Big Ear Thief Selling Straw Sandals

Chapter 81 The little emperor who wants to go to heaven (plus more)
Liangzhou horse thieves joined forces with the emperor's own army and surrounded the Yongzhou army.

"I was looking at the mountain scenery from the city tower, and I heard the chaos outside the city, and the flags were flying, but it turned out to be the soldiers sent by Fatty Dong."

Master Lu is here.

"Xuande, you have the air of a general!"

"Ah, benefactor!"

Lu Zhi is a civil official, a civil official who has led soldiers and fought in war.

After a quick glance, it was roughly calculated that the number of troops on the slope was close to [-].

There are a total of [-] troops on our side, and the enemy is five to one.

"This is the Jedi."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Yes."

"Is there a brigade coming from Liangzhou?"

"Yes, nearly [-], about half a day's journey."

Lu Zhi looked around, and asked thoughtfully, "So, do you still have reinforcements?"

"Yes, about two or three thousand."

Lu Zhi frowned, not to mention that the reinforcements could not rush in, even if they did, it would still be difficult to fight.

Knowing that the villains are full of tricks, but still can't avoid worrying.

Seeing that the teacher was worried and knew that the other party was being questioned by two supreme beings, Liu Bei smiled.

"Disasters come with blessings, so this place is also a place of blessings. Dong Yuan is nothing more than a clown. Please wait and see the queen mother, emperor, and mentor."

"God of Gamblers. Forget, Gao Jin, Gao Jin!"

The God of Gamblers with a toothpick trotted over: "The end is here!"

"Fire two cannonballs to make some noise for the Empress Dowager."

"As ordered!"

Gao Jin turned and ran back to the artillery position.

"Prepare for bombardment, target: 'Yuan' character 'Dong' character battle flag!"

In order to prevent artillery, the cautious Yuan Dong coalition set up the defense line [-] paces away, and even asked the peasants to build earthen walls in front of the camp.

Where there is a spear, there is a shield. No matter what era, there is no shortage of smart people.

At this distance, people are like insects and ants, and can't see any details, except for using binoculars.

Hearing the shelling order, Zhao Yun adjusted the elevation angle of the muzzle with almost no need to read the artillery manual.

"The muzzle elevation angle is [-] degrees, and the adjustment is complete."

"A pack and a half of gunpowder is in place."

"The shells have been loaded."

Gao Jin shouted: "Clear the field of fire, light the fire!"

Red pennant, wave down.

"呲呲呲"

"Boom!"

The cannonball drew a graceful arc and traveled four hundred steps in the blink of an eye.

In the binoculars of Gao Jin and Zhao Yun, a large pit appeared on the wall that was being raised, and a large cloud of dust exploded.

"Oh!"

There was a muffled sound, and then there was a commotion ahead.

Dong Zhuo was shocked, and immediately went out of the tent to check.

I saw a large number of peasants and soldiers running away at the earthen wall in front of the camp, which caused the noise and commotion.

"Go and see."

The personal guard immediately stepped forward to investigate, and just walked a few steps away.

"Oh!"

The second iron ball crossed the earth wall and hit the military tent in the camp, and the screams rang out immediately.

At this moment, Niu Fu's personal guards ran over.

"My lord, let's go!"

Dong Zhuo didn't understand.

It seems that the opponent's bombing machine is not accurate. Why is the son-in-law's bodyguard sweating so anxiously?
That personal guard was a loyal old soldier, seeing that Dong Zhuo was still hesitating, he dragged him to one side without hesitation.

"Hey, what are you panicking about? What's going on?"

Dong Zhuo knew that the other party must have a reason, so he ran after him.

"Oh!"

The third shell landed on the right side of Dong Zhuo's tent, less than ten steps away.

A few dozen steps away from the military tent, the veteran pointed to Dong Zhuo's big tent and said, "The bomber was just trying to drop it a few times before, and it landed after three or four times."

"Boom! Crash."

Before the veteran could finish his sentence, the fourth shell had landed directly in front of the big tent, bouncing and rolling, destroying all the things blocked in the big tent.

Needless to say, Dong Zhuo also understood what the old soldier meant.

The big-eared thief took aim at his own military account.

In addition to being shocked and grateful, Dong Zhuo was even more puzzled.

"You mean, they can see my military account? How is that possible?!"

Four hundred steps, converted to 600 meters in later generations, and the big-eared thief is not eagle-eyed, how could he see it?

The veteran said he was not sure, but it turned out that the other party seemed to have clairvoyance.

"Yongzhou Army has Lao Shizi's 'telescope', a thousand steps away, it is as close at hand."

Dong Zhuo turned around and saw that he was the chief general of the Zhongyang Army.

Yuan Shao had been teaching and learning in Shangjun for more than half a year, so he had heard about the binoculars equipped by senior generals in Yongzhou.

"There is such a thing? Hey, why did you come here at the beginning?"

Yuan Shao smiled wryly and said, "Perhaps, my military account will too."

This guy guessed right. After destroying Dong Zhuo's tent, Zhao Yun recalibrated the cannon and started bombing Yuan Shao's tent.

About two quarters of an hour, the Yongzhou army stopped shelling, and the two commanders of the Yuan and Dong Lianjun looked at their messy tent, wanting to cry but not crying.

