After Wang Yanzhang surrendered to Jiang Fan, he was highly valued by Jiang Fan, who not only gave him an important position in the army, but also allowed him to command the old army.
He just changed from General Liang to General of Tang Dynasty.
Being able to receive such treatment as a reduced general, Wang Yanzhang was grateful for Jiang Fan's kindness and pledged his loyalty to the death.
In addition to the tiger general Wang Yanzhang, Jiang Fan also received the invincible artillery of Daliang Shenwei.
The Daliang Shenwei Invincible General Artillery is huge in size, very majestic and gorgeous, and can be called a strategic weapon.
Its whole body exudes metallic luster, and the golden faucet barrel made of fine copper is polished to a bright yellow color.
It played a huge role throughout the war.
Especially when attacking a city, this kind of giant cannon cannot be underestimated.
Because this is a long-range strike weapon, it plays a vital role in city wall defense and siege.
In the original plot, Wang Yanzhang attacked Fengxiang City and was unable to capture the Jiutian Holy Lady. When the two armies were in a stalemate, Zhu Yougui directly ordered the powerful and invincible general to launch a cannon attack.
With one cannonball, almost all the soldiers on the battlefield were wiped out except Jiutian Shengji and Wang Yanzhang. The damage range was several miles, and its power was comparable to that of a missile.
The power of one cannon is enough to destroy a city.
Even if a bad guy comes, he doesn't dare to resist.
It can be said that the mighty and invincible general is the real weapon in the world. It doesn’t matter how many soldiers and horses the enemy has, if one shell cannot annihilate them all, then the second shot, the third shot...
Conquer the city and capture the territory, and everything is invincible.
In addition to the disadvantages of high cost and inconvenience of movement, it is simply invincible.
In comparison, the bad handsome man's attempt to use the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters to save the Tang Dynasty seems a bit outdated.
According to legend, the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters is a sharp weapon in the world, and if you get it, you can conquer the world.
But in Jiang Fan's view, although the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters is powerful, it has huge flaws. It requires the ancient method of Twelve Dongs to combine the two arts of poison and insects, and then use the poison to make medicine, and then soak people in the jar to strengthen their muscles and bones, and finally use
Pest Controller.
By that time, everyone in the altar will be able to fight against the monsters one by one without any pain or exhaustion. If used on the battlefield, they will be invincible.
But after all, the monsters in the altar of soldiers, gods and monsters are all made of flesh and blood and cannot withstand cannonballs.
It's just a matter of one shot for the mighty and invincible general to deal with the altar of gods and monsters.
If one shot can't solve it, then try another shot.
The altar of soldiers, gods and monsters also requires the skills of insects and poisons, as well as living people, and it takes a long time to cultivate, which is thankless and will damage the moral character.
The mighty and invincible general only needs cannonball materials, and its efficiency is much higher than that of the Weapon God and Monster Altar.
In the final analysis, bad handsome ideas are not avant-garde enough.
All fear comes from insufficient firepower. As long as there are more cannons, there is no problem that cannot be solved.
Put the mighty and invincible general on the city wall, and it will be a deterrent weapon. Even if you have thousands of troops, you will not dare to attack the city easily.
Moreover, Jiang Fan has a pouch, and he can carry it with him as long as he wants. If the feudal town doesn't like it, or if the rebel king dares to provoke him, Jiang Fan can definitely give him a slap in the face.
Just ask the world, who dares to compete!
...
Taiyuan, Jin Palace.
When he learned that Zhu Youzhen had been assassinated and Wang Yanzhang had defected to Jiang Fan, Li Ke, who originally planned to reap the benefits, crushed the chess piece in his hand to pieces and almost jumped out of his wheelchair and cursed his mother.
"Waste, what a waste!"
Sun Quan could give away 100,000 people in Hefei more quickly than Zhu Youzhen could.
At present, the rise of the Tang Dynasty has become unstoppable. Even though Li Keyong was unwilling to do so, he had to restrain his temper and began to convene the adopted sons of Tongwen Hall to discuss countermeasures.
Other vassal towns were also worried, tossing and turning, and had trouble sleeping!
As the day of Jiang Fan's accession to the throne approaches, the world is turbulent.
In various vassal towns, anti-king thoughts varied.
Asking them to hand over their power obediently would be more uncomfortable than killing them.
However, under the pressure of the bad commander, they all started to march towards Luoyang, the eastern capital, to show their loyalty.
Most of these people did not sincerely submit to the Tang Dynasty. Jiang Fan had always known this.
He had no intention of trusting these idiots from the beginning. All he could trust was his own strength.
Gu Qing
During this period, Jiang Fan was not idle.
