The man's smile froze.
This chariot was originally a catapult.
It was obvious to anyone with eyes that the Dongjin Army had loaded it with explosives.
"Bluster!" He slightly tugged at the corners of his lips, his smile returning.
He certainly did his homework before coming here.
He had a rough idea of how much gunpowder Ling Qi had brought last time.
He simply couldn't believe that the Dongjin Army would have so much explosives.
He looked at the soldiers behind him again.
"attack!"
Suddenly, a loud boom!
Thump thump thump~~~
Thump thump thump~~~~
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The sounds of cannon fire and gunfire, mixed with the high and low clatter of arrows, rang out.
Furthermore, it also included the cries of agony from the soldiers.
The troops at Dongjin, while rapidly unleashing artillery fire, began to retreat.
The enemy forces also retreated.
To avoid the artillery fire, a gap several meters wide suddenly appeared in the center of the two armies.
Both sides began a chaotic artillery battle.
Clearly, Dongjin's artillery fire had a longer range and greater power due to their catapults.
That's right, their gunpowder was far more powerful than that of the enemy's army.
Not just this time, but the last time was too.
However, their artillery had a single target.
Furthermore, there wasn't enough gunpowder.
Even though Ling Qi brought back quite a few, it's important to know that the enemy's army numbered as many as a million.
What does a million-strong enemy army mean?
The enemy soldiers, on the other hand, each had a pack of explosives.
Despite the series of loud bangs, the man in blue did not back down.
He was waiting, waiting for the moment when the Dongjin Army ran out of artillery fire.
His soldiers continued their valiant charge forward.
After running out of arrows, Qiu Dayu, Xia Minhan, and the others put away their longbows. They had been hiding in the shadows, but now they began to hurl bamboo tubes of explosives at the enemy.
They made the explosives themselves.
"We're almost out of arrows and gunpowder. Are we just going to stand by and watch?" Xia Minhan really wanted to rush forward and fight the enemy, but now the enemy had a large number of explosives.
"We can't just stand by and watch."
Qiu Dayu's eyes flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he saw his brother-in-law in the center of the army.
At this moment, Zhao Jun was near the chariot.
He pulled Xia Minhan along and said, "Let's go!"
Xia Minhan, "Where to?"
Qiu Dayu said, "Didn't that handsome man just say we were bluffing? Well then, we've confirmed that we were bluffing."
Inside the tent, Qiu Dafu listened to the booming cannon fire outside, and his heart sank.
It's been half an hour already. When will this gunfire finally stop?
Besides worrying about Gu Qian, he was also worried about his fifth brother.
The old military doctor sat beside Gu Qian, taking his pulse.
Although I am trying to ignore the war outside,
However, he could never accurately detect the pulse with his single hand.
"Medical officer, how is she?" Qiu Dafu asked in a deep voice.
"Sigh!" the old army doctor sighed.
"The pulse is weak and shallow; the situation is not optimistic."
He could tell the pulse was weak and superficial without even needing to feel it.
"When will the general wake up?" This is the question Qiu Dafu has been asking most often these days.
He had originally thought he would be able to go home soon, but unexpectedly, the battle broke out today.
The old military doctor shook his head helplessly.
"Maybe now, maybe tomorrow, maybe a few days later, maybe..."
"He will definitely wake up." Qiu Dafu stopped the old military doctor from continuing.
He sat down in front of the stove and began to decoct the medicine.
These days, he has been working day and night, and his eyes are bloodshot from lack of sleep.
