The Southern Shore Battery at Gukou was locked in fierce combat at this moment.
The Shun Army had only 3,000 defenders, while the invading force numbered over 10,000, with overwhelmingly superior equipment.
The Shun Army's rifles were outdated and lacked magazines; after each shot, they had to reload. The enemy was armed with Enfield rifles, which were much better in terms of performance.
As the stalemate endured, suddenly cannonballs flew from behind the invading army and crashed down upon them!
These massive cannonballs, weighing over 100 kilograms, were not only powerful but also incredibly precise.
The first cannonball hit a Steel Armored Knight, turning him into a heap of mangled flesh and twisted steel; the second struck a Vampire Officer stationed at the rear, turning the demon beast into dust in the blast wave.
Reduced to such tiny particles, their formidable vitality was useless. They were bewildered, wondering how they had become exposed to direct artillery fire!
