The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 301
[Chapter 301 Huge Pit]
Everyone followed the sound and saw only a few soldiers carrying a stretcher.
On the stretcher, a man’s body was covered with scars and he let out a miserable wail.
It’s not like this kind of thing has never happened before, but this time, the injuries on his body were obviously much more serious than before.
There is a doctor in the camp who is on duty around the clock just in case something happens to someone.
There are always doctors in the camp of the pro-army army, which is the only one in the entire Chu State.
The injured man was quickly sent to the doctor’s camp, and suddenly he heard a burst of noisy discussion not far away.
Then, there was a burst of shouting, the content of which could not be heard clearly.
When the people who spoke before saw this scene, they looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.
This situation seems to be the first time in more than half a month. Could it be that the fireworks have been developed?
Everyone got up and walked towards an open space in the southwest corner.
Here, the originally lush trees have been cut down long ago. It is nearly three miles in radius. It can’t be said that there is no grass growing, but there are not many living creatures.
This is where those people experiment.
At this moment, the testing ground that everyone had avoided was surrounded by the soldiers of Youyu Linwei.
The people who had spoken before stood on the outside and couldn’t see clearly what was going on inside, so they could only ask loudly.
Finally, someone made a gap.
They followed this gap and looked inside.
After seeing what was inside clearly, they were all shocked. They stood there in a daze, their mouths slightly open, and for a moment, they couldn’t even speak.
The experimental site, which was half the size of a football field, was burning with flames. Inside was an extremely huge pit, as if a meteorite had fallen to the ground and been smashed out.
But they clearly remembered that this place was still flat land yesterday.
Unless soldiers were used to dig holes overnight, it would be possible to dig such a big hole. Otherwise, it was
unknown how long it would take for them to recover from the shock.
The young man who initially didn’t pay attention to this so-called important weapon, or even looked at it with disdain, seemed to have seen something incredible, and murmured in an unbelievable tone: “It actually happened.”
On the other side, someone had just arrived. Fang Xiu, who was at the experimental site, looked at the huge pit and couldn’t help but murmured: “It’s so fast.”
Standing behind him was Liang Hu.
Among the Lin Guards on the right wing, most of them were nobles in the capital or ordinary people in the capital. Very few of them had ever stayed in such cold and miserable frontier places.
Even fewer people have seen the cruelty of the battlefield and the scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Only Liang Hu.
However, at this moment, standing in front of this huge pit, Liang Hu’s heart was beating wildly.
Fireworks can really be so powerful.
As a person who has witnessed the battlefield, no one can understand what this thing means better than him.
If this ‘firework’ could be equipped like a sword to the soldiers of Dachu, then the begging tribe and the prairie wolf cavalry would be nothing.
The whole world is in the possession of Da Chu.
When ordinary captains or onlookers see this giant pit, the first thing they think of is its terrifying power.
Then it was gone.
Liang Hu was different. He had participated in countless battles with grassland tribes and knew that what this thing showed was more than just its power.
The most important thing is its shock value.
A sound like thunder from the sky and as powerful as a meteorite falling to the ground, combined together, is equivalent to a divine punishment from heaven.
This is a huge blow to the enemy’s morale.
No troop can withstand such a blow, not even the prairie wolf cavalry galloping across the grasslands.
Looking at the huge sinkhole in front of him, Liang Hu almost shed tears.
Not to mention these ancients, even Fang Xiu, a person who traveled from modern times, saw the power of gunpowder in reality for the first time.
The shock brought to him by this huge pit was no less than that of the ordinary soldiers beside him.
However, the shock lasted only a short time.
After all, it came from modern times. Although I have never seen it in real life, I have seen it on various TV series and computers.
So, no big shock.
After a moment, he waved his hand and said calmly: “What are you doing here? Let’s all disperse.”
Because the onlookers were in shock, there was not much discussion.
As soon as Fang Xiu spoke, everyone heard clearly. They looked up and saw that it was the general speaking. They hurriedly took a few steps back and stood in a neat queue.
All this seems to be just a trivial thing in daily life, so natural.
But
if the generals of the Sixteenth Guards saw it, they would be shocked and speechless.
What is the highest level of military leadership?
If you ask those generals, nine and a half out of ten will answer orders and prohibitions.
What is a prohibition?
This is what is forbidden!
After the onlookers dispersed, a place naturally became vacant.
Fang Xiu took a few steps forward, squatted down, and took a closer look at the huge pit on the ground.
You can smell a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.
That’s right, this is what the emperor ordered him to develop.
After Fang Xiu confirmed it, he felt a little confused.
He just pointed out a direction for the soldiers participating in the experiment and did not interfere too much.
Because autumn was coming soon, he had to spare some time to read again.
It was not originally planned that these people could develop it.
But he didn’t expect that it only took him more than half a month.
Fang Xiu sighed, then stood up from the ground, looked at Liang Hu behind him, and asked, “Who adjusted this formula?”
Liang Hu Duan He
stood upright and said seriously: “It’s Kong Liu.”
Fang Xiu seemed to have heard of the name Kong Liu.
When the experimenters were recruited, this person was the first to come forward. I heard that when he was young, he made fireworks himself.
He originally planned to use this to support his family, but because he was scolded by his parents for not doing his job properly, he became angry and joined the Sixteenth Guards of the pro-army.
Sure enough, this kind of thing still requires a certain foundation and a certain amount of talent.
Fang Xiu nodded and asked, “Where is Kong Liu?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a very strong-looking man walked out of the crowd, bowed respectfully to Fang Xiu, and said loudly: “Report to the general, humble Kong Liu.” Six.”
Fang Xiu glanced at him and truly felt that people should not be judged by their appearance.
In the minds of future generations, scientists and inventors must be the kind of white-haired old men with thick-rimmed eyes.
Otherwise, he is the kind of lean man.
I never expected that he would be such a strong and muscular man.
