Chapter 156: Break the city!

A faint smoke was floating in the air, and a strong smell of gunpowder came over.
Luo Xin in front of the artillery shook his body at the moment when the loud noise occurred. Although he insisted that he did not sit on the ground, everyone could see that his legs were shaking slightly.
Niu Ben and Lu Fei's faces were a little pale. They didn't cover their ears just now. As generals, they still wanted face in front of the soldiers.
So Luo Xin kept staring during the ignition, showing a look that he was not afraid of anything.
At this moment, Niu Ben couldn't help but gratefully glanced at Xiao Ming. Fortunately, he didn't ride a horse just now, otherwise he would be thrown to the ground by the frightened horse.
Looking at the soldiers who were chasing the escaping horses, Niu Ben looked at the artillery in front of Luo Xin again, his eyes gradually changing.
If this artillery is used in front of the battle, it will inevitably make the horses of the barbarian cavalry upset.
"His Royal Highness, why is this thing so loud?" Luo Xin turned around and said to Xiao Ming.
At this time, he gradually recovered his composure, pretending to be calm as usual and said to Xiao Ming.
"Can it be called a cannon if it doesn't sound?" Xiao Ming said as he approached the cannon.
Because of the strong recoil, the position of the artillery has moved a little bit backwards, and the position needs to be recalibrated for the next launch. It seems that the weight of the artillery base should be increased.
He looked at Liu's Wubao again, and at this time Liu's Wubao's gate was smashed out of a hole by artillery.
Artillery is a straight line kill, and the aim is precise, which is why artillery can kill a large number of enemies on the battlefield.
One line to play out, in the ancient times when accustomed to a dense formation, it was basically similar to a bunch of candied haws.
Although the power of the catapult was great, it was only a small amount of damage, and it was not enough to deal with soldiers. The siege effect was good.
"A few more shots and blast open the gate of Wubao."
This first shot was successfully fired, and the artillery performed well.
The gate of Wubao is also very thick, but at this time, it can withstand the bombardment of solid artillery shells. After a few more shots, it is estimated that it will basically fall apart.
"I'm not coming." Luo Xin went back into the army like a cat with his tail stepped on.
The moment the artillery was fired, his scalp was numb.
"Hahaha..."
There was a burst of laughter in the army. It was the laughter of the soldiers, but they were not mocking Luo Xin when they thought that they were scared just now.
In fact, the artillery sounds like thunder, and people and animals have an instinctive fear of this sound.
This is why the artillery needs a long time to train.
Qingzhou was chaotic here, and Liu Chuang in Wubao was even more unbearable. At the moment of the loud noise, many gangsters were directly frightened to the ground.
The bandits guarding the city gate were even more chaotic, because as soon as the sound appeared, the gate shattered.
But the terror was still behind. A black object went straight through the gate and threw the ten soldiers behind. The first soldier’s chest was bloody, the second soldier’s arm was broken, and the third soldier’s head was broken. It became a paste directly, and his death was very miserable.
"What the is this? It is said that King Qi is capable of magic, is it true?"
The gangsters who survived the inventory turned pale.
Liu Chuang on the tower was not much better. At this moment, someone came up and explained the situation below, and he was shocked.
At this time, the Qingzhou Army outside the city seemed to be ready to use that thing again.
"They are going to blast open the city gate. What is this? How terrifying!" Liu Chuang exclaimed in his heart, but he would believe that this was King Qi's magic like other soldiers.
Because this was what he saw with his own eyes, he vaguely understood that it was an explosion of gunpowder.
"What to do? Many people at the gate of the city are too scared to approach." The man said.
Liu Chuang felt desperate for the first time, and now the tunnel has not been opened, and this strange weapon will soon smash the gate of the city.
"Fight with them!" Liu Chuang said angrily: "Let the brothers prepare the guys."
"Yes!" The man responded and quickly walked down the tower.
They knew very well that there was no room for negotiation between their sons of wealthy clan and King Qi, either you died or I died.
Outside the city, Chen Qi was calmly cleaning the barrel and refilling it. Luo Xin was unhappy, so he replaced Chen Qi, because Chen Qi and other craftsmen had long been itchy hands.
After the artillery was loaded, Chen Qi and others used the aiming star on the artillery to aim at the gate of Wubao again.
"Boom!" There was another sound, and there was another hole in the Wubao gate.
Behind the artillery, Niu Ben and Xiao Ming stood side by side. After five years of hard work in the mines, Niu Ben thought by himself that nothing could make his mood ups and downs.
But today, his long silent heart wavered again. He said to Xiao Ming: "No wonder your Royal Highness dared to guard Cangzhou alone. With this weapon, the barbarian will inevitably be caught off guard. I am afraid that the barbarian will encounter a hard bone when going south."
"The old general values ​​this artillery so much, and I feel relieved. This artillery is only the first one. The subsequent production artillery will be installed on the city gate of Cangzhou to resist the barbarians." Xiao Ming said.
Niu Ben nodded and asked, "His Royal Highness, how many artillery can be produced in a month? When the barbarians attack the city, how many doors can Cangzhou City have?"
"At most fifty, this is still the case with sufficient materials." Xiao Ming frowned.
The production of a gun requires a lot of procedures, even if there is an iron mold now, casting a gun is not a day or two.
It is May now, and he has not much time to produce artillery.
"If the ammunition is sufficient, fifty doors are enough," Niu Ben said. "You only need to destroy the barbarians' siege vehicles and ladders. The barbarians will never be able to attack Cangzhou City."
Niu Ben talked about the key point. The most important thing in siege is to break through the gate~EbookFREE.me~. Breaking through the gate basically relies on the siege equipment. Soldiers can't climb the tower with their hands and feet.
And this artillery has a long range, great power, and accurate shooting. When the time comes, the siege equipment will be hit anywhere, enough for the barbarians to drink a pot.
When the two were talking, there was another "boom", only Chen Qi's voice was heard, "The door is open, the door is open."
Xiao Ming saw that there was a gap in the city gate of Wubao, and a hole was broken in the middle of the city gate, presumably the position of the door bolt was hit.
Niu Ben saw it at the same time, then drew a knife and shouted: "Kill!"
The Qingzhou Army, who had been holding back for three days outside the city, had already complained about this gang of bandits, and rushed towards Wubao like a hungry wolf.
On the tower, Liu Chuang looked at the silver steel torrent and immediately turned and went down the tower.
The Qingzhou Army was five times more than themselves, and they were also wearing this invulnerable armor. Their defeat was determined.
