Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Little thing, you forced me to do this. I didn't want to show you this thing."

Liu Chuang chuckled.

This is a cannon. It has a long range and is filled with nitro explosives.

He commanded the two centurions behind him to follow him to the edge of the troops, moved the muzzle of the gun little by little, and aimed directly at Huang Liangmu.

"what are you doing!?"

Huang Liangmu was startled.

In fact, it’s not his fault that he is timid. It’s just that the black gun barrel is too scary.

The barrel of an ordinary musket is only as thick as a finger.

As for him, the barrel of his gun is almost as big as a watermelon.

Anyone who is pointed at with such a terrifying cannon would break out in a sweat.

"Release! Release quickly!"

In a hurry, Huang Liangmu quickly commanded everyone to release the crossbows.

"Come on, shoot!"

Liu Chuang laughed out loud.

There are only two people in Daqian who can carry a cannon, one of whom is Chang Baishan, who is known as the best martial artist in the world.

The other one is Qin Ming, who is the best in the world in terms of internal strength.

If either of them were here.

They would not give Huang Liangmu time to release the crossbow arrow.

Liu Chuang called a few people and did not use the gun carriage. It took some time for him to carry the gun barrel together, which gave the other party the opportunity to shoot arrows.

A confrontation began between the two sides, and the opponent's cold weapons were obviously inferior to the powerful firearms in Liu Chuang's hands.

Just at the moment of collision, they suffered a great impact.

The power of cannons is no longer comparable to that of ordinary artillery.

It is loaded with nitro explosives.

When it hit the ground, it wiped out all the soldiers within a radius of thirty feet, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Fortunately, Huang Liangmu ran fast.

He had already run dozens of feet before the enemy's bomb landed, otherwise he would have definitely lost his life.

But even so, the huge impact force still blew him away for a long distance.

Sitting on the ground, covered in dust, he quickly turned over and stood up.

He looked at the black gun barrel in front of him in disbelief, his face full of shock.

"How can there be such a weapon?"

Huang Liangmu was a general under Mu Liuming, so naturally he firmly supported Hua Yunhong.

Therefore, in the court they have always implemented the principle of giving priority to mechanical technology and secondary to science and technology.

But today, after seeing Daqian's technological means.

Their mechanical skills were of no use at all.

There are only a few masterpieces of mechanical engineering, and the automatic crossbows they brought out today are one of the pinnacles of mechanical engineering.

But even so, the lethality is not enough in the face of the enemy's artillery.

If they had to compete, they would probably have to use dozens of these crossbows to inflict the same level of damage on the other side.

But it was obvious that they could never get so many things together.

Whether in terms of flexibility or lethality, they are far behind the opponent.

"It's so strong, I'm about to vomit blood."

In the distance, Liu Chuang's legs felt weak and he threw the gun barrel aside.

The two centurions behind him were also in pain, with blood coming out of their nostrils.

That kind of cannon had to be carried by people in addition to the gun carriage, but the huge recoil made it very difficult for the three of them to carry it.

Even Liu Chuang almost couldn't stand after firing a shot, let alone the two centurions behind him.

"Keep shooting, don't give them any more chances."

Liu Chuang roared and then collapsed to the ground.

The Fire Camp troops behind him immediately rushed forward to clean up the mess.

Huang Liangmu, who had been frightened silly just now, finally came to his senses at this moment.

He immediately ordered his troops to charge forward, as they were unable to fight the enemy with long-range weapons.

Then we must engage in close combat so that their anger cannot have any effect.

Only in this way can there be a glimmer of hope for victory.

As they rushed forward quickly, round after round of machine gun fire began.

Even though they were wearing armor, it was still very difficult for the troops from the Shenmu Kingdom to get close.

They encountered the same situation as Linghu Yuan just now.

"How could this be?"

It seemed that even getting close to his troops had become a luxury.

As long as you get within a hundred feet of the enemy, you will be quickly shot by machine guns and die.

Huang Liangmu's voice was trembling a little, and now he began to doubt whether the path they were taking was correct.

But he had no time to think. The most important thing now was to find an opportunity to escape.

"Stop fighting, retreat quickly and call other troops to support you. You must retreat."

The pressure that Huang Liangmu and his colleagues are under is actually very great.

Originally, the imperial court did not agree with Hua Yunhong's decision to go on an expedition, but Hua Yunhong insisted on his own way and arranged a force of nearly 200,000.

There were also many logistical troops fighting with Qin Ming in the Western Regions.

Now, this group of vanguard troops originally hoped to enter the swamp and establish some merit.

At least this way the news would be passed back, which would help Hua Yunhong shut up those high-ranking officials in the court, but the reality was that they simply didn't have this opportunity.

Just by encountering Daqian's troops, they suffered such heavy casualties.

This is no longer a question of defeat.

Instead, they directly crushed the troops they were so proud of. All their dignity and prestige were gone.

Even if I fail, it can't be this kind of failure.

Huang Liangmu was now extremely frightened and he didn't dare to stay any longer.

Or maybe he didn't dare to continue facing the impending failure.

He could only pack up and run away first, pass the news back to Mu Liuming, and then let the general decide whether to continue to confront Daqian.

"General Liu, they are about to run away."

You see, as they were about to leave, several centurions immediately got up from the ground.

Ask Liu Chuang whether he wants to pursue him.

At this time, Liu Chuang had already led them through two consecutive battles.

All the soldiers were extremely tired and immediately waved their hands when they heard these words.

"Don't chase the desperate enemy. Their methods are much more powerful than those of the Western Region Alliance. Let's not get entangled with them here. Let them leave and let us rest first."

Liu Chuang's worries are justified.

When he was assisting Fang Yuanjian before.

He also once pursued the troops of the Shenmu Dynasty.

The opponent's methods of fighting and escaping were varied and very strange.

If you are not careful, you may fall into their trap.

To be on the safe side, it is better to repair it on the spot first.

They are not in a hurry now, after all, they have already occupied this important passage under Linghu Yuan's command.

As long as they can occupy this place, they don’t have to worry about no one coming to look for them.

"Yes."

In this way, Liu Chuang and his troops stayed where they were and did not pursue Huang Liangmu.

Having escaped, he rode away at full speed.

This time they did not continue patrolling in the same place.

Instead, he ran straight back to the camp.

Tell Mu Liuming about the powerful combat capability of the Daqian troops.
