But no matter how difficult it is, they have to do it.
Unfortunately, this matter is not so easy to resolve.
The enemy used rain of arrows to extend the range. They wanted to use brute force, such as catapults, but it didn't work. Not to mention whether they could break through the enemy's defense line, what use would it be even if they reached the foot of the city wall?
It would be easy to deal with them as long as the other party throws down gunpowder.
Unless, they have other ways, such as throwing gunpowder from the sky, so as to break through Yuzhou’s defense line and make it impossible for the other side to stop.
What’s frustrating is that it’s impossible to make a weapon that can drop gunpowder from the sky, just like a disobedient bird.
Little bird?
Qu Lingxian pondered for a moment. In the past, there were carrier pigeons that delivered letters. If they could train one or two, they could let the carrier pigeons drop the gunpowder...
After thinking about it, Qu Lingxian gave up. Although this method could allow gunpowder to be thrown from the sky, it would bring with it various problems.
The time required to train homing pigeons and to be able to deliver them accurately is not a day or two, it will take at least half a year, which is too long. In addition, the training is done with gunpowder, so the homing pigeons need to be able to fly a certain distance, and the time it takes for the fuse to burn must also be calculated.
That's all.
To solve these problems, we also need to consider that the Liang people are not fools and will not let the pigeons fly over. As long as there are skilled shooters in the army who can shoot the pigeons down one by one.
Then the fact that they spent more than half a year training homing pigeons is a joke.
Besides, if we give Taoist Li another half year, who knows whether he will figure out something new? Maybe while they are still training carrier pigeons, they will have been beaten to the capital by the Liang people.
Unless there is something that can fly, drop gunpowder, and not be pierced by arrows, and if the gunpowder can only be dropped once, this thing cannot be expensive.
After thinking about it for a long time, Qu Lingxian still couldn't figure out how to make this thing.
The shape can be designed into a bird shape, and if you don't want it to be pierced by arrows, you can also use iron. However, it is very difficult to make such a thing fly and also be able to drop gunpowder.
Qu Lingxian asked Ling but couldn't get any information.
He had no choice but to write down his idea and wait for a chance to show it to His Majesty. This was the only way to capture Yuzhou City.
If this thing is really made, no one can stop it.
When General Zhao saw Qu Lingxian suddenly writing and drawing on paper, he took a look. Although he didn't understand, he could recognize a few words.
He praised: "The priest's method is really wonderful. If this thing can be made, there will be no country in the world that can stop our Zhao Kingdom army."
"If one day, this thing is made, and it can not only hold gunpowder, but also hold people, wouldn't everyone in our Zhao country be like a god?"
Qu Lingxian smiled, but was surprised by these words. She looked at the other party in surprise. If it could really succeed, it might not be impossible to reach that step.
What followed terrified Qu Lingxian.
What he could think of, the other party might also be able to think of, so why didn't the other party make this thing - it must be because this thing is already beyond this era.
The divine means to carry people to heaven are not something they can create at this stage.
Qu Lingxian looked down at what he had written and frowned in worry. Even though he knew that this thing could not be manufactured and only existed in his imagination, he was unwilling to give up.
most……
Even after death, he must be taken into the tomb so that those who come after him can see that he is no worse than them!
Li Lezhi didn't know that because of the failure of this battle, Qu Lingxian had already thought of building airplanes for airdrops.
He is still discussing with the people in Yuzhou City the possibility of improving the artillery shells and converting the catapults into artillery.
The beam needs iron and gunpowder, so it is not difficult to make it. The only difficult part is mass production and the problem of barrel explosion.
But I can’t care so much now.
The mass production issue is easy to solve. All he needs to do is make a model and then make a cast. He can also calculate what is needed.
This is not a difficult task.
This also led to the development of artillery in Yuzhou City becoming very active, and many people came to visit and learn and watch the excitement.
Xiao Xuan was also very curious. They also used models to make arrowheads, but he didn't expect that this new weapon, artillery, could also use a model.
It's also different from the method of making arrows.
However, Xiao Xuan did not stay for long. He just took a look or two to see the excitement, then immediately returned to the mansion to discuss with others and prepare for a night attack on Zhao's army.
Because of the appearance of the black bullet, everyone was very interested in this night attack and wanted to participate in it. One after another, they started vying for it, but were eventually suppressed by Xiao Xuan, who asked everyone to draw lots and asked a Taoist priest in Yuzhou to come and calculate for them.
See if it is suitable.
Through these two stages, the most suitable talents are selected.
After the draw, the Taoist priest told him that his horoscope was not suitable. He almost rolled up his sleeves to let the other party see what it meant to have incompatible horoscopes. When he looked at himself, he found that he was obviously the most suitable.
But before he could question it, he was suppressed by others, who said that since he couldn't pass the second level, it showed that his luck was not good today and it was not suitable for him to travel.
The man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but in the end he could only suppress his desire to go and stared at the person who was drawn.
After gathering all the men, Xiao Xuan led them to attack Zhao camp under the cover of darkness. This would have been impossible in the past, as the river separated the Zhao army and also separated them.
That’s why this has never been done before, without gunpowder, it’s not worth chasing after the past.
