Hanzhong.

In addition to the slow response of Zhao Ben and the local officials of the Qin State under his rule, and the lack of reinforcements due to the aggravation of the frost disaster, it was also because there was a clever military commander among the displaced people.

Lu Ze.

In the past, there were a number of generals under the command of Liu Bang, the king of Han, and after fleeing for nearly two years, he finally returned to Hanzhong again, the place where Liu Bang once fought.

Among the men of the Lu family, Lu Ze's military talent was the most outstanding, and among the generals of the Han army, Lu Ze's performance was not inferior to Li Shang, Zhou Bo and others.

It's just that after the defeat of the Han army and retreating to Nanjun, Lu Ze's talent no longer has room to play, three warships escaped from Yingdu, and were robbed and killed by the thief Yingbu in the river, Lu Ze is still inferior to Yingbu, as for the one who defected to Chen Yu, because of Chen Yu's distrust, Lu Ze's men were full of 3,000 men, and in the battle of more than 100,000 people, Lu Ze was silent.

This time, Lü Pheasant and the Ying clan succeeded in inciting the homeless and Qiang people to riot in Hanzhong, which was inseparable from Lü Ze's strong support in the dark, and the leaders of the homeless people were sent to Lü Ze for training, and the short teaching made these homeless leaders even more crazy in the next raids.

Having their own Liliang and building a Lu family army that truly belongs to the Lu family is a choice made by Lu Ze and Lu Pheasant after learning from the pain, and the armed forces of the displaced people in front of them are their greatest expectations.

In the brutal killing, let the fierce soldiers stand out, only by letting these homeless men have the blood of the Qin people on their hands, they will follow them with all their hearts.

Capture the frustrated sailors.

Lu Ze is bound to win.

Lu Ze now, the most important thing is soldiers, the women of the Qiang nationality are all big feet, can carry heavy objects, as long as they can run. It was also lobbied and mobilized by Lu Pheasant and others, and what was most lacking was weapons. Originally, Lu Ze thought that there was only one military division guarded by more than 250 military marquis, and as long as he attacked in one round, he would be able to take it smoothly, but the reality surprised him.

He was surprised by the tenacity of the soldiers, these local county soldiers, who were not even the second-line troops in the Qin army, burst out with unusual combat power, and what surprised Lu Ze even more was that these guards also used a mysterious weapon that he had never seen before.

This kind of thing, which is called "heavenly fire" by the homeless people, makes people talk about it differently.

It disappeared without a trace.

The enemy only needs to light the fire. A long piece of hemp rope is then used to guide the clay pot into pieces, and the solid clay pot can be blown to pieces, and the gravel and sharp iron-making impurities contained in it will scatter into the human body, making the soldiers who are hit miserable.

Thankfully, these clay pots aren't all useful, and more often than not, they're just a false alarm.

――。

Peng Sheng cried with a sad face, and looked at the messy clay pots in the room, on the wall outside. There was also a pile of nitrate that had been dug up nearly half, a pile of charcoal, and a push of brimstone.

The nitrate is produced on the Meridian Ridge behind it, the sulfur is also the same, and the charcoal is left over from the fire made by the soldiers, these things were originally one of the raw materials for Peng Sheng's private refining of Danfang. Although he left Shu County and Peng Zu's inheritance, Peng Sheng did not give up these things he liked.

What's more, Peng Sheng is not alone now. Beside him, there were also several like-minded monks who were studying the Dan Fang with him.

Of course, this kind of research is carried out in secret.

The invention of black powder. As expected, and unexpectedly, as its inventor, Peng Sheng, a former alchemist, is still a little confused.

In fact, after he surrendered to the Qin State, Li Yuan once asked him some questions about alchemy in detail, and at that time he thought that Li Yuan was going to investigate the fact that the First Emperor took a fake "elixir" and died violently, so he didn't dare to say anything more when answering?

Peng Sheng actually didn't know that he had missed an extremely important opportunity, if he could tell the alchemy in detail in front of Li Yuan, maybe his identity would no longer be the craftsman of the frustrated soldiers, but the actual person in charge of the Great Qin Scientific Research Institute, of course, this institution still only exists in Li Yuan's mind, whether there is a chance to be established, it depends on whether Peng Sheng and his group of partners give it their best.

Although Peng Sheng was half-witted, Li Yuan did not give up, he simply handed over the brief formula of "one point of sulfur, two parts of nitrate, and three points of charcoal" to Peng Sheng, hoping that black powder could appear in this time and space one day in advance.

Gunpowder.

It is an important symbol of the era of cold weapons and the era of hot weapons.

Even the power of black powder is completely different from that of later generations of TNT.

Peng Sheng, on the other hand, didn't know what the pill Li Yuan gave him was for, and he thought it was a prescription for studying the elixir of immortality.

Until one day, the explosion suddenly blew Peng Sheng into a disgraced face, if it wasn't for the lack of precision in the proportion, his life would be an explanation.

It was only at this time that Peng Sheng began to wake up from his fantasy, and what Li Yuan handed him was not an elixir prescription at all, but a Tianhuo prescription that could develop a large-scale killing.

The arrival of the displaced people's armed forces made Peng Sheng remember that he still had this kind of killer weapon in his hand in addition to panic, and after several trials, although the heavenly fire was not stable enough, its power still made Peng Sheng feel sideways.

As long as the clay pot is buried in the designated place, and then a fire line soaked in oil is placed along the ground, the fire at this end will go straight to the center of the clay pot along the oil line, and when the time comes, there will be a bang, and those who are in the center, no matter how powerful, will be blown to death and injured.

――。

Meng Hu led the army day and night.

The frozen mountain road was unusually slippery, and even after being widened and remodeled, the winter slope was a severe test for any advancing army, and what was even more dangerous was that Meng Hu ordered a quick march with torches at night.

The news of the siege of the Liukou and the Fushui Bingzao came, which made Meng Hu keenly feel that it was extraordinary, this group of Liukou was definitely not a small fight, or just to kill the officials of the Qin State and seize the county town for a bite of food, their goal was to overthrow the rule of the Qin State in Hanzhong, and their spearhead had been pointed at the weapons of the Bingzao.

Once the rogue is allowed to break through the army.

Meng Hu could not have imagined that a gang of rogues armed with armor and weapons would be even more difficult to deal with at that time. Therefore, even if the road is difficult and dangerous, he must speed up the march. (To be continued......)
