After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1263 Sweeping Through Dongfu Town [2]

"Xiaomi, give some of those sharp weapons, the little ball, to Master Bi and Master Gong." Grandpa Qin rode over and asked Qin Xiaomi for the weapons: "Master Bi and Master Gong are going to follow the craftsmen from the supply battalion into Dongfu Town to survey the tunnels, so they need something to protect themselves."

Commander Gao, who was in charge of supplies, begged Grandpa Qin to come and ask Qin Xiaomi for the weapon, the fireball.

"It has to be the kind that explodes when you pull and throw it."

"They even order like they're ordering from a menu?" Qin Xiaomi complained, but still readily handed over the weapon... Now that the weapon has been created, let's use it in a spectacular way, otherwise it'll be a waste.

"These two boxes were specially fitted with a friction flint; they'll explode with a pull and a throw."

Grandpa Qin was very happy and waved to one side of the battlefield: "Commander Gao, it's done. Bring Master Gong and Master Bi over to get the weapons!"

"Hey, hey, hey, they're here!" Gao Qianhu said cheerfully, leading a dozen experienced, highly skilled, and elderly people of varying ages over.

Surprisingly, there was also Master Craftsman Liu inside, the one who went to the ghost village to repair the stove and bed for the Qin family but was afraid of ghosts and left the village early.

"Old Qin Qianhu, Master Qin, we meet again!" Master Liu greeted the grandfather and grandson warmly.

"Master Craftsman Liu, are you also going to Dongfu Town to wipe out the enemy forces? It's very dangerous," Qin Xiaomi reminded him.

After all, he was neither a craftsman like Master Bi, who was employed by the Ministry of Works, nor a craftsman like Master Gong, who had been registered in the Ministry of Works and would be conscripted to help whenever the government or military needed him.

Master Liu must have volunteered to help.

Qin Xiaomi guessed correctly.

“I know, but even this small amount of work will earn me some credit, which will benefit my Liu family,” Master Craftsman Liu said with a smile. “I will take good care of myself.”

Going to help the Wei army would also allow him to see the Qin family again and gain their favor. This benefit would be immense during wartime, and Master Liu felt that his risk was worthwhile!
"Master Craftsman Liu, come here, this weapon is yours... I'll teach you how to use it." Uncle Qin handed a weapon to Master Craftsman Liu and personally taught him how to use it.

The craftsmen, young, middle-aged, and elderly, learned cautiously and eventually figured out how to use it.

However, curiosity was piqued, and he kept asking, "If small pieces of flint can be rubbed together to produce sparks that can ignite a sharp object... then could these small pieces of flint be added to a tinderbox, and completely change the way a tinderbox is used to start a fire?!"

"Whether it's possible or not, you craftsmen will know once you try it yourselves." Qin Xiaomi was very supportive of them doing all sorts of strange experiments.

Upon hearing this, the young, middle-aged, and elderly craftsmen were itching to get their hands dirty and couldn't wait to grab the materials and start making a new type of fire starter by hand.

dong dong dong, dong dong dong!
War drums thundered, and the messengers of Fan Zhen's two thousand households were already shouting: "All soldiers, assemble! Follow the highest military banner! Head to Dongfu Town! Objective: Sweep away the enemy forces hiding in Dongfu Town! Set off!!"

"Oh dear, we have to get going!" Master Gong and his men hurriedly tied up their bags of sharp tools, picked up their equipment, and bid farewell to the Qin family: "Old Commander Qin, Master Qin, we're off to work. We'll definitely find those enemy soldiers who are like rats, so that the sharp tools you gave us won't be wasted!"

"Yes, they dug tunnels to hide right under our noses, they really don't take us seriously!"

"Let's find the enemy's rats and restore the reputation of our Great Wei's craftsmen!"

Ah, the craftsmen are also very passionate.

"A triumphant return!" said Grandpa Qin and Qin Xiaomi.

"We're leaving too!" Aunt Wen and her son, Ahei and Aling, led a thousand-strong elite weapon squad; Ye Xifen and Shanshan, the leader, led their fully armored female guards, riding their horses to assemble under the army flag.

