Chapter 37: The Franco-Prussian War

5 kilometers south of Amstelfen.

Outside the brightly lit camp of the Prussian Army, Andre was directing the soldiers to move two cannon barrels down from the horses' backs.

As it was a light cavalry raid, they could not carry the heavy cannons. Instead, Andre had brought cannons that weighed less than 200 jin—light enough to be carried on a single horse.

He didn't even bring mounts for the cannons, simply digging a hole in the ground and propping the cannon barrels at an angle inside, never expecting to hit the Prussian Army.

Load the gunpowder, load the shot, ignite.

With two booms, the Prussian camp was immediately thrown into chaos.

By the time the Prussians finally discerned the direction of the enemy attack, they promptly gathered more than ten cannons to return fire.

Meanwhile, Andre had already strapped the pound cannons back onto the horses' backs, taking advantage of the night to head towards Utrecht in the south.
