Chapter 512: The Little Girl Who Sells Thunderbolt
The border between Chu and Zhou
Tonight is another thunderous night.
Countless Thunderbolts were poured down, and some of them were ordinary jars filled with kerosene, which would shatter when they hit the ground. A single spark from Thunderbolt could ignite the kerosene scattered all over the ground.
Of course, in addition to these two items, the Firearms Department of the National Chamber of Commerce also sent other things, which were made into thick burdens, filled with compacted gunpowder, and were called explosive bags by the Firearms Department.
Although it doesn't have the large range and the accompanying tetanus effect like Zhentianlei, this thing is definitely more resistant to falling than Zhentianlei.
After all, Zhentianlei is an earthen pot, even if he tries to improve the craftsmanship, he still can't guarantee that it will be fine if he falls on the grass several hundred meters away.
The advent of dynamite packs has also greatly reduced the risk of duds like this one.
And the explosive pack is lighter, which means it can be thrown farther.
Nian Kang, Marshal of the Zhou Army who was retreating back under the escort of Qingqi, couldn't help but want to curse, is there something wrong with the Chu people?
Do you have to choose to attack at night?
Last time, this time too.
I have never heard of the Chu army's habit of attacking enemy camps at night!
Haven't they always advocated fairness?
Chu Army Catapult Camp
The commander of the four guards looked at Xiao Ye who was standing on a rock watching the fire in the enemy camp, and asked, "His Royal Highness, why did you choose to attack the Zhou army at night twice? Aren't the soldiers more energetic during the day?" Is it full?"
Xiao Ye turned his head to look at the commander of the four guards: "Are you playing fireworks during the day?"
The commander of the four guards couldn't help pursing his lips when he heard Xiao Ye's words: "In the army... no fireworks are allowed."
Xiao Ye said: "Because you have never played with fireworks before, so you don't know when the fireworks are the best. Hurry up! Take advantage of the strong fireworks tonight, hurry up and play more, it doesn't happen every day That's the chance."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ye raised his head to look in the direction of the enemy camp again.
Chu army camp
"Oh? The enemy army fled in a hurry, and none of them dared to fight?" King Xian put down the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in his hand, and looked at the scout from Chu who was kneeling on one knee.
The scout cupped fist said: "Report to the lord, they ran too fast, our soldiers are trying to catch up, one of them fell to the ground and was unfortunately injured because of running too fast..."
When King Xian heard this, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching. He really didn't expect Zhou Jun to be so vulnerable under the power of Zhen Tianlei. The only injured soldier was because he ran too fast when chasing the enemy... …
King Xian closed the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that he had read repeatedly, and said with a complicated expression: "This king has never fought such an easy battle in this life."
That's right, divine thunder descended from the sky, how could mortals be able to control such power?
If Xu Qing hadn't demonstrated the mystery of Zhentianlei to him in advance, he might have been at a loss like Zhou Jun.
In the future, the Firearms Administration under the National Chamber of Commerce must pay more attention to it. It must search for capable people and strangers, and continue to allocate funds for improvement.
However, a place like the Firearms Administration, which is backed by the National Chamber of Commerce, does not seem to be short of money.
He has also seen the musket, although it is very powerful, but the lead bullets fired are too short to effectively injure the enemy, and it can only be used once.
It would be great if we can make a musket that can be reloaded and fired continuously.
The shooting range also has to be increased, not too much, at least it has to be similar to the bow and arrow, right?
Sigh, that's all, let Xu Qing deal with this kind of headache. After being away from home for so long, I don't know what happened to the princess, Xueer, and his unborn grandson.
Xue'er has always yearned for Life, which kills enemies on the battlefield, but she didn't bring Ye'er out this time. Xue'er won't be unhappy at home, right?
This kid Xu Qing has made great contributions again. Although he didn't go into battle to expand the territory himself, the Thunderbolt he donated has smashed the enemy's army on the battlefield.
The state of Chu has not expanded its borders for more than ten years...
If he goes to two more cities this time, this kid must have contributed a lot.
A marquis award is too low compared to the great Chu's foundation for thousands of years in the future.
But when he talked about this kid's reward, he got a headache. Although he was very happy that this kid could fiddle with so many enemy-killing weapons, but now the seal is too high, and sooner or later there will be no seal, which is not a good thing.
Could it be possible to really give him a state prince now?
General Long hasn't brought him back yet, what kind of Duke do you want? !
Sigh, what to give this time is really a headache...
Pleasure Inn
Xu Qing pinched Xiao Ruxue's little Qiong's nose, and said, "I've finished another story, go to bed, I have to get up and go on my way tomorrow."
Xiao Ruxue, who was lying on the bed covered with a quilt, looked at Xu Qing with big watery eyes and said, "I don't, you tell me one more thing, just one, and I'll go to bed after you tell me one more..."
"Are you still sleepy?" Xu Qing couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
Xu Qing had been sitting on the chair beside the bed telling fairy tales for half the night, and Xiao Ruxue who was lying on the bed had also been listening to them for half the night.
It's not easy to put a little girl to sleep...
Xu Qing had no choice but to tell the little girl a story about a little girl selling firewood. After the brief narration, Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Go to sleep, the story is over."
After listening to Xiao Ruxue, she shook her head repeatedly and said, "I told this story a year ago, and last time you said you were a little girl selling fire brochures, it doesn't count."
Xu Qing pursed her lips and said, "Can't there be two little girls on that street, one selling firewood and the other selling firewood? The firebook is used to light firewood, there's nothing wrong with it."
Xiao Ruxue snorted dissatisfiedly: "Then next time, what kind of little girl is there to sell? Shocking Thunder?"
Xu Qing couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she heard this bold idea: "Did everyone in half the street see her grandma?"
Xiao Ruxue thought for a while and then asked: "By the way, you just told so many stories about princes and princesses, and you said that these are far away western countries. How can a princess of a country be so easy to follow?" Meeting a prince from another country? Both the princess and the prince should live in a capital city hundreds of thousands of miles away from the border. How could they be so easy to meet? Is the prince a proton who is betting on the princess’s country? Might be with him."
Xu Qing said: "They are all small countries now. A village can build a country with a castle. In fact, the area it manages is about the same as a village in our Chu State. The story of the princess and prince in that place is actually the same. The rural love story of Ergou, the son of the village official, and Erya, the daughter of the village official next door."
After thinking about it for a long time, this reason makes sense. Otherwise, how could there be so many princesses casually touching the prince's love story?
Xiao Ruxue frowned: "Can such a small place be called a country? I don't believe it."
Xu Qing spread his hands: "If you don't believe it, there is nothing you can do. You, the princess, are equivalent to our Great Chu Princess. You can't go abroad casually, let alone travel so far to the west. Now you are wandering around the country. It's the limit, and I can't take you there to see what it's like over there now."
"Well——" Xiao Ruxue rolled her big eyes, and said, "Then we will take down Zhou Guo, and after we take down, we will go all the way to the west, until we hit the place you mentioned in Ou, Then you take me there to have a look again. In this case, it is not considered going abroad, how about it? How about it?"
