Datang Live Room

"It's such a hot day!"

Cheng Huailiang ran into Yan Kai's small courtyard and collapsed on the deck chair in the courtyard.

The dense branches overhead blocked the scorching sun, and the draft blew past her. She then took the watermelon smoothie handed over by Yan Kai.

"Brother Yan, my life is really all because of this watermelon smoothie!"

Thinking about the past days in Chang'an, it was as hot as a dog in summer.

How could the life here be so happy?

"I called everyone here today to talk about the war there. Now it's almost a tie there, right?" Yan Kai looked in the east direction.

"Not good!" Cheng Huailiang shook his head.

That Goryeo was really fierce, and now the two brothers Silla and Baekje united to fight him.

In the north, Su Dingfang is still watching.

This Goryeo was also on par with Silla and Baekje.

And as they gain a foothold, especially with the strong city defense behind them, they can begin to gradually counterattack.

"There was a fierce general in Goryeo named Yeon Gaesumun. After I heard that he led troops to go on an expedition, he defeated Silla and Baekje, which had a small advantage."

Li Anyan said and licked his lips.

My hands are itching, and I really want to fight with this guy named Yeon Gae So Moon.

Yan Kai was slightly startled, it turned out to be Yeon Gaesumun. This person was a key figure in the late Goryeo Dynasty of the Gao family.

Historically, it was this man who defeated the King of Goryeo, Gao Jianwu, and then blocked Silla's way of paying tribute to the Tang Dynasty, which aroused Li Shimin's dissatisfaction.

In the 18th year of Zhenguan, he began to attack Goryeo.

But it’s normal to think about it. Yeon Gae So-moon’s father Yeon Tae-jo was the lord of the eastern part of Goryeo, and he was equivalent to the prime minister.

He is also considered to be from a famous family. His father died a few years ago, and the position was passed directly to him.

After all, he is already 23,4 or years old now, which is his prime year.

It was normal for Goryeo to send him to fight.

Huang Rong also gave Yan Kai a battle report, which was the news returned from the Chao Peninsula by the Lijing Sect spies.

Also more detailed.

Yan Kai shook his head after reading it and said: "This gives Silla a chance, but they are useless!"

Yeon Gaesomun sent troops from Pyongyang, the capital, and within 20 days, he recovered seven cities captured by Silla and Baekje.

The fight will last for a while, he won't take the opportunity to defeat all Silla and Baekje, right?

These famous generals who can leave their names in history are not that simple.

"Prepare something, let's go help!" Yan Kai said helplessly.

On such a hot day, would I have been so tired if the two brothers on the peninsula hadn't done their best?

"Shall we help?" Cheng Huailiang said with joy on his face: "How many people should we bring? How to fight?"

Li Anyan's eyes also flashed with danger: "Otherwise, we can enter Pyongyang directly from the Daedong River. As long as we can capture the capital of Korea, we will naturally win this battle."

"What are you two thinking?" Yan Kai rolled his eyes at them: "They are fighting on their own, why should we go up and help them fight to the death?"

"But... didn't you say you were going to help?" Cheng Huailiang didn't understand.

"We need to help, but we can't just roll up our sleeves and go fight with others!"

Yan Kai said: "In war, people will die. We have so many people and so much money!"

Cheng Huailiang and Li Anyan knew that what he said was true, and Yan Kai's protection of his soldiers was simply abnormal.

I wish I could put a few layers of iron shells on everyone.

"What are you going to do?"

Yan Kai smiled mysteriously: "You will know in two days."

Two days later, Yan Kai, Li Anyan, Cheng Huailiang and others quietly boarded the Pipi Shrimp and headed east.

"Isn't this a newly developed trebuchet?"

Cheng Huailiang looked at the two big guys fixed on the deck and said excitedly.

Datang's trebuchet technology is actually not as powerful as it appears in movies and TV shows.

A total of 16 types of trebuchets were recorded in Zeng Gongliang's "Wu Jing Yao" of the Song Dynasty, and 7 types of trebuchets were also recorded in detail.

But none of these seven types of objects weigh more than 7 kilograms.

This is because the trebuchets before the Song Dynasty used human power.

A rope is tied to one end of the throwing pole, and a paraboloid is hung on the other end. When the rope is pulled manually, the parabolo will be thrown out.

How far it can be thrown depends mainly on how many people are used.

And now the two trebuchets of Pipi Xia are the "Xiangyang Cannon" of the Yuan Dynasty that was jointly made by netizens in the live broadcast room.

In 1274 AD, Yisimayin, an Arab expert on "Huihui artillery", was ordered to come to the front line of Xiangyang and captured Xiangyang City with "Huihui artillery".

Later, this trebuchet was renamed "Xiangyang Cannon".

Compared with the previous trebuchet, counterweight is used instead of human drag.

When fighting, lift the counterweight and hook the throwing rod with a live hook.

When the gun is fired, the live hook is released, and then the counterweight falls, driving the throw rod to rotate, and the projectile is lifted and launched.

Therefore, the Xiangyang Cannon can even project projectiles weighing more than 150 kilograms.

Cheng Huailiang touched the trebuchet and asked, "Has this thing been named?"

"Get up, call me a cannon!" Yan Kai, the little genius who named him, said proudly.

This is the first time that his name has been recognized by netizens in the live broadcast room.

Everyone thinks that this trebuchet is just like person i. Although it has huge energy inside, it does not dare to get close to his target.

Appropriate, so appropriate!

"Being shot at?" Cheng Huailiang had a bearded question mark on his face.

Why are the names of these things like Yan Kai weirder than the last?

Forget it, the name is not important, Pipi Xia is used to shouting, and Cheng Huailiang feels quite impressive.

Now on the East China Sea, who dares to look down on the Pipi Shrimp?

The important thing is...

"Are we going to use this to blast their city walls in Pyongyang?" Cheng Huailiang rubbed his hands.

"We don't lead troops to attack the city, so what's the use of blasting their walls?"

Yan Kai pointed to a box next to him and said, "Send them something special!"

"What is this?" Cheng Huailiang opened the box and found that it was full of strangely shaped clay pots.

Netizens in the live broadcast room noticed it.

"Why is this clay pot filled with gunpowder?"

"Ceramic cannonballs? What can this thing do?"

When these pots were made, no netizens in the live broadcast room could see them.

So they don't quite know what these pots, which are long like cannonballs, are for.

But there are still smart people: "Didn't the host use a Molotov cocktail last time? Fill the fuel in the Molotov cocktail and shoot it out with an i-man cannon. Isn't this a Molotov cocktail?"

"It's interesting. When attacking a city, this thing is better than using big rocks! Once it is thrown on the city wall, it will burn to pieces. When it is burned, the opponent cannot come up to defend it."

Seeing Cheng Huailiang pick up the pots and shake them in his hands, Yan Kai quickly said: "Be careful, I only made a few this time, don't break them."

"As for what's inside...it should be called false information."
