Some of the Annamite soldiers, though not killed immediately, looked down at the suddenly appearing bloody holes in their bodies. The intense, burning pain left them utterly bewildered; what had happened?

The general from Anlan Kingdom hurriedly grabbed several soldiers around him and pulled them in front of him. Although he didn't know what was going on, hiding behind these soldiers made him feel a little more at ease.

At the same time, he looked around and saw that two or three thousand of his Annamite soldiers had fallen in an instant.

This sudden and terrifying scene was hard for him to accept, and this situation was still ongoing.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Annamite soldiers fell. Some died immediately, while others, though not dead, clutched their inexplicably appearing wounds and screamed in agony.

More often, there were Annamite soldiers holding their broadswords, bewildered and unsure of what to do or what the situation was like.

In the midst of the chaos, the Annamite general suddenly noticed that all the Ming soldiers surrounding them were wielding long iron poles, from which smoke was rising intermittently. The sound was coming from the iron poles in the soldiers' hands.

He immediately understood that this was definitely some kind of extremely powerful weapon from the Ming Dynasty.

Then, after careful consideration, he remembered that he had previously received information that the Ming Dynasty had a very powerful firearm called a fire cannon.

It can launch iron pellets by igniting gunpowder, which can either kill or seriously injure people who are hit by them.
