Chapter 496 New Weapons
"Wuji's idea, tell Yunhao!" Li Er's tone was very lonely.Yun Hao was very surprised, except for the night before the Xuanwumen incident, he had never seen this expression on Li Er's face again.

"What Mr. Zhao means is that our army is weak and it is impossible to fight the enemy in the field. And if we defend the city of Chang'an, we will undoubtedly hand over the whole Guanzhong to the Turks. After the Turks poison Guanzhong, the army on the front line of Hebei There will also be no food and wages available. At that time, the Tang Dynasty will fall apart. There is even no question of whether Guanzhong can be preserved."

"Don't hesitate, let me tell you!" Li Er took a deep breath and said, "I plan to empty the treasury of Chang'an, and I want to persuade Xieli to retreat. But before Xieli retreats, he needs to hurt the Turkic people once. Only those who are strong can Only then can you be qualified to negotiate. What I mean is, you go and take Zuo Wuwei to beat Jieli once. How about it?"

Yun Hao closed his eyes and said nothing, humiliation!It's a real humiliation that the mighty Tang Empire wants to empty its treasury to let the aliens retreat.This is not the cowardly Song Dynasty, but the mighty prosperous Tang Dynasty.

A historian once said that only by understanding helplessness from history can one truly understand history.

Li Er was helpless, he just took the throne from his father.The domestic rebel forces have not yet been completely pacified, and the troops that Datang can fight are all confronting Luo Yi in Hebei. The 10,000+ Turkic army has already reached the gate of the capital, and the building will fall soon.Li Er had to do this!Yun Hao was sure that Li Er's heart was bleeding.

"Tell me! Let me fight the Turks." Yun Hao took a deep breath, if he can't teach the Turks a lesson.Li Erlian didn't even have the qualifications to negotiate, and the Turkic people always killed the weak.

"According to the speed at which the Turks advance, the striker led by Ashina Dutu will reach the Weishui River in four or five days." Li Er said calmly, looking at the sand table.

"Is it Ashina Dutu who beheaded Dugu Yanyun?" Yun Hao felt his eyelids twitch.

"Yes!" Li Er took a deep breath, his eyes full of hatred.

"I will bring his head back, if I can still find his head." After finishing speaking, Yun Hao walked out of Wude Hall without looking back.

Damn it is a thief, living in this world is to earn your life.Turkic people, if you don't kill your green shit, you have never eaten leeks.As for whether the Turkic people would eat leeks or not, that was out of Yunhao's consideration.

Zhang Miaoke silently applied wax to the armor, and Dugu Wanwan tied strips of armor silk sash on the dark armor.Xin'er and Yuan'er silently helped Yun Hao prepare the clothes, but there was actually no need to prepare much.This time, at most, he would go to the edge of the Weihe River and fight against the Turkic forward.The most important thing is how to bring Ashina's aggressive head back.Dugu Wanwan needed this thing to comfort her father's spirit in heaven.

Baby Yun dragged Panda Xiao Hua, walking aimlessly around the house.He found that there was something wrong with everyone in the family today, and everyone walked as if they had been chased by wolves.The generals are all wearing armor, but they usually don't wear armor.Puzzled, Baby Yun raised his head and asked, "Brother Gouzi, what happened to them?"

"It's time to fight, fight the bad guys!" The scar on Gouzi's face glowed dark red, and he wanted to go to the battlefield with Uncle Yun no matter what.Bullied by aliens since he was a child, Gouzi longs for war and the battlefield.He likes the scene where the blood of the alien race is flying, such as the blood-soaked Koreans lying in the snow.

"Baby wants to beat bad guys too, Brother Gouzi, can you take me there? Xiao Hua is very powerful, and all the dogs in Zhuangzi are afraid of him." Baby Yun hugged Panda Xiao Hua, trying to raise his head.He also opened his lips with his hand, exposing Xiaohua's fangs, trying to create a ferocious expression.

"No! The villains are very powerful, even more vicious than wolves. Xiaohua can't beat them!" Gouzi shook his head. He heard that the Turkic people, who are more vicious than jackals, can't be dealt with by a bear.

Yun Hao is also thinking of a way, this time he has no place to rely on.It is completely necessary to fight the Turkic cavalry on the plains, and the powerful eight-ox crossbow cannot be counted on.Although this thing has been improved many times, the loading speed is still too slow.When the cavalry rushed over, they generally could only fire two rounds.

In plain warfare, the distribution of cavalry is relatively scattered.The powerful penetrating power of the eight-ox crossbow cannot be converted into sufficient lethality.

The trebuchet obviously doesn't work either, it's also a matter of rate of fire.In the face of very scattered cavalry, the bombs thrown by the trebuchet usually did not kill many people.Now, Yunhao needs a powerful covering weapon, such as Stalin's organ.

