"Okay, you have done a great job, the people of the military smith shop will each be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the lowly status will be lifted, and the children can study and do business in the future, and all the benefits promised to you before will be cashed out!"

Zhao Xuanqi rewarded them excitedly.

He had promised them before, as long as they could vigorously produce weapons during this time, they would definitely not hesitate to reward them.

There are rewards in all aspects, including silver, acres of land, and household registration.

It turns out that if you want a horse to run, you have to let the horse eat enough grass!

With so many rewards, these guys didn't let themselves down and did a great job!

The public loss master immediately knelt on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”

As a blacksmith, the situation at home is not much better.

There are even many blacksmiths who are slaves and belong to the lowly status, and with these benefits cashed out by Zhao Xuanqi, they can get rid of the lowly status, get acres of land and houses, and also have a large amount of silver.

It can be said that there is no need to worry about food and clothing in the future!

Do it all.

Zhao Xuanqi ordered two soldiers, carrying boxes containing muskets and explosives, to slowly walk towards the barracks.

Weapons are already there.

But the soldiers had to be taught how to use it.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the weapon is, if you don't know how to use it, it's just useless garbage.

It's time for these soldiers to see the magic weapon of victory!

……

Barrack.

The barracks are located in the northern part of the city.

It was surrounded by an open area, and there were basically no people living there, and it was strictly forbidden for people to come to this place at will.

It covers a relatively large area, with more than 10,000 people in the Ziyun Army and 20,000 in the Royal Forest Army, who usually train in this barracks.

The soldiers were on edge.

It's not so much nervousness as fear and cringe.

These days, the rebels' strategy of attacking the hearts and minds has indeed had a great impact, the people are excited, and the soldiers are extremely afraid of these rebels.

Cannibalism, killing, terror, cruelty.

All the synonyms of evil are manifested in the Wanderers.

The Royal Forest Army is okay, a large part of them are elite soldiers, who have been on the battlefield, and their performance is not bad.

But most of the soldiers of the Ziyun Army have never been on the battlefield, in the final analysis, they came with bravery, and now after calming down, they will inevitably feel afraid to face this kind of enemy.

Everyone is not optimistic about this war.

30,000 troops, how to fight 500,000 troops?

Half of the outside world has fallen, is there still a need to hold on?

The soldiers did not see the certainty of victory at all.

It can be said that the people in the camp are panicked, and many soldiers have developed a fear of war.

If there is a little hope of winning, they will not be like this, but unfortunately there is not, not even the slightest hope!

There was an atmosphere of oppressive tension in the camp.

Zhao Wuxing's mood was also very depressed.

He conducted a battle deduction with several generals, and found that no matter how he deduced, it seemed that the winner was the enemy!

Zhao Xuanqi took a few soldiers, carried the box and slowly walked into the barracks and came to the main tent of the Chinese army.

Then some soldiers called the captains and generals, all of whom were leaders in the army, there were about a dozen people, and the one standing at the forefront was Zhao Wuxing.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at it and asked, "Why do you have a depressed face?" ”

Zhao Wuxing replied in a dull voice: "General Hui, his subordinates are born with a stinky face!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi immediately laughed.

He naturally knew the depression in the hearts of these soldiers, and also knew the despair in the hearts of these generals.

Now he's here to help them regain their confidence!

He said: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, I already have a good plan to break the enemy!" ”

"What?"

Zhao Wuxing had some suspicions that he had misheard.

He didn't expect Zhao Xuanqi to say such a thing.

So much so that he didn't react for a while.

A good way to break the enemy!

Is there finally a way to defeat the enemy?

After coming back to his senses, his breathing couldn't help but become short, and he hurriedly asked, "General, what is the plan?" Can we really defeat the rebels? ”

Several other generals also cast their eyes over, revealing their hopeful gazes.

Everyone stared at Zhao Xuanqi hopefully.

Zhao Xuanqi waved his hand, met everyone's expectant eyes, and finally pointed to the two boxes behind him with his left hand.

"Just rely on them!"

The two wooden boxes were boxy, and they didn't know what they contained, so they were simply placed on the ground, no different from other ordinary wooden boxes.

The generals set their sights on the chest.

There was a moment of astonishment.

So, the way to defeat the enemy is to rely on two wooden boxes?

Well, by what is in the box.

But what can be contained in these two boxes?

There was only a limited amount of space inside, at most a piece of armor, or some long knives, and they couldn't think of anything inside.

I don't know what kind of broken box it contains, but it can make 30,000 people defeat 500,000 people?

