Chapter 487 The Way to Defeat the Enemy

Li Yu said: "It is not difficult to make mice carry epidemics! In Huaishan, did the Xifan army lose more than 100,000 people? After they brought back these corpses, they did not bury them on the spot, but dug out a huge pit, discarded the corpses inside, and let them rot and smelly. After ten days and half a month, these corpses will develop epidemics, and then throw the rats in and let the rats eat the corpses. In this way, these rats will also be infected!"

This is the most primitive biological and chemical weapon used by humans during ancient wars.

When the Mongols swept across the Eurasian continent, they used this trick a lot.

But the Mongols were even more cruel. They threw rotten corpses carrying plagues directly into the city.

After Li Yu finished saying this, everyone present had cold sweat on their foreheads.

It is too cruel and poisonous to use the corpse of the comrades who died in battle to breed epidemics first, and then use mice to spread the epidemics.

Can the people of Xifan do this?

Seeing the disbelief on everyone's faces, Li Yu immediately added: "Just just now, the flying guards came to report that the Xifan Army is sending a large number of troops to various places to capture mice!"

One sentence made everyone shudder.

Could it be that your highness’s guess is true?

The people of Xifan really plan to use the epidemic to break the city?

Shen Fang's eyes flashed.

He also felt that Li Yu’s statement was too incredible and too vicious.

But he had to admit that this was indeed a good strategy to overcome difficulties.

If the people of Xifan really did this and were unprepared, Huaian City would be destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city would probably not be able to survive in the end.

Shen Fang said: "I believe in Your Highness's speculation! Life and death, it is better to believe that there is than to believe that there is nothing! We must stop the Xifan army from building high platforms outside the city!"

People looked out of the city with their eyes.

This high platform covers a huge area, so how easy is it to destroy it?

Li Yu said: "It is not enough to just destroy this platform. We must destroy the corpse pit of the Xifan people!"

"Corpsy pit?"

"The purpose of the corpse pit is to breed epidemics. They will definitely not be set up in their camp, they must be hidden somewhere outside the camp!"

Li Yu said to the Jinwu beside him: "Come Manying here!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Manying is not in Huaian City now, and the one who Jinwu found Guan Hou.

Guan Hou is considered the second-ranked figure among the Shadow Guard.

When he saw Li Yu, he immediately intervened and bowed, saying respectfully: "Your Highness!"

Li Yu asked: "Guanhou, do you know where the Xifan army moved the bodies of the fallen soldiers who died in Huaishan?"

Guan Hou was stunned for a moment, and bowed and said, "Report to Your Highness, the Xifan Army has moved all the bodies back to the Yuanda Camp!"

The so-called Yuandaying is the first camp built by the Xifan Army, five miles away from Huaian City.

Li Yu felt thoughtful when he heard this.

The Xifan Army camp moved forward, and he thought that the original Xifan Army camp was abandoned. Now, it may not be.

Li Yu murmured meaningfully: "It seems that we have to find a way to get into the original camp of the Xifan Army and go inside to explore it."

If there is no corpse pit inside, it is naturally the best.

If there is really a corpse pit, then it can only prove that Li Yu’s guess is correct. The people of the Zufan are indeed using the idea of ​​using biological and chemical weapons.

As for how to destroy the platform built by the people of the Xifan City outside the city, the easiest and most convenient way that Li Yu could think of was to use gunpowder!

Just a dozen barrels of gunpowder were buried, which was enough to destroy the high platform built by the people of the Xifan.

As for where the gunpowder came from, Li Yu immediately thought of Lu Fang.

How does gunpowder come about?

It’s just the alchemy from the sorcerer!

Lu Fang is a master of alchemy, so it is not difficult for Lu Fang to create gunpowder.

Li Yu returned to his mansion and immediately called Lu Fang and asked, "Can the real person help me make a batch of gunpowder?"

Lu Fang was confused when he heard this, looked at Li Yu with a blank look and asked, "Gunpowder?

What is this?"

No way?

Isn’t Lu Fang unaware of gunpowder?

Li Yu thought about it and carefully recalled the ancient name of Gunpowder.

After a moment, his eyes lit up and said, "It's the fire!"

"oh!"

When Lu Fang heard the word "Fuhuo", he immediately understood. He said oh, and asked with a smile: "How much fire does Your Highness want me to create?"

“The more, the better!”

After a moment of pause, Li Yu asked again: "Can the real person make some first, let me see!"

Lu Fang nodded and turned to his elixir room.

Li Yu also followed.

In this era, the warlock did create gunpowder, but the gunpowder in this era was very rough.

Li Yu was by his side, watching carefully how Lu Fang made gunpowder.

I saw Lu Fang first took out the same weight of sulfur and saltpeter and ground them into powder.

Then, take out some beans and continue grinding. Then, mix the three powders together, and then bake in a dan stove.

Not long after, Lu Fang took out the dried powder and handed it to Li Yu, saying, "Your Highness, this is the fire of fire!"

This is not right!

This is not the recipe for gunpowder!

One sulfur, dinitro and three charcoal are the formulas learned in middle school chemistry.

Lu Fang was wrong to use the same amount of sulfur and saltpeter. He didn't add charcoal yet, but added... beans?

Li Yu looked at the piece of powder spread on the paper and asked, "Real person, can this... this thing explode?"

"explode?"

Lu Fang shook his head and said, "It can burn!"

As he spoke, Lu Fang took out the fire fold and lit the paper under the powder.

When the paper burns the powder, the powder burns, and vaguely, you can see tiny sparks popping out from it.

This is not gunpowder?

The gunpowder was caught in the fire and burned in an instant.

It's not like this thing, it's a little burning for you.

Li Yu sighed secretly. Even if this thing is filled with a large bucket and ignite it, it will not explode, right?

Seeing Li Yuchang sighing, Lu Fang asked in confusion: "The gunpowder you mentioned is not this kind of subduing fire?"

Li Yu shook his head.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Real person, the formula of gunpowder is 1 sulfide, 2 nitride and 3 charcoal! Why are you... still adding beans to it?"

Lu Fang blinked, grabbed a handful of black beans, and said, "Your Highness, this is a soap croaker!"

After a moment of pause, he changed his tone and murmured again: "One sulfur, two nitrogen and three charcoal..."

After thinking carefully for a moment, Lu Fang immediately took action and said, "Your Highness waited for a moment!"

Lu Fang took out two pieces of charcoal from the wooden box next to the furnace.

Then, he followed the mantra that Li Yu said, grinding sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal into powder and mixing them together.

Afterwards, Lu Fang wrapped it in paper and baked it in a dan stove.

Li Yu was startled and quickly stopped Lu Fang.

He grinned secretly, "Real man, do you want to blow us all to death?"
