After receiving Qu Lingxian's letter, Prince Yin was silent for a long time. He sat quietly on the dragon throne with his head lowered. The black handwriting seemed very unfamiliar to him. He could never have imagined that Taoist Li was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
With such people helping Daliang, can he really realize his ambitions?
At this moment, Prince Yin also hesitated.
What worries him even more is that the gunpowder mentioned by Qu Lingxian in the letter, Daliang already has new gunpowder, while he still has the original gunpowder. Even if he asks the priest to calculate the new gunpowder now, the other party may not necessarily produce new weapons.
Such a gap will become more and more disadvantageous to them as time goes by.
Prince Yin had never thought that one day, the war between the two countries would be turned around by one person, like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea. No matter how strong the wind and waves are, they cannot push the other side in the slightest.
Compared to Tian Yanzi back then, the people they met were even more terrifying.
The appearance of this person is actually going to end this era.
Originally he thought that this person would be him, but who could have imagined that he would be a Taoist priest, and would put him in an irretrievable situation.
I will not be able to face my ancestors after my death.
Prince Yin sighed softly. He could already see the future of Zhao State, but before all this happened, he wanted to try again.
The world is still unsettled, but there may still be a glimmer of hope.
Yuzhou City
After Xiao Xuan's night attack, he followed Li Lezhi's instructions and led his men back to the city safely.
After seeing the city wall in the distance, everyone's face showed joy.
They didn't expect that their trip this time would be so smooth. It was like God's help, and they could go straight into the enemy's belly smoothly without any obstacles. All this was thanks to the Immortal Li.
After returning to the city, many people were looking forward to it. After getting Xiao Xuan's permission, they scattered and whispered to the people around them.
"You don't know, we followed General Xiao this time and were not discovered by the Zhao army. We even crossed the river easily. It was as if those people were blind. But this was also thanks to the time calculated by the immortal Li. If it weren't for the time calculated by the immortal Li, we would have been discovered by the Zhao army's scouts before we reached the middle of the river."
"The danger here is so great that you have to hang your head on your belt. After we crossed the river, we scattered again and followed the direction given by Immortal Li to deal with those scouts without letting the Zhao army notice it at all. Then, we ambushed next to the Zhao army, and when they were all confused, we threw the black bullets out of our arms. If you haven't been there, you don't know what it feels like. It's as satisfying as if I had picked up ten taels of silver for nothing."
"Later, black bombs exploded in the Zhao army camp. The noise shook the heavens and the earth. There were huge pits everywhere. The Zhao army was so scared that many of them were blown up before they even noticed. The rest panicked and wanted to dodge, but they couldn't dodge. The black bombs were like fireworks, one after another. I only remember that when I left, the fire from the Zhao Kingdom illuminated half the sky."
"Because they were panicked and confused, they didn't even know we were retreating, and no one sent troops to chase us. Before we left, we even blew up their ship..."
The speaker's eyes lit up and he used all his vocabulary to describe the scene. He wanted to make it sound even more appealing, just like a storyteller. However, he racked his brains and could only describe it as best he could according to the scene at the time.
Even though he spoke in a bland way, it was not exciting enough, and there was not much story, but the people around him
The people around were still listening with great interest, their eyes shining from time to time. After hearing about the miserable plight of Zhao's army, they clenched their fists excitedly and cheered.
(w)?
I wish I was there and was part of it.
(w)?
It was not enough to just listen to one person's words, they also asked others who were going to the night raid to tell their stories. The others did not refuse and repeated what they heard again. Even if it was the same thing, they still heard it as if it was the first time.
(w)?
In the end, I had said it so many times that the listeners had memorized it, so I stopped pestering them.

When they went to sleep, they were still thinking, how great it would be if they were the ones who went this time. They wondered if Immortal Li would make another calculation, and whether the general would lead people to raid again.
If there is such an opportunity again, they will never let it go.
After knowing the situation, Li Le nodded secretly. This was the best situation. With black bullets and artillery, Daliang did not need to be afraid of Zhaoguo's attack at all. Instead, Zhaoguo would not be able to sleep.
However, Li Lezhi was also worried that the ability of Qu Lingxian, the priest of Zhao State, should not be underestimated. He didn't know whether he could figure out the manufacturing method of black bombs and cannons.
Because of this worry, Li Lezhi still did not leave Yuzhou City. He planned to wait until everything was settled and there would be no more unexpected events before taking Zhao Cong back to the capital.
As for Liangzhou City, Li Lezhi also sent the production methods of black bullets and artillery to Liangzhou City. With these two powerful weapons, there is no need to worry about the battle between Liangzhou and the Snow Country. They will definitely be able to defend themselves, and may even attack the Snow Country in the opposite direction.
What Li Le had not expected was that Zhao State had not sent troops to attack Yuzhou City for a month. This strange situation was like the calm before the storm, as if they were developing some powerful weapon. Could it be that he had really guessed right that the other party was making black bullets and artillery?
