Chapter 431: Landslide and Ground Crack! Hell-level Slaughter!
With an order, the Duke of Austin's army began to prepare.
Four or five men operated a medium-sized trebuchet and opened the toss with all their might, and then placed gunpowder packs on it.
Zhang Chunhua watched all this from the top of the city, and she even had a rough telescope.
It's not strange to see a trebuchet, but what's inside a trebuchet is too weird.
Zhang Chunhua suddenly remembered that Shen Lang had said that the Vulcan Sect already had gunpowder, and it had also set off fireworks before, so he had to guard against it.
So it's not stones that enemy trebuchets are going to smash over, but gunpowder packs?
But Zhang Chunhua now has a very good understanding of gunpowder, if it is black powder, the lethality of the city wall is not great, and only in the closed space can the strongest lethality explode.
"Everyone, get down!"
Zhang Chunhua ordered, followed by two officers.
Suddenly, all 500 people on the 3,000-meter city wall were lying on the ground.
"Don't put your heart on the ground. Zhang Chunhua ordered again.
These orders are already very professional, in fact, there is no need for her to order, the warriors of the Eastern Knights and the Roland Knights present are already very sophisticated.
"Launch!"
"Launch!"
With the order of the fire god shaman.
"Whoosh whoosh...... Thirty trebuchets hurled at us, and thirty prototype gunpowder packets flew in a hurry.
Although this is a medium-sized trebuchet, the weight of each powder bag is not large, so it directly projects a distance of 300 meters.
Several Vulcan shamans stared at this scene with confused eyes.
The wrath of the Vulcan is about to descend on the world, and an earth-shattering explosion will follow.
Those Orientals will definitely be frightened and collapse directly.
These Vulcan wraths were enough to completely tear apart the three-thousand-meter wall in front of them.
The Vulcan Shaman glanced at Duke Austin, and the meaning was clear.
Wait for a miracle to happen, Earl Austin.
The distance of three hundred meters came in an instant.
Soon, the thirty powder packets slammed down.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
It was indeed an incomparably shocking explosion, a series of explosions.
The explosion of each powder pack alone was not shocking enough, but the explosion of thirty of them together was indeed amazing enough.
Almost the entire ground trembled.
In an instant, the six-mile city wall was completely shrouded in black smoke, as if it had completely disappeared.
The cavalry horses under the command of Earl Austin were also frightened and jumped up and down.
The Vulcan Shaman said, "Your Excellency, do you see? This is the power of the Vulcan Fury, I think the enemy should have no living people, let them go to hell to repent." And this ugly city wall should have been shattered. ”
Earl Austin frowned, this explosion is indeed amazing enough at the moment, but in his opinion, leading the knights to charge and fight is the real romance, if the future war only needs such a long-distance explosion, then what is the point?
"Your Excellency, wait for the smoke to clear, and you will be able to see what hell really is. ”
"This group of Orientals must have never seen this kind of weapon of the gods, and they will definitely be completely shattered and their souls scattered. ”
From now on, this fear will be etched in their souls, so that they will never dare to set foot in the Western world again. ”
............
The smoke of the black powder was so thick that it was still in the valley, and it took a long time for the smoke to dissipate.
And then......
The scene was a little embarrassing, the six-mile city wall was still there, even intact.
Count Austin couldn't help but look at the Vulcan Shaman, what was going on?
Didn't you show me a lot before? The whole house was shattered in an instant, and it was just an explosion.
And now thirty Vulcan Fury exploded, and not a single one of the enemy's three-thousand-meter walls was broken.
The Vulcan Shaman said, "Your Excellency, the people on the city walls must have been blown up, and some of the Vulcan's wrath is used to kill enemies, and some are used to destroy houses. ”
But a moment later, a slap in the face happened, and Shen Lang's five hundred troops got up from the ground with minimal casualties.
The Earl of Austin was stunned, such an amazing explosion just now couldn't kill the enemy?
Why is this so?
Yes, the explosion of the enemy's gunpowder pack just now, the visual effect is really quite shocking, why is the result so small?
There are several reasons for this.
First, the accuracy of the trebuchet was so poor that most of the gunpowder packs smashed directly on the city wall and then rolled to the ground, and eighty or ninety percent of the gunpowder packs exploded on the ground.
The wall is not extremely strong, but it is also made of cement and bricks, and it is more than a meter thick. And this powder bag weighs, at most more than 20 catties of black powder, and it is not in a confined environment, all the explosive energy has dissipated into the air, and what bullshit power does it have on the city wall more than one meter thick.
Don't forget that when Jin Mulan attacked Zhenxi City, it took more than 3,000 catties of black powder to barely blow up half of the city gate in the closed city gate hole.
