The sky was overcast and dark clouds were hanging over the city.
The atmosphere in Chang'an City is becoming more and more tense. The Turkic army has entered Jing and Bin prefectures. The direct consequence is that prices in the east and west cities have soared.
Everyone is scrambling to stock up on food, and food prices are rising day by day.
The left and right officials of Chang'an, Wuhou, have stepped up their vigilance, and the various street shops have increased their manpower. The delinquents of Wannian and Wannian counties in Chang'an have also canceled their vacations, and all went to the streets and shops for inspection.
Even the patrolling knights on the left and right have doubled their manpower.
Although Chang'an City is not yet under martial law, the tense atmosphere is felt by everyone.
A group of Youxiao guards patrolling, guarding a Longyou cavalryman, holding a cloth high, appeared on Chang'an Avenue, with Marquis Wu in front clearing the way, and the bad guys sounded gongs.
"Great victory at Longyou!"
"On the seventh day of July, Wu Huaiyu, the military chief of Longyou Hospital, beheaded the Turk special Qin Ashina Que in Wushan River. He cut off 1,200 Turk heads and captured 300 alive."
"Great victory!"
"No, General Manager Chai Da won another battle and killed more than 10,000 Turkic wolf cubs."
"Oh, it's not strange if I don't know. Wu Erlang only came down from Zhongnan Mountain last month. More than half a month ago, he was specially awarded the ninth rank by the Crown Prince to join the army and become an official. Then he was appointed to inspect the medical school in Longyou."
Xu Luoren held the bamboo tube, which was not much longer than a palm, and said disapprovingly, "This thing is so small, it probably won't even make the bamboo tube explode."
The delinquents who are known as bad backbones are also very proud today, and they shout loudly to report their victory. The street shop warriors who usually look down on the delinquents the most are also very cooperative today to clear the way.
He didn't think about running away, but instead lowered his head to pick it up, preparing to pick it up and throw it out.
Several people were a little skeptical.
Ling Shi, who had just been transferred from Luoyang, was even more confused, "How could he join the army from the ninth rank and lead an army to annihilate 1,500 Turkic cavalry and kill a special agent?"
"What are you talking about?" Xu Luoren stood up in disgrace, "What are you talking about? Why can't I hear anything?"
"I heard that Shabo Luashe led his troops to attack Liangzhou before, but was repulsed by King Changle. He attacked Lanzhou again, but to no avail. It was Yu Sheshe's men who entered the Qinwei area."
Li Shimin and other people watching just ten steps away were all shocked. The sound was really too loud. Even though it was much smaller than ordinary firecrackers, and it only lasted for half a section, the sound was like a thunderbolt from the blue.
It was like an explosion, making people's ears buzz.
But Li Shimin smiled and said: "If it were just ordinary firecrackers, how could the manager of Chai Da make such a special statement and come all the way to deliver two? If it were really firecrackers, Wu Huaiyu would not be able to defeat and annihilate the Qian Er Cavalry who had already ambushed them.
.”
"Zhang Shuai, tell us, what's going on?"
The fuse was twisted by Huaiyu using paper and gunpowder, and then a little paste was added to it. It was very rough and unstable when burning. When it was ignited, it started to sparkle, which shocked Xu Luoren.
, he couldn't hold his hand steady, and the palm of his hand fell from his feet.
The situation was tense, and various gossips were flying around. As the Turks advanced, Chang'an became increasingly uneasy.
At noon, after seeing the formation and hearing the good news, the people of Chang'an came to watch and inquire.
"Your Highness, please stay away and I will light the fire." Xu Luoren was loyal.
"Thunder in Palm?"
Everyone came outside the palace, and many people came to watch the excitement.
Everyone was talking a lot.
"boom!"
"Chi!~"
There was a sudden explosion, a burst of fire, and then there was thunder like thunder, scraps of paper, gunpowder, and pieces of bamboo tubes burst and sputtered.
