All cannons were the same, as long as they were of good quality. Wanshan's unique mix of gunpowder and proportions allowed them to fire shells farther than any other cannon of the era. Furthermore, Wanshan had set a specific quantity for the gunpowder, pre-packaged with paper. To fire, simply tear open the paper, pour the gunpowder, and place the shell. No experience or skill was required; at most, they were taught how to adjust the angle.
Boom boom boom! Several powerful explosions directly destroyed the artillery positions of the Chuang army. These were shrapnel shells, and the gunners were directly reduced to pieces, and the artillery was directly blown into the sky and deformed.
This wasn't over yet. The second round of artillery fire was aimed directly at Li Yan's army formation. Li Yan had already seen how powerful the enemy's artillery fire was, so he was prepared. Before Zhao Xiaofei and his men could fire, he left his formation and went to the rear to command. Hong Niangzi watched Zhao Xiaofei and his men's artillery fire and was worried about her husband.
A few more explosions followed, and Li Yan's formation instantly turned into a living hell. The remains of men and horses were scattered everywhere, and the ground was stained purple and black with the blood of the enemies. It felt sticky and disgusting when you stepped on it.
Li Yan looked back, sweating with fear. His anger was aroused, and he shouted, "Archers, prepare! Shoot!"

"Wait a little longer! The governors of other places have not replied, and I feel uneasy!" Empress Dowager Zhou said this when the sound of arrow rain began outside.
"Empress Dowager! The Emperor is the legitimate son of the late Emperor. Who dares to say anything? If anyone dares to say anything, I will ask him to go down and ask the late Emperor!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"This world doesn't just rely on swords and guns!" said Queen Mother Zhou.
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself, "We have money and soldiers now, what are you afraid of? At worst, we can just start a new business and conquer each territory again! Who's not convinced? I'm here to deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction!"
