While having a party with his Guram brothers, Mahmoud Berry, the favorite general of the Chinese Lion King, was drinking and caring, under the wall of the north gate of the Stone City, not far from his mansion. Luo Gang, a top military officer with sweat and mud on his face, was carefully placing a lit candle next to a coffin!

After looking at the candles with sparkling flames, there was no sign of extinguishing. Luogang breathed and shouted at the three strong men beside him: "Open the coffin!"

"Here!"

The three strong men responded and started together, putting the lid of the coffin aside. The coffin... was of course empty! There must be no gold, silver and treasures or "big rice dumplings". Luo Gang is an engineer expert, and he did not change his career to be a lieutenant of the gold-touching school.

This coffin, oh, is actually not a real coffin. It is just a rectangular wooden box that can accommodate a person. It looks a bit like a coffin, so it was given the name "gunpowder coffin".

This "gunpowder coffin" is that Luo Gang and three other strong men carry it into the medicine room located under the wall of Stone City. This is not that Luo Gang deliberately shows himself, but the provisions in the "Engineering Ordinance"! The burial of explosives and forced demolition of other people's city walls is a heavy responsibility, and Luo Gang, as the commander of the engineer, must do it himself.

If an accident occurs, he will have to die together!

After the lid of the "coffin" was removed, someone had already pushed a truck of gunpowder with a wheelbarrow and hugged his waist through the dark tunnel to the medicine room.

The wheelbarrow for transporting gunpowder is specially designed. The axle is in front and the wheels are very small, so it can only transport lighter loads. However, it is more flexible and suitable for use in narrow tunnels and trenches. In addition, a dump truck is also installed on the axle, and packs of gunpowder are neatly placed inside the dump truck, tied firmly with hemp rope.

Taking advantage of the little light from the candle, Luogang pulled out a knife and skillfully cut the rope. Then he said, "Reversal."

The engineer who pushed the cart used it to lift the handlebar, pour out the gunpowder bag that had been turned on, and then quickly retreated to load the second cart of gunpowder.

"Start install!"

Luo Gang gave another order, and the four people in the medicine room immediately had their own division of labor and began to pass on packs of gunpowder and put them into the "coffin"...

At the same time, Feng Mingshan, the mercenary leader from Wulu Mountain, the Great Liao Kingdom, was lying on the grass less than 100 steps outside the north gate of Shitou City.

He, the mercenary leader, has attracted thousands of people for the Great Educational Corps! I thought he could give him a preparation general (battalion commander) after arriving in Lingzhou, at least one deputy? But I never expected that the officials of the Great Educational Corps were not that easy to be! I had to join the Doctorate Group first, and received a short period of time, but very strict military training required must be literate and literate, and only those who know a little military tactic can accomplish it!

Feng Mingshan happened to have some basic knowledge. His family has been retainers of the Ma family for generations. Therefore, when he was young, he studied and practiced martial arts in the Ma family's school. Later, he became the leader of the Ma family. Later, he followed Ma Zhi's order to go out to do a mercenary business.

It is precisely because of this foundation that he was able to complete the promotion assessment. Because what he accepted was only the courses for cultivating fire chiefs, that is, non-commissioned officers. And it was not the entire set of courses including spears, swords and shields and archers, but the courses for swords and shields.

The little Wuchen who completed the training can theoretically command a sword and shield team under special circumstances (the superior team is in charge and the escort team is absent).

So he is now a team of the sword and shield team, and he hopes that in the future, the officers from the infantry school can be appointed as the team of the new army, the team of the new army, the team of the new army, the team of the new army, the team of the new army, the team of the fire-hailing team is only a small military officer who has received fire-hailing training.

However, Huo Chang's training course is enough to allow Feng Mingshan to cope with today's combat command.

Today, he and his sword and shield hands will play the role of "grenadiers". So in addition to wearing half-body armor (only front heart, helmet and right-hand protective gear), they carry fan shields and straight swords, they also bring fire breaks and two burst arrows.

Wear half-body armor to reduce weight. Because the general attack will be launched in the early morning, there is no need to worry too much about the enemy's bows and arrows, so there is no full armor.

The purpose of carrying the explosion giant arrow is of course to perform "black magic". Since the birth of the granular gunpowder, the Yuntai Academy, the Knights Academy and the Naval Academy have not stopped studying gunpowder weapons. Wu Haogu himself even wrote a book called "Gunpowder Weapon Science", pulling the firearms to the same height as infantry, cavalry, and engineers. He also proposed many "brain ideas" in the book "Gunpowder Weapon Science", one of which is "dropping bombs".

