Cold sweat broke out on General Wang's forehead and dripped down his temples, but he did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it. "You said... attack with all your strength..."
"Oh?" King Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly and pointed at the general kneeling in front of him, "Is this how you try your best?"
Everyone, including Wang Zheng, lowered their heads.
They didn't need King Zhao to tell them, but they knew that as they were now, almost everyone was wearing a full beard. How could they look like they were fighting with all their strength?
"Wang Zheng, do you still remember why I gave you the name 'Zheng'?" King Zhao's tone became gentle again, "You have disappointed me so much."
Wang Zheng raised his head suddenly and looked at him blankly.
Yes, when the prince gave him the name "Zheng", wasn't it because he dared to fight and kill more than others?
The prince hopes that he can come back from fighting for the prince!
"I feel guilty, please punish me!" Wang Zhengchang knelt on the ground, but his back was straight.
The other generals all looked at Wang Zheng with their peripheral vision.
King Zhao's eyes were dark, and no one knew what he was thinking at this time.
The night was as cold as water, and the mist shrouded the entire Lanjiang River. The occasional night breeze made the generals kneeling on the deck shiver involuntarily.
Someone plucked up the courage to look at King Zhao with their peripheral vision, only to find that his face was a little blurry in the night and his expression could not be clearly seen.
I don’t know how long it took, but King Zhao suddenly stood up and strode forward. At the same time, he said, "In two hours, I want to see you really trying your best!"
Everyone was shocked and looked at each other in astonishment: The prince actually wanted to personally supervise the battle!
This is a precedent that has never been seen in King Zhao's army!
Wang Zheng had mixed feelings in his heart. The prince personally supervised the battle. It didn't take much thinking to know that this meant how much the prince attached importance to this battle!
He took a deep breath and shouted: "All soldiers, listen to the order! In two hours, we will capture Lanjiangkou!"
…
At the same time, except for the patrol soldiers, most of the people in the Northern Hubei Army had fallen asleep.
Shengze learned that Shen Xiao was in the army and immediately came over.
The two of them were not in the tent, so they chose a corner, lit a bonfire, and each held a water bag and talked.
"I saw the military thorn developed by Brother Shen. It's really good." Sheng Ze gave Shen Xiao a thumbs up.
Shen Xiao said humbly: "Everywhere, it's all thanks to Mr. Qin, I'm just helping."
Shengze knew who he was, so he didn't dwell on this topic much, and instead talked about the research and development of gunpowder.
"Originally, the general sent someone to invite Mr. Qin and you to come over. I didn't expect you to come over first. Then we can start some preparations first..." Shengze briefly explained the basic formula of gunpowder.
Shen Xiao frowned more and more as he listened, "Cheng Sandi, can such a weapon really be made? Will it hurt one of our own people first when used?"
"Brother Shen, don't worry. There are conditions for the use of this thing. As long as you are careful, it is still very safe." Shengze explained.
Shen Xiao was silent for a moment and shook his head, "I'm not good at this. Why don't you ask Mr. Qin to take care of it? I can help him."
It's not that he doesn't appreciate it, it's that he feels that the risk of this matter is relatively high. Considering the Shen family's current situation, playing it safe is the best choice.
Shengze chuckled, "Brother Shen, don't worry. I have several gunpowder formulas here. They have been verified by my master and senior brothers. They will not put you in danger."
He was well aware of Shen Xiao's calm and reserved temperament, and never thought that he would agree immediately.
After all, if you do this kind of thing well, it is a merit. If you fail, you will lose your head.
What's more, now that the Shen family is ashamed in front of Sheng Zhan, even if they have merit, they may not be rewarded.
But Shengze has his own plan, and the Shen family must be involved in this matter.
"This..." Shen Xiao hesitated.
