Chalm didn't get a chance to say "prepare to fire," or perhaps he did say it, but it was drowned out by a louder voice.

Because the giant grenade buried at his feet went off.

Once the haystack caught fire, it quickly ignited the pine resin in the ditch. The grenade's fuse was buried in the pine resin, causing it to detonate naturally.

According to Jing Zhe's estimation, a giant hand grenade can cause damage to an area within a radius of at least ten meters, demonstrating its immense power.

Because Chamu was eager to make a contribution, he rode a yak to the front alone, and then dismounted from the yak, essentially standing naked on a giant grenade, to consume one by himself.

So after the grenade exploded, he wasn't even left with a complete body; his flesh was instantly mangled and scattered all over the ground.

The yak behind him also perished, because in addition to the damage from the shockwave, the greater damage came from the sharp metal fragments inside the grenade.

The yak was right behind Chalm, so most of the iron plates pierced through the yak's armor and embedded themselves in the yak meat.

"Cheep~"

Yaks have thick hides and tough flesh; when have they ever been subjected to such stimulation?

It suddenly went berserk, let out a mournful howl, and then frantically lunged backward. Unfortunately, it had too many wounds and was bleeding even more, so it collapsed after only a few steps.

The heavy cavalry behind him watched this scene in complete silence.

Seeing their companion die tragically, the yaks beneath them became restless and began to sway. Fortunately, the cavalrymen tightened their reins to stabilize them.

"This is...heavenly lightning?"

At that moment, someone in the crowd asked in a low voice.

"No way, thunder comes from the sky, but this clearly made a sound on the ground. It's more like a landmine!"

"Landmines... are just as powerful as lightning!"

After these words were spoken, a silence fell over the crowd. Everyone looked at the spot where Chalm had just stood. There was a large, dark crater in the ground, and Chalm was nowhere to be seen. All that remained were some mangled, bloody fragments, a sight both terrifying and nauseating…

The cavalrymen in the front row who saw Chamu explode on the spot were immediately filled with panic.

...

"So, do you believe I can summon heavenly lightning now?"

"..."

Jing Zhe said with a smile.

Because Chamu Station was located relatively close to the city wall, only one giant grenade was buried there at the time, while the other grenades were buried behind it, where the advance troops were stationed.

"Nobody's talking? Then I'll find someone else for you!"

"No, we believe you, we believe you!"

A general waved and shouted from the crowd.

With the strength of the heavy cavalry regiment, they were not afraid to fight any army or even a sect head-on. However, the key was that Jing Zhe's methods were too strange and unheard of. Moreover, Chamu's death was too cruel, and the thousand general was already afraid.

"Believe what? He must have used some kind of sorcery!"

"Archers, prepare!"

"I'd like to see whether his sorcery is stronger or our rockets are more powerful!"

As he spoke, apart from the archers under Chalm's command, the archers behind the other thousand generals also drew their bows and prepared to fire their arrows.

"You, come here!"

Jing Zhe pointed to the first general who said "trust".

"I?"

The commander was somewhat uneasy. He had a good relationship with Chamu, and seeing Chamu's sudden death left him feeling unsettled. When Jing Zhe pointed at him, he actually rode the yak a few steps forward. Perhaps the yak was also afraid of its dead companion, and it stopped when it reached them.

"Cowardly Kadan!"

"He wants to be king? Dream on!"

"Let's shoot that guy surnamed Jing dead, then storm the city!"

"Whoever kills the most people is the king!"

The last sentence completely ignited the other generals. After cursing the general who had been singled out by Jing Zhe, they ordered the arrows to be fired.

And this is the moment Jing Zhe has been waiting for!

He leaped from the city wall and flew towards the crowd, but instead of flying into the middle of the crowd, he landed directly above them.

"Shoot him! Shoot him!"

Jing Zhe's sudden flight caused a great deal of panic.

The archers immediately turned their arrows and shot at Jing Zhe.

But with Jing Zhe's lightness skill, how could he possibly be hit by their arrows?

Jing Zhe flew higher and higher, while the rockets, after tracing a parabolic trajectory, fell straight down.

Upon seeing this, the cavalry below quickly dodged, fearing they would be injured by the falling rockets.

The rocket landed and instantly ignited the thatch.

It was only then that the heavy cavalry regiment noticed that there was a thin layer of thatch under their feet, which they had not seen before, or had seen but not paid attention to.

What's so scary about thatch?

But now things are different. The thatch catches fire and burns wildly, burning large areas at once. Nearly one-fifth of the front of the camp has become a sea of ​​fire.

Someone finally realized something was wrong.

If it's just thatch, how could it burn so quickly?

There must be pine resin down there!

They instantly recalled the scene before Chamu's death, where the thatch began to burn, followed by a loud bang.

Then some people began to feel fear and wanted to escape the sea of ​​fire beneath their feet. The yaks, already frightened by the fire, ran around wildly, but there were yak riders everywhere, so where could they run to?

"boom!"

"boom!!"

"boom!!!"

With three loud bangs, the entire sea of ​​fire exploded. Jing Zhe had already returned to the city wall and took the opportunity to approach Liu Jinghong, reaching out to cover her ears.

Liu Jinghong did not stop him. After looking at him for a while, she reached out and covered his ears.

Covering their ears was like blocking out the whole world; the thunder and wails outside the city were irrelevant to them...

...

The heavy cavalry regiment was in complete disarray.

Nearly two hundred giant grenades were buried outside the city. The kill radius of a single giant grenade could cover an area of ​​about ten meters. Although the cavalrymen were densely packed, the yaks and armor provided some protection, so in reality, a single grenade could only cause devastating damage to four or five people.

Others nearby were at most cut by the blades in the grenades, but even so, the scene was still very chaotic, with people falling and animals crashing down wherever the grenades exploded.

The cavalrymen who were not hit by the grenade were also thrown off the yaks and trampled by the startled yaks, suffering "non-combat injuries," which was very unfortunate.

These past few days, Jing Zhe hadn't even been able to touch Liu Jinghong's hand, let alone her ear. Only after all the grenades had exploded did he reluctantly release his hands from Liu Jinghong's ears.

Meanwhile, the Jinghong Iron Cavalry and Jing Zhe's disciples and followers in the city also gathered at the city gate as instructed.

Strangely, besides them, a large number of soldiers appeared on the street, carrying flags with the characters "衢" and "甬" printed on them.
