Chapter 1096

Gaochang City, the Pearl of the Silk Road, finally fell into the hands of Datang. When Xin liaoer led his troops into Gaochang City, he was immediately attracted by the prosperity of Gaochang city.

Although Gaochang city was besieged by the Tang army, it was even burned by hot-air balloons and catapults. At the last moment, the Tang army left a hand and did not destroy Gaochang city. Xin liaoer led his troops into the city and immediately occupied a large area of Gaochang city. He was immediately stunned by the mountain of goods and sufficient Treasuries in Gaochang city.

"Gaochang city is worthy of being the most powerful city in the western regions, and it is indeed rich." Xin liaoer couldn't help feeling that Gaochang city not only has enough gold and silver, but also has all kinds of exotic treasures. Each piece was transported to Datang, which is of great value, which dazzled Xin liaoer.

"Tell general Zhonglang that this is the account book of Gaochang's Treasury, which records the Treasury treasures of Gaochang City," a soldier handed over an account book.

Xin liao'er turned his head and looked at the mountains of capture. His greed could not help breeding. He threw the account books into the fire and sneered, "where are the account books? All the account books have been destroyed by Qu Zhisheng."

Has the final say of the soldiers, and if they do not have the books to collect, they will not be able to say anything. They are arrogant and incomparable. Their hands are naturally like attracts like. Most of them are arrogant people. They can not see the rise of greed, and they can reach out to a jade article in the Treasury.

Xin liao'er knocked out the jade articles in his hands and said, "these things are for the general. You can touch them. There are plenty of rich businessmen in the city who want money."

His subordinates were immediately overjoyed and said, "thank you for your advice. My subordinates must have the benefits of the general!"

Looking at the men who turned and left, Xin liao'er couldn't help muttering, "our department has been a forward for many times. We have to make compensation every time we fight. Otherwise, how can we afford those injured brothers."

Xin liaoer's subordinates are brave and good at fighting. In addition to taking the lead, Xin liaoer also has the stimulation of money. Hou Junji will not hesitate to reward them after each battle, and Xin liaoer robbed wealth and distributed it to his subordinates after breaking the city many times, which makes his subordinates willing to serve him.

If Xin liaoer was in the Tang Dynasty, he would not dare to plunder like this. However, in Gaochang city thousands of miles away, facing the oil-rich Gaochang City, Xin liaoer thought that the brothers made some small money privately. Who knows? Last time, they went on an expedition to Tuyuhun, but finally they only caught a few tribes that couldn't squeeze out two liang of oil, and only seized some cattle and sheep, Gold and silver are even less.

However, Gaochang city is not. Gaochang city is the Pearl of the silk road. The most important thing is gold and silver. Gaochang city is rich beyond his imagination. When a group of soldiers saw the wealth accumulated by the rich businessmen in the city, they began to get out of control completely.

Merchants were broken in by the greedy Tang army, and a large number of gold and silver treasures were found. If there was any resistance, they would be killed by the Tang army, and Gaochang city would fall into a catastrophe.

"The general is not good!"

A soldier came in a hurry and reported in Hou Junji's ear.

Hou Junji suddenly got up and said angrily, "Xin Liao's son is just fooling around and even conniving at soldiers' looting."

Hou Junji has always advertised that the Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette. After Ju Wentai died, Hou Junji also set aside three days for Gaochang city to bury Ju Wentai. Now Xin liaoer's barbaric behavior has completely beaten him in the face. "

"Go and find Xin liao'er for me!" Hou Junji gritted his teeth and suddenly whispered, "let him come quietly and don't disturb others."

"Yes!"

As the soldiers hurried away, Xin liao'er rushed to Hou Junji.

Hou Junji roared, "Xin liaoer, you dare to rob Gaochang city. How many heads do you have?"

Xin liao'er said carelessly, "the general is worried too much. If there is no booty, how can any soldiers be willing to work hard? Besides, when General Li attacked Turks in the north and Tuyuhun in the west, he seized tens of thousands of cattle and horses and was sold into money by Mohists."

Hou Junji snorted coldly, "you know what? Military discipline has been mentioned as the top priority since mojiazi and Li Jing put forward the recruit plan. This time, you plunder without command. If you reach Chang'an City, you will die."

Xin liao'er realized the seriousness of the problem and begged Hou Junji for mercy: "the general saved me. The last general is also thinking of the general."

Xin liao'er said, and hurriedly presented two exquisite gold mats to Hou Junji. The gold mats are mattresses made of gold silk. They are of great value. They are not only exquisite workmanship, but also rare things, which have never appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

"Tell the general, these treasures are unprecedented in the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid your majesty hasn't seen them. This is specially prepared for the general by the general." Xin liaoer flattered.

A glimmer of greed flashed in Hou Junji's eyes. Now Gaochang city has been captured, and the overall situation of the war has been determined. In the face of such great credit, Hou Junji can't help being complacent, not to mention Gaochang thousands of miles away. Hou Junji has the highest power.

