Seeing the city gradually becoming silent, Zhao Rui couldn't help but frown.
"In addition to being promoted to three levels in a row, he can also be given gold and a knighthood!"
A heavy reward must be rewarded by a brave man, so two soldiers who looked a little thin stood up immediately.
"Your Highness, the two of us have just come here from Luo City! Before joining the army, we opened a fireworks shop. We have tried what you are making before. If you can trust it, we will take over this job."
Zhao Rui was a little surprised. He didn't expect that among the soldiers sent here, some of them had opened a fireworks shop.
"Okay! I will arrange a special place for you. If you need anything, just tell me. Even if you want a woman, I will send it to you."
The two of them didn't expect Zhao Rui to be so generous. They hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily a few times, then grabbed the firecrackers and gunpowder on the ground and left in a hurry.
The Mauryan army, which had been attacking fiercely outside the barrier just now, suddenly stopped and retreated like a tide.
Outside the Maurya camp, King Ashoka felt heartbroken when he saw the seriously wounded soldiers returning home.
Since he came to the throne, he has never fought such a difficult battle.
I originally thought that the armored army brought by Blue River King could break through the barrier, but I didn't expect that they would still be defeated.
However, the Iron Armored Legion was not seriously damaged. The reason why they retreated was because they were frightened back by the earth-shattering explosions on the battlefield.
"Go and check immediately. What kind of weapons did the Shang army use? Why are they so powerful?"
King Blue River was so angry that he almost slapped his deputy.
When fighting in the past, he would collect the intelligence on the battlefield immediately, but this time his understanding of the merchant army was almost zero.
The various defensive weapons on the wall gave him a headache. He originally wanted to rely on the strength of the Iron Armored Corps to rush up, but he didn't expect that a strange thing was thrown from the city wall, killing dozens of people.
.
The soldiers were the elite of the Iron Armored Legion. Each one of them was covered in thick armor. Normally, even a sword could not cut through it, but the moment the thing exploded, the bodies of these soldiers were penetrated along with the armor.
Some people were directly blown to pieces, it was too horrible to see!
Such a powerful weapon is simply the nemesis of their armored regiment. If they continue to fight like this, the entire regiment may die under the barrier.
As a last resort, Blue River King had no choice but to retreat first.
"I have seen everything that happened on the battlefield, uncle Huang. Even I have never seen the weapons used by the merchant army..."
King Blue River waved his hand: "I don't mean to blame you, but I didn't expect this merchant army to be so powerful! If we want to defeat them, we have to continue to increase our troops here, and the new domestic weapons
It has to be shipped here too.”
Ashoka nodded heavily, he also meant the same thing.
"Don't worry, Third Emperor Uncle, the domestic army has quickly gathered here. In half a month, we will have three million soldiers in our hands. By then, we will definitely be able to take down the barrier in one fell swoop!"
King Blue River patted Ashoka on the shoulder with appreciation.
"You are becoming more and more like a heroic figure now!"
This is facing an ordinary country, and there is no problem for them to do this. Moreover, this sweeping momentum is also the most important temperament of a king.
But the bad thing is that they are facing Dashang, and the military commander Zhao Rui is a modern person who has traveled from a parallel plane.
What awaits them is a nightmare!
In the next few days, the two sides were in peace, but explosions were heard from time to time in the Merchant Army camp. Although the power was not very strong, it always attracted everyone's attention.
