Chapter 160 The First Batch of Gunpowder Weapons

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

North County.

Tianguang City.

Wearing a brown armor, Lu Chen stood on the city wall, watching the flying snow in the distance.

A lot of scouts from the Northland have come back. This time, many of their scouts are barbarian soldiers.

It has to be said that the barbarians have great advantages on the grassland, especially in reconnaissance of the enemy.

At this time, Xiao Pengtian jumped up from the tower and jumped to Lu Chen's side, "My lord, according to the gathering speed of the tribes in the northern grassland, it may take another month for them to go south."

"Furthermore, I estimated that the barbarian soldiers that the King of North Korea can call up by issuing a summons order should not exceed 15 at most."

Hearing this, Lu Chen thought for a long time.

15 barbarian soldiers dare to go south to attack Beijun in winter?
What was the King of North Korea thinking?

At this time, Lu Chen asked: "Have our spies found out why the king of Beixian chose to go south in winter?"

Hearing this question, Xiao Pengtian immediately replied: "My lord, it is true that some soldiers in some small tribes heard about the reason why the King of Northern Xian went south, but they only heard the news from the small tribes, and I don't know if it is true or not. "

Many of the spies they sent out were barbarian soldiers from the original Sirius King tribe. In addition to being familiar with the grasslands, they also had a very big advantage, that is, they could communicate with other barbarian tribes and thus inquire about more News about the barbarian tribes of the steppe.

After hearing Xiao Pengtian's words, Lu Chen immediately said: "This king will be able to tell the real from the fake, just tell me what you found out."

Xiao Pengtian immediately said: "According to the soldiers who came back, the reason why the King of Beixian went south in winter is because the King of Beixian felt that you had robbed his concubine, and he couldn't swallow it."

Hearing this, Lu Chen froze for a moment.

If he hadn't defeated Sirius King's 30 army, then Xiao Wenyao would indeed marry Beixian King in the end, but Lu Chen still felt that it was a bit far-fetched to send troops to attack Beijun just for a woman.

Lu Chen continued to ask: "Is there no other reason?"

Xiao Pengtian said: "There is another reason, that is, the King of Northern Xian believes that the 30 army of the Sirius King's tribe has severely damaged Beijun, so Beijun is no longer powerless to resist them going south."

Speaking of this, Xiao Pengtian's emotions were a bit complicated. He also participated in the battle against Beijun at the beginning, but in the end he was captured by the generals under the King of Bei.

At this moment, Lu Chen laughed, and then said: "I'm afraid this is what the King of Beixian really thinks. No wonder they will go south in winter."

At first, Lu Chen couldn't figure out why the King of North Korea would go south in winter, after all, the barbarians had never gone south in winter.

Even the tribe of the Sirius King had never braved a snowstorm to march on the grassland before, and the decision of the North Korean King was really too bold.

If they were marching in winter, it is very likely that the soldiers of the barbarians would have died before they arrived in Beijun, which was extremely unfavorable for the barbarians.

Just when Lu Chen was about to say something, a man in black and red brocade clothes came to Lu Chen.

"See Your Majesty!"

Seeing this Jin Yiwei, Xiao Pengtian's face darkened instantly, and he even had the urge to draw his sword.

The Jinyiwei soldier in front of him is the businessman Wu Yuan who was lurking in the tribe of Sirius King back then.

Now the Sirius King tribe has all moved to Beijun, and there will be no more Sirius King tribe from now on. Wu Yuan is also promoted to Jinyiwei Qianhu because of his meritorious service in collecting information on the barbarians, and Jinyiwei is expanding its recruitment recently.

Although Xiao Pengtian has surrendered to Lu Chen, he and Wu Yuan are both under Lu Chen's subordinates, but when Xiao Pengtian thinks about what happened before, he always has an impulse in his heart, wanting to kill Wu Yuan directly the impulse.

Lu Chen asked, "What's the matter?"

Wu Yuan replied, "My lord, the craftsmen have already made the first batch of things you need, and we have quietly shipped them to Beijun."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up. The craftsmen of Dayu City had just arrived in Beijun not long ago, and they actually made what he needed.

Lu Chen then continued to ask: "Have you Jin Yiwei tested the power?"

Wu Yuan replied: "It's been tested. It's not as powerful as a howitzer, but it's not far behind. According to your suggestion, we added a lot of metal fragments to it, and the killing effect will be better."

Hearing the word "howitzer", Xiao Pengtian on the side was shocked.

He has been in Beijun for a while, so how could he not know what a "howitzer" is? Although he is not qualified to touch a howitzer, he also knows the name of the terrifying weapon that bombed them back then.

Xiao Pengtian felt a chill down his spine as soon as he heard that the North King and the others actually made a weapon that was as powerful as a howitzer.

Sure enough, is the era of warriors coming to an end?
I don't know where Bei Wang and the others got such a terrifying weapon!

If the Sirius King tribe had known that Beijun possessed such a weapon, they would not have come to attack Beijun, let alone be annexed by Beijun.

But those are not important anymore, Xiao Pengtian just sighed in his heart.

At this time, Lu Chen said: "General Xiao, come with me to see our new weapons."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen jumped off the tower. At this moment, Xiao Pengtian stared at Wu Yuan with wide eyes.

Seeing Xiao Pengtian's eyes staring straight at him, wishing to swallow himself alive, Wu Yuan said with a smile: "General Xiao, we are now our own people, you don't have to look at it with such great hatred. follow me?"

Xiao Pengtian snorted coldly and said, "You son of a bitch!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Pengtian also jumped directly from the tower, and followed Lu Chen to look at the new weapons.

Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, he didn't care at all, Jin Yiwei was the lackey of the Northern King, Xiao Pengtian's words were not wrong, and he didn't feel that it was insulting him at all.

In their Jin Yiwei's view, being scolded as the Northern King's lackeys was a compliment to them.

Soon Lu Chen and the others came to the convoy transporting ordnance.

Lu Chen immediately asked people to open those boxes, and then checked the gunpowder weapons brought by Jin Yiwei.

Because this is the first batch of gunpowder weapons made by craftsmen, these things are relatively simple. Basically, an iron ball wrapped with gunpowder is considered a bomb.

And there is no artillery yet, and only catapults can be used to launch.

In order to make a cannon, further development of materials is needed, and it cannot be made so quickly, and Lu Chen is also aware of this.

Lu Chen then said: "Take two to the grassland first, I want to try the effect myself."

It just so happens that Tianguang City is just a military fortress now, there are no ordinary people, and only soldiers stationed in the entire city.

And outside Tianguang City is the endless grassland, it is just right to try these gunpowder weapons on the grassland.

Hearing Lu Chen's order, some Jin Yiwei immediately moved a weapon with a bomb on to the wooden cart, and then pulled it towards the grassland.

Seeing those round iron balls, Xiao Pengtian couldn't understand. Was it this kind of iron balls that defeated the 30 barbarian army in the Wanning Valley?
Isn't this an iron ball?

Why is it so destructive?

Could it be that the lifetime skill of a great master has gathered in this iron ball?
