This earth-shaking explosion happened so suddenly, so unexpectedly, without any signs or buffer, and the whole world began to shake violently.
It was far more than just a shaking. This earth-shaking explosion opened up a feast of horror.
The violent explosion blew dozens of Japanese pirates in the center of the explosion into pieces. Shapeless broken limbs, scattered pieces of flesh and bones, sticky body tissues, and hot and fishy blood fell from the sky.
Along with the explosion, hundreds of tiny lead and iron balls burst out, like a steel rainstorm, pouring down in all directions without warning.
This steel rainstorm, with the explosion point as the center, covered an area of nearly 100 meters in radius.
The Japanese pirates around them had not yet reacted before their bodies were pierced by lead and iron balls.
The densely packed lead and iron balls did not distinguish between thighs, arms, torsos or heads. They hit whatever they encountered. Under the violent explosion, these lead and iron balls were extremely powerful. The armor on the Japanese pirates looked like paper, and their bodies were no different from paper.
The Japanese pirates who were within a radius of 20 meters from the center of the explosion were immediately turned into sieves, with countless blood holes on their bodies. They didn't even have time to scream before their sinful death came to an end.
The Japanese pirates within a radius of thirty to fifty meters were not much better off. They had at least four or five holes on their bodies, and their arms, hands, torsos, heads and other parts were randomly hit. Those hit in fatal parts died on the spot, while those hit in non-fatal parts let out miserably screams, instantly losing the ability to resist, and fell to the ground screaming in agony, a life worse than death.
The Japanese pirates about sixty or seventy meters away seemed to be randomly selected in a lottery. The people were random, the severity of their injuries were random, and they screamed in pain.
It all happened in a flash.
Before people could react to the explosion and show their horror, another drastic change occurred.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom boom boom…”
One after another, earth-shaking and ground-shaking explosions sounded one after another, and the continuous rumbling sounds seemed to have opened the prelude to the end of the world. One after another, huge black fires emerged, and terrifying mushroom clouds mixed with earth, rocks and smoke rose up one after another. The rolled up dust and the smoke from the explosions covered the sky and the sun.
More than 20 explosions sounded almost at the same time, causing extremely violent damage, dozens of times more violent than the first explosion. The earth shook violently, the ground cracked, and the Japanese pirates' ships in the canal seemed to be playing bumper boats. The city of Suzhou was shaking, and the houses near the south of Suzhou were shaking as if they had been hit by an earthquake.
Every earth-shattering explosion brought down a rain of steel all around.
In an instant, tens of thousands of lead and iron balls covered the area within a hundred meters, drowning the Japanese pirates who were charging into the battle.
“Puff, puff, puff…”
The sound of weapons piercing through armor and flesh continued.
Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, smoke billowed into the sky, and the seven or eight thousand Japanese pirates who charged into the battle line did not even have time to resist. Corpses were scattered all over the ground, blood flowed like a river, and there were countless dying and wounded. Less than one in ten Japanese pirates were still standing at the scene.
It's quiet!
The whole world is quiet!
The scene was littered with corpses, broken limbs, and blood flowing like a river, with only the wails that echoed through the sky rising and falling one after another.
The blood flowed into the canal nearby, dyeing the water red...
From the first explosion to the end of the continuous explosions, it only took the blink of an eye.
But in the blink of an eye, the world has changed!
Before the blink of an eye.
The boundless Japanese pirates were in high spirits and advanced one after another. The vanguard had reached the Zhejiang army's low wall, waving their weapons and stabbing the Japanese pirates behind the wall, as if they could raze the Zhejiang army's position to the ground in the next second.
After blinking.
The endless Japanese pirates were almost razed to the ground, corpses were everywhere, blood flowed like a river, and wailing sounds resounded through the sky. Only a few hundred lonely Japanese pirates stood there like dead souls, trembling like stupid quails.
"I'm dying, I'm dying! Oh my god, is this the King of Hell coming out from the underground?!"
"Devil, devil, the Zhejiang Army must be a devil, this is simply not something a human can do!"
"The Zhejiang Army knows witchcraft!"
"Shit, I remember now. Wasn't it said that the commander of the Zhejiang Army was the top scholar? Aren't top scholars the Wenquxing from heaven? Does he know magic?! Can he summon the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder from heaven?!"
The Japanese pirates army supporting the rear were frightened out of their wits by this scene. They turned pale, broke out in cold sweat, and their legs were shaking. They could hardly stand. Countless of them collapsed to the ground due to the explosion or fear, and many of them even wet their pants out of fear.
The Zhejiang Army had previously used muskets to shoot people, killing large numbers of them like cutting wheat. It was already very shocking and terrifying.
But compared with this scene, it's nothing.
This fucking place was cleared out immediately.
There were six or seven thousand people, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half of them died. Most of those who were not dead were injured, and almost all of them were killed.
We only have tens of thousands of people in total. How many times can they clear the area?!
The Japanese chieftains Xu Hai, Ma Ye, Chen Dong, etc., who were just chatting and laughing triumphantly, saying that the big thing had been decided and the Zhejiang army was finished, and discussing what to eat for breakfast, now had the smiles on their faces turned into horror and disbelief, their expressions were out of control, and the corners of their mouths were crooked.
"How could it be, how could it be... What is this?! So scary?!" Chen Dong's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out all over his body.
"Where are our people?! How can gunpowder be so powerful? Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Ma Ye was panicked and distraught, and he involuntarily took a few steps back.
"Damn it! The insidious, cunning and vicious Zhejiang Army! They deliberately pretended to be shaky and about to be conquered at any time, luring us to send a large army to charge! They waited for our army to gather together before detonating the gunpowder buried in the ground!"
"Zhu Ping'an! Very good! Very good! I, Xu Hai, will remember today's blood feud! I will pay you back a hundredfold!"
The corners of Xu Hai's mouth were bitten until they bled. With a ferocious face, he swore word by word, enunciating each word with blood.
The city of Suzhou in the distance was still shaking violently. A group of officials and soldiers clung to the wall, staring at the Zhejiang Army's Fengqiao Camp in amazement.
In the last second, they were still mourning for the Zhejiang Army and laughing at Zhu Ping'an for being too narrow-minded and pedantic to live and die with the position. But in the next second, everything turned upside down. Everything happened so unexpectedly. The earth shook, the mountains trembled, flames shot up into the sky, smoke billowed, as if thunder from the sky had fallen to the earth...
Until now, they have not recovered from the continuous and earth-shattering explosions just now. Huge clouds of smoke rose up in their sight. The screams of the Japanese pirates were carried to their ears by the wind. The Japanese pirates who were charging into the battle array like endless ants almost disappeared...
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight thousand Japanese pirates were wiped out, and the whole world became quiet...
In the distance, the Fengqiao Camp of the Zhejiang Army was like a towering mountain, as stable as Mount Tai!
The Zhejiang Army’s position is so strong that one man can block the passage of ten thousand men! Not a single Japanese pirate can pass through the Zhejiang Army’s position!