As the bad guys, Wuhou, and Xiaowei spread the word all over the city, the news of Longyou's victory spread throughout Chang'an City in half a day, and the name of the white-robed general manager Wu Huaiyu became more and more famous.
Li Shimin took ten steps back, "Didn't the paper say ten steps are enough? Hurry up."
"The situation is great. Yu Sheshe has lost more than 10,000 people in Longyou before and after. Now he is frightened by the general manager of Chai University and flees north in panic. Shabo Luoshe who previously attacked Liangzhou has also withdrawn. Now Qinlong, Lanwei, Liang, Gantao and Min are near the river.
There are no more Turks raging in the states." Zhang Jing said loudly, "That Yu Sheshe is just an eighteen-year-old wolf cub. He is no match for the manager of Chai Da. If he hadn't run fast this time, he would have been surrounded in Wei.
The state is taken prisoner."
Xu Luoren held a blowing fire fold in one hand and a palm thunder in the other.
······
East Palace.
"Yeah, the general manager of Chai University just sent someone to report the victory to Chang'an not long ago. He said that Tuyuhun and Dangxiang were fighting in Mintao. Now they turned around and killed the Turks again?"
Although Xu Luoren was holding it with his hands and was still bending down to pick it up at the time, the blow he received was just a slight skin injury and the ringing in his ears.
"Of course you have the ability. Think about it, how many ninth-grade people can be specially awarded by the prince to become an official?"
However, he still kept his duty as a guard in mind. He held a palm thunder in his hand and said to Li Shimin: "Your Highness, please step back twenty steps and watch."
A foreign official next to him who was also wearing a red official uniform asked, "Which hospital military officer Huaiyu is mentioned on the cloth?"
Li Shimin witnessed the power of the palm thunder at a close distance of ten steps.
"Xuanling, Ruhui, how about we go try it together?"
The crimson silk robe was also torn and burned in several places, making the whole person very miserable.
"This colleague of mine was just transferred to Beijing from Luoyang this month."
"Let's go, give it a try and you will know."
Although Chai Shao said that Wu Erlang used Taoist secrets to refine it, it was not a magic spell, but just a "weapon" that could explode with loud noises and flames, and its main function was to scare the enemy, especially the enemy's mount.
"What's going on in Longyou now?"
"Physician, call the physician quickly!" Seeing his childhood friend in this state, Li Shimin quickly summoned the physician.
Shock.
Li Shimin was very surprised by Chai Shao's report that the hospital army fought four bloody battles in the mountains and rivers in one day and night, and finally defeated the enemy camp with thunder in the palm of his hand and achieved a great victory in annihilating the enemy.
He moved closer to the lead wire.
After all, according to Chai Shao's report, at that time Wu Huaiyu and Wu Huaiyi brothers led 560 cavalry to attack the camp of 1,200 Turkic cavalry at night. The Turks were prepared and ambush in the camp in advance, but they were still beaten by Huaiyu's palm thunder.
They were disintegrated and then defeated.
He fell to the ground, his head was filled with buzzing sounds and he couldn't hear anything else. His hands were burning and bleeding, his clothes and hair were covered in foam and gray, and even his face was cut in two by the exploding bamboo fragments.
My face is all black and gray.
Fang Xuanling held the two palm thunders in the box and thought they were ordinary.
An official in Jiang's public service saw Zhang Jing, the delinquent commander of Chang'an County, and came up to talk to him. Chang'an delinquents were petty officials who were arrested by detectives. They were some local ruffians with bad records recruited by the government, and their leader
Bad handsome guys are still not popular.
"Your Highness, this palm thunder looks more like a firecracker."
But how powerful and loud can a piece of bamboo be?
"This bamboo tube has no ends and knots, so why does it make such a loud noise and scare the horses?"
"It's just firecrackers." Li Shimin said with a smile. Even if it is louder than usual, where can it go? Is it louder than thunder?
"Your Highness, there is also a piece of paper in this box. On it is written how to use the palm thunder. Use fire to light the fuse, or throw it directly into the fire.