Second, even if four gunpowder packets hit the wall, they didn't explode immediately, three of them were thrown off the wall, and only one actually exploded on the wall.
This gunpowder bag of more than 20 catties of gunpowder exploded on the ground, and everyone was lying on their stomachs, how lethal it could be.
More than a dozen people, large and small, were burned, and none of them were actually killed.
..................
Seeing this scene, Duke Austin said in a cold voice: "Your Excellency Shaman, is this what you call the wrath of the fire god?"
The Vulcan Shaman was also very surprised in his heart, but they couldn't be blamed for that. In the Vulcan Cult, it is the alchemists who are responsible for manufacturing, and it is their group of shamans who are responsible for promotion.
This gunpowder was used in actual combat, and it was also the first time for the Vulcan Cult.
Why is this happening? When I did the experiments before, it was obviously amazing, why has it become so clumsy now?
"Your Excellency, don't worry, we have another weapon. Vulcan Shaman said.
Earl Austin said: "I really can't understand why Brooke trusts you and reuses you, but I am willing to give you another chance, but if it doesn't work this time, everything will be left to us." ”
The Vulcan Shaman said, "Your Excellency, please wait and see. ”
Then, with a wave of his hand, hundreds of Vulcan warriors pushed out hundreds of carts.
If Shen Lang saw this scene, he would definitely exclaim.
Divine Arrows?
The Vulcan Cult is so awesome that it created a rocket artillery car so early?
Because there are nine tubes on each trolley, and in each tube there is a rocket in it.
Not a modern rocket, but an ancient one, a two-meter-long giant arrow with something like a cannon tied to the shaft.
When Zhang Chunhua saw this scene, he couldn't help but be shocked, this weapon of the Fire God Sect looked very tall.
I don't know what it is, but it looks very powerful, and it really feels like an ancient Katyusha rocket launcher.
"Ignition!"
The Vulcan priest gave an order.
Then, something truly amazing happened.
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
This picture really looks like the launch of a Katyusha rocket launcher.
One rocket after another, dragging a long tail flame, shot wildly towards the city wall a few hundred meters away.
There were nine on each trolley, a total of hundreds of small carts, and thousands of rockets were fired at once.
In a flash.
It's really like thousands of meteor showers are smashing away.
This visual effect is almost like peeing. It's not scare, it's amazing.
The rocket launches of military theater in the modern world are only hundreds at once. Thousands of rockets roared out at this time, which was simply very beautiful.
The Earl of Austin was stunned, has the war become like this?
It's a different kind of romance.
Zhang Chunhua stared blankly at this scene, she had only one thought in her heart.
This Fire God Shaman is exactly as pompous as Shen Lang.
"Squat down a little!" Zhang Chunhua ordered.
Shen Lang had already experimented with the weapon of rockets, and then gave up directly.
It's so good-looking, but the combat power? It's not bad to use to attack dense enemy arrays, but to attack city walls?
What genius came up with this idea?
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
These thousands of rockets are awesome, and they can fly far and wide.
Flew directly out of the thousands of meters, directly from the top of the city wall.
Zhang Chunhua and the warriors on the city wall also looked up and watched the rockets fly overhead, and then flew directly to a few hundred meters behind the city gate before falling.
Who are they going to fight? Where are they going to fight?
The second wave of rocket attacks of the Vulcan Cult is even more stunning.
But the results were zero, the angle was adjusted too high, and all flew over the city walls.
Look at each other on both sides.
Count Austin stopped talking and turned his head to look at the Vulcan Shaman.
Zhang Chunhua's beautiful eyes looked at the Fire God Shaman, your attack method just now was too good-looking, is there anything else?
The Vulcan shaman said hoarsely: "Count Austin, in fact, there is no problem with our weapons, but the accuracy is not enough, we need to adjust it, please give us ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Earl Austin directly raised his hand to stop her.
"Your Excellency, I can see that the weapons of your Vulcan Wrath are indeed very powerful, and they can indeed change the entire war, but that is later, not now, so the next war is still left to us. ”
The Vulcan Shaman was very bitter and said loudly: "Your Excellency, please give us another chance......
Earl Austin said: "Your Excellency Priest, I know that you want to behave, you need to give an explanation to the High Priest, give an explanation to Debos, and you can't live up to her trust." But believe me, I may be very arrogant, but I don't have much prejudice in my heart. I really see the strength of your weapons, and the Vulcan Cult is indeed powerful and awe-inspiring. But at least the weapon in your hand isn't mature enough, it's just a small battle, so please give it to me next, okay?"
"Also, my awe of Vulcan hasn't changed. You're just a low-level shaman, and you Vulcan Sect should have stronger weapons in your hands, are you satisfied with that?"
