array, when the Tang army reaches the top of the city, cover it with arrows..."

Archers lined up in front, densely packed...

Then there's the long gunner.

This is the stance for street fighting.

"Prepare……"

The generals judged the time and felt that Tang Jun should start climbing.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, staring at the top of the city. The gunpowder smoke slowly dissipated, and the Koreans fell into mountains on the top of the city... The sound of screams continued.

"no one."

Tang Jun's gunpowder kit and lime offensive also stopped...

"Where are people?"

Quan Gai Suwen rode his horse and watched from a distance.

"There is no one at the top of the city, why didn't the Tang army take advantage of the trend to attack the city?" A civil servant asked wonderingly.

Someone whispered: "I'm afraid...are you preparing?"

Behind Quan Gai Suwen was the cavalry, he said in a deep voice, "Let people go to the top of the wall."

The sergeants climbed up cautiously and looked down.

"Tang Jun didn't move."

fuck.

After getting the news that the Tang army covered the city with that kind of explosive stuff, Quan Gai Suwen personally led the cavalry to sit on the town, ready to fight the Tang army to the death.

But they didn't move.

That's how people are. After fighting hard, their fighting power explodes, but when they realize that the danger has not come, their whole body withers.

The soldiers who were preparing to live and die with Pyongyang just now relaxed, and their morale gradually dissipated. But the spirit is not bad, if the Tang army takes advantage of the trend to attack the city at this moment, it will pay a huge price.

"Repair the city head."

Quan Gai Su Wen went back.

But a big question lingered in his mind.

Why didn't Tang Jun take the opportunity to attack the city?

After entering the palace, Gao Zang was waiting for him.

"How about Tang Jun?"

Quan Gai Su Wen shook his head, "Tang Jun stopped, I don't know why."

Gao Zang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if you can't get in!"

Outside the palace, two men glanced inside as they passed by.

"Heavily guarded."

"It's full of armored soldiers."

The leading man was short and dark-faced, called Cheng Yunxiao, and the one behind him who looked as fair as a little wife was called Qiao Laowu.

The two are secret spies of the Ministry of War.

Before passing the palace, Cheng Yunxiao said: "There was lightning and thunder in front of us just now. This is our gunpowder showing its power. We can't pass on the news in the city, but we have to do something."

Qiao Laowu sniffed, seeing an official approaching, he hurriedly avoided it.

After the officials passed by, Qiao Laowu lowered his head and said disdainfully: "Let's wait until the army enters the city, and see if you still dare to be so arrogant and domineering."

He followed, "Old Cheng, there are only two of us, what can we do? Is it possible to assassinate Quan Gai Suwen?"

Cheng Yunxiao scolded: "Quan Gai Su Wen was surrounded by cavalry when he was traveling, how could he assassinate him? That would be suicide."

"How else?"

Qiao Lao Wu was very at a loss, "We are afraid that we will be killed if we start."

There are already many sergeants in the city at this moment, and teams are patrolling everywhere.

Cheng Yunxiao stroked his short beard and said in a low voice, "We are few...but there are still people in the city!"

"Who?" Qiao Lao Wu asked.

Cheng Yunxiao lowered his head, "The former Sui soldiers defeated Goryeo and captured many people, and those Han sons were divided into various places... There are quite a few in Pyongyang."

Qiao Lao Wu frowned, "Old Cheng, those people are probably dead. Their descendants have already regarded themselves as Koreans."

"It's hard to say." Cheng Yunxiao said: "Whenever the envoys from the Tang Dynasty came, those ex-Sui soldiers would wait eagerly by the roadside. As soon as the envoys arrived, they would kneel down and howl, just wanting to go home..."