"If you want to be successful and clean, you can find Gaochang people who oppose tiankhan's orders and exile them one by one for thousands of miles." Hou Junji said ruthlessly.

In two words or three, he was characterized by the act of pillaging Xin Li, who had been forced to suppress the resistance. Once the mainstream of the bitter struggle was put out, the behavior of Xin Hun ER was no longer proof. As for their wealth, it was not allowed to has the final say.

"What about the other generals?" Xin liao'er worried.

"Don't worry. This time, the general only ordered his troops to enter Gaochang City, and other generals are still waiting outside Gaochang city. You only have one night," Hou Junji said.

"Thank you, general!" Xin liao'er went away with great joy.

"Gaochang city has been demoted. Do not disturb the people of Gaochang lightly. The rest are stationed in place."

After receiving Hou Junji's command, other generals couldn't help but sink. Although they didn't know what happened in Gaochang City, they could naturally guess a bit. However, Hou Junji was the main general. The fat meat of Gaochang city fell into their mouth, and the generals could only acquiesce.

Of course, these generals do not include Merton and the firearm supervisor. At the moment, the firearm supervisor is surrounding the gap of the collapsed wall of Gaochang city and began to calculate the explosive power of gunpowder.

"The bottom of the wall collapsed eleven feet, and the top collapsed thirteen feet." Zhang Mu shouted loudly, and Merton quickly wrote it down.

"According to the visual inspection of the officers and men of the hot-air balloon, there were flying stones jumping nearly ten feet high at the time of initiation, which almost accidentally injured the hot-air balloon."

"Ten feet high!" Merton wrote again.

"The flying stone falls three hundred steps around." Zhang Mu measures it step by step.

Merton recorded it again, nodded with satisfaction, got up and handed the note to the wooden Road: "continue to observe the crushing of bricks and stones around the city wall and draw out the schematic picture of blasting as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Zhang Mu replied.

"Please come here, sir, and report something!" Xue Rengui came in a hurry and said in horror.

Merton followed him and soon came to the entrance of the blasting tunnel. Next to the entrance of the tunnel, there was a mess. All the catapults and vehicles were overturned, and some were damaged.

"These are all destroyed by the heat coming out of the tunnel?" asked Merton.

Xue Rengui nodded with lingering fear and said, "just these. Please look here, sacrificial Lord."

Following the position pointed out by Xue Rengui, Merton saw that the mound at the entrance of the tunnel was inlaid with dense stones.

"These stones are huge stones used by the firearm prison to seal the tunnel. They were all blasted, and many more rushed out with the fire. All these stones are deeply immersed in the soil. It can be imagined how terrible it would be if people face these flying stones directly.

Merton looked at Xue Rengui and said meaningfully, "you mean there is a lot of gunpowder at the bottom of a closed channel, which is enough to rush out the heavy objects at a very fast speed."

Xue Rengui couldn't help scratching his head and said, "it's just that the end general is whimsical. There are too few weapons in the firearm prison. The end will be excited to see the power of gunpowder, but where can we dig tunnels anytime and anywhere, and the enemy will stand at the entrance."

Merton smiled and said, "what if we narrow the tunnel into Zhang Xu and cast it with steel?"

Xue Rengui was stunned and said in surprise, "if you become Zhang Xu, you can certainly transport easily, and you won't be damaged by gunpowder explosion. In addition, gunpowder and boulders are enough to be comparable to the power of a catapult."

Merton said again, "if the stone hits the wall, it's just smashing. What if you replace the stone with an iron ball?"

Xue Rengui was shocked and blurted out: "then it can destroy all the enemies in front of him, including the city wall."

Who can resist such a powerful iron ball? This thing can be made. It must be the most powerful weapon in the world. He never thought that such a powerful weapon should be designed because of the tunnels in other countries.

Merton smiled, patted Xue Rengui on the shoulder and said, "this is your creativity. If this weapon can be cast, Rengui should take the lead."

Xue Rengui quickly shook his head and said, "the humble position is just nonsense, and under the guidance of marquis Mo, we have the idea of this weapon, and we won't dare to take credit at the end."

"The most precious thing in the world is that trace of inspiration, and you can seize this trace of inspiration and think of weaponizing it, which is the most rare. You deserve this credit. This sacrifice is more than it is, and less than it is. But you are different. With this credit, you must rise straight." Merton solemnly said.

Xue Rengui was immediately moved and said, "thank you for your advice."

Later generations of Xue Rengui achieved great achievements late, but now Xue Rengui has experienced military training and two wars of the western expedition Tuyuhun and Gaochang. He is much more mature than later generations. Merton doesn't mind helping him.

No one could have imagined that Hou Junji and Mo Jiazi chose different Royal techniques at almost the same time.
