My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 84 82. Certainty of victory, deadly weapon [2]

"Okay, you have done a great job. Everyone in the military workshop will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and your status will be lifted. In the future, your children can study and do business, and all the benefits promised to you will be fulfilled!"

Zhao Xuanqi rewarded them in excitement.

He had promised them before that as long as they could vigorously produce weapons during this period, he would definitely reward them generously.

There are various rewards including money, acres of land, and household registration.

Facts have proved that if you want a horse to run, you still have to let it eat enough grass!
With so many awards on the line, these guys didn't let themselves down, well done!
Master Gongshu immediately knelt on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir, thank you!"

As a blacksmith, the situation at home is actually not much better.

There are even many blacksmiths who are slaves and belong to the lowly status. With the benefits that Zhao Xuanqi has cashed in, they can escape from the lowly status, obtain land and houses, and also have a large amount of money.

It can be said that we will have no worries about food and clothing in the future!
Do it all.

Zhao Xuanqi ordered two soldiers to carry boxes containing muskets and explosives respectively, and slowly headed towards the military camp.

The weapons are already there.

But the soldiers still have to be taught how to use it.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the weapon is, if you don't know how to use it, it will just be useless garbage.

It's time for these soldiers to see the magic weapon for victory!

……

barracks.

The military camp is located in the north of the city.

There is an open area around it, with basically no people living there, and people are strictly prohibited from coming here at will.

It covers a relatively large area. There are more than 1 people from the Ziyun Army and [-] Yulin Army. They usually conduct training in this military camp.

The soldiers were in a state of tension.

It's not so much nervousness as it is fear and flinching.

These days, the rebel army's psychological strategy has indeed exerted a great influence. The people's hearts are moved, and the soldiers are also extremely afraid of these rebel armies.

Cannibalism, killing, terror, cruelty.

Everything synonymous with evil is displayed in the prodigal army.

The Imperial Guards were okay, most of them were elite soldiers who had been on the battlefield and performed fairly well.

However, most of the soldiers of the Ziyun Army have never been on the battlefield. In the final analysis, they came here with courage. Now that they have calmed down, they will inevitably feel scared when facing this kind of enemy.

Everyone is not optimistic about this war.

How can an army of 50 fight against an army of [-]?
Half of the country in the outside world has fallen, is it still necessary to hold on?
The soldiers had no certainty of victory.

It can be said that people in the camp are panicked, and many soldiers are already afraid of fighting.

If there was even a little hope of winning, they wouldn't be like this, but unfortunately there is not, not even a little hope!

There was an atmosphere of oppressive tension in the camp.

Zhao Wuwei was also in a very depressed mood.

He conducted battle deductions with several generals and found that no matter how he deduced, the enemy seemed to win!
Zhao Xuanqi led a few soldiers and slowly walked into the military camp carrying boxes and came to the main tent of the Chinese army.

Then some soldiers called over the captains and generals, all of whom were leading figures in the army. There were about a dozen of them, and the one standing at the front was Zhao Wuwei.

Zhao Xuanqi looked over and asked, "Why do you look so depressed?"

Zhao Wuwei replied dully: "Back to the general, my subordinates are born with a bad face!"

Zhao Xuanqi laughed immediately.

He naturally knew the depression in the hearts of these soldiers and the despair in the hearts of these generals.

Now he just wants to help them regain their confidence!

He said: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, I already have a good strategy to defeat the enemy!"

"what?"

Zhao Wuwei suspected that he had heard wrongly.

He didn't expect Zhao Xuanqi to say such words.

So much so that he didn't react for a moment.

A good strategy to defeat the enemy!

Is there finally a way to defeat your enemies?

After coming back to his senses, his breathing became rapid, and he asked quickly: "General, what is the plan? Can we really defeat the rebels?"

Several other generals also cast their gazes over, all showing hopeful looks.

Everyone stared at Zhao Xuanqi with hope.

Zhao Xuanqi waved his hand, met everyone's expectant gazes, and finally pointed to the two boxes behind him with his left hand.

"Just rely on them!"

The two wooden boxes were square in shape and contained unknown items. They were simply placed on the ground, no different from other ordinary wooden boxes.

The generals set their sights on the box.

There was a complete astonishment.

So, the way to defeat the enemy is to rely on two wooden boxes?
Well, it depends on what's in the box.

But what can be packed in these two boxes?

The space inside is limited, and at most it can hold an armor or some long knives. Other than that, they can't think of anything else inside.

