Unparalleled Concubine

Zhao Jia didn't continue talking.

But his hands, hidden in his sleeves, were still shaking.

This bright-minded young man knew very well that from tonight onwards, the era when everyone guarded the city may... be over.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jia looked up at Li Xin.

At the very least, in front of this Lord Jing'an, this era is over!

Chapter 530 Kill the past!

For the time being, what Li Xin's gunpowder can do is only this kind of fixed-point blasting for the time being.

Firstly, it was because he did it in a sneaky way, and only made the "prototype" gunpowder. As for the various thermal weapons derived from gunpowder, firstly, he didn't have time to think about it, and secondly...

Neither will he.

He was an ordinary white-collar worker in his previous life, and it would be good if he could barely remember the catchphrase of one sulfur, two nitrates and three charcoals. It is impossible for him to come up with more things himself.

As for the weaponization of gunpowder, if he wants to continue to try, he needs to gather a large number of craftsmen by his side, and then it is possible to continue, but as far as the current situation is concerned, this situation is not realistic.

Because this is his last hole card, he is not going to spend his heart and soul to give this thing to the "His Royal Highness Wei Wang", so he will do it himself without telling Emperor Taikang, but at present, he does not have a piece of his own. stall, so it is unlikely in a short time.

And gunpowder is not a panacea. As far as the current stage is concerned, it has a lot of restrictions. It is only possible to see miraculous effects in a specific place like Mianzhu, and its power is not enough to crush.

After all, it is impossible for the enemy to stand still and bomb you like Mianzhu City.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Xin wanted to get the 5 people in Nanshu. After all, there must be a certain base, and with the golden finger of "gunpowder", it is possible for Li Xin to gain the capital to fight against the Jin court.

But having said that, Li Xin didn't really want to take the initiative to turn against that Emperor Taikang.

One is because it is too difficult to rebel, and the other is because it is too tiring.

He can already easily be a prince for thousands of generations, and there is no need to work hard as a rebel.

After seeing Mianzhu break down the city, Li Xin turned around and returned to his handsome tent, Zhao Jia followed Li Xin step by step, and after sitting down in the handsome tent, Zhao Youan took several deep breaths.

He looked at Li Xin with a complicated expression.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Hou, I'm afraid the imperial court will not believe what you say about Tianlei..."

Li Xin squinted his eyes, and said lightly: "So what if the court doesn't believe it, do they think it's me, Li Xinxin, who blasted the city gate?"

Zhao Jia shook his head and smiled wryly: "Master Hou, this subordinate doesn't mean that. What this subordinate means is that if this statement is to be justified, we must make more preparations here."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia paused, and slowly said: "First of all, you can find a Taoist priest, walk around the barracks, and let the soldiers see him. Of course, you can't give him credit for this, so tell the court He is a wandering Taoist priest, and he left as soon as he came."

"Afterwards, those people you sent to do the work, Lord Hou, you must communicate with them one by one. If there is no accident, the court will definitely ask them after returning to the capital..."

Li Xin frowned slightly.

To be honest, he didn't think about so many details, and there was no need to get such details, because in this war, he had to believe what the court said, even if the court didn't believe it secretly, it must follow Li Xin on the surface. from the saying.

What Zhao Jia did was to make up for this lie. Although doing so felt a little guilty, it was not impossible.

At least more people can believe it.

Thinking of this, Lord Jing'an nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Then leave these things to brother You'an. Since you have done it, there should be no mistakes or omissions."

Zhao Jia lowered his head slightly, and was about to retreat.

Seeing that his expression was a little off, Li Xin waved his hand to call him, frowning.

"Those who really tried to attract "Tianlei" were my trusted brothers who have been with me for many years, and they are unlikely to talk too much."

"Brother You'an, don't try to kill them."

Zhao Jia was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly, lowered his head and said, "This subordinate...understands."

………………

The reason why siege is difficult is because the city gates, or the city walls are difficult to break, as long as the city walls are broken, it is often a crushing advance.

However, there are still many defenders in Mianzhu City, which is roughly equivalent to a Zhechong Mansion on the side of the Imperial Army, so even if Mianzhu City is broken, it will still be a hard battle.

But no matter how hard the fight was, at least the two sides were on an equal footing, instead of Li Xin being passively beaten all the time.

Under Ye Mao's leadership, the three Zhechong prefectures sent 5000 people to Mianzhu City.

The defenders of Mianzhu City were originally led by a general of the Pingnan Army, but after the deputy general Cheng Ping led troops to reinforce here, he took over Mianzhu City. At this time, Fatty Cheng was leading Mianzhu City.

Although this Cheng Ping looks a bit bloated, he is the third or fourth figure in the Pingnan Army. Because of his smooth handling, when Li Xin and others first came to the Southwest as the military supervisor, it was Cheng Ping who The fat man is in charge of "reception".

At that time, Fatty Cheng performed many clumsy siege scenes for Li Xin.

At this time, he was about to face a serious siege.

After Ye Mao's troops entered Mianzhu, they immediately divided into three roads and slowly advanced along the three main roads of Mianzhu.

This process of advancing was extremely resolute. Ye Mao personally made the "spearhead" of the spear, and with one effort, by midnight, he had already advanced halfway.

In other words, they already accounted for half of Mianzhu.

At this time, Ye Mao, who rushed to the front, was already drenched from head to toe.

Not all sweat, more blood of the enemy.

This little eunuch himself suffered a lot of injuries, but they were all flesh wounds. In the eyes of Ye Xiaogong, who was beaten up by Ye Cheng since he was a child, it was almost no different from scratching an itch.

He still held a long gun and stood at the forefront.

Opposite him was Fatty Cheng with a livid face.

This fat man was originally dealing with military affairs at his residence, and then he suddenly heard a report from his subordinates that the city gate was broken!

At that time, he thought that the Pingnan army guarding the city had surrendered to the imperial court, but after detailed inquiry, he realized that it was true that "the city gate was broken".

The gate of Mianzhu City was blown open by something unknown.

Immediately after that was the ferocious advance of the Imperial Guards. The Pingnan Army immediately lost its momentum because the city gate was bombed, so it kept retreating until it reached the center of the city.

The little father-in-law Ye Mao covered his hands with a piece of cloth expressionlessly, and then carefully wiped the blood on the gun.

This is done to prevent slipping.

While cleaning his gun, he looked up at Fatty Cheng not far away.

In front of the two of them, each had a personal guard holding up a shield, for fear that the other side would hurt their own general with a back arrow.
