At this moment, outside the city gate of Zhuguo, a team of two thousand people was preparing to attack.
The temporary leader of the two thousand people was Chen Binqi. At this moment, Chen Binqi was staring at the East Gate, seemingly unwilling to let go of any detail.
"Captain Chen, it's less than half an hour before Xu Shi. Looking at the city gate now, everything seems to be quiet. By then we..."
One of his subordinates asked Chen Binqi with some doubts.
Indeed, the city gate looked too peaceful at this moment, and it didn't look like something big was about to happen.
But Chen Binqi shook his head, "What do you know? This is the calm before the storm. How can you still doubt what General Xing said?"
The news that Xing Daorong led a thousand troops from Yu State to contain 100,000 people from Xi State had already spread throughout the army.
It is no exaggeration to call Xing Daorong the God of War now.
Who would doubt what the God of War said, or in other words, who is qualified to doubt it.
After hearing this, the subordinate nodded and stopped talking.
Perhaps this is indeed the case. What General Xing Daorong said is the order of the gods and is absolutely correct.
General Xing's disappearance at this moment must have gone deep into the enemy's rear. As soon as Xu Shi arrives, a broad road will be opened for his two thousand people.
…
Huancheng·Dongchengmen Warehouse.
In the entire Candle Kingdom, almost all the troops that could be mobilized were summoned by Kato Hime.
At this moment, all the soldiers of the Zhu Kingdom gathered at the city gate.
These soldiers are not here to fight, they are all here to carry stuff.
Throughout the day, cart after cart of herbs arrived, and they all needed to be moved to various warehouses.
The entire warehouse was filled with medicinal herbs. Not only the warehouses at the East Gate, but also at the West Gate and North Gate were also overcrowded.
Even many rooms that were not originally used to store things were temporarily used as warehouses.
But even so, there are still cars pulling the herbs over, because in many other places, there are a group of hard-working people who are desperately trying to pull the herbs.
Well, this group of people pulling weeds under the scorching sun was none other than Chen Heishan and the three thousand Daxia soldiers who were captured with him.
Everyone has heavy shackles hanging on their bodies, making it impossible for them to break free, but even so, they still have to go to various parts of the Candle Kingdom to pick herbs.
But not to mention, the herbal medicines found by these people who have actually smoked Huazi are not only accurate, but also of high quality.
Obviously, this is great!
After all, it can be said that the current medicinal herbs are Kato Hime's life. Standing in the warehouse at the east gate, looking at the black powder in the corner, she even felt a little disgusted.
Kato Hime knew that these black powders were certainly not ordinary.
But even so, I am still a little dissatisfied when I see them taking up the place of my medicinal materials.
I wanted to throw them away several times, but in the end, after careful consideration, reason prevailed.
Other than that, there are no gaps in the entire warehouse.
Kato Hime looked at the medicinal herbs in the warehouse and smiled like a maniac.
"So much, I'm going to be prosperous, Your Majesty, look at me!"
That's right, opposite Kato-hime is the current Emperor Qingchen of the Candle Kingdom.
Kato Hime sent someone to tell Qingchen in the morning that she must come here if she is free, as she had made a huge discovery.
At this moment, Qingchen saw that his Grand Governor's laughter had mutated, and the facial features on his face were a little distorted. He said doubtfully: "Grand Governor, although the one we made is close, I always feel that it is different from the Daxia soldiers.
There is a certain difference in the taste found out, could it be that the herbs are wrong?"
As the emperor of the Zhu Kingdom, Hua Zi captured from the Daxia soldiers yesterday would definitely be handed over to him as soon as possible.
Last night, he smoked more than thirty cigarettes, and he was very familiar with the taste.
The Huazi on Daxia soldiers were all made by Xia Yan relying on the formula produced by the system.
Even if the ingredients are exactly the same, it is absolutely impossible for Kato Hime to make Hanako that tastes exactly the same.
But Kato Hime doesn't think so.
"Your Majesty, I have tried so many herbs, and this one has the most similar flavor. I think it is correct. The difference in flavor must be because there is no paper wrapping."
Yesterday's experiments were all conducted without paper wrapping, so of course they wouldn't be too accurate.
But now as long as I roll up all these medicinal materials, the taste will be more than ninety percent similar to before.
"Stop saying anything, I'll roll one for you to take a look at!"
Kato Hime rolled one immediately and then lit it on fire.
However, an accident also happened at this moment. When the paper was lit, a small flame fell down and landed directly on a bundle of small herbs.
This bundle of small herbs is not that big to begin with, only about thirty or fifty stems.
Normally, if you burn it, it will burn. In the past, Katohime wouldn't feel any pain even if she burned a warehouse of herbs like this.
But at this moment, these medicinal materials can be said to be Kato Hime's treasure.
After seeing her baby on fire, Kato Hime's eyes widened and she tried desperately to put it out.
Katohime then quickly threw it to the ground in the hope of extinguishing it, but the herb burned too quickly and had no effect at all.
In a hurry, Qingchen on the side pointed at the pile of black powder and said loudly.
"Captain, you can get in there and put out the fire!"
People in this world don't seem to understand the chemical principles of flame extinguishing, but they do understand the most basic principle of putting fire into sand and it will go out.
After hearing Qingchen's words, Kato Hime suddenly realized.
"Jie Jie Jie, your Majesty is still smart!"
Then Kato Hime didn't hesitate for a moment and stabbed the flaming herb directly into the pile of black powder.
What happened next to Katohime is not very clear.
From his perspective, it just felt like the world fell into silence for a moment.
There was silence all around, as if falling into a void.
Well, the moment the gunpowder touched the open flame, an inhumane and violent explosion occurred.
As the two closest to Gunpowder, Katohime and Qingchen left peacefully without any pain.
But the two of them were not in pain, as was the case with others.
The east gate, north gate, and west gate all trembled violently at this moment.
Watchtowers collapsed at this moment, because the aftermath of the explosion caused countless houses to collapse.
What is even more shocking is that the various houses in the three city gates store extremely flammable medicinal herbs.
Therefore, the three city gates were all ablaze at this moment.
An unprecedented fire spread throughout the ring city.
The already dim sky above the surrounding city also turned fiery red at this moment.
And Zhuguo's soldiers gathered in large numbers between the three city gates. Affected by the aftermath of the explosion, many people were killed on the spot.
Even if you are lucky enough to survive, the situation is not much better than death.
Many people were seriously injured, lying on the ground with blood all over their bodies and wailing.
Today's Ring City is like a hell on earth. Even those who are lucky enough to survive are too busy to take care of themselves and how can they help others.
If I had to add an adjective to this scene, it would be: hell on earth. This chapter has been completed!
