Qu Lingxian was very happy.
They finally made the new gunpowder.
But he didn't wait too long to be happy, the general of Zhao State rushed in and said: "Priest Qu, quickly mount your horse and move forward lightly, Daliang is coming."
"What!"
Qu Lingxian stood up in shock. Daliang actually attacked them. This must be because Taoist Li had predicted that they had produced new gunpowder.
Qu Lingxian did not hesitate at all and quickly mounted his horse and retreated with the army.
This time they left in a hurry and forgot to take many things with them, but Daliang had already caught up with them. No one dared to stop, as stopping would mean death. The only way to resist Daliang's counterattack was to return to the city.
The other party arrived just in time. If they had arrived a little later, by the time their gunpowder was produced, they would have no fear of the other party.
hateful!
I hate that they are too slow. Although they have produced new ones, they have not yet been mass-produced. Now there is no chance of fighting back.
Only by returning to the city and defending it first, and waiting for the capital to be built, will they be able to resist like Daliang.
Secondly, the output of gunpowder made of iron is extremely small. Even if the enemy has produced a lot of it within this month, they may not use it in the pursuit of them.
What Qu Lingxian didn't expect was that Daliang had actually developed a new one.
Hearing the sound of gunpowder behind him, Qu Lingxian turned around in shock and saw the bamboo and wood carried by the Daliang soldiers. Something like gunpowder was ejected from the bamboo and wood. It had a range of 100. When it hit someone, the injury was like gunpowder, which made Qu Lingxian sweat. www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
How is it possible? How can bamboo and wood be made into gunpowder?
How could the other party have so many creative ideas that they could even make use of bamboo and wood? Just imagine how much energy they had put into making new gunpowder.
Qu Lingxian smiled bitterly, but his eyes were also extremely determined. It was just made of bamboo and wood. As long as he was given time, he could do it.
With the delay of Zhao's army at the cost of human lives, Qu Lingxian and others successfully returned to Wuchang City while being chased by Xiao Xuan.
This evacuation also resulted in the loss of 200,000 men in the Zhao army.
It can be said that the loss is heavy.
This time, Daliang actually set up camp ten miles outside their city. At such a distance, it seemed that they were not taken seriously at all.
Qu Lingxian watched this scene with cold eyes and hidden anger. Ten miles away, Daliang dared to set up camp ten miles away from them with the help of gunpowder. This was simply treating them as turtles in a jar. However, the other side had strong forces, so they could only swallow their anger secretly.
He had to learn all the recipes that the other party had before they broke into the city. This time, Qu Lingxian still asked the spirits, but still failed to find out the method of making the recipes. This made him no longer rely on asking the spirits.
The other party's Three Pure Ones were too powerful, and the gods they believed in were no match for the other party. If they continued to ask the gods, they would only be suppressed by the other party's Three Pure Ones. Everything was useless in front of Taoist Master Li.
As long as the other party is there, it is useless to ask the spirit.
Admitting that asking the gods for advice was useless was like stabbing Qu Lingxian in the heart, denying everything in his past and the gods they had believed in for generations. However, Qu Lingxian knew very well that asking the gods could not save the country or Dazhao.
If we want to resist the enemy, we can only rely on the craftsmen in the city.
Qu Lingxian told the craftsmen about his idea. From the bamboo and wood that could spray out gunpowder, Qu Lingxian also wondered whether they could make an iron cannon that could be ignited and spray out gunpowder just like the other side's bamboo and wood.
Something made of iron would definitely last longer than bamboo or wood, and would also be more durable, but these were all his assumptions.
However, Taoist Priest Li from Daliang also uses this method, so it must be correct.
Qu Lingxian was even more suspicious.
Bamboo and wood can already be used for beams.
Are iron cannons also being manufactured?
Thinking of this,
My heart skipped a beat.
With the fortune-telling skills of Taoist Priest Li,
It is possible that the other party already knows how to make iron cannon.
That month, not only were they making new gunpowder, but the other side was also making new one.
When this guess came out, Qu Lingxian was extremely anxious, but she had to pretend that everything was under control. She could not let others know that the Daliang iron cannon was being manufactured, otherwise, Wuchang City would not be able to hold on.
Surrender without a fight.
Knowing the danger, Qu Lingxian worked tirelessly with the craftsmen to study. At this time, the general of Zhao State came and said, "Priest, please ask what Daliang's plan is?"
General Zhao had a worried look on his face. He hadn't had a good night's sleep since he set up camp ten miles away from Daliang.
With the gunpowder the other side has, if they relax, they will be attacked by the other side.
After Qu Lingxian knew the other party's intention, she wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say a word because her throat was choked.
He could figure out Daliang's intentions, but using the power of the spirit to deal with Daliang...
Originally, Qu Lingxian just wanted to borrow manpower, but he also knew that Wen Ling had the same status in Zhaoguo as Sanqing in Daliang. He could choose not to ask for help, but when others came to him for help, especially at such an important moment, he could not refuse.
Even he didn't believe that asking the spirits could be better than the Sanqing Divination.
How could the rest of the people believe in asking spirits? Their faith would be shattered, and the fate of Yue State would be the same as that of his Zhao State.
The interests involved cannot be explained in a few words.
Therefore, Qu Lingxian did not refuse. He returned to the house and began to ask the spirit about Daliang's plan.
This calculation frightened him so much that he dropped the peach branch in his hand.
Daliang was actually waiting for the artillery to arrive, and once the artillery arrived, he would attack the city.
Qu Lingxian gritted his teeth, his eyes red, and asked again how many days it would take for the other party to attack the city.
The calculated result made Qu Lingxian despair. It was actually five days later. Doesn't this mean that Daliang had already manufactured cannons, and they were even made of iron?
The other party didn't use it last time, so it must be inconvenient to carry. I don't know what kind of weapon it is and what kind of damage it has.
Qu Lingxian sat there quietly, the warm sunshine outside the window shone on his body, but could not warm his heart.
The moment he knew the result, he wished that his calculation was wrong!
Five days!
In just five days!
What can they do and how can they turn the tide?
How is this different from asking the spirit for backlash?
In the end, Qu Lingxian informed the general of the news and asked him to be prepared.
When the Zhao general learned that Daliang would attack in five days, his face became solemn, he nodded, and said nothing more.
On the other hand, Li Le only had the cannons delivered to Xiao Xuan, and he also sent the method of making the bamboo musket to Liangzhou.
The Snow Country had not received any news that Daliang had gunpowder, nor did they know the formula for gunpowder. Even if they had seen Daliang's gunpowder with their own eyes, they would not have been able to make it.
The Third Prince has led his troops to capture five cities with great momentum. This time, with the help of bamboo muskets, the battle with the Snow Country will go smoothly and no one can stop them.
Li Lezhi also knew that there was no need to worry about the Snow Country. Only on the Zhao Country side, Prince Yin and Qu Lingxian were the most difficult people to deal with.
We can't relax at all.
Now that we have artillery, there is no need to worry about Xiao Xuan.
Just as Li Lezhi thought, after Xiao Xuan got the cannon, Zhao State had no way to stop the cannon attack.
Under the siege of artillery, huge rocks flew out and hit the city walls with great impact force. It did not require too much artillery fire. The walls of Wuchang City were broken and there was no way to stop the beams.
This time when the city was broken, Xiao Xuan drew his bow and pointed an arrow directly at Qu Lingxian.
