The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1032

Chapter 1032: 496 Strongest Counterattack (First Update)

Not all the soldiers knew about black gunpowder; many had never even heard of it, and even those who had, had not truly seen it.

The soldiers of Chen Country were literally blasted to stupidity!

The previously well-organized cavalry camp suddenly fell into chaos. The officer leading the cavalry was from the Rong Family, also surnamed Rong, named Rong Can.

Rong Can was one of the few who had seen black gunpowder. He had accompanied Rong Yao on a visit to Liang Country when they encountered people from Yan Country demonstrating their black gunpowder. Unfortunately, he had been standing too far away; he only heard the explosion and did not see its power in action.

Afterward, Rong Yao described it to a few members of the Rong Family, but how could they possibly envision it?

Therefore, at this moment, even Rong Can was bewildered.

However, he managed to restrain himself and did not let the soldiers see anything amiss. He tightened the reins and said loudly, "Everyone, do not panic. It’s just a piece of rock! It’s nothing—"

Boom rumble!

Another huge rock came rolling down, and Rong Can’s words were drowned out by the terrible noise.

Rong Can had limited understanding of black gunpowder. Of course, it was also possible that this was his first time witnessing such a powerful attack, and for the moment, he did not think of what he should have thought of.

In order to prove to the soldiers that this thing was not to be feared, he decisively drew his sword from his waist and slashed at the rolling rock!

With a loud bang, Rong Can was blasted into the air!

To achieve an adequate deterrent effect, Gu Jiao used up all of her black gunpowder beads; in fact, she couldn’t have done it a third time even if she wanted to.

The power of this mix of black gunpowder was enough, but compared to the explosives from her previous life, it was still considerably less effective. To put it bluntly, the lethality was secondary; the primary effect was deterrence.

To be honest, Tang Yueshan and his troops were also a bit dumbfounded. What the hell was this, fireworks? It didn’t seem like it...

Tang Yueshan was the first to react. The situation on the battlefield changes in the blink of an eye, and morale can drop or rise in just a moment.

Tang Yueshan did not care anymore about what that thing was. He retracted his gaze, drew his long sword, pointed forward, and shouted loudly, "The imperial reinforcements have arrived! The Gu Family army is here! Everyone, kill with me!"

Everyone was stunned by the two batches of black gunpowder, completely unable to think about whether Tang Yueshan’s words were true.

The leaderless cavalry of Chen Country became even more disorganized, and seeing this, Tang Yueshan’s troops’ morale soared. Even those who had been hungry for three days and nights felt as if they were suddenly filled with strength, raising the tips of their swords and charging at Chen Country’s cavalry with unstoppable force!

Though Zhan Country was weak, not a single one of Zhan Country’s sons was a coward!

Tang Yueshan charged at the forefront, leading the charge!
