Chapter 2719 This kid is ready to lead my Tang elite to break my Tang imperial capital)
Before he finished speaking, everyone saw a sudden flash of dazzling light on the far bank of the river. Then, the originally dark midnight seemed to suddenly become brighter. At that moment, everyone was caught off guard and narrowed their eyes.
.
I saw the trees around the flames flying in all directions like frightened children...
A violent explosion swept across instantly, as if someone was hitting the eardrum with a sledgehammer.
The shock caused everyone's expressions to instantly distort, and they all subconsciously bent over and covered their ears.
And the violent explosion sound waves seemed to reverberate even between heaven and earth for a long time.
"It's done, it's done!" Cheng Chubi picked out his itchy ears, grinned, and let out an excited laugh.
Then he grabbed a torch from Deng Chengxin's hand and rushed towards the explosive spot that was still glowing with flames.
Almost everyone excitedly followed Cheng Sanlang's footsteps and ran wildly in that direction.
Zhao Kun walked over and was obviously at least seven or eight feet away from the still-burning bomb. Zhao Kun could already see that the ground was covered with broken branches and leaves...
After getting closer, what I could see was that all the tree trunks as thick as the mouth of a bowl were either broken and crooked, or were broken off and lying crooked on the ground.
Just when Zhao Kun's face became more and more serious, he heard Li Ke's exclamation coming from the front.
"My dear, brother Chu Bi, why is the soil on the ground so soft?"
"That's because the explosion was so powerful that it scattered the soil on the ground and turned it into floating soil..."
"This thing is too terrifying. It's so powerful. I'm grateful that even if I push dozens or hundreds of kilograms of black powder, I'm afraid it won't have the same effect..."
"That's natural. Otherwise, why would Cheng have the confidence to say that he can break through Luoyang City tomorrow?"
Zhao Kun glanced at the extremely miserable scene nearby, then turned to look at the location of the thunder cannon barrel more than a hundred steps away. After a long time, he wiped his face fiercely and mumbled something.
However, the leader of the Ouchi guards must know very well that Cheng Sanlang has come up with an incredible treasure again and must report it to His Majesty.
All night long, from time to time, there were huge explosions by the Luoshui River, which frightened many small animals.
But in this team initiated by Cheng Sanlang, almost everyone had dark circles under their eyes, but no one felt sleepy.
After all, the explosion sound was so powerful that it was first buried underground to test the propellant charge, and then placed on the ground for testing.
Back and forth, almost a dozen were delivered. Each one went through rigorous launch testing and was determined to have no problems.
Cheng Chubi finally announced the end of the test. After all, considering that daybreak was about to dawn, boats would start to sail on the water surface of Luoshui again. Weapons testing would not affect the production and life of the people.
After returning to Chengjiazhuang, Cheng Sanlang and others quickly took the time to catch up on their sleep. They slept until almost noon when they were woken up.
Because General Cheng has led his troops and horses to advance towards Luoyang, and is now less than twenty miles away from Luoyang City.
Cheng Chubi and others didn't dare to delay. After washing up hastily, they took the treasures they had prepared long ago and rushed to the official road by the Luoshui River.
Although he knew that his own son was causing trouble near Luoyang, General Cheng still did not expect that he would meet Cheng Sanlang today.
#####
And Fang Erlang also met two brothers, Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke, whom he had not seen for a long time.
After some exchanges of greetings, General Cheng, Li Chengqian and others were attracted by the carriages behind Cheng Sanlang and others.
"Brother Chu Bi, are these the good treasures you said you would use to attack the city?"
Li Chengqian curiously looked at the bronze or cast iron barrels exposed after lifting the linoleum.
I can't imagine how this thing could help capture Luoyang City.
Li Ke couldn't help but show off proudly, reaching out and patting the strong barrel of the thunder cannon.
"Brother, this is a long-range weapon created by Brother Chu Bi, specially used to launch thunder."
