Cannons Cease, Hu Camp Crumbles Like Hemp; Black Armor Swings Blades, Blood Splatters Sand

Facing the arrow rain aimed at them by the Donghu cavalry, the Blood-Clad Army soldiers did not change expression. They still stood firmly in place, as if they had not seen those deadly arrowheads at all.

The artillerymen manning the cannons were even more unhurried. In an orderly manner, they completed the final loading procedures, then lit the fuses and quickly retreated several steps, quietly waiting for the instant the shells would fire.

Seeing this, the Donghu cavalry immediately burst into laughter, their tone even more contemptuous. "Look! Those bastards have been scared stupid by our momentum! They've actually given up struggling!"

"Hahaha! They must have never seen the fierce martial spirit of my Donghu iron cavalry. They were scared out of their wits on the spot!"

"A bunch of cowards! And they dared block our path? What a joke!"

But just as they were about to release their bowstrings and unleash their rain of arrows—

Those pitch-black cannon muzzles suddenly erupted with dazzling flames!

Immediately afterward, earth-shaking booms erupted one after another, like thunder rolling across the heavens, deafening to the ears. The entire Pinggang City shook violently beneath the thunderous blasts.

Rumble—!

Amid the violent roar, the warhorses beneath the Donghu cavalry were instantly startled. They wildly reared up on their hind legs, neighing as they spun in place, and the previously orderly charging formation immediately collapsed into chaos.

The riders could not control their panicked horses at all. One after another, they were thrown from their saddles and trampled beneath the cavalry charging from behind, their screams rising and falling without end.

Before they could recover from the chaos caused by the terrified horses, heavy iron shells were already whistling through the air, crashing into the Donghu cavalry formation with the force of withering dry wood
