Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the army set off from the Zhenrong Army, Chao Yong had two thousand-man troops beside him. The commanders of the thousand men were Han Shizhong and Liu Qi.

    A general must go into battle to kill the enemy in order to make achievements, and fighting the Xixia Emperor is undoubtedly a good opportunity.  Therefore, Han Shizhong immediately wanted to protect the prince and conquer the world on the grounds that he was a Tiangang star.  Liu Zhongwu also felt that the opportunity was rare and sent his most outstanding son Liu Qi to guide the way, although he already had an old manager who had been fighting in this land for decades.

    As dusk approached, the army arrived at Sanchuan Village.

    Sanchuan Village is located in the valley of Liupan Mountain, with a dangerous terrain.

    Originally, everyone thought that the Xixia soldiers and horses in Sanchuan Village should have escaped. Unexpectedly, the scouts came to report that Sanchuan Village was heavily guarded.

    Chao Yong led everyone to a small hill outside Sanchuan Village.

    The walls of Sanchuan Village are all made of huge stones, and there are still a lot of blood stains on them. Apparently, the Xixia soldiers and horses also paid a high price when they attacked a few days ago.

    Sanchuan Village can communicate with the east and west sides of Hengshan, so when Cha Ge attacked the Zhenrong Army, he immediately sent people to capture Sanchuan Village and maintain contact with Li Qianshun's army to the west of Hengshan.

    Lu Zhishen shook his head and said: "In the past, it would have been difficult to capture a stronghold like this without killing thousands of people."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Han Shizhong, take a thousand of your troops to form an array and prepare to attack the stronghold."

    "Get the order"

    Although Han Shizhong felt that his troops were a little short, he still turned around and ordered troops without hesitation.

    Soon, a thousand soldiers and horses were deployed outside the pass.

    Han Shizhong¡¯s command did not even have siege equipment, but he did not ask anyone to cut down trees nearby, but waited for the deputy army behind him to come up.

    The deputy army is responsible for all these chores in Daliang, while the main army is only responsible for fighting.  Even the transportation of grain and grass is done by the deputy army, and there is absolutely no need for civilians.

    Han Shizhong originally thought that the lieutenants had prepared siege equipment in advance, but when he saw two lieutenants pushing a strange cart down the wall of the village.  He couldn't help but rub his eyes.

    That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a trench-filling vehicle. It¡¯s protected by guards on the front, left and right, so it¡¯s not afraid of bows and arrows.

    A deputy army officer also said to Han Shizhong: "General, please retreat further and be careful of flying gravel."

    When Han Shizhong heard this, he realized that he was going to use divine thunder.

    After Han Shizhong heard that Daliang used divine thunder to defeat the Xixia people, he didn't rest at noon.  Instead, he rushed to the battlefield to see the power of the divine thunder.  There were pieces of armor that had been blown to pieces, and there were potholes of various sizes on the ground.

    There was still some smell of gunpowder on the battlefield, and anyone who had used gunpowder was familiar with it. Han Shizhong immediately guessed that Daliang had produced the powerful gunpowder.

    Han Shizhong didn¡¯t dare to be careless when he saw the huge trench-filling truck.  He hurriedly commanded his troops to retreat further.

    A group of Western troops watched in confusion as the two lieutenants pushed the trench-filling truck under the wall and then pressed it against the wall.

    The people in the car fiddled with it a few times, and the trench-filling truck was divided into two parts. The front half was left under the wall, and the back half was pulled by the two people and seemed to be running back.

    The Xixia people on the wall also laughed and watched the two men pushing the trench-filling truck approaching the wall. They were no strangers to the trench-filling truck, so they thought the Han people were crazy.

    Fan will see the trench-filling truck split into two.  The second half ran backwards as if flying, only to realize something was wrong.

    In the morning, hundreds of defeated soldiers came and said that there was a divine thunder in the beam, which could blow people to pieces.  Jin King Cha Ge was killed on the spot, and more of the defeated troops fled directly to Xi'an Prefecture, which was closer to Xixia. The defeated troops were frightened.  He also found out that Chage's army was indeed defeated.  But he didn't believe that Daliang had any divine thunder, and gave up on Sanchuanzhai's words.  The soldiers and horses of Daliang could penetrate directly behind the king's army, so they did not abandon the stronghold and left, but just reported to the king on flying horses.

