At this time, Xiang Yu directly took the bamboo tube in Long Ju's hand,

Long Ju was slightly startled and said,

"Your Majesty, be careful of that sky thunder!"

"No, it's not Tianlei, it's that weapon!"

Long Ju didn't know what to call this thing.

Xiang Yu didn't have the slightest fear, but looked at the bamboo tube in his hand with a slightly excited expression,

Carefully recalling the third arrow that Zhao Lang shot him before!

Indeed, it seems that there is such a similar bamboo tube.

After looking carefully for a while, Xiang Yu said,

"Zhao Lang relied on it to impersonate Tianlei?"

Even though he claims to be the overlord, he still has some fear of the sky.

Because no one can stand against God.

But if it's just a weapon, it's another matter!

He is the Overlord of Western Chu, not afraid of any weapons!

Long Ju nodded and replied,

"Your Majesty, this thing should work with fire to be effective."

Xiang Yu also nodded slightly. That night, he did see the explosion of the thunder after the flash of fire that night!

"My lord, what should we do now?"

Xiang Yu pondered for a while, then took out a dagger, and cut off a piece of the bamboo tube under the surprised eyes of everyone.

Soon, streaks of black powder fell out of the bamboo tube.

Xiang Yu put all these powders on a piece of silk.

Then open the whole bamboo tube.

But nothing else was found.

At this time, Long Ju said with some disbelief,

"that's it?"

He couldn't figure it out, just such a little thing, how could it emit the power like a thunder!

Xiang Yu picked up some powder with his hands, frowned slightly, without any clue, and said quickly,

"Dumb, call the artisan!"

Duan is the follower of his little uncle, who is trapped in Pengcheng.

These people escaped.

It stands to reason that they should be severely punished, after all, it is the duty of these people to protect the master.

But in the battle of Pengcheng, even he was rescued.

And now no one in the Chu army can take over the grain and grass.

Besides, Duan is just a fool, and there is no need to compete with the other party.

And this fool is actually quite useful, conveying some more confidential information, and he is not afraid of leaking the secret.

Just like now, he can't believe anyone about Tianlei's matter. If it were anyone, he would drive the other party out.

But dumb is different, even if you show it to him, the other party can't understand it.

It's just that no one noticed that Dumb looked at the bamboo tube on the table with shocked eyes.

After hearing the order, Dui quickly recovered.

Forcibly suppressing his mind, he walked out blankly as usual, and conveyed Xiang Yu's order.

Then he returned to Xiang Yu's camp again.

Everyone was paying attention to the craftsman at this time. After carefully looking at the powder in front of him for a while, the craftsman said slowly,

"Your Majesty, this is mostly charcoal. It smells like some sulfur, but I don't know about the others."

charcoal, sulfur.

Hearing this, Xiang Yu opened his eyes and said,

"Can it be done?"

The artisan replied,

"This charcoal is a common thing, and some sulfur should be found in the army."

Sulfur is also a medicine.

Xiang Yu faintly said excitedly,

"Okay! You do it now! No, I will go with you personally!"

Xiang Yu couldn't hide his excitement at this time!

If they also have this weapon, then Chu State will be stable!

Xiang Yu personally led the team, and soon got the charcoal and sulfur.

The craftsman crushed the two things and then mixed them. Although the price was a bit different, it did look somewhat similar to the powder in the bamboo tube.

"That's it?"

Looking at the things in front of him, Long Ju couldn't believe it. The Tianlei, which had defeated them several times, was created like this?

Xiang Yu said urgently,

"Get a bamboo tube! Put it in the fire!"

This is the best way to prove it.

Just looking at the busy and excited faces of these people in front of them.

Dumb on the side was even more shocked in his heart.

Of course, the shock went in a different direction this time.

Although he didn't know the formula of gunpowder, he still learned it from Zhuangzi.

He watched these people mix charcoal and sulfur in such a hasty way.

If you don't pay attention to the ratio and purity, others will be stupid.

The previous anxiety in my heart also instantly eased.

If they can make it, they'll be damned!

Soon the Chu army prepared the fire.

Duan saw these people stuffing those things into the bamboo tube, with a nervous expression on his face, he threw the bamboo tube into the fire excitedly.

Then distanced away, as if worried about the explosion.

But there was no wave on Duan's face at this time, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

It's just that this appearance falls in the eyes of caring people, but they believe even more in the fact that Dumb is a fool.

Because ordinary people encounter such a situation, how could they not be curious?

