Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Chapter 320: Calling Back

When the six men carefully presented the shells they were carrying to Huang Feihu one by one, a hint of joy that was hard to conceal flashed in his eyes.

Because he knew how powerful the artillery shells were and that they were enough to turn the tide of the battle.

"That's great, God is helping me!" Huang Feihu's voice was filled with excitement.

The arrival of the shells made Huang Feihu feel relieved. With these powerful shells, Sishui Pass was safe.

Huang Feihu then arranged these six people to instruct the soldiers on the city wall on how to use these shells to ensure that each shell could exert maximum effectiveness.

On the city wall, when the soldiers saw the new weapons brought by the six men, they all looked at each other in confusion, with a mixture of curiosity and nervousness.

Without any delay, the six people immediately began to demonstrate how to load, ignite, aim and fire.

After a while, one cannonball after another was installed on the catapult. After the fuse was ignited, it was thrown at the Zhou army that was attacking the city under the tower.

The shells drew graceful arcs in the air and then slammed heavily into Zhou's position.

"boom--!!!"

"boom--!!!"

……

A series of deafening noises suddenly rang out, as if the heaven and earth were shaking.

The soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but cover their ears, but their eyes were fixed on the battlefield below the city wall.

They saw a shell exploded next to the Zhou army soldiers, and huge flames and smoke instantly engulfed the surrounding enemies.

"boom--!!!"

Another artillery shell landed on Zhou's position, and the power of the explosion stunned the soldiers.

Everyone saw that the Zhou army soldiers who had been fighting forward one after another seemed so fragile and vulnerable in the explosion of the artillery shells.

Their bodies were blown to pieces, with blood and limbs splattered everywhere.

The soldiers on the city wall were silent. They were deeply shocked by the power of the shells.

They had never seen such horrific destructive power. Those shells seemed like the gods of death falling from the sky, ruthlessly reaping the lives of the enemies.

"Is this...is this the power of the shell?"

A soldier muttered to himself, with a hint of fear and disbelief in his voice.

"Yes, this is the power of the shells."

Wucheng King Huang Feihu said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with determination, "With these shells, the rebel army will never be able to enter Sishui Pass."

Amid the sound of artillery shells exploding, Zhou's attack collapsed instantly.

Their formation was blown to pieces and the soldiers fled in all directions, trying to avoid the deadly explosion.

Jiang Ziya stood in front of the Zhou army, with a flash of shock in his eyes. He did not expect that the Shang Dynasty had such a powerful weapon.

You know, he originally thought that Sishui Pass was already at the end of its strength and could not compete with the Zhou army. But now it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

Jiang Ziya muttered to himself, with a hint of disbelief and fear in his voice.

Upon hearing this, the generals nearby gathered around. They were also shocked by the power of the new weapons on the tower.

"Prime Minister, we have never seen such a powerful weapon." A general said, "It seems that the Shang Dynasty has a hidden power that we don't know about."

Jiang Ziya remained silent, his heart full of doubts and worries. The appearance of this weapon completely disrupted his strategic deployment.

He originally thought that with his deployment and the bravery of his army, he could quickly capture Sishui Pass. But now it seems that everything is not so simple.

He stared at the shells that were constantly being thrown from the city wall, trying to find some flaws.

However, cannonballs and trebuchets seemed to be a match made in heaven, reaching incredible levels of range, power, and accuracy.

He knew that with the existing strength and tactics of mortals, it would be almost impossible to capture Sishui Pass.

"Prime Minister, what should we do?"

Another general asked anxiously, with a hint of panic in his voice, and he was obviously also frightened by the power of the shells.

Jiang Ziya took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He knew that as a military advisor, he could not show any panic or hesitation. He had to stay calm and find a feasible way out for the army.

"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"

Jiang Ziya finally made a decision. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of firmness and determination.

He knew that this decision meant that the Zhou army would temporarily abandon the plan to capture Sishui Pass, but this was also a helpless move.

Under the current conditions, continuing the attack will only cost the army a greater price.

As Jiang Ziya's order was passed down, the Zhou army soldiers under the Sishui Pass immediately raised a noisy voice.

The soldiers put away their weapons and retreated immediately. Their faces were filled with relief and fear, and they quickly followed Jiang Ziya's orders.

During this period, the artillery shells from the city wall never stopped, threatening their lives at all times.

This made the retreating Zhou army soldiers wish they could grow wings and leave this deadly place as soon as possible.

During the retreat, Jiang Ziya was thinking about the next strategy.

He knew that if he wanted to capture Sishui Pass, he had to find the flaw in this new weapon, the cannonball.

The shells were so powerful that there must be some unknown secret. He decided to send elite spies to sneak into Sishui Pass to find out the source and manufacturing method of the weapons.

On the way of retreat, Jiang Ziya also saw some wounded soldiers. Most of their wounds were caused by the explosion of shells, and they were bloody and horrible.

Jiang Ziya felt a pang of pain in his heart, for he knew very well that the injuries on these soldiers were the price they paid for their ambition to conquer the Shang Dynasty.

On this side, Huang Feihu saw that Zhou’s army had retreated, and he felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He knew that the reason why the Zhou army retreated was precisely because of these shells. Therefore, his admiration for the national teacher Luo Shu reached its peak.

"Come here, quickly count the battle situation and carefully classify the wounded. Send the seriously injured to the city's medical clinic for treatment first, and keep the lightly injured on the city wall for the time being. After the seriously injured are treated, they will be dealt with together."

Huang Feihu shouted orders to the deputy general beside him, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The deputy general responded, then turned around and walked away quickly, starting to organize people to carry out the order.

At this time, another deputy general stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"Your Majesty, the enemy has retreated, and our army's morale is high. Should we go out of the city to pursue them and expand our victory?"

Huang Feihu frowned when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"Don't act rashly. The enemy retreated this time because they were unable to cope with the fierce attack of our artillery shells."

"If we rush out of the city to pursue them, the artillery shells will not be able to play the advantage of long-range strikes."

"But the enemy can use the terrain and manpower advantages to counterattack our army. At that time, our army will fall into a passive situation."
