Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: Dragon Soaring Through the Nine Heavens (Part 2)

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, cannons spewed out scorching flames, firing solid shots weighing several dozens of pounds each.

From nearly five miles away, they heavily bombarded the walls of Dongwang City!

Before this battle broke out, in the warfare between nations of the Cangqing Domain, attacking cities was undoubtedly the most arduous and brutal operation.

To conquer a sturdy city, it often required continuously sacrificing lives or enduring a long siege until the defender ran out of ammunition and food. Either way, it was time-consuming and strenuous, putting both attackers and defenders to a severe test.

But now, under the fierce bombardment from the cannons, the walls of Dongwang City were blasted with gaping holes, and countless pieces of debris flew chaotically while the defending soldiers wailed incessantly.

The batch of cannons that Wang Chen first deployed was specifically designed for sieging, having large calibers and containing a larger amount of gunpowder. The cannonballs used were several times the size of ordinary field artillery, and both their range and power were far superior.

To transport these cannons, they used up five hundred packhorses, along with thousands of gunners and auxiliary troops!

At this moment, they unleashed their firepower fully, also heralding the arrival of a new era of warfare.

After one round of cannon fire, the eastern wall of Dongwang City was already severely damaged, and a corner of it had even collapsed, causing heavy losses to the weapons such as cannons and crossbow carts deployed on the wall.

The defenders from the Yan Army also attempted to retaliate with cannons. However, their cannons were inferior even compared to the initial models used by Wang Chen, firing solid shots only two to three miles away and thus, posing no threat to the West Liang army.
