But the man who came up with this idea still hadn't given up. He changed his train of thought and continued, "Maybe it's a new type of firecracker?" As soon as this guess came out, he felt it was not right. "That's not right either. The prince said it was a new type of weapon to be used on the battlefield, but how can firecrackers help in fighting? Cheer us up? Give us encouragement?"
"Yes, if they really were firecrackers, were they used to cheer us on on the battlefield? The princess doesn't look like someone who would fool around, and the prince doesn't look like someone who would fool around with the princess either."
"Stop guessing, stop guessing!" Seeing that the speculation was getting more and more outrageous, even the firecrackers were guessed, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore. They waved their hands, interrupting this meaningless speculation, and made a conclusion: "Anyway, no matter what, the princess will definitely not do anything to harm us. There is no need for us to guess here. Anyway, when we go to the battlefield, we will see the princess's secret weapon. All we have to do now is to follow the prince's instructions and cooperate with the Divine Fire Camp."
This statement was unanimously agreed with by everyone. Although the Divine Fire Battalion was a small group that was separated out, they were still selected from among them. Moreover, when the prince selected the candidates, everyone had equal opportunities. In the end, 500 people stood out. Later, the princess selected a few more, and in the end, only those 200 people were admitted.
No one was jealous of this result. Although they were now members of the Divine Fire Camp and were under the command of Yun Wanwan, they were still brothers from the same army after all. Generally speaking, they were all under the command of Rong Chengxuan. In essence, there was no change and they were still brothers.
Therefore, the soldiers unanimously decided to fully cooperate with the secret plan in the back mountain and listen to Rong Chengxuan's words. They were no longer curious about the secret new weapons in the back mountain, and no longer discussed them. They would be able to see them when they arrived on the battlefield.
As for the training of the Divine Fire Camp, Yun Wanwan only monitored it on the first day and let them do it on their own for the rest of the time. As long as no one died, it was fine.
After handing over the task, Yun Wanwan only took a short time every day to go to the back mountain to see how their training was going. She spent most of the rest of her time in the laboratory making her gunpowder bombs, grenades and other things.
These are all consumables. To be honest, Yun Wanwan followed Rong Chengxuan all the way here, not just to beat the people of Western Zhou back to Western Zhou, she was heading for the capital of Western Zhou.
Since you have been coveting Beichen for a long time, why doesn't she just be straightforward and turn Xizhou into Beichen's? Wouldn't that be a disguised way of fulfilling Xizhou's wish?
A few days later, Rong Chengxuan made a decision to lead his army to Shizhou. However, since Cizhou wasn't completely safe either, Rong Chengxuan left Yun Wanwan behind, along with Xiao Song. Yun Wanwan asked Rong Chengxuan to bring half of the Divine Fire Battalion to Shizhou, with Ge Zichen in charge.
On the first night after Rong Chengxuan arrived in Shizhou, he did not give himself or his enemies any breathing time. He directly led the 150,000 troops he brought from Cizhou to attack Rongcheng and took it back from the hands of the Western Zhou people.
The 200,000 troops originally left behind in the Shizhou area were not within his plan at all. When he saw Rong Chengxuan entering the city, he didn't even glance at them, and rushed towards Rongcheng with his troops without saying a word.
To what extent did Rong Chengxuan ignore them?
There wasn't even a pre-war deployment meeting. What's more, he didn't even get off his horse when he arrived in Shizhou. He just sat on his horse and looked in the direction of Rongcheng for a while.
Until night fell, he waved the general's flag and led his army to Rongcheng in a mighty manner. The whole journey took only a few hours in Shizhou.
Rongcheng, which had always been considered by the army stationed in Shizhou to have a particularly tight defense, and had a total garrison of over 500,000 troops including the allied forces of the Western Zhou Dynasty, was actually not that good either. Under the attack of Rong Chengxuan's army, it was like tofu dregs and was broken through almost without any process.
Even the 200,000 onlookers from Shizhou didn't react in time. Suddenly, they heard loud noises, and then the walls of Rongcheng collapsed. The enemy troops above fell down one after another, just like dumplings.
Not only the army stationed in Rongcheng was panicked, but even the 200,000 troops in Shizhou were panicked. No one knew what means Rong Chengxuan had used to capture Rongcheng in the blink of an eye.
They could even see the Western Zhou army fleeing in panic, treating Rong Chengxuan as if he were the King of Hell, and anyone who got close to him would die.
Some people looked relatively carefully and found that the loud noises came from something thrown out by some people in Rong Chengxuan's army. They couldn't tell what it was, but they only knew that after the thing was thrown out, it exploded as soon as it landed on the city wall of Rongcheng. Not only was the noise loud, but the destructive power was also quite large.
Once that thing was thrown out, a hole would appear in the city wall with a loud bang. Rong Chengxuan's army threw that thing more and more, and it exploded more and more, so the wall naturally collapsed. Rong Chengxuan didn't even need to break down the city gate in this battle. He just let his men throw that thing into Rongcheng and watch the city wall collapse in front of them.
The Second Prince of the Western Zhou Dynasty hadn't even set up his Dragon Swallowing Formation before Ge Zichen threw a grenade at him. Then, with a bang, the whole group of people, along with the Second Prince of the Western Zhou Dynasty, were blown away.
Rong Chengxuan hadn't even seen the legendary Dragon Swallowing Formation when the second prince of the Western Zhou Dynasty disappeared right in front of him.
Rong Chengxuan frowned subconsciously as he watched the Second Prince of the Western Zhou Dynasty being blown away. "Why did you blow him away? At least wait until they set up the formation and let me see what it looks like before you blow him up!"
Ge Zichen shrugged helplessly. Seeing that Rong Chengxuan had completely treated this battle as a leisurely stroll, he had to quickly remind him, "Your Highness, we are at war!"
Rong Chengxuan nodded, indicating that he understood everything: "I know! That's why I told you not to blow it up yet."
While Rong Chengxuan and Ge Zichen were talking, the walls of Rongcheng had already been blown away by the one hundred soldiers from the Divine Fire Battalion that Ge Zichen had brought with him. Rong Chengxuan's army entered Rongcheng through the collapsed walls and did not throw any more of that kind of thing.
