Inside Jingjiang County, a loud boom resounded as the Wokou lifted their gunpowder cannon, sending a large plume of smoke into the air, and fired a four-pound iron lead shot towards a residential house.
In the instant the shot collided with the rammed earth house, it exploded and splattered, piercing through walls, crushing roofs, and shattering wood and stone.
The house collapsed with a thunderous roar, raising dust and smoke several meters high.
The Great Wokou Leader stood not far away, leaning on his sword. It was not his first time witnessing the power of gunpowder cannons, but seeing this weapon again after witnessing the Folangji Cannon break through the city walls, he still exclaimed: "This device is truly a weapon for demolishing houses, breaking walls, and clearing streets, enough to shatter the spirit and loyalty of Tokugawa's Gangqizi City high above."
