Chapter 623; Surprise

Author: Ran Xi Nian

Hearing this, King Jin nodded and was about to issue an order.

A veteran general in the tent quickly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. From the previous battle in Southern Xinjiang, you should be well aware of the strength of Southern Xinjiang."

"The top priority is that we should defend with all our strength and adopt delaying tactics. As long as we delay for a period of time, there will inevitably be pressure on the reserves in southern Xinjiang, and we will naturally be able to retreat."

The delaying tactics that the veteran general mentioned at this time were the result of discussions between King Jin and them after the last battle.

Southern Xinjiang has summoned a lot of troops this time, and people eat horses and eat horses, which requires a lot of consumption every day.

The agriculture in Southern Xinjiang is not as developed as that in Dongzhou. Food and grass are their shortcomings. Now that they have mobilized so many soldiers, as long as time is delayed, Southern Xinjiang can take the initiative to withdraw their troops.

"Old General Zhao, don't be anxious."

King Jin still had great respect for this veteran. He comforted him and immediately turned to look at Gu Jian.

"Do you have confidence?"

Hearing this, Gu Jian shook his head honestly.

This is a battlefield, who can guarantee victory?

"I can't give you any guarantee, but I will try my best to do it."

His words made King Jin frown, and the generals beside him also frowned.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Gu Jian still respected King Jin very much. After all, he was the future husband of their young lady. He would not look at the face of a monk but the face of a Buddha.

"The princess has prepared some things for me to bring to you. Would you like to see them, Your Majesty?"

"Oh? Yaoyao has come up with something new again? What is it?"

Gu Jian smiled and shook his head and said, "The prince will know it as soon as he sees it."

Then, Gu Jian turned around and faced outside. King Jin was very curious when he saw him like this.

"Old General Zhao, let's go and see him."

"Your Majesty."

"Old General Zhao, I believe in Princess Wanfu. She has never been the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation."

As soon as these words came out, the generals present looked startled.

Although most of them were stationed in the south and rarely returned to the capital, the reputation of Princess Wanfu was still well known to them.

Judging from the deeds of Princess Wanfu in the past, they also admire this princess very much.

"Okay, let's see what Princess Wanfu has prepared."

The group of people came out of the tent, and at this time Gu Jian had two more black clay pots in his hand.

Then the group of people followed him to a relatively open area in the military camp.

"Your Highness, please watch carefully."

After that, Gu Jian lit a clay pot in his hand and threw it away into the distance.

King Jin and others were still a little stunned.

What is this for? Are you using this thing to hit the enemy?

The idea has not been completely settled yet.

Boom!

An earth-shattering explosion sound came from a distance. King Jin and others mechanically turned their heads to look, and saw the place where the black pottery jar had just fallen. Dust was flying at this time.

Several people looked at each other with a look of astonishment on their faces.

"What's going on?"

After a while, King Jin came back to his senses, walked to Gu Jian, and stared at another black clay pot in his hand.

"This is something that Princess Wanfu has researched based on firecrackers. After being ignited, it can produce a violent explosion and explode with huge lethality."

"Prince Jin can go and have a look."

King Jin nodded, of course he knew about firecrackers, but although Dongzhou's firecrackers could also go off, they were not very powerful.

Soon, King Jin arrived in front of the big pit and his eyes widened.

"Is this what the black clay pot just made?"

Gu Jian nodded and said with a smile, "There is another one here. If His Highness Prince Jin doesn't believe it, you can give it a try."

"good."

Later, Gu Jian taught King Jin how to do it. A moment later, another loud noise came.

On the originally flat training ground, there was a large pit with a radius of two to three feet and a depth of two to three feet.

"This is what Yao Yao asked you to bring? How much is it?"

After a brief shock, King Jin immediately understood why Gu Jian said he was going to raid southern Xinjiang.

Darling, with such weapons of mass destruction, what's the point of a surprise attack on southern Xinjiang? If there are enough, he is confident that he can directly push back southern Xinjiang.

Gu Jian raised a finger.

King Jin was startled and said, "Ten?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a little distressed. He just released two of them at once. If these two were thrown into the crowd of the southern Xinjiang army, how many people would have to be killed?

"No, the princess has prepared a total of twenty carts, and I have brought ten carts this time."

"There are five large boxes on each vehicle, and each box contains fifty such bombs."

"What!"

King Jin was shocked, and so were General Zhao and others who followed him.

Ten carts, each with five boxes, and one box with fifty pieces, then one cart is 250 pieces, and ten carts is 2,500 pieces.

If each one has such great power, if they are released together, how will the southern Xinjiang camp be blown up?

"Didn't you say twenty cars? Why did you only bring ten cars?"

General Zhao suddenly became a little dissatisfied.

Why aren't all such huge weapons brought here? How dangerous is southern Xinjiang now?

However, Gu Jian was very polite to the King of Jin, but he was not polite to General Zhao at all.

"It's not just here that there's war."

Then, he talked about the Northern Chu envoy group and Lu Yaoyao's worries.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

"Yao Yao asked you to come here because he wanted to raid Southern Xinjiang and let the spies from Northern Chu see our power in Dongzhou, so that they would most likely compromise and come to reconcile honestly?"

"It's just part of it. The princess also wants to shock Southern Xinjiang and Northern Chu."

Speaking of shock, King Jin and others immediately felt blessed and turned to look at the two large craters blown up by the bomb.

This thing is simply a killer weapon, and it is indeed very intimidating.

"very good."

"Old General Zhao, immediately gather the troops to assist Gu Jian and others, and give those dogs in southern Xinjiang a big surprise."

At this time, General Zhao stopped talking nonsense and immediately accepted the call.

At this moment, he already understood Gu Jian's true intention of coming to raid southern Xinjiang. Even if there were no bombs, this battle must be fought.

Because if they don't fight, Beichu will think that Dongzhou is not an opponent of Southern Xinjiang. If they send troops again then, Dongzhou will face big trouble from enemies from both sides.

Only by showing one's own strength can Beichu be deterred from messing around.

Now that he has this bomb, he is confident that he will teach Southern Xinjiang a harsh lesson.

That night, rumbling explosions continued to be heard in the sky over Nandi, and the camp in Southern Xinjiang was in flames. The explosions stopped in the early morning.

"Hahaha, these bastards from Southern Xinjiang run pretty fast. If you run slower, I'll see if I don't blow you all up into the sky."

"Refreshingly, Princess Wanfu is truly a divine person."

At this time, the generals who came out to assist with Gu Jian were all very happy.
