Chapter 918: A World of Difference
After one defeat, the Huns immediately changed their strategy. The Xiongnu claimed to be the descendants of the wolf god, and they themselves had wolf nature, greedy, cunning, insidious, ferocious and other wolf qualities were vividly displayed in the Huns. The birth of Shan Yu is the same as the birth of the wolf king, as long as you have the strength and means, no matter what method you use to kill Lao Shan Yu, then the new Shan Yu will naturally be yours, and others will only surrender if they have no doubts. Therefore, King Juntun is not without ideas about Shan Yu's throne, but now Yi Zhixie's strength is stronger.
Luan Da timely aroused the ambition of the king of Juntun, so he naturally had to plan a way to let Juntun obey. The two of them had a secret discussion in the big tent all night, during which two soldiers who accidentally passed by the big tent were hacked to death on the spot by the personal guards of the king of Tuntou. No one knew who King Juntun was talking to, and no one knew what King Juntun and Luan Da were talking about. When the sun rose the next day, there was still only one king in the big tent of King Juntun.
The fiasco was like an infectious disease, and when King Wu Jian worked hard to return to the camp with the remnants of the Zuo battalion, the entire camp was silent. This was the second crushing defeat accepted by the Xiongnu after the last Battle of Mayi. Although the damage was relatively light, the intimidating feeling hung over the top of the Huns' heads. Like the little trick of King Juntun, the Huns didn't know what secret methods the Han people used, at least no one could say clearly.
King Wu Jian threw a black, fist-sized object to the ground: "It is said that this is the thing, I found it in a puddle, don't go near the source of fire, and I don't know if it will explode." ”
A frightened young general hurriedly threw the thing at the entrance of the big tent, and kept rubbing his hands with palpitations. Ashi Nabu walked over and picked it up, and looked at it over and over for a long time: "Just such a small piece, can it have so much power?" ”
"General Ashi can try."
"How do I try?"
King Wu Jian shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, it's just a matter of burning it with fire." ”
Before the time of tea, the square outside the camp was piled up with a pile of dried cow dung more than a foot high. Ashi Nabe stood far away with the black thing in his hand, and a small flame began to burn, slowly burning until the whole pile of cow dung turned into a bonfire. There was a large crowd of people standing around the camp gate, and everyone was far away, except for Ashnabu who stood at the front.
Chuck Qi shrank behind Daddy, vigilantly looking at Ashi Nabu and the fire in front of him, he knew the power of this thing, so he was even more afraid. King Juntun had a huge bunker built with a round shield, revealing only his eyes to watch the movements of Ashinabu. The fire grew bigger and bigger, and Ashi Nabu always stood there quietly, he regretted doing this a little, and even more regretted it when he saw the Zuoying people brought back by King Wujian.
No one urged, everyone watched quietly. Ash gritted his teeth, looked left and right, and suddenly threw the thing in his hand into the flames, turned around and ran back like a fly. It's a pity that I was still a step too late, and as soon as I took a leg, I heard a loud explosion behind me. The air waves carried the unextinguished cow dung and flew in all directions, and some camped hard and landed on the tents and set them on fire; Some fell into the crowd and brought a round of exclamation.
Ashi Nabu was lifted by the air waves, and he couldn't get up after a pestle into the muddy pond for half a day. A piece of burning cow dung on his back burned through his clothes and flesh to his flesh with a sizzling sound. Ashi rolled and twisted his body vigorously, and finally extinguished the flames on his back, but a large piece of his skin had already been burned to char.
King Juntun took a breath of cool air and turned his head to look at King Wu Jian: "It's really powerful!" It's just that this king already knows what this thing is made of, and after a while, he will let the Han people taste the power of this thing. ”
"Oh? You know? ”
King Juntun smiled slightly, and returned to the big tent with his minions.
Seeing thirty steps away from oneself and seeing thirty miles away are two completely different feelings. Seeing that thing explode with your own eyes and being swept away by a wave of air in a panic are also two different feelings. When the explosion sounded, there were already people prostrate on the ground kowtowing to the pile of dried cow dung, and some were even ready to wait for the king to return and secretly pick up a piece of cow dung and take it home to worship.
Although the Xiongnu had a strong physique, they were still in the age of ignorance, and their understanding of nature was very limited, and those things that could not be explained by their simple wisdom would be classified by them as the masterpieces of the gods. The wind, so; Rain, so; This black thing is just one more.
The high priest was invited to the big tent by the king of Juntun: "High priest, what do you think that thing was made of?" ”
The high priest shook his head: "I can't see it, it should be given to the Han people by the gods!" "In the past, the high priest would never say such a thing, I don't know when it began, the high priest always brought out some sighs for the Han people, intentionally or unintentionally. That's why Yi Zhixian disliked him more and more, and sent the high priest to the front.
