Chapter 349 The Imperial Palace will personally take the field tomorrow!
He would probably never forget the moment when he was lifted up and flew away, the deafening explosion and the shaking of the earth behind him, as well as the flying debris that almost smashed his head.
But despite the thrill, after he came to his senses, the excitement of realizing that he had really created a new weapon of super-large lethality according to the recipe given by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess quickly overwhelmed his fear.
Thinking about it again, I just felt regretful that I didn't stand next to it and see clearly what it looked like when it exploded.
However, they don't have many materials on hand, and it is impossible for them to blow up one more just because he wants to see the effect.
Yu Dexing felt like he was being scratched by a cat. He had been itching for the whole morning.
Now that Her Royal Highness finally came to see the power of the new weapon, he couldn't wait to point out a direction to Yun Shu and the others:
"Your Highness, General Lu, please move to a safe place. I will go get the new weapon... um,"
He paused for a moment, and followed Yun Shu's joke and changed his words:
"Upgraded version of big fireworks!"
"What he was just about to talk about was a new weapon, right?"
General Weiyuan was no fool. Hearing the meaning of Yu Dexing's words, his eyes were full of disbelief:
"Your Highness, is this new weapon really made from fireworks?"
“I can only say that the initial inspiration did come from fireworks.”
Yun Shu put his hands in his pockets, with an unfathomable expression on his face:
"Any more would involve confidential information."
General Weiyuan: “…”
Can't he know this secret?
General Weiyuan was so curious that he scratched his head.
Fortunately, Yu Dexing didn't make him wait too long. He soon came out with a small bag and walked to an open space far away from them.
After bending down and lighting the fuse, he immediately ran wildly in the opposite direction!
boom!
Before General Weiyuan could even ask why the man was running so fast, he saw the rubble on the open space suddenly explode.
Smoke and dust suddenly rose up in the sky, and in the thick smoke, you could see a flash of fire rising into the sky.
The ground beneath my feet was shaking, and even from such a long distance I could still seem to feel a slight gust of air spreading outwards.
General Weiyuan stared at the direction of the explosion in amazement.
After a long while, he swallowed hard:
"Really, really fucking awesome!"
He rubbed his ears which were a little painful from the shock, but his eyes were still unwilling to move away from that direction.
He looked stupid and staring at me, but his tone was more excited than ever before:
“Is this really something made of fireworks?
Your Highness, if there are enough of these things, let alone Bagan,
It is not a problem to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms within one day!"
“That’s a nice thought.”
Yun Shu poured a basin of cold water on him:
"We can't make many explosive packs with the resources we have now.
Let's go back and discuss tactics and see how to make the best use of limited resources."
"Can't we get more materials from somewhere else?"
General Weiyuan was still a little unwilling to hear this:
"At worst, we can just keep fighting the city defense for a while longer. Anyway, as long as we have this thing, we won't be afraid even if it takes a few more months!"
"No." Yun Shu rejected his proposal without even thinking:
“To manufacture this thing in large quantities, a large number of people must be involved.
If any one of them leaks the information and the enemy also figures out how to make explosives, how can we fight this war in the future?"
Will we step directly into the era of hot weapons and have both sides throw explosives at each other?
General Weiyuan couldn't help but shudder just thinking about that scene, and decisively abandoned his original idea:
“Your Highness is right. The method of making such a divine object must be kept strictly secret.
It would be best if even the generals in our army did not tell anyone about it!"
……
Because the craftsmen can make all the remaining explosive packs within one day at most.
After General Weiyuan returned to the military camp from the mountains, he immediately summoned all the generals of the Ningzhou army.
Seeing Yun Shu, who had not been seen for the past few days, appear in the main camp again, the Ningzhou commander was also quick to react. His eyes lit up as soon as he entered the door:
"General Lu, you asked us to come here at this time. Could it be that you have already made new weapons?"
"That's right!"
Things like explosives are undoubtedly very attractive to military generals.
As soon as General Weiyuan heard the words "new weapons", the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up:
"I have personally gone with Her Royal Highness the Princess to see it today. It is no exaggeration to say that when using that thing, it is absolutely as powerful as the power of a god!"
"today?"
The Ningzhou commander recalled that he had worriedly told General Weiyuan about the low morale of the army this morning.
Halfway through the conversation, the other party suddenly stood up and left, saying that he remembered something he forgot to do.
But it turns out...
Feeling that he had been deceived, the Ningzhou coach suddenly widened his eyes:
"You are so good, Lu Jingkun, you went to see the new weapons and didn't tell me!"
“I just happened to run into it.”
Facing the accusations of his colleagues, General Weiyuan felt guilty for less than two seconds, but soon he regained his composure:
“Let’s not talk about these useless things. The number of new weapons is small and they need to be kept strictly confidential. Your Highness has already made arrangements for the person who will handle them.
Let's discuss tomorrow's tactics first!
My idea is very simple. Hasn't the Pagan army come here every day to challenge and attack the city in recent days?
Tomorrow we will go out of the city to meet the enemy, then pretend to be defeated and retreat, so as to lure those Pagan troops to this place..."
"Stop!"
Although the Ningzhou commander was very curious about how powerful the new weapon "comparable to the power of the gods" was,
But General Weiyuan had already said that it needed to be kept "strictly confidential," so he couldn't ask any more questions.
I can only suppress my curiosity for the time being and seriously discuss tactics——
"It's easy to feign defeat and retreat, but it's difficult to let the enemy catch up.
After all, the Pagan army is not stupid. We have been defending the city for the past few days. Suddenly we fought and then suddenly retreated. It seems like an ambush. They will definitely be prepared and dare not take risks easily. "
"The reason why people don't take risks easily is probably because the temptation is not big enough."
Yun Shu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly picked up a general's flag and stuck it on the sand table at the position that General Weiyuan had just pointed to:
"As long as we can offer them irresistible temptations, we don't have to worry about them not being fooled."
"…What does your Highness mean?"
"Tomorrow the Emperor will personally take part in the battle."
Yun Shu stretched out a finger and flicked the general flag. Amid the horrified eyes of the crowd, he said calmly:
"With Princess Tiansheng as their bargaining chip, it's worth it for them to take this risk."
"No! Absolutely not!"
