I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 217 Bomb

Because the corpses piled under the city wall were soaked in oil and would burn immediately when exposed to fire, they temporarily formed a wall of fire to block the enemy.

The soldiers on the city wall finally understood what the dirt was for: it was to prevent the fire from spreading to the city wall.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

Because it was getting light, many people in the city could come to help, and they could also have a rest.

"Auntie Wang, you should go and have a rest." Ouyang Shulingyao and others advised again.

Wang Yu'er shook her head, her eyes red, "No, I have to guard it for Yue'er."

"But your body won't be able to bear it like this." The speaker was the young assistant beside Wang Yu'er.

"That's all right. I can handle it."

Everyone tried to persuade him to no avail, and they couldn't help but become worried.

"Auntie Wang, go and have some rest." A familiar voice sounded from behind.

Everyone turned around and saw Yunyue walking towards them with big strides.

“Yue’er!!”

“Yun Yue!!”

"Mr. Yue!! Mr. Yue is back!! Mr. Yue is back!!!"

The soldiers and civilians on the city wall cheered.

Yunyue walked over and held Wang Yu'er's hand, saying distressedly, "Auntie Wang, go and have a rest. Leave this to me."

Wang Yu'er finally smiled: "Okay, then I'll go to sleep." Yue'er is back, so everything will be fine.

The young assistant helped Wang Yu'er down from the city wall.

"Master Yue, is Prince Rong coming?"

"Master Yue, we are alright, right?"

The people and soldiers asked one after another.

Yunyue took the speaker and said, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work. You have protected our common home."

"Prince Rong and my father are on their way. They will be here in three days at most. Are you willing to stick with me for another three days?!"

"willing!!!"

"willing!!!"

"willing!!!"

The people were no longer afraid, they believed in Yunyue without a doubt. After all, Yunyue had fulfilled all her promises since she took over Chengnan Prefecture.

Their Prince Yue is the most powerful man in the world!

They were able to hold out for a day and a night when Young Master Yue was not around. Now that Young Master Yue is back, they are naturally more confident.

Three days, just three days, and the reinforcements will arrive.

Yunyue's arrival and the news she brought back made the soldiers and civilians excited.

Last night’s fatigue and worries seemed to be gone.

"Old Zhang, I leave this to you. I will go back to the mansion and bring back some magic weapons for defending the city."

Zhang Yuankai's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

Yunyue took Lingyao down the city wall and walked towards the mansion.

On the way, Lingyao told Yunyue about Aunt Wang's arrangements and the current situation in the city.

"Auntie Wang is amazing." Yun Yue sighed. It's true that having an old person in the family is like having a treasure.

On the way back to the mansion, the two met many people. The people were so happy to see Yunyue coming back that they danced with joy and greeted her one after another.

Now that Young Master Yue is back, the city will definitely be safe. They just need to honestly complete the tasks assigned by the government.

In this way, when we win, we can point at the city and brag to our children: Look, this city was defended by dad and mom and Young Master Yue and the others together!

After Yunyue returned to the mansion, she immediately entered the space and exchanged some cheap bombs.

She could actually exchange for more powerful weapons and equipment, but now that she has been noticed by Prime Minister Liu, she cannot show it too much.

The most important thing is to use the merit points sparingly. She always had a feeling that these merit points would be very useful. Very important...

That strong feeling forced Yunyue to take it seriously.

So I just exchanged some explosive packs.

"Lingyao, I remember Qianhu had several smaller catapults, right?"

"Yes, Captain Zhang has already brought it over."

"Okay, then come with me and take these treasures to the city wall!!"

The two men filled boxes with explosives and had people carry them up to the city wall.

"Old Zhang, are there any soldiers who are good at using catapults?" Yun Yue called Zhang Yuankai.

"Have."

"Lend me a few, and bring the catapults, so I can give some gifts to the enemy."

Soon, the catapults and the soldiers using them were sent over.

Yunyue took out a pack of explosives from the box and asked them to feel it one by one.

"This weight is much lighter than a rock. Are you sure you can throw it into the enemy's crowd?"