Everyone was staring at the fire, and suddenly, a thick smoke suddenly rose from the fire.

Everyone was shocked, they were so familiar with this thick smoke!

The sky thunder summoned by Zhao Lang will appear every time!

But after a while, there was no change in the flame until the flame was extinguished.

Long Ju was a little puzzled and said,

"Why is there no thunder?"

Xiang Yu was not too frustrated, and said,

"There must be some mysteries about this thing, but since we know it's not Tianlei, there is always a way to deal with it!"

"Long Ju, are you sure Qin Jun doesn't have many of these things?"

Long Ju pondered for a moment and said,

"It will be confirmed at the end, if they really have so many, then they have been used on a large scale as early as in Pengcheng."

"Now that I think about it, it was specially reserved to guard against our army's cavalry!"

At this time, Long Ju recalled every time Zhao Lang used this thing, and understood something.

He couldn't help feeling a little bitter in his heart, if he had known earlier that this was not a thunder at all.

As long as he is prepared, Zhao Lang's more than a hundred crossbow arrows will not cause too many casualties!

But he just abandoned the city!

"Your Majesty, the last general..."

Long Ju wanted to apologize at this time, but Xiang Yu just shook his head and said calmly,

"It's not your fault, Zhao Lang is too cunning!"

Didn't he also fall for the trick?

Long Ju nodded and said quickly,

"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to tell General Yingbu about this and let him guard the front line!"

Xiang Yu also nodded in agreement, and was about to give an order when a Chu soldier hurried in and replied,

"Your Majesty! An urgent report from the front line!"

"General Yingbu surrendered the Qin army! The Qin army is repairing in the city, and it should be marching now!"

Chu Jun quickly explained the situation.

Hearing the return, the entire camp was instantly silent.

Long Ju's face was stunned, and after a while, he came to his senses and asked,

"What!"

Xiang Yu's face was also ashen. He didn't expect that Yingbo would surrender directly!

And the opponent didn't even release a crossbow arrow, so he frightened the opponent!

But he quickly suppressed his anger, and replied coldly,

"knew."

Now that the fact is out, he has to find a way to deal with it.

After secretly calculating the speed and route of the Qin army, Xiang Yu quickly ordered,

"Order Yu Ziqi and Zhong Limei to lead all the troops to meet the Qin army!"

Long Ju was stunned for a moment and said,

"Your Majesty, Qin's army is at its peak. These two talents have not formed an army, should they be repaired?"

At this moment, Xiang Yu shook his head and said,

"We can't let the Qin army gain a firm foothold in Chu! Otherwise, it will be difficult to fight in the future!"

"Now that the Qin army has occupied these cities, it is necessary to divide their troops to garrison them."

"Their military strength is small, and the farmers who will expand their army later are similar to our army."

"And my Jiangdong disciples are still alive, and there are still a thousand cavalry!"

"Let's gather up the broken soldiers they released, our army will actually outnumber them!"

"The reason why the Qin army went deep alone without any scruples is because of the prestige of Tianlei!"

"Now, our army also has Tianlei!"

Listening to Xiang Yu's analysis, Long Ju couldn't help feeling admiration. When it comes to military affairs, his own king is indeed not to be underestimated.

Just the last words, he was a little confused,

"Your Majesty, we don't have any troops yet."

Xiang Yu replied at this time,

"Thanks to Zhao Lang, he was able to use the thunder to scare Yingbu into surrender, and this king can also use this thunder to tell the soldiers of the Chu army that this king can also summon the thunder!"

"Let the craftsmen follow the method just now to make these bamboo tubes that emit black smoke."

"Rebuild the sky thunder you got!"

"When all the sergeants are together, I will personally demonstrate the summoning of Tianlei!"

Long Ju suddenly understood that they didn't need to make thunder!

As long as the Chu soldiers are no longer afraid!

Thinking of this, Long Ju said sincerely,

"Yes! My Majesty!"

"It's just, where is it better for our army to gather?"

Xiang Yu looked at the map at this time, quickly pointed to the map and said,

"Here!"

Long Ju looked over, and the place Xiang Yu was pointing at was a place called Gaixia.

This is one of the rears they set up before. They built an earthen city with the help of the terrain, and it is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It is indeed suitable for counterattack.

Long Ju immediately replied,

"The end will be ordered!"

After speaking, he left quickly.

Xiang Yu looked at the direction of Gaixia at this moment, and said harshly,

"My king will be ashamed in this battle!"

