No one harbored a stronger hatred for the Xiongnu than Xu Hui!
He was one of the few scholars in Liangzhou, and he should have had the brightest future.
But all of this was destroyed by the Xiongnu!
Today, he will personally take revenge and blow the entire Xuan'an City to the sky!
Xu Hui lit the burning tinder on the ground, causing the fuse to spread.
A thick, dark fog instantly billowed up inside the tunnel.
The fuse burns extremely fast!
Furthermore, to ensure the detonation effect, each explosive charge was fitted with more than one fuse, and the explosive charges were also interconnected.
If one explosive charge detonates, it will cause all the surrounding explosive charges to explode as well.
The thick black smoke formed a cloud and drifted towards the top of Xuan'an City.
The next moment! A sound like thunder exploded between heaven and earth!
A mushroom cloud rose from the base of the city wall!
Mu Zian's hand holding the binoculars was almost shaken off.
At that moment, the entire city of Xuan'an was shrouded in thick smoke.
The flying dust was like an ancient ferocious beast opening its blood-red maw to devour Xuan'an City.
Mu Zian's mouth dropped open at the sight, for even he had never seen an explosion of over a thousand pounds of gunpowder before.
"How can its power be so great?"
Mu Zian was slightly stunned.
The force of the explosion seemed to have exceeded his expectations.
Jia Xu, standing to the side, replied calmly.
"I heard from you, sir, that adding sugar to the gunpowder can increase its power, so I bought all the sugar in Wuwei City and added it in."
"It's a pity that all the sugar in the city is maltose. I haven't been able to find the pure white sugar that you described, as white as snow."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zian simply gave Jia Xu a thumbs up silently.
He had only mentioned it casually, but Jia Xu remembered it.
Putting everything else aside, this spirit of striving for perfection even when it means harming others is truly admirable!
Under the cover of thick fog, even Mu Zian couldn't see clearly through his binoculars.
However, the Xiongnu people on the city walls could truly experience the feeling of soaring into the sky.
Sound arrives even before the impact.
The Xiongnu people on the city wall only heard a booming sound in their ears, and in an instant everything in front of them became blurry.
The next moment, a wave of air rushed towards us like a tidal wave!
The shockwave carried dust and broken rocks.
The city wall beneath their feet, on which they had placed such high hopes, collapsed in an instant, half of it crumbling like tofu that had been punctured.
The shockwave swept up dust and gravel straight into the sky!
Immediately! A shower of stones began to fall in Xuan'an City.
The remaining people in the city numbly looked up at the sky, their eyes, which had lost their luster, slowly regaining their sparkle.
An elderly man with a full head of white hair pointed shakily into the distance and said.
"Divine thunder descends from the sky! Divine thunder descends from the sky!"
"God has come to our aid! God has come to our aid!"
In an instant, the once lifeless Xuan'an City came alive!
Countless people cried out for divine punishment!
Outside Xuan'an City, as the black smoke dissipated...
Sitting atop Red Hare, Mu Zian could already see the low-lying tiled houses within the city.
On both sides of the city wall, countless Huns who had been killed or wounded by the bombs were piled up in layers.
Mu Zian turned to Luo Cheng, who was already poised to attack, and spoke.
"Today, the Duke of this country wishes to hold a banquet in the city. What do you think of this?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng's lips curled into a cruel smile.
"I will certainly do my duty to pacify the world for you, young master!"
"Gentlemen! Divine punishment has arrived! Follow me into the city! Slay the Xiongnu!"
At Luo Cheng's command, the five thousand Beggars behind him erupted in a thunderous roar.
From this moment on, they will unleash their fury to their heart's content!
Luo Cheng rode his white horse and galloped away first!
With a flick of the reins, he leaped over the shattered city wall like a dazzling meteor.
The Xiongnu people in the city were already stunned by the explosion, and those who were close to the center of the blast were already mangled corpses.
Even those who were far away were left dazed and confused by the aftershocks of the explosion.
Faced with the figure rushing out of the black smoke, their first reaction was not to resist but to run away!
In a daze, I heard someone shout.
"A ghost! A ghost is coming!"
The Beggars' Army poured into the city, accompanied by the black smoke from the explosion, and from a distance, they indeed looked like evil spirits crawling out of the underworld.
Luo Cheng swung his spear, a flash of cold light passing by!
One of the Huns, who was still in a daze, had his head blown off in an instant.
Even more terrifying were the beggars who followed.
They charged straight at the Xiongnu, carrying endless resentment towards them.
The scimitar in his hand, the teeth in his mouth, and the head on his neck had all become murder weapons.
The entire army adhered to one principle: We're all just throwing our lives away! Let's fight!
Killing one is a win-win situation! Killing two makes you a profit!
Some even lit the explosives they were carrying and charged towards the densely populated area of the Xiongnu.
With a deafening roar, a large number of Xiongnu people were instantly killed.
Those who died were simply dead, but the Huns who survived but had their limbs blown off were truly miserable, lying on the ground wailing incessantly.
The scene was absolutely terrifying!
Seeing the immense power of the explosion, the remaining members of the Beggars' Army carrying explosives immediately brightened up!
They all seemed to be glowing green! The Huns had never seen anything like this before. Seeing the miserable state of their compatriots wailing on the ground, they turned and ran without any hesitation.
Facing this horde of ferocious and reckless beggars.
The already dwindling morale in Xuan'an City plummeted to rock bottom.
The defeat was like a flood that had burst its banks, and it was unstoppable.
What made the Xiongnu people feel even more desperate was that the people in the city had now joined in the chorus of beating a drowning dog.
These Xiongnu people looked around and found that there were enemies everywhere and no place to settle down.
As the gates of Xuan'an City were opened, Zhao Yun led a thousand Night Scouts to join the battle.
After Xu Hui and his remaining five thousand men finished their rest, they were all eager to rush into Xuan'an City to search for the Xiongnu.
Jia Xu stood there, stunned, watching the soldiers of the Beggars Army pouring into the city.
This tactic was something he had never seen before, and now he finally understood why Mu Zian said that from this day forward, there would be no impregnable city in the world before him.
Even with these slave-based beggars, they were able to conquer one of the largest cities in Liangzhou.
If it were those elite soldiers, breaking through the city would be as easy as drinking water.
Jia Xu bowed deeply and said in a slightly trembling voice.
"Been taught a lesson."
Mu Zian raised his arm slightly, and only said one thing in his heart.
"Raising your hand isn't an apology, it's just that you still have a lot of practice to do, little brother."
