My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

After a moment of contemplation, Emperor Xuanzhao said to his accompanying guards, "Go and investigate immediately to see if there are any of the new emperor's men in the northern pass."

Also, try to find out what kind of weapons they used when they shot at us today, and why they were so powerful.

After giving the instructions, Emperor Xuanzhao summoned someone to tally the day's losses.

When the statistics were tallied, Emperor Xuanzhao's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. They hadn't even touched the city wall of Beiguan, yet they had already lost more than 10,000 men, with another two or three thousand wounded.

These two or three thousand men were all hit in different parts of their bodies. Only wounds were visible, but no arrowheads. The army medics were busy and sweating profusely.

The wounded soldiers were in excruciating pain, and their screams echoed throughout the camp.

Some soldiers died during treatment.

Morale is low in the Canglan army.

Many soldiers were terrified by this battle, and some even believed that fighting the Qi army was tantamount to suicide.

With such powerful weapons, how could they possibly win?

It's better to go back now.

Emperor Xuanzhao was furious to see that the morale of the entire army was low.

He took the imperial physician with him to the wounded soldiers' camp, saying, "Take a look at their wounds."

After examining the wounded soldiers, the imperial physician respectfully said, "Your Majesty, there is something in their wounds. We must remove it."

Emperor Xuanzhao said with a stern face, "Take it! I want to see what it is."

The imperial physician heated the knife over a fire and then cut open the soldier's wound. The soldier let out a scream, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

The imperial physician finally pulled out a cylindrical object with a blunt, rounded head from the soldier's wound.

He presented the item to Emperor Xuanzhao and said, "Your Majesty, this is what injured our people."

Emperor Xuanzhao picked up the bullet and examined it closely. It wasn't large, but it was very smooth.

The material looked somewhat like copper, but he couldn't understand how something so small could penetrate the soldiers' bodies from such a distance.

He felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and confusion.

It seemed as if the world had undergone a complete transformation in the blink of an eye. This enormous change shattered his original ambitions.

Seeing Emperor Xuanzhao's gloomy face, the accompanying officials dared not utter a sound.

Even though they were very curious about what it was, no one dared to ask.

Emperor Xuanzhao held the bullet in silence for a long time before saying to Ling Yixiao, "At all costs, obtain the weapons they possess. Have the Armory do its utmost to manufacture the same weapons. I want every soldier in Canglan to have such weapons."

"Yes!" Ling Yixiao quickly responded and immediately went to make the arrangements.

He knew about the situation in Beiguan because he had already planted his own people there.

Stealing weapons now could ruin his earlier plans.

But as long as they can get their hands on the weapons, and as long as they can produce the same weapons, they can dominate the Central Plains.

However, his plan was destined to fail.

Not to mention him, even the soldiers at Beiguan were curious about what kind of weapons Lu Yinheng and his group were using, which were so powerful.

With only thirty-odd men and weapons, they repelled an enemy army of two hundred thousand.

What exactly do such divine weapons look like? If they were lucky enough to see one, their lives would not have been in vain.

However, Lu Yinheng and his group carried all their weapons with them at all times.

Lu Yinheng would lend his binoculars to others, but he never let go of his gun, and no one was allowed to touch it.

At this moment, Lu Yinheng and his group concealed themselves and arrived outside the Canglan Army camp.

Tonight's battle not only severely damaged the morale of the Canglan army, but the soldiers were also terrified by the weapons. The patrolling soldiers were listless, and none of them noticed Lu Yinheng and his group.

Lu Yinheng hid in the shadows, using the night vision binoculars Ji Yunshuang had given him, and quietly observed the situation in the Canglan Army camp.

Based on the movements of the soldiers, he quickly deduced the location of Emperor Xuanzhao.

He whispered something to General Yao, then quietly changed his position. He found a suitable spot to throw a grenade and hurled it towards Emperor Xuanzhao's location.

Emperor Xuanzhao was summoning his men back to their tents for a meeting when he suddenly heard a voice. His guards immediately became alert, shouting, "Hidden weapon!" and blocking his way. All the other guards around him were also on high alert, drawing their swords.

To their surprise, although they managed to block the 'hidden weapon,' it was unlike any other hidden weapon; it actually exploded right among them.

With a deafening roar, dust filled the air and flames soared. Several guards were blasted several meters away, while others were blown to pieces and died instantly.

Although Emperor Xuanzhao was protected by guards, his hands and feet were injured by the explosion.

The grenade that Lu Yinheng threw threw the entire Canglan Army into chaos.

Countless soldiers scattered like headless flies, mechanically asking questions as they went.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

"What it is?"

……

But no one had ever seen a bomb, and no one knew what it was.

However, Ling Yixiao quickly realized that this must be the work of the Qi army. The fact that the scouts hadn't reported anything meant that the Qi army hadn't deployed many men, and that they hadn't discovered the enemy under the cover of night.

The enemy, relying on their advanced weaponry, launched a surprise attack.

After figuring it out, he immediately stepped forward to take charge.

"Don't panic, everyone! It's the Qi army! The Qi army is launching a sneak attack. Let's work together to find them."

Emperor Xuanzhao brought many skilled warriors with him on this personal expedition to ensure his safety. Although many were killed or injured by the grenades thrown by Lu Yinheng, quite a few remain.

They quickly recovered from their shock and fear and began searching for Qi Jun. Soon, they discovered Lu Yinheng's whereabouts.

Lu Yinheng pulled the pin on a grenade, threw it in Ling Yixiao's direction, and then quickly began to retreat.

General Yao and the others immediately followed the plan, covering Lu Yinheng's retreat.

Although Ling Yixiao was prepared, the power of the grenade was simply too great.

For someone who has never seen a grenade before and has no experience in dodging, even if they are prepared, it is difficult to completely dodge it.

Ling Yixiao was unable to dodge in time and was injured in one leg by the explosion. The flying shards also injured one of his eyes.

Meanwhile, a large number of soldiers around him were killed by grenades.

The soldiers, who had just been roused by Ling Yixiao, were once again terrified by this sudden turn of events.