This box containing some crap could actually allow 3 people to defeat 50 people?

so,

Isn't the general joking?
Are you here to make yourself and others happy?

What kind of strategy is this to defeat the enemy?
Just two crappy boxes!
The generals were extremely disappointed.

I don't think the contents of the box are useful at all.

I don't care about what's in the box at all.

They didn't think that what was inside could allow them to defeat 3 people with 50 people. Not even a three-year-old child would believe such a fantasy.

Zhao Wuwei hesitated and couldn't help but earnestly advise: "General, have you been under too much pressure recently? Do you need to take a rest?"

"Don't be silly, I'm not lying to you. The contents of these two boxes can indeed allow us to defeat the 50-strong rebel army!"

Zhao Xuanqi is full of confidence.

How could he not see the suspicion in these guys?

In fact, if he were not a time traveler himself, he would not believe that the gadgets in the two boxes could allow people to win.

These guys don’t believe it, do they?

Then let them see the power of technology!
Then let them see the terrifying power from thermal weapons!
"Come out with me and try the power of these things!"

With that said, Zhao Xuanqi slowly walked out of the tent.

Two soldiers carried the box out and followed him.

The generals stood there, looking at each other.

Everyone was shocked by Zhao Xuanqi's confidence.

For a moment, I had some doubts about life.

"Is there a fairy in the box? The fairy will appear later and kill the enemy's 50 troops directly?"

"The general is so confident, he must have a solution!"

"Are you suffering from hysteria? Even if there are 1 people in those two boxes, we will not be the opponent of the 50 troops outside the city. I suspect that the general has been worried in recent days, which has led to the illusion..."

"Well, I don't see any hope of winning. I don't believe that the contents of the box can help us win."

The generals whispered a few words among themselves, but in the end they still couldn't convince Zhao Xuanqi.

However, he was very honest and followed Zhao Xuanqi's footsteps to the outside of the camp without hesitation.

They wanted to see what the general could do!
Soon, everyone arrived at the school grounds.

There is a row of targets in front of you.

Zhao Xuanqi opened the first box, took out the matchlock gun from it, and then slowly taught Zhao Wuwei how to use the matchlock gun, including how to aim and how to load gunpowder.

"Remember?"

"remember!"

Zhao Wuwei nodded.

Zhao Xuanqi immediately ordered: "Then you start shooting!"

The rough guy Zhao Wuwei immediately picked up the matchlock gun and slowly lit the fuse. With the smell of gunpowder, there was a bang the next moment.

I saw the bullet shoot out instantly and hit the target more than ten meters away at a very fast speed!

Everyone was startled by the noise.

Then I saw that the target was broken into a small corner, and it was obviously hit by the fired bullet!
"So, this thing is the same as a bow and arrow?"

The generals were talking a lot.

Guess what this thing does.

Zhao Xuanqi also ordered people to work on a layer of iron plates at the target to serve as armor for enemy soldiers.

Zhao Wuwei understood, reloaded the bullet, and after a while, fired the bullet again.

This time it missed.

Then, he shot a third time. He was very talented and this time he hit the target directly!

A loud bang.

A hole was made in the iron plate, and the bullet drilled out, drilling a hole in the target behind it, causing the entire target to shake a little.

At this time, all the generals were shocked: "What a powerful force!"

They never thought that this thing that looked like a fire stick could be so powerful.

It is conceivable that even if the opponent's soldiers are wearing armor, once they are hit by a musket, the armor will be like paper and will definitely be pierced!

If it is a bow and arrow, it is difficult to cause damage to soldiers wearing armor. Once you encounter an enemy wearing armor, you will be helpless, but this thing can!
If you think about it boldly, if the opponent's soldiers rush up with shields and use fire sticks to shoot, the shields may be shattered and directly hit the soldiers behind, causing damage!
It was precisely because they understood the terrifying lethality of muskets that all the generals' eyes changed.

Especially Zhao Wuwei, who was holding a musket, his eyes were shining.

He played with bow and arrow.

Archery requires a lot of strength, and it consumes a lot of physical strength. Basically, you need to rest for a while after you can't shoot a few arrows.

Not everyone can be an archer. Archers are the best in the army, with amazing arm strength. It takes at least several years to cultivate archers, so the number of archers is particularly small.

However, what about this musket?

He was not tired at all after firing three bullets in a row. Even if he kept firing, he could easily do it. It would not be a big problem to fire continuously for a whole day. This was better than a bow and arrow!

