In the capital, Yin Zhao was terrified to death when he learned that his army had been annihilated.
On the one hand, he strictly blocked the news, and on the other hand, he urged Su Zheyan more urgently to reach a peace agreement as soon as possible, no matter how harsh the conditions were.
In Jinyang, Prince Yinxi of Jin indeed received the information sent by "someone with ulterior motives".
He was first shocked by the stupidity of the imperial court and the rampant Northern Di, and then he was overjoyed!
"What a godsend! What a godsend!"
The Prince of Jin excitedly told his advisors in his palace, "The Crown Prince has acted perversely, destroying his own great wall, sacrificing his army and humiliating his country. He even wants to cede territory in exchange for peace. This is severing ties with the world!"
"If I raise the banner of the Northern Expedition to resist the Di and settle accounts with the emperor's followers, I will surely win over the whole nation!"
He immediately took action, continuing to issue manifestos to nail the prince to the pillar of shame, and at the same time began to reorganize his troops, under the pretext of "going north to rescue Youzhou and Shuozhou", but in fact he was preparing to wait for an opportunity, either to seize fame or to expand his territory during the chaos.
The water in the world was successfully stirred even more muddied by Zhao Muyun.
And amidst this chaos, the experiments in the valley made a breakthrough!
Hu Huogen, along with several craftsmen, excitedly ran to Zhao Muyun, holding a thick, perfectly sealed paper tube. "Sir! Look at this!"
For this experiment, a relatively solid abandoned mine entrance was chosen.
The fuse lit and sank into the paper tube with a hissing sound.
Boom!
A loud bang far duller than any previous one suddenly exploded!
The earth seemed to tremble!
The originally solid supporting structure of the mine entrance was instantly blown to pieces, with rocks flying everywhere and smoke and dust filling the air. Most of the entrance to the cave was actually blown down!
The power is far beyond expectations!
All the craftsmen were stunned, and then burst into wild cheers!
Zhao Muyun's heart was beating violently, success!
Although it is still very primitive, its power is enough to cause a shocking effect in the era of cold weapons!
“That’s it!”
Zhao Muyun said firmly, "Immediately follow this formula and process and make it with all your might! Prioritize making... well, call it 'Sky Thunder'! We need large ones! The more the better!"
He looked at Shen Qian and Tang Yanhai and Du Wei who came rushing over after hearing the noise, his eyes burning with flames:
"The time is almost here! Yan Hai, you are responsible for the absolute safety and production here!"
"Dewey, you continue to secure supplies and secretly select a group of absolutely loyal, brave, and careful soldiers. I will personally teach them how to use these 'new guys'!"
"Boss Zhao, you want to..." Tang Yanhai seemed to have guessed something.
Zhao Muyun looked towards Shuozhou, his voice as cold as a knife:
"The court is incompetent, causing the country to be shattered and the Tartars to run rampant. Even I, a dead man, may have to crawl back from hell to face these jackals!"
He has been planning this for a long time.
Now, he finally holds a trump card that can change the situation of the battle.
The clarion call for counterattack is about to be sounded from this small valley!
