Mengzhu Ridge is a large mountain range, and its northern name is called Jiuzhi Mountain Range, but during the Qin Dynasty, there was no name Jiuzhi Mountain.

Bai Zhong led the troops for five or six days, passing through the northern part of the Mengzhu Ridge, and then passing through the Dupang Ridge, and soon came to the edge of the Xiangshui River, which was also the starting point of the excavation of the Lingqu in later generations.

Their infantry, got here on foot.

There are also some sailors in Qianzhong, preparing dozens of ships to send the things that Bai Zhong needs, as well as grain and grass, to this place by water, waiting for the Ling Canal to be navigated.

Bai Zhong decided to camp on the west bank of Xiangshui, just below a mountain range called Yuechengling.

In these areas, there are many mountains and complex terrain.

However, Bai Zhong has that world map, and it is not very troublesome to identify the location.

"I'm going to call this canal a spiritual canal."

Bai Zhong took Shi Lu and came to the edge of Xiangshui together, and said, "How is Shaofu going to excavate?" I don't know anything about this, it's up to you. ”

Shi Lu said: "I need to go through all the nearby terrain before I can determine the route of the excavation, and before that, I want to take a look at the tools that Wu Anjun is preparing to dig the canal." ”

"Tomorrow morning, I will accompany Shaofu to take a trip around the neighborhood to determine the direction of the Ling Canal."

Bai Zhong said and clapped his hands.

Yuan Hong behind him understood, and asked people to push a cart, which was covered with cloth, and he didn't know what was inside.

That day, Bai Zhong will be on fire. The method of making the medicine was handed over to Yuan Hong, and the people of their Mo family had a strong hands-on ability, and they quickly tossed out the fried that Bai Zhong wanted. Medicine, although the power and effect, compared with later generations, are far from the latter, but it is enough to blow up some, more difficult to dig stones, etc.

"What is this?"

Shi Lu asked curiously.

Bai Zhong lifted the cloth, and all that was in it was fried. Medicine, the production is very simple, is to put the fire. The medicine is filled into a bamboo tube and compacted, and with the current level of science and technology, it is impossible to make a particularly good firearm.

"Fried. Medicine? ”

It was the first time Shi Lu had heard this word.

"Yuanhong, you can show it to Shaofu."

Bai Zhong did not explain, because actual actions are more convincing than explanations.

Yuan Hong saw that there was a boulder in the mountain next to him, and commanded: "Move it out and stuff it under that stone." ”

A few soldiers, moved several bombs. medicine in the past.

"Shaofu, let's go back and stay as far away from that stone as possible, otherwise there will be danger."

Bai Zhong said.

Shi Lu was puzzled, but still followed Bai Zhong and retreated.

After retreating for more than three hundred steps, Bai Zhong gave Yuan Hong a gesture and asked him to light the fuse.

"Let's go!"

After Yuan Hong lit it, he led the soldiers to run to Bai Zhong's side.

As soon as they walked to Bai Zhong's position, a loud "boom" appeared in front of them, only to see firelight splashing everywhere, rubble flying around, and smoke and dust filling the entire valley.

The other gravel on the valley was shaken down by the explosion, and the animals on the mountain were so frightened that they ran around, and the birds chirped and flew into the sky in horror, I don't know how shocked.

Shi Lu and the others were defenseless, they were so frightened that they almost sat on the ground, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

"This, this, this ......"

He didn't know how to describe the shock at the moment.

When the smoke receded, Shi Lu hurriedly walked forward, and a pungent smell of sulfur rushed towards him, but he didn't care, just stared at the blasted stone, stunned.

How big the stone was, he could see just now.

Why did it become gravel after the loud noise, what kind of immortal means is this?

"May I ask Wu Anjun, are you an immortal?"

Shi Lu asked in surprise.

If they didn't use the word immortal, they wouldn't have been able to explain what had just happened.

It's so unreal!

Bai Zhong explained: "Of course I am not an immortal, these are the newly developed weapons of our Mo family, which can not only open mountains and crack rocks, but also kill enemies, is it not very suitable to assist in digging spiritual canals?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Shi Lu affirmed, and at the same time was very surprised by the Mo family.

The Mo family still had such a weapon in their hands, which amazed all of them.

If this weapon is used to fight, who else will be Daqin's opponent in the future? He finally understood where Wu Anjun's self-confidence came from.

"Beloved, what's going on?"

Yingshu and the others heard the shocking sound and hurriedly walked over, thinking that something strange had happened.

Ren Huan said: "Wu Anjun, was it thunder just now?" ”

Bai Zhong explained again: "We are trying out a new weapon, it's not thunder, it's nothing to happen, does Yuan Hong have any other tools that are easy to excavate?" ”

They were curious about what the new weapon was, and they had never seen it, but before they could ask again, Yuan Hong asked people to bring some tools for digging and transporting the soil.

It's just made according to the Mohist technique, some ordinary tools.

Yuan Hong also showed it in front of Shi Lu.

"Yes, it's all good."

Shi Lu's eyes lit up, the Mo family's idea was really powerful.

After displaying the tools, Wang Li happened to run over and said, "Wu Anjun, we found a group of people from Yuyue, who were sneakily approaching in the south to investigate, and after being discovered by our scouts, they turned around and ran. ”

Ruyue is a country made up of many tribes, the largest of which is Xiou.

Not long after they came, Luo Yue sent people to investigate, and it was possible that the spirit canal had not been dug yet, and they would have to fight with the tribe of Baiyue.

"Ann is waiting to go south, follow the enemy's trail, and find out where their tribe is."

Bai Zhong commanded.

Hearing that someone from Yue Yue was coming to investigate, the military camp quickly became vigilant.

However, the enemy's scouts came and went quickly, and after a while they were gone without a shadow.

They were more familiar with the nearby mountainous terrain than anyone in the Qin army, and as long as they wanted to hide, it was not easy to find, causing the scouts of the Qin army to come back with nothing.

The tribes of Yuyue only sent scouts to investigate, and did not attack and harass.

It's quiet outside.

"Wu Anjun, our scouts can't find an enemy at all."

Wang Li came back and said.

Bai Zhong ordered: "The whole army continues to be on guard and beware of night attacks. ”

Now that the enemy has appeared, the Qin army cannot relax, and dozens of scouts have been sent out, but the Qin army is not familiar with the local area, which has become the biggest restriction.

To prevent being attacked by the enemy, Bai Zhong did not dare to let the scouts go too deep.

At night.

Three watches.

Knock knock knock......

The sound of war drums resounded throughout the barracks.

Bai Zhong and Ying Shu, who had not yet slept, immediately picked up their weapons and walked out of the tent, only to see the torches in the barracks lit up, and the soldiers' weapons unsheathed, ready for battle.

"Wu Anjun, outside the camp, dozens of torches are lit up, and they are constantly approaching, so I let people beat the drums."

Geng Wu came over and explained, worried that the enemy was coming, and everyone was on guard.