So

The general wouldn't be joking, would he?

It's not to make fun of yourself and others, right?

What kind of strategy is this to defeat the enemy?

Two rotten chests!

The generals were extremely disappointed in their hearts.

I don't think the contents of the box can be useful at all.

I don't like the contents of the box at all.

They don't think that what is contained in it can make them defeat 500,000 people with 30,000 people, such a fantasy that even a three-year-old child would not believe.

Zhao Wuxing hesitated, and couldn't help but admonish bitterly: "General, have you been under too much pressure recently?" Do you need to take a break? ”

"Don't be poor, I didn't lie to you, it's the contents of these two boxes that can indeed allow us to defeat the 500,000 army of anti-thieves!"

Zhao Xuanqi is full of confidence.

Where could he not see the suspicions of these guys?

In fact, if it weren't for his own traverser, he wouldn't have believed that the two boxes could win.

These guys don't believe it, do they?

Then let them see the power of technology!

Then let them see the terrifying power from thermal weapons!

"Come out with me and try out the power of these things!"

As he spoke, Zhao Xuanqi slowly walked out of the tent.

Two soldiers carried the box out and followed him.

The generals stood in place, looking at each other.

All were shocked by Zhao Xuanqi's self-confidence.

For a moment, there were some doubts about life.

"Is there a fairy in the box? Later, the immortals will appear and directly kill the enemy's 500,000 troops? ”

"The general is so confident, there must really be a way!"

"Don't you have hysteria? Even if there were 10,000 men in those two boxes, we would not be a match for the 500,000 troops outside the city, and I suspect that the general has been worried a lot in recent days, which has led to the illusion ......."

"Well, I don't see any hope of winning, so I don't believe that the contents of the box can make us win."

The generals exchanged a few words with each other, but in the end it was still difficult to convince Zhao Xuanqi.

However, his body was very honest, and he did not hesitate to follow Zhao Xuanqi's steps to go outside the camp.

They wanted to see what the general could do!

Soon, everyone came to the school grounds.

There is a row of targets in front of you.

Zhao Xuanqi opened the first box, took out the arquebus from it, and then slowly taught Zhao Wuxing how to use the arquebus, including the method of aiming and the method of loading gunpowder.

"Remember?"

"Remember!"

Zhao Wuxing nodded.

Zhao Xuanqi immediately ordered: "Then you shoot!" ”

The rough man Zhao Wuxing immediately picked up the arquebus, slowly ignited the rope, accompanied by a breath of gunpowder, and the next moment there was a bang.

I saw that the bullet shot out in an instant, hitting the target more than ten meters away at a fast speed!

Everyone was startled by the noise.

Then I saw that the target shattered into a small corner, and it was obvious that it had been hit by a burst of bullets!

"So, this thing is like a bow and arrow?"

The generals talked a lot.

Guess what this thing does.

Zhao Xuanqi also ordered people to work on the target, which was used as armor for hostile soldiers.

Zhao Wudaunt understood, reloaded the bullet, and after a while, fired the bullet again.

This time it missed.

Then, he made a third shot, and he was very talented, and this time he hit the target directly!

There was a loud bang.

The iron plate broke a hole, and the bullet drilled out of it, and by the way, a hole was drilled into the target behind it, and the whole target shook a few points.

At this moment, all the generals were shocked: "What a powerful power!" ”

They never imagined that this thing, which looked like a burning stick, could emit so much power.

It is conceivable that even if the other soldier's soldiers are wearing armor, once they are hit by a musket, that layer of armor will definitely be pierced like papier-mâché!

If it's a bow and arrow, it's hard to deal damage to an armored soldier, and if you encounter an enemy in armor, you'll be helpless, but this thing does!

If you think about it boldly, the soldiers of the other side rush up with shields, and use burning sticks to shoot, maybe the shields will be shattered, and directly hit the soldiers in the rear, causing casualties!

It was precisely because they understood the lethality of the horror of the musket that the eyes of all the generals changed.

Especially Zhao Wuxing, who was holding a musket in his hand, his eyes lit up.

He played with bows and arrows.

Archery requires a lot of strength, and the consumption of physical strength is very serious, and basically you need to rest for a while if you can't shoot a few arrows.

Not everyone can be an archer, archers are the best in the army, and their arm strength is amazing, and it takes at least several years to train archers, so the number of archers is very small.

But what about this musket?

Three rounds in a row, he was not tired at all, even if he kept shooting, he could easily do it, and firing for a whole day in a row was not a big problem, which was stronger than a bow and arrow!

