Zhang Xun accepted the order and left shortly afterward.
Several dark cannons were then pushed onto the city wall.
The cannon muzzle was dark and menacing, like a giant beast ready to devour its prey.
It exudes a chilling and intimidating power.
The soldiers skillfully adjusted the angle and loaded ammunition.
A strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.
Chen Qingwan's curiosity was immediately piqued.
She casually tossed the remaining sunflower seed shells down.
Then, she ran excitedly to a dark cannon.
Its dark eyes darted around, circling it like a curious child.
Every now and then, I would reach out and gently touch the cold cannon barrel.
A metallic chill ran through my fingertips.
"Hey, how do you use this big thing?"
"What is its range? How powerful is it? How many people can one shot kill?"
"Won't the loud bang blow people to pieces?"
Her questions came out like cannonballs, their crisp sounds echoing in the wind.
The artilleryman next to him was taken aback by the question and didn't know how to answer it.
Although the soldiers found the girl somewhat strange, her behavior was not like that of a lady from a respectable family.
Judging from her luxurious clothes and extraordinary demeanor, she must be a noblewoman from some wealthy family.
He patiently answered all her questions.
"Reporting to you, young lady, this Heaven-Shaking Thunder is a newly developed weapon from our Shannan Prefecture,"
"Its range is a full two miles, and its power is astonishing,"
"One shot is enough to raze a small house to the ground..."
Chen Qingwan listened with great interest, occasionally letting out exclamations of "Oh, oh."
His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he had discovered a new continent.
I was filled with curiosity about this powerful cannon.
If this were equipped on my army, would any enemy dare to oppose me?
They've already unified the world!
She would touch the cannon barrel for a while, and then lean closer to the muzzle to look inside.
I can't wait to experience the power of this earth-shattering thunder.
Looking at her enthusiastic expression, Lu Yan couldn't help but find it a little funny.
This girl is really heartless.
"Sir, the enemy has entered firing range!"
Zhang Xun's voice rang in my ears, trembling with a hint of excitement.
Lu Yan's smile vanished, and his eyes instantly turned sharp.
Like a drawn sword, its cold light is chilling.
"fire!"
His command, though deep and powerful, resounded like thunder on the city wall.
The deafening roar of cannons instantly echoed through the sky, and the earth seemed to tremble slightly.
Several thunderbolts simultaneously spewed out furious flames, and shells roared out one after another.
It pierced the sky, trailing thick black smoke.
Carrying the scent of death, it crashed down hard on the Javanese army.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The shells exploded in the enemy lines, kicking up clouds of smoke and fire.
It was as if the gates of hell had been opened, devouring all life.
Soil, gravel, and severed limbs flew everywhere, accompanied by screams, wails, and the neighing of warhorses.
They intertwine to form a brutal symphony of war.
The once-aggressive Javanese army was thrown into chaos.
Like a beach battered by giant waves, it crumbled completely.
Amidst the billowing smoke, Javanese soldiers could be seen being blown to pieces.
Some were blown to pieces alive, while others rolled on the ground in agony and howled.
Some fled in terror, abandoning their armor and weapons, looking utterly disheveled.
The warhorses, startled, galloped wildly, trampling their own men and adding to the chaos of the battlefield.
Chen Qingwan clapped her hands excitedly, her eyes gleaming with an unusual light.
Do you now know the strength of my Great Tong Dynasty? One round of attacks and you'll be running for your lives.
Suddenly, two little figures popped into her mind. One of them, hands on hips, said:
"This is the strength of Shannan Prefecture, okay?"
The other villain, not to be outdone, retorted:
"Isn't Shannan Prefecture mine?"
The two little people argued back and forth, making a huge fuss.
Chen Qingwan was so confused by their noise that she shook her head vigorously.
She flung the two little figures that were fighting in her head out of her mind.
Lu Yan observed the battlefield with a solemn expression.
They were not at all blinded by the victory before them.
He knew this was only the first wave of attacks, and the battle was far from over.
"Load ammunition, prepare for the next salvo!"
He gave the order again, his tone cold and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
The artillerymen sprang into action and skillfully loaded the ammunition.
Adjust the angle, prepare to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
The Javanese army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
The Javanese general stood on a distant high ground, his face ashen.
Seeing his army being bombed and reduced to hordes of men and horses, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Damn Lu Yan! How dare he use such despicable means!"
He roared, his eyes burning with hatred.
He originally thought that with his strong military force, he could easily break through Shannan Prefecture.
But no one expected that Lu Yan would possess such a terrifying weapon.
A general beside him cautiously approached and tentatively asked:
"General, what do we do now...?"
The Javanese general turned his head sharply and glared at him.
The general was so frightened that he shrank back and almost wet his pants.
He said through gritted teeth:
"What should we do? Continue the attack, of course!"
"Shannan Prefecture is just a small place. I don't believe that his strange stuff is inexhaustible!"
"Pass down the order: maintain formation, charge in, and raze Shannan Prefecture to the ground!"
