The two horses came forward slowly. Brother Yelushan narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the Song people's convoy, which was facing danger, and nodded... The entourage next to him shouted: "Where is Song Zhizhai?"
The swordsmen, shield soldiers and crossbowmen blocking the gap moved to both sides, and Song Wen led Daruch on horseback and rode straight towards Brother Yelushan.
Song Wen clasped his fists on the horse and said, "I've seen Mr. Hou!"
Brother Yelushan nodded and cupped his hands and replied: "Brother Wen is so brave. He didn't panic when he saw the cavalry in the Liao Kingdom. I'm very curious... The fire just now was lit by soju, but what on earth was that making the loud noise?
thing?"
At this time, two of the Khitan cavalry who were retreating came running towards them. The centurion leading the team caressed his chest and saluted him, and then said a few Khitan words to Brother Yelushan.
Brother Yelushan turned his head and took a closer look, and saw the cavalryman who had followed the centurion pointing at his horse. The horse was a little restless, and the side of its neck was still bleeding! In addition, there was a knife deeply inserted next to the saddle bridge.
A triangular piece of iron looks very sharp!
When they exploded, the three gunpowder bombs were four to five feet away from the Khitan cavalry! This is why Song Wen just wanted to warn the other party. If they were allowed to advance another five feet... the fragments from the explosion of the gunpowder bombs would kill and injure them all!
Brother Yelushan suddenly frowned, turned over and dismounted, looked at the iron piece, turned around and asked: "It's true that people in the Song Dynasty are accustomed to using firearms, but when did they have such an explosive and hurtful thing? But the imperial army of the Song Dynasty
Newly made by the utensil factory?"
Song Wen shook his head... "This is the unique thunder in my Qingshan Village! The imperial court has not equipped it..."
hiss……
Brother Yelushan looked at Song Wen carefully: "Is there any more? Can you let me take a closer look?"
Now that he has taken it out, Song Wen has no intention of hiding anything... He has a lot of enthusiasm for such extremely primitive things...
This thing is simple to make, and it is easy to be imitated once it appears. But the most important thing is the proportion of gunpowder and the amount of charge. The other is the standardized manufacturing of the ceramic shell and the proportion of doped iron sheets. There are countless repetitions in this.
The dedication of the experiment! Song Wen spared no effort in the entire research and development process... tens of thousands of taels of money were spent on it!
In addition, this kind of hand grenade is the most primitive. The back mountain of Qingshan Village is already developing a new weapon with phosphorus powder to pull the fire! Only grenades that can pull the fire independently to trigger the explosion have real practical significance. This kind has been eliminated.
s things……
Daruch next to him said nothing and gently took out a huge gunpowder bomb from the cowhide bag next to him. Several people around Brother Yelushan immediately became alert, with their knives drawn out and nervously surrounding Brother Yelushan.
beside.
Brother Yelushan pushed away the guard and scolded: "The Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty are countries of brothers, and Brother Wen and I have been friends for a long time. What are you doing? Get out of the way!"
Old fox...
Song Wen chuckled, took the gunpowder bomb and said to Brother Yelushan: "This thing is not dangerous without igniting materials. Little Marquis, don't worry!"
Brother Yelushan looked at Song Wen's expression with a complicated expression, and sighed: "Song people are really smart, they can make such firearms! Is this Brother Wen's confidence to stay calm in times of crisis?"
Song Wen smiled and said: "My confidence is my friendship with the young Marquis. This is Daliao! How can the most exquisite firearms be inferior to the blades of the Khitan cavalry? Hahaha..."
Several Khitan cavalrymen nearby immediately felt that they had gained face, and their waists became much straighter.
Brother Yelushan said: "The war in the north is raging, and the imperial court has dispatched a lot of cavalry to go north to Zhongjing City... So the border has been uneasy recently, so I specially brought these people here to greet them. Brother Wen doesn't need to worry about it."
Are you really greeting me? Is it true that you are threatening me with force and giving me a blow?
Song Wen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Marquis, for your care. I will keep it in my heart!"
"In that case, would you like to follow me to Nanjing City to settle down? This time the goods will definitely be sold at a good price."
"Little Marquis, I can trust you regarding the transaction, but I want to borrow a road to go to the grassland..."
Brother Yelushan nodded: "Don't worry, in a few days a group of my father's troops will go to the grassland to conquer horses... Some Mongolian tribes also need to be beaten. Then you and Centurion Xiao Teng will go together.
Just go!”
Song Wen was stunned for a moment. He went to the grassland with the Khitans, so what was the point of going by himself?
Brother Yelushan said to Song Wen meaningfully: "Brother Wen needs war horses, just tell me. The Mongols on the grassland are barbaric and fierce. They only recognize fists and knives. They are not easy to deal with..."
Song Wen nodded, and the two exchanged a few words. Daruchi raised his hand and presented the gunpowder bomb to the guard beside Brother Yelushan. The guard carefully held the terrifying thing in his arms and his body was as tight as a stone.
Same.
"The killing range of this thing is three to five feet. Please be careful, little Marquis! Keep away from fire. After opening the wooden handle, you can pull out the medicinal thread inside. After lighting, the medicinal thread burns into the wooden handle and is thrown out immediately.
!It will explode after five breaths..."
Brother Yelushan nodded with satisfaction and returned to the cavalry with a few Khitans.
After Song Wen returned, he contacted the alarm and everyone packed up the convoy, and soon they were ready to set off. The Khitans were in front, Song Wen and others were behind, and the group went straight to the north in silence.
Suddenly, a horse drove up from far south. The knight on the horse looked around for a long time, and then scolded a figure running behind him: "It's all your fault! You ran so slowly that I didn't catch Brother Wen!"
"
The bearded Taoist boy Mingyue was out of breath at this time. She plopped down on the ground and cursed: "Crazy girl... crazy... girl... Song Langjun asked me to stay in Hejian Mansion to protect you. It's you.
You have to follow me secretly and still accuse me unjustly?"
The big-eyed lady puffed up her cheeks and said, "Isn't it because you don't know how to ride a horse? Otherwise we would have caught up with you long ago. Song Wen is so unreasonable, he left me and went to the grassland to play by himself..."
"Auntie, this is the Liao Kingdom! They have to go northwest into the grassland... How dangerous will it be along the way?"
"You're such a big man, I don't think you're afraid of death! You're so stupid..."
"Bah! Don't slander me. My senior brother told me to protect Mr. Song's safety. Listen to him!"
"Then you squat in the Song Dynasty and let Song Wen go to Liao Kingdom alone to adventure on the grassland...how to protect him?"
Mingyue was stunned for a moment... "That seems to be the truth!"
The big-eyed lady said proudly: "You see, this is the truth, right? Let's catch up quickly. Someone was setting off firecrackers here just now. It must be the gunpowder bombs brought by Brother Wen... Maybe they are already in danger.
Let’s go rescue him now!”
Although Taoist boy Mingyue is straightforward and a little stupid, he is definitely not a fool... Hearing this, he frowned and said: "There are dozens of them and they also have gunpowder bullets and crossbows. If they can't defeat us, will they die?"
"You also said that you are not afraid of death! You are just afraid of death. Wouldn't you save Brother Wen and let him ride a horse with me to escape first? Then you can stay and break up with An Chun and those people!"
"That's the truth...then what should we do?"
The little girl waved the riding whip regardless... "You guys are good at martial arts, just kill them and escape back!"
Mingyue got up and ran after the horse while muttering: "It's so unconscionable... He actually asked us to die. Master is right, women's hearts are the most poisonous..."
