"Someone is coming!"

Wang Ben sat upright on the horse's back, his eyes flashing.

"exist!"

A lieutenant took a step forward and responded respectfully.

"Push out the heavy artillery of our Da Qin army!"

Wang Ben raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a coldness in his eyes.

"Yes! General!"

The deputy general responded and turned to leave.

Not long after.

Dozens of soldiers from the firearms camp pushed out ten heavy artillery pieces hidden behind the military camp and lined up in front of the Daqin camp.

In the sky, the sky is clear.

The rays of the blazing sun seem to fill every corner of the earth.

The barrel of each heavy artillery was constantly flashing with dazzling light under the sunlight.

In the pitch-black muzzle, it looked very dark, but it seemed to be emitting a chilling luster all the time.

The preparations for the ten heavy artillery pieces were completed, and the surrounding Daqin soldiers looked very excited. Everyone's hearts and eyes were full of excitement and excitement.

On the other side of the river, Hannibal and other Carthaginian generals looked at the ten cannons lined up, and they all looked puzzled.

"What is that?"

Hannibal glanced at the adjutant beside him and asked doubtfully.

"I don't know, but that thing seems to be made of metal. The thing that Da Qin brought to the battlefield must be a war-related machine."

The deputy general shook his head and said with the same puzzlement.

"Could this be the strength of the Qin army?"

"Is it precisely because of the existence of that kind of thing that Qin only sent 50,000 troops when it came to reinforce Rome this time?"

With his eyes fixed on the ten heavy artillery pieces in front of Da Qin's camp, Hannibal looked slightly solemn.

"But general, this time our Carthage army has a total of 200,000 people, and that thing is the secret weapon of the Qin army, but what's the use of just a few of them?"

"Let alone a 200,000-strong army, I'm afraid even facing the 40,000-strong army you sent out, that thing won't be able to pose a threat."

After hearing Hannibal's words, the deputy general said with some scorn.

"We have never seen this kind of thing before. It must have been the latest invention of Prince Ying Yu of Great Qin.

I just don’t know if it is Da Qin’s secret weapon as we suspected, and how powerful it is, but I think it should be something extraordinary.”

Looking at the sudden morale victory of the Qin army and the unknown object that suddenly appeared in front of the Qin army camp, Hannibal looked solemn.

"Send the order and call for reinforcements immediately for the besieged vanguard army."

The combat effectiveness displayed by the Qin soldiers at this moment made Hannibal feel uneasy.

Only a short time had passed, and already more than half of the 20,000 vanguard troops he sent had suffered casualties.

"Yes! General!"

Following Hannibal's order, the deputy general responded helplessly.

Everyone present understood that the besieged 20,000 vanguard troops were playing tricks.

But they had to save them. If they just gave up the vanguard, it would have a devastating blow to the morale of the entire Carthaginian army.

Because even if they knew that Da Qin might have an ambush, they could only rush forward bravely.

Seeing the increasing number of reinforcements from Carthage, Wang Ben sneered.

"Send the general's order to fire!"

Following Wang Zhi's order, the Daqin soldiers standing next to the heavy artillery had a flash of coldness in their eyes, and they immediately lit the fuse of the heavy artillery.

Amidst the hissing sound, the fuse brought out a long string of dazzling sparks, which quickly shortened until it was finally submerged in the heavy artillery.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Suddenly, a deafening loud noise sounded on the battlefield, echoing in the sky.

I saw flames radiating from the pitch-black barrels of the ten heavy artillery pieces, as if they were spitting out a fiery snake.

The shells in the barrel of the artillery were pushed away from the barrel under the action of gunpowder and sent into the sky, drawing one arc after another in the air.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The artillery shell lifted into the air, and with a huge roar like a thunderstorm, it exploded again!

The next moment, flaming cannonballs, like a popular one, with red flame tails and a devastating momentum, pierced the sky and landed on the heads of the Carthaginian soldiers on the river bank!

"Ahhh!"

"My legs..."

"..."

Suddenly, there was a din of panicked shouts, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of the wounded, and was soon drowned out by the thunderous sound of artillery fire.

The soldiers of Da Qin kept loading cannonballs and lighting fuses.

Cannonballs continued to hit the Carthage reinforcements with dazzling fire from the barrel.

The deafening roar resounded through the sky, echoing continuously in the sky.

One after another, the cannonballs, carrying a terrifying power, fell into the military formation under the horrified eyes of the Carthage soldiers.

Each cannonball could take away the lives of dozens of Carthaginian soldiers.

After only a moment of interruption, the follow-up troops supporting the Carthaginian vanguard on the river bank were completely defeated.

All the soldiers from Carthage who came to support were running desperately for fear that they would be torn apart by the unknown force in the next second.

The Carthaginian generals who were paying close attention to the battle situation were also dumbfounded at this moment, looking at the scenes happening on the other side of the river in front of them in horror and disbelief!

"This...what the hell is this!"

A Carthage general trembled and asked with difficulty.

But no one answered his question.

Because the shock that the scene just brought to them was really too great.

At this moment, the hearts of all the Carthaginian generals and soldiers, including Hannibal, were filled with shock and fear.

"How could Great Qin possess such terrifying weapons?"

"This power is simply the wrath of heaven!"

Hannibal also looked a little pale, his throat moved with difficulty, and he spoke in a trembling voice.

Anyone can hear the panic and fear contained in his words!

"General...General! It seems I was wrong!"

"I didn't expect Da Qin's secret weapon to be so terrifying!"

"No wonder we have Carthage's 200,000-strong army across from us, but Great Qin only sent 50,000."

"If we have such terrifying weapons, why not worry about not being able to capture Rome? Even the entire Western Region will become ours!"

At this time, the deputy general thought of what he had just said, and he felt very annoyed and regretful.

He originally thought that there were only ten heavy artillery pieces, and they would not be able to cause any harm to Carthage's 200,000-strong army.

But what he didn't expect was that just a few rounds of attacks by just ten heavy artillery pieces could kill hundreds of Carthaginian soldiers, and even severely injure the Carthaginian soldiers who came forward!
