151. Actively prepare for battle (6)
Making samples of things into large-scale applications is definitely two completely different things. Since it is a large-scale application, it requires considerable reserves. Moreover, after gunpowder is manufactured, how to apply it is still a relatively difficult thing. Not only is it used, but even the storage and transportation of gunpowder is very difficult. Because this thing is really terrible, if you are not careful, it is very likely that the enemy will not blow up but will blow up his own people. Liu Shan himself is a good example.
Therefore, the two newly opened military manufacturing sites are far apart, and the places where gunpowder are manufactured are even closely monitored. The surroundings are definitely not allowed to approach the troops, and even the location within fifty meters of the ** location is where serious martial law is strictly enforced. Those who have seen the power of gunpowder will definitely not get close to it. Those who have never seen them are intimidated by fierce guards holding long swords and spears and left in a hurry.
What Liu Shan wants is the extraordinary momentum and unparalleled shocking scene when the gunpowder explodes. As for whether gunpowder can kill people, that is second. So Liu Shan uses the form of a gunpowder bag, just like the explosive bag in later generations. This kind of thing is relatively simple to make, unlike a bomb, which makes Liu Shan feel overwhelmed when he thinks about it. Although this will not produce a scene of sharp iron fragments flying, Liu Shan is really useless to ask for these things. Liu Shan only uses the huge sound waves and momentum caused by the gunpowder explosion.
Simply put, Liu Shan’s use of gunpowder was actually an auxiliary thing. In the end, the soldiers holding long swords and spears were the ones who actually fought on the spot.
Gunpowder packs were made one by one, and open fire was strictly prohibited in military factories. Of course, there was no dark fire in this era, so flames were strictly prohibited here. Joke, if a small Mars did not have eyes on the gunpowder, it would be fun.
In the place where the hot air balloons were made, the hot air balloons sewn with animal skin were also made one by one. Of course, people were amazed that this huge thing could fly to the sky, or even take piglets to the sky. But when Liu Shan was really allowed to take a test, no one dared to go up. Liu Shan finally had to order people temporarily. The person who was clicked turned pale and his legs trembled, and he almost didn't collapse on the ground on the spot.
People have the dream of flying. Ancient people created so many mythical figures, such as the flying fairies and the wild gods. One common feature is that they can fly. Almost all the little fairies and immortals like to step on gourds and swords, and even foreign wizards fly on mops used to mop the floor.
This is enough to show how strong people's dream of flying is. But when faced with the opportunity that is near, no one has the courage to do it. No one is afraid of what if the thing can't be moved, and what if it falls down in the sky, it is even more thrilling than jumping into the cliff. No one can do such a thing.
Liu Shan finally forced a few people to get on the hot air balloon, and of course he went up too. For insurance, the hot air balloons were fixed to the ground with ropes, just like flying kites. People were carrying the hot air balloons into the sky, but because the ropes were fixed to the ground, they did not fly very high.
Because of this rope, people feel a little at ease in their hearts.
The soldiers who ascended to the sky began to curl up in the basket under the hot air balloon and did not dare to look out. Some even closed their eyes tightly, for fear that their eyelids would not be able to block their eyes, so they covered them with their hands. Only Liu Shan stood in the basket, looking at the bottom, and it was not flying high, about fifty meters, and a hot air balloon could carry about two people. Yi'er stood beside Liu Shan. In fact, Yi'er was also afraid of death, but Liu Shan was coming up, and he followed him. The days when he had been born and died with Liu Shan in the past, Yi'er was still missing. Liu Shan would not know that Yi'er, who had to come up with him, came up with a mentality of birth and death.
"Brothers! Do you want to fight against the Turkic wolf cubs like this?" Liu Shan's voice came from under the hot air balloon. The sound was not very loud, but the soldiers not far away heard it.
The soldiers opened their eyes one by one. Some people looked down from the gap in the basket, and some people slowly climbed up the basket, carefully looking around and below.
"Hi!" Finally, someone dared to look below. When the crowd below saw the hot air balloons take off, they all raised their arms and shook them as much as possible. When they saw the soldiers they knew poking their heads out, everyone screamed at the top of their lungs. The joy was no worse than when they saw the hot air balloons take off.
Some people asked their companions around them over and over again in disbelief, "I have really ascended to heaven, I have really ascended to heaven." Liu Shan and Yier, who were loud, could hear it.
"Ascending to heaven! Why does it sound so awkward?" Liu Shan said to Yi'er. At this time, Yi'er's nervousness revealed an unconcealed excitement. The nervousness was because she was in mid-air at this time, and the excitement was because Liu Shan was accompanying her.
Liu Shan held Yi'er's hand, and from this height, people could see the whole city.
Liangzhou City has a flat terrain, and there are not many tall buildings in the city. Even if there are tall buildings, only three or four-story buildings, it is impossible to be high no matter how high it is. I dare not speak loudly, for fear that there will be no buildings like the strange heights of people in the sky in Liangzhou.
Looking up at the cheering crowd below and the Liangzhou City lined up in the four fields, the soldiers on the hot air balloon cheered and shouted. The scene almost made Liu Shan cry. The soldiers were ecstatic. The soldiers were ecstatic when they saw that their comrades around him were actually in the sky above their heads, and they also had the urge to try.
On that day, a group of soldiers climbed the hot air balloon and climbed over the 50-meter-high Liangzhou. Some were moved to tears, while others were so excited that they couldn't speak. Standing on the hot air balloon, the sky seemed to be lowered. The dream of a childhood and adolescent turned into a fact. That kind of excitement was not something Liu Shan could imagine.
Just as the sun sets, Lin Meng also came here. He also boarded the hot air balloon and looked at Liangzhou City below his sight. The greedy general wanted to cry without tears. The border city that had been guarding for several years turned out to be like this.
Liangzhou City is crossed by a layer of fiery red color. The wind in the desert blows from the north, dry and warm. Standing between the sky and the earth, the view is extremely wide. The wind passes through the desert, through the treetops, and through the rising hot air balloons. Looking at the world, it is imminent. Hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry are surrounded by tigers and wolves, and the thin Liangzhou defense seems to collapse as soon as it breaks.
Both generals were silent, just looking at the blood-colored earth and the blue-black horizon in the distance.
The floating clouds in Qinghai are dark and the snow-capped mountains, and the guardians look at Yumen Pass from afar.
Yellow sand is worn with golden armor after hundreds of battles, and will never return until Loulan is destroyed.
The war is pressing step by step, and the battle in Liangzhou is imminent.
On October 4, the third year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic army drove south, with flags like sea, and the steps of the cavalry overflowed the desolate grassland and desert, stretching for dozens of miles, with the soldiers aiming directly at Liangzhou.

I will make up for one festival today and one festival tomorrow. I am afraid that I will not forget the long time, and I will owe two festivals, and everyone will forget. Haha, everyone is ready for the New Year, and I will be happy these days!