The musket is more lethal than the bow and arrow, and it pierces more and can break through the armor, which is simply amazing!

This thing does not require much physical strength and arm strength, isn't it possible for ordinary people to use it, an ordinary person can exert a more powerful power than an archer without any training, it's terrifying!

Zhao Xuanqi looked at Zhao Wuxing, who was in a stunned state, and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?" Tell me what you think is good about muskets? ”

The big man Zhao Wuxing knew how powerful this thing was, but he was stupid, his face turned red, and finally replied: "This thing is fierce!" ”

Zhao Xuanqi couldn't help laughing.

After that, he slowly introduced the musket to everyone.

Introduce all the advantages of muskets.

More powerful than a bow and arrow.

Any ordinary person can use it.

Able to penetrate armor...

As long as the soldiers are equipped with a large number of muskets, it is equivalent to the appearance of a large number of terrifying archers, who can easily inflict terrifying damage on the enemy at a long distance.

Of course, Zhao Xuanqi also said his shortcomings.

Rain day limit.

Reload speed limit.

The danger of bombing.

The accuracy is a bit poor.

He told the generals all the advantages and disadvantages of muskets, and told them that there were thousands of muskets, and as for ammunition, they were innumerable, and basically they were not afraid of running out of ammunition.

"With this kind of thing, if we use it to defend the city, it will increase the chance of victory by 50%!"

An elderly veteran general shouted with a flushed face.

The other generals were also excited.

In any case, the advantages of the musket still outweigh the disadvantages, and this thing must be used, and it must be used in large quantities!

With this thing, the opponent's armor is useless, just like papier-mâché, and the shield on the opposite side will also be useless, as long as you shoot at a certain distance, you will definitely be able to harvest your life every time!

It is equivalent to more than 1,000 archers with infinite strength and natural power on his side, and they are also archers with unlimited physical strength who can shoot all the time!

You don't have to fight to kill your enemies!

How do you make such a thing as a musket? It's simply a magic weapon of the fairy family!

Zhao Xuanqi looked at their excited appearances, and slowly opened the second box, revealing the neatly placed bombs inside.

"General, dare to ask what this thing is?" Zhao Wuxing squeezed up for the first time, staring at the few small balls inside with glowing eyes.

Zhao Xuanqi replied: "This is a more ferocious weapon than a musket, and it is also the most ferocious weapon to defeat an army of 500,000!" ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and several generals couldn't wait to surround them.

Until he saw that there were small balls inside, his face was full of astonishment.

For a while, there was a lot of interest.

The balls were about the size of a fist, and there was a lead sticking out, and I don't know what they were.

If the musket is good, it can be seen that it can shoot.

So what do these little balls do?

It's not going to be thrown over and used to smash the other side, right? It's not as useful as picking up a few big rocks on the ground!

They couldn't figure out what these little balls could be used for, how they were better than muskets, how they could break the 500,000 army.

It's not that the generals are too stupid, but they are limited by the restrictions of the times, their vision is only so high, and their cognition limits them.

Their fantasy effect on the small ball, at most, is to throw and smash, and they can't imagine more effects, in their hands, it is indeed not as powerful as the big stone!

Zhao Xuanqi looked at them with disapproving eyes, but said with a smile in his heart: "You will be surprised later!" ”

He told everyone, "These balls have names, and I call them bombs!" ”

Then he took out the most ordinary bomb, took out the flint and steel, and handed it to Zhao Wuxing.

"Flint and steel sparks can ignite items, see the fuses on the bomb? You light it with flint and steel, and then you throw the bomb out as fast as you can, and drop it at the ruined wall in front of you! ”

Zhao Wuxing turned around his head, seeing Zhao Xuanqi's serious expression, he knew that the matter was not trivial, although he didn't know what the situation was, but he still replied very seriously: "Obey!" ”

So, he used flint and steel to ignite the fuse of the bomb, and when he saw that the fuse was burning rapidly, he rounded the board and immediately threw the bomb far away.

In an instant, the bomb landed exactly under the wall.

The lead also burned out at the same moment.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, like thunder on the ground.

The fire was shining and the smoke was billowing out.

The onlookers were taken aback, covered their ears and made a dodging gesture, and they were all shocked.

The generals were also panicked, and they couldn't figure out what was going on, why did the thunder strike?

Only Zhao Wuxing knew that it was not thunder, but the bomb that had just been dropped!

"It's the sound of a bomb, look, the smoke is up!"

So people look at where the bomb fell.

I saw that the smoke and dust had slowly dispersed, revealing the scene after the explosion inside.