But Li Shimin still couldn't imagine what this kind of thing looked like.
Li Shimin smiled from ear to ear and was in an extremely excited mood. Chai Shao also sent someone to deliver the details of the Longyou victory later.
"Didn't you say that the Turks raided Longyou and no one could stop them?"
"I heard that Yu Sheshe Momo and Sha Bo Luo She Suni were in the northwest and north of Shijian Yaling Prefecture, each with 50,000 men. They are the main force attacking Longyou this time. They can't be defeated so easily, right?"
Xu Luoren was even worse at close range.
Xu Luoren screamed.
Everyone was shocked.
The Longyou cavalryman was surrounded by people and paraded through the streets in red and colorful clothes.
Inside the Xiande Hall.
Remember to throw it out quickly after lighting it, and it must be more than ten steps away. Do not hold it in your hand and ignite it, otherwise you will be injured..."
Also sent with the report were two palm mines.
"If we set up a hundred thousand tents, we must have at least one hundred thousand cavalry. Even if we kill ten thousand, we still have ninety thousand left. Can we hold it? Jieli and Tuli have already entered Jingzhou and Binzhou."
"You don't know Wu Erlang? He is a rising star in Chang'an. His painting talismans and seals are astonishing to the gods and ghosts. He has made Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong the door gods. His acupuncture elixirs are also famous in the apricot forest. He is a living dead with human flesh and white bones. He is Zhong Nanyin.
Xian Xiaoyaozi has closed his doors as a disciple, who does Xiaoyaozi know? The founder of the current royal dojo Louguan Taoist..." Zhang Jing was showing off his news.
Firecrackers used to celebrate the New Year and drive away beasts are nothing new.
Li Shimin, who was in a good mood, was somewhat impatient, so he took Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian and other confidants to test the explosion.
"On the eighth day of July, Chai Shao, the general manager of Longyou, led the left vanguard cavalry, the Chinese cavalry, the hospital army, and the right vanguard and right battalion. They defeated the Turks in Xingxingchuan, Longxi, and killed two people. They went to the Ashina Valley and killed two people.
Thousands and three hundred heads, more than five thousand prisoners alive..."
"Great victory!"
"The battle was won?"
"It's made of bamboo tubes, but it only has one section. How can it explode?" Xu Luoren also looked at it. The ancients also used firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, but they were really just firecrackers. They put the bamboo poles prepared in advance and burned them.
Complete bamboo joints will explode when burned in fire. The bigger the bamboo, the louder the sound will naturally be.
Li Shimin was also very curious when he looked at the 'magic weapon' carefully wrapped in a wooden box.
At this time, if there is a victory, the court will announce it immediately, which can also inspire people.
However, these people are local cowards, they belong to the plainclothes team who were recruited, and they are well-informed.
But no one could have imagined in advance that this small section could be so powerful.
"What a bitch!" Zhou Fanshao, the general of the Forbidden Army, couldn't help but exclaimed.
Just when I lowered my head to pick up the thunder in my hand, it exploded in my hand.
"It's just like what the cloth says, it's a great victory." Zhang Jing had an iron ruler, a chain, and a soap coat on his waist.
Zhou Shaofan quickly put the remaining palm thunder back into the box and took it far away from His Royal Highness.
Li Shimin smelled the special smell in the air and the traces left on the ground. His heart was still beating rapidly. Li Shimin had experienced countless strong winds and waves, and he was really startled just now.
"The thunder in the palm can be emitted with the palm, like thunder and thunder. This is a good name." Li Shimin became more and more excited. It seems that this thing was not invented by Chai Shao. If it can be produced in large quantities, it will be of great use on the battlefield.
"No wonder Wu Huaiyu led the hospital army with more than 500 cavalry to attack 1,200 Turks. Although the opponent had an ambush, they were still stunned by hundreds of palm thunders. If this little thing rang among the horses in the middle of the night, it would be really shocking.
