Chapter 1302 - 406: Counter-plot_4
Those people had mastered the manufacturing methods of Great Chu’s Firearms, and this was an immense temptation for Wu Tuo. Although Wu Tuo Kingdom had developed Gunpowder, and could use it to conduct campaigns far and wide, compared to Firearms that were less lethal but much more flexible and safe, Gunpowder was much more troublesome to handle, and one could easily blow oneself up if not careful.
This kind of incident had occurred more than once or twice. On one occasion, when Wu Tuo Kingdom’s army had occupied a small country, they were ambushed by the people there at their Gunpowder depot. The Wu Tuo soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining troops were forced to retreat and temporarily gave up the offensive.
The temptation of Firearms was too great, and how could the Monarch of Wu Tuo not be tempted? Coveting the vast lands of Great Chu, having unexpectedly obtained the extremely lethal Gunpowder, he had made up his mind to use this powerful weapon to slaughter widely and make Wu Tuo Kingdom the most powerful empire.
"Weiya, calm down. The General from Great Chu is not easy to deal with. We’ve kidnapped his woman, and he certainly won’t let this go! For now, let’s just drag it out with him. When his patience is almost exhausted, we will provoke him further, break down his defenses, and then it will be easier to take him down and make him personally hand over your brother," Leituo said.
Leituo appeared impulsive and careless, but he was actually a person with great depth and strategy in his heart. Otherwise, the Monarch of Wu Tuo wouldn’t have sent him on such a long journey to rescue someone.
"But Chu Jing is under martial law, we have no way to infiltrate the city to gather information. If we wait aimlessly like this, sooner or later my brother and the others will be caught, and by then it will be even harder to save them," Weiya’s emotions cooled somewhat as she analyzed the potential difficulties ahead.
Leituo pondered for a moment, then nodded in acknowledgment of Weiya’s analysis, "We’ll wait three more days. If we still can’t contact that person after three days, we’ll proceed with the plan and must rescue them in one fell swoop."
A hint of joy appeared on Weiya’s face, and she nodded heavily.
Afterward, the two discussed the related details until the western moon sank and they agreed to rest.
