Chapter 514 Explosives
Shen Yunyi waited for everyone to calm down before standing on the high platform, and said to the people who had packed their bags and looked forward to it, "Now there are refugees outside, as soon as the gates of the city are opened, refugees will rush in, and you, They will also be looted by them."

"Even so, do you want to leave?"

The refugees looked at each other.

"Aren't there still officers and soldiers? As long as the officers and soldiers suppress it, we can leave safely."

Shen Yunyi shook her head.

"Now there are only two thousand soldiers left in Ningzhou City, and there is no way to control the tens of thousands of refugees outside. Junzhou has been occupied by rebels, and Ningzhou will be next."

"There are not only refugees outside, but also rebels who are burning, killing and looting everywhere."

"There is only one dead end to go out."

The people were panicked.

"what should I do now?"

Shen Yunyi signaled them to be calm.

"The imperial court will not give up on us. As long as we defend Ningzhou City, wait for the imperial court's reinforcements, and prevent rebels and refugees from entering, everyone in the city will be safe."

"You all have families of your own."

"Men go to battle to kill the enemy in order to keep their wives, children and elderly parents."

The people whispered to each other.

A tall and rough man hesitated for a moment, but stood up despite the dissuasion of his family members.

"Your Highness, I am willing to join the army!"

"As His Highness said, if you fight the enemy to the death, there is still a chance for your family to survive, but if you dare not even fight, you can only die together."

The eyes of those around were filled with tears.

In the end, more and more men stood up.

"I would too!"

"It doesn't matter if I die, my wife and children can't die!"

……

After a day's statistics, there are more than 8000 men who are willing to join the army, which just makes up an army of [-].

Shen Yunyi arranged for Ren Fei to train the army.

He devoted himself to the development of gunpowder.

She probably remembered the formula of gunpowder, but she never tried to make it herself. She adjusted the formula repeatedly day and night, and finally made gunpowder on the fourth day.

Tested the power on the field.

The results of the first test explosion were not satisfactory. Looking at the small pit created by the explosion, I fell into deep thought. If I just take it to the battlefield like this, I am afraid that I will not even be able to blow people away!

She herself was not happy with it.

An Wuyang and Su Muze who came to watch were shocked by this miraculous scene.

An Wuyang has always been moody and angry, in addition to his pale complexion, he can barely maintain his image, but Su Muze was directly frightened.

"Your Highness, this... is this the power of explosives?"

"too frightening!"

"I thought it was thunder!"

Shen Yunyi noticed the flower, raised her eyebrows, and asked casually, "Are you afraid of thunder?"

Su Muze's face turned red.

"kind of."

Shen Yunyi, "...God's thunder only strikes bad people, not good people. As long as you remain a good person, you don't have to be afraid of being struck by lightning."

An Wuyang suppressed a smile, stretched out his hand and pulled Su Muze up.

"Your Highness is right."

Su Muze patted his chest.

"That said."

"But what if it gets crooked when thunder strikes?"

"Every time there is thunder, it feels like the sky is shaking. If it really struck someone...it would be terrible! Xiaguan saw with his own eyes when he was a child that a woman in the village was struck to death by lightning."

This is why he is afraid of thunder.

Shen Yunyi became interested.

"Expand and talk?"

Su Muze recalled what he saw and heard when he was a child.

"When I woke up one morning, I heard from other playmates that an aunt was caught by a thunder while she was sleeping at home, and was thrown directly from the house into the field."

"At that time, I was naughty, I didn't know what it meant to be afraid, and I went to see it secretly without telling my parents. I was hacked so badly, my hair stood on end, and my body seemed to be burnt."

"Later, I heard from people in the village that the aunt was not filial to her parents-in-law, and even abused her in-laws. God couldn't stand it anymore, so he struck her to death by lightning."

"Her man was sleeping next to her, but Lei only hit her alone!"

"After this incident, no one in our village dared to be filial, and because everyone was filial, it was renamed Xiaozi Village!"

The tense atmosphere for several days was relieved by Su Muze's interruption.

Shen Yunyi revived her spirit.

"There must be a problem with the proportion of the ingredients. I will re-proportion and experiment more. I don't believe that I can't make a powerful explosive!"

 The story of being struck by lightning seems to be true. It was told by my grandma. It happened on our side. It happened when my grandma was young.