The solid wall, which was more than three meters high, had collapsed, the bricks were shattered, and a small crater had been blown out of the ground, a messy scene.

"This ...... This blew the wall to pieces? ”

Several generals stepped forward to check, and immediately gasped, only to see that the bomb was full of broken bricks and small potholes exposed on the ground, and their faces were full of shock.

The surrounding soldiers were talking.

"What the hell is this? Is this divine punishment? Sturdy walls can be shattered! ”

"Not only that, the small hole on the ground has been broken, what a terrifying power, if this thing falls on a person's body, the whole person is afraid that it will be blown apart, it is worse than the five horses and corpses!"

All the soldiers watched all this with horror.

The most powerful cold weapon they had ever seen in their lives could not inflict such intense damage on people!

And this little ball in front of you did it!

"What are you afraid of, this is our weapon, this is the weapon we use against the enemy, the stronger the better!" Zhao Wuxing laughed excitedly.

The soldiers had just come to their senses.

Yes.

It is the enemy who should be worried.

What are we worried about?

With such a powerful weapon, who can stop it!

For a moment, everyone cheered.

The original gloomy and desperate mood was swept away at this moment, and he finally had the courage to face the enemy.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuanqi smiled slightly.

It's time to strike while the iron is hot and let these guys burst with confidence that they can win!

In this scene, Zhao Xuanqi launched a flowering bomb again.

"Try this blossom bomb!"

The big man Zhao Wuxing held the flowering bomb in his hand, it was a can-like explosive, heavier and heavier, several times heavier than the bomb just now.

Zhao Xuanqi commanded: "Bring the three sheep over!" ”

Subsequently, the left and right guards immediately found three sheep.

"You can throw the flowering bomb next to the three sheep later, you don't need to lose the center of them, you can throw two or three meters, four or five meters next to it!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Wuxing only felt strange in his heart.

Judging from the bomb just now, the bomb will only produce explosive damage if it is dropped in the center, and if it is separated by four or five meters, how can it hurt the sheep? I'm afraid I can't even hurt the fur of a sheep, right? Do you want to scare the sheep to death?

The other generals and soldiers also had this kind of doubt, and they all looked at Zhao Wuxing.

Zhao Wuxing took a deep breath, took the flowering bullet in his hand, lit the fuse, and threw it vigorously.

As a result, because of the angle deviation, it was not lost at a position of three or four meters, or even at a position of four or five meters, but rolled and rolled, and happened to be thrown at a position of six or seven meters next to the three lambs.

Everyone thought to themselves: this distance is much farther than expected, I'm afraid the explosion will have no effect!

however

Just when everyone doesn't care.

The next moment, something terrible happened.

I saw that the bomb burst open, and in a dull explosion, countless blades shot out one after another, sweeping at a rapid speed on the bodies of the three sheep.

In an instant, the fur was cut, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the blood was sprayed unfatally, and the flesh was dripping.

The lambs only had time to let out a terrible scream before they fell to the ground.

The snow-white fur was stained with bright red blood, and the dense wounds were also inlaid with blades, and the flesh turned outward, and a large number of wounds continued to spurt blood.

They didn't die for the first time, they were still struggling on the ground, and they were still bleating.

It took a while for the lambs to die completely, in struggle and pain, after the blood had dried up.

This bloody and cruel scene completely shocked everyone present.

This is only six or seven meters apart, if it is a close-range explosion, I am afraid that the power will be even more terrifying, and the whole person will probably be torn into pulp!

Crushing into mashed meat is actually the easiest, at least you can die in an instant, you won't experience pain, and you will die without knowing anything.

And if you are far away, five or six meters, six or seven meters away, you will end up like a lamb just now, it is a general punishment of being pierced through the heart by a blade of ten thousand arrows, so that every day should not be, and the earth is not spiritual, you can only scream and struggle on the ground, and wait until the blood runs dry and die, and die in pain and despair.

It's horrible!

Everyone was shocked by the horror and cruelty of this weapon, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Zhao Xuanqi asked, "How about this weapon?" ”

The big man Zhao Wuxing suppressed his excitement and horror and said: "I don't know how to describe it, this is a weapon that makes people feel despair and pain, 10,000 times more terrifying than swords, guns and halberds."

Only then did the surrounding generals take a deep breath and face up to this weapon: "If this weapon is put into war, the 500,000 troops on the opposite side don't seem to be so terrible." ”

"The blossom bomb is so terrifying, it is a nightmare for them, to witness the death of their companions with a thousand knives, no soldier can accept this fear, the heart is enough to overcome the body, and let them tremble and flee."