Li Le only calculated one divination, and the result was what he expected. The other party was really self-controlled.
This discovery made Li Le's pupils tremble. He really could not relax at all, nor could he underestimate Zhaoguo.
The other party can make gunpowder. With iron and Priest Qu, they may be able to make black bullets.
They can't wait any longer. If they give the other side time to develop, who knows what will happen. By that time, it will be time for a firearms competition, and they will not be able to use dimensionality reduction attacks at all.
Wouldn’t the unification of the world become a bubble?
In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Li Le only told Xiao Xuan the situation he had calculated. He knew nothing about war, so he let Xiao Xuan make the decision.
Xiao Xuan also knew the seriousness of the matter. They were now ahead of Zhao State because of gunpowder and black bullets. Of course, if neither side had these things, with Taoist Li around, they in Daliang would not be afraid of Zhao State.
But now the other side has also begun to develop black bullets and are even developing artillery. He is very aware of the dangers of these two things. If the other side really develops them, the death toll on both sides will be more terrifying than before.
Xiao Xuan didn't want to see this kind of situation.
If Daliang wins, they will be able to incorporate the territory of Zhao into their map, and the people of Zhao will also be the people of Daliang in the future.
Therefore, only by waiting until the other side has developed the weapon can we minimize casualties and quickly eliminate the other side.
Xiao Xuan immediately formulated a plan to attack Zhao State, but he was a little hesitant about the artillery. The artillery was too heavy, and it would not be easy for them to carry the artillery forward and cross the river.
If they did not start from Yuzhou, but from Zhangzhou and other places, it would also take a lot of time. After two or three months, giving Zhaoguo time, the danger they would face would be even greater.
Such a situation

Xiao Xuan also only told Li Le about his thoughts?(?)?[(w.)]18 Come?Read the latest chapter?Full chapter?(w)?,
Li Le felt mixed emotions after hearing this, this was a musket. Iron muskets could also be manufactured, but mass production was still somewhat difficult, and not everyone could be equipped with one. Compared to artillery, muskets had many problems with accuracy, and there was also the risk of explosion.
With so many questions in mind, Li Le only remembered that in addition to iron, muskets could also be made of bamboo and wood.
Firearms made of bamboo and wood are more likely to explode than those made of iron, and cannot be used many times, so their lifespan is very short. However, because bamboo is easier to obtain than iron, bamboo firearms can be produced in large quantities and quickly, and can be equipped with more soldiers.
At this time, the bamboo musket is more useful than the iron musket.
Li Lezhi also mentioned the bamboo rifle. Xiao Xuan thought about it for a while and decided to use the bamboo rifle.
They couldn't wait any longer and had to make a quick decision.
As for the rest, we will wait until they attack the city gate of Zhaoguo and then transport the artillery over to make Zhaoguo unable to fight back.
As Xiao Xuan made the decision, Li Lezhi also figured out the method of making the bamboo rifle and handed it over to the craftsmen.
With the method of making the bamboo musket, the craftsmen had no hindrance and soon made the bamboo musket.
After the bamboo rifle was made, Xiao Xuan tried it out personally. Looking at the range of the bamboo rifle, and the fact that it was difficult to control the direction when using it, there would be a certain deviation, but a distance of one hundred was enough to decide many things.
It is far from what it was before. If Zhao State had not developed the black bullet, it could still have dealt a considerable blow to the enemy with its bamboo muskets. Moreover, the production of bamboo muskets consumed very few materials, unlike the black bullets, which were reluctant to use.
After four or five hundred bamboo muskets were made, Xiao Xuan immediately assembled a team of people and asked them to use the bamboo muskets.
Then he took his men and headed towards the Zhao army.
Li Le just stood on the city wall, watching the troops leave. He wanted to tell his fortune but was reluctant to do so for fear of getting bad news.
I was hoping that Zhaoguo had not yet produced the black bomb.
Zhao Cong stood on the city wall, lying there watching Xiao Xuan's departing back, and asked in a low voice: "Master, will General Xiao succeed?"
"Yes," Li Le just touched his head and said in a faint voice.
The sound without any ripples dispelled the tension in Zhao Cong's heart. This was the first time that they had launched a counterattack in Daliang.
He also knew that Zhao State might be able to develop what his master had calculated. General Xiao went there this time to nip everything in the bud before the other party developed it.
But if the other party figures it out, General Xiao’s life will be in danger this time.
Since the master said it would succeed, General Xiao would definitely come back, Zhao Cong firmly believed.
Ever since he knew that this might be a war that would lead to the destruction of the country, Qu Lingxian had been working day and night and had not been able to relax for a moment. He kept asking spiritual questions, trying to find an alternative way to make gunpowder, and it would be best if he could calculate everything that Daliang had calculated.
In addition to him, Prince Yin, who was far away in Kyoto, also ordered craftsmen to study and try to improve gunpowder.
After a month of hard work, the gunpowder was finally improved successfully. They also developed gunpowder made of iron, imitating the style of the beam and making a circle.