One dominates one side, one is an upstart in the court, and there is no place to sleep, what is this called?

What's terrible is that all the soldiers expressed Alexander for eating, drinking and sleeping under the gun.

Therefore, many people euphemistically said that there are too many damp snakes and insects here, and there are rumors that this place was originally a mass grave with bad geomantic omen.

Under pressure, Yuan and Dong could only retreat [-] steps back from the camp under the setting sun.

Zhao Yun and Gao Jin put down the binoculars, feeling a little regretful.

A thousand steps, it is almost impossible to bomb accurately.

For any slight vibration, the error of the shell's landing point is ten or tens of steps.

Thirty percent of the gunpowder and shells have been used up, ten taels of silver once, and it is not worth spending on ordinary soldiers.

On the hill, Empress Dowager He and Emperor Liu Bian put down the binoculars contentedly.

Seeing the rebellious ministers and thieves fleeing in panic, is really relieved!

It is best to smash them all to death, and let you know that there is no good end to fighting against me!

Empress Dowager He smiled and said, "Well done, enjoy the cannon barracks!"

Zhang Rang laughed and said, "The queen mother is wise! The soldiers will serve the country faithfully!"

Liu Bian looked at the artillery position on the top of the hill, and couldn't help but said: "Mother, my son is going to condolences to the artillery soldiers."

Empress Dowager He knew a little about artillery, and knew that it was an important military area, not only to prevent leaks, but also because gunpowder was very dangerous.

Couldn't bear to brush his son's mind, so he glanced at Zhao Zhong and said, "The Son of Heaven has a noble status, so don't move lightly."

Zhao Zhong immediately said: "Your Majesty can summon meritorious soldiers and reward them face to face."

Empress Dowager He nodded and said, "Good!"

The young emperor Liu Bian had no freedom. It was a pity not to see the cannons, but it was also a love of the house to see the brave soldiers of the artillery army.

After a while, Gao Jin, the captain of the Artillery Army, and Zhao Yun, a trainee soldier in artillery calibration, followed Liu Bei to the Empress Dowager's tent to face the saint.

Zhao Yun was holding solid shells, Gao Jin was carrying a small bag of loose gunpowder, and Liu Bei was holding a miniature artillery model and a few pieces of powder to make puppets.

Empress Dowager He said with a smile: "Uncle Huang please get up quickly, the two warriors are flat."

Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, and Zuo Feng put the four items brought by the face saint on the table respectively.

The Queen Mother briefly asked Gao Jin Zhao Yun if his family was well, and then ended her condolences, leaving time for her curious son.

15-year-old Liu Bian is curious by nature and has no immunity to the unheard-of artillery.

Gao Jin mainly introduced the working principle of shells and gunpowder.

Zhao Yun introduced the structure of the artillery in detail, including calibration and adjustment of the elevation angle of the muzzle to obtain different bombardment effects.

Although Liu Bian didn't know the details, he still listened with great interest, and was about the same age as Zhao Yun, so he went up to discuss with Zhao Yun face to face.

Liu Bian pushed the iron ball, pointed to the gunpowder and asked, "What is the reason for this thing to throw the iron ball a thousand steps away?"

Zhao Yun didn't study for a long time, so he couldn't answer.

Liu Bei stepped forward, pointing to the gunpowder in bulk and the gunpowder in the long barrel, and said: "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty, please allow me to demonstrate these two things."

The queen mother looked at Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"Yes. Thank you, Uncle Emperor."

Liu Bei took a silver plate, poured a little loose gunpowder on the plate, asked for another lit sandalwood, and extended the incense to the gunpowder.

"Oh!"

A bright flame flickered for a moment, raising a cloud of smoke.

Even though the three face saints were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but look sideways at them, let alone a group of people living in the forbidden palace.

Empress Dowager He felt palpitated, and Liu Bian subconsciously stepped back half a step.

"It burns when it meets fire, it is gunpowder. Therefore, some craftsmen use it to make puppets made of medicine, and there are thousands of changes in it."

Liu Bei took a medicine hair puppet: "This thing must be demonstrated outside the tent, please move it, Queen Mother, Your Majesty."

Everyone came outside the tent.

Liu Bei placed the medicine hair puppet ten steps away, stuck it into the soil, lit the fuse with an incense stick, and stepped back quickly.

Watching the fuse go into the interior, everyone held their breath.

"Shhhhhhhhhh!"

A series of firework bombs rushed into the air in the twilight, bursting out into a radiant surprise, which attracted the admiration of the Queen Mother and the emperor.

In fact, medicine hair puppets are not new in Dongdu, and they are also set off in the palace during the New Year's festival.

But every time I see the fireworks blooming in the night sky, it still makes me feel happy.

Pointing to the fireworks, Liu Bei said: "A small amount of gunpowder can launch fireworks to a height of ten feet, and the same is true for a hundred times the amount of gunpowder that can throw iron bullets a thousand steps."

The young emperor suddenly had a whim, and asked: "If it is multiplied a thousand times, wouldn't it be possible to send people to the Heavenly Palace?"

Liu Bei was terrified: My little ancestor, there was a million households in the Ming Dynasty who did this. Do you think he succeeded?
Above the hills, the fireworks are brilliant.

Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, who watched silently, imagined each other laughing and laughing, and their mood became worse.
