Chapter 49: Influenza

"Ignition!"

With Wang Chong's order, the bombardiers who had been preparing for a long time decisively lit the fuse and threw it towards the place with the largest crowd under the tower.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A series of explosions rang out, and the flesh beneath was a blur of flesh.

"Ah, my legs ......"

"My hand is gone......"

"My head...... My head ......"

The tragic situation in front suddenly frightened the crowd behind, but Wang Chong did not stop, and shouted: "Throw it when you see people, and the archers are ready!" ”

The archers prepared one after another, and shot out one arrow after another, specifically to kill those who were left alone.

The earth bomb blew up the castle tower and no one dared to approach, if it weren't for the supervision team on the side of the Cow Country and no one was allowed to retreat, I am afraid that the people on the side of the Cow Country would have fled.

At this time, because of the distance of the bomb, it was impossible to hit the enemy.

But it didn't matter, soon the gate of the castle tower opened, and a flintlock team of about a thousand people rushed out on horseback, and when they saw people, they opened fire, and soon a group of people cried and shouted that their mother fell.

And because of the sound of gunfire, these war horses, which had never heard the sound of gunfire, were so frightened that their legs were weak, and most of them scattered and fled in fright.

In this battle, the originally majestic and invincible army of the Ox Country suffered heavy casualties, and finally lost its armor and fled.

Niu Dashuai withdrew overnight with the only three remaining generals and thousands of men and horses.

The news of the victory was transmitted, and the imperial capital was shaken.

Three days later, reinforcements arrived, and within a few days, the imperial capital brought the holy decree of the saint, because Zhao Jie had meritorious service in defending the city, and was promoted to the general of the country.

As for Wang Chong, he knew the truth of Huaibi's crime, so he did not hesitate to tell Zhao Jie the principle of his invention, and finally the emperor made Wang Chong the lord of the Acropolis under Zhao Jie's suggestion.

Later, according to the manufacture of Wang Chongsui's pistol, the country of Qianzhou found almost all the blacksmiths around the imperial capital to build the barrel of the flintlock pistol overnight, and the gunpowder suddenly became a controlled item, and no one was allowed to collect it privately.

Three months later, the newly enthroned emperor Wu Zhang personally led 10,000 flintlock pistol troops to regain the lost territory, first to get rid of the most powerful country of the ox, and finally the Gawain Empire, fearing that it would be attacked, sent envoys to make peace overnight, and was finally forced to cede one-third of the territory.

As for the country of the great grandson who played soy sauce, the territory was not large, and it was directly annexed by Wu Zhang, and all the royal family members were killed.

The war is finally over.

Wang Lung is now under Zhao Jie as a teacher, and follows Zhao Jie to continue to hunt down the remnants of the Ox Country.

And Zhao Jie, under the mediation of Wang Chong, successfully married Zhang Xiaodie, a woman, as a concubine.

Of course, before marrying, Wang Chong told the fact that Zhang Xiaodie was not the daughter of a general, although Zhao Jie was very stunned, but who let Wang Chong train well, he still likes Zhang Xiaodie, but his wife can't do it, she can only be a concubine.

As for Wang Jun's son, because he didn't like to learn martial arts and had little interest in being an official, Wang Chong didn't force him, so he let him stay at home and help 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.

It's just that this winter, the weather is colder than ever, and at the beginning of spring, the flu swept the whole city, Guo Yueluo's parents fell ill, and they kicked their feet and walked away within a few days.

It's only been half a month since the funeral,

Her mother, Zhang Xiaohong, was seriously ill and bedridden and could no longer stand.

Wang Zhong knew that his mother might not be able to pass this level.

So these days, he has been wearing a mask and staying by Zhang Xiaohong's side.

"Xiao Yu, how is the husband's house that Xiao Qiao saw a few days ago?"

On the edge of the small lake in the palace, Zhang Xiaohong sat on the disabled wheelchair designed for her by Wang Zhong and asked weakly.

Wang Xiaoqiao is Wang Chong's daughter, and Wang Chong replied: "It's General Zhao Jie's youngest son." ”

"Well, no matter how good the conditions are, it mainly depends on the character, women, if you don't marry well, you really live like a year, cough cough ......"

"Mother, that person has a good personality."

"Well, that's good, don't learn from your father, bad betting."

"The child understands."

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Zhang Xiaohong's cough became more and more serious.

"Let's go back to the house."

"No, I haven't been exposed to the sun for a long time, Xiaoyu, I'm afraid my mother can't do it, sometimes my mother really feels very happy, even if I was beaten by your father before, and was bullied by your father's relatives, but as soon as I saw that you were sensible, my mother was happy......"

Wang Zhong listened quietly, the sun was good today, and the people who were shining were warm.

Zhang Xiaohong also talked a lot today, and as she spoke, she gradually fell asleep.

"Sir." A maid approached.

"Go back to the house and get ready, let the old lady lie down and rest."

"Yes, sir."

This night, although Zhang Xiaohong slept, she had a high fever.

Wang Chong, Yalan, Guo Yueluo and a few subordinates stayed by the bedside overnight, but it was useless, and the high fever did not go away at all.

In a daze, Zhang Xiaohong suddenly grabbed Wang Chong's hand and shouted: "Don't gamble, please don't gamble......"

"You guys, get out." Wang Chong said to Guo Yueluo.

"We'll wait outside."

Yalan quietly wiped her tears, in fact, everyone understood that her mother was no longer good.

"Mother, 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...... He's dead. ”

"I know, he's dead."

"Dead." Zhang Xiaohong looked at Wang Zhong distractedly: "Xiaoyu, it's useless to be a mother, you have to remember, put the bottle of medicine away." ”

"Medicine?"

"Yes, medicine, it's useless, this kind of thing, I should come."

Zhang Xiaohong shed tears, "Xiaoyu, let's go to work in the field, my mother will buy you a chicken leg today......"

Zhang Xiaohong muttered, her voice getting weaker and weaker, Wang Chong knew that her mother was before she died, and she recalled the previous days in her mind, and she was a little demented.

As she spoke, Zhang Xiaohong's arm hung down weakly.

Zhang Xiaohong, gone.

At this moment of death, Zhang Xiaohong seemed to think of the past, she carried the 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 for Wang Xiaoyu.

"Hoo ......"

At this moment, Wang Chong remembered the events of that night, his mother knew about the poison, and she actually always understood how Wang Dayong died.

"My mother is dead."

Wang Chong shouted at the door, and the people outside pushed the door in, and Guo Yueluo and Yalan wailed.

Wang Zhong put his hands behind his back and walked out.

He seemed to see that in the dark night, Zhang Xiaohong's figure working in the field, but this figure became more and more blurred, more and more blurred, and in the end, the whole person walked farther and farther.