The lethality caused by muskets is more powerful than that of bows and arrows, and its penetrating power is stronger. It can break through armor. This thing is simply amazing!
This thing doesn't require much physical strength or arm strength. Couldn't it be used by ordinary civilians? An ordinary civilian can exert more power than an archer without any training. It's terrifying!

Zhao Xuanqi looked at Zhao Wuwei who was in a dazed state, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel? Can you tell me what advantages you think the gun has?"

The big man Zhao Wuwei knew how powerful this thing was, but he was clumsy and turned red in the face. He finally replied: "This thing is so powerful!"

Zhao Xuanqi couldn't help laughing.

Then he slowly introduced the musket to everyone.

Introduce all the advantages of muskets.

More powerful than a bow and arrow.

Any ordinary person can use it.

Able to penetrate armor...

As long as a large number of soldiers are equipped with muskets, it is equivalent to a large number of terrifying archers, who can easily cause terrifying damage to the enemy from a long distance.

Of course, Zhao Xuanqi also pointed out his shortcomings.

Rainy day restrictions.

Reload speed limit.

The danger of bombing.

The accuracy is a bit poor.

He told these generals all the advantages and disadvantages of muskets, and told them that there were thousands of muskets and countless ammunition, and they basically had no fear of running out of ammunition.

"With this kind of thing, if we use it to defend the city, it will increase the chance of victory by [-]%!"

An elderly general shouted with his face flushed.

The other generals also looked excited.

No matter what, the advantages of the musket still outweigh the disadvantages. This thing must be used, and it must be used in large quantities!

With this thing in place, the opponent's armor is useless, just like paper, and the opponent's shield will also be useless. As long as you shoot within a certain distance, you will surely reap lives every time!It is equivalent to having more than 1000 archers on our side who are extremely powerful and born with divine power. They are also archers with unlimited physical strength and can shoot all the time!
Kill your enemies without engaging in close combat!
How on earth are things like muskets made?It is simply a magic weapon from the fairy family!

Zhao Xuanqi looked at their excitement and slowly opened the second box, revealing the neatly arranged bombs inside.

"General, may I ask what this is?" Zhao Wuwei rushed over immediately, staring at the few small balls inside with glowing eyes.

Zhao Xuanqi replied: "This is a more ferocious weapon than a musket, and it is also the most ferocious weapon that can defeat an army of 50 people!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and several generals couldn't wait to gather around.

Until I saw that there were small balls inside, my face was filled with astonishment.

For a while, I was full of interest.

These small balls are about the size of fists, and there is a lead exposed. I don’t know what they are.

If the musket can be seen after all, it can be fired.

So what do these small balls do?

Wouldn't it be thrown over and used to kill the opponent?This thing is not as useful as picking up a few big rocks on the ground!
They scratched their heads and couldn't figure out what these small balls could be used for, nor could they figure out how these balls were more powerful than muskets, or how they could defeat an army of 50 people.

It's not that the generals are too stupid, but that they are limited by the times. Their vision is only so high, and their cognition limits them.

Their imaginary effects on small balls are, at best, just throwing them and smashing them. They cannot imagine any more effects. In their hands, they are indeed not as powerful as big rocks!
Zhao Xuanqi looked at them with disinterested eyes, but smiled in his heart: "You will be surprised later!"

He introduced everyone: "These little balls have names, I call them bombs!"

Then he took out the most common bomb, and then took out the flint and steel, and handed them to Zhao Wuwei together.

"You can ignite objects by creating sparks from a flint and steel. Did you see the fuse on the bomb? You use the flint and steel to light it, then throw the bomb out quickly and throw it at the ruined wall in front!"

Zhao Wuwei turned his head, and when he saw Zhao Xuanqi's serious expression, he knew that the matter was not trivial. Although he didn't know what the situation was, he still replied seriously: "Yes!"

So, he used a flint to ignite the fuse of the bomb. When he saw the fuse burning rapidly, he rounded the board and immediately threw the bomb far away.

In an instant, the bomb accurately landed under the wall.

The lead also burned out at the same moment.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, like thunder on the ground.

Fires were blazing and smoke was billowing.

The onlookers were startled. They covered their ears and made evasive gestures. They were all shocked and confused.

The generals also looked panicked and couldn't figure out what happened. Why was there thunder?

Only Zhao Wuwei knew that it was not thunder, but the bomb that had just been thrown!

"This is the sound of a bomb. Look, the smoke is going up!"

So people focus on the location where the bomb dropped.

I saw that the smoke and dust had slowly dispersed, revealing the post-explosion scene inside.

