Helian Manqiu asked for a piece of charcoal and a piece of paper. She asked the craftsmen to dismantle the stone-throwing machine. From time to time, she would stop to take a look and draw something on the paper.

On one side was the person who had dismantled the catapult, and on the other was the person who had delivered the gunpowder and firecrackers.

Helian Manqiu quietly instructed the people who made gunpowder and firecrackers on how to operate them. She asked them to first try out what they wanted and see how it worked.

"Young General, what do you think about the few things you mentioned before?"

Tao Zheng brought over nailing board, nailing stick, made lime water and other things to let her check if it was up to standard.

"What do you think of these items?"

The generals gave him a thumbs up, "The young general's wits are unparalleled, he is worthy of being the backer of the family of generals."

A wry smile curled up on her lips. Her knowledge and methods were all thanks to the military academy's training. Military academy's top student, special forces officer, if placed in the ancient era, the possibility of her becoming a famous general was still very high.

"Mix the lime and the clay gravel together and make the shape. You can also wrap the chain around it and it will be a simple thistle hammer. Those who join the chains can be used back and forth. Those who do not join the chains can also be used to throw them.

He lowered his head to look at the map in Helian Manqiu's hand. There was a circular ball drawn on the paper. However, there were many spikes protruding from its surroundings. The ball was shaped like a mace and was round in appearance.

"Tribulus hammer?"

"I call this thing the Tremor Hammer. What do you think? The production process was simple, but it could be big or small. Its lethality was not inferior to a rolling stone, but the materials were easy to obtain and the production speed was also fast. The chains were insufficient and could be tied with ropes to facilitate recovery. It's fine if it's broken, but you can use it for a new weapon, so you don't have to worry about not having any defensive weapons. "

"Such a vicious thing. This is much more ruthless than rolling stones. Let's just call it Helian Tribulations Hammer."

"Young General, how about the things you requested? We have already made a few of them. What do you think?"

The person from the firecracker shop walked over, bowed respectfully and brought the completed product over.

Both ends of the bamboo tube, which was as thick as an arm, were glued together with clay. There were no gaps, and there were even leads. It looked more like a large firecracker.

"What's the use?"

"Tao Zheng, take this thing to the half of the broken house, light it up and throw it inside, then run away to see how it works."

"Understood."

"Rumble …"

A huge sound rang out. Half of the house was already shaking from the storm earlier, and now that it was blown up by this simple detonator, there was no way it could hold on any longer. It finally passed away.

"Carry me over and take a look."

The dust had dispersed, and the collapsed wood and bricks were speckled with sunken spots.

"The problem with the formula isn't too big. Although it's a bit simple, it's still quite effective."

The generals and everyone else stopped what they were doing and stared dumbstruck at the perpetrator, Helian Manqiu.

"What is that?" Was it divine thunder? Thunderbolt? "

"Heavens, this is too terrifying. Like a thunderbolt, that house collapsed in the blink of an eye?"

"What is the reason? What just happened? "

Everyone was puzzled as they looked at the collapsed room. The half of the room that was originally on the verge of collapse had now turned into a perfectly fine room in their mouths. They had never seen such a powerful weapon before, yet they still felt a chill in their hearts.

"Great!"

After a long while, Tao Zheng finally said in a low voice, and then he shouted: "Great, young general is mighty!"

"Young General is mighty!"

Words came out of everyone's mouth. In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Young General Helian Qingyu's reputation had spread like wildfire. Everyone was brimming with fighting spirit.

The lights lit up. They had rushed through the night to make the defensive weapon provided by Helian Manqiu. Because of the simple detonator, the crowd was excited. It was as if they could see hope in the young general's clever plans today.

Helian Manqiu suddenly became alarmed. She remembered something and called over Tao Zheng and the other generals, "Has there been any big movements at the east gate?"

"Yes."

Helian Manqiu narrowed her eyes and looked towards the east gate. The letter was sent to Gan Yuxuan. She did not have much confidence in whether the great general would give her one day and one night.

He knew very little about Gan Yuxuan. According to hearsay, he had never seen that man before.

"The North, West, and South Sects will send their troops to reinforce the East Gate. The generals who are able to command them will be on high alert tonight, keeping a tight watch over the East Gate. All applications are divided into five parts on average, and two of them are sent to the east gate. "

"Young General, why are you doing this? After being besieged from the military region, the garrison troops of the east gate, garrison equipment, stone-throwing machines and other equipment all supported the other three gates. Now, why do we need to reinforce the East Gate? "

"If I am willing to give up on you, I will definitely do my best to attack the city tonight. I hope that I have overthought things."

"Of course it's because we don't have enough manpower. If we want to preserve our strength, the Great General will lead troops to exterminate the remnants of the Duke of Ming and capture him. He will not be able to care about the military state."

"Let's see, the general wants to benefit from this. When both sides are tired, we will destroy the military and occupy this place."

"There is no need for me to say too much about the importance of the military region. I believe that everyone wants to take over the military region and take it for themselves. "He is a scheming person who specializes in military affairs. He has been watching for more than half a month. When both sides are exhausted, he will definitely launch a surprise attack and destroy the military region in one go."

He nodded slightly, "The young general's words make sense."

The generals were suddenly enlightened, "We did not think of this point, so we are inferior to Young Generals. The young general is indeed worthy of the title of general. "

"Don't even think about it. Last night, the North Gate and the other two gates almost broke into the Military Region. I think the East Gate will make a move tonight. Even if that is not the case, it is better to be prepared than unprepared. "

"As you command."

Tao Zheng turned around and left. He personally led a group of people to the east gate.

"Miss, you've grown up."

He bowed to Helian Manqiu as he whispered in an extremely soft voice, but there was a trace of regret in his eyes. If Miss was a man …

"It's a pity, Uncle Yi. Am I not a man?"

What did it mean to be shocked? How could she know what he was thinking when he was looking at Helian Manqiu?

Helian Manqiu quietly laughed in a low voice. In this era, it was even possible for males to be inferior to females.

"Uncle Yi, look at me. I will achieve something that even a man cannot. I will let you understand that a woman can be as good as a man, or even better!"

"Reporting to the young general, the east gate is attacking the city and increasing the number of troops by around ten thousand. Attacking the city is very urgent!"

She had just closed her eyes to rest for a moment when she received an urgent report. A wisp of an enchanting and confident smile sketched out a charming arc, and a trace of a smile could be seen within his eyes. That great general was swift and decisive. He liked to come to the military region.
