Chapter 173 The First Time of Gunpowder

Chapter 173 The First Time of Gunpowder

At this time, Li Meng walked into Guo Bang's mansion after eating, and saw Li Sa eating with Guo Bang, looking at the roast chicken, fine wine, and green vegetables on Guo Bang's table, Li Meng didn't know what to say, Guo Bang Seeing that Li Meng came in and was just eating the delicious food on the table, Si asked without raising his head.

"Li Meng, what are you doing here?"

Li Meng replied when he heard Guo Si's question.

"My lord, the last general came here because the quartermaster told me that the barracks didn't have enough food a few days ago. I hope my lord will take out the food in the mansion and distribute it to the soldiers guarding the city."

Guo Si raised his head slowly when he heard Li Meng's words, and frowned.

"Is there enough food in my mansion? Don't you go find it yourself if you don't have enough food?"

"My lord, since you took control of Chang'an, you not only inherited Dong Zhuo's Meiwu, but also moved Meiwu here. The grain of Meiwu is enough to feed the soldiers for two years.

"Now that the enemy is in front of us, we have no backup, but Ye Xiao has endless food and grass, which we can't consume. If you don't provide food to stabilize the morale of the army, the morale of the army will be unstable in the end, and the city will be destroyed. You can use the food to save it." What's the use?"

Guo Si was very angry when he heard Li Meng's words, he put his chopsticks on the table and said angrily.

"You're teaching me to do things?!"

Guo Bang originally thought that Li Meng would retreat obediently when he saw that he was angry, but who knew that instead of retreating, Li Meng stood up and said to Guo Bang.

"My lord, don't cause Chang'an to be lost for your own self-interest. At that time, the food will be given to Ye Xiao. I will keep it when I take it out. Then Cao Cao may send troops from behind to attack Ye Xiao. I will have a chance. If the lord returns Don’t want to part with those food, if there is a mutiny at that time, don’t blame me, my lord.”

Guo Si stood up when he heard Li Meng say that, ready to shout.

"Come here! Drag this disobedient person to me and kill him!"

At this time, Li Sa saw Guo Bang about to kill Li Meng and got up and said to Guo Bang.

"My lord, what Li Meng said makes sense. If the city is broken, those soldiers can surrender and avoid death, but we will have nothing left. Besides, Li Meng is still needed to defend the city at this time. If the lord kills him, who will guard it?" city."

Seeing Li Sa standing up to speak, Guo Bang was silent for a while and spoke slowly.

"Okay, you can send someone to carry the food."

Seeing that Guo Si agreed, Li Meng turned around and left Guo Si's mansion, and ordered his men to come down to Guo Si's mansion to move grain. Guo Si reluctantly led the group of people to the warehouse where he stored grain, and ordered the guards to open the warehouse. Seeing a warehouse full of grain presented in front of everyone.

Under Li Meng's command, all the sergeants began to move, and after a while, one-third of the grain in the warehouse was removed. Guo Si watched the grain being removed and walked to Li Meng with a face full of pain.

"You must guard this Chang'an City for me."

Li Meng straightened his chest, patted his chest with his right hand and said.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will not disgrace my life."

At this time, Ye Xiao came down from a carriage outside the barracks, seeing Ye Xiao, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun hurried up to meet him.

"My lord, I have just found Guo Bang's water source and I am going to lead my army to cut it off."

After Zhang Liao saw Ye Xiao, he immediately told Ye Xiao the information he had obtained.

"It's all trivial, I have prepared a treasure for you."

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, he had someone bring out the two boxes of gunpowder that had been made earlier.

"My lord, what is this?"

Zhang Liao looked at the black powder in the box and asked.

"gunpowder."

Ye Xiao didn't explain too much, but just asked the soldiers to find a jar, put many pieces of broken porcelain in the jar, put a piece of cloth in it, and then filled it with gunpowder.

Ye Xiao came to the catapult and put the jar on the catapult.

"My lord, are you going to throw poison into the city?"

Looking at those black things, Zhang Liao's first reaction was poison, Ye Xiao just smiled and didn't speak when he heard what Zhang Liao said.

I saw Ye Xiao picked up the torch and lit the fuse on the jar, and then ordered the catapult to be released.

There was a violent explosion after the jar touched the city wall, and there was a bang. The deafening sound made everyone tremble. The war horse who heard this sound for the first time was also scared and almost ran away.

Fortunately, the experienced cavalry calmed down the horse quickly, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble.

Many bricks and tiles were knocked down from the originally strong city wall.

Dust was flying around the city wall, and everyone opened their mouths in surprise. At this time, Ye Xiao looked at Zhang Liao and others with their jaws dropped and said with a smile.

"How is it a treasure?"

At this moment, Zhang Liao and the others were still in shock. After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Liao walked up to Ye Xiao.

"My lord, is this gunpowder so powerful? Can it be mass-produced?"

Ye Xiao nodded when he heard it, and Zhang Liao said excitedly when he saw Ye Xiao nodding.

"With this thing, the unification of the world is just around the corner."

"No, this thing is defective."

Hearing what Ye Xiao said, Zhang Liao asked in a daze.

"My lord, what are the flaws in such a fierce treasure?"

"My lord, I guess this thing is susceptible to moisture."

At this time, Chen Gong, who was standing beside Zhang Liao, picked up a pinch of gunpowder, rubbed it, smelled it, and said.

"As expected of a public platform, it is sharp when looking at problems."

"Your lord, you are absurd, but the lord said that this thing is called gunpowder. As soon as I heard the word "medicine", I thought of some shortcomings of medicines, and the shortcomings of medicines are nothing more than two kinds of decay and moisture. It doesn't look like something that can rot, so I guessed it would be wet."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, Ye Xiao nodded and said: "Indeed, even though this thing is still affected by the weather, so the stability is not very good, but it should be enough to deal with the current situation."

When Ye Xiao and the others were discussing, Guo Si exploded.

"Everyone, this thing can drop the bricks and tiles of Chang'an's city wall more than ten meters away. I don't know how many of them there are. If it is enough, my Chang'an city wall will crack after a few bombings. What can you do?"

When Li Sa heard what Guo Bang said, he stood up and bowed to Guo Bang.

"My lord, it doesn't look like there are many of these things. Otherwise, why didn't Ye Xiao take them out a long time ago, and only took them out after several days of besieging the city. It can be seen that this thing is very rare, and Ye Xiao is usually reluctant to use it."

Guo Si nodded when he heard what Li Sa said, and thought it made some sense.

"Even so, we still need to be on guard and order people to strengthen the city walls."

"My lord, the city walls have been reinforced three times, and there are no more bricks in the reinforced city."

Li Meng stepped forward and told Guo Si about the current situation.

"Then demolish the dwellings of the residents living near the city walls."

"My lord, how will I make up for the demolition? Where will those people live?"

Guo Bang turned to Li Meng and said.

"For the demolished residents, let them join the army if they are young, and work as laborers if they are young, and let them fend for themselves if they are old."

These words instantly exposed Guo Bang's robber nature.
