Chapter 2940 Above the city head of the entire Liaodong City, the light shines instantly
Cheng Sanlang grinned and greeted directly behind him.
"Cheng Fa, go and transport the thunder cannon to the deck."
"...Flying Thunder Cannon, Brother Chu Bi, that thing doesn't have a far range, right?" Liu Renjing on the side couldn't help but squeaked.
"Haha, the flying thunder cannon was indeed not far away in the past, but this treasure, which has been improved by Zhang, has a range that is twice as far as before. Within one mile, there is no problem at all."
"It's a pity that our trip was too hasty and we only produced a prototype cannon."
"This thing is dedicated to His Majesty, specifically used to destroy the key points of Goguryeo's city defense."
Cheng Chubi had already inquired before, and found out that many Goguryeo cities in Liaodong were very well fortified.
With the current small and medium-caliber artillery of the Tang Dynasty, it is quite difficult to break through a solid city defense. To be honest, it is a bit difficult.
However, His Majesty's expedition to Goguryeo came with the determination to win. Of course, Cheng Sanlang had to consider his father-in-law, so he improved the flying thunder cannon he had designed before.
After many repeated tests, this type of gun can throw ammunition weighing nearly twenty kilograms a mile away.
In this way, even if there were a large number of ballistas and other things on the walls of Goguryeo, the improved version of the flying thunder cannon could easily aim and fire beyond the range of these enemy weapons.
Cheng Sanlang kept pointing his fingers towards the distant head of Liaodong City and began to measure the distance.
From such a long distance, if you want to blow up the Goguryeo general who is suspected to be Yeon Gaesumun, you will probably only have one shot.
After all, the other party was not a fool. He would just stay there and act as a target. This made Cheng Sanlang feel a little proud.
Fortunately, this kind of flying thunder cannon had only wreaked havoc in the Tang Dynasty before. The men, women, old and young in Luoyang City, as well as the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty had all seen the power of this wonderful treasure.
It even blew down the gate towers of Luoyang City and the walls of the imperial palace.
You must know that the amount of real nitrifying explosives contained in previous flying thunder cannons was only about twenty kilograms.
But those were all things that happened in the Tang Dynasty. The Goguryeo natives far away in Liaodong must not know how powerful this thing is.
#####
But this time, Cheng Chubi felt that he should use this flying thunder cannon that could send thirty kilograms of nitrate explosives one mile away.
It not only allowed the Goguryeo people to enjoy themselves, but also served as a perfect start for the Tang Dynasty's war against Goguryeo.
Haha, one shot killed Yeon Gaesomun. In that case, "The Romance of Cheng Sanlang Liaodong" will at least have some highlights that can be described.
Otherwise, Cheng Sanlang felt that he had wandered here, just squatting on the ship to transport food and grass, without even fighting an enemy, and even the musket battalion he built had not fired meat, and there was nothing worth mentioning.
The highlights.
Then "Cheng Sanlang's Romance of Liaodong" doesn't need to be edited directly. You can't write "Cheng Sanlang's Romance of Liaodong's Grain Transport", right?
It is better to just start the previous article "Cheng Sanlang on the advantages and disadvantages of water transportation and land transportation in Liaodong and the subsequent impact of Datang's military operations in Liaodong on Datang's national policy in the next few decades."
Yes, it went directly from a romance novel to a dull, boring, professional and academic journal report.
In order for his legend to continue on this blockbuster, my father-in-law, who has spent his whole life in the military, did not personally conquer Goguryeo like in another historical time and space, but ended up being an anticlimax.
After Cheng Chubi exhaled, he squatted in front of the improved flying thunder cannon and lit the fuse...
At this moment, Eulji Kwaiman was standing proudly on top of the Liaodong City. When he showed up just now, the waves of cheers made him feel very excited.
Although he knew very well that he had no talent in military strategy, as long as he was now, the fighting spirit representing the Eulji clan was still flying and reverberating in the sky above Liaodong City.
Eulji Aoi glanced majestically at the Goguryeo soldiers below the city who were looking up at him with eager eyes. He knew very well what they needed.
"If these gangs of thieves from the Tang Dynasty dare to attack our Liaodong City, we will definitely teach them how to come back."
As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of cheers. At this moment, Pu Puqin, the general who commanded the two thousand Goguryeo archers outside the city, raised his arms and shouted loudly.
Soon, the two thousand archers formed a horizontal formation and began to slowly advance towards Liangshui.
Eulji Kuiman put his hands on his back and looked at the warships of the Tang Dynasty. There were only ten warships. There were 20,000 elite troops guarding the Liaodong City.
Even if the Tang State sent a hundred warships, it would be in vain. After all, this is land, not a vast ocean.
Relying on the city wall of Liaodong City that was so thick that every Goguryeo soldier felt at ease, and the emergency report that had just been received, Yeon Gaesumun led 40,000 elite troops and was on the way to help.
Eulji Kwaiman, I really can’t understand, how could the Tang people win? How could Goguryeo lose?
Just as the archers outside the city were shouting and marching towards the waterfront with high morale, suddenly, there was a dull but shocking loud noise, causing everyone to subconsciously stop moving.
Eulji Kuiman, who was perched high on the thick wall of Dongliao City, also saw a ball of flames and thick smoke ejected from the Tang warship on the Liangshui River directly opposite.
"What's going on?" The general next to Eulji Kwaiman couldn't help but crane his neck. With sharp eyes, he saw what seemed to be a black dot flying into the sky.
Jumping high into the sky, like a bird, it flew across the sky, then swayed and flew towards this side...
A group of Goguryeo natives were all confused and raised their heads, like a group of meerkats curiously looking at the world.
They were located in Liaodong and had relatively little information. They had no idea that the Tang Dynasty had begun to apply gunpowder weapons to the battlefield.
However, although Eulji Kwaiman is not good at military strategy, he is quite capable of protecting himself wisely. Well, to describe it more neutrally, he is more afraid of death.
The moment he confirmed that the black dots were flying towards this direction, Eulji Kwaiman started to move to the side without hesitation.
After all, he didn't know what kind of thing the navy of Tang Dynasty threw at him. If it was an iron ball or a stone, would he be able to enjoy a pleasant life in the future after being hit on the head like this?
He walked six or seven steps to the side and saw the dark object falling down and hitting the city head.
Then, the entire city of Liaodong City suddenly became brighter...
