Chapter 204: Large Sky-shaking Bomb
The north wind brings a chill, snowflakes are flying in the sky, and most of the people in the capital city wear fur coats or cotton clothes. Winter declares its sovereignty over this season with its coldness.
Although not many people go out shopping, the shops on the street are open as usual. However, the hawkers carrying their wares on their shoulders along the street are reluctant to stay in their warm homes and are still busy working for a few pieces of change to support their families.
Luo Li was wearing a soft, warm, thin cotton coat, a neat riding suit, and a bright red cloak. She was riding a horse and galloping through the flying snow, and came to the Mo Yun Cavalry Camp in the south of the city.
Prince of Qin Zhao Defang and others were waiting eagerly outside the military camp. A thin layer of snow had fallen on their tall and handsome bodies, making them look like an exquisite sculpture.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves getting closer, the big red figure surrounded by a dozen riders appeared in sight. From a small red dot, it gradually turned into vivid eyebrows and eyes, and the arc of Qin Wang Zhao Defang's lips became bigger and bigger.
The King of Qin shook off the snow on his body, leaped up, and in a few leaps he was in front of the horse team. He made a beautiful spin in the air and landed on Luo Li's horse.
He stretched out his arms to hold Luo Li's slender waist, and took the reins. When his hand touched that cold slender hand, his heart ached!
: "Li'er, why don't you come in a carriage? Your hands must be frozen, right?"
Luo Li no longer needed to control the horse. She could feel the hot air blowing against her ears as he spoke. The tingling feeling flowed from the tips of her ears to her toes.
She turned her head and looked up at that handsome and resolute face. Seeing the heartache and doting in his deep eyes, she couldn't help but be moved. She pecked his chin and smiled coquettishly: "Zhao Defang, I haven't seen you for two days. I miss you so much that I want to grow wings and fly over. How can I be willing to sit in that slow carriage?"
Qin Wang Zhao Defang's heart was moved! A stream of heat rushed up from his body, and a blush appeared on his handsome face.
He had a deep understanding of the princess's bold love and hate. As a virgin who had never experienced love affairs, he sometimes couldn't stand the princess's bold public display of love.
"Li'er, the tip of your nose is frozen red." The King of Qin responded with a red face.
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, who was usually thick-skinned and scheming, was teased by her like a shy boy, Luo Li couldn't help but giggle happily in her heart.
Hong Gu, Si Yu and others beside her secretly admired the young lady. Only our stupid young lady could be so bold as to love and hate in front of others!
When she hated His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, she would curse him like a dog every day without any scruples. When she loved His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, she would dare to express her love and kiss him in front of many people.
Yu Li whispered in the ear of Ni Shan'er who was riding on the same horse: "Shan'er, did you see that? When you grow up, learn from this. When you meet a man you like, love him boldly and passionately."
Ni Shan'er's frozen little face became even redder with embarrassment. She was too embarrassed to reply to Sister Yuli, but her eyes were secretly glancing at the figures snuggling together on the horse's back in front of her.
After entering the military camp, they rode their horses across the large parade ground and all the way to the heavily guarded weapons research and development base at the back.
Prince Qin Zhao Defang jumped off the horse holding Luo Li. Wu Xing, who was waiting beside him, bowed and took the reins thrown by the prince with a smile.
Yun Yi also stepped forward and took Siyu's horse reins attentively, looking at the beauty on horseback with a smile, "Siyu, are you cold?"
Siyu envied the young lady, but she was too embarrassed to let Brother Yunyi carry her off the horse in public. "It's not cold!" She shyly put her hand on Yunyi's outstretched arm and jumped off the horse.
Yu Li looked around and sighed helplessly. "Shan'er, our two little cabbages are too tender, no pig dares to come and push them, so you'd better get off the horse by yourself!"
Swordsmith Ou Erzi was polishing a heavy sword with Shen Qiu. "Shen Qiu, are there any extremely strong women in the princess's big-foot female army? This sword weighing ninety-six kilograms is not something that ordinary people can wield."
The thin Shen Qiu shook his head, "Master, I don't know either."
From the title of Master, it can be seen that Shen Qiu, the little assistant who was sent to Master Ou, has won the recognition and love of Master Ou with his strength, and successfully jumped to the status of Master Ou's dear disciple.
"Wow!... If Pang Ying swings this big knife, chopping off the enemy's head will be as easy as cutting vegetables?" Luo Li shouted in surprise when she saw the big knife for the first time.
When Mr. Ou heard the voice, he looked up, stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, Princess, there is only this last precious sword that has not been polished. Today, the two of us, master and disciple, will be able to finish it."
Shen Qiu also quickly stood up and bowed respectfully!
The King of Qin extended his hand to help him, nodded slightly but did not say anything. Luo Li smiled with great satisfaction, thanked him for his hard work, and praised him twice.
Pang Ying, who was following behind, took two steps forward impatiently and saw that the thick and tough blade was reflected with smooth and graceful traces of snowflakes, and a heavy and sharp aura emanated from the blade.
She stared at the knife with burning eyes and asked, "Princess! Is this the snowflake iron sword made for me?" Pang Ying's voice trembled with excitement.
Pang Ying, who usually has a stubborn temper and speaks aggressively, was so excited that Luo Li felt fresh and funny: "Of course it's for you. As a female soldier of our Big Foot Women's Corps, who else can move it except you?"