"Hahaha......" King Juntun laughed: "You have all been deceived by the Han people, didn't you smell anything else just now?" ”
Ashi Nabu was the closest and suffered the most damage, and at this time he was being stripped naked by two priests and drugged his back: "Huh? It does smell like it's burnt! It's not that my back is burned, it's that it smells of charcoal. ”
One of the priests also frowned: "In addition to the charcoal, there seems to be a sulfur smell, which is very faint, and you can't smell it if you don't pay attention." ”
King Juntun nodded: "You two are right, but there is one less thing, that thing is just charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter smashed into an iron shell, and I also know that to make that thing, you need one saltpeter, two sulfur, and seven charcoal." ”
Before King Juntun's words were finished, everyone looked at him with inexplicable surprise on their faces. They don't understand how King Juntun, a short-tempered, irregular, laughing and scolding guy, knows the secrets of the Han people, which is completely different from the style of King Juntun!
King Wu Jian was surprised for the shortest time: "How did you know?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this." King Juntun did not deal with King Wujian, but said to the high priest: "From today onwards, according to this recipe, send your people to find three things, let's also build this earth-shattering thunder, the more the better!" ”
Su Ren was looking at Tiao Chen in the lobby, this is a brief summary of the situation of the army that Han Qing has dealt with in the recent period, as the supreme commander of the army, he must always know the situation of his army. Huo Qu's illness has been out for two months, and there has not been a trace of news coming back, which makes Su Ren very worried. Looking at the pitiful report of the cavalry battalion, Su Ren frowned.
Suddenly, an explosion came from a long distance, Su Ren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up and ran out, standing on a high wall, looking for the source of the explosion sound. Lei Fu, Liu Jian, Li Cheng, Han Qing and others also ran out, and when they came out, Su Ren and Mo Yu had been standing on the wall for a long time.
"What is this sound? Why does it sound so familiar? Ray was held against the female wall, his eyes wide open to find the source of the explosion.
"It sounds far away, it should be in the direction of the Hun camp." Han Qing carefully identified it.
Liu Jian hurriedly looked at the grassland in the distance: "Why is there only one voice?" The Huns also made our thing? Could it be that there is a mole around us? With one hand on the hilt of his sword, he looked around vigilantly. There are not many people who know about it, and they are all on the wall at this time, and if there is a traitor, it must be among them.
"Damn, don't let Lao Tzu know who it is, wait until you catch the skinning cramps!" Ray was yelled at viciously.
Su Ren stopped talking to Mo Yu and smiled: "There is only one sound, then it means that it was not made by the Huns themselves, it should have been picked up from Hook Ridge, we must have used too much that time, and it is not strange that one or two did not explode." ”
"I see!" Liu Jian put away his sword at this time, and suddenly said: "Then will the Huns do it themselves?" With our stuff, you can just cut it open and know what's inside. ”
"Yes!" Lei was nodded heavily: "The Huns have discovered our secret, then we have to change some plans, we can't wait for the Huns to create that thing to use against us, it will be inappropriate!" General, in the opinion of the last general, we should take advantage of the present time to immediately send troops to fight the Huns by surprise. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, troops should be sent!" The crowd echoed it.
Han Qing glanced at Su Ren: "It's too appropriate to send troops now, let's wait and see." ”
Su Ren also waved his hand and said: "Don't be excited, don't worry, in fact, before Mo Gongzi and they set off, General Ben had already expected that there would be such a day, General Ben was hoping that the Huns would make a large number of them, only if they put all their minds on this, then we will win this battle." ”
King Juntun and King Wu Jian were very concerned about the progress of the high priest's work. The purpose of the King of Juntun is to urge the High Priest to speed up, no matter what the cost, he must create a heaven-shaking thunder as soon as possible, and the more the better. King Wu Jian simply wanted to see if King Juntun's recipe was true.
In order to supervise the creation of the earth-shaking thunder this time, the king of Juntun specially drew a place at the back of the camp. They knew the power of that thing, so they were more worried about whether the High Priest would accidentally blow up the entire camp.
A puff ......of black smoke rose into the sky, emitting a choking smell that quickly diffused throughout the tent. King Juntun looked at it for a long time from behind a big rock, and after making sure that there was no more danger, he walked over step by step: "This is the earth-shaking thunder?" How can it only smoke and not explode? ”
The High Priest sighed: "It's always been like this, we tried it several times and couldn't explode at all!" ”
The generals, junior generals, and pawns who were hiding everywhere one after another all walked out, looking at the King of Juntun with puzzled expressions, hoping to hear the words that shocked them again from the mouth of the King of Juntun. But today they miscalculated, this time the king of Juntun also frowned, looked at the high priest, gritted his teeth several times, and finally chose to be silent.
