"Okay." Zhao Chengqian said, holding the thing in his hand.
Ruanruan continued, "Uncle Jin Wang, little brother, Ruanruan and my uncle are going home. We'll talk again tomorrow when the shoes arrive. Bye!"
"Yeah, see you tomorrow."
After King Jin finished talking to Ruanruan, he asked Yingqi to send people over to pull out everything in the cave.
Ying Qi, who was standing next to him, asked, "Your Majesty, how powerful is this thing? Is it the same as gunpowder?"
Prince Jin stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I don't know, but the blueprint says this thing has a range of over ten meters, and the shells are incredibly powerful. It's more powerful, farther-reaching, and more convenient than gunpowder."
"Send some people to make more spherical explosive packs, and have some swords sharpened."
"As for these bows and crossbows..."
The King of Jin pulled out a crossbow from the box. He held the crossbow in the same way as shown in the blueprint, holding the handle with one hand and placing the base of the crossbow on his other arm, then placed three arrows on it.
He turned sideways, stared intently at a tree not far away, and pressed the mechanism on the crossbow hard.
The spring above pulls it back.
As soon as King Jin let go, the three arrows flew out in an instant, leaving a shadow in the air.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Everything returned to calm, and they couldn't even see where the arrow was.
Everyone was stunned and murmured, "This...this is too fast!"
"I didn't even see when Your Highness shot the arrows just now. When I came to my senses, the three arrows were gone."
Ying Qi, who was standing next to him, said, "Go and get the arrow back!"
"Remember the distance and location of the arrow."
A dozen soldiers hurried into the woods to pick up the three arrows.
After about half a quarter of an hour, they finally came running over, all of them panting.
"Your Highness, it's a total of five hundred and sixty feet. I just checked carefully and found that the arrow is halfway inside the tree trunk."
Lin Xu, the leader, bowed and presented all three arrows in his hand to King Jin.
The King of Jin took the arrow, stared at the location of the scissors, and touched the scissors with his fingertips. He found that the scissors were not sharp, but rather blunt.
Ying Qi stared at the crossbow, his eyes filled with excitement. "Your Highness, this arrow is so powerful even without a blade. If it were sharp, it would pierce the entire tree trunk!"
Ying Yi, who was standing next to him, pulled out a sword from the box, his expression flickering.
"Your Highness, look at this sword. Although it's unbladed, it's polished very smoothly, and the thickness of the sword is also excellent."
"And the forging craftsmanship is even more refined than our Da Gan sword. If it were sharpened, it would be even sharper!"
Ying Yi held the sword in one hand and swung it a few times, clearing all the snow off the stones nearby.
Then he swung the sword again, and the sword body rubbed against the stone quickly a few times, and a few bright shadows flashed by.
When he raised his hand, he waved it at a tree nearby.
“Crack!”
The tree, as thick as an arm, was cut off directly.
"Bang!" The tree fell in the snow.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and was very excited.
"Great! With these crossbows and these sharp swords, we can kill the enemy from a distance in the dark without sacrificing a single soldier."
"With the divinely gifted thunder and this crossbow, we will surely defeat the Northern Rong Army and defend Qingzhou City!"
"I never thought that the prince actually had such a powerful weapon. This trip was worth it!"
"With the prince here, we don't have to be afraid!"
…
The King of Jin ordered people to polish these weapons, and also asked Yingyi to pick out a few soldiers with good skills, who specialized in using bows, crossbows, and cannon barrels.
Zhao Chengqian told King Jin about the clothes and food that Ruanruan had given him.
The King of Jin ordered people to distribute clothes to those who did not have thick clothes to wear.
At night, the soldiers gathered around the fire, wrapped in thick clothes and holding a bucket of instant noodles in their hands.
"It's so delicious! I've never eaten noodles this delicious in my life. There are chopped green onions, oil, and salt in it. Even the soup is so delicious!"
"Yes, the taste is comparable to delicacies from the mountains and the sea. I dare say that even those people in the palace have never tasted it."
"The prince is so kind to us. Today I killed two Beirong people and was rewarded with a pound of cornmeal!"
"I killed one man and still have half a catty of gold. Master Ying said that everyone will get a reward when we get to Qingzhou!"
"I knew that following the prince was the right decision. Only our military camp has such treatment."
The soldiers ate instant noodles while chatting and taking a sip of soup from time to time.
The Beirong prisoners next to them had shackles on their hands and feet, and were wearing thin clothes. They squatted in the cold wind, watching the soldiers opposite them feasting on instant noodles.
They were so greedy that they were drooling and huddled together whispering.
"It seems the general's intelligence was wrong. Not only is the Gan Kingdom blessed by the gods, but even the Hanhuang has so many delicious foods!"
"It smells so good, I can't help it..."
"Damn it, why, why can they eat well and wear warm clothes?"
A Beirong general took a deep breath, and a spicy smell rushed into his nostrils.
"I want to eat noodles!" He suddenly stood up from the ground and shouted at the soldiers opposite.
The man was tall, sturdy, and bearded. He shouted, "As long as you give me noodles, I'll do anything for you!"
The people on the ground raised their eyes and condemned: "Yeluha, how dare you commit treason!"
Yaluha said nonchalantly, "Damn it! I joined the army just to have a hot meal."
"What happened? Beirong's deputy general was killed by thunder. He didn't even get to eat and was taken prisoner!"
"Look at what they eat, and what dry bread we eat. Isn't it for food that we fight? I am willing even if you are unwilling."
"I want to enjoy life, you guys can suffer if you want."
The man on the ground sneered, "Don't be silly. The Gan army won't treat you well at all. If you are caught by them, you will only be worthy of being a slave!"
"The Gan army won't trust you at all."
Yeluha ignored him and shouted to the soldiers on the opposite side, "Tell your general that I am willing to surrender to you as long as you give me something to eat."
Yingyi received the news and walked over. "You can join us if you want, but there is a condition."
Yeluha seemed to be getting very hungry. He licked his lips and said, "Any conditions are fine. Just tell me!"
"You only need to kill fifty Beirong people on the battlefield."
Ying Yi said.
"Okay, I promise, give me something to eat quickly." Yaleha nodded.
Yingyi called the person next to him and brought him a bucket of freshly soaked noodles.
He didn't even take off his handcuffs. He just held the instant noodles, opened his mouth wide, tilted it slightly, and quickly scooped it into his mouth with a fork.
He ate like crazy with big mouthfuls, making "gulp gulp" sounds, and drank up the whole bucket of soup.
He pursed his lips and stared at Yingyi with an unsatisfied look.
"Give him a few more buckets." Yingyi took a look and said again.
The servant next to him brought him five more buckets, and Yeluha finished two more buckets in a few seconds.
