Humans fear the unknown dangers more.

This is human nature, an unchangeable instinct.

Before this, apart from a very small number of people including Li Chen, practically no one had ever seen the Great Qin Divine Thunder.

So when it first revealed itself in all its terrifying glory as a weapon of war, everyone was stunned - even the remaining hundreds of guards.

That deafening roar, that ferocious explosive power, made one wonder if this wasn't divine retribution from the heavens.

Li Chen was also seeing the effect of the Qin Divine Thunder in action on the front lines for the first time.

He was satisfied with the power of the Daqin Divine Thunder, but his heart was bleeding.

There's no other way to put it, every bang is money.

According to current costs, a Da Qin Shen Lei costs around two hundred taels of silver.

A single blast of the cannon brings a fortune in gold.

What's most absurd is that the only artisan capable of crafting it in all of Qin now is Song Yingxing. Although he's diligently training others, this thing requires talent and even a bit of luck. Just during this period while rushing to manufacture this batch of Great Qin Divine Thunder, there were four or five explosions at Song Yingxing's workshop in the royal hunting grounds due to accidents during gunpowder filling.

It wasn't just the materials and equipment that were destroyed; what truly saddened Li Chen and Song Yingxing was the loss of several skilled craftsmen.

So, at this stage, the Great Qin Thunder can only act as a deterrent as a strategic weapon. If it's used on a large-scale battlefield with more than ten thousand soldiers, its effectiveness would be limited.

Because the quantity is too small.

But right now, it's settled the issue.

The first wave of Great Qin Divine Thunder's deployment caused tremendous casualties.

However, this thing is not like a musket that needs to be loaded with ammunition. As long as there is enough stock, a normal young man can keep throwing grenades without any consumption.

Then the second wave of Qin Divine Thunder followed closely behind.

Having learned from their first experience, the rebels were terrified, but they also knew that if this thing got close, they would be blown to smithereens. So when the second wave of Qin divine thunder struck, the crowd panicked and fled like it was encountering a plague.

But with thousands of people packed together in a formation, it's not as simple as just being able to run.

On the contrary, every man crying for his mother and running helter-skelter caused chaos throughout the ranks. The crush of bodies, people trampling over each other, further heightened the panic within the hearts of all the rebel soldiers.

The second wave of the Great Qin Divine Thunder exploded.

The sound of a huge explosion that shook half of Beijing still echoed.

This time, people witnessed the second layer of power of the Great Qin Divine Thunder.

You should know that when designing it, Li Chen asked Song Yingxing to add steel balls to the Da Qin Shen Lei.

Due to technological limitations, these steel balls are definitely less powerful than modern grenades. However, in the age of cold weapons, they were king.

Countless steel balls, propelled by the force of gunpowder explosions, rained down like hailstones. Within its killing radius, anything, human or armored, would be pierced clean through without a problem.

Under such overwhelming power, the rebels with no experience and no defensive preparations could only flee for their lives.

One begets another, and another follows, until there are many. Then panic and flight spread like a plague.

Thus, the morale of the rebels completely collapsed.

Not even ordinary rebel soldiers, let alone Li Yinhu himself, could have been prepared for this.

Although Zhou Xingjia's protection prevented the explosion from inflicting any real harm on Li Yinhu, seeing all the soldiers running backward, passing him to escape, Li Yinhu staggered.
