My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

The telescope in Chang Yuan's hand was the one made by Ning Qingxi earlier.

If they wanted to remake the telescope, they had to burn the glass first, but they were busy making gunpowder and had no time at all, so now there was only one telescope. After knowing that Chang Yuan was going to fight, she gave the telescope to Chang Yuan without thinking.

The smoother Chang Yuan lives, the better they can live.

Wang Hanting was looking through the binoculars, and kept sighing with emotion.

Ma Honglin couldn't see it, so he snatched it over, "I said you got it, haven't you seen enough after watching it for a long time? Let me see it too!"

Wang Hanting muttered, if it wasn't for marching and fighting, the two of them would have fought each other.

Chang Yuan stopped the behavior of the two, "Okay, set up camp, eat and drink enough to rest and take a rest, and capture Jinzhou City in one fell swoop."

Chang Yuan attaches great importance to this war, not because of the importance of Golden State, but because this is the first time that gunpowder has made its debut.

Ning Qingxi said that due to the limited craftsmanship, these gunpowders cannot guarantee 100% success in detonation.

Some gunpowder would get damp even if it didn't rain, so Chang Yuan wasn't quite sure how effective the gunpowder would be.

After the trimming, the group headed towards Jinzhou City mightily.

Soon, the soldiers on the city wall of Jinzhou discovered the troops ahead.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Close the city gate!"

The soldiers on Jinzhou City panicked.

Chang Yuan could even see the frightened expressions on these soldiers' faces from a distance with a telescope.

He took down the binoculars and carefully handed them to the soldiers to put them away.

Wang Hanting and Ma Honglin wanted to see it again, but he didn't want to.

It's just one, what if it gets damaged by these two idiots?
Although the war has not yet started, in Chang Yuan's heart Ning Qingxi has already been credited.

Chang Yuan thought to himself, binoculars are indeed a sharp weapon for marching and fighting.

If you have a telescope, you can easily observe whether the enemy is in an ambush.

You can even see the number of guards on the city wall before the enemy reacts.

Adding the quill pen to all the scout equipment will definitely have an unexpected effect.

The huge wooden door of Jinzhou creaked shut.

The clothes guarded by Jinzhou City were Nanchen's uniforms. Chang Yuan had already inquired clearly before he came. Because they occupied Taixi County and Taizhou Prefecture, Jinzhou had lost contact with the imperial court.

So he expected that the resistance should not be very strong.

Chang Yuan stopped when he walked one mile from the city gate.

Through the binoculars, one can clearly see that many high-ranking people are already standing on the city wall, and they are constantly looking at them.

It's just that these people's faces are not very good-looking.

The soldiers of the Firearms Battalion have been practicing throwing for more than half a month. Even if they can't hit a hundred shots, they can still hit eight out of ten shots.

All explosives were taken out.

Chang Yuan sent someone to shout for them to surrender.

When the people on the city wall saw that the banner they played was "Chang", they immediately understood which side it was.

As expected, the group did not choose to surrender.

Although they lost contact with the imperial court, it is unlikely that they will receive reinforcements, but the city wall of Jinzhou is very high, higher than the original Taixi County, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There are probably more than 1 guards in Jinzhou City. If you count the people in the whole city, you can easily pull out 3 to [-] people.

The people brought by Chang Yuan, together with the accompanying transportation team, are only about 3 people.

Generally, the number of people attacking the city must be greater than the number of people defending the city to be able to win, but they have the same number now. It is impossible to take down Jinzhou City if they attack the city with cold weapons in the past, unless they cooperate with each other or other strategies.

Perhaps the other party also insisted on refusing to surrender because they saw that their number was only about 3.

Chang Yuan issued an order, "The firearms battalion goes first."

The soldiers of the Firearms Battalion all took off their clothes, revealing their muscular upper bodies. Their arms were muscular and powerful.

The camp advanced steadily, and the soldiers of the firearms battalion lit the gunpowder fuse in their hands, and threw it out when it was about the same time.

The soldiers of the Firearms Battalion stopped about two hundred steps away from the city wall, just outside the shooting range of the enemy's ordinary bows and arrows.

Most of the gunpowder thrown by the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion just threw the gunpowder under the city wall, but one of the strongest soldiers directly threw the gunpowder onto the city wall.

The guards on the city wall saw that they were just throwing something wrapped in paper, and were puzzled.

Suddenly, a burning gunpowder with a fuse was thrown up, and the surrounding soldiers subconsciously took a few steps back, but the speed was too slow, and the gunpowder exploded directly in the crowd, and many soldiers were blown beyond recognition.

There were endless screams on the city wall!
"Ah! My legs!"

"Ah, my face!"

"What is this! Thunder?!"

"Help!"

It was just a few rounds of gunpowder, and the earthen wall under the city wall was not actually blown up. First, the distance was long, and second, the blasting range was not concentrated enough. Instead, the gunpowder thrown on the city wall had an effect, and the soldiers guarding the city were in chaos. .

A leading armored general saw this scene and immediately asked the other soldiers to pick up the gunpowder and throw it down, but the soldiers watched the gunpowder explode, blowing up their colleagues beyond recognition and even breaking their hands and feet. Where dare to approach?
It's just that they will be killed by the generals and soldiers behind them as soon as they retreat. They have no choice but to endure the fear and throw down the burning gunpowder. Some succeeded, and some failed.

After a while, the riot on the city wall was suppressed.

In the distance, Chang Yuan smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that the gunpowder was so scattered that it was impossible to blow down the city wall.

It was just a test of the power of the gunpowder. After the turmoil on the city wall stopped, the Jinzhou soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. They thought they were safe.

They have found that the gunpowder thrown up has a burning thread, as long as the thing is thrown down before the thread is burned out, nothing will happen.

Little did they know that Chang Yuan had sent someone to secretly pile up a lot of gunpowder at the gate of their city.

A bed crossbow was moved on the city wall. Ordinary bows and arrows could not hit throwing soldiers, but a bed crossbow could, and no armor could stop it.

It's just that before they started launching, something happened below.

"Light it up." Chang Yuan said to the soldier in the firearms battalion who threw the longest distance.

Others can throw at a distance of one to two hundred steps at most, but this soldier's arm strength is great and he can throw four hundred steps!
After hearing this, the soldiers immediately lit the fuse of the gunpowder in their hands, and then threw the lit gunpowder directly into the gunpowder pile at the city gate.

Then the whole army retreated fifty steps, and erected their shields at the front.

The people on the city wall were baffled.

Although they were a little afraid of the gunpowder, they didn't think that this pack of gunpowder could blow down the city wall.

The bag of gunpowder that was thrown over exploded with a bang, and then caused a chain reaction, and the explosives in the whole gunpowder pile exploded directly.

The city gate collapsed with a "boom", and before the soldiers on the city wall could even react, a big gap was missing in the city wall at the gate, and many soldiers even fell directly.