"Your Excellency, can I now lead my army against the enemy's walls?"
The young Vulcan shaman stepped back and said, "Your will." ”
..................
The Earl of Austin did not lie against his will, he has traveled the world in the past ten years, and he is indeed well-informed.
The two rounds of gunpowder attacks of the Vulcan Sect just now, although the results were very ugly, he could still see that this weapon was indeed very amazing, and once it matured, it would directly subvert the entire war.
I, Austin, am not an ignorant person, but at least for now the war is in the hands of our samurai.
The tall Duke of Austin looked at the three-thousand-meter wall, which was full of smoke and black stains, but it was stronger than expected.
But no matter how strong it was, it was still small, and it had only a mere five hundred defenders.
Duke Austin yelled, "The army is in line!"
Suddenly, 10,000 troops gathered in formation, fully armed.
Duke Debos was so wealthy that every soldier was armed with iron armor, almost to the teeth.
The 10,000 siege army was all tall and strong, carrying siege ladders of more than six meters.
The Duke of Austin climbed onto a side hill and commanded the battle from a commanding position.
He is very arrogant, but when the battle really comes, he is an absolutely calm general, even in the face of the weakest enemy, he is absolutely meticulous.
His position at this time was higher than Zhang Chunhua's city wall, and he could clearly see the defenses on the city wall.
He knew that in the defense of the city of the Easterners, a large number of bows and arrows, rolling logs, boulders, boiling oil, and so on would be prepared.
But there were none of the Orientals here, they were too short of supplies, and they were prepared in such a hurry that even the walls were built not long ago.
How is it possible to have a three-thousand-meter wall, with only 500 people, and an average of six meters for one person to defend?
10,000 men charged to attack the city, and it could be taken in half an hour at most.
Assemble and line!
The Earl of Austin drew his greatsword and shouted, "The army is attacking the city!"
"Hmm......"
A long horn sounded.
Suddenly, Austin's 10,000 besieging army began to charge.
This is a very professional army, even when charging it is not scattered at all, full of special rhythms.
It's not a wild run at the beginning, but a gradual acceleration, faster and faster, faster and faster.
The charge of tens of thousands of troops is still neat, and it looks like a visual treat, like a torrent of steel.
"Bang ......"
As the tens of thousands of troops charged, the entire ground began to tremble.
Earl Austin's estimate was right, this 10,000-strong army could capture Zhang Chunhua's wall in half an hour at most. Shen Lang's defenders are very powerful, but the number of people is small, and one person will definitely not be able to hold the six-meter city wall.
It didn't even take half an hour, and Austin's 10,000-strong army could take this six-mile pass in a quarter of an hour at most.
The army charged faster and faster, and the chanting in its mouth became more and more intense.
"Forward, forward, forward. ”
"Charge, charge. ”
"For the sake of the Empire, for the sake of Duke Debos, slaughter this group of Orientals, slaughter them all. ”
The army of 10,000 is getting closer and closer to the city walls, getting closer and closer!
Zhang Chunhua narrowed his eyes and looked down on the city wall over the 10,000 enemy army.
Almost, almost all of it's in range.
It's really distressing, the explosives that have been made with great difficulty in the past month or so much have to be used up at once.
Zhang Chunhua waved his hand.
Two officers behind him waved flags.
Suddenly, the defenders on the left and right sides of the city wall all lay down, hiding behind the battlements, and keeping their hearts away from the ground.
It's like a group of small beasts trying to escape an earthquake.
When Duke Austin saw this scene, his face immediately changed drastically.
It's so unusual, my army is already rushing under the city walls, why is the Oriental defender above lying down instead.
For more than ten years, he has been adventuring everywhere and cultivating a beastly intuition.
At this time, he felt a mortal danger, and the hairs on his body stood up instantly.
"Stop, stop!"
Duke Austin yelled, and the herald on the hill was stunned for a moment, then waved the flag.
The 10,000-strong besieging army was stunned, but obeyed the order and stopped.
The Earl of Austin's scalp tingled, and after a pause for a few seconds, he gave another order: "The army disperses, retreats, retreats......"
This is a very good general, so crisp and decisive.
Although he did not understand, the 10,000 troops under his command who attacked the city pass still turned around and prepared to retreat.
It can't be spread out here because the valley is too narrow.
However......
It's too late.
The whole world fell into an eerie silence.
At this time, an astonishing amount of explosives had been planted under the feet of this 10,000-strong army.
This is not black powder, but explosives of incredible power.
At this time, the long fuses in the ground were constantly burning, and the sparks continued to swim towards a large number of explosives.
In order to ensure detonation, there are dozens of leads in total, dozens of rays of mercuryic acid.
The Earl of Austin glanced again at the defenders on the wall, and saw that they were still lying on the ground, their hands clasped to their ears.
