The Lone Star of the Tang Dynasty

"If it is used properly, it doesn't even need 10,000 soldiers and horses to break through Dingxiang City, only 500 elites are needed to break through in all directions!"

Li Changge's voice fell, Li Er and Li Jing were dumbfounded, and even Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng, the three ministers, were stunned and couldn't answer. 500 people conquered Dingxiang City? If this was put in the Qin Dynasty, would it still want to send 200 people to build the Great Wall?

In the face of everyone's surprise, the corners of Li Changge's mouth hooked up a strange and confident smile: "This is the essence of the true soldier's sophistry, if you can't combine your own advantages, maximize your advantages, and rely on trickery alone, even if you win a few battles, what's the point?"

He went on to explain, "The Turks would never have imagined that the secret weapon in the hands of my Tang Dynasty's Xuanjia Army was a cluster grenade!".

Indeed, Li Changge's real plan was not to use 500 people, but to take advantage of the prestige of later generations, because of its high portability, strong concealment and powerful characteristics, so that it was banned by international conventions. This weapon is excellent for destroying walls during sieges.

As Li Changge revealed the key - the grenade, Li Er and Li Jing suddenly became enlightened, it turned out that Li Changge did not understand military tactics, but intended to subvert the traditional battle situation with new weapons. They envisioned that if the grenade managed to break through the walls, its surprise effect would inevitably cause panic and confusion among the Turkic army, and that the enemy in the city might be attacked by the high-spirited Xuanjia army before they could meet it, and the chances of victory would increase dramatically.

However, they could not imagine how amazing it was that the weapons that could enable 500 men to break through the walls of a fortified fortress were amazing.

Li Jing only felt that his scalp was numb and his heart was beating faster

Li Er took a deep breath, clasped Li Changge's arm, and said resolutely: "Childe, you have to let me see this grenade no matter what you want today! Otherwise, I won't leave, and I'll have to eat here for a year!"

Seeing that Li Er's mood was rising again, Li Changge secretly regretted in his heart that he had pretended to be too forced, and these guys began to boil again. However, he also understands that after all, they are Tang monarchs and ministers, and they are extremely concerned about national security interests.

So Li Changge had no choice but to wave his hand to appease everyone: "Okay, if you really want to see it, we will go out after dinner." However, I should state in advance that the power of these experimental grenades in my hands may not be completely up to standard, and I can only say that the overall performance should not be too bad. "

Li Er couldn't hold back his excitement and couldn't wait to interrupt Li Changge's words: "What else to eat? Let's go to the field experiment now! Hurry up, prepare the horse!"

While Li Er was in high spirits, Li Changge was skeptical.

The birth of black huo medicine has long been widely known in Li Changge's time, which was researched by those alchemy Taoists who could be seen everywhere during the Song Dynasty. It's not that difficult to make. Materials such as sulfur and saltpeter are not difficult to obtain. The real challenge is how to accurately formulate the proportions in the recipe without the guidance of chemical theory. But... Compress black huo medicine, this is really a technical work.

Although Li Er seemed extremely excited, Li Changge knew that things were not so simple. The production of this huo drug requires extremely careful handling, slow and steady methods, and an absolutely metal-free manufacturing environment. It took him a lot of experimentation and attention to make it so much.

If Li Er really opened the Huoo Pharmaceutical Workshop, once the operation was wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable. This will not only make Li Shimin lose face, but even the old Li family and Li Changge himself will be implicated.

Therefore, Li Changge decided to repeatedly emphasize to Lao Li that the importance of this matter is both risky.

"Lao Li, don't be in a hurry to be happy. Li Changge slowly spoke, "The power of this HUO medicine can definitely satisfy you, but the manufacturing process is full of dangers. ...... carelessly".

"To put it simply, if there is an accident in the workshop, no more than 20% of the creatures will survive within five miles of it. "

"It's... It's terrifying, isn't it?"

Wei Zheng and the others also frowned, "Isn't this an evil thing?"

"Childe, are you planning to use this to exorcise demons and cast a curse?"

"War is a contest of life and death, and the use of such insidious techniques is probably not good for the country. "

Everyone's questioning made Li Changge laugh dumbly.

"Your ideas are really old and superstitious. But don't worry, this thing is definitely not a sinister thing, and there is nothing more yang than this in the whole world. "

With that, he turned and walked towards the workshop, "Come with me, and I'll show you how." "

Within a moment, Li Changge led Li Er and his party to the depths of a remote mountain col.

The jungle here is dense, the strange rocks are craggy, desolate and dangerous, especially after the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the security of the land of Shenzhou has long been gone, and bandits are rampant, such as Shi Chong, the richest man in the Western Jin Dynasty, who started by robbing in the northwest.

There are often traces of Turkic people around, so Li Er and the others are all heavily guarded, and Li Jing is even more vigilant, like an eagle's eye to see the Quartet.

Du Ruhui asked in confusion: "Childe, why do you want to conduct an experiment in such a remote place?"

Li Changge smiled indifferently and waved his hand to signal that everyone didn't need to worry too much: "It's just right to come here, the village needs to dig a river canal here, and there are huge boulders blocking it here, and I plan to blow it up." "

"Stone, which stone?" Li Er looked around suspiciously, until Li Changge's chin was raised towards the hillock on the side, which was a pile of rubble about seven or eight meters high. Everyone was instantly dumbfounded, and it was unbelievable that such a huge pile of rocks could be removed by manpower, which was simply reminiscent of Jingwei's feat of reclamation.

The next scene was even more shocking, only to see Li Changge take out a small paper bag and a strangely shaped kettle from his arms. He carefully opened the paper bag and slowly stuffed a strange black and gray object into the kettle, with extreme caution. He then placed the kettle under the rock pile and attached it to the mechanism with a long rope.

Immediately afterwards, he dragged Li Er to evacuate the scene quickly.

"Let's go, let's go!".

Li Er didn't know why, "Didn't you come to test the weapon? Why did you leave?"

At this time, Wei Zheng, Li Jing and other ministers noticed that His Royal Highness, who had always been calm and calm, had a solemn face at the moment, which had never been seen before.

Soon after, they withdrew to a pit two or three hundred meters away.

It turned out that Li Changge had already prepared a long enough rope.

Faced with everyone's suspicions, Li Changge pointed to the narrow and narrow earthen pit about two meters deep, which was actually a temporarily dug trench: "Everyone, please hide in this pit with me." Fortunately, the villagers dug big enough, and it was not a problem for a few of us to squeeze together. "

In this era, Li Er and the others had never seen such a military facility as a trench, and they only felt that it was like a place to bury the dead, and they felt a little taboo.

Wei Zheng frowned and hesitated: "This pit is often used to bury the deceased, I'm afraid to go in...... Not very lucky. "

Several others agreed.

Li Changge smiled and said nothing: "If you don't want to come down, I won't force it." However, the weapon is about to be activated, so in order to avoid accidentally injuring innocent people, please retreat ...... first."

Hearing this, Li Er hurriedly responded: "Childe misunderstood, I'll wait for this to come down!".

Although they were full of confusion about Li Changge's actions - they clearly said that they would test weapons, but they left and drilled into the pit, they still chose to believe and comply.

When everyone jumped into the pit, Li Changge's eyes lit up, and he decisively pulled the rope in his hand, and then quickly leaned over and hid under the pit with Li Er and the others.

The next moment ......

Boom! The deafening sound of the explosion instantly tore through the silent mountains...... It was as if the loud sound of the first opening of heaven and earth shook everyone's hearts.
