Hanzhong.

A group of refugees who rose up due to hunger and ignorance swept across the central and western parts of Hanzhong County in a short time. Among them, in addition to the slow response of Zhao Ben and the local officials of Qin under their rule, and the intensified freezing disaster, it was also because there was a wise military commander among the refugees.

Lv Ze.

After nearly two years of escape, several generals under the command of King Liu Bang of Han finally returned to Hanzhong, a place where Liu Bang once fought.

Among the men of the Lu family, Lu Ze's military talent was the most outstanding. Even among the generals of the Han army, Lu Ze's performance was no less than that of Li Shang, Zhou Bo and others.

However, after the Han army retreated to Nanjun, Lu Ze's talent had no room for development. Three warships fled from Yingdu and were robbed and killed by the thief Yingbu in the river. Compared with Yingbu, Lu Ze was still worse than Yingbu. As for the time he defected to Chen Yu, because of Chen Yu's distrust, Lu Ze's hands were only 3,000 troops. In the battle with more than 100,000 people, Lu Ze was silent.

This time, Lu Zhi and Ying clan succeeded in inciting refugees and Qiang people in Hanzhong. This was inseparable from Lv Ze's strong support in secret. One group of refugees' leaders were sent to Lv Ze for training, and the brief teaching made these refugees' leaders even more crazy in the subsequent robbery.

Having one's own strength and building a Lu family army that truly belongs to the Lu family is the choice made by Lu Ze and Lu Zhi after learning from the pain. The migrant armed forces in front of them are their greatest expectation.

In the cruel killing, the fierce soldiers stood out. Only when these refugees were covered with the blood of the Qin people would they follow them wholeheartedly.

Capture the Jushui soldiers.

Lv Ze is bound to win.

Now, what Lu Ze is most lacking is soldiers. All the Qiang women are big feet and can carry heavy objects. As long as they can run, they are also lobbying and mobilized by Lu Zhiying and others. The ones they lack the most are weapons. Originally, Lu Ze thought that only one military branch guarded by more than 250 military marquis could be successfully captured in just one round of attack, but reality surprised him.

He was surprised by the tenacity of the soldiers and guards. These local county soldiers, which were not even the second-line troops in the Qin army, had burst out with unusual combat power. What surprised Lu Ze even more was that these guards also used a mysterious weapon that they had never seen before.

This kind of thing that refugees call "Sky Fire" makes people feel scared.

It has no trace.

As long as the enemy lights the fire and guides it into the pot with a long hemp rope, it can fry the solid pottery earthen pot to pieces. The gravel and sharp iron-smelting impurities inside scatter and penetrate straight into the human body, making the soldiers hit miserable.

Fortunately, these earthenware jars are not all useful, and more often they are just a false alarm.

Peng Sheng looked sadly and looked at the messy pots inside the house in a mess. On the walls outside, there were also a pile of nitro earth, a pile of charcoal, and a push of sulfur.

The nitrification soil is produced on Ziwuling behind it, and the same is sulfur. Charcoal is left behind when the army creates fire. These things were originally one of the raw materials for Peng Sheng to refine pill recipes in private. Although he left Shu County and Peng Zu's inheritance, Peng Sheng did not give up on the things he liked.

What's more, Peng Sheng is not fighting alone now. Beside him, there are also several like-minded alchemists working with him to study alchemy recipes.

Of course, this kind of research was conducted secretly.

The invention of black gunpowder was expected and beyond expectations. As its inventor, Peng Sheng, the former alchemist and the current person in charge of Ju Shui Bing Zao are still a little confused.

In fact, after he joined the Qin State, Li Yuan once asked him some questions about alchemy in detail. At that time, he thought Li Yuan was going to investigate the sudden death of the First Emperor on the fake "elixir of immortality", so he stammered and didn't dare to say anything more when answering it?

Peng Sheng actually didn't know. He missed an extremely important opportunity. If he could tell the alchemy in detail in front of Li Yuan, perhaps his identity would no longer be a craftsman made by Ju Shuibing, but the actual person in charge of the Daqin Research Institute. Of course, this institution is only in Li Yuan's mind. Whether there is a chance to be established depends on whether Peng Sheng and his group of friends are good at it.

Although Peng Sheng was half-baked, Li Yuan did not give up. He simply handed over the brief formula of "one part sulfur, two part nitroso, three part charcoal" to Peng Sheng, hoping that black gunpowder could appear in this time and space in advance one day.

gunpowder.

It is an important symbol of the era of cold weapons entering the era of hot weapons.

Even the power of black gunpowder is completely incomparable to the TNT in later generations.

Peng Sheng had no idea what the pill recipe Li Yuan gave him had. He thought it was a prescription for studying the elixir of immortality.

Until one day, the explosion suddenly broke out, blowing Peng Sheng up in shame. If it weren't for the accuracy of the ratio, his life would have been explained.

It was not until this time that Peng Sheng woke up from his fantasy. What Li Yuan gave him was not a prescription for immortality, but a prescription for Tianhuo that could develop a large-scale murder.

The arrival of refugee armed forces made Peng Sheng feel in panic and remembered that he had this kind of killer weapon in his hand. After several trials, although the sky fire was not stable enough, its power still made Peng Sheng look sideways.

As long as you bury the pot at a designated location and place an oil-soaked fire along the ground, the flame at this end will go straight to the center of the pot along the oil line. At that time, with a loud explosion, those in the center, no matter how powerful they are, will be killed and injured by the blowout.

Meng Hu led his army to travel day and night.

The mountain road after the freezing is extremely slippery. Even if it has been widened and transformed, the Baoqi Road in winter is a severe test for any army moving forward. What is even more dangerous is that Meng Hu ordered to light a torch at night to march quickly.

The news of the bandits besieging the Jushui soldiers made Meng Hu keenly feel that it was extraordinary. This group of bandits was definitely not a small fuss, or just killing Qin officials and occupying county towns for a bite of food. Their goal was to overthrow Qin's rule in Hanzhong, and their spearhead was already pointing to the weapons made by the soldiers.

Once the bandits are allowed to break through the troops.

Meng Hu couldn't imagine that a group of bandits armed by armor and weapons would be even more difficult to deal with. Therefore, no matter how difficult or dangerous the road was, he would have to speed up his march.
