Chapter 209 Xiu'er, another meteorite fell from the sky, but it didn't hit you
The Northern Zhou army was approaching little by little. With the order from the commander-in-chief, the soldiers of the firearms battalion all aimed forward and pulled the trigger. For a moment, the air was filled with smoke and the sound of gunfire was endless.

"Ah--" The soldiers in the front row fell off their horses one after another, screaming in pain.

"What the hell, what's going on?"

"What did the Qi army take?"

"It can't be a witchcraft, run!"

……

Many Northern Zhou soldiers were faced with firearms they had never seen before. Some were confused and at a loss, while others were so frightened that they fled in panic. For a time, the army was in chaos.

"Brother King, thanks to you for bringing firearms to my Great Qi, we were able to defeat the enemy without losing a single soldier." Lanling Wang looked at the battle situation on the front line through a telescope, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a proud smile.

"Of course, this is called a dimensionality reduction attack." Although Wang Mang had a smile on his face, he felt extremely regretful in his heart, wondering why he didn't bring anything with him when he traveled through time for the first time.

As long as he could bring a few guns with him, Liu Xiu would call him dad.

Meanwhile, the Northern Zhou commander was in a state of panic, constantly issuing orders and reorganizing his troops. He had heard that Northern Qi had developed firearms, but he had never imagined they would be so powerful.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow quickly!"

However, the range of the Northern Zhou's most powerful crossbows was only a hundred steps away, which could not hurt the Qi army at all. Moreover, under the enemy's firepower suppression, the army could not advance at all.

"Marshal, if it doesn't work, let's retreat. There are too many casualties and we can't even organize the team." A Northern Zhou general advised.

"Alas, this is the only way."

The Northern Zhou commander was about to order a withdrawal when there was a sudden rumbling thunder from the sky, followed by fine raindrops falling.

Wang Mang looked at the gloomy sky and his face darkened.

"Oh no, it's raining. I hope it's not too heavy."

"Are firearms afraid of rain?" asked Lanling Wang.

"The firearms we make ourselves are not that sophisticated. They will easily misfire when exposed to water."

A few minutes later, the drizzle turned into a heavy downpour. The ground was covered with mud and everyone's clothes and armor were soaked.

"Your Majesty, most of the muskets on the front line are out of service." A soldier came running to report the news.

"Oh no, the thing I was most worried about happened." Wang Mang secretly complained why he was so unlucky. Last time he encountered a meteorite, and this time he encountered heavy rain.

"Huh? The Qi army seems to have stopped firing." The Northern Zhou commander looked into the distance, his expression slightly relaxed.

"Could it be that the heavy rain put out their fire?" said the military advisor beside him.

"That's right, firearms are afraid of water. God is helping me. We don't have to retreat today!"

The Northern Zhou commander ordered his troops to reorganize quickly and approach the Qi army while the enemy's firearms were silent.

"Xiao Gao, they are coming!" Wang Mang panicked a little when he saw the approaching army through the telescope.

"It doesn't matter. I didn't have firearms before, but I could still lead my troops to victory." Lanling Wang put on his sword and turned to mount his horse.

"Xiao Gao, you are the emperor now. What if something happens to you?"

"As the Emperor, I must lead the troops," Lanling Wang said with a firm gaze. "I have arranged a team of troops to escort you back to the capital safely if the front lines are defeated."

“I can’t just abandon you and run away, what would that make me?” Wang Mang said with a look of resistance. “Brother Wang, you come from the future and bear the responsibility of revitalizing our Great Qi. You must not make any mistakes. Regardless of whether I can return or not, please continue to develop science and technology and benefit the people.”

After Lanling Wang finished speaking, he shouted, "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!", and rode away on his horse.

"Hey, Xiao Gao, you must be careful, your son is still so young." Wang Mang shouted at Lanling King's back, but his voice was drowned out by the heavy rain.

As the sounds of fighting came, Wang Mang suddenly remembered that Su Jiahe had also given him a talisman.

"Forget it, whether it works or not, let's try it."

Wang Mang clasped his hands together, held the yellow talisman in between, and prayed to the sky continuously.

"God bless Xiao Gao and let him return safely, and let Northern Qi win this battle."

However, the sky in the distance grew even darker. Then, a loud noise came from the distance, as if something was hitting metal, and there seemed to be many people shouting.

Wang Mang quickly climbed to a higher point and, looking through his telescope, saw a very familiar scene. Countless egg-sized meteorites fell from the sky, smashing countless soldiers into a panic and forcing them to flee. Many war horses, startled, ran amok among the troops.

However, this time all the meteorites fell on the enemy side.

"Oh my god, this is impossible!" Wang Mang rubbed his eyes, unable to believe that this scene was real.

"Oh heaven, oh earth, who is this kindhearted fairy lady? It's true that fortunes change over time. Don't despise the young and poor. Amitabha, Amen, Hallelujah, it turns out that Liu Xiu was so cool back then."

Wang Mang could not contain his excitement and celebrated by dancing in the heavy rain.

"Xiu'er, did you see that? Another meteorite fell from the sky. What a pity you weren't there!"

"Holy crap, what's going on? Why are rocks falling from the sky?"

The opposing soldiers were completely stunned, many of them struck by the meteorite, instantly losing their combat capability. Most of the remaining soldiers abandoned their armor and weapons and simply sought shelter, and the newly assembled troops fell apart again.

The Northern Zhou commander stared at the meteor shower falling from the sky, his eyes wide open and he was speechless for a long time.

"Marshal, make a decision quickly." The general who came to report the battle situation said anxiously.

"Oh, let's retreat."

In the Battle of Dingyang, Northern Qi defeated Northern Zhou, and King Lanling led his soldiers back to the court in victory.

When Su Jiahe learned that the Northern Zhou army had encountered a meteorite, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"Brother Wang, later generations have said that Liu Xiu is the son of the plane. It turns out that you are the great mage."

"Maybe I'm destined to have a meteorite. When I'm unlucky, it hits me, and when I'm lucky, it hits the opponent. But to be honest, your Quanzhen Sect amulet is really effective. I'm grateful for its blessing this time." Wang Mang took out the amulet and returned it to Su Jiahe.

"I told you it works. Don't forget to bring it with you next time you go to war." Su Jiahe carefully put the amulet away.

"Jiahe, how have you been doing at work recently?"

"I've been very busy lately. I have to open schools, write teaching materials, popularize health knowledge, and also pay attention to the progress of promoting science and technology. Alas, it's really not easy to change the world." Su Jiahe sighed.

"Of course it's not easy, but we have to do something. We can't just sit back and do nothing."

“Indeed, helping others brings a kind of happiness that cannot be experienced.”

After Lanling Wang returned to the palace, he held a celebratory banquet and invited his soldiers to celebrate together. There was a lively and peaceful atmosphere inside and outside the palace.

Meanwhile, in the Northern Zhou court, Emperor Yuwen Yong sat on the dragon throne with a sullen face, saying nothing. The entire court, both civil and military officials, were trembling with fear, and no one dared to say anything.
