Back an hour ago, the Tang army's surprise attack troops were slowly advancing towards the Goguryeo capital Pyongyang under the leadership of Suning. On the dark and windy nights, the surrounding areas have been cleaned up, and the roads that should be driven have been completed in the daytime. Suning wants to thank the slow spread of information in this era. If it were modern, a mobile phone could change the situation on the battlefield. But now, the surprise attack troops arrived in the Pyongyang area before all the information arrived in Pyongyang.

From afar, the outline of the big city can be seen. Suning lets the army lurk in a large woods south of Pyongyang City, personally leading troops to reconnaise the city. The defense is normal, the lights are normal, everything is normal, and there is no special place inside. Looking at this city, Suning couldn't help but think of the first battle in his life, the sneak attack in Dingxiang City. In fact, when he later told Li Jing the entire process, Li Jing was stunned.

Because in ancient times, the city gate was closed at night. Without the permission or order of the city lord, the city gate would not open until dawn. The reason why Suning could use such a method to trick the city gate open was mainly because the city guards were a Turkic person at that time, and the main army was also Turkic troops. Even the city lord was a Turkic person, so the city guards did not report to the city lord at all. They waved their hand and asked them to go out to take a look, and the result was a cheaper Suning.

But this city can definitely not be able to deceive the city gate by such a way. Suning knows very well that this city is a capital city or a capital of Goguryeo with a very civilized level. If you want to learn from the way you deceive the Turks, you will definitely not have a good ending. So, if you want to open the city gate and let the army raid it, Suning has only one way to blow the city gate open with gunpowder!

That's right, gunpowder. Only by relying on the power of gunpowder can the city gate be blown up when the moon is dark and windy! After Suning visited Changsun Chong, he actually went to the palace. He said apart from Li Chengqian, and then went to see Li Tai. This guy was addicted to studying gunpowder and could trigger explosions almost every day. Therefore, His Majesty Li Er specially built a small palace for him in a relatively remote place, and let him do it himself.

It's true. He really made some troubles. For example, a small bamboo tube of gunpowder could only kill a dog or a person, and the distance was quite close. It did not have practical combat effectiveness, but he didn't know how to do it, but he actually increased the power of gunpowder several times. As soon as Suning walked into his small palace, he heard a deafening explosion, and almost fell to the palace gate, and the four guards accompanying him had all collapsed to the ground.

Suning quickly ran into his palace and saw that it was a good guy, there were gravel and loess everywhere. After asking, he understood why! He didn't know when he built a wall of earth in his compound. After hearing Suning's words, he believed that only when gunpowder has the effect of siege can it be considered a real gunpowder weapon and it can be considered valuable.

He sent someone to simulate the structure of the city wall, and built a mini city wall in his yard, and studied more powerful gunpowder every day to try to blow the wall.

According to Suning, winning by quantity is not a success. No matter how weak a weapon is, as long as there are enough weapons, we can still kill a giant elephant. However, we can not always have enough weapons. When we don’t have enough weapons, an eight-ox crossbow is worth the power of a thousand spears.

Only good is the right way.

He was not satisfied with blowing the earth wall with an absolute amount of gunpowder. In fact, since that incident, His Majesty Li Er has forbidden him to continue to test gunpowder in the palace to avoid panic. Generally speaking, the gunpowder production task will be handed over to Suning in the suburbs to study, but Li Tai was still unwilling to give up. He secretly tried it in the palace many times, and finally forced His Majesty Li Er to compromise, put him in the most marginal imperial city area, let him take it himself, and planted many big trees around his experimental area.

However, even so, the explosions that occur every day still make His Majesty Li Er very frightened. After a long time, it is not surprising. Sometimes he cannot hear the explosions, and he will still find it strange. He will send someone to ask. After Li Tai obtained the experiment permission, he often sent the newly developed gunpowder to a gunpowder workshop in the suburbs for production. Then he experimented on a large scale. After being unsatisfied with the results, he conducted experiments again to enhance the effectiveness.

Later, he was too lazy to go to the suburbs to do it, so he built a wall in the yard. So the scene of that day came. Suning was indeed shocked, but when Li Tai saw Suning, he was indeed quite excited and excited. He said that he finally succeeded, put the gunpowder on the edge of the earthen wall and detonated it. Then the earthen wall was blown into this way!

When Suning saw it, he really admired that the thickness of the earth wall is almost the same as the city wall. Of course, the material is not as good as the Chang'an city wall. However, there are also some stones and other things in the loess, and the hardness and quality are not much worse than the city wall. Li Tai himself said that the gunpowder used was about a barrel, and he forced the earth wall to open a hole in the middle of the earth wall, which was about half the thickness of the entire earth wall. Although it could not destroy the earth wall, Suning believed that as long as it was done again, the earth wall would definitely not be able to escape.

Suning immediately conceived the idea of ​​raiding a certain city in his mind, piled up these gunpowder at the city gate and then detonated! Hiss~~~This is so sour and sour, I can't believe it!

So, with the prelude to today's battle, Suning took Xue Rengui to check the city wall, Xue Rengui frowned and said, "This battle is not easy to fight. Su Hou, you see that the city wall is very strict. If you don't say that when the city gate is opened in the daytime, it will be difficult for us to enter this city. Su Hou, we must be careful! This place is the capital of Goguryeo after all."

