Crossing over reveals a waste's difficult journey home

The Huns grew up on horseback, lived on animal husbandry and hunting, and they believed they were better at fighting than the Daxia.

If they were fighting on horseback, they would definitely have no problem fighting one against ten, let alone two, against the Daxia.

Now Da Xia has only dispatched a mere 10,000 people to pursue them. Isn't this looking down on him?

So the Xiongnu general immediately stopped his army from advancing and decided to teach a lesson to the Daxia army that dared to pursue them in this open area.

If you are lucky, you might be able to kill a lot of people, so you can vent your anger for the previous failure in the siege.

When Zong Zhengliang, who was pursuing, heard the news that the Hun army in front had stopped, a murderous smile appeared on his face.

"Let's assemble the equipment immediately in the back."

After the order was given, the troops in the rear temporarily stopped advancing, dismounted, took off some things on their horses and began to assemble them.

In a short while, this group of people assembled the seemingly messy parts into three small catapults, but this time the catapults did not throw stones, but small gunpowder bags.

Before the Xiongnu attacked, not only Bletilla striata, medical books, but also Shi Miao and gunpowder were brought to Zhen'an City from the capital.

However, for safety reasons, Shi Miao walked slower than Bai Ji and barely arrived one day before the Huns' attack.

Regardless of the fatigue from the long journey, he asked the craftsmen in Zhen'an City to use existing materials and make a small catapult according to the drawings given by Yu Chong.

He worked overtime to prepare the gunpowder, and finally made ten small gunpowder bags, twenty or thirty things similar to firecrackers, and two simple signal flares the day before chasing the Huns.

In fact, for Shi Miao, who was once a liar, then a criminal, and now a technician, he could have not come to Zhen'an City.

But Jiang Qi's promise of becoming an official was like a table of delicious food that firmly captured the stomach of a hungry man, making him unable to refuse.

He thought about it for a long time, and although he cherished his life very much, he still came.

Besides, if he didn't come, Yu Chong would come. One of them who was familiar with gunpowder had to come. After all, this thing was too dangerous. It would be ridiculous if it didn't blow up the enemy but blew up its own side.

Yu Chong was the one who chose him to be the explosive, and he might continue to work under the other party in the future. If he doesn't perform well now, do he want to live a good life in the future?

After analyzing the pros and cons, he took the initiative to propose going to the frontier, hoping that after he returned, His Majesty would really give him an official position so that he could bring honor to his family.

After getting the things ready as quickly as possible, Shi Miao followed a general and went around to the side of the Huns.

When they reached the side and looked from a distance, they got two pieces of news, one bad and one good.

The bad news was that the Huns on the side were not careless and were always paying attention to the surrounding situation. The good news was that there was a small hill not far from the Hun army, which could block part of the opponent's line of sight.

However, the hill was too small to block too much, so they couldn't all go over in order to avoid being discovered.

Shi Miaoneng was able to venture into the world on his own after his master's death, and he did not get killed. This was due to his quick mind and the ability to make decisions quickly.

For the sake of delicious food and his position as an official, he gritted his teeth and said to the generals who were protecting him, "You stay here. I and a few others will take the food over there."

When the general heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle. The general had said that Mr. Shi must be well protected.

Besides, he had seen this gunpowder that looked ordinary but was extremely powerful once it exploded. He understood its importance and the importance of Shi Miao even more. How could he let the other party take the risk?

But he also knew that if too many people went over there, it would easily alert the enemy. He thought about it and made a decision: "Mr. Shi, you stay here and I will take the people over."

"What were you doing there? Did you know when to light the fire, or when to throw it? No need to say more. If you wait any longer, the Huns might notice you."

The general knew that Shi Miao was telling the truth. He was indeed not as useful as the other party in the past. So he had to send two more people with high martial arts skills to protect the other party closely. If there was any danger, they must bring the person back safely.

He himself asked his army to be ready to rescue people immediately if the Huns made any move.

Is Shi Miao afraid? He is almost scared to death.

When had he ever seen so many troops and horses in his life? However, the calmness he had learned from deceiving people and his desire to be an official helped him temporarily overcome his fear. When the Huns were not paying attention, he led his men to run down the hill at the fastest speed.

Looking at this small trebuchet at this moment, he admired Yu Chong even more. The other party probably anticipated the inconvenience of moving it, so the trebuchet he made was not only small, but also had four wheels underneath, which allowed the trebuchet to move quickly.

However, the trebuchet made in this way had many shortcomings, such as not being strong enough, not being stable enough, and not being able to throw too far. Fortunately, these shortcomings were compensated by adding gunpowder.

The gunpowder they make now still has limited lethality, but the noise becomes much louder after being made into simple gunpowder packages.

What he wanted to do was to use the huge explosion of gunpowder to scare the Hun army. Even if he couldn't scare people, he could at least scare the horses.

With so many horses together, if only a small number of them were frightened and went crazy, it would be a disaster for the entire army.

With a good idea in mind, Shi Miao personally placed a gunpowder bag and threw it out with a catapult. Soon, several small gunpowder bags flew towards the Xiongnu army under the action of the catapult.

Did the Huns see the explosive packs? They did, and they even saw Shi Miao and the others hiding on the small slope.

But they didn't know what gunpowder was, let alone its power. Looking at just a few Daxia people and something that was not even the size of a human head flying towards them, their eyes were full of disdain.

They thought that the Daxia people had been frightened to the point of losing their minds, and that it was ridiculous for them to kill so many of them with such a small stone.

This is not to smash them to death, but to make them laugh to death.

However, the Huns soon stopped laughing. The "stone" that seemed like a joke to them suddenly exploded in mid-air, making a sound like thunder.

And it wasn't just one explosion that happened, but several. Huge explosions rang out one after another, causing chaos in the Hun army.

The horses were frightened and ran around madly. The Huns on horseback were stunned by the explosion, their ears were buzzing, and they were unable to control the horses under them in time, and were soon thrown off.

The lucky Huns fell to places where no horses had run and were able to barely stand up. The unlucky ones were directly trampled over by the horses and died on the spot.

For a moment, the neighing of horses and the roars and screams of people rang out at the same time, it was as miserable as it could be.
