The Resolve to Cooperate

After the twenty cannons fired a salvo, they went on to demonstrate chain shot and grapeshot. Although their range was considerably shorter than that of the round shot in the first volley, their more terrifying lethality and destructive effect were even more shocking.

According to Jiaoshi's understanding, the first attack had been unstoppable, capable of smashing through stockades and walls; the spinning chain shot could sweep across cavalry, while the final grapeshot was practically like hail, annihilating crowds!

The Tang Tribe, however, had a different interpretation. Seeing the cannons display their might before her, Tang Yao suddenly seemed to remember something, then leaned close to Tang Ji's ear and began whispering.

What she told Tang Ji was that she had once seen a huge ship in the Han Tribe. That ship seemed to have been loaded with many things like these. When the large vessel was being fitted out at the dock, she had personally seen many people hoisting cannons aboard.

Thus, Tang Ji gained an even clearer understanding of the Han Tribe's true strength. Come to think of it, compared with the army before them and those dozens of cannons, the cannons were obviously far more formidable.

After the cannon drills ended, the military formation changed again. The tactical column advanced several hundred meters, practiced changing formations, and then regrouped.

Blood Butcher once more demonstrated the Hollow Circle Formation, the concentric circle formation, the hollow square formation designed to work with archers, crossbowmen, and cannons against cavalry, as well as the Alley Formation used in conjunction with cannons.

The Alley Formation involved arranging several defensive square formations in a ring, leaving several passageways both horizontally and vertically. When the enemy was obstructed by the square formations, they would be forced to surge into the passageways within the larger formation.
