Chapter 53 Questions
?The arrival of Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong made the atmosphere on the scene solemn. Everyone could no longer chat as freely as before. Yuchi Shun was talking in a low voice in his ear, while Yuwen Wen looked into the venue.
There was a carriage parked there, and the horse pulling the carriage was gone, only the carriage parked there, and there were a circle of wooden stakes of varying distances and distances around the carriage, with many sheep, a few cows and more than ten horses tied to it.
A few steps away from the other side of the carriage, there was a wall of two people high, about thirty steps long, with some flags on it, and there were wooden stakes beside the carriage, with a collar armor hanging on it, and some shields were erected.
But the most eye-catching thing is the carriage. There are many large wooden barrels in the tarpless carriage. Although Yuwen Wen didn't open it, he could guess that there was fire and medicine inside. These wooden barrels are the so-called "thunderbolt".
In short, it is a shrinking version of the Thunder, but it is also as simple and crude as the original version.
The Zhou army in Shannan used the sky-bombing thunder. In addition to fire medicine, there was also a layer of gravel in the wooden barrel, so the killing power was greater. The sky-bombing thunder that Yuwen Wen's "offered" did not have this design.
The ratio of fire medicine is also different. In addition to charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter, there are also several inexplicable things, such as cinnabar, arsenic, etc., so the explosion of fire medicine produced according to this formula should be smaller.
The reason for doing this is mainly to mislead, not only to mislead the court that obtained the formula, but also to mislead the fine works of enemy countries that may spy out the formula, and to ensure that the fire medicine formula in Shannan is the greatest.
Out of caution, Yuwen Wen and his father-in-law Chi Shun said that when preparing gunpowder, many unnecessary things must be prepared to avoid the intentional people from guessing the recipe for fire medicine from the procurement list of military weapon supervisors.
Although Yuwen Wen was a little reluctant to do so, he finally gained his own people. After all, the Sui Kingdom is a big problem. As long as he can defeat the other party, it is worth it to pay. As for the future, I will talk about it later.
The tiger is right in front of me, and before it is solved, I think about how to divide the meat later. If I get rid of internal strife, I will never die if I don’t do it!
Yuwen Wen didn't think so much, but others thought a lot, such as Yuchi Dun, Yuchi Qin and others, who had questions about the legendary weapon of the Sky Thunder. Basically, except for the father-in-law and son-in-law Yuchi Shun and Yuwen Wen, the rest of the people were full of questions.
Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong looked at the thing handed over by his son Yuchi Shun, which was an earmuff used to protect his ears in winter. He looked suspiciously at the carriage in the field, and then shook his head: "Is it because he is afraid of deafness in his father's ears? He is not old enough to that extent for his father!"
"My father is old, don't compete with his sons." Yuchi Shun said, regardless of Yuchi Jiong's dissatisfaction, and helped him put on his earmuffs.
"Ashun, is this thing very powerful?" Yuchi Qin approached and asked. He was Yuchi Shun's cousin and he had been very familiar with him since he was a child, so even though he was a middle-aged man, he still had a very close call to each other.
"It's very loud. As for the power, you'll know in a while." Yuchi Shun smiled. This thing is not the first time it's "acceptance". He personally presided over the last "acceptance". The scene was amazing.
Seeing the Prime Minister put on his earmuffs, Xi Piluo and Yuchi Dun talked to him. He also heard that Shannan had a powerful "Thunder" and this time, he was with the Qingzhou General Manager Yuchi Qin and Heyang General Manager Yuchi Jing, who was recalled by the Prime Minister from his garrison to Yecheng, saying that he wanted to open his eyes.
"Mr. Wei An, this thing is really powerful?" Xipiluo asked. He glanced at Yuchi Shun, then looked at Yuwen Wen. Seeing the many earmuffs on the table next to him, he coughed and added, "Is it because of the two husbands and son-in-law Angu who pretended to be a ghost?"
"Who knows? Duke Xiyang is only willing to tell his secret to his brother, but I have never seen it." Yuchi Dun said lightly, his face full of suspicion.
"I've heard similar rumors in Heyang that Yuwen Xingtai was at the mouth of Lianghekou of Jingzhou, Shannan. He used this thing to defeat the thief. However, I have never seen it with my own eyes. I really can't believe that there are such weapons in the world." Yuchi Jing said.
