   Three thousand men against forty thousand. They held out for seven days and seven nights. When their swords were worn down, they bit them with their teeth. When their arrows ran out, they threw bricks. When their hand grenades were detonated, they fought with bayonets. The last three hundred men stood on the crumbling city wall, facing the dark mass of the enemy army, raising the scorched eagle banner. No one retreated. Not a single one. Zhao Heng, his left hand severed, his tiger's mouth split open, covered in blood, leaned against the city wall, grinning: "Killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus." This wasn't some famous general's battle example. This was Cangwu. A small, dying kingdom. Eight thousand remnants of the army, facing the Liang Kingdom's 150,000-strong army. No food, no iron, no reinforcements. All they had was a transmigrated, useless king, a tech-savvy Mohist girl, a woman of pirate origin, a stubborn but soft-hearted old general, and an old eunuch who constantly chanted, "As long as the king is here, Cangwu is here." They invented the repeating crossbow. They invented the hand grenades. They invented tempered steel. They invented the water-powered forging hammer. They invented the silver standard. They invented national bonds. They invented the Cangwu Bank. They invented everything that could sustain them. But in the end, it was still people who mattered. It was Zhao Heng who stood on the city wall, seven days and seven nights without sleep. It was Lin Mu who kept chopping even with a broken finger. It was A'gu who returned from the sea, saying, "Naval forces can also fight on land." It was Mo Sheng who squatted in the ruins all night, drawing up the blueprints for the delayed fuse. It was three thousand soldiers, whose names were never recorded, who gave their lives in Yunzhong County. This isn't a wish-fulfillment story. This is passion. It's one person defending a city. It's three thousand people defending a nation. It's Cangwu not believing in tears.
