Chapter 717 Fracture
More and more people gathered.
Gu Qie asked in confusion, "Dad, does this really work?"
Gu Yu sneered, "Let's see if it works. This is your brother's idea. He's good at these things. He said there's methane here. After we pour these things in, it will activate the methane to its full potential. He also calculated that a southeast wind will blow here today, which will blow the poisonous methane gas into the sky. This is a place that Liao Jiu and his team must pass through..."
"What if they don't go to Sun City to support us? Didn't you say they were all seriously injured last night? What if they are timid and cowardly..."
A strange smile crossed Gu Yu's gloomy face. "They even dared to enter the enemy camp alone. They must go to Richeng to support them! This couple is extremely conceited. They will definitely pass by here today. We are ready. All we have to do is ambush here and strike them down! Your brother said that if we don't eliminate them, we can't take over the Da'an Kingdom. If we don't cherish this opportunity now, I'm afraid we will have no chance after Xuan Zhan returns."
Gu Qie said yes repeatedly, "Listen to my brother. My brother is very capable. Dad, is everything going well over there?"
“So far, so smooth!”
Others thought that the Aquarius Kingdom dared to plot against the Da'an Kingdom because Gu Yu broke through to the eighth level of strength.
In fact, they have another trick up their sleeve.
The real mastermind is behind the scenes.
As the two were talking, they saw a black owl flying over from a distance.
The target is directly aimed at Gu Yu.
The owl had a pair of big, ferocious eyes. It stopped in front of Gu Yu and stared at him blankly for a few seconds.
It was as if he was confirming that he had found the right person.
Then he made a vomiting gesture towards Gu Yu.
A small piece of paper came out of his mouth.
After Gu Yu picked it up and read it, the small note turned into ashes and scattered in the wind.
"Dad?" Gu Qie beside him asked hurriedly.
"There's news. The Da'an Kingdom has never had such powerful gunpowder weapons. The origin of the weapons Liao Jiu and his men are unknown. They weren't from the national treasury, and the quantity is certain to be small. He speculates that they've been mostly used up in Yuecheng. We shouldn't be afraid. Just do what needs to be done and proceed according to the original plan."
Gu Qie rubbed his hands excitedly, "That's great."
Damn it, they were worried all night.
He also led his troops to flee.
"It seems that bringing the troops of these four small countries to die this time was a good decision. Without them to consume these gunpowder weapons, it really won't work."
Gu Yu's sarcasm was evident. "Gunpowder weapons are inherently consumable. Unless they can produce them continuously, if they ever run out, it will be the end of the Da'an Kingdom! The Da'an Kingdom doesn't have the ability to manufacture such weapons. We can definitely wear them down with just a bunch of people. Once Liao Jiu and his wife are eliminated, everything will be easy."
"Uh-huh."
While the two were talking, their subordinates had already completed all the tasks they had assigned them.
Gu Yu waved his hand, and the elite team of a hundred people all hid in the grass.
Everyone is a master of internal energy. They hide in the grass, wearing grass clothes and grass rings, and use their internal energy to hold their breath so that no one can sense their breathing.
Even the small animals couldn't be noticed, jumping around them.
Gu Yu asked Gu Qie to quickly catch up with the main force.
"Don't worry about this place. I'll be all right here. Lead the army to Sun City and pretend to attack the city. Wait for news from me. There's a spy in the Four-Nation Alliance. They must have told Moon City about our whereabouts. We can use their trick to ambush them."
"Okay, Daddy!!"
Gu Qie said no more, turned around and rode away with his guards.
Chasing the army ahead.
***
Da'an Kingdom, the capital.
In the imperial palace, inside the imperial study.
Dabao is reviewing memorials. He is now able to take over the reviewing of memorials alone.
Every day, what he looked forward to most was the reports on the progress of the war...
Where has the main force set out to now? Where has the food and grass arrived? What is the situation of the three border cities, Sun City, Moon City, and Cloud City?
Battle reports are collected every day and are specially compiled into books by officials. The daily battle reports are classified and organized clearly. Dabao has to read it several times a day.
Early this morning, the Minister of War and others brought today's front-line battle reports into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
The old ministers all saw how diligent the young emperor was. He spent almost all day and night eating and sleeping in the imperial study.
He was either handling affairs or having teachers from the Hanlin Academy come in to teach him. He went to bed late and got up early, and was never late for court in the morning. In the past, the late emperor was also diligent, but unexpectedly, the new little emperor was even more diligent.
Although he is still young, he already has wrinkles on his forehead.
Several old ministers couldn't stand it any longer, "Your Majesty, you need to get more rest. You are still growing up. There are some things you don't need to do yourself. Let others do it..."
They compared their children and grandchildren of the same age in their own home, who lived a carefree life, loved by their parents and elders, often acting like spoiled brats in their elders' arms, and spent their days either eating and sleeping, or taking the servants out to play.
On the other hand, their new emperor is so diligent and talented, it is really shameful!
May God bless the country of Da'an and give it this new emperor.
They were also worried that the young emperor was too exhausted and that it would be bad for his health. Before, Emperor Xuan died because he was too diligent after ascending the throne and suffered from a headache.
Dabao said, "Thank you all for your concern. I'm fine. I know my health, and I know how to handle it. Where is the food supply at the moment?"
On the large desk in front of him was a panoramic map of Da'an Kingdom.
On the map, he drew several symbols with a pen, marking key cities, marching routes, and special areas.
The old minister of war stepped forward and pointed at the little emperor.
"The war report says that the food and fodder have arrived here. It's still several large cities away from the border city. However, even with the latest war report, it took five or six days to get there. I'm sure it's almost reached the border city by now."
"The situation in Yuecheng is the most dangerous. I don't know what's going on."
Dabao murmured.
His parents did not return to Beijing to report.
If you want to know the fastest battle report on the border, only Liao Jiu and his wife can run back and forth.
They haven't come back yet. I don't know what happened over there that kept them there and left them no time to come back and report.
We can only speculate based on these battle reports that were released several days ago.
An old minister said, "Your Majesty, our Da'an Kingdom is blessed with good fortune. Everything will be fine. If anything goes wrong, it will be a close call!"
Another old minister beside him said, "Yes, we have the left and right regents in Da'an State, and we will definitely be able to overcome this danger."
Just finished speaking.
The inkstone placed in front of Dabao suddenly broke with a crisp sound.
Under everyone's eyes, the inkstone suddenly broke into two pieces.
