Chapter 176 Fragmented
Cao Qian's men were on their way to attack the wall, holding shields and pushing carts, looking as if they were facing a powerful enemy, but were determined to make a desperate attempt to push down the wall.
But at this time the door of Panshi Academy opened.
Cao Qian was stunned on the spot. He didn't know whether he should gather his men to continue pushing down the wall, or kill all the gatekeepers and rush in directly after the door opened.
"General, something is wrong."
Before the adjutant finished speaking, a small cart was pushed out of the courtyard gate. On the cart was a cylinder that seemed to be made of iron.
"How dare you! You actually made iron tools privately. Now you are caught red-handed. Why don't you surrender quickly?" Cao Jin seized the opportunity and shouted loudly. The people around him rushed forward with him, using shields to protect themselves all the way, and were about to charge into the yard.
"Light the fire!" Someone in the yard shouted loudly in the darkness.
Fu Zichan could hear the noise inside even when he was sitting in the carriage. The martial artists around him had already relied on their skills to climb over the eaves and walls and try to cross the wall. Some of them were mixed in with the guards, ready to go in and kill.
Fu Zichan felt a chill down his spine, and a strong sense of unease washed over him. He didn't care whether this feeling was real or not. He pulled open the car curtain and said to his black-clad man, "Retreat! Leave quickly!"
The man in black obeyed completely, and those from the Moon Worship Sect who believed in him also turned their horses around, and the whole group galloped down the mountain.
"General! Some of the eldest prince's men have escaped!"
The adjutant was also nervous. He pulled Cao Qian, who was about to mount his horse, hoping that he would think twice before acting. However, the matter was already at this point. If he withdrew his troops again, how would he lead this private army in the future, and how would he explain to the Grand Princess?
"They deserted the battlefield, and their master will punish them. This time, we have siege vehicles in front of us, and shields escorting us on both sides. I don't believe they can still dismantle our vehicles."
boom! ! !
Cao Qian didn't even hear the last word he said before he felt dizzy and felt a strong wind lifting him and his adjutant up. The wind was so hot that it melted their clothes. The guards who had rushed in were also blown away by this strange heat wave.
No one knew what had hit the siege vehicle, and all its parts turned into broken wood chips, along with the explosives, and embedded into the bodies of many people around it.
The force was so strong that not only the people and cars at the door, but also the dense forest nearby was flattened at the same time. The ground was full of flames and broken wood, and even the land was sunken.
"Is this... this cannon so exaggerated?" Lai Shun was standing next to Han Zhi. His ears were deaf and his legs were weak with fear. He looked at the charred people on the ground outside. It was as if they had stolen the divine power from heaven and controlled fire and thunder.
Han Zhi smiled without saying anything, with shock-proof earmuffs on his ears. God knows how he felt after seeing these hot weapons. The six countries and foreign races were all shit. If they had such good things before, he would have blown those people into ashes long ago. There was no time for them to show off their power.
But a rubbish crown prince dared to force them to marry the princess. When they meet on the battlefield in the future, I will make sure to let them know what their rock-hard artifacts feel like.
However, even though they thought so, they were an academy after all. With such a miraculous weapon in hand, it was equivalent to wanting to leave this land. Han Zhi recalled the promises Qian Qiansui had made to him during this period, and he finally got the answer.
Regardless of whether the palace coup succeeds today, they don't want to be the victims anymore.
"General, this is amazing!"
"Hahahahaha, whoever dares to come, we will make sure they never come back!"
"I said this thing is better than a musket. That can only kill one person, but this can kill a whole area!"
"You started the fire this time, but next time it will be my turn!"
The firearms battalion specially selected by Qian Qiansui are talents that she and Deng Duo have carefully selected. These people not only have talent in firearms, but are also loyal to the academy, especially Qian Qiansui himself. Even if they leave this land, these people will follow them without hesitation.
As soon as Han Zhi raised his hand, these people immediately fell silent. The noise was so loud that the children in the academy would probably be woken up by then.
"Pack up, close the door and go back to rest!"
We can't just leave those people outside, whose lives or deaths are unknown, to rot in the open. We can pick up those who are still alive, give them some simple treatment, and even make them hostages.
"Yinzhu just delivered the news, saying that the lady gave birth to a girl, and both mother and daughter are safe." Lai Shun rubbed his ears and said excitedly.
Han Zhi said with a smile on his face: "Madam, you gave birth to a child faster than most people. It's not even dawn yet!"
"I want to go over and take a look. Chief Han, would you like to go over and take a look?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go over and congratulate them when they're done."
The gate of the courtyard was closed, and peace returned to Rock Mountain. The people inside gradually dispersed and were replaced by the guards on duty.
In the dark corner, there were three young men hiding. Wen Siqin was holding Ma Teng, with Wen Cheng tucked behind him.
"Did you see it just now? Did you see it clearly?"
Ma Teng pulled Wen Siqin and whispered anxiously.
"Look... I saw it..." Wen Siqin's voice was trembling. He wanted to stand up, but his whole body seemed to be limp. He collapsed halfway and collapsed on the ground, allowing the other two people to help him up.
"It's too loud. We don't even know what's going on outside. What the hell is that cannon they pushed to the gate? It can actually make people outside scream and cry."
Seeing that there was nothing to see at the door, Ma Teng and Wen Cheng took Wen Siqin back.
They had heard about such a big incident in the hospital today and had not slept at all. Worried, they simply ran out secretly. They originally thought there would be a fierce battle and even they might come forward to help. But who could have imagined that after just a few people took action, no one outside would survive.
"That's a lot of noise." Wen Cheng remained silent. As he walked back, he said worriedly, "Those things, let alone us, probably no one in the capital has ever seen them. Madam made these things. Will His Majesty... tolerate her?"
"If Madam wants to leave, I want to follow her!"
"You're crazy!" Ma Teng elbowed Wen Cheng and said in disbelief, "This is a serious matter. If they really want to leave, who would be willing to leave their parents behind? Don't be vague."
"Brother Mao Dong will definitely not stay... I... I also want to go out and take a look." Wen Cheng lowered his head and pushed open the dormitory door.
Wen Siqin and Ma Teng were stunned.
"Why don't you leave?" Wen Cheng looked up and asked in confusion.
No one responded to him, and he didn't need anyone to respond. This small courtyard, which was not particularly large, was now filled with people, all of whom were older students.
They were all attracted by the sound of artillery fire.
