Chapter 848 Landing Battle
That's right...
Su Dingfang's face turned red with anger!
Your title is higher than mine, your official position is older than mine, but I, Su Dingfang, am also a general who has been famous for many years. I am at least twice as old as you. How thick-skinned do you have to be to be able to pat me down? Shoulder say "a child can be taught"?
Seeing that Su Dingfang was showing signs of getting angry, Fang Jun realized that his joke seemed to be a bit too much, and quickly changed the subject: "The landing battle has begun, let's let that Hu Shang Hussein come and have a look, on the one hand, let him recognize the person, and don't Our soldiers accidentally killed his nephew. On the other hand, we should also show him the power of Zhentian Lei, and he might be a potential big buyer..."
Su Dingfang's eyes suddenly widened and he lost his voice: "You want to sell Zhentian Lei? Chief Manager, you must not do this, it is a serious crime of beheading!"
His Majesty Li Er has to firmly control even the Shenji Camp in his hands, which shows how much he values and fears firearms. Now you actually want to sell Zhentian Lei like goods. Aren't you tired of living?
Fang Jun waved his hand: "You don't know that the manufacturing method of this thunder is actually very simple. Even if we don't sell it, it won't take long before the secret recipe for manufacturing it will be discovered. By then we will get nothing, so we might as well make some profit now. ”
Gunpowder really has no technical content.
Nowadays, many Taoist priests who make alchemy among the people have actually mastered the method of making gunpowder, but they have not yet realized that this combination of several minerals can produce such great power.
Although the folk production method is a mixture of multiple herbs and minerals, the ratio is not precise enough and fails to exert the maximum power of gunpowder. It also contains many useless drugs or minerals, but how much impact does it have? ?
The emergence of Zhentian Lei will inevitably lead to the early advent of gunpowder formulas.
The Tang Dynasty was an open country. Hu people and barbarians were spread all over the major cities of the Tang Dynasty. Once the folk formula of gunpowder appeared, it would spread at an extremely fast speed, and the court would not be able to control it at all.
As long as the formula of gunpowder is understood, the casting method of the artillery cannot be hidden from anyone, unless Fang Jun builds the artillery and locks it in the warehouse, never to be seen again...
So what Fang Jun has to do next is to purify the raw materials of gunpowder and see if he can produce smokeless gunpowder. The other thing is to improve the iron smelting technology, improve the quality of steel, and increase the caliber and power of the artillery.
"This..." Su Dingfang was speechless. The formula of gunpowder was the highest level secret in the Tang Dynasty. It was even more important than the color of the trousers the emperor was wearing today. He didn't know the details at all.
However, when Fang Jun, the creator of gunpowder, said such words, Su Dingfang was naturally unable to refute.
And this kind of thing is not something that he can participate in. With Fang Jun's shrewdness, he obviously will not make himself uncomfortable by digging for resistance. He ignored them, waved to the soldiers behind him, and ordered them to raise the flag for the warships behind them, so that Hussein could land immediately.
The three warships that had been isolated from the battlefield quickly sailed into the harbor and docked. Two of them were fully armored naval warships, and the other was an Arabian Sea ship with a long and narrow hull, which was Hussein's ship.
Fang Jun stood on the boat, touching his chin, wondering why Hussein had to travel across the ocean to the Far East since he was a member of the Hashemite family? Today's West Asia is in the era of the Four Caliphs. They are holding the banner of Muslims everywhere, attacking cities and expanding wildly, wanting to spread the glory of Muhammad throughout the world! This man no longer strives for a meritorious career in the army, but he has to go to the distant Far East...
His actions are inconsistent, and his intentions are profound.
One pirate ship after another was captured, and the pirates ship after ship were escorted away. Hussein could not wait any longer. After getting a signal from Fang Jun allowing him to land, he kept urging the servants driving the boat to go faster, faster!
The rumbling sound just now was too far away, and I could only see the rising black smoke, but not the true power of the firearm. Now that the navy is conducting landing operations, it will inevitably use that kind of firearms on a large scale. I have to get closer and watch, maybe I can see a little bit of the essence?
You know, he is the most outstanding iron smelter of the Hashem family...
When he set foot on the land of Fire Reef Island, the scene in front of him once again deeply shocked his soul!
The heavily armored heavy infantry were armed to the teeth. They landed one by one and marched towards the island in an orderly manner. There were also pirates resisting in the front, but their bows and arrows fell into the heavy infantry formation. Apart from a "dinging, clanging" chaos, there was no lethality at all. On the side of the Tang Army navy, they fired arrows from a distance, and when they got close, they threw a kind of black iron lump. After two rounds of attacks, when they rushed to the pirates' position, they were covered in arrows or covered with blood like a sieve. The pirates were rolling all over the ground and letting out shrill wails without any resistance at all.
The navy of the Tang Army waved their sharp swords, slaughtering the seriously injured and capturing the lightly injured, and slowly but surely pushed towards the depths of the island, invincible and irresistible...
Hussein was trembling with excitement. He saw with his own eyes that as long as the black iron lump was lit with a torch and then thrown onto the enemy's position, it would erupt with an earth-shattering sound and a puff of black smoke. , the fierce pirates will fall down piece by piece like wheat.
This is it!
This is what the descendants of Muhammad want!
As long as they have this thing, the Caliph's army can conquer the east and west, and let the glory of Muhammad shine throughout Arabia and the whole world! Turn all pagans into slaves...
The landing battle was time-consuming but uneventful.
The Tang Navy, armed to the teeth, advanced slowly, and all the pirates who resisted in front of them were wiped out.
An hour later, the Tang army rescued the Arab businessmen who were trapped in a cave...
When little Hussein saw his uncle, his pretty little face showed a smile. He seemed to have no fright or fear. He threw himself in front of his uncle with a smile and said: "I knew you would come to save me, my dear." Gadir.”
Yes, "Hussein"'s real name is Ghadir. Because he wanted to cover Ali's son Hussein, who was in the fleet, he deliberately called himself "Hussein" to confuse Medina. The enemy made others think that the leader of this fleet was a man named "Hussein"...
Gadir almost cried. He knelt at the feet of little Hussein, kissed his broken boots, and said excitedly: "My dear master, it is the mercy of Allah that protects your safety. The evil devil cannot harm you." You have nothing. Moreover, it is because of your guidance that I have found the weapon that the Arabs deserve most. As long as we have it, we will be invincible and convert all the infidels under the light of Muhammad. ”
The rumbling in his ears continued. Little Hussein's eyes were shining, sparkling with wisdom that did not match his age. He asked: "Is it this kind of weapon like thunder?"
Gadir said: "Yes, my master. You were robbed by pirates, and I had to find the navy of the Tang Dynasty. I paid the price of the sea chart and all the goods before begging them to send troops to rescue you. And this The commander of the navy is the maker of this weapon with the power of a god."
The fighting continued all around, but there were fewer and fewer pirates, and the roar of thunder gradually disappeared. Little Hussein stood there, his white robe already filthy, and his delicate face covered with dirt, but his thin body stood upright, his eyes were shining, and his temperament was actually noble and elegant.
He curled his lips slightly: "Then, please take me to see this commander-in-chief, and let the descendants of Muhammad have a good talk with him. The Hashemite family needs this kind of weapon."
Gadir kissed little Hussein's boots again, stood up, and led little Hussein onto the warship with a slight bow. As for the rest of the crew, his servants will naturally take care of them.
When little Hussein stood on Fang Jun's flagship, he raised his head high and looked at Fang Jun like a lord who looked down upon the world. His childish voice almost made Fang Jun furious. (End of chapter)
