"Princess! Princess!" Xiao Song and Ge Zichen quickly pulled Yun Wanwan back. Ge Zichen said hurriedly, "Princess, if you really test the power of this mine for us, the prince will definitely kill everyone present when we return. Since I planted this mine, let me test it out."
After Ge Zichen finished speaking, he was about to step on the landmine with a fearless expression on his face. Yun Wanwan then realized that she had gone too far in joking and quickly pulled Ge Zichen back. "I was just joking with you guys, why did you take it so seriously? There's no way I would let myself try something like this."
After hearing Yun Wanwan's words, Ge Zichen immediately realized something. "Then, Princess, next time we go to the battlefield, I'll capture a few Western Zhou soldiers and have them test the power of this landmine for us."
Hearing Ge Zichen say that, Xiao Song slapped him directly, "Are you stupid? The mine is buried here. If someone steps on it carelessly, it will explode. Then we will be the ones affected. Since the princess chose to test the power of this mine on us, she must have come prepared."
"Yes, we don't need to test it ourselves, nor do we need to wait until we capture the Xi Zhou people. In fact, testing this landmine is very simple." Yun Wanwan echoed Xiao Song's words, and then said to Xiao Song, "Shoot an arrow at the place where the landmine is buried. Control the force, and don't use too little."
As she spoke, Yun Wanwan pulled the bow and arrow she had prepared for Xiao Song from the carriage. She had seen Xiao Song's archery skills before, and he was unerringly accurate, making him a master archer. It was just that she couldn't make a gun. If she could, and then select a few people with the same archery talent as Xiao Song to learn from, that would be a great help on the battlefield.
Xiao Song nodded and took the bow and arrow handed to him by Yun Wanwan. He tried it, and then shot the arrow without even aiming.
The moment Xiao Song let go, people subconsciously covered their ears and watched the arrows fall and the thunder explode. The deafening explosion sounded again, just like the grenade they had just tried. One rumbling sound after another was just like the noise made during thunder, except that the power of land mines and grenades was even greater than that of thunder.
As expected by Yun Wanwan, the soldiers were dumbfounded again. A piece of gunpowder, a bomb, a grenade, and a landmine completely refreshed the concepts of this small group of ancient people.
This time, Yun Wanwan's training left an indelible impression on them for the rest of their lives. Even though they later learned to use these weapons themselves, the shocking experience that was imprinted in their minds was only the first time Yun Wanwan gave them the training.
Later, some people even said that Princess An was not a person of this world at all, and that she was a god who had descended to earth. Gunpowder, bombs, grenades, and landmines were heavenly thunders that she brought down to earth.
Later, when Yun Wanwan heard this legend, she simply laughed. They were right. She was indeed unfamiliar with the people of this era; she was from another time and space, only the technology there was more advanced than here. This secret remained untold to Rong Chengxuan until her death.
The appearance of gunpowder bombs, landmines and hand grenades made the soldiers selected by Yun Wanwan eager to try them out. Yun Wanwan first told Ge Zichen and Xiao Song about it, and then handed the remaining gunpowder bombs, hand grenades and landmines to them.
Ge Zichen and Xiao Song were asked to lead these soldiers in practice, but Yun Wanwan did not let them practice with landmines first. She just took out the simulated landmines that she had made in her spare time and asked them to bury them. If they used real ones, it would be a real accident if they accidentally stepped on them.
For Yun Wanwan, the use of gunpowder, bombs, grenades and landmines does not require much technical knowledge. It is nothing more than throwing and burying. For gunpowder bombs and grenades, as long as you don't shake your hands and throw them in the wrong place, there will be no big problem as long as you don't step on the wrong place after burying the landmines.
Yun Wanwan asked Ge Zichen and Xiao Song to teach the soldiers how to use these gunpowder bombs and grenades. As for landmines, Yun Wanwan only asked them to pick out dozens of soldiers with better memory to practice.
After all, once a landmine is buried, it doesn't explode like gunpowder, which can be ignited and a rope pulled. Instead, it needs a heavy object or someone to step on it to explode. If you forget where you buried it right after burying it, isn't that the typical way to get yourself killed?
After Yun Wanwan told Ge Zichen and Xiao Song the points that needed attention, she let them go and deal with the soldiers. Yun Wanwan's principle was that as long as they didn't die, you could practice however you wanted.
After she released her power, she found a relatively cool place to study the formation that Rong Chengxuan had improved a little in the past few days. This formation was actually not unfamiliar to Yun Wanwan in the later generations.
This formation was used by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. It was first invented by Sun Bin during the Warring States period and was employed by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. Unlike Sun Bin, Zhuge Liang added a command platform in the middle, guarded by archers and infantry, to direct changes in the formation. Later generations believed there were 4416 different variations.
Unlike Sun Bin and Zhuge Liang, Yun Wanwan and Rong Chengxuan planned to add some gunpowder and bombs into it. In addition, Yun Wanwan also planned to use landmines to set up a formation.
While Yun Wanwan was drawing the formation, Ge Zichen and Xiao Song had already led their men to use up all the grenades and landmines. After Ge Zichen had thrown all the grenades, gunpowder and bombs, he came to report to Yun Wanwan with an unsatisfied look, saying that he had basically mastered the key points and would lead the soldiers to intensify practice in the next few days.
After Ge Zichen finished reporting to Yun Wanwan, he added that they didn't need actual grenades, as this would save on gunpowder and explosives. They could use rocks of similar weight instead. They also needed to intensify their practice of Rong Chengxuan's formations and mechanisms. Yun Wanwan also tried to come up with a few more formations, incorporating mines into their tactics.
Yun Wanwan nodded. Gunpowder bombs actually didn't require much technical skill to use, so there was no need to practice with live ammunition. The key lay in combining them with the formation mechanism.
Yun Wanwan didn't reveal any of this now because she felt she was never one to be defenseless. Furthermore, the Liu Xueyan incident had only just begun. Even though Rong Chengxuan had Xiao Song conduct a thorough investigation of the entire military camp, Yun Wanwan still couldn't completely relax. She feared there might be other spies lurking within Rong Chengxuan's army.
