As of now, what the gunpowder made by Li Xin can do is temporarily just this fixed-point blast.

Firstly, it was because he did it secretly and only made "prototype" gunpowder. As for the various hot weapons derived from gunpowder, firstly, he had no time to think about it, secondly...

Neither will he.

He was an ordinary white-collar worker in his previous life. It would be great if he could barely remember the rumor of 1 sulphur, 2 sulphur, 2 sulphur, 2 charcoal, and he could not have made more things himself.

As for the weaponization of gunpowder, if he wants to continue trying, he needs to gather a large number of craftsmen around him before he can continue. However, for the moment, this situation is not realistic.

Because this is his last trump card, he is not going to give this thing heartily to the "His Royal Highness of Wei", so he has to hide it from Emperor Taikang himself. However, at present, he does not have his own stall, so it is unlikely in a short period of time.

Moreover, gunpowder is not omnipotent. At this stage, it has many restrictions. Only in specific places like Mianzhu can miraculous effects be achieved, and its power is not enough to crush.

After all, the enemy cannot stand still and explode for you like Mianzhu City.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Xin got the 50,000 people in Nanshu. After all, it must have a certain base. With the golden fingers of "gunpowder", Li Xin can obtain the capital to fight against the Jin court.

But to say that, Li Xin didn't want to take the initiative to turn against the Emperor Taikang.

First, it is because the difficulty of rebellion is too high, and second, it is because it is too tired.

He can already be easily lords and has no need to be a thief.

After seeing Mianzhu breaking the city, Li Xin turned around and returned to his handsome tent. Zhao Jia followed Li Xin with all his steps. After sitting down in the handsome tent, Zhao Youan took several deep breaths.

His expression on his look at Li Xin was very complicated.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Marty, I am afraid the court will not believe your Tianlei statement..."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "So what if the court doesn't believe it? Do they think it's my Li Xinyong's palm that exploded the city gate?"

Zhao Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Marquis, this is not what my subordinate means. What my subordinate means is that if this statement is reasonable, we must make more preparations here."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia paused and said slowly: "First of all, you can find a Taoist priest to come out and walk around the military camp so that the soldiers can see him. Of course, this credit cannot be given to him. He told the court that he was a wandering Taoist priest, and he left immediately after he came."

"After that, the people you sent to do, Marquis, must communicate with them one by one. If nothing unexpected happens, the court will definitely ask them after returning to the capital..."

Li Xin frowned slightly.

To be honest, he didn't think about so many details, and there was no need to make such details, because he would believe whatever the court said in this war. Even if the court did not believe it secretly, it would have to follow Li Xin's words on the surface.

Zhao Jia's approach is to make this lie come true. Although doing this is a bit guilty, it is not impossible.

At least it can make more people believe it.

Thinking of this, Marquis Jing'an nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Then let Brother You'an do these things. Since you have done them, don't have any mistakes."

Zhao Jia lowered his head slightly and was about to retreat.

Seeing that his expression was a little wrong, Li Xin waved his hand and frowned.

"Those who really want to attract "Tian Thunder" are all my trusted brothers who have been with me for many years. It is unlikely that they will talk too much."

"Brother You'an, don't be tempted to kill them."

Zhao Jia was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly, lowered his head and said, "I... I understand."

……………………

The reason why it is difficult to attack the city is because the city gate or the city wall is difficult to break. As long as the city wall is broken, it is often a crushing advancement.

However, there are still many defenders in Mianzhu City, which is probably equivalent to a Zhechong Mansion on the Imperial Army. Therefore, even if Mianzhu City breaks down, it still has to fight hard.

But no matter how hard the fight is, at least both sides are in an equal position, rather than Li Xin's side being passively beaten.

Under Ye Mao's leadership, the three Zhechong Mansions sent 5,000 people to Mianzhu City.

The defenders of Mianzhu City were originally led by a lieutenant general of the Pingnan Army, but after the deputy general Cheng Ping led his troops to reinforce the place, he took over Mianzhu City. At this time, Fatty Cheng was led by Mianzhu City.

Although Cheng Ping looks a bit bloated, he is the No. 3 or No. 4 of Pingnan Army. Because of his smooth work, when Li Xin and others first arrived in the southwest as military commanders, Fatty Cheng was responsible for "reception".

At that time, Fatty Cheng played many clumsy siege scenes for Li Xin.

At this time, he was facing a serious siege.

After Ye Mao's troops entered Mianzhu, they immediately divided into three routes and slowly advanced along the three main roads in Mianzhu.

The process of advancing was extremely resolute. Ye Mao personally made the "spear tip" of the spear, and in one go, it had already advanced halfway by midnight.

In other words, they have already occupied half of Mianzhu.

At this time, Ye Mao, who was rushing in front, was already wet all over his body.

It's not all sweat, but more about the enemy's blood.

This young master has also suffered a lot of injuries, but it is all flesh and blood. In the eyes of Mr. Ye, who was beaten up by Ye Sheng since childhood, it seems that it is almost no different from scratching.

He was still standing in front of the spear.

Opposite him was Fatty Cheng with a pale face.

This fat man was originally dealing with military affairs at his residence, but suddenly he heard his subordinates report that the city gate was broken!

At that time, he thought that the Pingnan Army, who was guarding the city, had surrendered to the court. Later, after asking in detail, he realized that it was really "the city gate was broken."

The gate of Mianzhu City was directly exploded by something unknown.

Following closely behind was the imperial imperial guards' fierce advance. The Pingnan Army lost its momentum because the city gate was bombed, so it retreated step by step until it retreated to the center of the city.

The young master Ye Mao wrapped his hands with a blank expression on his face, and then carefully wiped the blood from the gun.

This is done to prevent slippage.

While wiping the gun, he looked up at Fatty Cheng not far away.

In front of the two, there were personal guards holding shields, for fear that the opponent would injure their general with hidden arrows.

Ye Mao finally wiped the gun body clean and he grinned.

"Your Excellency, is Cheng Ping, who is known as the southwest pillar?"

Cheng Ping waved his hand to let the shield hand in front of him disperse, then took a deep breath.

"You recognize this general?"

Ye Mao smiled even happier.

"I don't recognize it, I just heard my uncle talk about General Cheng's figure. I saw it today, so I asked."

Cheng Ping frowned slightly.

"Your uncle...?"

Ye Mao threw the cloth that was rubbing the gun aside and raised his head slightly.

"My uncle is Li Chang'an, the Marquis of Jing'an."

"Ningling Ye Mao, please give me advice from General Cheng!"

Even in the era of cold weapons, it is unrealistic for both sides to fight against generals. Ye Mao said this, not to fight Cheng Ping alone, but to say that the truth will be seen on the battlefield.

Cheng Ping was sitting on the horse, but after hearing this, he immediately turned over and dismounted and bowed to Ye Mao.

"So it's my husband's descendant."

"I'm disrespectful."

In the entire Great Jin Dynasty, few people disrespect Ye Sheng, especially those in the ranks.

After Cheng Pingxingli, he took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.

"I will be ordered by me. From now on, if anyone who takes a step back from the Pingnan Army will immediately kill you!"

Ye Mao on the other side slowly raised the spear in his hand, and his voice was low.

"Brothers, the most difficult gate of Mianzhu City has been broken, and everything in front of you is full of credit!"

"It's right in front of you that you will get promoted and make money, and you will be granted a wife and a son!"