Wu Erniu was the best at throwing stones. He weighed the thing he had never seen before in his hand and said confidently, "Master Yue, no problem!"

Yun Yue said seriously: "You must throw it accurately, there must be no mistakes. If something goes wrong and it falls at our feet, it will be a disaster!"

When everyone saw that Yunyue was talking so seriously, they all put away their smiles and started adjusting the angle and distance of the catapult.

An hour later, the fire under the city wall was extinguished.

Yunyue stuck her head out and saw that the corpses below had been burned to charcoal and ashes.

Yun Yue sighed in her heart, these people are also pitiful people. In this era, the conscription system and the hereditary military system were adopted.

Conscription required men of appropriate age to serve in the military, and was usually enforced by the imperial court and local governments.

The hereditary military system, also known as the military household system, is a system that registers soldiers and their families in the military and makes them soldiers for generations. Male men serve as soldiers for life, and the son inherits the title after the father's death, and the younger brother inherits the title after the elder brother's death.

No matter which one it is, it is actually coercion, forcing the people to work for the court.

After being exploited at every level, the soldiers' wages are reduced to just a small amount of silver.

If you unfortunately die in battle, luckily your family can get a few taels of pension.

Otherwise, dead is dead.

Their surviving families still had to endure heavy corvee labor and heavy taxes...

"Everything will change..." Yun Yue murmured, as if she was talking to the corpses under the city wall, or as if she was talking to herself.

"Attack! We must take it today! If we don't, no one will live!" Prefect Yang put away the secret letter he had just received and gave the order.

The enemy soldiers were also angered by the Chengnan Prefecture's shady tactics.

With 20,000 of them, they couldn't even take over the small Chengnan Prefecture, and so many of their brothers died. The soldiers were all very angry.

"Master Yue, aren't you going to surrender yet?" Wu Erniu asked anxiously as he looked at the army rushing over.

"Try throwing one first. When I say throw, you must throw immediately!!" After Yun Yue emphasized again and again, he took out a lighter and lit the fuse.

“Throw it!!! Throw it quickly!!!” Yunyue was also scared. She was from a good family! How could she have played with this thing before! She was well-informed to know a few guns! Playing with bombs? Don’t be ridiculous! How many young people in China have seen this thing?

Following Yunyue's order, the catapult started, and the explosive pack drew an arc in the air and fell into the crowd of enemies.

But no sound came.

Yunyue was a little puzzled. Could it be that the explosive pack had gotten damp? This shouldn't be the case. How could there be defective items in the system exchange?

The enemy was also confused at this time. They thought that what fell from the opposite side was a rock, but it turned out that thing didn't even make a hole when it fell to the ground.

"Hahahahaha, the enemy thinks this thing is a stone? Who has ever thrown a quilt..."

“Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!” A loud noise interrupted the man’s words and also shattered him.

Dozens of people around him were shattered like him, and some flew away...

"This...what is this?" Zhang Yuankai opened his mouth stiffly and turned to look at Yunyue.

The soldier who had been holding the explosive pack and examining it just now sat down on the ground, looking at the explosive pack in the box with panic in his eyes.

Wu Erniu was even more trembling. He finally understood why Yun Yue said that if he fell at their feet, it would be a big disaster. How could this be a big disaster? This was a matter of life and death!!!

"This is a new thing made when making fireworks." Yunyue answered calmly.

At this time, Magistrate Yang and others were frightened by the loud noise and fell off their chairs.

Prefect Yang leaned his head out to look at the sky: "What happened? Thunder in broad daylight? It's not raining!"

The guard at the door pointed to the distance, his eyes full of fear: "Sir... it's not thunder, it's thunder punishment!! It's thunder punishment!!!"

Prefect Yang used the fan in his hand to hit him hard on the head and said angrily: "Lei Fa's head!!! Don't disturb the morale of the army!! "

"Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Another loud noise, this time it was closer to him.

Prefect Yang was so frightened that he trembled and something hit him on the head.

Prefect Yang raised his hand and took it down. It was a piece of meat, still warm...

"It's broken, the man was struck to pieces by lightning..." The guards retreated in fear.
