Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

Chapter 572 Liu Bei's Shock and Surprise!

Liu Bei was clearly caught off guard and hadn't had time to respond when he saw the soldier step forward and skillfully begin loading ammunition.

Before everyone could fully recover, a loud "boom" suddenly exploded.

In an instant, a shell shot out like a wild horse, hurtling straight toward the small house with tremendous force.

Immediately following was a violent earthquake, with dust billowing up. After the dust settled slightly, people looked closely and saw that the once intact house had been reduced to ruins, with only broken walls and rubble standing forlornly in the same spot.

........................

It turned out that in that breathtaking moment, Chizuru had already released her powerful divine sense.

Only after confirming that no one was living in the house did he give the order to open fire without hesitation.

After all, Liu Bei now controls Wancheng, so compensating an ordinary family for their losses shouldn't be too difficult.

Moreover, Chizuru was too lazy to take Liu Bei to an open space outside the city to test the new weapon, so she simply took care of it right there.

However, the sudden and enormous explosion really startled everyone present.

Liu Bei and his generals, in particular, were utterly stunned. The shock they felt when they witnessed the house being blown to pieces in an instant was indescribable!

Even the usually calm and collected Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu couldn't help but show surprise on their faces at this moment.

They had initially been skeptical of this so-called new weapon, thinking it was nothing more than a useless piece of junk.

But at this moment, after witnessing such astonishing destructive power firsthand, all those previous thoughts of underestimation vanished instantly.

"This...this is too terrifying! If this thing were actually used on the battlefield and fired at dense enemy ranks, wouldn't it cause countless deaths and injuries?" someone muttered to themselves, their voice filled with fear and awe.

For a moment, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence, with only the lingering smoke in the air seemingly silently telling the story of the enormous impact of the explosion.

........................

Liu Bei's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief: "Such a divine artifact exists? What method is needed to use it?"

Chizuru patiently explained: "Simply load the shell into the barrel, light the fuse, and the shell will roar out. However, the operator must be careful, or they may injure themselves if they make a mistake."

Liu Bei circled the cannons, examining them closely, his eyes gleaming with intense light, as if he could already see these cannons displaying their might on the battlefield.

That scene was explosive.

But when it comes to dealing with traitors like Cao Cao, they are invincible!

"With this item as my aid, I will surely be able to restore the Han Dynasty, save the people, and sweep across the land as soon as possible," Liu Bei said excitedly.

Qianhe nodded slightly: "The reason I brought this thing here is because I know you have the world on your mind. Now that you have this weapon, you are like a tiger with wings. But you must not underestimate your enemy and still make good use of your strategies."

Liu Bei repeatedly agreed, and then led Qianhe towards the mansion, pondering along the way how to use these cannons to devise a strategy.

But Liu Bei pointed to their firearms and asked, "What kind of weapons are these?"

Chizuru smiled and said, "You'll see about the firearms of the Republic of China when the war starts. But if you're curious, I'll tell you in a bit."

Liu Bei nodded and led Qianhe into the mansion.

He knew that Chizuru's companions were all reliable!

After all, they've said they're elite.

..........................

Upon entering the mansion, Liu Bei ordered his men to serve fine wine and delicacies.

After several rounds of drinks, Liu Bei asked, "Master Qianhe, what other wonders do these divine weapons possess?"

Chizuru smiled mysteriously, picked up a gun, demonstrated how to load and unload bullets, and explained the principles behind it.

He took out his Mauser pistol and other weapons.

He then explained it to Liu Bei.

The latter listened with amazement, yet a worried expression appeared on his face: "This thing is powerful, but what if it falls into the hands of the enemy?"

Chizuru laughed heartily: "Enemy forces? As long as we get these weapons, why would we be afraid of losing them after a defeat?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei also felt that it made sense.

With such powerful weapons, how could they possibly lose the battle?

Just then, a scout came to report.

The scout knelt on one knee, clasped his hands, and loudly reported, "My lord, great news! Third Master has learned that you have occupied Wancheng and is now rushing from the ancient city to join you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei was overjoyed!

"Great! Third brother, you've come at just the right time!" Liu Bei exclaimed excitedly.

Chizuru didn't lie to him!

His third brother was indeed unharmed.

"Wah-ya-ya-ya!" Zhang Fei roared fiercely as he marched forward, his voice shaking the heavens and earth, raising dust wherever he went.