Yun Hao got a lot of saltpeter, and after adding water into the big tank, he kept stirring it with a wooden stick.There was a crackling sound in the big tank, and the saltpeter was rapidly merging with the water.

"Boy, what are you messing with?" Old Yu, who heard the news, immediately put down what he was doing.Generally speaking, Yunhao only needs to settle down and do something.Many people will die, because this kid seems to be very knowledgeable about murder weapons.

"A thing that can make explosives fly out by itself!" Yun Hao was so busy that he didn't even bother to lift his head, and Yu Lao saw Yun Hao's concentration.He also found a big wooden stick to help Yun Hao stir vigorously.

After vigorous stirring, the saltpeter and water were fully integrated soon.Yun Hao covered a large vat next to him with a thin linen cloth.Pour the saltpeter water onto the linen cloth, and after a while, a thick layer of impurities was left on the rags.The saltpeter water in the tank is no longer so cloudy.Appears a milky white color.

Yun Hao scooped out the saltpeter water again, this time covering the vacant large tank next to it with three layers of sackcloth.After this filtration, the water in the tank is clearer.After three times of filtering, the vat was covered with as many as seven layers of linen.

After getting relatively pure saltpeter water, Yunhao put them into a still pot and boiled them.The academy used to manufacture sulfur, and there were many such pots.Now the academy produces more nitrocellulose, and the gunpowder, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and not powerful enough, is already in a state of semi-stop production.This is also something that can't be helped, the cost of gunpowder is indeed higher than that of nitrocellulose.

Waiting for the saltpeter water to be distilled over there, Yunhao found a big pot here.I got a whole pot of sugar and started to stir fry!
Yu Lao didn't know why, so he could only follow suit.The taste of fried sugar is very sweet, and the few apprentices next to it have the urge to try it out.White sugar is not easy to deal with in Chang'an.

Yun Hao turned a blind eye to these gluttons, and under the constant stir frying, the sugar was actually burnt.Burnt-tasting white sugar is no longer favored.The apprentices stood aside very disappointed, not knowing what the Duke of Chu was going to do.

"Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Let's all play together!" Seeing Yunhao's unprecedented seriousness, Yu Lao drove out these young guys, leaving only two Mohist disciples.

After frying the sugar, the saltpeter water over there is almost distilled.A pungent smell came up, and countless colorless transparent prism crystals were left in the distiller.This is the legendary potassium nitrate, which is a very good fertilizer.But now, Yunhao is more willing to make this thing into a murder weapon.

Yunhao began to experiment with the ratio of sugar and potassium nitrate, and put them into several bamboo tubes from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-].One end of the bamboo tube is sealed with mud and dried, and the other side is sealed with wax.

After the fuze was ignited, bamboo tubes rose from the ground one by one.It looks like the Diamond Monkey, but its height is far higher than that of the Diamond Monkey.How can the things used as rocket boosters in later generations be inferior to the Monkey King.

"Boy, I heard that you are going to face the Turkic army. What are you doing with these things?" Mr. Yu asked a little puzzled. Could it be that Yun Hao just wanted to make firecrackers for a long time?
"This is a good thing. Just put it in a row on a wooden shelf. If you make two iron bars as rails and install explosives in front, you can release a large number of bombs in a short time. The cavalry group is a devastating blow." When Yun Hao said this, all he could think of was the scene of Katyusha's barrage of guns.Intensive explosions can kill all creatures on the surface within the coverage area.

Although Yu Lao had never seen Katyusha, he was not lacking in imagination.Just think about how scary this thing is.Countless shells fell from the sky at the same time, followed by scattered steel balls and lead.Damn, there are still living people?
Through the experiment just now, Yunhao found that four to six, this kind of ratio can shoot the farthest.Filled with such things as five catties, it can be shot to the other side of the mountain.Those who went to look for the bamboo tube now have not been able to come back.

Now Yunhao uses two bamboo tubes, the front one is filled with nitric acid explosives.The latter part is a booster, of course to increase the lethality.Lead steel balls and other things were also added, and the pointed cone made of wood was screwed on the bamboo.A standard rocket shell was born, with a terrifying range of [-] steps, it could outshine any weapon in this era.

When the sound of a huge explosion came, the smoke in the distance had already evaporated in the air.Mr. Yu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and murmured: "If this continues, the war will develop into a contest of who can fight farther. Your weapon can reach me, but mine can't reach you. Personal bravery, will It will set the stage for war."

"No! A great man once said that the decisive factor in war is people. Soldiers' bravery, sacrificed spirit, is always the most precious thing in this world. These things are just an extension of soldiers' bravery." Yun Hao knew that even in the later generations where guns were rampant.The sacrifice spirit of soldiers is as important as the courage of iron and blood.

"I hope! I really don't know what the war will look like if it continues like this. The old man will prepare what you need in the shortest possible time. When you go out, the old man will go with you. I want to see, thousands of pieces What would happen if the bombs exploded at the same time?"
