Chapter 1692: Chapter 146-siege (2)
Everything was a blur.
The White Emperor looked at the blurry figure in front of him and chuckled, ”
“Why do you think I have the confidence to kill you before the end of the four symbols tribulation? I’m waiting for the Tribulation of water lightning. This place will be my home ground!”
As soon as it finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck down from the rolling clouds and struck the broken horn on its head.
This wasn’t a Heavenly Tribulation. It was just normal lightning, but it was tainted with a portion of the heavenly Tribulation’s aura.
In the misty rain, bolts of twisted lightning shot out from the horn like the tentacles of a squid.
In the rain, Emperor Bai was like a king who ruled this world.

Beijing.
The city gates opened, and rows of carriages entered the capital along the official road. Accompanying them were pedestrians carrying backpacks and wealthy people in carriages.
At the city gate, the astrologers cooperated with the city guards to interrogate and screen for spies.
In the defense deployment work, strengthening the walls and clearing the fields was an important part.
In the capital, there were two counties, Changle and Taikang. In addition, there were more than a dozen villages and towns of various sizes.
Changle and Taikang each had 3000 troops, cannons, ballistae, and crossbows. The two counties and the capital city were connected, and they helped each other during the battle.
However, towns and villages were not in a position to be defended.
In order to prevent the rebel army from exploiting the grain, the Imperial court decided to bring the wealthy families and landlords of the villages and towns into the capital and collect a corresponding tax for entering the city. To the landlords, this was a good thing that they both agreed with.
If they could obtain protection by paying part of the money and grain, it would definitely be better than being robbed by the rebel army. The former only needed to pay a part of the price, but the latter could be slaughtered.
On the top of the city wall, a large number of laborers were busy either reinforcing the city wall or carrying boulders, rolling wood, and other defensive weapons.
The artillerymen were checking if the ballista and the cannon could be used normally. Different types of soldiers tested different machines.
The infantrymen were running wildly on the horse track in groups, doing seemingly meaningless exercises such as ‘reaching the guard area in the shortest time’ and ‘familiarizing themselves with the positions of different weapons as soon as possible’.
With the active cooperation of the officials, the defense work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Imperial astronomer.
Sun Xuanji brought Guardian Yuan to the alchemy room-the base of the song party. There were 20 to 30 white-robed warlocks busy smelting steel, forging iron, and … Making gunpowder.
Sun Xuanji looked left and right, and then his expression relaxed.
Protector Yuan spoke out his inner thoughts for him,
it’s a good thing that Junior Sister Zhong isn’t here. How would these idiots who only know how to do alchemy experiments dare to make explosives in this building? ”
As if a mute button had been pressed, the alchemy room became silent. The white-robed warlocks stopped what they were doing and looked over expressionlessly.
Sun Xuanji’s mouth twitched.
Song Qing, who was beside him, shrugged.
don’t worry, I’ve told junior martial sister Zhong that she won’t leave the underground for a while.
Sun Xuanji nodded, pretending to let the matter go.
After taking a look at Song Qing, protector Yuan couldn’t help saying, ”
“This mute, turns out he’s been criticizing us in his heart every day, bah!”
Song Qing’s face froze.
Sun Xuanji and Song Qing looked at each other in silence for a few seconds. One of them took out a wooden kite, while the other took out a chopper …
Protector Yuan, who was wearing a wooden kite, was punished to stand in the knife-driving corridor. Song Qing took out a two-fingers-tall butterfly metal cake and said, ”
“This is a new weapon I made.”
Sun Xuanji didn’t say anything. He looked at the disc-shaped metal and waited for Song Qing’s explanation.
it’s no less powerful than a Cannonball, but it’s not used to fire. It’s buried underground. Song Qing pointed at the bump on the metal cake and said, ”
“There are Firestones set up here. As long as you step on it, the Firestones will brush against each other and light up a line of fire. With a boom, both men and horses will be destroyed. “A rank-6 with copper skin and iron bones can only take two hits at most. If a rank-4 martial artist dares to stomp all the way, he will also fall apart.
“That’s right, I’ve also filled it with a large amount of white phosphorus. Once it sticks to someone, it’ll be like maggots in one’s bones and can’t be extinguished.
“It’s a pity that white phosphorus can only be used in winter. The weather is cold now, so there’s no need to worry about it spontaneously combusting.
“This thing is called ‘landmine’, it’s the name that young master Xu gave it.”
Recently, he had been studying how to make landmines. His inspiration came from a book given to him by Xu Qi ‘an called ” firearm Encyclopedia.
According to Xu yinluo, it was his hard work (he had been pestered by the alchemists, so he just scribbled some random things). There were some bold and imaginative weapons recorded in it, such as tanks, fighter jets, grenades, mines, nuclear bombs, and so on.
Song Qing marveled at young master Xu’s wonderful idea, but the description of the weapon was too simple.
Tank-iron-shell carriage with artillery inside.
Frag grenade-a Cannonball that can be thrown.
Land mines-explosives buried in the ground.
Nuclear bomb-the art of boiling water.
Song Qing studied it over and over again and found that landmines were the most reliable and worthy weapon. It was very suitable for the current situation of Da Feng-a city defense Battle.
Tanks didn’t mean much. They were expensive to build, and if they encountered an expert, they would be destroyed in one hit.
If it was a grenade, it could be fired by a cannon. Why throw it by hand?
As for the nuclear bomb, Song Qing did not understand what the weapon had to do with boiling water.
Sun Xuanji’s eyes lit up as he listened.
“Measure!”
at present, there are only eight thousand, all in the warehouse at the end of the corridor. Please take them to the city defense Army, senior Brother Sun. Song Qing said.
This was the limit of what he could do as an Alchemist, and it was also his revenge on the Yunzhou Army.
………….
On the flat and wide outskirts of the city, an Army of 70000 soldiers marched towards the capital. The flag of Yunzhou fluttered in the strong wind.