Soon, amidst the busyness, the sky darkened.

All the guards and attendants also began to replace.

Of course the same is true for Dumb, and he returned to his camp all the way.

When it was late at night, he left his tent.

Arrived in a tent, whispered,

"Quickly report to the Patriarch!"

Not long after, a black shadow left the Chu army's camp.

in a few days.

In a small city in Chudi.

It's a little different from before, not half of the Chu army can be seen here, but all the Qin army.

On the city wall of the small town, Zhao Lang is leading a group of people to patrol the city wall.

"What is the movement of the Chu army?"

Zhao Lang looked at the slightly barren fields outside the city, it was almost autumn now.

But there are more weeds in the fields than in the crops.

Nu quickly replied,

"Master, the spies of the spider web at the farm have reported that the Chu army is recruiting manpower."

"We've had some casualties among our people."

"However, the Chu army has also had some conflicts with the nobles of Chu, and it should be because of the effect of the previous message."

"There is still Yingbo's rhetoric, and the nobles of Chu believe that Xiang Yu killed the king of Chu."

The slave explained the situation one by one.

Zhao Lang nodded, pondered for a while, and was about to assign tasks when suddenly a fast horse arrived at the foot of the city, and the messenger immediately shouted,

"South Express!"

Nu's face changed slightly, and he naturally recognized that this was the urgent report from the spider web!

Soon, the information was sent to Zhao Lang.

"Long Ju got a piece of black powder? Ah Yu actually came up with a way to crack it."

Looking at the information, Zhao Lang was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect that there was a crossbow that didn't explode, but Long Ju got it.

But I have to say that Xiang Yu is indeed a great military talent, but after hearing about his method of deterring the Chu army, he actually came up with a way to break it.

After reading it, Zhao Lang didn't intend to hide it, and directly told Meng Yi and others the news, and then said,

"Xiang Shi has figured out a way to deal with it."

"The deterrent effect of Tianlei on the Chu army will not be so great."

But before Meng Yi and the others could speak, Hu Hai exclaimed,

"What? Brother Lang, Tianlei is useless now?"

"Then what should we do?"

"Why don't we retreat first, guard the border, call up the sergeants first, wait for more thunder in the coming year, and then blow them up!"

In his heart, whether it is in the Liaodong battlefield, or in Julu, Pengcheng.

Defeating the enemy basically relied on the sky thunder, and now he suddenly said that the sky thunder was useless, how could he not be surprised?

Now they can be regarded as a single army going deep!

Although the others didn't speak, they were also moved.

Although Qin Jun has won several games in a row now, he is indeed a little tired.

It's better to hold your hand first, and in the spring of the next year, when the supplies are ready and the sergeants are repaired, they can defeat the Chu army in one fell swoop.

Sensing everyone's hesitation, Zhao Lang quickly showed a smile,

"Do you also think that without Tianlei, our army will not be able to fight?"

"You value the power of weapons too much."

"While weapons are important, they are not omnipotent until they reach a certain level."

Zhao Lang understood the weapon-only thinking of others. After all, it was the first time he had seen the power of gunpowder.

In Daqin, no one is not afraid!

However, if you think that everything can be solved with weapons, you will fall into a misunderstanding!

If because of this, you ignore the fundamentals and think that with gunpowder, you can do whatever you want, then the day of doom is not far away!

This is also a warning to Daqin!

Zhao Lang showed a smile at this time and said,

"If Mrs. Xiang also thinks that if he thinks of a way to break the deterrence of the sky thunder, he can be hostile to me."

"Then they are wrong!"

"This time, I can defeat Xiang Shi without using Tianlei!"

Others were also a little puzzled when they heard this.

Only Zhao Lang knew that the firepower of Tianlei was far from enough compared to the anger of the common people.

Looking at the information sent back by Duan~lightnovelpub.net~ Zhao Lang didn't know if it was God's will.

Xiang Yu set the battlefield at Gaixia, just in time, he still has a song to give to the other party!

"Do they think our army is small? You also think that our army is going deep alone now, without the thunder, are you afraid of being outnumbered?"

"Slave, pass the order to the saint, and I will make all the people of Chu!"

"Tell all the farmers in the counties and counties around Gaixia that from now on, no matter how old or young they are, they will go to Gaixia!"

"Their leader needs them!"

This time, let everyone in the world see the true power of the common people!

Also let the people know their true strength!
