About two years ago, Wang Shouzheng finally lost all his spirit, his dragon spirit disappeared, and he began to be down to earth.
At that time, the artillery battalion of the Taiping Camp was recruiting, and Wang Shouzheng showed great talent in commanding artillery. So after going through rounds of screening, he successfully became the commander-in-chief of the artillery battalion.
Limited by technology and weight, the Taiping Battalion only had 300 artillerymen and 300 rocket launchers. As for artillery shells, they only carried 1,500 rounds this time.
But this is enough to win a big victory in this era.
This rocket launcher has a range of 500 meters, and its effective lethality range is 70 meters times 25 meters. When converted into square meters, it is a full 1,750 meters.
One rocket launcher is already so terrifying, and three hundred rocket launchers are fired 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 every direction.
Even if they were not hit by rockets, in this era, soldiers who had not received relevant stress training would have lost all their courage just by seeing this terrifying sight.
Soldiers fight with courage!
Weapons like rocket launchers are undoubtedly the greatest mockery of courage, morale, and flesh and blood.
What kills is courage, what destroys is unyielding. Even if your will is strong, you cannot withstand the purest destructive power.
In just a few dozen seconds, Cao Zheng's side went from pressing forward step by step to being defeated like a mountain.
The 100,000-strong army, like ants scalded by boiling water, disintegrated towards the rear in an unorganized and frantic manner, squeezing and trampling on each other. In an instant, countless people were trampled to death and injured.
At this moment, Cao Zheng, who was standing on a high place, deeply felt what it means to be ambitious and lofty in an instant, but in an instant it becomes empty!
Just 900 rockets.
If we put it in modern times, such a small amount of firepower would not be enough to decide the outcome of a battle.
But in this era, we are marching and fighting, and our troops cannot be dispersed. Once they are dispersed, they will become stragglers.
After three rounds, the Taiping Battalion took advantage of the victory and pursued them, but instead of hitting people directly, they fired in the air regularly, forcing those in front to continue to flee without having time to think.
The iron shield is gone. At this moment, nothing can stop the Taiping Camp's firepower.
At the same time, the 20,000 Taiping Battalion reservists continued to shout at this moment: "Thief Cao, come down quickly!"
"Throw away your weapons and armor, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Rapid descent!"
"Rapid descent!"
…
In this case, although the generals in Cao's army wanted to stabilize the situation, when they saw the sea of people rushing towards them, they had to be trapped and fled towards the rear.
At this time, those soldiers who were already going crazy would not care whether he was their superior or not.
Even if Cao Zheng fell into this turbulent sea of people and was still unwilling to run, he would definitely end up being trampled to death.
On the sentry tower, Cao Zheng was breathing heavily, and his eyes were bloodshot and turned red.
Indeed, the fire and explosion in front of him were countless times inferior to those of the God of Destruction, but they were enough to deal with him.
If he had a city as a defense, such thunder and fire would not be able to collapse the city wall. After all, it was several feet thick. But in the mountains and fields at this moment, nothing could resist such thunder and fire.
"Haha, become the king..."
"Come here, send the order, reorganize the troops, and then ask everyone to shout, I, Cao Zhengyuan, surrender..."
When Cao Zheng was speaking, he clenched his fists tightly, and even his fingernails were pierced into his flesh. Blood dripped on the wooden board under his feet, but he was still unaware of it.
A moment ago, he was thinking about how majestic and prominent he would be if he were crowned king in the future.
Even with this throne, if there is chaos again in the future, with this status, he may not be unable to have one more chance to rule the world.
But the next moment, Zhao Cheng used nine hundred rockets to shatter the dream he had just had.
When he returned to reality from his dream, he felt that the wind at night had suddenly become extremely cold.
…
Half an hour later.
"Your Majesty, Cao Zheng, pays homage to your Majesty!"
In an open space that was simply cleared, the surrounding bonfires were burning vigorously. Cao Zheng, surrounded by his subordinates, took the lead and knelt down to Zhao Cheng, prostrating himself on the ground.
And his men, even the most rebellious people in the past, had no intention of resisting at this moment. They just knelt down one after another with Cao Zheng to pay homage to the new master.
Nine hundred rocket launchers not only defeated Cao Zheng's heart, but also theirs.
They certainly don't know that such artillery shells are very difficult to manufacture. Even the barrel can only be used a few times before being replaced. As for the warheads, there are currently less than 2,000 in the entire Southern Wilderness, most of which
The key structures were all handmade directly by Zhao Cheng.
He didn't have the talents of the immortals, Buddhas, or saints in the upper realm, so he could only continue his old profession as a Taoist, and do some decisive things by himself.
But there is no doubt that in this world, for now, Taoists are the primary productive force.
As long as you have the blueprints and enough magic power, you can make anything by hand and directly practice it to create all things.
This time, half of the entire Southern Wilderness inventory was used up.
But it's all worth it.
Important resources are used in the most critical places, and this is undoubtedly the most critical place.
Otherwise, Cao Zheng would not have had the idea that he might annihilate Zhao Cheng's trump card here.
If Zhao Cheng didn't have rockets in hand, it would be really possible for all the ace troops to be trapped here in this situation.
When Zhao Cheng saw this, he did not speak directly. Instead, he looked at Cao Zheng, who was stunned.
In the memory of his Taoist body, when he traveled through time, he had a glimpse of 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 completely messed up, and it can only be used as a reference.
But with reference, Zhao Cheng understood more and more that everything depends on human effort.
Before time travel, he had read a lot of time travel works, and they always liked to talk about the argument that history cannot be changed and is immutable. Even if he could be an emperor, he still had to support another emperor. What to say, being an emperor is too tiring, and he
He wanted to be a carefree and powerful minister, and even sworn brothers with the emperor, as befitting a brother.
But the reality is, fortunately in the story, if it is true, if you have the opportunity to become emperor and don't do it, then there is no such thing as taking a step back and the world will be brighter. You can only take a step back and the nine tribes will be wiped out.
It is the most stupid thing to entrust the life of your whole family to the so-called brotherhood and luck.
Therefore, since time traveling, Zhao Cheng has never had the idea of making friends with the Destiny Child in his original trajectory and then assisting him.
Throughout history, this kind of thing is downright stupid.
Think about how many of the founders of the past dynasties killed many of their brothers?!
But now, the destined son of this world is kneeling in front of him at this moment, shouting "Your Majesty!"