Uncle Qin and Jiang Erlang stayed close to the Qin family grandfather and grandson, fearing that the rebellious grandfather and grandson would sneak off to Dongfu Town again when the army set off.

dong dong dong, dong dong dong!
The drums beat rapidly, and in no time, the soldiers from all battalions and branches of the armed forces had assembled.

"Set off, enter the town, and wipe out the enemy!" shouted Commanders Fan and Zhen.

Da da da da da!
The sound of horses' hooves echoed as scouts and vanguard troops rode into Dongfu Town. Following the locations the scouts had previously discovered where the enemy might be hiding, they headed straight for several houses in the town center, slightly southwest of it.

All that could be seen was ruins; the houses in this area had been destroyed by the firestone.

However, the enemy was cunning and might be hiding behind the ruins, so the Wei army launched a long-range attack before even getting close to the house ruins.

No matter how you hide, the bombardment will still create some noise!

"Prepare the small throwing vehicles!" shouted Lu Baihu, the vanguard commander under Zhen Qianhu.

Bang bang bang, three small throwing devices, each about the size of a coffee table, were moved down, secured, and their throwing positions were set.

Set off the gunpowder pack.

Light three fuses soaked in tung oil... Once lit, the fuses soaked in tung oil are not easily extinguished even in strong winds, but they are still afraid of going out, so three fuses were made.

With a sizzling sound, after the fuse had burned a palm's length, reaching the standard that it would explode within one or two seconds of landing.

"Throw!"

Whoosh whoosh!
Boom boom boom boom!

The gunpowder pack exploded upon landing. Although it lacked the shock of a meteorite impact, its power was astonishing, directly damaging everything within a ten-meter radius of the pack.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Screams erupted from the ruins, and severed limbs flew everywhere, leaving the vanguard Wei soldiers stunned... A single strike? We're incredibly lucky!

"Continue to throw gunpowder packs to kill the enemy; shield bearers form a battle formation to block the enemy's long-range attacks; archers fire arrows to kill the enemy; messengers fire command arrows to inform the sweeping Wei army that there is an enemy and they should come quickly!" Commander Lü hurriedly issued several military orders.

Whoosh whoosh!
Boom boom boom boom!

whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Whoosh!

The sounds of gunpowder exploding, arrows piercing the air, and command arrows exploding all rang out simultaneously. All the Wei soldiers who had entered Dongfu Town saw this and rushed towards this direction.

west Yuerduo and his group had barely emerged from the tunnel when they were bombarded by Liang Weitian's powerful weapons, throwing them into disarray.

"The ground is dangerous. We should retreat back into the tunnels and discuss this further!" suggested the officer of the thousand soldiers on Xiyuerduo's side.

But Xi'adan, a subordinate of Xiduo, disagreed. He raised his sword and ordered, "The weak and cowardly Liangwei people have never been a match for our divine heroes. Form ranks and advance towards the Liangwei soldiers. Charge into the Liangwei army's formation and fight them with your swords. Dissect them alive! Let them remember the fear of being dissected alive by our Eastern Desert heroes for generations to come!"

"We have 3,500 soldiers, how could we be afraid of these lowly Liang Wei? Remember, they are nothing but our food. How can a person be afraid of food? Charge out and devour the Liang Wei!"

Xi Adan's shouts provoked the ferocity of the Eastern Desert soldiers. They quickly formed a shield formation, pushed it forward, and trampled over the corpses of the Eastern Desert soldiers who had been killed in the explosion, charging out of the ruins and toward the Wei army's arsenal.

Xiyuerduo couldn't be too cowardly, so he gritted his teeth and led his troops to follow.

Swoosh! ...
Before they could even get a clear look at the Wei army's forces, the Dongmo soldiers launched a long-range attack, unleashing a volley of poisoned arrows.

Unfortunately, the Wei soldiers were already on guard against them. They had applied antidote and, upon hearing the loud noise, quickly retreated, moving out of range.

"A large enemy force, three thousand strong! Unleash your weapons, don't hold back!" Commander Lü shouted. This time, they really couldn't hold back, or they would be chopped into mincemeat by the enemy in the blink of an eye.
