Because of the arrival of the Black Cloud Cavalry, the victory that seemed to be within their grasp gradually became more difficult. The Chu capital that had been gradually losing seemed to have suddenly become much stronger. Even though the northern army outnumbered the Chu capital by more than ten times, in these narrow city streets, it was futile no matter how many people they had. Moreover, the Chu Chu Army's understanding of the Chu capital was far above the Northern Barbarian Army. Even if they could not chase the Northern Army out of the city, it was impossible for them to completely occupy the Chu capital in a short period of time.
Feng Zhiyao stood on the city gate tower and looked down at the battle in the city from above. He gradually discovered that the Northern Army had completely ignored the Chu Chu Army and were crazily charging towards the western part of the city. A cold smile appeared on his handsome face. "You want to take the western gate? How could it be that easy? " Yun Ting who was following behind Feng Zhiyao crossed his arms and looked at the Northern Army that was charging over. He said, "They want to take the western gate first and cut off the Mohist army's path into the city. Then they will deal with the defending army in the city? "
Feng Zhiyao said with a smile, "Don't worry, before we left, the Prince gave me a few good toys. However … "Feng Zhiyao said with a frown," This toy seems to be a bit dangerous, using it in the city might be a bit … "Yun Ting did not have such misgivings." What kind of time is it now? Why are you still worrying about these things? When they really charge over, we won't even be enough to deal with them. "
Feng Zhiyao rubbed his chin and nodded. "That's right! Actually, I don't know what this toy is like either! You … take your things and block those fellows. "He turned around and waved his hand, calling over a small Qi Lin captain that came with them. The Qi Lin members were naturally excited. They had obtained this item for quite some time, but they never had the chance to use it. After receiving Feng Zhiyao's order, the squad leader waved his hand and immediately led a group of Qi Lin down the tower with a rectangular box in their hands.
In the city, the soldiers of the Northern Region who received Ren Qining's order all rushed towards the tower of the West Gate. However, from the street far away from the West Gate, they only heard a loud bang followed by a series of explosions. Before the Northern Army could even figure out what was going on, they were blasted to bits and pieces of flesh and blood. If they were Central Plainsmen, they would at least have seen some fireworks and firecrackers. But the barbarians in the Northern Region lived a slightly better life than the primitive tribes before Ren Qining integrated the Northern Region. They had never seen such earth-shattering noises and destructive power. Many soldiers of the Northern Region were so frightened that they assumed that they had offended the Heavenly God and that the Heavenly God had sent down a bolt of lightning. Needless to say, those who were hit by the explosion were so scared that they knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up. Uncivilized peoples were often more afraid of heaven and earth than the peoples of the Central Plains.
After a series of explosions, the entire street was filled with the smell of gunpowder. The ground was also covered with soldiers who had been blasted into pieces. On the tower not far away, Yun Ting's eyes widened in shock. He stammered, "This … this thing was given to you by the Prince?" This was a little too frightening. He clearly saw that Qi Lin and the others had hidden something along the street. Those Northern Region people had become like this as soon as they entered. If Ye Li were here, she would definitely think that these effects were just so-so. After many years of research in the secret Imperial Mausoleum, the best thing they had made was not even as effective as the first hand grenade, let alone a powerful bomb like TNT, which could blow up a six or seven story building with just one kilogram. As for the firearms developed in the underground palace of the Imperial Mausoleum, Ye Li was too lazy to even take them out. Whether it was the range or the accuracy, they were inferior to bows and arrows. It was better to wait for another four or five generations before thinking about it. However, to the people of this era who still knew how to play with fireworks and firecrackers, this effect was shocking enough.
Feng Zhiyao nodded with a wooden face. At the same time, he concealed the shock in his heart. However, he could not help but curse Mo Xiuyao in his heart. If he had such a powerful weapon, he should have taken it out sooner.
In fact, Mo Xiuyao was definitely wronged. Now, these things were purely handmade, and there was no flowing production line. It was already considered a high yield if seven or eight bombs could be made in a month. However, these things were not particularly lethal. Qilin's people had placed no less than a hundred things on both sides of the street due to the earth-shattering lethality just now. It was too inconvenient to carry around and had a high production cost. Mo Xiuyao really didn't plan on using something that wouldn't kill three people in an open area for the time being. The Northern Region soldiers could only be considered unlucky. With so many people squeezed into this narrow street, who else would they bomb if not him?
The Northern Region people were not completely brainless. Soon, someone reacted and shouted, "This is a trick of the Central Plains people. Don't be afraid. Charge and kill them! " The Northern Region people were brave. With someone taking the lead, they quickly got up and followed the leader to charge forward. The Qi Lin on the houses on both sides were not surprised. They smirked and viciously threw the black objects down. The black ball landed on the ground and exploded while the soldiers of the Northern Region were stunned for a moment. The soldiers closest to the ball were sent flying as expected.
Then, another deafening explosion sounded on the street, accompanied by the cries of the Northern Region people. When the explosion stopped, the surviving Northern Region soldiers finally could not take it anymore. They threw away their helmets and armor and ran away.
The violent explosion in the west of the city was heard by everyone in the Chu capital. Even Ren Qining, who was outside the city, heard it. His eyes turned cold as he asked, "How could it be?"
Soon, someone stumbled out of the city and reported, "Your Majesty, the Mohist army has monsters. Our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties. "
Ren Qining was so angry that his face turned green. "I want to know what kind of monster is so powerful!"
The reporting soldier said with a trembling voice, "The soldiers didn't even see clearly what it was. They only heard an earth-shattering boom. Then, many people died with blood all over their bodies. "
"You mean, you didn't even see the Mohist army?" Ren Qining asked. The soldier thought for a while and nodded. They did not see the Mohist army.
"Bastard! I don't care what kind of monster the Mohist army has. Take the west gate for I in two hours! "
The soldier hesitated for a while and said, "But … many soldiers said that it was a punishment from the gods. That was why the heavenly thunder came. They did not dare to go … "Ren Qining sneered and said," Heavenly thunder? Where would the heavenly thunder come from on a clear day? If there is a heavenly thunder, it will strike I first. Send the order, if we can't take the west gate in two hours, we will take the head of the commander! "
"Yes!"
Seeing the soldier who sent the message leave with a face full of fear, Ren Qining's ashen face became even more twisted and ferocious. Heavenly thunder?! Ridiculous! Mo Xiuyao … did you really get the treasure left behind by the ancestors? Ren Qining was different from Tan Jizhi. He grew up in a big family that was truly hidden from the world. The people who taught him were all old officials of the previous dynasty who had always been loyal to the previous dynasty. Naturally, he had also read many books about the previous dynasty. There were even authentic copies of the previous dynasty that did not exist in the world. Among them, there were some personal letters written by the previous dynasty's founding ancestor. There were some obscure things mentioned in them. Originally, Ren Qining did not care. After all, the founding ancestor did not use those things when he conquered the world. Later generations of emperors also did not see any powerful mysterious weapons. Whether they were real or fake was still up for debate. But at this time, thinking about the matter of the previous dynasty's treasure in the northwest, what else did Ren Qining not understand? At that time, he was busy suppressing the tribes in the north that did not obey him. However, he still sent people to the northwest to pay attention to this matter. However, they did not find any treasure. The people who wanted to fight for the treasure also returned in defeat. He did not expect that Mo Xiuyao really did secretly get it.