The solid wall, which was more than three meters high, had collapsed, the bricks were in pieces, and a small hole was blown out of the ground, creating a messy scene.

"This... did this blow up the wall?"

Several generals stepped forward to check, and suddenly took a breath of air. They saw broken bricks all around the bomb and small holes exposed on the ground. Their faces were full of shock.

The surrounding soldiers were talking a lot.

"What on earth is this? Is this divine punishment? Even solid walls can be broken!"

"Not only that, there are small holes in the ground. It's such a terrifying force. If this thing falls on a person, the whole person will be blown to pieces. It would be worse than being torn apart by five horses!"

All the soldiers looked at this in horror.

The most powerful cold weapon they have ever seen in their lives cannot cause such strong damage to people!
And the little ball in front of me did it!
"What are you afraid of? This is our weapon. This is the weapon we use to fight the enemy. The stronger the better!" Zhao Wuwei laughed excitedly.

The soldiers just came back to their senses.

Yes.

It's the enemy that should be worried.

What are we worried about?

Who can stop such a powerful weapon?

For a time, everyone cheered.

The originally gloomy and desperate mood was mostly swept away at this moment, and I finally had the courage to face the enemy.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuanqi smiled slightly.

It’s time to strike while the iron is hot and let these guys become so confident that they can win!
In this scenario, Zhao Xuanqi launched another explosive bomb.

"Try this blooming bomb!"

The big man Zhao Wuwei held the explosive bomb in his hand. It was a can-shaped explosive, heavier and heavier, several times heavier than the bomb just now.

Zhao Xuanqi ordered: "Bring the three sheep here!"

Afterwards, the guards on the left and right immediately found three sheep.

"You can throw the explosive bombs next to the three sheep later. You don't have to throw them in the center. It will be fine if you throw them two, three, four or five meters away!"

"As ordered!"

Zhao Wuwei felt strange in his heart.

Judging from the bomb just now, the bomb will only cause explosion damage if it is thrown in the center. If it is four or five meters away, how can it hurt the sheep?I'm afraid it won't even damage the sheep's fur, right?Do you want to scare the sheep to death?

Other generals and soldiers also had this doubt and looked at Zhao Wuwei.

Zhao Wuwei took a deep breath, took the blooming bomb in his hand, lit the fuse, and threw it hard.

As a result, due to the angle deviation, it was not thrown at a position of three or four meters, nor even at a position of four or five meters. Instead, it rolled and happened to be dropped at a position of six or seven meters next to the three lambs.

Everyone thought: This distance is much farther than imagined, and the explosion may not have any effect!

however,
Just when everyone didn't care.

The next moment, something terrible happened.

The bomb exploded, and with a dull explosion, countless blades shot out, sweeping over the three sheep at a rapid speed.

In an instant, the fur was cut, flesh and blood flew everywhere, blood sprayed desperately, and flesh and blood dripped.

The lambs only had time to let out a shrill scream before falling to the ground.

The snow-white fur was stained with bright red blood, and there were blades embedded in the dense wounds. The flesh and blood were turned out, and blood spurted out from a large number of wounds.

They did not die immediately, they were still struggling on the ground, and they were still making miserable screams.

It took a while, but the lambs died completely due to excessive bleeding. They died in struggle and pain, and they died after the blood drained away.

This bloody and cruel scene completely shocked everyone present.

This is only six or seven meters away. If it exploded at close range, the power would be even more terrifying, and the whole person would be torn into pieces!

Crushing into flesh is actually the easiest thing. At least you can die in an instant, you won't experience pain, and you die without knowing anything.

But if you are farther away, five to six meters, six to seven meters away, you will end up like the little lamb just now. It will be a punishment like being pierced through the heart by razor blades and thousands of arrows. The sky will not respond and the earth will not work. , can only scream and struggle on the ground, wait until the blood dries up and die, dying in pain and despair.

so horrible!

Everyone was shocked by the terrifying cruelty of this weapon, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Zhao Xuanqi asked: "How about this kind of weapon?"

The big man Zhao Wuwei suppressed his excitement and fear and said: "I don't know how to describe it. This is a weapon that makes people feel despair and pain. It is 10000 times more terrifying than swords, guns, swords and halberds."

The surrounding generals took a deep breath and looked at the weapon: "If this weapon is used in war, the 50-strong army on the opposite side will not seem so scary."

"The explosive bombs are too terrifying. It is a nightmare for them. Witnessing their companions around them cut to death by a thousand cuts. No soldier can accept this kind of fear. The heart is enough to overcome the body and make them run away trembling."

