Chapter 29: Rose's Black Powder (Ask for Recommendations)
The battle in Zhuxian County was tight, and Yue Fan's side was also waiting for a good opportunity to win Yuanzhou by surprise, and the moment the Ross army poured out, all the personnel in the trapped camp showed a knowing smile.
The opportunity to wait finally appeared, as long as Yuanzhou was recaptured, it would be equivalent to separating the two spaces, and those enemy troops attacking Zhuxian County would be dead or alive.
It's not that the camp underestimates the 10,000 defenders of Yuanzhou, even if the enemy army is five times more, they will not be mistaken, not to mention that the Ross defenders would never have dreamed that there are still small forces in Huaxia who dare to break ground on Tai Suiye, in their minds, everyone in the Xia Kingdom today is already in danger.
Counteroffensive?
There is a gap in its own combat power, coupled with this arrogant behavior, it is as common for Yuanzhou to change hands again.
Of course, in order not to cause a large-scale commotion, Yue Fan still ordered the camp to strike after dark, and the city gate dozens of zhang high could not help but trap the elite of the camp, they quietly entered Yuanzhou, and the sword light was light, and a human head flew out.
When the enemy army in Yuanzhou realized that the situation was critical, the trapping camp almost cleaned up Yuanzhou, killing two people on average with one trapping camp of ten, and there was no accident in this city-taking battle, and he easily took over Yuanzhou from the Rus defenders.
If someone knew that the 5,000 trapping camp led by Yue Fan would take a city without much effort, they would inevitably feel that they were talking about a dream, but this is the case, and they can't afford it.
But what Yue Fan didn't know was that after taking Yuanzhou, what was about to usher in was the main force of Ross's 1 million regular army, that was a later story, at least no one knew that Yuanzhou was in Yue Fan's hands now.
The commander of the Rus, Muris, was the sixth grade of cultivation, and commanded all matters related to the invasion of the Xia Kingdom, and the three regular armies were all deployed by him.
This person is not famous, but in the Rus Empire, it can be said that the sky is in full swing, and the barbarians of the Horqin steppe were wiped out by this person with the momentum of the wind and clouds.
The tenacity of Zhuxian County is beyond Muris's imagination, and after learning that the opponent is the generalissimo of the Xia State, and the second is the envoy of the Chang'an Festival, Song Que, he was immediately relieved, that is the mainstay of the Xia State, and if he wants to destroy the withering and take the Zhuxian County, he has to use strategic weapons.
The Rus Empire is bound to win the Xia State, the 900,000 regular army is just a pioneer force, and there will be a steady stream of main forces to supplement it in the future.
Seeing the situation, he didn't plan to continue the hard attack, seeing the withdrawal of the Rus army, Xia Lietian was puzzled, according to the crazy posture of the Rus Empire, even if he and Song Que desperately defended the city, they would hold on for three days at most, and after a long time, it would no longer be a battle to defend the city, but a field battle on the plains.
For no other reason, in the first round of fierce battles, the walls of Zhuxian County showed signs of cracking on the surface of the walls.
At this time, the Mulis Guards had already led an army of 100,000 on the way back to Yuanzhou.
......
Yuan Zhou, trapped in the camp accidentally found a batch of black iron balls in the military pants, smelling a sad smell of sulfuric acid, although it was a silent dead thing, but it couldn't help but be afraid.
After Yue Fan learned the news, he was quite puzzled in his heart, what is it worth making a fuss about? When he came to the military depot, he shouted out with emotion.
That iron ball is not a plaything, it's a special mother's bomb!
It is true that the workmanship and power are certainly far less powerful than the bombs of the 21st century, but in the other world, such a thing has never appeared in history, where did the Rus Empire come from?
"Lord, why are you so panicked?" Gao Shun didn't know why, he also had a sense of awe for the black iron ball, close to a certain distance, the hair stood on end, keep a distance, that feeling was gone, in his opinion, these things must be dangerous, so it's good not to get closer.
"You don't understand. Yue Fan waved his hand, and the cold air rushed from his heel to his head, if the 10,000 defenders used these bombs, even if the camp could take Yuanzhou, the losses would be extremely heavy.
What about spiritual cultivators? Yue Fan calculated, if there is no cultivation above the sixth grade, it is best not to go head-on with a hot weapon, unless he has a Xuanyu treasure body like him, otherwise the lack of arms and short legs is the creation blessed by the eighteenth generation of the ancestors.
No wonder the Rus Empire is crazy, with the help of bombs, and the strength of the army is still above the Xia Kingdom, who will not be able to open up the territory? But the question is...... Who developed black powder across the ages?
The Rus Empire is located in the bitter cold land of the extreme north of the other world, and in that environment, fighting against nature has developed a fierce spirit, and after the tempering of the environment, their physique is much better than that of normal people, and with the help of black powder, the ambition of the Rus Empire is not only the territory of the Xia Kingdom, but also the whole world.
Yue Fan, as a traverser, understands the principle of making gunpowder, but it seems that Xia Guo does not have the relevant materials to make gunpowder, and ...... He didn't think that relying on gunpowder could be used to give and beg, the mainstream of this world was still the spirit cultivator, and no matter how powerful the bomb was, it would be difficult to cause harm to the seven-grade spirit cultivator.
Unless nuclear weapons can be developed...... However, this kind of thing can't be brought out by ordinary traversers, the calculation density is too high, and it is not a person's workload that can be completed, Yue Fan is very self-aware, that thing is okay to think about, if he really lets him make it, it is a completely impossible task.
It is difficult for black powder to cause damage to cultivators above the sixth grade, but everyone knows that cultivators above the sixth grade are rare and cannot be found, so with a sufficient amount of black powder, it is not difficult to change a fierce battle of a million army.
Yue Fan swept around, and roughly estimated that the black powder in the military pants could almost kill 200,000 troops, and the 200,000 troops that could be blown up in a breath were wiped out.
"Two hundred thousand...... It seems that the Rus Empire has not reached the point of mass production!" Yue Fan's frowning brows stretched, if the amount of gunpowder in the Rus Empire was sufficient, then it would be a short battle with a short army?
"It's cheaper for me. Yue Fan's eyes lit up, he laughed a few times sadly, turned around and ordered Gao Shun to bury mines on a large scale on the road to Yuanzhou.
Regardless of whether the enemy army can conquer Zhuxian County or not, it is inevitable to return to Yuanzhou, such a powerful black powder, the Rus army is willing to abandon it?
As long as they dare to come, Yue Fan will let them taste the taste of their own specialty.
When Mulis arranged for the guards to return to Yuanzhou, it was to take away those black powders, and when Mulis was planning to attack the frontier fortress, he used black powder to directly lift the walls of the Xia Kingdom, causing unimaginable spiritual destruction to the Xia Kingdom.
Later, it was found that it only took two days to conquer the frontier fortress, and there was no waste of black powder, who would have thought that he would work hard for a few days and the commander of the Xia Kingdom, Jiedu Envoy, and the small Zhuxian County was solid, so it was better to sacrifice black powder to raze this small state and county to the ground.
