Chapter 169 Making Explosives
Yu Mengqing nodded and had no objection to this.
"Are there three lines of defense in total?" Yu Mengqing asked.
"Yes, this is the third one. A few kilometers ahead is the second one. As for the first one, it is the most dangerous and the most critical one. It is about thirty miles away from Manhuangzi."
This time, Cui Guanru explained very attentively.
Yu Mengqing nodded and didn't pursue the matter any further.
"How many troops do you have now?" Yu Mengqing asked again.
"Less than 70,000."
"What is that open space used for?" Yu Mengqing asked again, pointing to the open space in front.
"For training, I will train them for one to two hours every day." Cui Guanru said again.
Yu Mengqing nodded, then walked to an open area to observe.
This place is several miles away from the second line of defense.
The second line of defense is also several miles away from the first line of defense.
In this way, if the Savages want to defeat their invasion, they must break through these three lines of defense.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Mengqing pointed out her own views on the three lines of defense.
It was also at this moment that Cui Guanru, who was standing by, truly understood that the person in front of him was not at all worthy of the word "useless".
With just a casual glance, he could understand the key points of these defense lines. How could a loser understand that?
Yu Mengqing didn't know what Cui Guanru was thinking.
At this time, all she could think about was the saltpeter in her space.
Due to production during this period, the space has not been upgraded much.
I don't know if I can upgrade it to guns and artillery shells for her if I upgrade it again?
If you can, it would be so cool.
But now that there is saltpeter in the space, it is obvious that explosives can be obtained.
Thinking of this, she had to go into the space again at night to assign some tasks to Xiao Hei.
At this moment, Xiao Hei in the space sneezed for no reason.
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in my heart.
"Tomorrow, clear out a space in that place for me. I need it." Yu Mengqing instructed Cui Guanru again.
Cui Guanru, who had been criticized before, nodded quickly this time and responded quickly: "Okay, General Yu."
Hearing this, Yu Mengqing turned sideways and looked at him very calmly, but did not say anything.
For a moment, Cui Guanru really didn't know what she was thinking.
He originally thought that Yu Mengqing was just an ordinary woman.
Just from the time he spent with her, he realized how stupid he was.
Whether it's from the way she speaks or does things, or the aura she exudes intentionally or unintentionally.
Everything tells her that she is not just a simple woman.
Especially the tone she used when she was pointing out the three lines of defense to me just now, she was totally different from the useless person rumored by others.
She could easily understand the significance of the three lines of defense on the battlefield, and could even directly put forward some better suggestions.
Such a person is indeed worthy of the emperor's use.
At this time, Cui Guanru really felt inferior to him.
He doesn't understand anything else, but he does have self-knowledge.
Yu Mengqing didn't know what Cui Guanru was thinking. At this moment, she was thinking about the things in the space.
The expedition would begin in three days, so she had to prepare the explosives as soon as possible.
With their current strength, even if they added another 100,000 troops, they might not be able to defeat the barbarians.
The barbarians have always had sufficient soldiers and horses, and each of them is tall and powerful. In terms of strength, they already have an advantage.
And according to the statistics just now, they only have a total of 170,000 troops.
The Savage Country has as many as 220,000 people, and they are also not at an advantage in terms of numbers.
If you don't have an advantage in either strength or head count, you must come up with some new ideas if you want to win.
At this time, Yu Mengqing already understood that if the explosives were not produced.
No matter how powerful she is, there is no need to continue this war.
That night, after dinner, Yu Mengqing entered the space again.
Xiao Hei stayed in the space during this period of time. Coupled with the premonition today, it did not react at all after seeing Yu Mengqing.
I knew that the sneeze today was not in vain. My master will definitely enter this space today.
really.......
"Xiao Hei..."
"Just say it if you have something to say!" Xiao Hei said weakly.
No need to guess, it must be another task.
"Is the saltpeter still in our little dark room?" Yu Mengqing asked slyly.
Xiao Hei rolled his eyes and said, "If you're not here, how can I still eat it?"
However, after seeing the cunning look of his master, Xiao Hei probably guessed what was going to happen.
He rolled his eyes and continued, "But don't worry, the explosives you requested are already prepared."
Xiao Hei didn't expect that his master was because of this matter.
Fortunately, it was self-aware and had prepared the bomb early on.
"Xiao Hei, you are awesome. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Yu Mengqing said excitedly.
"Anything?"
"Of course!"
"I want to go out!"
"Hiss...this..."
"Look, look, it's started again." Xiao Hei said dissatisfiedly.
Every time the owner talks about going out, he looks embarrassed.
It didn't understand. It was just a cat. What could anyone do to it?
When Yu Mengqing met Xiao Hei's resentful eyes, she probably knew what it was thinking.
After thinking about it, he finally nodded in agreement.
"However, you must not be too active during the day. It's best to come out at night. I don't want you to be in danger, understand?"
Yu Mengqing reminded again and again.
Seriously, since she plans to live here for a long time.
To get information, I still have to rely on Xiao Hei.
In addition, ever since the last upgrade of the space and the upgrade of Xiao Hei, my feelings for it have grown deeper and deeper.
It can be said that she has regarded Xiao Hei as her own child.
She didn't want Xiao Hei to have another accident.
"I know, I know. I don't move around much. I basically stay by your side. Is that okay?" Xiao Hei said.
"That's more like it. Take me to see the explosives you made!"
Now Xiao Hei was obedient. Without saying a word, he took Yu Mengqing and walked towards the small black room.
"Just these few?" Yu Mengqing asked, pointing at the explosives beside her.
At first glance, there are only about ten of them, which is not enough at all.
"You only have this much saltpeter. Can I produce it myself?" Xiao Hei asked back.
"well......"