Pang Ying was so excited that he suddenly bowed to Mr. Ou and Shen Qiu and said, "Please, Masters, give me a good scabbard. I will never leave the sword without it, even when I eat or sleep!"
Shen Qiu looked at the woman in front of him who was as burly as a small mountain, and secretly complained: With such a long and heavy sword, are you sure you will carry it with you even when you eat or sleep?
Seeing his master beside him stroking his beard and smiling without saying anything, Shen Qiu had no choice but to agree: "Lady, you don't have to be polite. I will match this precious sword with a suitable scabbard."
"Master, you are finally here, go and see your disciple's masterpiece." The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor appeared from nowhere, with a look of pride and mystery on his face!
This old disciple has been staying here for many days, working day and night to research the powerful granular gunpowder thunder bomb. It seems that he has realized his dream.
Luo Li nodded modestly, "Lead the way, I will go and see your masterpiece."
Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was as excited as an old monkey, jumping around the master with his feet in a row. "Master, the power of this thunder bomb is too great when it explodes. When you test it later, you must be mentally prepared. Stay far away and plug your ears with cotton."
Luo Li curled her lips in disdain! No matter how powerful this thunder bomb is when it explodes, is it as scary as the bombs of later generations?
When Luo Li saw those iron guys filled with more than ten kilograms of yellow granular gunpowder, she was really shocked!
[Damn! This old disciple of Ghost Hand is really cruel and ruthless!
If such a large grenade is thrown into the enemy group with the fuse lit, the power of the explosion will be so great that it will drive the enemy's horses crazy, not to mention how many casualties it will inflict.】
: "Ghost Hand, you got some of these big things, are they easy to carry?
You shrunk them ten times, and when you use them, they will bloom everywhere among the enemy groups, wouldn't it be more effective?"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor blinked his little triangular eyes and figured out what was going on.
He was a little unwilling to be rejected by his master for his masterpiece, "Master, big has its advantages, small has its advantages. When I make some small thunder bombs, and use them together with the large thunder bombs, it will definitely have a miraculous effect!"
Qin Wang Zhao Defang smiled faintly, "Uncle Master, these ten or so large-sized Thunder Bombs are enough for now. Please hurry up and make more small-sized ones. The more the better!"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor rolled his eyes at his nephew in dissatisfaction!
[A wife slave! Whatever my wife says is what I do.
OK! I, Guishou, am also a slave of the master, a good disciple who listens to the master. 】
"Master, I will snatch Shen Qiu from Old Man Ou today and have him make a small iron can mold. Then I will have the craftsmen work overtime day and night, and we will be able to produce a batch of finished products in five days when we set out on the expedition."
Wu Xing carried a large thunder bomb with a surface like a tortoise shell and walked to a small stone hill made of huge stones a hundred steps away.
Next to the small stone hill stood a dozen wooden horses and wooden men wearing iron armor, which were used as targets for the enemy's experiments.
Wu Xing took out a flint and lit the fuse on the thunder bomb. With his skill and courage, he watched the fuse burn for a while, threw it away from a distance, and then used his lightness skills to evacuate quickly!
"Boom!..." A loud noise shook the earth! The ground beneath my feet was shaking, and the flames and smoke from the violent explosion of gunpowder filled the air. The energy of the huge explosion effortlessly overturned the small stone hill made of large pieces of bluestone. The bluestones rolled in the air, dancing with flames and smoke, and then they hit the ground with a dull sound.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor gave each person two cotton balls to plug their ears in advance, but everyone was still frightened and their faces changed drastically, and their hearts were beating wildly!
Yu Li was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shouted: "Oh my god!... Damn it! Ghost Hand's magical skill is even more powerful than Thunder God!..."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor glanced at his master with a smug look on his face, and saw that his master was not at all shocked. Instead, his expression was as calm as if he had seen a naughty boy setting off a big firecracker during the New Year.
The smug look on Ghost Hand Poison Doctor's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a humble attitude, "Master, what do you think of the effect of this thunder bomb? If there is anything that needs improvement, please give me some advice."
Luo Li turned her head to look at the old disciple who was asking for advice with approval, "The explosion effect should be good! Let's go and take a look."
King Qin, who had already witnessed the power of the thunderbolt test once, was still very excited.
After the princess improved the gunpowder, she asked her uncle to replace it with a thunder bomb in an iron can. The power after the explosion was too great! If the Song army was equipped with this thunder bomb, what would those foreign heavy armored cavalry be worth?
The Song Dynasty army will surely be the invincible army in this world!
When everyone arrived at the place where the thunder bomb exploded, the small stone hill had disappeared, and on the ground was a deep pit as big as a house! Bluestones were scattered all over the ground around the pit, and the armored cavalry targets nearby were shattered if they were close, and they were toppled if they were far away! These armored cavalry were the flesh and blood of the enemy, so it was conceivable what a miserable and bloody scene it would be at this moment.
"Master, I followed your instructions. Not only was the surface of the iron can cast into a tortoise shell with vertical and horizontal lines, but it was also filled with a large number of iron nails and arrowheads.
I also smeared poison on those iron nails and arrowheads. If they pierce the armor and bleed, there is no chance of survival!" Ghost Hand Poison Doctor introduced his masterpiece.
"Damn it!...Senior Brother Ghost Hand, you are so cruel, ruthless, sinister, vicious and poisonous!" Before Luo Li could speak, Yu Li shouted out what was in the young lady's heart.
The ghost-handed poison doctor rolled his little triangular eyes!
: "To be soft on the enemy is stupid!"
