Chapter 122 Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry
At night, thick clouds covered the bright moon.
A strong wind carrying a chill swept across Yunhuai City. Outside the county government office, two figures jumped off their horses and walked straight towards the mansion.
When bandits invade, apart from the troops defending the city, the busiest person must be Yan Jiong. He must not only provide rear protection, but also meet the needs of the front line in a timely manner.
At this time, the lights in the county government office were brightly lit, and there were far fewer officials than usual, but everyone was busy with their own affairs.
Tang Ji followed the official into the lobby of the county government office. He saw Yan Jiong sitting on a chair on the side, squeezing his eyebrows. He looked a little tired. He slowed down, raised his hands and bowed, "Master Yan."
Hearing the sound, Yan Jiong suddenly raised his head: "Brother Tang, why are you here? Could it be that the city gate has been lost?"
As he spoke, his face showed panic and nervousness.
Tang Jidian smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous, and asked: "Where are the people in the county government?"
Yan Jiong exhaled and sat down again: "We have been sent to defend the city. Brother Tang, what do you want from me?"
Tang Ji nodded slightly. Although this guy was a bit greedy for money, he was also a good official with a strong sense of responsibility. Without any more ink marks, he took out a piece of rice paper from his sleeve and handed it over: "Help me collect the materials above, the more the better!
"
After Yan Jiong took it, he quickly browsed it.
"Sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal... Brother Tang, why are you looking for these things? The top priority is to find a way to deal with the bandits!" After saying this, he was about to return the rice paper in his hand.
Tang Ji put the list of materials for making black powder back into his hand and said seriously: "These things are used to deal with bandits!"
Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Yan Jiong hesitated and finally agreed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yan, I won't make fun of you at this time. The speed must be fast. We don't have much time." Tang Ji reached out and patted the other party's shoulder.
Yan Jiong nodded slightly, then turned and walked out of the lobby, summoning the remaining officials in the county government.
At the same time, on the official road in the northern part of Lei County, a team was marching slowly, the sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of horse hooves, making it sound a bit noisy.
In the carriage, Li Yu lay lazily on his seat, squinting out of the window, his thoughts wandering to nowhere.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind the team.
Su Ling's ears trembled slightly, and she quickly judged that there was only one fast horse, and waved her hand to signal the team to stop.
Soon, a soldier wearing armor rushed out from the side, pulled the horse rope tightly beside the carriage, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and said: "Your Highness, Yunhuai is reporting urgently!"
Urgent report from Yunhuai?
Yunhuai County is so good, how can there be an urgent report?
Li Yu didn't think much. He suddenly came to his senses and opened the curtain: "Say!"
"One day ago, a bandit force of more than 10,000 people gathered in Yunhuai County. Today they are approaching Yunhuai City, threatening to break the city within one day." the soldier replied.
"What did you say?" Li Yu's eyes widened in disbelief. He had just left for two days and this happened before he left Huaizhou. He clenched his fists with both hands and punched the carriage door frame angrily: "You are so brave.
!”
Su Ling squinted her eyes, so it was no coincidence that so many people came to attack King You yesterday, but the target of these bandits turned out to be Yunhuai City. They were really brave and hungry. She raised her hands and cupped her fists and said to Li Yu: "
Your Majesty, the top priority is to quickly send troops for reinforcements."
Li Yu nodded. There were only two thousand defenders in the city. Although the opponent was just a bandit, they had a large number of people. The danger in Yunhuai City was not small. He said with a serious expression: "Immediately send someone to the other five counties in Huaizhou to convey the order.
They rushed to reinforce Yunhuai. In addition, they sent a message to the Linzhou army. If those bold bandits dare to break the city, then I will let them stay in the city forever."
Immediately, several more figures appeared in his mind. That guy Tang Ji cherished his life and would take Sister Jiang and Jiu'er to escape, but Song Yao would not. The passion in her bones, the responsibility on her body, and the promise to herself
, even if the city is destroyed, she will definitely defend until the last moment!
Thinking of this, Li Yu's heart tightened and he exclaimed: "Turn around and return the same way as quickly as possible."
Su Ling had just finished delivering the message to a few skilled Yunxiao Guard soldiers. After watching them go away, he turned sideways and replied: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked you to arrive in Beijing at the end of the year. If you turn back, you may not be able to make it in time.
"
"No matter how many there are, I will bear all the consequences." Li Yu replied anxiously, and then ordered the team to turn around.
When Su Ling heard what he said, she stopped insisting and quickly reorganized her team.
The thick clouds dissipated, the clear moonlight shone down, and the sound of horse hooves and footsteps in the dense forest became urgent.
...
The battle outside Yunhuai City continued intermittently all night, and the defenders held the city gate at a great cost.
In the dim light of the morning, Tang Ji, who had been busy all night, walked out of the room in the county government compound. He rubbed his darkened eyes and asked Cheng Tie, who was guarding outside, "How is the war situation now?"
"It's not good. Nearly 700 people in the East City defenders have died, and more than 300 people have been injured. There are only more than 500 people who can fight. Moreover... these rolling logs consume a lot of money. Fortunately, many people spontaneously
Many people have stepped forward to participate in the defense of the city. By the way, Master Yan has just brought even worse news. The bandits have divided their forces and headed north."
Hearing this, Tang Jidun thought about it on the spot, and then ordered: "Get the things in the room, let's go to Beicheng."
Cheng Tie nodded and walked straight into the room. The candles in the room had not been extinguished but were placed on a shelf far away. On the long table were eight copper-colored jars, one foot high and half a foot wide.
The mouth was sealed with clay, and a slender thread extended from the inside.
He scratched his head curiously and murmured to himself: "Is this something that can deal with bandits?"
Although he was doubtful, he quickly moved his things to the carriage outside.
Tang Ji walked into the car, sat on the side of the car, and looked down at the simple version of the explosives in front of him. Due to time constraints, he could only make these few, and since they had not been tested, their power could not be guaranteed.
Therefore, it is recommended that everyone who wants to time travel first learn mathematics, physics and chemistry.
He yawned and felt sleepy immediately, but he still reached out and pinched his arm to keep himself awake.
Not long after, Song Yao was arranging defensive tasks on the upper floor of the North City. When she heard her subordinates announcing that Tang Ji was coming, she immediately went over to greet him.
Tang Ji walked up to the city tower, stood in front of the crenels, looked out of the city, and asked, "How long will it take for the bandits to arrive?"
"It should take another half an hour. The fighting is still going on in the East City. I will go back soon. The North City may have to be handed over to you." Song Yao replied, her eyes scanning him from time to time, curiously saying: "You
What did you do all night?"
Tang Ji stared at Xiao Hui in the distance, turned around and said, "Leave Beicheng to me. You can take all the soldiers away and let Ji Ranju and the guards from the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce stay."
Hearing this, Song Yao frowned slightly. There were only 500 guards in Beicheng now. If she took the soldiers away again, there would be less than 200 people left. According to the intelligence, the bandits had sent nearly 3,000 people over. She quickly
He persuaded: "Dongcheng can still hold on, but Beicheng can't allocate any more manpower!"
"The bandits will mainly attack the East City. After all, the people's fighting power is limited. You need these soldiers. Don't worry, I will defend the North City!" After Tang Ji finished speaking, he smiled calmly.
Song Yao didn't know where his confidence came from, and she believed him unconsciously in her heart: "Okay, then you should pay attention to safety. If you can't keep it, your own safety is the most important thing."
Later, Tang Ji watched her take away all the city guards, turned around and ordered: "Open the city gate!"
