Chapter 310
Boom!
Just then, a huge explosion suddenly rang through the entire Imperial Palace!
Following this explosion, the iron fragments in the grenade shot out like arrows leaving a bow, emitting sharp whistling sounds in all directions.
In an instant, dust flew and smoke billowed!
At the very center of the grenade's explosion, the solid ground looked as if it had been struck hard by a giant iron hammer, creating a small pit.
At the same time, some nearby trees were embedded with iron fragments ejected by the grenade's explosion!
The alchemist had hidden fast enough, lying on the ground with his butt slightly raised, but an iron fragment still came like a venomous snake, piercing into his butt!
"Ah!"
He covered his butt and let out a scream.
This safe distance was enough to avoid powdered gunpowder, but for granular gunpowder, it still wasn't safe enough.
"Hiss!"
Amidst the flying dust, a chorus of gasps rang out.
Gao Tianlong was shocked.
Qin Zhenguo and Zhao Ponu were also incredulous; they clenched their fists and stared blankly ahead.
The scene before them was simply unbelievable.
Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er suddenly looked up, startled.
Before Lu Zhen could finish his sentence, he heard this explosion.
He also suddenly turned back, his face full of astonishment.
"Is... is this the power of gunpowder?"
"Old Duke, weren't you bragging to me?"
Lu Zhen looked at Gao Tianlong in disbelief.
Although Gao Tianlong was also deeply shocked, he stroked his beard and said nonchalantly, "When have I ever spoken falsely?"
Lu Zhen's expression became complex.
Although Gao Yang was slightly shocked, he remained calm on the surface.
Fortunately, it finally produced a big result.
Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing.
"Grandpa Lu, what were you saying just now?"
Gao Yang pretended to be curious and looked at Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen's old face flushed, feeling embarrassed.
He cursed inwardly that this brat truly doesn't let a grudge go overnight.
He admitted that his mocking voice earlier was indeed a bit loud.
But after all, as a veteran of many battles, his skin was thicker than a city wall!
He said calmly, "I was just saying you don't look bad, you have three parts of my demeanor when I was young."
Gao Yang glanced at Lu Zhen's dark face and didn't say a word.
This statement was quite contradictory.
"Brat, can I go up and take a look?"
Lu Zhen felt an itch he couldn't scratch and couldn't help but look at Gao Yang.
Gao Yang looked at the smoke not far away and nodded, "The explosion is over, so you can."
Hearing this, Lu Zhen was the first to move forward, and Gao Tianlong and Qin Zhenguo followed curiously.
When they saw the scene before them, everyone's faces showed emotion.
On the ground, a small pit appeared, and on the surrounding trees, tiny iron fragments were embedded at different depths!
Lu Zhen felt his scalp tingle, realizing the terrifying nature of the grenade!
"If this exploded in the middle of an army, wouldn't these small iron fragments pierce into people's bodies, or even deeper?"
Trees were pierced so deeply, let alone flesh and blood; the lethality was self-evident.
Lu Zhen's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, his face full of excitement.
Gao Tianlong also said with great emotion, "With this object, even if Changancheng is in imminent danger, we can turn the tide and catch the Chu army off guard!"
In Gao Tianlong's understanding, once this object appears, the dominant status of cavalry will instantly be lost!
This heaven-shaking explosion would be a disaster for warhorses; once they are startled, the cavalry formation will fall into chaos.
For cavalry, this is absolutely fatal!
The era has changed!
Gao Tianlong looked at Gao Yang, his heart complex, but more than that, he felt pride, because this gunpowder came from his grandson.
Wu Zhao also sighed in admiration, her noble face full of emotion, "Good thing, this grenade is truly a good thing."
"Gao Yang, you have rendered a great service this time!"
With this object, as long as they survive this crisis, Da Qian's military will achieve a complete takeoff!
