Just when Wang Jian was a little weak-hearted, he swept his eyes and saw a familiar face in the crowd - the one named Zhou Zhiguo in the academy.

That Zhou Zhiguo was beaten the worst by Wang Jian because of the shallow relationship between King Jinshu.

It turned out that Wang Jian made a big fuss in the academy that day, and the soldiers who were beaten were all arrested and locked up in the prison for a night, and later Bi Maokang remembered the affection of teachers and students, and pleaded with Wang Jian, saying that the firearms bureau was short of manpower, and wanted to send the scholars of the academy to help. Wang Jian then agreed to release them, and Bi Maokang took them to Horseshoe Ridge to help him make firearms.

Wang Jian said to the crowd of onlookers: "Hey, who is that, that Zhou Zhiguo, come over here." ”

"Your Majesty... The emperor actually recognizes me! Could it be that I am only outstanding in learning and have already reached the heavens to listen? As soon as Zhou Zhiguo heard the emperor personally call his name, he felt excited in his heart, feeling that he had reached the peak of his life, he ran over, and even the other scholars next to him looked at him with envy.

When Zhou Zhiguo came to him, Wang Jian stuffed the torch in his hand to him, found a reason for the crown spring, and ordered him to light the fire for himself, while Wang Jian himself quickly hid away.

The professors of the academy saw that their most proud disciple was appointed by the emperor to order this sacred first cannon, and the honor was attributed to the academy anyway, so they had no objections.

Zhou Zhiguo didn't know why, looked around, and saw that the teachers who usually treated him benevolently looked at him encouragingly, so he didn't think much about it.

He had been just fooling around with the craftsmen for the past few days, and he looked down on these shirtless craftsmen in his heart, and spent a few days in a daze, thinking that his father would use his connections to fish him out of the fire.

And the craftsmen also knew that these scholars looked down on them, so every time they tested the artillery, they didn't call him, so that Zhou Zhiguo didn't know what the cannon was at all, and where would he know the power of the artillery? He thought it was just a small firecracker.

Zhou Zhiguo lit the cannon twist, and then stood aside stupidly. When the others saw the sound of the cannonball, they all hurried to hide as far as they could.

Hearing only the sound of "bang", the loud sound shook the valley, and a thick smoke erupted from the mouth of the cannon barrel, and soon surrounded Zhou Zhiguo, who was standing on the side, his face was as smoked as black charcoal, and the smoke choked him.

A black fireball flew out of the black muzzle, and the fireball accurately hit the big tree a hundred meters away in the distance, and the big tree with an adult's waist was broken into two sections in response, and the upper part of the big tree slammed into the ground, and then the flames flew away, and the whole tree burned.

It turned out that the ancestor Dabi was disrespectful and despised the artillery, which caused the dissatisfaction of the craftsmen, and they deliberately increased the measurement of gunpowder in order to show the power of the artillery, and the power of the artillery was naturally greater.

After Zhou Zhiguo lit the fuse, he was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and he felt that his lower body was warm and humid.

He muttered, "I just lit a cannon... I just lit a firecracker... Woooooo

Seeing Zhou Zhiguo's tragic situation, Wang Jian couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "Fortunately, I didn't order it myself." ”

He was very satisfied, clapped his hands and said, "Haha, it's really amazing." I want to reward you heavily! ”

The craftsmen hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and they could get the emperor's appreciation, and they felt that the hard work of the past few days had not been in vain.

Zu Dabi also opened his mouth widely: "Damn, this cannon is even louder than the Hongyi cannon in Ningyuan City back then!" Thinking of those brothers who died in battle, and seeing Zhou Zhiguo's miserable appearance, he not only did not sympathize, but also kicked the surname Zhou: "Cowardly eggs!" ”

It was also the first time she had seen the power of artillery, and she turned over gracefully and rode her white horse towards the big tree.

She stood at the stump that was only half cut and observed for a long time, and then came back and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine also wants to try it, to see if it is powerful or the concubine's wolf becomes powerful!" ”

Ma Wei's words not only frightened the people in the academy, but even the generals of the Iron Cavalry Battalion were shocked when they heard it, they were all veterans of a hundred battles, many of them had participated in the Battle of Ningyuan, and naturally knew the power of artillery, which was an extraordinary weapon, not to mention that the artillery in front of them was more fierce and more fierce than they thought.

This cannon can smash a tree waist-wide to pieces, and if it hits a person, it will not be crushed. They didn't expect their boss to be so violent, and they actually wanted to test him with flesh and blood!

Bi Maokang hurriedly said: "Niangniang, you can't help it, the power of this artillery is huge, be careful to hurt your daughter's body." ”

Ma said disdainfully: "Your firearm is powerful, but this palace is not him Nurhachi, no matter how powerful the firearm is, you can't hurt this palace!" ”

Wang Jian saw that her face was firm, not like a joke, so she said heroically: "Haha, since my beloved concubine wants to try, it doesn't hurt to try." Come on, fill the gunpowder, this time I will light the fire myself. ”

Seeing Zhou Zhiguo's tragic situation, Wang Jian was originally a little weak-hearted, and her hands were still a little trembling, but Ma Xiaomei said that she wanted to try, and Wang Jian could only sacrifice her life to accompany her.

The craftsmen were afraid of hurting the emperor and the mother, and when they filled the gunpowder, they consciously reduced the amount of gunpowder a lot.

When Ma Mi came to the original big tree that was broken by the waist, she couldn't stand the advice of everyone, and reluctantly retreated more than ten steps.

The cannon was commissioned.

Wang Jian looked at Ma Miaomei in the distance, this time his hands didn't tremble, because he had absolute confidence in Ma Miao, since she said that she could resist it, Wang Jian would trust her unconditionally, which was also a tacit understanding between the two.

He lit the fire twist and watched it burn into the barrel of the cannon.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", his heart was also tight, and he couldn't help but worry about Ma Jian's comfort, he felt that this time the power was even more fierce than just now, and it was even greater, and the powerful recoil of the artillery made the ground under Wang Jian's feet shake.

In the distance, Ma Yumei looked at the black fireball that was galloping, she didn't dare to be careless, she used the Heavenly Wolf Transformation Mental Technique to the extreme, and soon, her whole body was protected by the Holy White Dragon Qi.

But this outgoing dragon qi could not stop the advance of the fireball, seeing that the iron ball was flying closer and closer, only five steps away from herself, she snorted: "Transform the soul!" I saw that the holy white dragon qi around her suddenly conjured up a snow-white silver fox, the white fox raised a tail high, his face was hideous, and his bloody mouth seemed to devour everything!

In the shocked eyes of everyone, the fireball also flew in front of Ma Miao. Suddenly, the silver fox transformed by dragon qi opened its bloody mouth and accurately bit the flying fireball!

In an instant, the white fox's bloody mouth was full of fire, and the "squeak" sound produced by the friction between the fireball and the dragon qi seemed to be the roar of the white fox.

The collision between the fireball and the dragon qi only lasted for a while, even if Ma Yumei tried her best, she still couldn't withstand the power of the fireball, and the defense formed by the dragon qi was quickly broken by the fireball, and the white fox that was transformed also rippled with the collapse of the dragon qi, and finally disappeared.

And the fireball also showed its true face, turning into a black iron ball, still fast, and smashed towards the horse.
