The sun dispersed the morning fog.
The sky in early winter is blue and high. This early winter with bright sunshine is the most pleasant time.
Wang Zheng, Jin Zhong and others were not in a happy mood, but rather heavy.
Too many mysteries remain in their hearts.
Dongfanghong has gone far away.
Wang Zheng Jinzhong certainly did not believe Dongfang Hong's words easily.
He needed to check Fan Taohua's grave again to determine whether Fan Taohua was really dead.
He has to rush back to Kyoto and send spies from the Imperial City Department to question everyone who built Changle Palace one by one.
In addition, we have to find the little Taoist priest Wuwei!
Taiyiyi's Taoist temple was burned down by people sent by Changsun Jinghong, and the old Taoist priest Qingfeng died on the top of the Western Mountain. I am afraid that only this little Taoist priest Wuwei knew about Emperor Zhaohua's Taoism.
As for the person who gave Zhong Liruo the underwater poison, and the Hidden Sect master who seriously injured Fan Taohua... it is difficult to investigate this matter. I am afraid that these mysteries can only be solved one day when the Hidden Sect people show up in large numbers.
Whether Li Chenan can successfully practice the Fu Er Zhou Tian Jue and get out of Wangqingtai is not only related to Zhong Li Ruoshui's life, but also seems to be related to the victory or defeat of the secular martial arts masters against the hidden sect.
If he could take a longer-term view like Xi Wei and Li Chenan was alive and use his foresight to build a powerful Ning Kingdom, this might be able to avoid a possible disaster in the secular world.
According to the rules of sword discussions in Shushan in the past, if the secular martial arts world wins, people in the hidden sect are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the world, that is, they are not allowed to appear in the world.
But the strange thing is that the people in the Hidden Sect should obviously be more skilled, but they all lost in the Shushan sword debate!
According to Dongfanghong, they were actually just for observation!
Observe the strength in the secular world, including martial arts, national power and people's livelihood, etc.
It is most likely to provide news about the secular world to the descendants of the royal family who have left the empire.
Thousands of years have passed, and if the combined military strength of Wu, Ning and Yue were added up, they would probably number in the millions. If we only count the elite, there are still 300,000 in number.
How could the royal descendants of the Dali Empire have such a powerful army?
It takes a whole country to raise such an army!
Its people must number in the tens of millions!
With such a large population, it is already a country, but the intelligence agencies of the three countries have not yet found their presence.
This doesn't make sense at all.
Without the foundation of a country, no matter how many masters they have, they will never be able to successfully restore it.
Even though they have been hidden in the secular world, Li Chen'an, the Divine Warrior Army of Ning State, was already under the control of the Ministry of War when he became the regent. The Divine Eagle Army of Wu State is a direct descendant of the Emperor of Wu State, and the Shence Army of Yue State is also under the sole control of the Emperor of Yue State... …
If these three armies unite, who in the world can defeat them?
Therefore, how can the so-called royal family of the Dali Empire afford to make waves?
Wang Zheng Jinzhong shook his head, "It's useless to think too much, just do your best now!"
He turned his head and looked at Wuyaguan in the distance.
…
…
Just before his sight, the huge trebuchet threw the first firework at Wuyaguan!
Wu Ya closed the door, and Gou Kuo also saw the unknown thing throwing a... black ball!
That round ball is dragging a slender tail!
The end of that slender tail is shining with bright light!
His eyes suddenly widened and he shouted: "Be careful...fireworks!"
Just before his sight, the fireworks were rapidly amplifying!
The soldiers guarding the southern border wall were also stunned as they watched the fireworks falling from the sky.
"This is impossible!"
One veteran muttered in shock.
Chen Zhongshi, the left deputy general of the border guard stationed here, heard this and asked: "What's strange?"
"Back to the general, the last time... that was just half a year ago, the enemy's fireworks couldn't be thrown at all. But now look at this..."
He raised his neck and his pupils tightened.
He took a breath, "Dodge... lie down...!"
He turned around and pounced, throwing Chen Zhongshi, who had not yet reacted, onto the city wall.
"boom……!"
There was a loud noise, and the firework hit the city wall with great accuracy.
It landed on the wall!
As its explosion sounded, Gou Kuo in the distance suddenly felt the earth shaking beneath his feet.
He saw the dazzling fire caused by the explosion, and also saw a cloud of smoke rising from the city wall.
In the smoke, it seemed as if pieces of limbs were flying in all directions.
Then, he heard the faint sound of screams and wails.
He stared dumbfounded.
Only then did I truly understand the power of fireworks.
Before leaving Kyoto, when he was in the Crown Prince's East Palace, His Highness the Crown Prince carefully described the power of the fireworks. At that time, he didn't take it seriously.
Because in wars for thousands of years, there are many factors that determine victory or defeat.
It is nothing more than superiority in military strength, tactical superiority, or tenacity of fighting will, etc.
After all, the enemy and we are fighting with real swords and guns, or they are defending with strong walls like they are now.
But now, the power of the explosion of this firework made Gou Kuo suddenly feel confused——
He has read many military books.
But no military book can tell him how to deal with the current situation!
The enemy is on the mountainside, outside the range of the arrow feathers!
Unless the gate is opened and the troops are killed, no weapon can pose a threat to the enemy.
But the enemy can use that tall frame to throw the fireworks over the wall...
This is passive beating.
I was beaten and there was nothing I could do!
How to defend against that thing?
Just when Gou Kuo's mind went blank, several generals around him exclaimed:
"Oh my god...so many fireworks?!"
The Red Flame Army's troops were lined up on the mountainside.
There were five rows of people lined up!
There are ten catapults in each row.
Fifty catapults, at Wu Mian's order, threw fireworks and boulders onto the city wall one after another.
The light emitted by the burning fuse in the air is like a shining star, or like the eyes of the king of hell urging death!
The soldiers guarding Wuya Gate looked at the overwhelming fireworks, with only fear and despair in their eyes!
"General, hide quickly...!"
"Everyone, hide...!"
"Run..."
"Boom boom boom...!"
A total of twenty-two of the thirty fireworks exploded on the city wall.
Another eight landed on the front and rear of the city wall and exploded.
Twenty boulders larger than washbasins hit the city wall hard.
There was a gaping hole in the city wall.
Flesh and blood were flying all over the city wall, and people were wailing all over the place.
Gou Kuo climbed up from the ground, his handsome square face covered with dust, and even his helmet was tilted to one side. He did not reach out to straighten the helmet, but stared blankly at the smoke that still had not dispersed. .
His limbs were shaking.
There was also unconcealable fear in his eyes.
"what to do?"
"Who can tell me what to do, General?!"
