Chapter 220

The remaining people were either missing arms or legs!

"This... what is this?"

At that moment, Chanyu Modu was stunned, his mind buzzing as he stared at the scene before him in shock and disbelief!

Countless Xiongnu generals and soldiers fell to their knees, crying out that it was the end of the world, while others screamed of divine punishment!

Some even cried out, begging Eternal Heaven for mercy!

"Eternal Heaven is merciful; we, the people of the Xiongnu, have never shown the slightest disrespect to Eternal Heaven!"

"Eternal Heaven, have mercy!"

"Eternal Heaven, have mercy!"

"Eternal Heaven is magnanimous, have mercy! Have mercy!"

At that moment, everyone knelt on the ground, kowtowing and bowing incessantly!

At the same time, they called out repeatedly, begging Eternal Heaven for mercy!

Some even chanted incantations, slaughtered horses on the spot, and even began killing people to sacrifice to Eternal Heaven!

This could not be blamed on them.

After all... this was artillery!

Although gunpowder had been discovered as early as the Han Dynasty!

Its use for fireworks and firecrackers did not appear until the Tang Dynasty at the earliest.

It was only after the Song Dynasty that it was formally applied to military affairs!

Muskets and artillery only began to appear at this very moment!

Even for the Han people, the first appearance of these things would be viewed as divine.

When the first shot was fired, countless soldiers, commoners, and nobles knelt to kowtow and worship the heavens!

And this was in the Central Plains, among the scholarly aristocratic families!

But what about now?

What time is it now?

It is the Qin Dynasty!

Although gunpowder has been discovered, it has never been used at all!

Even if an explosion occurred, people would not know what caused it!

No one could utilize or control gunpowder at all!

In this era, when such a magical thing as a cannon appears, it is not at all strange that people would treat it as divine and believe it to be the wrath of the heavens.

After all, this kind of thing is truly too difficult to understand.

No matter how fierce Li Li Yuanba is, he is still just a person; people can accept that he has innate divine strength and can fight hundreds of thousands of troops!

But what about gunpowder?

It just appeared inexplicably among the crowd!

Then, with a boom, dozens or hundreds of people were dead!

What is the principle behind this? What is going on?

It is completely unclear!

It is completely incomprehensible!

It had never been seen before!

This thing is truly too magical, far exceeding the understanding of the grassland people.

At this moment, even Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu—the wisest, most ruthless, and most valiant man on the grassland—was incredibly shocked; as he looked into the distance, his knees involuntarily began to buckle, and he felt an urge to kneel and worship!

But... at the very moment he was about to kneel, he stopped himself by sheer force of will.

It was not because he had realized something!

Nor was it because he did not believe in Eternal Heaven!

It was just... that it felt absurd!

We grassland people worship Eternal Heaven, and Eternal Heaven is the guardian deity of our grassland people!

But why would Eternal Heaven help the enemy attack the grassland people?

"Eternal Heaven, open your eyes and look; these are all your people here!"

"They are not your enemies; they are your most loyal believers!"

He shouted, then looked up to the sky and raised his hands, meaning to offer everything he had to Eternal Heaven!

However, what greeted him was a cannonball!

Boom!

Another explosion!

A cannonball landed in the crowd once again!

With a dull thud, it was more terrifying than thunder!

In that instant, dozens more people were blown away!

Dozens more died miserably!

"Ah, ah, ah!"

At that moment, many Xiongnu fell into despair.

They screamed and began to flee backward rapidly!

Some shouted that Eternal Heaven was destroying the world and that it would be too late if they didn't run!

"Eternal Heaven is not failing to help us; he is using his divine power to destroy this entire area!"

"Run!"

"Run!"

"It will be too late if we don't run!"

At that moment, they screamed and fled for their lives toward the rear!

The great army was in chaos, with almost everyone fleeing for their lives!

Even Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu felt a chill in his heart.

At this moment, he stared at the exploding shells in the distance, wondering over and over again, what is this?

Is Eternal Heaven truly angry?

He understood even less why, if Eternal Heaven was angry, he would not use his divine power to kill the Qin Army, but instead kill his own grassland people?

He did not understand any of this!

But... as he stared into the distance, at the marshland not far away, he gritted his teeth!

Why did these two hundred thousand people charge into this marshland?

They came to kill Li Li Cunxiao and Li Li Yuanba!

They came to capture Ying Su alive!

But now... are they just going to run away like this?

"Kill!"

"Charge across this marshland, we will kill Ying Su, kill Li Li Cunxiao, kill Li Li Yuanba!"

At that moment, he was shouting loudly!

But... everyone on the grassland believes in Eternal Heaven; everyone is a most loyal believer of Eternal Heaven!

Now, everyone believed Eternal Heaven was angry, and everyone was afraid to fight!

All the troops were only thinking of fleeing; even Chanyu Modu could no longer command this army.

At this moment, truly everyone was fleeing!

But as the leader of the grassland, as the current Chanyu Modu Chanyu, Chanyu Modu still had some ability!

Seeing the army in such chaos, he flew into a rage on the spot and shouted: "Whoever is the first to charge out of this marshland shall be rewarded with ten young women from the Central Plains!"

"Whoever cuts off the head of Li Li Yuanba or Li Li Cunxiao shall be rewarded with one hundred young women from the Central Plains!"

"Whoever captures Ying Su alive shall be rewarded with ten thousand young women from the Central Plains, be enfeoffed as the Left Wise King, lead ten thousand slaves, one hundred thousand head of cattle and sheep, and receive three thousand li of grassland territory!"

He shouted loudly!

And under such heavy rewards, some people were moved, and the army began to stop its commotion!

But there were still many loyal believers of Eternal Heaven fleeing, shouting that Eternal Heaven had come to destroy the world!

Such shouting made the already panicked crowd even more panicked; some fled, while others knelt to beg Eternal Heaven not to be angry!