"If I encounter this kind of tragedy in the war, I will run away as soon as possible, and I must be the same with the prodigal army on the other side, as long as it is human, it will be afraid."

"If there are enough of these bombs, I have a good chance of defeating them, and we have a good chance of victory!"

The same goes for the soldiers.

There was confidence on his face.

With this terrifying weapon in hand.

What about an army of 500,000?

The certainty of victory is great!

With this weapon in hand, the enemy seems to have become less terrible!

"Oh? Victory is a big certainty? You mean you can't win? ”

Zhao Xuanqi listened to his words.

Then silently took out the strongest white phosphorus bomb.

"Also... Anything else? ”

Zhao Wuxing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Explosives in hand.

As he can imagine, this is definitely a more terrifying bomb than a flowering bomb.

Otherwise, the general will not be put at the rear.

While the others were afraid, they were also looking forward to it, silently waiting for the effect of this bomb, and all of them focused on Zhao Wuxing.

"Then let's try it."

Zhao Wuxing ignited the explosives, and the next moment he threw the white phosphorus bomb next to a newly pulled lamb with great force.

Wow!

The bomb exploded.

An invisible white flame suddenly spread out in all directions, covering an area of five or six meters with flames.

The ground is burning, the dirt is burning, as if the air is burning!

The lamb was instantly covered in flames, let out a terrified scream, and then jumped at a rapid speed towards the nearby river.

The horrible thing, however, is that the flame is not extinguished!

That's right, even the icy water of the river didn't quench this strange flame!

Everyone watched in amazement.

I saw a flame floating in the river, burning violently, the lamb screamed, wailed, no matter how much it fluttered in the water, it couldn't extinguish the flame, the flame kept burning, like a maggot attached to the bone, entangled in its body, burning the fur clean, burning the flesh and blood, and finally even the bones were burned black!

The soldiers who witnessed all this were completely stunned.

Zhao Wuxing and the other generals also watched all this happen in disbelief, constantly rubbing their eyes, and staring at the burning water.

This flame can't be extinguished, as long as it is glued a little, it will be burned clean, and it will burn people alive, from the inside out!

If you are contaminated a little, you will not be able to survive, you will not be able to die, and no means can be extinguished!

What a cruel, bloody weapon.

What a powerful, terrifying weapon.

They used to use fire oil, and it is difficult to extinguish it, but it is not so terrifying, in front of this white phosphorus bomb now, it is simply pediatric!

Zhao Xuanqi asked: "With this kind of weapon, how sure are you of victory?" ”

"Victory!" Zhao Wuxing subconsciously replied with this sentence, and when he said this, he found that his voice was a little trembling.

In order to hide this trace of fear, he tried to show enough excitement to himself, and shouted in an impassioned voice: "Victory!" We will win! ”

The soldiers recovered from the shock.

Immediately was surged by the blood.

Indeed, with this terrifying weapon in hand, it is absolutely a sure victory.

If you lose like this, then what kind of war is there to fight?

An army of 500,000 is just flesh and blood, can it withstand these immortal weapons?

That's right, in their eyes, muskets and bombs have become immortal weapons, only immortals can make this kind of weapon, only immortals can crack this weapon, mortals encounter this kind of weapon, only mortals will die!

The great general is a god-man, and the great general who can make this terrifying weapon can definitely lead everyone to victory!

The next moment, a deafening sound sounded from all the soldiers:

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

On this day, the people of the capital were surprised.

The hysterical shouts of the soldiers could be heard all over the city, and there was a great confidence in their words, an indescribable certainty of victory.

The belief that rushed to the sky shattered all the gloom.

The determination to move forward shatters all despair and timidity.

As long as anyone who hears this voice can understand, this is definitely an army that is confident and victorious!

Stationed in the rebel camp outside the city, Huang Shouyi and the others turned their heads in surprise and looked in the direction of the capital.

I couldn't figure out what was going on.

Under the calculation of attacking the heart these days, the heart of the army in Chang'an City is obviously scattered, how can such a strong belief suddenly erupt?

"Okay, it's just an army of 30,000, in the face of our army of 500,000, you can still have such a belief, it is worthy of Zhao Zhuangyuan!"

Huang Shouyi was full of emotion: "Zhao Xuanqi, Zhao Xuanqi, what means do you have?" It's been able to do this! ”

"But no matter what, I will definitely tell you what real strength is, and how ridiculous the so-called belief is in the face of absolutely strong strength!"
