Chapter 363 Can gunpowder be used?
There was a loud noise that shook the earth and shook the mountains.
At this moment, everyone felt that they had been hit hard by a big hammer in front of them. Players who were far away from Yangping Pass were directly blown away by this big explosion.
Before they even landed, they turned into streaks of white light and disappeared.
The players who were further away all felt dizzy. They stood up unsteadily from the ground and shook their heads vigorously, trying to wake themselves up.
When they calmed down and looked towards Yang Ping Pass, everyone was shocked.
Yangping Pass, which was originally more than 20 meters high and 30 meters thick, now had a huge gap. The gap created by the explosion was more than 50 meters wide.
At this moment, both the Hanzhong Army and the players were silent.
Including Liu Xie, who was still in Luoyang and watching all this using the system, was also silent.
"System, what was that thing just now? Explosive pack?" Liu Xie asked in a murmur.
"Host, your guess is correct. It was indeed the most primitive explosive package just now." The system still said in a calm tone.
"Wait a minute, I remember that at the beginning, when we were attacking Li Jue, some players came up with explosives. But at that time, didn't you say that weapons that cross the era are not allowed to appear? So what does this mean?"
Liu Xie suddenly thought of what happened before.
At that time, he had just arrived in the Three Kingdoms era and faced a huge threat from Li Jue and Guo Si, so he recruited players and wanted them to help him defend Luoyang.
At that time, the player's strength was very low. Facing the elite Xiliang Army, it could be said that it was extremely difficult for them to invade the Xiliang Army's camp.
Later, a player prepared his own gunpowder, and then went to blow up the camp wall of the Xiliang Army. Although he successfully blew up the camp wall, the player also received a warning.
At that time, Liu Xie also asked the system, and the answer given by the system was that for the sake of balance, players are not allowed to manufacture and produce cross-era weapons. Only after local people from the Three Kingdoms create such technology can players manufacture and use it.
.
"Host, haven't you read the brief log of players' activities? This gunpowder was discovered by local people in Han Dynasty half a year ago. Therefore, it is not considered a violation for players to use gunpowder now." The system simply said.
Liu Xie said.
"What? Gunpowder has been invented?" Liu Xie was also surprised when he heard the system say this.
How to put it, according to the normal development of things, the first person to invent gunpowder was Ge Hong during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It was only a few decades ago.
But gunpowder was used for military purposes only in the late Tang Dynasty.
But now, with the support of players, gunpowder has been released decades ahead of schedule, and has been used in military applications hundreds of years earlier.
After mankind got gunpowder, it can be said that it has entered a new era. From the original cold weapon era to the semi-hot weapon era, although from the late Tang Dynasty to modern times, in the land of China, cold weapons have always been the
Mainly weapons.
However, the proportion of gunpowder weapons has gradually and steadily increased. Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, although the Manchu and Qing Dynasties stopped using them later, they were indeed at the forefront of gunpowder weapons.
However, if there are good things but those in power don’t use them, there’s nothing they can do about it.
Having said this, Liu Xie suddenly thought of something. He asked the system in a deep voice: "Dog system, now that gunpowder is available and forging iron technology is available, can players be allowed to develop artillery and the like?
Weapons?"
When the system heard Liu Xie's words, it did not reply to Liu Xie immediately. Instead, it was silent for a moment, and then said to Liu Xie: "The principle is okay, but it is limited to gunpowder weapons before the 18th century."
When Liu Xie heard what the system said, he nodded with satisfaction.
Before the eighteenth century, this was enough. You must know that according to the historical process, before the eighteenth century, we had already entered the realm of linear tactics.
Think about it, rows of players, carrying muskets, shooting a linear battle line, advancing forward, and a group of enemies with leading weapons rush towards the opposite side, and then a row of muskets are fired at them.
Liu Xie felt excited just thinking about it.
However, he also knows that if he really wants to reach that level, he and the players still need to work hard. However, even so, with gunpowder, there is no city in the world that cannot be conquered.
Don't say anything, the city is high and the walls are thick. No matter how thick you are, how many times can you withstand the blasts aimed at the city gate? Just like what happened at Yangping Pass just now.
More than two hundred bags of explosives were packed down, and even the city wall of Yangpingguan collapsed. No matter how thick the city wall is, what can you do? At worst, I can blow it up a few times and it will be enough.
In fact, not only Liu Xie was paying attention to things like the explosive packs used, but even Jiang Yi, who was still in Dingjun Mountain, was also paying attention.
Although he did not participate in the initial battle to pacify Li Jue, he also knew that here, using weapons that spanned the ages could easily be judged by any so-called system.
Although he knew that Liu Xie was the one who was in charge here, he also understood that Liu Xie actually had limitations, and it was not that he could do whatever he wanted.
Therefore, Jiang Yi also had some concerns about using explosive packs in this way. He was afraid that the rules behind Liu Xie would not allow them to use such weapons.
However, after Jiang Yi heard the explosion, he had been worried and anxiously waiting for the results.
However, after waiting for several minutes, he heard no warning from the players who detonated the explosive packs. Even these players got a lot of points from this explosion.
Jiang Yi knew that they succeeded in this attempt.
This means that their attempt this time was allowed by the rules behind Liu Xie. This also means that they can also use the current model when they capture other cities in the future.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi felt very good.
"Brothers, the gate has been blown open! Rush in! Defeat the defenders! Occupy Yangping Pass!" Jiang Yi issued the order for a general attack on the legion channel.
When the other players heard Jiang Yi's words, they raised their weapons one by one and rushed towards the gap.
At this time, the defenders at Yangping Pass were already frightened out of their wits.
As mentioned before, Zhang Lu is the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect, and most of his soldiers are also believers of the Five Dou Rice Sect. The players used explosive packs to directly blow open the city gate, which made the soldiers of the Hanzhong Army think,
This is God's punishment for them.
