Chapter 797 Clash - Meeting the Challenge
Everyone stared intently at the black ball, hoping it could unleash its full potential.
After an unknown amount of time, a deafening explosion rang out, and a group of Jin soldiers nearby were blown to pieces.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, one explosion after another rang out, and then a large group of Jin soldiers at the forefront were completely destroyed.
What's going on?
The old man was almost hysterical. This black powder was clearly his trump card, so why did it explode on their own people?
The head coach was also confused. He shook his head and looked at those throwing gunpowder, "How did you all throw it?"
The soldiers who were asked were naturally confused. They had clearly thrown it at the enemy, so why did it explode at their own feet?
The Jin army was completely baffled, while the Wei and Zhou armies burst into laughter.
Especially the group of culprits, at Yun Yichen's signal, raised the gunpowder in their hands high, "Is this what you're looking for?"
The Jin army was furious when they learned of this. Looking at the group of people again, they realized that the other side also had gunpowder.
Considering the explosion just now, it's likely that the real weapon was black powder.
"Xu Yunzhi..."
The old man's voice, imbued with inner strength, rang out, and Xu Yunzhi, who was following at the back, was pulled forward by Bai Moqin.
"What business does the Emperor of Jin have with the Crown Prince of Jin?"
Bai Moqin's words made the old man roll his eyes, and when he looked at Xu Yun, he no longer showed the same care and pity as before.
"You actually replaced all the gunpowder."
The old man did indeed have Xu Yunzhi transport the gunpowder to the frontier, but he wasn't responsible for all the resettlement. He thought at least these things would be fine, but little did he know that even with all the precautions, it's hard to guard against a traitor within the family, and in the end, he still fell to Xu Yunzhi.
Seeing the old man glaring fiercely at Xu Yunzhi, Yun Yichen couldn't help but raise his voice: "Old man, you're wrong. Those gunpowders weren't switched by Yunzhi, but by me."
Yun Yichen had mobilized many of his people to exchange for this batch of medicine, and seeing the other party so furious now, he felt quite pleased.
The Jin army had relied on gunpowder to dare to fight against the armies of the two countries, but now that their gunpowder was in the hands of others, the crowd began to stir involuntarily.
"My lord, what do we do now?"
The commander-in-chief was also feeling uneasy. He had been on the battlefield for so many years, and he naturally knew things that even ordinary soldiers knew.
The old man never expected things to take such a sudden turn. He glanced at the demoralized soldiers behind him, then at the high-spirited crowd opposite him, and quickly made a decision.
"Men of Jin, listen to my command! Follow me and fight them to the death!"
The old man rushed forward first, and no one survived where he went.
If even an emperor fought so hard, the soldiers naturally did not back down. In an instant, the entire battlefield turned into a living hell, with corpses strewn everywhere.
Xu Yunzhi stood there woodenly on the crossbow cart, staring at the horrific scene before him. He was nearly stabbed several times, but Ji Wenxuan saved him each time.
"Do you want to die? If you do, just say so, and this general won't hesitate to give you a sword strike."
Ji Wenxuan understood Xu Yunzhi's predicament, but standing there waiting to die was too cowardly. Thinking of the arrogant and unruly Crown Prince Xu when they first met, Ji Wenxuan felt inexplicably disappointed, even feeling a sense of frustration and disappointment.
Xu Yunzhi listened to Ji Wenxuan's words but did not refute them as before. Instead, he just stared at him quietly, like a puppet that could not move.
After dealing with another soldier who attacked Xu Yunzhi, Ji Wenxuan roared, "Xu Yunzhi, are you fucking crazy? Don't make me look down on you."
As soon as Ji Wenxuan uttered these words, a person appeared out of nowhere, taking advantage of Ji Wenxuan's lack of awareness, and thrust forward with a long spear.
"careful."
Xu Yun was startled and quickly pushed Ji Wenxuan away, but his own shoulder was cut and bleeding.
With a flick of his folding fan, the soldier's throat was slit and he collapsed to the ground.
Xu Yunzhi helped Ji Wenxuan up and looked at him worriedly. Seeing that he was alright, he then looked around.
"No, I can't let them keep fighting."
Although the Jin soldiers suffered more casualties, the Wei and Zhou states were not faring much better. So many corpses lay scattered on the ground; these were all human lives lost. How could he stand idly by?
Xu Yunzhi glanced at the highest point in the arena, then waved his folding fan and used his light-footed skill to quickly move over there.
Upon seeing this, Ji Wenxuan immediately understood what he was about to do and quickly followed him to help him move closer to the top. After overcoming numerous obstacles, Xu Yunzhi finally reached the best position.
He looked down at Ji Wenxuan, and when Ji Wenxuan nodded at him, Xu Yunzhi smiled.
"My fellow soldiers of Jin, I am Crown Prince Xu Yunzhi of Jin. As long as you lay down your weapons, I guarantee that you can return to Jin safely and see your parents, brothers, wives, children and elderly parents."
Xu Yunzhi repeated his words over and over again, while Ji Wenxuan stood beside him, just in case someone suddenly attacked him.
When Xu Yunzhi appeared earlier and called the old man "Father Emperor," many soldiers heard him. Now, seeing him standing against the wind in his blood-stained white robes, many soldiers who were nearby slowly lowered their weapons.
"Fellow soldiers of Jin, I am Ji Wenxuan of the Ji Family Army of the Great Zhou. Isn't our defense of our country just so that our families can have a peaceful and stable life? If you die, have you ever thought about what will happen to your parents, wives and children? Do you want to see them suffer?"
Seeing that some people were wavering, Ji Wenxuan simply joined Xu Yunzhi in shouting loudly.
The two men's voices traveled through the crowd, and were then relayed by Wei and Ji soldiers, so that soon everyone on the battlefield knew about it.
Upon hearing Xu Yunzhi's voice, the Emperor of Jin's eyes had lost their former tenderness. He glanced at the commander-in-chief not far away, then shouted. Instantly, several squads of personal guards and cavalry gathered, protecting the emperor and the commander-in-chief as they quickly ran backward.
"Zhong Lin, take our men and leave."
Yun Yichen watched the Emperor of Jin leave, glanced at Xu Yunzhi and Ji Wenxuan, and knew that Xu Yunzhi and Ji Wenxuan could handle the current situation, so he led a group of people to chase after them.
The departure of the Jin Emperor caused quite a stir, and seeing his commander-in-chief fleeing, Xu Yunzhi quickly intensified his persuasion efforts.
"I am the Crown Prince of Jin. If you want to live, lay down your weapons and I will ensure your safety."
Although Xu Yunzhi had spoken to this extent, a small number of soldiers still dared not easily put down their weapons.
"Soldiers, His Highness the Crown Prince's word is law. Let's lay down our weapons!"
