Langya Pass.
Yun Zheng had mentioned this place countless times, but this was his first time to come to Langya Pass.
Langya Pass is at the source of Baishui River.
It was the coldest time of the year in the north, and the landscape was covered in white.
Yun Zheng brought a group of people to Langya Mountain Pass to check the terrain.
Because Jia Yao was there, he did not take out his clairvoyance and just looked at it with his naked eyes.
Looking up, the mountains look like wolf teeth.
The name Langya Pass came from this.
The frozen river flows through the mountain pass and spreads downstream.
The position where they had focused their defense was less than a hundred feet wide.
...
...
However, the surrounding terrain was too steep and rugged to accommodate horse-drawn wagons.
If you want to transport large quantities of supplies, you must open up a suitable road.
Without the assistance of explosives, this would have been an extremely huge project.
Of course, even with the help of explosives, this project is still not easy.
I'm afraid even ten thousand field soldiers won't be able to complete their mission before the spring.
We need to send more people!
Let’s go back and bring over another ten thousand prisoners!
Looking at the Langya Pass in front of him, Jia Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I were the leader of the army, I wouldn't have thought of attacking the Langya Pass."
"I won't plan to come here either."
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "However, if there is no better choice, I might take the risk."
There is a fatal flaw here.
It took the troops too long to pass through Langya Pass and also took a long time to assemble.
Jia Yao was speechless.
yes!
A better choice!
The Rift Wind Canyon would have been a better choice, but unfortunately, Yun Zheng had ambushed them in the Rift Wind Canyon many times.
They are all scared!
In this case, Langya Pass is a reasonable choice.
The two chatted for a while, and Yun Zheng quickly determined the location where the explosives were buried. After ordering his men to bury the explosives, Yun Zheng immediately led his men to evacuate quickly.
Only after retreating far enough did Yun Zheng call Shen Kuan and order him, "Pass the order down. After three drum beats, light the explosives!"
"yes!"
After Chen Kuan sent someone back with the message, Yun Zheng ordered people to start beating the drums.
This time he deliberately left the fuse of the explosives very long, giving the person who ignited the explosives enough time to evacuate.
While waiting for the explosives to detonate, Yun Zheng covered his ears and signaled Jia Yao to cover her ears as well.
However, Jia Yao shook his head solemnly.
She wanted to feel the power of this thing again.
Seeing that Jia Yao insisted, Yun Zheng stopped persuading her.
"boom……"
As they were expecting, a deafening explosion finally sounded.
“Boom…Boom…”
Then, the second and third sounds...
There was a loud explosion, and even though they were far enough away, they could still feel the ground shaking.
Fires broke out in the mountains and rocks flew everywhere.
After adding sugar, the power of the explosion was indeed greatly increased.
The sound of explosions made Jia Yao's ears buzz.
But even so, Jia Yao did not cover his ears, but just stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
This time the scene is even more shocking than last time.
It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jia Yao's heart trembled continuously.
This time, she learned from Yun Zheng that this thing was called dynamite.
But she only knew a name.
She had no idea how the explosives were made.
Of course, Yun Zheng would definitely not let her know.
She knew that Yun Zheng intended to shock her, but she was still shocked.
Any general with a little foresight should know the great effect of this explosive.
With explosives, those tall city walls will no longer be insurmountable barriers.
When attacking a city, there will no longer be a need to sacrifice human lives.
In other words, there is no need to rely entirely on clever strategies and human lives.
If she had had explosives in her hands when she negotiated with the Guifang before, she would definitely have dared to directly attack the Guifang royal city with just that small number of people.
Aren’t the benefits gained from conquering the Guifang King’s City greater than those gained through hard negotiations?
She was keenly aware that explosives would become Yun Zheng's powerful weapon to conquer the world.
After a long time, the explosions stopped, but the noise in the mountains still did not stop.
The sound of landslides and rolling rocks continued to be heard, and there was smoke and dust everywhere.
After a long time, Jia Yao came back to his senses with difficulty and looked at Yun Zheng with a complicated expression, "If this explosive is thrown out by a catapult, there should be few cities that can resist it, right?"
“It’s not that exaggerated!”
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "There is nothing omnipotent in this world. In the final analysis, any war still depends on people!"
Even the advanced explosives in previous lives cannot be said to be indestructible.
The city walls can definitely play a huge role in defending the city.
Explosives can only be used as an aid.
To conquer a city, you still have to rely on people in the end.
“No way!”
Yun Zheng was telling the truth, but Jia Yao didn't believe it.
However, this is exactly the effect Yun Zheng wanted.
Let Jiayao let her imagination run wild!
He knew that Jia Yao was unwilling to accept this, but Jia Yao was a smart man.
He only hopes that Jiayao can make the right choice, and always make the right choice!
"Pass the order down, have the Tian soldiers build shacks nearby first, and then enter after the situation in the mountains stabilizes!"
Yun Zheng instructed Shen Kuan again.
Although he was anxious to build bridges and repair roads, it was impossible for him to let Tian Bing start working right now.
If there is a landslide anywhere, hundreds of people may die.
"How long are we going to stay here?"
Jia Yao asked absentmindedly.
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Let's go back the day after tomorrow! I have to meet with officials from Shuofang tomorrow, and then go to Shuofang to have a look..."
Now that I'm here, I must take a tour of Shuofang.
This was also the first time he returned to Shuofang after leaving Shuofang.
"Oh, that's good."
Jia Yao forced a smile.
Go back early!
The person she sent back to the royal court to inquire about the situation should be back soon.
The sooner she can bring the potatoes back to Beihuan, the sooner she will feel at peace.
"Let's go back to Shuofang and rest first! We will set off for Dingbei early the day after tomorrow."
Yun Zheng called out to Jia Yao and mounted his horse.
Jia Yao nodded slightly and then climbed onto the horse.
On the way to Shuofang, Jia Yao was absent-minded the whole time.
Yun Zheng didn't know what she was thinking, nor did he deliberately interrupt her thoughts.
By the time they rushed back to Shuofang, it was already dark.
Although Yun Zheng is no longer in Shuofang, his previous mansion in Shuofang is still preserved.
There are also several servants in the mansion who clean the house every day.
Until dinner time, Jia Yao looked absent-minded.
The aftereffect of this... is quite strong!
Yun Zheng complained secretly, then went back to his room to rest and think about tomorrow's affairs.
After thinking for a while, Yun Zheng came to the desk and spread out a piece of paper.
“Knock, knock…”
He had just written less than a hundred words when there was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness, Madam Jiayao requests to see you."
Then, the guard's voice sounded outside the door.
Jiayao?
She comes to talk to me so late at night?
Or...sleeping with him?