Jiang Fan handed over Ming Dynasty firearms, blueprints, and manufacturing methods of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow to Yuan Tiangang, asking him to order skilled craftsmen to make them.
Only when these weapons are integrated into the Tang army can they truly conquer the world. No one dares to disobey them.
In addition, Jiang Fan recovered Li Xingyun's Longquan Sword, drained some of Li Xingyun's blood, deprived Li Xingyun of his surname Li, removed his name from the royal family tree, abolished his martial arts, and threw him out of the city, leaving him to fend for himself.
How can it be such a good thing to enjoy the benefits of the Tang Dynasty Li family while not wanting to take responsibility?
In fact, it is okay to release Li Xingyun's blood, but in Jiang Fan's opinion, Li Xingyun's value is only this, so if his blood is not released, whose blood will be spared?
As for the location of the Longquan treasure, Jiang Fan has long known it.
The dragon hangs on the horizon, and loyal eyes can distinguish it. In ancient times, crossing the southeast bank, it is like marrying or gardening. There are no ordinary things in the world. It is a mirror that straightens one's clothes and crown.
The Longquan treasure is hidden in the land of Sanjin, the hometown of Yunchang - Jie Liang.
The land of salt marsh is the entrance to Longquan treasure.
I haven't gone there before, mainly because I wanted to find out the details of the major forces in the bad handsome world and complete the main mission.
It was still some time before he ascended the throne, and he also needed money to circulate. Only then did Jiang Fan think of the Longquan treasure.
Now that the world's attention is all on Luoyang, Jiang Fan just takes this opportunity to go to Jieliang to collect the Longquan treasure for emergency relief.
Being an emperor is not that easy. In addition to personal ability, being able to draw big pie, knowing people and making good use of them, you also need to have money.
In Jiang Fan's view, being an emperor is actually similar to being a boss. If you want your subordinates to work hard for you, you have to pay them wages on time.
If you can only shout blessings every day, who will follow you and drink the northwest wind?
In order to avoid trouble, Jiang Fan asked Nu Qingji to use his ever-changing gaiba egg to look like a substitute Li Shimin and work for one day.
Jiang Fan went to Liang with his sword.
The huge salt lake, with large and small water surfaces like mirrors, spans between heaven and earth, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Fan calculated the direction, took out the Longquan Sword from his bag, and inserted it into the salt lake.
The Longquan Sword emitted a golden light, and the ground began to shake, with cracks appearing.
After a while, the shaking stopped, and a few meters in front of Jiang Fan, a coffin engraved with the battle of the deer was slowly revealed. At first glance, it was made by a skilled craftsman.
In fact, Jiang Fan could have used Long You to sneak into the treasure room, but there was a ready-made door, so why should he bother to escape.
Sprinkling Li Xingyun's blood on the coffin, the huge coffin began to shine. Jiang Fan pressed the Longquan Sword on the groove of the coffin and activated the mechanism.
"Click~"
The mechanism of the coffin opened, revealing a deep passage.
Jiang Fan was not in a hurry. He waited for the wind to clear for a while, then calmly took off the Longquan Sword and entered the underground palace.
Passing through the long and narrow aisle, a magnificent underground palace comes into view.
The underground palace is majestic and brilliant, surrounded by densely packed dragon stone pillars. The pillars support the huge dome. The surrounding ten thousand year candles burn when heated, illuminating the underground space.
In front of the main hall were two huge bronze doors. When Jiang Fan walked to the door, the door slowly opened to both sides as if there was a sensor.
"It's quite advanced. Datang actually has a sensor door. The technology is pretty good."
Jiang Fan sighed in admiration, walked into the main hall, turned on a mechanism, and the torches around the walls of the main hall were instantly lit.
Around you can see many withered bones kneeling towards the dragon chair.
These people were the bad guys who built the Longquan Treasure. In order to protect the secret of the Longquan Treasure, they were all buried here!
To be fair, Jiang Fan felt that there was definitely something wrong with Zhaozong Li Ye's mind.
Among the Longquan treasures are countless gold and jewelry, as well as many martial arts secrets collected during the great Tang Dynasty.
Sitting on the golden mountain, Li Ye did not spend money to recruit troops and suppress the rebellion.
Instead, they spent a lot of effort, manpower, material resources and time to build a huge underground palace and let many loyal and bad people be buried here.
The reason is to give his son Li Xingyun the capital to make a comeback.
In the end, Li Xingyun didn't want to be the emperor, so he killed the bad commander who had been loyal to the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years.
I wonder if these dead loyal men still have spirits in heaven and will they cry?
It can only be said that the Li family and his son are really good at playing. Such suffocating operations are beyond the imagination of normal people!