He knew it was too late!
Then, he quickly covered his ears as well.
Tick, tick, tick.
The 10,000 siege army below had just completed their turn and was about to retreat.
The tens of thousands of troops behind watched all this quietly and strangely.
Tick!
Time's up!
The fuse burned and detonated the mercuryic acid.
Ramercury detonates a powerful explosive.
Moment!
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
This......
It's the real earth-shattering explosion.
The loud sound was like thunder, which was deafening.
This is the power closest to the power of heaven and earth.
Compared to the explosion of the Vulcan Sect's gunpowder pack just now, it was ten times more amazing.
In a flash!
It was as if the earth dragon had turned over, and it was in a valley that stretched for hundreds of meters.
The whole ground was violently torn apart!
And on this ground, there are 10,000 siege troops standing densely.
They were heavily armed, armed not only with armor but also with shields.
But all was to no avail.
Their bodies are so fragile in the face of a staggering amount of explosives.
It's just a broken bone.
Countless corpses, countless severed arms and stumps flew into the sky.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
A series of explosions continued.
The whole ground, the entire six-mile city wall trembled.
A powerful shockwave swept towards both sides of the valley.
Like the wind blowing wheat waves, the tens of thousands of troops of the Earl of Austin, although they were hundreds of meters away, fell to the ground as if swept by a hurricane.
The nearest soldier even flew straight out.
Then, the whole world seemed to lose its voice.
There was a roar in everyone's ears, and the whole brain felt as if it was about to explode.
Earl Austin was not far from the explosion point, and when the explosion occurred, he felt that his body was directly blown out several meters.
"Bang!"
His majestic body slammed into the cliff and rolled down.
But he was so strong that he bounced up and straightened up again.
"Poof......" spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then, he shook his head desperately, trying to see and hear clearly.
The blast wave of the explosion was so strong that the others would have died long ago, but Earl Austin only had a few concussions.
Fortunately, he covered his ears in time, otherwise the eardrum would have been cracked at this time.
Desperately slapping his head, trying to wake himself up immediately.
"Herald, Herald......"
"Squire, squire......"
Earl Austin shouted, but the world seemed to be silent, and he couldn't even hear his own voice for a while.
After regaining his vision a little, he found that there were no heralds, no attendants, and the dozens of samurai beside him just now were all dead, bleeding from seven holes, broken sternums, and died a terrible death.
Not everyone is as strong as him, even if they are so close to the explosion.
The entire valley was covered in dust, and almost nothing could be seen.
Shen Lang's explosives were amazingly powerful, but there was no smoke or much flame, just countless dust.
It was raining in the sky.
Countless rubble, countless blood, countless severed limbs and stumps fell.
Exactly a few minutes later!
All the dust settled.
The Earl of Austin finally saw clearly, and then he really saw hell.
The whole army was destroyed, and all his 10,000 besieging troops were dead, and perhaps not a single survivor was left.
Is there still such a battle in this world?
In this instant, all 10,000 people died and were shattered.
Truly dead!
The most poisonous woman's heart, in the underground of this valley, Zhang Chunhua buried a lot of explosives, and there was no dead end.
Crowded in this area, not to mention 10,000 people, even 20,000 people were all killed.
The narrow valley, crowded with people, is simply an excellent specimen of explosion.
Even because the explosives were buried too much, the explosion was too powerful, and when it was attacked by the Vulcan Sect's trebuchet just now, the three-thousand-meter city wall was unharmed.
And now this wall is actually damaged.
The explosion was still a bit far from the city walls, so the shock wave could not damage the strong walls. But the explosion directly blew the hundred-pound boulder out and smashed it on the city wall, and big craters appeared.
Zhang Chunhua, a dead woman, was afraid that the power would not be enough to blow up the enemy, and she added two weights later.
As a result, he almost smashed his own city walls.
Count Austin looked at the Vulcan priest, and the young woman rose from the ground, her face full of despair, even doubting her life.
The Wrath of the Vulcan is clearly the secret weapon of the Vulcan Cult.
Why do these Orientals also have them in their hands, and they are even more powerful, even more than ten times stronger.
This weapon in Shen Lang's hand is the real wrath of the gods.
Why is this happening?
The Earl of Austin couldn't help but think of a phrase from the Orientals, which hurts the heavens and the peace.
The East belongs to the East, and the West to the West.
Your Excellency Shen Lang, why did you come to the East, why did you come to my family's land, and you still slaughtered my soldiers like this?
My brave soldiers can die on the battlefield, they can die by the sword of the enemy, but why die under this mysterious power.
Hell, here is hell.
The war has changed!
"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h
The Earl of Austin let out a beastly roar.
