"Hey! That thief! Do you dare to fight me?" The man who came was the vanguard general of Bingzhou.
Wang Erxi looked at him with strange eyes, and then looked behind him. The vanguard general felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and turned back, only to see that except for the city gate, the city walls on both sides had been blown down.
"Is this guy a fool? There is only one door, but he insists on coming out of it?" Wang Erxi asked the deputy general beside him.
The deputy general agreed and nodded repeatedly.
"Don't humiliate me, you evil general!" The vanguard general's face turned pale with anger. He squeezed his horse and rushed forward quickly. But at this moment, Wang Erxi picked up an iron pipe and nodded, and the deputy general quickly lit the fuse.
"Bang!" With a dull sound, the vanguard general's body trembled and slowly fell to the ground from his horse.
The expressions of the princes who were watching from a distance were extremely ugly.
Only King Xiang was still encouraging: "Let's go now. If we attack with all our troops, can't we defeat his mere few thousand men?"
Under his encouragement, some people were tempted, while others with bad tempers personally mounted their war horses and prepared to lead their troops forward.
But at this moment, smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, and hundreds of horses were running side by side. They slowly stopped when they ran into Wang Erxi's formation. It turned out to be another batch of artillery!
The man who brought the cannon said, "General Wang, this is an eagle cannon. It may not be as powerful as your siege cannon, but it is very effective against cavalry."
Seeing Wang Erxi set up another batch of strange things, and then standing there looking at them with an arrogant look on his face, the princes were all a little confused, but they knew that the other party seemed to be even more powerful.
Everyone stretched their necks to look.
"What's the point of fighting like this?" one of the princes said dejectedly.
Even King Xiang felt a little scalp numb. Those artillery pieces were enough to knock down the city walls just now, and now the other side has another batch of guns. How can they fight? No, I have to go back and ask Chu Zhaoning. Since she knows this thing, she can definitely make the same one!
The two sides were in a strange stalemate. They found that as long as they did not move to rush out, Wang Erxi would not move to attack them. It seemed that he came here just to attack the city wall.
Until the evening, suddenly a caravan passed slowly on the side road and headed straight towards Wang Erxi and his party. After the two sides met, Wang Erxi waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him packed up their weapons and drove away with the carriage.
"Just left like that?" someone widened their eyes.
"Are you really here to look for the caravan?"
Someone looked up at the crumbling city wall and asked, "Who are these people from the Taiping Dao?"
This encounter destroyed the confidence of the alliance. In the next few days, all the princes stopped discussing how to attack the Taiping Dao and how to distribute the spoils. Instead, they began to secretly send people to send letters to the Taiping Dao to show their goodwill.
However, the trend of unification was unstoppable. While those in power stood high on the city walls, the people under their rule were gradually mesmerized by the Taoist preaching from afar.
Bingzhou and Haozhou fell one after another, not because the Taiping Dao caravans disappeared, but because of internal strife. The defending generals listened to the preaching of those Taoists and had a yearning for the Taiping Dao. They actually united with the people to overthrow the once high-ranking princes in one fell swoop.
In Xuzhou, Prince Xiang looked at his wife who had pushed the door open, his face full of anticipation: "Zhaoning, how is it?"
Chu Zhaoning's face was not looking good. Before she traveled through time, she was just an ordinary college student who liked to read novels. How could she remember the ratio of gunpowder? She only heard her ex-boyfriend talk about nitre and disulfide, but she couldn't remember what the third part was.
