Knowing what Ying Xuan meant, the king of the Yue clan could only grit his teeth and lead the army to the top again.

This time, however, they hadn't rushed to the front yet.

A flood of crossbow arrows covered the entire city.

The eastern wall of the city was almost instantaneous.

The silver-armored cavalry on the north side stepped on the corpse of the heavy cavalry and rushed straight into the wide open gate.

The city of Mardan was thrown into complete chaos.

All the people wanted to flee.

The phalanx on the south side of the 300,000-strong army is rapidly encircled.

Except for some who escaped early.

All of them were blocked back.

After that, there was no major revolt.

It's just that the heavy cavalry recklessly rushed through the city and killed two back and forth.

Everything calmed down.

The people of the Kingdom of Bactria all hid in the room.

No one dared to stand on the street anymore.

The 300,000-strong army began to enter the city, and the soldiers of the city wall consciously laid down their weapons one by one.

The king of the Yue clan outside the city finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the face of Ying Xuan's unpredictable psychology, his pressure was too great.

Fortunately, Ying Xuan was only confirming their loyalty, and did not really intend to let them be extinct.

Follow Ying Xuan to the city.

Antiochus III and Osidmus had already been escorted to the front by the soldiers.

Looking at the young face in front of him.

Antiochus III couldn't believe it.

He didn't expect that the emperor who controlled such a large army.

It turned out to be a young man younger than himself.

He called himself a young king, succeeded to the dynasty at the age of eighteen, and began his expedition at the age of twenty.

Unexpectedly, he lost the first battle to a person who was younger and stronger than himself.

The soldiers at their sides are rewarding their status.

Ying Xuan was slightly surprised.

Attack a small country of Batkeria.

And by the way, you can catch a big fish?

The territory of the Seleucid dynasty was not small.

If you remember correctly, it should have stretched from Afghanistan in the east to near Syria in the west.

It faces the countries of Western Europe across the sea.

With him in hand, it is equivalent to having a handle to restrain the west side.

Ying Xuan was slightly thoughtful.

It was decided to leave this person to the Yue clan.

After all, the Yue Clan did suffer huge casualties in this battle.

There was a near-complete loss of military capability.

If you want to gain a foothold in this strange land, you must have some means.

Moreover, this place will be rewarded to them as clan land, and Yingxuan will not leave too many troops.

Batkeria is not small, and he has stationed an army of 50,000 at a critical moment, and the rest depends on the development of the Yue clan people.

As the army continued to advance westward, the defenseless cities along the way soon fell.

The whole of Batkeria was incorporated into the territory of Great Qin in one day.

Ying Xuan was in the capital, announcing that the entire kingdom was included in Great Qin and renamed Guishan County.

Given to the Kushan clan as a clan land!

The words fell, and the remaining 40,000 Moon Clan people gathered in the crowded streets.

The King of the Yue Clan stood in front of him, excited and uncontrollable.

"Great Qin Guishan Clan, thank Emperor Tianyu for his gift!"

"The Guishan clan, forever loyal to Daqin!"

Behind him, the Kushan people also fell to the ground and shouted one by one.

"Guishan people, forever loyal to Daqin!"

Ying Xuan finally let out a sigh when he looked at this scene.

Daqin no longer has an external crisis.

Now it's time to go back and deal with those internal pitfalls.

By the way, we will carry out reforms and streamline and optimize the national framework of the First Emperor.

The most important thing is that technology must be developed.

Otherwise, just the back and forth between Wang Ting and Xianyang would take nearly dozens of days day and night.

It takes more than a few months to reach the Indochina Peninsula in the south.

This is too slow, and we have to find a way.

Ying Xuan didn't stay long.

The follow-up rectification and the class policy between Guishan and the locals were handed over to Zhang Lianghou.

He led the army back to China again.

The grain, grass and forage of hundreds of thousands of troops is still a heavy burden on the current Great Qin.

The role of Guishan is only to stand forward, to find out the strength of the western kingdoms in advance.

Ying Xuan didn't plan for them to make any achievements.

As long as you can defend this area.

For Yingxuan.

The top priority now is to return to the Western Regions and divide the Western Regions into three counties.

It was established as the territory of Great Qin.

In this way, the second expedition of the system is considered complete.

When the time comes, I will go back to Xianyang, and I can just enjoy the lottery along the way.

……

On Ying Xuan's way back to the Western Regions, he didn't know.

Something that is changing the world is happening.

South of Daqin, outside a newly discovered iron mine in Lujiang County.

Zhao Kuang's palms kept slamming his palms.

Here, within a radius of dozens of miles.

It has been surrounded by tens of thousands of troops under his command.

His Highness had warned with great solemnity.

If this thing really succeeds.

All those who know the details would rather kill mistakes than let them go.

Within the encirclement of the Great Army.

A bulge in an iron ore mine.

Yingxiang, the son of Yingzaki, is accompanied by Lu Hui.

With great care, the contents of the two copper furnaces were poured into a copper tripod stuffed with a lot of cotton.

After Yingxiang came back, because he had no contact with the outside world since he was a child.

I just like to burn all kinds of things in the Dan furnace.

So he was sent by Ying Xuan to learn from the old man who burned sulfuric acid.

Later, Ying Xuan got the ninth volume of the Yellow Emperor's Nine Ding Shendan Sutra and sent someone to send it.

By the way, he told him the basic recipe for smokeless gunpowder.

And he was ordered not to tell anyone.

Later, during the time when Yingxuan inspected the royal court, Yingxiang tried many times.

After Lu Hui learned that this kind of thing could greatly speed up the mining of iron ore.

I also come to help him every day.

They've done a lot of experiments.

But most of them are deflagrations, and they can't achieve the effect of opening mountains and cracking rocks and thunder as His Highness said.

This is the last raw material they can use this time.

If they can't do it, they'll have to wait another year.

When nitric acid and sulfuric acid are gathered together in the copper tripod and mixed with the cleaned and dried cotton.

Yingxiang, who had no emotion in the past, subconsciously grabbed Lu Hui's arm by his side.

Said a little sneeringly.

"I~ I'm nervous."

Lu Hui smiled slightly.

"It's okay, Your Highness said."

"This kind of thing is a trial and error run naked by countless people on the road to death, until the lucky one hits headlong into the right one, and then a feasible path will be opened."

"So don't rush, and don't worry."

"It doesn't matter if you can't do it, just play."

Lu Hui said that, though.

But his eyes never left the copper tripod.

After a few hours of straightening, the two of them picked up the scoops made of wire on both sides.

Carefully scooped out the nitrified cotton.

They carried the lump of cotton from afar.

Straight liquid low clean.

It was placed in a depression in the mountain.

According to the message of His Highness.

Next is ignition.

It is also the most dangerous step.

The two strictly followed Ying Xuan's words.

Grease is poured into the small trenches that have been dug.

Then he ran to the other end ten paces away before starting to ignite.

Seeing the flames slowly spread to that side, the two hurriedly ran out.

ran straight out of a hundred steps, and only stopped when he saw Zhao Kuangzhang.

Everyone was silent, staring at the halfway up the mountain.

But the next moment.

The fire was not seen.

A drop of rain suddenly hit Yingxiang's face.

He looked startled.

"It's going to rain!"

"That's the last bit of raw material."

Seeing that he was about to rush over, Lu Hui grabbed him with a quick hand.

"No way!"

"Have you forgotten?"

"Your Highness said that even if the sky falls, this time must not pass."
