It has to be said that Liu Asi's knowledge is quite broad. He actually knows that gunpowder can be used to make elixirs.
The emergence of gunpowder was indeed invented accidentally by Taoist priests.
As we all know, although Chinese Taoist priests are indifferent in nature, they are very courageous. This cannot be tolerated.
In order to seek immortality and immortality, they dare to do anything. The elixirs are mixed with mercury, sulfur, and all kinds of heavy metals that can kill people. Not only do they dare to take the elixirs themselves, but they also dare to give them to others, and they even dare to give them away. Give it to the emperor.
As far away as Qin Shihuang and as recent as Li Shimin, they have all been harmed by Taoist elixirs. If they believed in science and did not take drugs, they would have lived at least ten or twenty years longer.
Gunpowder was accidentally invented during the process of Taoist priests refining elixirs.
There is a record in the book "Taiping Guangji" that during the Sui Dynasty, a man named Du Zichun went to visit a Taoist priest who was refining alchemy. He heard a bang in the middle of the night. The alchemy furnace exploded, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur and saltpeter. This is probably the earliest record of gunpowder.
Li Qinzai was convinced by Liu Asi's erudition, but it was inappropriate for the time.
"I'm going to let you take the No. 1 exam!" Li Qin said angrily: "Besides filling the three-eyed gun, what else can gunpowder do? Use it to explode!"
Liu Asi smiled coquettishly: "Don't blame Shuai Li. I was very smart when I followed Shuai Li. Later, after hanging out with those bastards from the special operations team for a long time, I seem to have lost my wits..."
Li Qinzai asked Buqu to bring some pieces of oil paper and half a kilogram of gunpowder. He demonstrated in front of Liu Asi how to seal the half kilogram of gunpowder tightly layer by layer with oil paper, and finally pulled out a long stick from it. lead.
A simple version of the explosive bag is completed.
"Pull the lead longer, and ignite the descendants to stay away. The power of this thing... Well, you have seen landmines anyway, right?" Li Qinzai said.
Liu Asi's expression changed and he stuttered when he spoke: "Li, Li Shuai, what is this thing... used for?"
Li Qinzai had enough time to point to the top of the canyon at the end of the mountain road and said, "You and your special operations team will make a few more explosive packets according to the method I just used and bury them in the canyon."
"After the ambush battle, if the enemy is lucky enough to escape from here, you will be our last sniper position. You will see the opportunity for the enemy to pass through and blow up the canyon. Do you understand the meaning?"
Liu Asi nodded: "I understand."
Li Qinzai smiled and said, "Go ahead. If you succeed in this battle, I will find you a sister-in-law."
Liu Asi thanked him excitedly, rubbed his hands, picked up the freshly baked explosive pack with a solemn expression, and left with as much trepidation as he was holding the ancestral tablet.
The scout's intelligence was very accurate. Two hours later, a troop of 3,000 soldiers and horses came on foot and passed through the mountain road.
Li Qinzai looked coldly at the enemy troops passing down the mountain without giving any orders.
He knew that this was the enemy's vanguard, and this group of men must be spared, otherwise he would alert the enemy.
After the enemy forward passed through, they waited for another moment before the Chinese army finally came.
Li Qinzai's eyes lit up, and he held his breath as he stared at the enemy troops walking along the mountain road. His expression was slightly nervous, and then he looked silently at Wang Fangyi beside him.
Professional matters are left to professionals. Li Qinzai has delegated power to Wang Fangyi, who will decide when to launch an ambush.
In the quiet mountain forest, a layer of mist has enveloped me at some point, and murderous intent is hidden in the mist.
Wang Fangyi stared at the enemy troops on the mountain road. After the Chinese army had passed thousands of people, Wang Fangyi finally lit a loud arrow with his own hands.
There was a sudden explosion, and the sound echoed in the valley. At the same time, countless soldiers of the Tang Army stood up from the dense forest and fired at the enemy troops on the mountain road with their three-eyed muskets.
In the first round of volleys, thousands of enemy soldiers screamed and fell down.
The enemy was caught off guard by the surprise attack. The generals had no time to react, let alone the ordinary soldiers. The entire army was in panic. The generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals. After several rounds of volleys, the enemy's structure was completely destroyed. It's messy.
When the soldiers of the Tang army slaughtered the enemy mercilessly, Wang Fangyi pointed at the enemy's rear and shouted: "Liu Renyuan, lead three thousand soldiers."
The horse made a circuitous route to the enemy's rear, cutting off their retreat! "
Liu Renyuan led the army and left in a hurry.
Wang Fangyi said again: "The teeth are always black. The bastard only cares about beating himself up, but where are the people?"
Deep in the dense forest, Black Teeth Changzhi jumped out excitedly.
Wang Fangyi glared at him and said, "You are a forward officer. Why are you joining in the fun here? Immediately lead the forward battalion to the front to cut off the enemy's path."
Hei Te Changzhi chuckled, turned around and ran away again.
Wang Fangyi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Li Qinzai, and said, "Commander Li, the front and rear are blocked. Most of the enemy troops have entered the gate of hell, and even the King of Hell cannot save them."
Li Qinzai nodded: "I will leave the command to you in wartime, I can rest assured."
Wang Fangyi was deeply moved by Li Qinzai's trust and sighed: "It would be great if the general could follow Li Shuai all his life. Following Li Shuai in battle is really a great pleasure in life."
Li Qinzai glanced at him and said calmly: "You just bullied me because I don't understand anything and I don't dare to joke with the lives of soldiers, so I can only delegate power to you, right?"
Wang Fangyi smiled and said: "What Li Shuai said is serious. No matter who is commanding, the court only recognizes Li Shuai. I am just your deputy general."
On the mountain road, the enemy army has become more and more panicked. This army is a bit strange. Judging from their fighting qualities, they are very different from the Goguryeo army Li Qinzai encountered in the past. They are obviously much weaker and inexperienced.
After observing for a long time, Li Qinzai finally came to a conclusion.
The seemingly mighty 30,000 enemy soldiers and horses should be a team of new soldiers, or in other words, they were formed by temporary recruits from the Goguryeo people. There was no time for training and actual combat, so they performed so badly after encountering an ambush.
The current situation is that Goguryeo is retreating steadily and losing cities and territory one after another. The Tang army has taken the initiative, and the troops and horses of Goguryeo that can resist the Tang army are constantly being depleted.
The regular army is becoming increasingly insufficient, and there will be more and more of these improvised armies in the future.
The country's power is over, and the weapons are gradually declining. It is so intuitive.
Li Qinzai was completely relieved about today's ambush.
There is no doubt about it.
Seeing that the enemy's casualties were almost over half, and they still could not organize an effective counterattack, the Tang army soldiers were simply massacring unilaterally, and Li Qinzai had a relaxed smile on his face.
At this moment, a scout, sweating profusely, walked through the dense forest and rushed to Li Qinzai's side.
"Shuai Li, urgent report from Wugu City!"
Li Qinzai was stunned and looked at the scout: "Say."
"Three days ago, Duke Ying, the commander-in-chief of the march in Liaodong Road, led the king's army to march out of Wugu City. The wind and sand blinded the horse, and the horse went crazy. Duke Ying was thrown off the horse, his right leg was broken, he was bleeding, and he was unconscious."
