In the past, if one wanted to dig such a large pit by manpower, it would require dozens of people working at the same time and it would take two or three hours to complete.
Now that we have explosives, it only takes a moment for it to happen. How could he not be surprised?
At the same time, he also understood the Third Prince. Why was he able to win the war last year with a smaller force despite such a huge disparity in troop strength? It was all thanks to the explosives.
He believed that if there were no explosives, Beiling City would have been conquered by Beimo long ago, and Beimo's cavalry would have entered Zhongcheng, and the fight for the throne would have been nothing.
They must do their utmost to resist foreign enemies. After all, once the territory of the Great Zhou is occupied by the Northern Desert, the monarch will have to be replaced, so there is no need to fight for the position of crown prince.
But now it’s different. The third prince was the first to possess explosives and defeated the Northern Desert Army.
Before the arrival of this winter, the people of the Northern Desert will definitely not attack.
The reason for this is that the people of Beimo belong to the nomadic ethnic group.
The weather is warming up, the earth is reviving, and the thing that is least in short supply on the grassland is grass. The livestock raised by the people of the Northern Desert have no shortage of fodder to eat, and they will not risk attacking.
Even though the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered from continuous natural disasters last year, the grain harvest in the fields decreased, and even in some places there was no harvest at all, the national treasury was much emptier and the national strength was weakened.
If Beimo insists on sending troops, Da Zhou will not be afraid at all, not to mention that he and the third prince now have explosives.
Although he had not seen the power of the explosives on the Third Prince's side, he estimated that they would not be more powerful than his.
Realizing this fact, Jiang Kuizhi became very proud.
You know, with explosives, the army he leads will be invincible.
Even if the Third Prince had explosives in his hands, he would not be afraid. After all, no matter what, the Third Prince had limited troops, which were far less than his side.
"Someone come."
"General."
"Deal with the two men in the cave."
The personal guards took the order and left. Jiang Kui had the big hole that was blown up here filled up and then returned to the camp.
The first thing he did when he arrived at the tent was to ask his men to purchase a large amount of saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur.
Shen Yu and Qian Li, who were still in the cave, had no idea that the God of Death was quietly approaching them.
Shen Yu was still wondering if the general could really produce the explosives, while Qian Li was thinking about how to spread the news.
Just as the two were thinking about their own things, suddenly a black shadow floated down in the cave. In the blink of an eye, Shen Yu and Qian Li fell down with their eyes wide open, as if they didn't understand why General Yu just killed them like that.
However, they all knew that the general would do this because the explosives must have been successful and he wanted to kill people to silence them.
Soon, the bodies of Shen Yu and Qian Li were thrown into the deep forest. Large wild beasts would appear here at night. The fate of the two of them was self-evident. They became a pair of wild mandarin ducks until their death.
The courtyard where Li Mengyue temporarily lives in Beijing.
Li Mengyue was teasing the four babies and having fun when suddenly Tuanzi's voice rang out.
【Sir, I discovered a very interesting phenomenon.】
Li Mengyue held Sibao in her arms and smelled the milky fragrance coming from Sibao, and her cold and hard heart was about to melt.
I didn't take Tuanzi's words seriously and asked casually: [What's happening?]
[Su, I've noticed that someone in the capital is aggressively purchasing charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur.]
Hearing this, Li Mengyue paused. She didn't doubt Tuanzi's words, but asked him: "Are these three items purchased separately?"
[Yes, Suku, you guessed it right.]
