"Fire!"
With Wang Zhong's order, the bomber who had been preparing for a long time resolutely lit the fuse and threw it one after another towards the place with the largest crowd under the tower.
"Boom, boom..."
A series of explosions sounded, and the bottom was covered with flesh and blood.
"Ah, my legs..."
"My hand is gone..."
"My head... My head..."
The tragedy in front suddenly scared the crowd behind, but Wang Zhong didn't stop and shouted, "throw when you see someone, archers ready!"
The archers prepared one after another and shot out one by one, specifically shooting those who were left alone.
No one dares to get close to the earth bombs that blow up under the city tower. If there were not a supervision team on the side of the cow country, no one was allowed to retreat, I'm afraid the people on the side of the cow country would escape.
At this time, the enemy could not be hit because of the distance from the bomb.
But it doesn't matter. Soon the gate of the city tower opened, and a team of about 1000 flint guns rushed out on horseback. When they saw people, they shot. Soon, a group of people cried for their parents to fall down.
And because of the sound of guns, these horses, who had never heard the sound of guns, were scared to their knees, and most of them fled in all directions.
In this war, the army of the cow Kingdom, which was originally majestic and invincible, suffered heavy casualties. Finally, it abandoned its armor and fled in all directions.
Commander Niu, with only three remaining generals and thousands of men, withdrew at night.
The news of the victory spread, and the emperor was shocked.
Three days later, reinforcements arrived. A few days later, the imperial capital brought the imperial edict. Zhao Jie was promoted to the national defense general because of his meritorious service in guarding the city.
As for Wang Chong, he knew the truth of his guilt, so he didn't hesitate to tell Zhao Jie the principle of his invention. Finally, the emperor made Wang Chong become the Lord of the Acropolis at Zhao Jie's suggestion.
Later, according to the manufacture of Wang chongsuifa's gun, the state of Qianzhou found almost all the blacksmiths around the imperial capital and built the barrel of suifa gun overnight. Gunpowder suddenly became a controlled item and no one was allowed to collect it privately.
Three months later, the newly crowned Emperor Wu Zhang personally led 10000 flint gun troops to recover the lost land. First, he removed the most powerful country of cattle. Finally, the Gaowen empire was afraid of being attacked, so he sent messengers to make peace overnight, and was finally forced to cede one third of the territory.
As for the kingdom of great sun, which made soy sauce, its territory was not large, and it was directly annexed by Wu Zhang, and all members of the royal family were killed.
The war is finally over.
Wang Long now joins Zhao Jie as a teacher, and follows Zhao Jie to pursue the remaining evils of the cow kingdom.
And Zhao Jie, with the help of Wang Zhong, successfully married Zhang Xiaodie as his concubine.
Of course, before marriage, Wang Zhong said that Zhang Xiaodie was not the daughter of a general. Although Zhao Jie was very wrong, who let Wang Zhong teach well? He still liked Zhang Xiaodie, but his wife couldn't do it, so he had to be a concubine.
As for Wang Jun's son, because he didn't like learning martial arts and was not interested in being an official, Wang Zhong didn't force him, so he let him stay at home and helped him manage things in the Acropolis.
Three years later.
The Acropolis is bigger and more prosperous than before. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is strong and prosperous.
But in the winter of this year, the weather was colder than before. At the beginning of spring, the flu swept the whole city. Guo yueluo's parents and husband fell ill. Within a few days, they kicked their feet and left.
Half a month after the funeral,
Mother Zhang Xiaohong is seriously ill in bed and cannot stand.
Wang Zhong knew that his mother could not pass this level.
So these days, he has been wearing a mask to accompany Zhang Xiaohong.
"Xiao Yu, what about the husband's house that Xiao Qiao saw a few days ago?"
On the edge of the small lake in the palace, Zhang Xiaohong asked weakly, sitting in the disabled wheelchair designed by Wang Zhong for her.
Wang Xiaoqiao is Wang Chong's daughter. Wang Chong replied, "it's the youngest son of General Zhao Jie."
"Well, no matter how good the condition is, it mainly depends on the character. A woman, if she doesn't marry well, it's like a year. Cough..."
"Mom, that man has a good character."
"Well, that's good. Don't learn from your father, bad gambling."
"I understand."
"Cough..." Zhang Xiaohong coughed more and more seriously.
"Go back to the house."
"No, I haven't been exposed to the sun for a long time, fish. I'm afraid my mother is dead. Sometimes my mother really feels happy, even if I was beaten by your father and bullied by your father's relatives, but as soon as I see you sensible, my mother is happy..."
Wang Zhong listened quietly. The sun is good today, and the people who shine on it are warm.
Zhang Xiaohong talked a lot today. As she talked, she gradually fell asleep.
"Master." A servant girl came.
"Go back to the room and get ready. Let the old lady lie down and rest."
"Good Lord."
That night, although Zhang Xiaohong slept, she had a high fever.
Wang Zhong, Ya LAN, Guo yueluo and several servants stayed by the bed all night, but it was useless. The high fever didn't go away at all.
Vaguely, Zhang Xiaohong suddenly grabbed Wang Chong's hand and shouted, "don't gamble, please don't gamble..."
"You, get out." Wang Chongchao Guo yueluo said to them.
"We'll wait outside."
Ya LAN quietly wiped her tears. In fact, everyone knew that her mother was dead.
"Mom, are you okay?" Wang Zhong wiped the sweat on Zhang Xiaohong's forehead.
Zhang Xiaohong suddenly opened her eyes, "dead, he's dead, Xiaoyu, your father... Dead."
"I know, he's dead."
"Dead." Zhang Xiaohong looked at Wang Zhong absently, "little fish, it's useless for my mother. You should remember to put the bottle of medicine."
"Medicine?"
"Yes, medicine. It's useless. I should do this."
Zhang Xiaohong shed tears, "little fish, let's go to work in the field. My mother will buy you a chicken leg today..."
Zhang Xiaohong murmured, her voice getting weaker and weaker. Wang Zhong knew that her mother was dying. She recalled the previous days in her mind, and she was a little dementia.
As she spoke, Zhang Xiaohong's arm hung down feebly.
Zhang Xiaohong, let's go.
At the moment of death, Zhang Xiaohong seemed to think of the past. She carried young Wang Xiaoyu on her back and went to work in the field.
At that time, a chicken leg was the most precious food, and she always wanted to leave the best to Wang Xiaoyu.
"Hoo..."
At this moment, Wang recalled that night. His mother knew about the poison. In fact, she had always understood how Wang Dayong died.
"My mother is dead."
Wang Chong shouted at the door. People outside pushed the door and came in. Guo yueluo and Yalan wailed.
Wang Chong went out with his hands on his back.
He seemed to see the figure of Zhang Xiaohong working in the field in the dark, but the figure became more and more blurred, and finally, the whole person walked farther and farther.
