With Qin Ke's explanation, everyone finally understood the principle and function of artillery. Everyone's eyes were opened to this, and they also understood why Luo Zhang didn't say anything.
If such a powerful thing is known to too many people, it will no longer be a secret. Once it reaches Su Wen Gaiyuan's ears, it will naturally not have any unexpected effect.
Unexpectedly, after a few rounds of artillery today, Su Wengaiyuan retreated. This was the effect of surprise.
Everyone looked at Luo Zhang a little differently again. Luo Zhang was the one who researched the wood lumps, and now they have a more powerful artillery. This is simply the enemy's nightmare. Once the artillery is released, they can't even run away.
At this time, Luo Zhang spoke again: "Although artillery is good, it also has its shortcomings, that is, it is too bulky and moves too slowly. If you want it to be effective, you must move it to the designated place long in advance, otherwise the enemy will rush in." Come on, your artillery hasn't been placed yet, so it's useless."
"Just like these days, do you think I really go hunting or sightseeing? I just went to check the terrain in advance to see where it is suitable to place artillery." Luo Zhang shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn't want these people to be too dependent. Artillery, if this is the case, how will we fight this battle in the future?
After all, this is the age of cold weapons, which is still dominated by people. What he said is also true. The artillery weighs seven or eight tons. Even if Luo Zhang found a way to set up four wheels to transport it, it would still be very troublesome.
After hearing Luo Zhang's words, everyone smiled bitterly. They had complained about Luo Zhang a lot in the past few days. They felt that he was not doing his job properly and only went hunting all day long. Who knew that Luo Zhang was going to check the terrain? After learning this news, everyone was inevitably a little embarrassed. , one after another apologized to Luo Zhang.
"You didn't do it on purpose. I didn't tell you. It's okay if you think so. Don't take it too seriously!" Luo Zhang waved his hand to stop everyone from apologizing.
"Today we won't get drunk and won't go home to celebrate our victory. What do you think?"
"Li Shuai is coming tomorrow, and I won't be able to drink by then!" Cheng Yaojin said with a hint of bitterness. Obviously, not being able to drink made him very painful, but Li Jing didn't care about this, and he was the only one who could deal with it. Cheng Yaojin’s people.
Luo Zhang and the others looked at me and I looked at you. They were quite speechless to Cheng Yaojin. They would use any reason to drink.
Almost everyone stood up and walked out. No one paid any attention to Cheng Yaojin. This Su Wen Gaiyuan just retreated, not retreated. Who knows when the enemy will attack. It's a shame for him to drink at this time. I can think of it.
Of course, more importantly, more than 40% of the soldiers are still lying down. With so many people missing, we cannot slack off. We also need to find out who committed this murder. If there is no artillery help today, Jian'an City will be breached. Well, if Jian'an City is destroyed, how many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will die. How can this debt be settled so easily?
While Luo Zhang and others were investigating the poisoning of the soldiers, Su Wen Gaiyuan was also very busy. He sent a large number of people to find out what happened today, and even sneaked to Chang'an to see if he could find out what happened today. The truth is that today's battle was too bitter and miserable. They were beaten back even before they could even get close to the city wall. More than 10,000 people were killed and injured. No matter how much I thought about it, I felt so depressed that I was going to die.
It is not Su Wen Gaiyuan's character to just let this matter go. Once he finds out what is going on, Su Wen Gaiyuan will definitely make people pay for it with blood!
Just after Su Wen Gaiyuan gave the order, Mozi's people came to Su Wen Gaiyuan's camp again and sat down.
Looking at the furious Su Wen Gaiyuan, Mozi showed no expression, but made himself a cup of tea and drank it.
Su Wen Gaiyuan glanced at Mozi's people and hummed: "Don't you say it's foolproof? Is this what you Mozi calls foolproof?"
The people of Mozi put down their teacups and said: "Master Su, your words are biased. The task you gave us was to make the soldiers in the city unable to resist, and we did what you said. After the soldiers The water you drank was poisoned. No, during the war, half of the Tang army could not participate in the battle. Just like this, you all failed to capture Jian'an. How can you blame me?"
"It doesn't matter who you blame, what I want is to capture Jian'an, not just immobilize half of the Tang army!" Su Wen Gaiyuan said coldly.
"Sir Su Wen, you are a bit unreasonable. We are not your subordinates, let alone your army. We only accept tasks, and the task is just to make the Tang soldiers unable to resist. Now that we have done it, the rest is Your problem has nothing to do with us, Mozi." The Mozi people responded unceremoniously.
"Are you saying that my command was inappropriate?" Su Wen Gaiyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Mo Zi.
"Then Mr. Su doesn't want to give you the remaining money?" Mozi asked in the same tone.
