The imaginary explosion did not appear again, but Gouzi was still not at ease.
Slowly sliding down the hillside, he lit the hidden fuse again. After waiting for a while, no more noise was heard, and then he was sure that all the gunpowder had been released in the explosion.
"Master Hou, everything is okay, but are you sure you want to go down and take a look?"
When Gouzi ran to Xiao Han again, his expression was very strange when he said this.
Xiao Han glanced at Gouzi and nodded slowly. He knew that the battlefield below must be very bloody, but as a general, he had no reason to avoid it.
He led everyone down the mountain and carefully walked out of the valley.
Oncoming was the pervasive smell of gunpowder smoke, and the thick smell of blood that seemed to be irreversible.
Liu Hongji once said to Xiao Han that human blood has the strongest smell and will not dissipate for a long time! So some generals can tell whether a war has occurred somewhere with just one sniff!
At that time, Xiao Han didn't take it seriously and even laughed at Liu Hongji. Do all generals have dog noses?
But it wasn't until he stood here that he realized that what Liu Hongji had said was true!
It's pitch black in front of you!
Those scattered sparks had long been extinguished, and Gouzi found torches from somewhere and distributed them to everyone.
"Pa bang..."
The sound of flint knocking was particularly harsh in this dead space, and sparks popped up in the air from time to time, adding a bit of mystery to the place.
The people of the New Fire Guards were never allowed to carry torches, so they all had good skills in breaking flint. In addition, the torches were dipped in oil in advance. In just a few strokes, the first torch was already lit.
"Is this? Ugh..."
As soon as the dim fire light came on, someone next to Xiao Han screamed, and then there was the sound of vomiting.
"Light all the torches, look out, don't look at those things!" Lao Qiu's face didn't look good either, but after all, he was well-informed and could still do it at this time.
Calm command.
The torches were lit one after another, and the surrounding scenery became clearer little by little.
What kind of scene is this in front of us? I guess even the Asura Hell is nothing more than this!
Broken human bones were scattered everywhere on the charred land, some of which had been twisted out of shape, just like a ball of rotten meat, lying there haphazardly.
In addition, there is blood! Countless blood! The bloody smell that is so rich that it is almost indissoluble is emitted by them.
Facing this scene, Xiao Han only glanced around and felt his temples beating suddenly.
He didn't dare to look any further, so he could only stare at the darkness in front of him and said: "Keep going forward!"
Covering your mouth and nose with your sleeves, A and a few of the most skilled men walked in front with torches to prevent any danger in the darkness.
In fact, everyone knows that doing so is in vain! The hell-like scene in front of us, let alone the possibility of any living people. Even if there were, they should have been so frightened that they didn't know how to run away, and they would never dare to stay here any longer.
The power of gunpowder is too great. Just look at the effect this time. It is more than twice or twice as powerful as what Xiao Han made at the beginning.
The two research institutes in the north and south have now gathered hundreds of master craftsmen to concentrate on developing gunpowder, which is naturally a hundred times better than Xiao Han's half-baked knowledge!
The gunpowder used by Gouzi today is screened at every step starting from the raw materials. If there is any mistake, it will be discarded immediately. It is so harsh that it has such an effect as if the earth is shattering.
For example: the charcoal that Xiao Han used before was just ordinary charcoal, but now it has been changed to high-quality willow charcoal wood, and he only uses a piece as thick as his finger!
The raw sulfur used in the past now has to be melted, screened, gasified, and finally condensed to obtain less than half of the original pure sulfur!
In addition, after undergoing three heat and three cold treatments, it was finally analyzed that it was all translucent saltpeter!
These refined raw materials were subjected to countless experiments by craftsmen to find the best ratio! Finally, they relied on manual labor, wooden shovels and wooden grinders to make them into rice-sized particles instead of a pile of black matter.
Huge powder.
Such fifty-four processes are used to process these black gunpowder step by step into products that are the pinnacle of existing technology!
Not to mention that when Gouzi came here, in order to further increase their power, he also tied countless iron sand and iron caltrops outside!
Only one bucket of this kind of thing is needed. Once it explodes, everything within a radius of ten feet will be pure. However, if it is fifty feet away, it will still be lethal! In order to succeed with one blow, Gouzi buried something on this piece of land.
How many barrels!
Step by step, I walked towards the open space where the thieves had originally set up camp. From time to time, I stepped on something soft and slippery under my feet!
However, Xiao Han resisted not looking down! He still strode behind Jiayi.
As for Wang Wu, who was beside him just now, his face was already pale and his legs were weak.
Not to mention Xiao Dao, who is already short and thin, he has vomited three times. He has vomited all the dry biscuits he ate in a day. What he vomited out now is clear water with traces of green bitter bile!
I don’t know how long I walked, but I was already at the center of the explosion!
The large piece of flat land that was originally used by the thieves to light a fire had long since disappeared, and was replaced by a large, dark pit with the smell of smoke and fire.
Countless blood seemed to have poured over the edge of the pit, but strangely, no broken limbs could be seen.
Xiao Han knew that this was because the impact of the explosion was too great, pushing all those people's bodies to the outside.
Or, even more tragically, it could be vaporized directly in the explosion and become a real corpse!
"Look around...see if anyone is alive!" After waving his hand, Xiao Han turned his head, not daring to look at this hellish scene!
Although he no longer has any burden in his heart about killing people, or killing those who deserve to be killed, but facing such a cruel side, he still feels uncomfortable in his heart.
"Here!"
After hearing Xiao Han's order, the new fire guards responded and dispersed.
Seeing this, the helpless and sallow-faced rangers also hurriedly ran away with the New Fire Guards!
It’s not that they haven’t seen blood, some of them still hold one or two unknown lives in their hands!
But like now, three thousand people were wiped out in an instant. In their most absurd dreams, they never thought of it like this!
"Fat brother, fat brother! Slow down, wait for me!" Wang Wu dragged the already exhausted knife and trotted to catch up with the fat man in front of him. He was about to catch up, but unexpectedly, he seemed to be tripped by something on his feet and almost missed it.
He fell headlong to the ground.
"What the hell!"
Subconsciously, he looked back at the thing that tripped him. When he realized that it was a piece of colorful intestine, Wang Wu's face instantly turned green, and then he ignored the knife, covered his mouth, and ran out as if running away.
