Sixty-plus Hidden Guards fired together, but the bullets all hit the ground near the feet of the Chu Army. The splattering soil and the booming gunfire frightened them; they didn't know what this weapon was, but such a lethal weapon could kill them from hundreds of meters away, far beyond the range of bows and crossbows.
The gunfire not only shocked the Chu Army but also the 200-plus personal guards who had never seen firearms. Faced with such a roaring weapon, they felt half fearful and half curious. As long as these bizarre weapons weren't aimed at them, that was enough.
Hundreds of bullets poured out, indeed stopping the Chu Army from advancing. Ye Shikai raised his rifle, took aim, and shot at the leading Chu Army general.
Bam.
The bullet hit the Chu Army general's helmet. The man was unharmed, but the helmet was knocked off, which terrified everyone. The Chu Army retreated, falling back dozens of steps.
"Sir, they seem to be retreating."
