Zhao Wujiang watched from the side, and following the descriptions on the memorial, he could already imagine the scene at that time in his mind.

These war beasts in southern Xinjiang should be controlled by Gu insects.

It may be difficult for ordinary Gu insects to control humans who are intelligent, sensitive and complex, but it is not difficult to control those beasts with simple and simple thinking.

The people of Southern Xinjiang rode these ferocious beasts to fight on the battlefield, and they were three points stronger than the heavy cavalry of Daxia.

Daxia also has catapults and crossbows, but they are not of much use against these beasts.

Gu insects are afraid of fire, and Zhao Wujiang's elixirs also appeared on the battlefield, but there were also targeted measures in southern Xinjiang.

Waterwheels appeared on the battlefield. Southern Xinjiang has always had a lot of rainfall, and there is an inexhaustible supply of water from rivers, lakes, seas, mountains and rivers. Waterwheels were pushed into the battlefield, and Daxia's fire attack also lost its effectiveness.

As for the effect of Zhao Wujiang's elixir, even if it suppressed the Gu insects in southern Xinjiang, these manipulated war beasts had no consciousness and relied on instinct and blood to rush into the battlefield and tear the soldiers apart.

Therefore, in the first battle, Daxia was defeated very quickly, so they had to close the city gates tightly and build defenses with moats and trenches.

"The mountains and forests in southern Xinjiang are dense, and the poisonous creatures are afraid of fire, but now the fire attack cannot be effective, which is a big problem."

Xuanyuan Jing's eyebrows were cold. Although the first battle was not too important, it was undoubtedly a bit of a blow to morale, so he had to find a way to deal with it.

"Don't Daxia have firearms?" Zhao Wujiang asked.

What are firearms? Mr. Zhao has never been on the battlefield, right... The Minister of the Ministry of War said:

"What Master Zhao can say is that the arrows were wrapped in cloth, dipped in pine oil, ignited and then fired by the archers?"

"Gunpowder." Zhao Wujiang narrowed his eyes slightly and changed his words.

"Gunpowder?" The Minister of the Ministry of War wondered, could the gunpowder be a secret recipe of some kind of decoction, boiled with fire?

Xuanyuan Jing also looked sideways at Zhao Wujiang in confusion, but there was a little light in her eyes. She knew that Zhao Wujiang had always been thoughtful and intelligent, so he might have some solution.

When Zhao Wujiang saw the expressions of the two people, he felt a hint of surprise in his heart. Is there no gunpowder in this world?

He changed his statement again:

"Are there any fireworks?"

"Fireworks? Mr. Zhao, what are these things you are talking about? Are they medicines and flowers?" The Minister of War was extremely confused.

Gunpowder, in the Blue Star Huaxia Kingdom, is said to have been invented by Ge Hong of the Jin Dynasty.

Ancient Taoist alchemists pursued immortality and accidentally invented gunpowder while refining alchemy. However, the alchemists were not interested in gunpowder, which could not lead to immortality and was easily unstable, so they taught the formula to military strategists, which resulted in one of the four great inventions of ancient China.

One black powder.

Without refining elixirs, in the ancient context, who would have thought that mixing sulfur, nitrate, and carbon would cause a violent reaction?

There is also stone grease, which is extremely lethal when mixed with gunpowder, and is actually used to make ink for lighting and lubrication.

Once gunpowder and stones are thrown into the battlefield, it is impossible to resist with the waterwheels and war beasts of southern Xinjiang.

Zhao Wujiang's heart was surging and he said loudly:

"Call the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of Taichang Temple, quickly."

The Minister of War was even more confused, Xuanyuan Jing said in a deep voice:

"Go quickly!"

"Wei Chen obeys the order..." The Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly left. He was extremely confused. What was going on?

After the Minister of War left, Xuanyuan Jing asked:

"Have you thought of a solution?"

"Yes." Zhao Wujiang nodded, shook his head and smiled:

"Xuanyuan Jing, I didn't expect that in Daxia for so many years, there was no gunpowder used in the military."

"Da Xia's heavy cavalry swept across the kingdoms, and there were also fire attacks, but this gunpowder you are talking about? Is it fire or medicine?" Xuanyuan Jing was confused.

Zhao Wujiang smiled gently:
Chapter completed!
