Seeing the enemy's flying beasts and the enormous monsters that were specialties of various great commanderies, our army had long since grown accustomed to them. Qilin Commandery also produced quite a few strange species. Some were huge and possessed tremendous ramming power, while others excelled at flying and launching surprise attacks. However, when it came to overall strength and ability, they were still inferior to the Qilin Horses, which were only twice the size of ordinary horses. These hybrid quasi-Qilin horses were exceptionally outstanding in both mobility and carrying capacity. Han Shanshan had put her creative talent to use by having the horses carry the cumbersome Zhu Xian Cannons on their backs, instantly turning them into mobile artillery towers. In a major battle formation, they were not easy for the enemy to capture, yet possessed terrifying power.
Each Qilin Horse carried a Zhu Xian Cannon and a technical soldier. After seeing Han Shanshan's demonstration, I knew this thing would definitely become a trump card against the Emperor in the future. Therefore, in this battle, I naturally let it spearhead the assault.
The Zhu Xian Cannons of the Thousand Gates stood side by side at the front of the formation, looking eerie and bizarre. Ji Siping and the Four Great Feudal Lords had looked down on these things at the time, but it was precisely these weapons that had allowed Song Wanyi to win every battle and display unmatched might before she arrived at the commanderies beyond the pass.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the troops finished assembling and began advancing, the sound of the war drums gradually lengthened, and the great army let out a battle cry.
The sky was clear today, without even a trace of cloud. Beneath the clouds stretched nothing but a sea of trees and great mountains.
