Unexpectedly, the eldest princess sneered when she heard this: "Who said I want to surrender?"

"Master Xu, open their eyes!"

What vision?

After hearing this, the court generals suddenly felt an uneasy premonition in their hearts, as if something was about to get out of control.

Next second.

Master Xu smiled and glanced at the imperial troops opposite, then lit the fire himself.

Under the witness of 50,000 troops.

"boom!"

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a loud earth-shaking noise.

These imperial soldiers were standing densely together, making them extremely easy to aim at. A cannonball hit the center of the army accurately.

Suddenly, four or five soldiers were killed on the spot, and the soldiers who were closer were also affected by the artillery fire to varying degrees, resulting in a large number of casualties.

Heart-wrenching cries echoed through the city gate: "Ah! My hands hurt so much!"

"Ah! What is this thing? Why is it so scary?"

“Help! Help!”

"My legs, ahhh my legs are gone!!"

Guan Pei looked at the soldiers, who were completely disgraced and shouting, and drew his sword with a swish, shouting, "Anyone who dares to disrupt the morale of the army will be executed!"

Seeing the cold gleam of the knife in the sun, the surrounding soldiers swallowed their saliva in fear and immediately stood still.

There was a moment of silence.

Only the soldiers whose arms were injured by the explosion and the soldiers who were burned were still lying there wailing quietly.

Guan Pei looked at the five pitch-black cannons with complicated eyes.

He had heard from officials attending the court that there was a magical weapon in the future that could destroy half of the palace with a single bang.

Could this be the magical weapon of later generations?

Although Guan Pei had never seen the live broadcast with his own eyes, nor had he seen the magical weapons of later generations, he also knew that this thing was far inferior to that thing of later generations.

At most, it's just something that hasn't taken shape yet!

Guan Pei straightened his back, thinking to himself, "I have an army of 50,000 men, and Vice General Qin is attacking from the side gate. How can I lose? I absolutely cannot let this thing scare me away."

If an army of 50,000 were to charge at once, even with powerful weapons, they would not be able to kill them all at once.

Thinking of this, Guan Pei immediately gave the order.

"Don't be afraid. This thing is powerful, but it can't be fired immediately, and there are only a limited number of them! Hold the position for me! No retreat allowed!"

"Attack the city! The first one to enter will be rewarded..."

The eldest princess stood on the city wall, looking down at the 50,000 soldiers who were intoxicated by the reward.

She had only let Master Xu fire one shell just now, more to intimidate them.

Let them give up when they see the difficulty!

But seeing that this group of people still wanted to attack the city regardless of the consequences after hearing the general's inspiring words, the eldest princess signaled to Master Xu not to hold back.

beat! ! !

"fire!"

At Master Xu's command, five cannons were fired at the same time.

"Boom!" The soldier at the front was blown away.

"Boom!" The soldiers rushing in the second echelon were blown away.

"boom!"

The continuous noises frightened the war horses, causing them to run back and trample on many soldiers who were rushing behind them.

The bombs kept booming.

The war horses were so frightened that they stamped back.

The soldiers fought among themselves and suffered countless casualties.

It's a mess!

It’s a mess!

Everything is messed up!

“Ah!!! Run—”

"My hand! Ah! My hand!"

"Horse! Horse, don't come over here! Ah!! My legs, my legs are broken! General, General!"

“Boom—”

"Beast, stop it!"

In an instant, people and horses were thrown to the ground, some were killed by cannon fire, some were trampled to death by frightened horses. This was the first time that the 50,000-strong army encountered such a situation, and they threw down their weapons and armor in an instant.

The soldiers were in chaos.

Even one or two generals were killed in the explosion.

"Retreat quickly!"

“Damn it!!” The trainee didn’t even have the chance to say anything harsh, and hurriedly shouted to retreat.

The soldiers' fighting spirit has been disrupted, so what's the point of fighting?

Originally, an army of 50,000 could have won by sheer numbers if they had just barged in. However, they were frightened and retreated as soon as they showed their heads. What was the point of their fight?

"Oh my god, we won!"

"Long live the Princess!"

"Hahaha, Miss Gu's cannon is really useful. It kills a bunch of people with one shot. Great! Great! Kill these running dogs of the imperial court!"

Seeing the 50,000-strong army being defeated, the people in the city suddenly burst into exclamations that were louder than the last.

They shouted, were excited, and hugged the people around them and cried with joy.

All the worries and anxieties disappeared with this great victory.

When the eldest princess heard the cheers from the city, a trace of caution crossed her face.

She looked at the connected screen and locked eyes with Gu Sang. "Today is Plague City's first battle. The cannon's deterrent power is indeed quite impressive. We won!"

"The imperial court didn't expect me to develop something like a cannon, so we caught them off guard."

"Next time, it won't be so easy!"

Gu Sang nodded: "Take your time. Today is a good start. In the future, as long as food supplies keep up and technology develops, replacing Pei Changying will be easy."

The eldest princess sighed, "This cannon is useful, but every time it's used, there's one less shell. This cannon is too expensive!"

"If the cannons were available, I would dare to fire directly at Pei Changying's palace."

The eldest princess thought that if Pei Changying saw the cannon she developed, he would be so scared that his legs would go weak.

But unfortunately, these cannons are not enough!

Ultimately, there is not enough money.

The counselors listened to the eldest princess's sigh and nodded in agreement. Now that they had so many soldiers to support, they were no longer short of food, but they were still short of money.

"I really envy your country. How come it's so rich? All kinds of drones and missiles are like free." Zhou Qichen brought the tied-up Deputy General Qin to the top of the city wall.

"Princess, this guy led 50,000 soldiers to ambush at the South Gate. Now I have captured him. Please, Princess, decide what will happen to him."

"Very good, General Zhou. The special forces you trained are beyond my expectations." The eldest princess first praised Zhou Qichen, and then looked at Deputy General Qin.

Deputy General Qin's face was covered in dust. He looked at the princess with complicated eyes, then glanced at Gu Sang, and closed his eyes as if he was determined to die.

The eldest princess chuckled, "General Qin, why aren't you the one leading the 50,000-man army to attack the city this time?"

When Deputy General Qin saw the eldest princess and Gu Sang were both there, he could not help but lower his head in silence.

Of course not him!

He had been dismissed from his position as general long ago!

Seeing that Deputy General Qin remained silent, Zhou Qichen, who was standing beside him, understood a little and immediately sneered, "Did that idiot Pei Changying demote you? This time, he's asking you to redeem yourself by making meritorious contributions, right?"

"Old Qin! I've said it before, Pei Changying is not worthy of your following."

"Last time at the city gate, Miss Gu and the Princess repeatedly urged you to let... Well, let's not talk about it."
