Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 461: Red Coat Cannon Displays Power, Cavalry’s Nightmare

Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Red Coat Cannon Displays Power, Cavalry’s Nightmare

"Ah... Ahhh..."

The battle on the Guan Mountain Plain became even more brutal. When Yelv Nuku led the cavalry into the fray, it was indiscriminate slaughter, cutting down everyone in sight with no one able to stop them.

Or rather, in Yelv Nuku’s eyes, this group of puppet army was not even considered his own people.

Chang En finally understood why the drums of retreat were sounding from the rear; it turned out the enemy’s cavalry had entered.

But this is too ruthless.

Not even sparing their own people.

"Retreat quickly..."

...

At the same time.

Outside the Chen Army’s camp, there stood a formation of one or two hundred people. Within the formation, nine heavy carts covered in black cloth were pushed out, leaving deep wheel marks in the muddy ground.

This was the first appearance of the Red Coat Cannon, which had been secretly developed in the military workshop of the Vermilion Bird Guard. Not many had seen it before.

Many soldiers scrutinized it for a moment, all extremely puzzled.

At this moment, the black cloth was pulled away.

Nine bizarrely shaped, heavy black iron tubes appeared before them.

This made them even more perplexed, not knowing what these things were.

"Make sure they’re all adjusted properly, don’t miss the aim," Chen Mo walked over, instructing the Vermilion Bird Guard soldiers adjusting the sight of the Red Coat Cannon.

The Vermilion Bird Guard was not only responsible for developing artillery but also for training the gunners.

"Rest assured, Marquis, we’ve been tinkering with it for a long time," a Vermilion Bird Guard soldier said.

Very soon, the Red Coat Cannons were adjusted.

The Vermilion Bird Guard soldier who spoke earlier brought over a small flag, handed it to Chen Mo, and said, "Marquis, please give the order to fire."

Chen Mo took the small flag, climbed the watchtower, and immediately ordered: "Fire!"

At this moment, Yelv Nuku, leading over a hundred cavalry, had already charged into the retreating Xianzhen Guard.

"Chang En, prepare to die..." The two had clashed yesterday, and once Yelv Nuku locked gaze with Chang En, he charged straight at him.

Just as he finished saying "prepare to die," a thunderous explosion roared behind him.

The sound was so overwhelming, it seemed to explode right beside his ear.

The warhorse under Yelv Nuku immediately got startled, halting abruptly, its front hooves raised high. If Yelv Nuku hadn’t grabbed the reins tightly in time, he might have been thrown off.

"What is this commotion?" Yelv Nuku’s pupils contracted, and a hint of shock arose in his heart.

At the Chen Army camp front, the Vermilion Bird Guard soldier responsible for lookout immediately turned back and said: "Hit."

"Very good, reload the nine cannons, and fire in unison."

The previous shot was just for testing, to check if the cannonball fell off target.

Seeing that the first shot had hit, the next step was a salvo of nine guns.

Just as Yelv Nuku was unaware of what was happening and was about to control his startled warhorse to continue chasing Chang En.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Nine deafening explosions echoed across the battlefield on the Guan Mountain Plain where the two armies clashed.

A long fiery python spewed from the plain, dazzling in the newly risen morning sun.

Riding in the distance two miles away, Tie Muer, prepared to enter at any moment, was startled by the noise, his warhorse underneath him neighed in fear, while his personal soldiers behind him were so shocked they fell from their horses, their faces filled with terror.

Tie Muer hastily lifted his Thousand-Mile Mirror to see what was happening.

...

Compared to Tie Muer’s shock, Yelv Nuku was stupefied.

In the cavalry formation behind him, several gaps were blasted open directly, with warhorses exploding into limbs in the firelight, and injured cavalry who survived the direct hit clutching their wounds, screaming in agony, while dozens more cavalry were thrown into disarray, bodies and horses alike.

The most significant impact was the astonishing explosion throwing Yelv Nuku’s cavalry formation into chaos, their warhorses panicking and crashing into one another.

The Vermilion Bird Guard soldier observing the situation couldn’t help but smile with excitement and shouted to Chen Mo, "Marquis, they’re in chaos, the enemy is in chaos."

Chen Mo maintained his composure and ordered Xia Zhining, "Zhi Ning, you take command here. I must go to the Brave Cavalry Guard."

Xia Zhining saluted Chen Mo and replied, "Yes."

This was war, so naturally, Xia Zhining wouldn’t treat Chen Mo as she did ordinarily.

She commanded, "Don’t just stand there, reload quickly."

"Yes."

...

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Another nine deafening explosions roused the stunned Yelv Nuku.

Understanding it was the Chen Army causing the commotion, although not knowing exactly what they were doing, he quickly assessed the situation.

The continuous thunderous explosions all struck the rear, without incident at the front, clearly indicating the Chen Army was avoiding friendly fire.

Yelv Nuku ordered, "Don’t be afraid. Charge forward."

However, after another nine earth-shattering explosions, the Jin Xia Cavalry was utterly panicked.

Never in their lives had they faced such a situation, many scattering like headless flies.

Though still, many obeyed Yelv Nuku’s order, ready to charge forward.

The warhorses beneath them, however, terrified and heedless of their masters, scrambled wildly with their riders.

Ultimately, only a small number made it to the Xianzhen Guard’s rear.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The drums from the Chen Army camp calmed and, at the same time, their command flags changed.

Seeing this, Chang En quickly halted, "Form ranks, prepare to engage."

In fact, without Chang En needing to say much, hearing the drum changes, seeing the flag signals, the Xianzhen Guard instinctively halted and formed the Obstacle Array with tacit understanding.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The Red Coat Cannon barrage continued, scattering and shaking nearly ten thousand horsemen, their warhorses too afraid to advance.

The Jin Xia Cavalry, terrified, became timid and hesitant.

Only the thousand-strong cavalry led by Yelv Nuku charged forth.

Cavalry, after all, was cavalry, too swift for the Xianzhen Guard to completely form the Obstacle Array, allowing Yelv Nuku’s forces to break through.

Soon, the earth-shaking explosions ceased.

The Jin Xia Cavalry, not yet utterly terrified, hurriedly rode after them.

Yelv Nuku quickly located Chang En, aiming to kill him to recover the situation.

"Prepare to die..."

Just as he spoke, not finishing his sentence.

A feathered arrow nailed straight into his brow.

Yelv Nuku was shot down from his horse, his eyes wide open, dying unfulfilled.

Not far to the right flank, Chen Mo, after shooting an arrow, drew another long arrow from his waist, nocked, drew, and aimed, a "whoosh" as the long arrow flew, hitting the forehead of a Jin Xia Cavalry marked with the red number 109 with divine precision, causing them to fall silently from their horse.

"The Marquis is a divine shooter..."

The Brave Cavalry Guard Captain Shao Jinneng, observing clearly, immediately flattered.

Chang En looked over, seeing it was Chen Mo who shot Yelv Nuku, involuntarily drawing a cold breath.

Yelv Nuku, whom he regarded as a formidable foe, was thusly shot by the Marquis.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter..."

The earth shook, and in the eyes of the Jin Xia cavalry, their eyeballs nearly popped out.

"A... Armored Cavalry..."