After hearing this, General Cheng's mind was in a mess. He really couldn't imagine that that kind of iron lump could be equipped with feather wings and fly around like a blind chicken in the sky.
I couldn't help but twitch my thick beard like a steel needle and asked Cheng Sanlang in a low voice.
"Sanlang, dad knows about the grenades and land mines, but what kind of flying thunder is it that can fly out of this iron barrel and hit the enemy?"
"Dad, the shells of this thunder cannon don't have wings. They rely on using propellant in the metal barrel to eject the shells of the thunder cannon, and then fall to a distance to injure the enemy."
"What does the cannonball look like? Bring it to dad to see how the iron lump is different from the previous landmines and grenades."
"Dad, this flying thunder is not made of iron, but of cloth."
"...Little Taibao Cheng, you can't joke, can you? Bu's thunder bomb, can that thing hurt the enemy?"
Yu Zhining, who was standing aside, felt that either he was crazy or Cheng Sanlang was talking nonsense.
Cheng Chubi chuckled and pointed with great confidence to the large boxes on the carriages behind them. Thunder bombs, that is, explosive bags, were packed in those large boxes.
"Of course it can hurt the enemy. If the thunder bomb explodes, there will be no chance that any living creature within three feet of the explosion will survive."
"Even if it is a living creature five or six feet away from the center of the thunder bomb explosion, it will be seriously injured even if it does not die."
"...So powerful?" Li Chengqian couldn't help but take a breath. As a fan of Brother Chu Bi, Li Chengqian had always trusted Brother Chu Bi's words without reservation.
But after hearing what Brother Chu Bi said, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart. Is Brother Chu Bi's words a bit too exaggerated?
"Dad, please believe me, I will leave the heavy burden of attacking the city to you today. I will definitely let you see the true power of gunpowder weapons."
Seeing his son's urgent expression, General Cheng could only look towards His Royal Highness.
"Since Brother Chu Bi is so confident, how about we ask him to give it a try first?"
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince readily agreed, General Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief and said while stroking his thick beard.
"That's fine. After all, our army came all the way. The march was in a hurry, and we didn't have any siege weapons."
Having said this, General Cheng slapped Cheng Sanlang on the shoulder.
"It doesn't matter how powerful your thing is, anyway, third brother, you can just make a lot of noise around the city gate.
The bigger the noise, the better. If the city of Luoyang is destroyed, my son, you will have done a great job."
The more Cheng Chubi listened to his father's words, the darker his face became. He was so noisy. Your son and I are not a monkey.
Forget it, there are too many people who have never seen a flying thunder cannon, and there is no need for me to prove it by firing one at everyone I see.
"It seems that your father and others don't really believe in the power of these treasures, Brother Chu Bi."
Li Ke, who was bragging about the flying thunder cannon to Fang Erlang and his elder brother, came over and whispered softly.
Hearing this, Cheng Chubi smiled coldly and put his hands on his back. His eyes were filled with a strong sense of superiority as if a gunpowder weapons expert looked down on a cold weapon expert.
"It doesn't matter, let's wait until they get to the gate of Luoyang City, and let them witness the grand scene where Cheng easily breached the capital of the Tang Dynasty."
"Well..." Li Ke and Zhao Kun nodded in unison.
At the end, Zhao Kun smacked his mouth in pain and asked the guards of Ouchi and Prince Wu's palace on the left and right.
"Hey, why do I feel that Cheng Sanlang's words sound so unpleasant?"
"The general will know this because this guy is planning to lead our Tang Dynasty elites to destroy our Tang Dynasty capital."
"Ah, this..."
"No, no, no, everyone, if you think about it, now that the capital of the Tang Dynasty is occupied by rebels, there is nothing wrong with Cheng Sanlang destroying it."
"There's something wrong. Now that it's occupied by rebels, how can it still be called the Imperial Capital of the Tang Dynasty? Ah! General, why are you kicking me?"
"???"
