As for why all Liu Shan's people lie to outsiders collectively, think about what they can choose when a person who controls their food and accommodation warns them with vicious words. Liu Shan calls it a lie of kindness, what is a lie of kindness, or a lie.

Starting from the early morning of September 19th, people began to purchase leather in Liangzhou City. All of these people came from the army. The purchase price of these leather was very good, even slightly higher than usual. Of course, all the civilians in Liangzhou had withdrawn at this time. However, a large number of local people from Liangzhou joined the army and stayed. I heard that the army purchased leather, these people returned to their homes and sold the fur goods that had not yet been moved away to the army.

Of course, there were not many fur goods, but the well-informed merchants quickly got the news, and they knew that the fur goods were only purchased for five days, and the time was short and the profit was abundant. The merchants drove big and small cars to the villages and households, rushing to other cities and villages. Liangzhou belongs to the northern border town, and the surrounding towns and cities were also very developed. The fur goods were purchased by the merchants at a low price and transported them to Liangzhou City in batches to the military.

At this time, Liu Shan and Lin Meng held a small meeting in the city. The next thing could not be hidden from Lin Meng. As the real garrison general in Liangzhou at this time, Liu Shan needed Lin Meng to help. Liu Shan said his combat plan, and Lin Meng opened his horrified eyes and said that this was impossible. Because from Liu Shan's mouth, Lin Meng heard that Liu Shan was going to use animal skins to bring the soldiers to the sky. Lin Meng immediately denied this fantasy combat plan.

Liu Shan had to put a Kongming lantern in Lin Mansion in broad daylight. Seeing the Kongming lantern rising slowly, Liu Shan pointed to the Kongming lantern that gradually disappeared into the air and said to Lin Meng, "If the lamp is hundreds of times larger, can it bring people to heaven?"

At this time, Lin Meng felt that there was a little possibility, but what could he do to bring people to heaven? Could he throw stones, pee, or spit out of heaven at the Turks?

Liu Shan watched Lin Meng talk and listened carefully. Finally, he only said one sentence, giving me the place and the staff. He knew that he had to explain his combat plan clearly to a general in the Tang Dynasty, which was tantamount to playing the piano against a cow. At this time, he did not have the time and energy to carefully explain the battle plan he had planned, but just reached out to ask for the place and people.

Lin Meng had no choice but to rely on Liu Shan to defend the city at this time. Besides, Lin Meng could not come up with any solution in the face of the Turkic army. At this time, Lin Meng was thinking of killing the dead horse. After complicated thinking that thousands of brain cells could die, he finally agreed to Liu Shan's request.

So, on a real estate in the Lin family, the people brought by Liu Shan pushed the extra houses, and the army surrounded the walls tightly. From the walls, noisy work sounds came every day. When a soldier looked up at the sky one day, he suddenly found something seemed to be flying upwards in the clear sky. He rubbed his eyes hard, thinking that he had read it wrong, but the rising thing was really seen in his eyes at this time. It would be impossible to be wrong, it was a very huge ball, no, not very round, and looked a little weird, like a drop of water standing upside down.

The soldiers exclaimed, and the soldiers around them looked into the sky, and everyone saw a scene that shocked them.

At this moment, in the sky, a pig was screaming desperately in the spider plant under the huge balloon.

On September 21, 2018, the third year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, the first hot air balloon rose slowly in the place where the Lin family originally belonged to Liangzhou City. This was a thing that transcended the era. On that day, those who saw the hot air balloons flying in the sky, except for Liu Shan, both the Liangzhou defenders and the army brought by Liu Shan, all shouted in surprise and frantically. Thousands of arms stretched out to the sky enthusiastically and waved them to the best of their ability. It seemed that this made them more excited and happy than they defeated the Turks.

Looking at the hot air balloons rising in the sky, Liu Shan was also filled with emotion at this time.

At this time, I have two of the most powerful things I use to prepare for the Turks.

One piece was gunpowder. In fact, gunpowder was not invented by Liu Shan at this time. As early as the pre-Qin period, the alchemy and pharmaceutical industry was very popular. At that time, some sorcerers mistakenly used saltpeter sulfur and other things to refine them in the alchemy furnace, causing shocking explosions. Sometimes they even destroyed the alchemy furnace and shattered the houses. There were not one or two sorcerers who died for this. It can be said that in the pre-Qin period, gunpowder had been inadvertently invented by sorcerers. However, this kind of thing has not been effectively used, and people really couldn't think of any good uses that could cause the collapse of the houses.

Liu Shan, who came from the 21st century, would not have such an idea. He really knew the use of gunpowder in the war, and also knew the huge application and future of warp gunpowder in the era of hot weapons. Fortunately, among the materials that had been cleared, there was a batch of saltpeter. Liu Shan still didn't know these things at first. When he learned that these things were saltpeter, Liu Shan could not suppress his excitement. Sulfur and charcoal were easy to find, but saltpeter was not easy to make. Unexpectedly, he could get a batch of saltpeter when he cleared things.

Liu Shan didn't know what this batch of saltpeter was for transporting to the Turks, but it was absolutely impossible for him to use it without using it in his hands.

This is where Liu Shan’s secret refining story in the camp later. Of course, Liu Shan also discovered that the power of gunpowder explosion is not very powerful, and it is impossible to be as powerful as the explosives that appeared in later generations. It is impossible to rely on these things to blow the opponent into pieces and flee in a panic. Unless the name of the black gunpowder is replaced by **, Liu Shan does not have the ability to ** at this time.

Liu Shan’s personal experience really told himself that in fact, the gunpowder could not even be killed. Liu Shan was at the center of the explosion at that time. Apart from the charred whole body and the buzzing ears, Liu Shan could be said to be intact. Of course, it is absolutely exaggerated to say that it was unharmed. However, the sound and momentum, the smell and the sensation caused by it, Liu Shan also felt it truly. This is where Liu Shan really values ​​gunpowder.

The second thing is of course the hot air balloon. In real war, the enemy's depth must not be hundreds or thousands of meters. The army of hundreds of thousands is definitely overwhelming and overflowing the grassland. At that time, the range of catapults and crossbows was within two thousand meters. Liu Shan felt that it was not enough. The range of two thousand meters was really hard to satisfy.

Therefore, there are hot air balloons. The enemy is on the ground and its ability to strike against the air is absolutely limited. Unless the hot air balloon rises very low, it is simply a place that the enemy cannot reach. Moreover, the Turks used bows and arrows, and the shooting distance of bows and arrows into the air is too short.

This is not what Liu Shan thought of for covering the depth of the enemy that cannot be reached with a hot air balloon. I really watched too many bombing scenes before, of course, that was on TV.

Of course, the manufacturing of hot air balloons was not Liu Shan’s creativity. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Kongming lanterns rose on the land of China. Whether it was hot air balloons or later airships, the principle of Kongming lanterns was actually used. It can only be said that the appearance and size of the real thing had almost no changes.

These two things are actually things created by our ancestors long ago. The reason why they have not been applied is that Liu Shan can only sigh that his ancestors are too kind. He absolutely does not believe that no one in the thousand-year history of Yangyang China can see the purpose of these things, and he does not believe that those real military experts do not know the value of air superiority.