"If I encountered such a tragic situation in a war, I would run away immediately. The same must be true for the wandering army on the opposite side. As long as they are human, they will be afraid."

"If there are enough bombs like this, I am very confident that we will defeat them, and we will have a great chance of victory!"

The same goes for soldiers.

Confidence shows on his face.

There is such a terrifying weapon in hand.

What can a 50-strong army do?
The certainty of victory is great!
With this weapon in hand, the enemy seems no longer so scary!
"Oh? Are you sure of winning? Do you mean you can't win for sure?"

Zhao Xuanqi listened to his words.

Then he silently took out the strongest white phosphorus bomb.

"Is... still there?"

Zhao Wuwei swallowed.

Explosives in hand.

He could imagine that this was definitely a bomb more terrifying than the explosive bomb.

Otherwise, the general would not be placed at the end.

While the others were frightened, they were also looking forward to it, silently waiting for the effect of the bomb, all focusing on Zhao Wuwei.

"Then try it."

Zhao Wuwei lit the explosive, and the next moment he threw the white phosphorus bomb with great force next to a newly pulled out lamb.

Whoa!
The bomb exploded.

An invisible white flame suddenly spread out in all directions, covering an area of ​​five to six meters in radius with flames.

The ground is burning, the soil is burning, as if the air is burning!

The lamb was instantly covered in flames, screamed in terror, and then jumped towards the nearby river at a very fast speed.

But the scary thing is that the flames did not go out!

That's right, even the cold river water didn't extinguish this weird flame!
Everyone looked at this in surprise.

I saw a flame floating in the river, burning fiercely. The lamb screamed and wailed. No matter how much it fluttered in the water, it could not extinguish the flame. The flame kept burning, like a maggot attached to the bone, entangled in the On its body, the fur was burnt clean, the flesh and blood were burnt clean, and finally even the bones were burnt to a crisp black!
The soldiers who witnessed all this with their own eyes were completely stunned.

Zhao Wuwei and other generals also watched in disbelief as all this happened, rubbing their eyes and staring at the burning water.

This flame cannot be extinguished. As long as it sticks to it a little bit, it will be burned completely, and it will burn people alive, from the inside out!
If it is contaminated even a little bit, it will not be able to seek life or death, and it cannot be extinguished by any means!

What a cruel, bloody weapon.

What a powerful, terrifying weapon.

They had used kerosene before, and kerosene was difficult to extinguish, but it was not so terrifying. In front of the current white phosphorus bomb, it was simply childish!

Zhao Xuanqi asked: "With this kind of weapon, how sure do you think we can win?"

"We must win!" Zhao Wuwei replied subconsciously. When he said this, he realized that his voice was trembling.

In order to cover up his fear, he tried his best to show enough excitement and shouted in a passionate voice: "We must win! We must win!"

The soldiers recovered from the shock.

Immediately, blood rushed to my heart.

Indeed, with such a terrifying weapon in hand, victory is absolutely certain.

If we lose like this, then why fight?

An army of 50 is nothing more than flesh and blood. Can it be worth these immortal weapons?

That's right, in their eyes, muskets and bombs have become immortal weapons. Only immortals can make such weapons, only immortals can crack them. Mortals who encounter such weapons will only die!

The general is a god. A general who can make such a terrifying weapon can definitely lead everyone to victory!

The next moment, all the soldiers made a deafening sound:

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

"Definitely!"

On this day, the people in the capital were all surprised.

People all over the city could hear the hysterical shouting of the soldiers. Their words contained extreme confidence and an indescribable certainty of victory.

The soaring faith shattered all the haze.

The determination to move forward shatters all despair and timidity.

Anyone who hears this voice can understand that this is definitely an army that is confident of victory!

At the rebel camp stationed outside the city, Huang Shouyi and others turned their heads in surprise and looked in the direction of the capital.

I have no idea what's going on.

After these days of mental calculations, the soldiers in Chang'an City were clearly losing their morale. How could such a strong belief suddenly burst out?

"Okay, okay, it's just an army of 50 people. Facing our army of [-] people, you can still have such faith. You are worthy of being the champion of Zhao!"

Huang Shouyi was filled with emotion: "Zhao Xuanqi, Zhao Xuanqi, what means do you have? You can actually do this!"

"But no matter what, I will definitely let you know what real strength is. In the face of absolutely powerful strength, the so-called belief is so ridiculous!"
