Chapter 727 Zhuge Gongjin, the God of War Xinnan
Chapter 727 Zhuge Gongjin, the God of War Xinnan
The gunpowder produced by Liu Huiniang and even the Mo family now is significantly less powerful than that produced during that period.
We are still far behind in terms of gunpowder formula and technology.
Even so, these seemingly ingenious devices contain endless wisdom and painstaking effort.
More importantly, the power they are now demonstrating is enough to dramatically change the situation on the battlefield.
"Miss Liu, these mechanical creations are truly masterpieces! If they could be used on the battlefield, they would surely help me decisively defeat the enemy!"
Wu Qi said excitedly, his tone revealing his admiration for Liu Huiniang.
"General Wu, you flatter me. Hui Niang only has a superficial understanding of mechanisms. The real battles on the battlefield will require the joint efforts of the general and all the soldiers to achieve great things."
Dressed in plain clothes, Liu Huiniang smiled modestly and waved her hand.
Upon hearing this, Wu Qi's trust in Liu Huiniang became even stronger, since a talent like Liu Huiniang is rare and hard to come by.
Since they had made it so clear, Wu Qi, who was not one to hesitate, immediately ordered his soldiers to fully cooperate with Liu Huiniang in making these three types of mechanical artifacts, and personally supervised the process to ensure that every step was flawless.
At the same time, Wu Qi also urgently contacted the Luo Wang members who were still in Wuzhou, and through Luo Wang, he urgently mobilized the Mo family disciples near Wuzhou to come and provide support.
Most of the Mohist disciples are skilled in mechanical arts. With their participation, the production process will be greatly accelerated and the quality of mechanical creations will be improved.
In the days that followed, the Hengzhou Army's vanguard camp was bustling with activity yet orderly.
Liu Huiniang led many Mohist disciples, working day and night, their hurried figures moving back and forth in the brightly lit camp.
Wu Qi often personally went to the site to supervise the production of these battlefield weapons.
As time went on, batches of flying thunderbolts, steel wheel fire cabinets, and underwater rapid-fire cannons were produced and carefully deployed in various key positions on the battlefield.
...
Meanwhile, on a training ground inside Tianheng Prefecture, the morning mist was just beginning to dissipate, and sunlight shone through the thin clouds onto the land.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, who were standing in the middle of the field, were ready to go.
Because of the urgent need to support Wuzhou, the two did not choose to make a large-scale deployment. Instead, they decided to travel light and arrive in Wuzhou as quickly as possible, striving to stabilize the situation and turn the tide in the shortest possible time.
Zhuge Liang wore a light blue scholar's robe and a turban, with a feather fan gently waving. His brows revealed a sense of composure that transcended worldly affairs. Although his attire was simple, it could not conceal the refined and elegant air that emanated from within, as if he could strategize and win battles at any time.
On the other side, Zhou Yu was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, with a sword at his waist. He was dashing and heroic, with eyebrows like swords and eyes like bright stars. Every move he made showed the demeanor of a great general.
The two stood side by side, one a scholar and the other a warrior, complementing each other perfectly, as if they were a match made in heaven.
Beside them stood Sun Liuer, the Six-Eared Macaque, and Sun Wukong, the Spiritual Stone Monkey, both currently idle in Hengzhou.
Sun Liuer was dressed in a green robe and armor, with a handsome face and sharp hearing and eyesight. Sun Wukong, on the other hand, was still the same as before, wearing a golden chainmail armor, a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, and lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes. His unruly nature, which came from his bones, was still hard to hide.
Of course, what's even more eye-catching is the Giants Group not far from them. Several giants stand like peaks, exuding a majestic aura. They are Wu Wenhua, Ju Wuba, Ruan Zhongweng, Xiong Pi, and others from Su Ye's Giants Group.
Each one was over ten feet tall, with bulging muscles, like a giant who had stepped out of an ancient myth. They wore heavy armor, held huge weapons, and every step they took made the ground tremble slightly. The oppressive feeling from their size and strength was enough to make some ordinary soldiers tremble with fear.
In particular, Wu Wenhua, Ju Wuba, and Xiong Pi exuded the aura of war gods, and their massive weapons, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight, seemed capable of shattering mountains and rivers with a single blow.
The existence of these giants not only gives people a visual shock, but also a psychological oppression, making people feel fear involuntarily.
Around them were ten warriors clad in five-colored armor, the first and second teams of Su Ye's Five Elements Armor. The armor was imbued with the power of the five elements, its colors vibrant and radiant.
However, unlike before, Li Xinnan, who is now the de facto leader among the ten, is exuding a war god-level pressure!
It's quite obvious that the War God Promotion Card that Su Ye bought in the store was most likely used on Li Xinnan.
Originally, Li Xinnan, who was at the peak of the Divine General realm, was able to go toe-to-toe with ordinary War Gods when his combo skills were enhanced.
Even after using the Fire and Earth Flame, it was enough to make some war gods flee in terror.
Even after using the Fire and Earth Flame, it was enough to make some war gods flee in terror.
Now that Li Xinnan has been promoted to the God of War, if those Gods of War with a base weapon level of 106 or 107 were surrounded by him and four other Five Elements Armored warriors and activated their combination skills, it would be a question whether they could escape!
Finally, there was a silent, pitch-black army standing quietly behind them!
This army is divided into heavy cavalry and light cavalry, each with its own unique charm and terrifying combat power.
The heavy cavalry were covered in thick iron armor, and even their warhorses were no exception, making them look like mobile steel fortresses.
The warhorse was robust, with bulging muscles and steady hooves; every step it took seemed capable of shattering mountains and rivers.
Meanwhile, the light cavalry, clad in light armor and nimble in form, wielded spears or carried bows and arrows, darting nimbly across the battlefield like phantoms, delivering fatal blows to their enemies.
When these two teams march side by side, the oppressive force emanating from within is enough to strike fear into the hearts of any enemy.
It was none other than the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, one of the few elite Daoist soldiers under Su Ye's command!
The helmets of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are forged from fine iron and covered with delicate scales, layer upon layer like scales, making them both beautiful and practical.
The most eye-catching feature is the beast ornament inlaid on the top of the helmet—either a tiger's head with wide-open, angry eyes and bared fangs, or a leopard's head with sharp eyes and a slightly wrinkled nose, as if ready to pounce at any moment.
These animal heads are exquisitely carved using the gold and silver inlay technique. The helmets also have ear guards on both sides, shaped like animal ears, which not only protect the warriors' hearing but also further enhance their beast-like image.
The armor employs a composite design, with a soft leather inner layer and a hard iron plate outer layer, connected by precise hinges, ensuring both flexibility and protection.
The armor is also engraved with tiger and leopard patterns, echoing the helmet. Each piece of iron seems to contain the power and speed of a beast, making the wearer feel as if they are one with these kings of the jungle.
