Chapter 1329: Shouting for the King

About two years ago, Wang Shouzheng finally lost all his ambition, and began to be down-to-earth.

At that time, the artillery battalion of Taiping Camp was recruiting, and Wang Shouzheng actually showed an excellent talent for commanding artillery. So after rounds of selection, he successfully became the commander-in-chief of the artillery battalion.

Due to the limitations of technology and load, Taiping Camp had only 300 artillerymen and 300 rocket launchers. As for artillery shells, only 1,500 rounds were brought this time.

But this was enough to win a great victory in this era.

This rocket launcher has a range of 500 meters, and the effective killing range is 70 meters multiplied by 25 meters, which is converted into a square, a full 1,750 meters.

One rocket launcher is so terrifying, and 300 rockets are launched in a covering manner. In terms of the traditional combat methods of this era, it is simply a real, world-destroying blow.

Looking around, there is fire in all directions.

Even if they were not hit by rocket launchers, in this era, soldiers who had not done relevant stress training would have lost all their courage just by seeing this terrible scene.

Soldiers fight, and courage!

Weapons like rocket launchers are undoubtedly the greatest mockery of courage, morale, and flesh and blood.

Killing is courage, destroying is unyielding, and no matter how strong your will is, you can't resist the purest destructive power.

In just a few dozen seconds, Cao Zheng's side went from pressing step by step to being defeated.

The 100,000-strong army, like ants scalded by boiling water, fled to the rear without any rules and madness, people squeezed and stepped on each other, and in a moment, countless people were trampled to death or injured.

At this moment, Cao Zheng, standing on a high place, deeply felt what it meant to have great ambitions in an instant, and then nothing in an instant!

Just 900 rockets.

If it were put in modern times, such a small amount of firepower would not be enough to decide the outcome of a battle.

But in this era, the troops were marching and fighting, and the troops could not be dispersed. Once they were dispersed, they would be scattered.

After three rounds, the Taiping Camp pursued the victory, but they did not hit people directly, but fired into the air regularly, forcing the people in front to continue to flee without thinking.

The iron shield was gone. At this moment, there was nothing that could stop the firepower of the Taiping Camp.

At the same time, the 20,000 Taiping Camp reserve troops continued to call out at this moment: "Cao thieves, surrender quickly!"

"Discard your weapons and armor, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Surrender quickly!"

"Surrender quickly!"

...

In this case, the generals in the Cao army certainly wanted to stabilize the situation, but when they saw the sea of ​​people rushing towards them, they had to be dragged and fled to the rear.

At this time, those soldiers who were almost crazy would not care whether he was their superior or not.

Even if Cao Zheng fell into this surging sea of ​​people and was unwilling to run, he would certainly be trampled to death.

On the sentry tower, Cao Zheng breathed violently, and his eyes were bloodshot and turned red.

Indeed, the fire and explosion in front of him were countless times worse than the world-destroying thunder, but they were enough to deal with him.

If he had a city to defend, such thunder and fire would not be able to knock down the city wall, after all, it was several feet thick, but in the mountains at this moment, such thunder and fire, there was nothing to resist.

"Haha, crown the king..."

"Come on, pass the order down, reorganize the troops, and then let everyone shout, I, Cao Zheng, am willing to surrender..."

When Cao Zheng spoke, he clenched his fists tightly, and even his fingernails pierced into his flesh and blood, and blood dripped on the wooden board, but he was still unaware of it.

The moment before, he was still imagining how majestic and glorious he would be if he was crowned king in the future.

Even with this throne, if there is chaos in the future, with this identity, he may not be able to have more opportunities to rule the world.

But the next moment, Zhao Cheng directly used 900 rockets to shatter the dream he had just had.

Returning from the dream to reality, at this moment, he only felt that the wind at night suddenly became particularly cold.

...

Half an hour later.

"Cao Zheng, the surrendered minister, pays homage to the king!"

On a piece of open space that was simply cleaned up, the surrounding bonfires were burning vigorously. Cao Zheng, surrounded by his men, took the lead and knelt down to Zhao Cheng, prostrating himself.

And his men, even those who were once rebellious, did not have the slightest intention of resisting at this moment, but just knelt down with Cao Zheng to pay homage to the new master.

Nine hundred rockets not only crushed Cao Zheng's heart, but also theirs.

They didn't know that such shells were very difficult to manufacture. Even the barrels could only be used a few times before they had to be replaced. As for the warheads, there were less than 2,000 in the entire Southern Wilderness. Most of the key structures were made by Zhao Cheng.

He didn't have the talent of the immortals and gods in the upper world, so he could only do the old business of Taoists. Some decisive things were made by hand.

But undoubtedly, in this world, Taoists are the primary productive force at present.

As long as there are blueprints and the level of magic power is sufficient, anything can be made by hand and directly practiced into all things.

In this battle, half of the inventory of the entire Southern Wilderness was directly used up.

But all this is worth it.

Important resources are used in the most critical places, and this is undoubtedly the most critical.

Otherwise, Cao Zheng would not have thought that he might be able to annihilate Zhao Cheng's ace here.

If Zhao Cheng did not have rockets in his hand, it was possible that the ace troops would be defeated here.

Zhao Cheng did not speak directly when he saw this, but looked at Cao Zheng who was prostrating himself.

In his memory as a Taoist, when he traveled through time, he took a look at the future of this world because of the experience of traveling through time.

Of course, now because of him, the original historical trajectory has been messed up, and it can only be used as a reference.

But with the reference, Zhao Cheng understood more and more what it meant to be in the hands of man.

Before traveling through time, he had read many travel works, which always liked to say something about history being unchangeable and unchangeable. Even if he could be the emperor, he would still help another emperor to rise up, saying that being the emperor was too tiring, and he wanted to be a free and easy minister, and even sworn brotherhood with the emperor.

But the reality is that, fortunately, it is in the story. If it is in the real world, you have the opportunity to be the emperor but don't do it, then there is no such thing as taking a step back to have a broader horizon. Only taking a step back will lead to the extinction of the entire clan.

It is the most stupid thing to entrust the lives of your entire family to the so-called brotherhood and luck.

Therefore, since crossing over, Zhao Cheng has never thought of making friends with the son of destiny in the original trajectory and assisting him.

Throughout history, this kind of thing can be said to be stupid.

Think about the founding emperors of all dynasties, how many brothers have they killed? !

And now, the son of destiny in this world is kneeling in front of him at this moment, shouting "King!"
