Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 65: Is this okay for you to call it?

The black gunpowder synthesized from sulfide, nitrate, and charcoal is already powerful enough. If a certain amount of white sugar is added at this time, it will become more powerful.

Then its power will be increased several times or even ten times.

As we all know, white sugar is a flammable substance. It will quickly dehydrate and burn when encountering high temperatures. Of course, burning white sugar requires an oxidant and high temperature. Potassium nitrate in gunpowder is its best oxidant. The heat of burning gunpowder also provides high-temperature conditions. .

Therefore, sugar can be said to be the power amplifier of gunpowder. With it, gunpowder will be invincible.

This is why there is a saying in the market, one sulfur, two nitrates, three charcoals, and a little sugar.

Xu Da gathered troops very quickly because he could wait, but Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu, and thousands of Ming soldiers who were trapped on the Mobei grassland at this time could not wait.

On the capital side, he set off with only 3000 troops.

The rest of the soldiers and horses were directly sent by the Metropolitan Governor's Office to Daning and other border commanders, asking them to choose those who were strong and good at fighting and march directly to Peiping.

With everything ready, Xu Da rushed directly to Yangzhou with his troops.

"Where's Mr. Yang?" Xu Dalong walked into the government office with striding steps, but there was no sign of Yang Xianren, so he couldn't help but ask.

"For Duke Wei, Mr. Yang is currently testing his new invention outside the city." Lu Mingyi, who was waiting at the government office, bowed and replied.

"Whenever, there is still time to make some inventions here." Xu Da grabbed Lu Mingyi's hand and walked out. "Hurry up and take me to find your master. The military situation is urgent. If our army arrives at the northern border a quarter of an hour late, one more soldier may be killed. As a result, the Ming Dynasty will have one more widowed woman and one more child without a father!! "

Lu Mingyi, a civil servant, had never seen such a battle before.

When Xu Da visited Yangzhou before, his attitude was gentle and polite. He even forgot that the other party was the invincible military god of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, the oppressive momentum and resolute eyes gave people a sense of chilling.

Lu Mingyi was almost dragged away by Xu Daban.

When Xu Da found Yang Xian, he had just finished the last round of gunpowder testing.

"Wei Guogong, you came at the right time. The new gunpowder has just been developed." Yang Xian looked at the visitor and smiled.

Originally, Xu Da was planning to take Yang Xian away without saying anything.

As he and Lu Mingyi said before, the military situation is urgent, and no matter how good the invention is, it is not as important as human life.As for Yang Xian's role, both he and Zhu Yuanzhang tacitly understood it, so Xu Da did not expect Yang Xian to play any role in this war, even though he knew from Xu Miaoyun that Yang Xian had considerable military talents.

But this talent is still too little that can be used in a war of this level.

Therefore, in fact, he is still leading this army, and he is essentially fighting this battle.

But at this moment, when he suddenly heard the word "gunpowder", Xu Da immediately stopped his movements and asked: "New type of gunpowder? Is it very powerful?"

"It's alright." Yang Xian chuckled.

Liu Kun on the side looked at Yang Xian with great admiration, because he had just witnessed the scene when the new gunpowder exploded, which was earth-shattering!

He didn't read much, so this was the only word he could think of.

The sound was like a god being angry and raining down thunder.

"Is it still possible?" Xu Da was slightly disappointed, because every previous invention by Yang Xian was so amazing, so he instinctively thought that gunpowder would be the same.

If any powerful gunpowder can be invented, it will naturally be of great help to the Northern Expedition.

Sure enough, expectations are still too high?

"Do you want to see Mr. Wei Guo?" Yang Xian asked.

Xu Da pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.

As a general, Xu Da knew that any factor on the battlefield would affect the final trend of the entire battle.

Therefore, only after understanding the power of this new explosive can he make better decisions in the future and avoid misjudgment of the situation.

Yang Xian asked someone to bring a ready-made explosive bag.Saw the dynamite package.

Xu Da was stunned on the spot.

He just noticed this thing that looked like a small folded quilt.

But he never imagined that this thing could be gunpowder!
"Master Yang, is this the new explosive you developed?" Xu Da couldn't help but ask.

Yang Xian nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for his men to place explosives at a distance.

After everything was ready, Yang Xian said: "Wei Guogong, for the sake of safety, let's move back a little further."

Xu Da looked up and saw that the place where the bomb was placed was dozens of meters away from where they were standing. Do they still need to retreat from this distance?

Yang Xian may have been a little too careful.

Although he is a rare talent, in some aspects, he is still a scholar.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xu Da still followed the advice and retreated with Yang Xian.

Wait until you reach a safe distance.

Yang Xian made a gesture.

Someone lit the fuse.

Boom!

The next moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded.

Suddenly, the entire forest burst into flames.

The flames spread quickly in all directions. Fortunately, it was winter, and both the ground and the trees were covered with snow.

Otherwise, this hilltop might be devoured by fire.

Snowflakes flew for a while.

Xu Da stood far away, and at that moment, he felt an invisible shock wave coming towards him.

Although he relied on his strong and solid physique to stand firmly on the spot, there was a buzzing roar in his ears.

As if the sky was falling apart, the sound of thunder made people's heart palpitate.

He watched helplessly as the heat wave spread from the center of the explosion, melting all the snow on the ground!
Xu Da was stunned.

What Yang Xian said just now kept echoing in his mind.

"The power is enough."

Is this power also called success?
If this is called okay.

Could it be that the gunpowder originally used by their Ming army was just the firecrackers used by children during the Spring Festival?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xu Da would really not believe that there was such power in this world.

After the shock, Xu Da carefully observed and studied the explosion just now.

He estimated that the radius of the explosion was about 50 meters. No wonder Yang Xian asked him to keep retreating just now.Xu Da was frightened when he thought about the consequences if he insisted on standing where he was.

As for the power, it can crack mountains and crack rocks!
Just now he could see clearly that there was a big stone where the gunpowder had been placed, and the stone was directly blown open by the explosion.

"How about it, Duke Wei, this gunpowder should come in handy during the Northern Expedition." Yang Xian said with a smile.

　Thank you all for your support and take a bow.
