Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Sapper

"The warriors of the Rong tribe are good at fighting in the mountains and forests, I have other plans! I'm working on preparing something right now, and these Rong warriors will be of great use when the time comes!!" Xiang Yun explained seriously.

"But I don't think the dragon can wait that long!" Ye Chen said with some concern.

"During this time, Wang Chaohui has also been training soldiers, I believe that our Rong warriors should be able to help Wanzhou City for the time being, or I will transfer half of them here!" Murong Xue said with a frown.

"No! Don't move a single one, and if you believe me, hand over these Rong soldiers to me!" Xiang Yun said seriously.

Although Xiang Yun looked confident, the two still didn't understand what secrets Xiang Yun was hiding.

"Stinky boy, if you want to convince us, you must give us a valid reason!" Ye Chen asked a little uncontrollably.

"Ugh...... Come with me!"

Xiang Yun knew that if he didn't take out something, the two of them wouldn't believe it.

After all, neither of them had ever seen the power of the firecracker.

The two of them were then taken directly to the rear barracks.

Now the rest of the barracks are veterans who have broken their feet and arms and can't go to the battlefield.

I saw a veteran with a broken leg on a shooting range, who was sitting on a chair at the moment, practicing design against a target in the distance, and a veteran with a broken arm next to him was helping him load gunpowder at the moment.

Rumble!

A gunshot rang out, and the straw-made target in the distance was shot through directly!

This......

Ye Chen's eyes flashed, this kind of power, a hundred meters away, can directly shoot through everyone.

Murong Xue also looked at it in amazement.

"Brother, that day, in the City Lord's Mansion of Fuxing City, Wang Chaohui said What mysterious weapon did you use, could it be that this used 500 people to kill 2,000 Yuezhou troops?!"

"Yes, that's it, his name is Huogong, there are still 20,000 wounded soldiers left in the military camp, I have already organized them all, and if the soldiers of the Rong clan are also equipped with firearms, I believe that the danger of Wanzhou City can be solved!" Xiang Yun said in a deep voice.

"That...... Then I will transfer all the soldiers of the Rong tribe, and during this time, my Rong tribe also has nearly 50,000 soldiers!" Murong Xue said excitedly.

But Xiang Yun shook his head after hearing this.

"I don't have that many guns now, and I don't have that much gunpowder, this thing is very expensive, even if I sell my cloth shop, I can only prepare 10,000 guns!" Xiang Yun said in a deep voice.

10,000 ......

50,000 people can't match five people!

Moreover, the 20,000 wounded soldiers in this military camp have been equipped, which means that Xiang Yun no longer has any extra firearms on hand.

The Najon soldiers can't move yet, why?!

"Then what are you going to let these Rong soldiers do?!" Ye Chen asked directly.

"Be a sapper!"

"Senior Ye, in fact, the reason why this firearm is so powerful is because of the gunpowder in this chamber, if I have enough gunpowder, then I don't need any gunpowder, just use gunpowder to explode!" Xiang Yun explained seriously.

Then he explained to them what a sapper was!

During this time, Xiang Yun did raise a large amount of money after selling the shares of the cloth bank.

Then he transported all the craftsmen who helped him make firecrackers directly from the East China Sea to Fuzhou.

In the past, it took a lot of time to make 500 guns because of lack of skill, but now the previous abrasives are ready-made, and 10,000 guns are quickly made.

Then there was gunpowder.

Xiang Yun directly handed over this task to Lao Jia.

Let him go to saltpeter and brimstone, the two necessities of gunpowder.

I thought it would be hard to find.

But I didn't expect Lao Jia to have news in half a day, and it was very close, just at the junction of Wanzhou and Fuzhou, there are two mountain ranges, where the valley is deep, a whole saltpeter mountain, and under the saltpeter mountain is a sulfur lake.

Xiang Yun immediately went to the local area to investigate, only to find that this is one

A sleeping crater.

Looking at the inexhaustible supply of saltpeter and sulfur, there is no shortage of gunpowder.

Xiang Yun suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Sapper!

Find someone to secretly mine these saltpeters and sulfur, and then learn the local methods of the Red Army uncle in the previous life, and make mines and explosives bags.

And this sapper, the Rong warriors are the most suitable candidates, they are familiar with the mountains and forests, this kind of mining is trivial, if you plant a mine, throw an explosive bag, it is not a problem.

Now, if there are 50,000 Rong warriors, within a month, tens of thousands, not to mention mines, tens of thousands of explosives packs!

A night raid can kill them all if they are thrown into the rebels!

It is conceivable that tens of thousands of explosive bags are thrown out together, even hundreds of thousands of troops are estimated to be unable to carry it!

Of course, Xiang Yun's knowledge is not strong enough to develop a cannon, otherwise......

"Good! Brother, it's up to you, you tell me the place, and I'll order Wang Chaohui to bring someone there! If 50,000 is not enough, I will mobilize another 100,000!" As soon as Murong Xue heard Xiang Yun's plan, she immediately expressed her approval.

In fact, this will minimize the casualties of their Rong warriors, and of course she is willing to agree.

"Let's talk about this later, you go back and let Wang Chaohui come to me, and I'll tell him in detail how to operate!" Xiang Yun knew that this kind of training was needed, and he had half-baked knowledge, so he still had to explore it slowly.

Don't be in a hurry!

"Yes...... The problem is still not solved, Wanzhou City, what to do over there, the reinforcements from Yuezhou, Wuzhou, and Xiliang are increasing, and the soldiers of Wanzhou City over there are also constantly being consumed! I'm afraid of dragons and won't last long!" Ye Chen still asked the key question.

"Yes, brother, although your method is very good, and you can also defeat the enemy with one move, but this time is still too long! I'm afraid the old man won't be able to wait that long!" Murong Xue also echoed.

Xiang Yun sighed.

The truth is this truth, but if he is allowed to solve the danger of Wanzhou City at once, there is only this way.

But time waits for no one!

"Now around this Southern Regions, where is there still the army of Great Chu that can support Long Shuai, if there is, I'm afraid only Han Xin will be the only one!"

"Why don't we go find Han Shin?!"

Xiang Yun touched his chin and pondered.

"Hehe, you kid looking for him, isn't it almost like death, you forgot, how did he want to kill you, and, don't forget, I also stabbed him!" Ye Chen sneered.

"Ugh...... Also, forget about this stubble!" Xiang Yun scratched his head in embarrassment.

But at this time, Murong Xue said, "Maybe it's okay, you forget, we may not be able to borrow soldiers, but there are two people, but we can borrow soldiers!"

"Who?!"

Xiang Yun asked with some confusion, but then he immediately thought of it.

"You mean, that Great Elder Murong Fu and Murong Guang?! But are they willing to help?!"

"Maybe, I can try!" Murong Xue smiled mysteriously.
