That explosion threw the retreating horsemen into a bright frenzy. Death permeated the air as a string of explosions continued to be set off among the troops, completely shattering their heavy armour. Raging fire swallowed everything. Within seconds, the entire army of horsemen had perished.
"This… what the hell happened?" Shi Dakai stared incredulously at the multiple explosions before him. He could hardly believe his eyes.
Explosives made from black gunpowder would have to be used to set off these explosions in a battlefield. And such explosives were very obvious to spot and required flames to ignite. They were entirely not suitable to be used in ambush situations. When the horsemen were advancing, the land before them looked normal. In addition, nothing had happened when they stepped over the ground earlier, but now… their retreat was triggering those explosions.
This situation was utterly beyond comprehension.