Seeing that several people were whispering and looking suspicious, Yuwen Wen did not intend to defend himself. Although the recipe he gave his father-in-law was moisture, the power was still acceptable. After all, the prime minister was not a fool. If he was too fooled, the consequences would be bad.
Among everyone present, Yuchi Youqi, the only person who was similar to Yuwen Wen, looked into the carriage for a long time, but could not see any name. So he simply asked Yuwen Wen to ask for answers, but Yuwen Wen just said it for a while and then knew.
"My father has all worn earmuffs. I think the movement is very good. I tied these many horses nearby. Could it be that I want to show the power of shocking horses?" Yuchi Youqi asked, with many horses tied to the edge of the field. He felt that the biggest effect of the rumored thunder was probably the loud noise.
Seeing that Yuwen Wen was still smiling but not speaking, he stopped asking questions. Today, Yuchi Youqi didn't want to come. After all, as a little Sima, it was difficult for him to leave Yecheng easily. His duty was to guard the palace. Now that the people of the Yuchi family have come, no one in the city is in charge, if something happens, it would be bad.
However, seeing this situation, Yuchi Youqi thought about the power of the sky thunder, and thought it would be nowhere near, otherwise his father would not have left the city easily, and even called everyone to watch the demonstration together.
The busy officials in the venue scattered one after another, and several people came to Yuchishun to report that everything was ready. Yuchishun ordered all the people in the venue to evacuate, and then turned to Yuchi Jiong and said, "Father, please come with the child."
He led the way ahead and led Yuchi Jiong and other observers to a wall behind a earthen wall. The wall was about seventy steps away from the carriage and looked very strong. He could not see the movement on the carriage when he stood behind the earthen wall.
"How do you know the power if you can't see there?" Yuchi Jiong asked. Yuchi Shun replied that the sky-bang thunder is powerful, and if there is no barrier, it is easy to be damaged by debris. Its power can be seen afterwards, and the cattle, horses and sheep can be felt behind the wall.
"Viking?" Yuchi Qin was quite puzzled. He felt that he could feel the vibration that was so far away from the carriage. It was nothing more than the vibration that a large group of horses ran by, but how big could it be.
"It's a vibration, and there's a loud noise." Yuchi Shun nodded and said, "After a while, there will be a loud noise, thick smoke, and vibration, and everyone's ears may buzz."
Seeing Yuchi Shun's solemn statement, Yuchi Dun and others were interested. The table on the earthen wall had earmuffs but no one went to get them. Except for the older prime minister, they were all young and strong, so it was too embarrassing to wear earmuffs. Since he said the Thunder in the sky was so powerful, he really wanted to experience the real power.
It's just that hiding behind the earthen wall is really short of breath. They don't know how much blood they get when they go to the battle to kill the enemy. They are forced to hide behind the earthen wall by just thunder. Yuchi Dun is afraid that it will make people laugh.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Yuchi Shun ordered the fire. After a gong rang, the venue gradually became quiet. Except for some sheep, horses and cows, there was no other movement.
"Start the fire!"
Someone shouted in the stadium, and then the footsteps sounded, as if they were running out, waiting for the footsteps to disappear, and everyone behind the wall held their breath, waiting for the arrival of "huge power".
The breeze blew, as if it had taken away all the movements in the field. Yuwen Wen looked at the people in front of him who were listening in a slight manner, and opened his mouth slightly. This was self-protection for the high notes. The action of covering his ears was too timid, and he felt a little embarrassed to cover him.
He opened his mouth slightly, and I don’t know how long it took, there was still no movement in the field. Even the cattle, sheep and horses did not neigh. Yuwen Wen was surprised, but he still suppressed his curiosity and did not protrude his head and stretched out the earth wall to see.
‘The luck has changed a lot recently, so it’s better not to be too troublesome. If you stick out your head and happen to be shot by fragments, you’ll be a magical act!’ Yuwen Wen thought so, but just waited so much and always felt something was wrong. There was no movement in the field. Maybe something went wrong.
In addition to the reduction in the formulation of the fire medicine, Yuwen Wen has already taught all other technical details to his father-in-law, including the key points of the fuse.