    At this time, when I saw a big iron box left under the city, I believed it for a while, and immediately shouted: "Hurry and smash it open with something."

    After shouting, I saw that all the soldiers were still thinking about it, so I didn¡¯t care to say more. I picked up a stone and threw it at the trench-filling truck under the city.

    "boom"

    With a crisp sound, the wooden board inside broke, but the iron sheet covering it kept the box from cracking.  The box doesn't move either, there are brackets on the lower corners that hold the box there.

    The two lieutenants pulled the cart and ran out of the shooting range of the closed archers. They immediately dropped the cart, got out and ran back.

    As soon as the Xixia people smashed the iron box loose, they felt the ground shake, earth and rocks flying, and then they heard a loud noise.

    Standing more than a mile away, Han Shizhong could feel the vibration of the ground. He looked at the collapsed wall. He was stunned for a while, then shouted and rushed forward immediately.

    When I rushed forward, there were gravels of different sizes all over the ground, and there were no war horses.A place to put your feet down.

    Han Shizhong could only jump off his horse and rush in while stepping on the rocks.

    There was no resistance. In the small village, Xixia people were either dead or injured. Many people were shocked to the point where their mouths and noses bleed, and everyone stood there dumbly.

    Seeing Han Shizhong¡¯s troops easily enter Sanchuan Village, Zhong Shidao thought of the soldiers killed and injured over the years, shook his head and said: "If this gunpowder had come out earlier, many people would not have died, and Xixia would have been gone long ago."

    Chao Yong said shamelessly: "If it hadn't been for the dream given by Jiutian Xuannv, I'm afraid this thing wouldn't have come out."

    Zhong Shidao didn't answer the question, and instead smiled and said: "Fortunately, the prince condescended to speak to Old Minister Xiang, and the old minister also understood the situation, otherwise he would have been toasted and fined. With the help of divine thunder and gunpowder, we can dominate the world."  It must be Daliang.¡±

    Zhong Shidao is really glad that he made the right choice. Standing here and looking at the power of gunpowder, he feels frightened. If he had stood on the top of the city, he would have been shattered to pieces.

    Lu Zhishen also touched his bald head and said: "My husband said that no one can stop Daliang. The prince's future territory will definitely be wider than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."

    Chao Yong also told Lu Zhishen about returning to the secular world. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhishen refused, saying that he was used to being bald. Although he did not abstain from drinking and meat, and he did not behave like a monk by killing people and setting fires, he had given up on women and was not ready to return to the secular world.  .

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "The only emperor through the ages is my father, and the famous generals are you. People may call me the King of Kings in the future, but I will not become the emperor."

    Lu Zhishen said strangely: "The King of Kings?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "I will have many sons, and then I will give each of them a fief. Only the people in the Central Plains are emperors, and the rest are princes. Do you think I am the king of kings?"

    Hearing this, everyone couldn¡¯t help but look at Chao Yong strangely.

    Lu Zhishen stared at him and said, "Except for the Central Plains, they are all barbarian lands. In which places would the prince be willing to put your son?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Actually, the world is very big. The Central Plains is just a small area. There are many places that are no worse than the Central Plains, but the people in most places are not yet civilized. I plan to spread Han people all over the world and let people of other ethnic groups learn from it."  The transformation of our Han people.¡±

    There is another sentence that Chao Yong did not say, which is to absorb some cultures from other ethnic groups.  Nowadays, the surrounding ethnic groups are learning from the culture of the Central Plains. If the Han people were asked to learn from the culture of other ethnic groups, I am afraid everyone would sneer at it, so Chao Yong did not mention it.

    Chao Yong originally wanted to publish two books on mathematics and geometry, but found that he had forgotten many books, so he decided to collect some books from Europe, and then he compiled the book. Naturally, the title would not be given to others.