Now that the bomb has not been built, it has created a burst arrow. It is not difficult to create a gunpowder ball that can explode, but it is not easy to make the bomb have satisfactory lethality. Moreover, it is not easy to throw a wooden or porcelain gunpowder ball, and it is too troublesome to throw it out with a stone generator. After all, the stone generator is too large and it is difficult to manufacture. Moreover, the stone generator is a weapon for shooting and is not easy to hit the moving target.

In contrast, the explosion rocket is much more valuable. The explosion rocket can be thrown as a javelin or fired by the Eight Niu Crossbow. In particular, the latter is of great use in field combat, because the Eight Niu Crossbow is a direct-fired weapon and is easy to hit the target. If the target is an enemy infantry and cavalry array, then a few or more than a dozen explosion rockets may create huge chaos.

The infantry and cavalry formation, especially the infantry formation, can only be shattered by armored cavalry, so gunpowder weapons are really a double-edged sword against the Song Dynasty, which is mainly infantry!

If the Khitans in the north had mastered the secret of a granular gunpowder, they could create the same bursting giant arrow, and the Eight-Nuo Crossbow was no secret to the Khitan...

At that time, the Song army's infantry formation would have to be "bombarded"!

...

When the early morning of the new day came, the strong Mahmood Berry had just finished a series of shots! "Bang" two blond and blue-eyed Ross female slaves begged for mercy. After venting their excess energy, Mahmood Berry fell asleep with the company of the beauty and fell asleep.

In the dream, General Berry became a hero of the Tianfang Sect and led the Saint Seiya of the Karakhan Dynasty to attack the Peach Blossom Stone and the Middle Peach Blossom Stone. The brave Saint Seiya could defeat the Han official family of the Peach Blossom Stone and the Gulam Guard of the Khitan Emperor in the Peach Blossom Stone and fled in panic... That was the Guram with as many tides as there were, there were 20,000 Gulams in the Han official family and 30,000 Gulams in the Khitan Emperor. But they all collapsed completely in front of the brave Saint Seiya. There were too many enemies running away, and countless horse hooves hit the ground, so that the earth shook!

No, how could the horse's hooves knock the ground to shake?

And...why are there any woman screaming?

Mahmoud Berry was awakened by a woman's scream. He opened his eyes suddenly. In the darkness, he found a mess in the bedroom, such as cabinets, mirrors, and clothes hangers, all lying on the ground. Two Ross women were screaming like crazy, shouting "Kulu! Kululu!", and they didn't know what crazy they were?

"What's going on?" Berry roared.

The two women were yelled at by him and didn't dare to cry. They all lay on the ground, trembling.

"Sir Hakmu!"

Outside the door, the shouts of an old servant from Berry came: "It seems that a big earthquake has occurred! It has shattered a section of the city wall!?"

"What!?" Berry stood up suddenly, his mind was buzzing, his calves were a little weak, and he was a little confused. After a while, he heard drums and shouting for killing outside, and he realized and shouted, "Chainmail!"

When the two Ross women heard his roar, they quickly smeared and found Berry's chain mail and helmet. Regardless of his naked clothes, he put on a chain mail and then put on his helmet.

Then, the two female slaves found leather boots, scimitars, and belts, and put them on General Berry.

Mahmoud Berry was neatly dressed and rushed out of his room. As soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw a group of Gulam who were drunk last night wearing chain mail, helmets, and carrying a machete to gather.

Not to mention, Guram's reaction was much faster than the Ikta Knights! At least they lived in the barracks and were able to go to the battlefield at any time.

But at this time the shouts of killing outside had already started. I couldn’t understand what I shouted, because I was shouting in Chinese!

"It seems that the pagans have entered!" Mahmoud did not seem panic at all, and said loudly to his brothers of Gulam, "But those who await them in the Stone City are the only soldiers and death of Allah! Great Allah! Come with me, the warriors of Gulam!"

“Allah is the greatest!”

Everyone held up their scimitars and cheered. As brave Gulam and Allah's warriors, they had never doubted their courage. They also always believed that victory would belong to the side blessed by Allah. If the enemy today is the Sultan of the Seljuk Turks, then no one can guarantee victory. After all, the Sultan defended the Caliph and the Holy Sepulchre.

But today we are just pagans...a group of pagans who have mastered the terrible black magic!

When the Gulam soldiers followed their leader out of the general's mansion and arrived on the wide street, under the dimness and strange fireballs that rose from time to time, they were surprised to find that the tall and solid, ancient stone city north gate tower had disappeared! What's going on? The houses on the street were basically intact, so why did a city gate tower collapse just? Could it be that this earthquake was aimed at it?
