Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 356 - 354: Shocking Everyone

This warhorse had been with him through life and death for many years, and one could say that a deep affection had developed.

Moreover, this was no ordinary warhorse.

Even across the entire grassland, a second one could not be found!

The reason being, it was personally bestowed to him by the Emperor.

Do not think that these barbarians are devoid of emotions; that is impossible, just like how he helplessly watched his prized horse die on the spot.

This made Agusi’s eyes turn red in an instant, and his grip on the scimitar tightened even more.

However, when he tried to stand up, a searing pain shot through his body.

This made him lower his head to see that his body was covered with several bloody holes, from which blood was continuously oozing.

This left him somewhat at a loss for a while.

He couldn’t quite understand what had happened; why did several holes appear on his body after the crackling sounds?

Moreover, his warhorse had also collapsed on the ground, convulsing incessantly; what exactly was going on?

What kind of method had the enemy used to inflict such damage?

Could it be arrows?

But why hadn’t he seen the enemy draw their bows?

Not only his horse and himself, when he turned his head to observe his surroundings, the sight made his eyes nearly pop out of their sockets.

He saw that out of the original 1000 soldiers, a whole swath had fallen; without exaggeration, at least a hundred had perished.

Even those who remained were frantically trying to control their horses, attempting to calm them.

But the horses, frightened, were no longer heeding the barbarians’ consolations.

One by one, they were twisting their bodies and constantly lifting their front hooves.

Worse yet, several warhorses were even running away in all directions.

Such a scene made Agusi instantly realize one possibility—that this time, he was defeated!

And thoroughly so!

The reason was simple, once the cavalry’s horses scattered, it meant that this cavalry unit had completely lost its combat effectiveness.

And the surrounding onlookers and officials, upon witnessing such a scene, were all dumbfounded on the spot.

Each one could not believe what they had just seen, some even vigorously rubbed their eyes.

Their gazes fixed on the scene, bewildered in a moment of stupefaction.

The officials were similarly stunned, especially General Mu, who was currently running towards the city wall. Hearing a noise behind him, he quickly lay down on top of the wall to look down.

However, when he saw the scene, all his movements halted, staring down with his mouth agape.

He trembled a few times, but could not utter a single word.

If there was anyone who was not shocked at this moment, it had to be the Young Emperor and Ying Yi.

They had no choice; both had personally witnessed the power of firearms.

Moreover, they had personally tested and fired the firearms.

Therefore, when they saw the firearms exert such formidable power, although shocked, they remained much calmer than everyone else.

They were both overwhelmed with joy.

The Little Emperor was also ecstatic. This time, he truly acquired a treasure. With these firearms, he could definitely turn the tide.

It was foreseeable that after this battle, Lin Yi’s fame would spread throughout the entire You Country.

Lin Yi’s reputation would also be directly comparable to that of the Great General.

Wouldn’t that make people tremble in fear?

Looking at the current moment, Sun Heng, who was in charge of the rear guard behind those barbarians, was also incredibly shocked!

Watching everything unfolding before his eyes, he could clearly see it all!

The reason was that he was at the very back of the entire team, and because of this, he could see every detail clearly.

Perhaps Agusi fell to the ground without understanding what was happening.

But he knew that after those soldiers from You Country waved their iron rods and emitted a burst of light, his own soldiers started falling one after another.

This was enough to indicate that none of this was accidental; it was all deliberately done by the other side.

Although he couldn’t clarify what exactly it was, he was sure his side had taken a huge loss.

The biggest point was that, this time, he wouldn’t gain the slightest advantage.

Because of this, his first thought was to flee!

Yes, to flee.

In his mind, keeping his life was the most important.

And under the current circumstances, it was wishful thinking to even hope to save his life.

The only moment to save his life was probably now, only while there were still people on his side and he could take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Who knows if the other side would emit another round of crackling noises. If it really happened again, his people would undoubtedly fall again in large numbers.

Seeing that his soldiers had lost any semblance of combat ability, Sun Heng quickly took control of his horse and signaled to two guards beside him, quickly moving to break out of the battle ring.

After all, this guy has always been incredibly cunning, so he had already surveyed the terrain before entering the school grounds.

He had also chosen a retreat route in advance.

Although he had never imagined using this escape route before the battle, he still thought it necessary to leave himself a way out beforehand.

However, just as he was turning his horse around and about to leave, Lin Yi in the field also vigorously waved another flag in his hand.

As this flag in his hand swung down, another team of prepared gunners quickly and directly pulled the triggers.

As they pulled the triggers, the fuses also burned rapidly, followed immediately by another crackling sound ringing out.

At this very moment, whose confidence was the most overflowing?

It was undoubtedly the entire Nanshan Guards.

Although they knew the firearms were powerful, they hadn’t anticipated they would be so formidable in actual combat, unleashing such tremendous power!

Especially after the first round of gunfire, the unstoppable cavalry was instantly scattered.

This further boosted their confidence, even reddening their previously pale and tense faces.

As they fired the second round, the first wave of gunners had already knelt down, quickly reloading for a second round.

By the time the third round of gunfire sounded, the first round of gunners had already finished reloading.