Suning smiled coldly: "It is because it is the capital that it is unexpected. By the day, the soldiers and horses are already prepared. We must give them a ruthless person when they are not prepared, and set fire to the city, kill them all, and kill all the officials of Goguryeo. The foundation of the entire country will be destroyed by us! Goguryeo will be in a state of no country!"

Xue Rengui was shocked and said, "Mr. Su, this idea is of course good, but it also takes an opportunity for me to wait. At night, there is no possibility of breaking through, nor is there any internal response, so I can't open the city gate. What should I do?"

Suning said: "Rengui, what do you think is the sound of thunder and explosions that often appear around Chang'an City?"

Xue Rengui was not sure why: "Didn't Su Hou say that it is, right? Gunpowder. It's gunpowder. Su Hou, what kind of medicine is this gunpowder? Can it be eaten? The sound is so loud, how can you take it?"

Suning looked at Xue Rengui speechlessly: "Who told you that gunpowder is taken?"

Xue Rengui habitually touched the melon seeds on his head: "Isn't it a medicine? Could it be that? This gunpowder is applied externally and cannot be taken internally? It is toxic to take internally? No, the sound is so loud, and externally applying is also very fatal!"

Suning sighed and shook his head and said, "Forget it, let me tell you, this gunpowder is not a medicinal material, but a weapon, a very terrible weapon! A piece of gunpowder is not a fear, but a pile of gunpowder gathers together and is placed in a wooden barrel. After it is ignited and detonated, as long as you stand within its attack range, you can't survive the bombing of your corpse. No matter how high your martial arts are, you can't withstand the explosion of this gunpowder!

Before we set out, the development of gunpowder has made a major breakthrough. Do you know the thickness of the city wall in Chang'an? Just that thickness, a city wall made of earth and stone, and an ordinary wooden barrel, it directly blows out a big hole that is two people high and half a thickness of the earth wall. As long as one more group comes, the earth wall as thick as the Chang'an city wall will be completely ruined! Do you understand? What kind of power is that?"

Xue Rengui looked at Suning with an alien look: "Su Hou, are you telling a joke? Gunpowder? Fire... Can medicine have such great power? Even a catapult can't do it!"

Suning sneered: "Take-up? Do you know that the Ministry of Works is still studying another new weapon, called artillery, and used with gunpowder. Once successful, these city walls are just native chickens and tiles and will collapse at one touch. At that time, we will attack a city, why should we be so worried? We will bring a hundred artillery guns to bombard the city wall. Without a stick of incense, the city wall will inevitably collapse and disintegrate. Our army can directly rush into the city and completely defeat it!"

Xue Rengui grew up and could not speak at all. When the gunpowder era came, although the cold weapons still maintained their power in some places, on the front large-scale battlefield, the cold weapons will always give way to hot weapons. Although this process will last for hundreds of years, under the promotion of Suning, Suning himself felt that in the Tang Dynasty, it may not take three or four hundred years to fully enter the gunpowder era.

No matter how surprised Xue Rengui was, Suning called out the four guards and said to them: "Let the gunpowder team divide all the gunpowder into half, smuggle it into the city gate, pile it up, leave enough leads, and then come back quickly. Rengui, go and reorganize the troops. Once the explosion occurs, our army will be ready to attack the enemy city immediately. There must be no delay. The military situation is urgent. If it cannot be done, we will definitely kill us! Also, tell the soldiers to use a cloth group to block the horse's ears, and also block our ears. After the explosion, I can only take them off after I give orders!"

"This..." Xue Rengui was a little confused.

Suning frowned: "Go quickly!"

Xue Rengui did not care about his doubts and immediately answered the order: "I will obey the order!"

The first time in history, the war to attack the enemy with gunpowder weapons is about to begin. This is the first time in this time and space history. The first time to use gunpowder weapons in wars or in siege battles. Suning feels that according to the current research progress, it is no longer difficult to create the most primitive artillery. As long as the problem of spiral patterns increasing range is solved, the trial of artillery can begin. The launch of solid bullets can also be carried out for the trial stage of siege.

Of course, the emergence of artillery does not mean that cold weapons are out of favor. In the mid- and late Ming dynasties, gunpowder weapons were still mainstream. The overall military equipment of the Ming Dynasty had nearly 50% of the equipment ratio of firearms. The number and types of firearms were amazingly high. The prototypes of many modern guns had appeared in the Ming army in the 16th century and played their own role.

However, these firearms still did not replace the cold weapons. The firearms of the Ming Dynasty could not stop the rampant Jurchen cavalry, which proved that in the 17th century, the power of firearms could not stop the attack of cavalry. Therefore, until the Napoleon era, there was still a cavalry unit in the European continent, and the lifespan and vitality of cold weapons were always tenacious.

Even if artillery appeared in the Tang Dynasty, Suning would not rashly promote gunpowder weapons. It would require research and long-term research and production before it could be equipped to the army.

The gunpowder has been placed, and the length of the lead is enough. When Suning saw a Mars in the darkness slowly moving his body forward, Suning pulled out a cloth to block Ai Malayfu's ears, and asked the soldiers around him to do the same. Then he blocked his ears, covered them with his hands, and added a second layer of protection.

This gunpowder is not too powerful, but this sound is definitely at the level of disaster...
