A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Don't talk to each other, call yourself the last general!" Niu Jinda was full of energy, "Is there any more of that thing?"

"Yes!" Gu Qing said, as long as there are raw materials, you can have as many as you want!

"Okay!" Niu Jinda patted Gu Qing on the shoulder, "This old man really has the foresight to let His Majesty order you to go out with the army. The boy has such abilities. Once Songzhou is broken, this old man will remember you as a great contribution!"

Gu Qing was at a loss, it turned out that Niu Jinda proposed to let him go to the expedition, and he also said that such a farsighted guy has such a thick skin.

The next thing has nothing to do with Gu Qing. After handing over the formula to Niu Jinda, Niu Jinda asked his cronies to make gunpowder. The interests of the two knew that these people who made gunpowder must never see the light of day again.

Gu Qing taught them some tips for making gunpowder. Quantity and ratio are very important. If there is too much or too little, it will become a dud. When making gunpowder, there must be no open flames nearby.

"Hey hey..." Niu Jinda looked at the gunpowder in front of him and laughed strangely, a little gloomy, wondering if he was fooled by the blow.

"Little baby, come here!" Niu Jinda shouted to Gu Qing, "Is there anyone who knows how to make this thing?"

"There should be only one... the last general." Gu Qing nodded. The earliest time to use firearms should be in the Song and Yuan dynasties, and it was also popularized in the Yuan and Ming dynasties.

"Are there any more?" Niu Jinda asked again.

"No more!" Gu Qing quickly replied.

The more Niu Jinda looked at Gu Qing, the more pleasing he was, "Boy, you have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. If this thing can really break Songzhou, it's not surprising that His Majesty confers you a title."

Gu Qing smiled apologetically, "It's just that when using it, people should stay away from it, so as not to accidentally hurt their own people."

"That's it, that's it!" Niu Jinda couldn't help being excited when he looked at the jet-black explosives, his eyes were like looking at a golden girl who had taken off her clothes,

"Hahahahahaha!"

Every once in a while, there will be bursts of strange laughter in the commander's tent today, and the soldiers have bypassed the commander's tent one after another. Is the general bewildered, so scared.

A soldier whispered, "Is the general sick?"

"Not so bad," said another soldier.

"Hahahahaha..." There was another strange laugh from the handsome tent, which frightened the soldiers.

Once again preparing to attack the city, Niu Jinda rode majestically on his horse, "Boy, how do you feel today."

Gu Qing hurriedly said, "General Niu is heroic, full of murderous intent, and shows domineering in his gestures, he is indeed a role model in the army."

"You don't have any ivory in your mouth. The old man asked you how this battle will be today!" Niu Jinda shook his prestige, and whispered to Gu Qing, "In the future, when there are few people, you can talk about such things. I am not like Mr. Cheng. Man, I am an old cow and keep a low profile."

"General Niu taught you a lesson!" Gu Qing smiled.

……

"Ah chirp!" Cheng Yaojin, who was far away in Chang'an, sneezed in the court hall, and the ministers turned their heads to watch. Cheng Yaojin swung his arms and sniffed, and said loudly: "What are you looking at, I haven't seen it before." Do people sneeze?"

Chapter 65

Under Songzhou City, the army gathered to surround Songzhou City from four directions, preparing to attack the four city gates. Carts of explosives were placed on simple carts, and the fire wires were tied together.

"attack!"

Niu Jinda gave an order, and the army started to move. The first attack was just a feint, and the purpose was to send the explosives under the city gate in the chaos. Cheng Chumo led his team and waited in full force, although he didn't know what Gu Qing's method of breaking the city was. Niu Jinda is full of confidence.

boom!

There was only a loud noise, and the gate of Songzhou city was blown down!Debris flying everywhere!

"It's broken! The city gate is broken!" Gu Qing said.

Niu Jinda waved the long knife in his hand and shouted, "Kill!"

"Kill!" The army roared and the tsunami rushed towards Songzhou, like a river flowing into the sea, a vast ocean.

Cheng Chumo saw that Niu Jinda also rushed up, swung his knife and said, "Kill!"

There were constant explosions at the gate of the city, and the Tubo people on the top of the city were frightened. What happened?The city gate exploded!

Songzhou City was in chaos, with Tang troops constantly attacking the top of the city. As soon as the city gate was broken, the army went straight into the city. The soldiers fought hand in hand and crushed Tubo in terms of numbers. From the moment he sent [-] troops, he knew Li Er's determination. This battle can only be won but not lost. .

Yang Sheng followed Cheng Chumo and rushed into the city gate, only to see that the boy picked up the knife and slashed blood all over his body.

Seeing Cheng Chumo's appearance, Yang Sheng shook his head bitterly, "This guy is too fierce."

The overall situation was settled, and within a few hours all the Tubo people were crushed under the city. Gu Qing used explosives to end the difficult battle in just a few hours. Eight generations of women have been spoiled all over the place.

After winning Songzhou, Gu Qing also let out a sigh of relief.

"Hahahaha!" Niu Jinda laughed while stepping on a cart of unlit explosives, "With such a powerful military weapon, why would Tang Bingfeng be afraid!"

Gu Qing kept a distance from the pile of explosives, wondering if this Niu Jinda would be so happy that he would explode.

"Great Tang Wansheng!"

"Great Tang Wansheng!"

"Great Tang Wansheng!"

……

The applause continued in the army.

There is no danger, there is no danger, there is no danger... Gu Qing sighed, since the Tang Dynasty had explosives, wars will no longer be the main theme of cold weapons. The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated. Gunpowder opened the door for new weapons. There will be more hot weapons in the war.

The war will become more cruel!

"Head work, head work!" Niu Jinda patted Gu Qing's shoulder, and couldn't help laughing out loud in his heart, "Wow ha ha ha ha!"

The city gate needs to be repaired, the people need to be appeased, and there are many things to come. Gu Qing lived a comfortable life in the army, occasionally fought with Yang Sheng and Cheng Chumo to fight landlords, went hunting if he wanted to eat meat, and went hunting if he wanted to drink in the army. There is spirits.

Niu Jinda unexpectedly discovered that Gu Qing's healing method is very effective, the wounded recover very quickly, can wine heal?Write everything in the army on the report, and take a cart of explosives to Chang'an with the report.

Tang Jun took Songzhou back so quickly. The result of this battle woke up Songtsan Gampo. His own strength was not enough, and it was not time for Datang to confront head-on.

On the grassland, Songtsan Gampo said to the leaders of his various tribes, "There is a saying in the art of war in the Central Plains that it is better to fight against the outside than to secure the inside."

Among the handsome tents, Niu Jinda and Gu Qing were drinking, "Boy, wait for the reward when you go back."

"It's better to be taught by General Niu." Gu Qing toasted again and again, "What shall we do next."

"The next thing is of course to go to Tubo to teach them a lesson!" Niu Jinda said, "The blood shed by the people of the Tang Dynasty requires them to return ten times and a hundred times. It will definitely not be the case. Just wait, next There are also generals who come from Chang'an, and they have discussed it long before the expedition, and they will beat Tubo to the ground."

"I don't know if there is a sentence that should be said or not." Gu Qing said, "It is good to attack Tubo, but it cannot go deep into Tubo. The climate and geography of the high grasslands are not suitable for most of the soldiers from Guanzhong."

"You're right!" Niu Jinda took a sip of his wine, "Siege of cities and territories is our strength, but the people in Guanzhong are really unfamiliar with the territory on the grassland, so we have to take one step and see three steps."