But now they have gunpowder and Taoist Li's divination, which tells them exactly when they should cross the river and when they should take action.
He even calculated how many people were on duty tonight, when the shifts would change, and where the scouts were hiding.
It was another auspicious day, and even God was on their side.
Therefore, there will be no accidents in their actions.
At midnight, Xiao Xuan led his men across the river. Just as the Taoist priest had predicted, they were not discovered by Zhao's army. They hid in the mountains on both sides of Zhao's camp, eliminated the scouts hidden among them, and then lay there quietly waiting for the best opportunity.
At three o'clock in the morning, it was late at night and everyone was asleep, only the sound of insects could be heard. All the Zhao troops on duty had relaxed a bit. Xiao Xuan had very good eyesight and had seen that some of them had begun to doze off.
They waited for another quarter of an hour, and when the time Taoist Li said came, they did not hold back and threw all the black bullets they had brought into the Zhao army camp. If they could not throw them, they would shoot them with arrows.
Hundreds of black bombs exploded everywhere in the Zhao army camp. Xiao Xuan did not stop at all. After he had thrown all the black bombs, he slowly retreated with his men.
A shocking sound rang out in the camp. Qu Lingxian looked outside and was startled. He was not mistaken about the sound of gunpowder, but this sound seemed a little wrong. It was louder than the last time he heard it.
Hearing the wailing outside and the explosions right next to her ears, Qu Lingxian did not panic, but asked Ling how to save her own life.
After being ordered not to move, Qu Lingxian did not walk around. He waited until the noise outside stopped before he got up and walked out. What he saw was devastation everywhere. Not a single place was intact. There were bodies scattered everywhere. Many people were dead, and the rest were all injured to varying degrees.
General Zhao came over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qu Lingxian was fine. Then he looked at the surrounding situation and his rugged face was filled with sadness, confusion and helplessness. Anyone could see what caused this disaster.
Heartbroken, I want to find out who leaked the gunpowder!
General Zhao Guo noticed the fragments on the ground with his sharp eyes. He took two unsteady steps forward and picked up the fragments.
He could still smell the residual smell of gunpowder. He looked at the fragments in front of him and after identifying them, he realized that they were iron sheets. This was unbelievable for him. He looked at the devastation and was speechless for a moment.
Finally, he stood beside Qu Lingxian and said, "Liang State is so lucky that such a person would appear."
Not only can they calculate the gunpowder of their Zhao Kingdom, but they can also take the gunpowder a step further and combine iron sheets and gunpowder to create greater power.
If there are such people, and they create a bird that can carry things, can they really surpass others? Will they not be learned by others again?
In the past, General Zhao was not afraid of such a thing happening. How could a son learn from his father and immediately surpass his father?
But the situation in Daliang was completely different. With the presence of that Taoist priest, he single-handedly bridged such a huge gap.
Priest Qu is very skilled, but the opponent's skills are even better than Priest Qu's. Heaven is unfair. If Heaven had sent Priest Qu to Zhao, why would Heaven have sent Taoist Priest Li to Liang?
General Zhaoguo placed the iron sheet in his hand into Qu Lingxian's hand and said weakly, "Master Priest, Daliang has already used iron for gunpowder. The other party is already ahead of us. How can we break this situation?"
Qu Lingxian looked at the small piece of iron in her palm and the shocking scene in front of her, and was silent for a moment.
He knew better than anyone that gunpowder was Daliang, which was calculated by Taoist Li.
The other party had always been ahead of them, and now, the other party had developed something new. His previous joy turned to ashes at this moment.
What kind of monster have they created?
Qu Lingxian didn't dare to think further, nor did she dare to calculate further. She even wanted to give up.
Every time they learn something, the other side will gain another point.
He didn't know what the situation would be like in the end. The current situation had already scared him. What would happen in the future would be an unprecedented road.
And the birth of all of this will be built on their Dazhao as the foundation.
Qu Lingxian was unable to make a decision. He felt confused for the first time. He slowly closed his palms, grasped the iron sheet and said, "General, do you still have the courage to fight Daliang?"
silence.
It was silent. All I could hear were the cries of pain and the sound of the military doctor walking back and forth.
General Zhaoguo took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "I won't lie to the priest. I'm scared. I don't dare to do it. But I dare not. I'm scared. What can I do?"
"Your Majesty has the ambition to unify the world and will never yield to others. We are not people who sell out our masters for glory. Zhaoguo is our hometown. People without a hometown are like rootless duckweed in this world. Rather than living in disgrace, I would rather die on the battlefield, live up to the late emperor and live up to Your Majesty!"
"Okay," Qu Lingxian also became firm. He said, "General, future battles will not be as easy as before. This is an epoch-making war, and it will be built on the blood and flesh of Zhao State. I will report this matter to His Majesty, and please make the decision!"
But no matter how difficult it is, they have to do it.
Unfortunately, this matter is not so easy to resolve.
The enemy used rain of arrows to extend the range. They wanted to use brute force, such as catapults, but it didn't work. Not to mention whether they could break through the enemy's defense line, what use would it be even if they reached the foot of the city wall?
