Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1309

Bang bang bang bang bang...!

At Zhu Di's command, the soldiers who were already prepared immediately loaded the cannonballs into the muzzle.

In just two seconds, a hundred slightly muffled explosions came from the mortar barrels.

After the shells flew out of the cannon barrel, the loading soldiers immediately took out long poles tied with cotton cloth and quickly cleaned the debris from the cannon barrel.

He then took the shells handed to him by his comrade and prepared for the second round of firing.

Meanwhile, at the Northern Yuan army camp, Yao Guangxiao, who had almost fallen asleep, was awakened by the chaos in the camp.

Listening to the noise and screams coming from outside the tent, he finally understood why he felt palpitations.

However, Yao Guangxiao didn't think too much about it. He immediately got out of bed, dressed, and went out of the tent.

Although his tent was not in the location of the fire, he could still see the firelight in the camp after stepping out of the tent.

Just then, a Northern Yuan soldier carrying a bucket of water ran past him, and Yao Guangxiao immediately stopped him to ask him questions.

"Tell me why the camp suddenly caught fire!"

The soldier was carrying a bucket of water and was on his way to help put out the fire when he was suddenly stopped, which made him angry.

But when he turned around and saw that it was Yao Guangxiao blocking his way, he quickly suppressed his anger and explained:

"Your Majesty, we don't know why the camp is like this. It's as if... as if demons are causing trouble."

Upon hearing the soldier's answer, Yao Guangxiao frowned, then asked again in a deep voice:

"Tell me in detail what you saw, what do you mean by demonic possession!"

Although the soldiers were in a hurry to put out the fire, he dared not disobey Yao Guangxiao's orders and could only continue to explain.

"Your Excellency, just before the flames started burning, our patrolling brothers suddenly heard a strange sound from the sky."

"So the patrolling brothers immediately gathered the others to prepare to report the matter and take precautions in advance."

"But before they could report it, the flames of the campfires and torches in the camp suddenly swelled up a lot."

Recalling that scene, fear immediately appeared on the soldier's face.

After hearing the soldier's words, Yao Guangxiao's eyes narrowed, and he focused his attention on looking up at the sky.

He hadn't noticed the sound because of the commotion in the camp, but now that the soldier had mentioned it...

He also heard the sound of propellers coming from the sky, so he pointed to the sky and said:

Is this the sound you heard?

"Yes, it is!"

The soldier's fear deepened, and he quickly spoke again:

"After that sound appeared, the campfires in the camp and the torches in the hands of the patrolling brothers became uncontrollable."

"Many brothers were burned after the flames suddenly flared up, and many others had their clothes set on fire by the sudden burst of flames."

“We tried many methods to put out the flames on their bodies, but, but the flames just couldn’t be put out.”

"Not only could we not put it out, but the fire was also getting bigger and bigger, as if some kind of demon was causing trouble!"

As the soldier spoke, his voice trembled slightly, while Yao Guangxiao's brows furrowed more and more as he listened.

He didn't believe in demons at all; in his view, this was most likely the work of the Ming Dynasty.

He simply couldn't figure out how the Ming Dynasty managed to control the campfires and torches in the military camp.

Just as Yao Guangxiao was frowning and deep in thought, he suddenly smelled a strange odor, not pungent but very peculiar.

However, before he could react, a campfire not far from his tent suddenly blazed up and shot straight into the sky.

"Here we go again, just like that, just like that, the demons are here, the demons have struck again!!"
