Weapons testing is a very troublesome matter, and it is also a matter that needs to be compared.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast.

At this time, the comparison is of course the comparison between the current city tower and the previous city tower.

The catapults had barely formed their formation, and the men were stunned because it was an old-fashioned wall, and then a gap appeared in the next round of attack from these catapults, and then cracks began to appear in the walls under the continuous attack.

"This is this old-fashioned catapult, and it has indeed improved after improvement, but this catapult is very weak a lot of the time, especially in the face of this kind of masonry city wall." That kind of earthen wall can be easily smashed through, but this kind of masonry wall is much less effective.

Gone were the days when a large hole could be smashed into the earth and stone walls, and now only a significant depression could be smashed at most.

In this case, even a dozen stones may not be able to collapse the city wall.

Li Hang stood aside and watched their performance, not to mention the effort to play the game, and the efficiency was still very low.

But that's it, the thunder on the side is excited. "Okay, well, this catapult can increase its power by at least two percent."

In this way, the stones on the head of the city can greatly damage the defenders on the top of the city.

As for the losses on those walls, it is basically impossible to take down such a strong wall without ten days and half a month of continuous attack.

What's more, the people on such walls will also take advantage of the night to repair it.

Unless you're fully capable of besieging the city to death, it's better to destroy the people on the city than to tear it down.

"That's amazing? If you put some poison in these stones to form poisonous smoke, it will be easier to attack the city, and then our fighters only need to take the antidote and rush up, and you can easily occupy the city. Li Hang said calmly.

The two most important links in siege warfare are the capture of the city and the opening of the city gates.

Conquering the walls means reversing the offensive and defensive momentum.

Power to deal with this situation, so generally speaking, ordinary cities as long as the amount is slightly larger, there will be an inner and outer city, that is to say, the inner city has a separate wall, and some even have three floors.

But once the walls are captured, it means that the area will enter street fighting and stalemate.

As long as you can climb the tower, that is to say, unless the external conditions change, or the food and grass are insufficient, it is basically a declaration that the war is basically stable.

If there is really a sixty population gap, a flying dragon riding a face or something, it is estimated that it is the legendary battlefield fog, and the loss is confused.

"Vicious!" The presiding monk of Tianlong Temple, Wuneng Monk, looked at Li Hang with disdain.

"Ensuring the minimum casualties of one's own side in a war is something that a commander has to consider, otherwise whoever charges you with his life, who fights with you, if you treat these soldiers as outcasts who can give up at any time, then they will also give up on you at a critical time, if you can only fight a smooth battle, then what is the use of this kind of army? An army is not judged by its most brilliant victory, but by whether it can withstand the pressure at the most critical time and whether it can hold the most critical victory at the most important time! Li Hang said slowly.

Whether an army can become the key to victory is the real usable army, otherwise it is at most just a matter of numbers.

The old monk wanted to speak, but he had nothing to say, and finally he could only shake his head helplessly and say "Amitabha".

Seeing that the old monk stopped talking, Li Hang looked at the ministers on the side. "The thick pipes that are over there at this time are what we are going to introduce today, in fact, you can think of it as an enlarged version of a musket, I call it artillery, this kind of thing can be used to destroy the city walls, it can also be used to destroy the enemy in the field, and it can also be installed on future naval ships. Now I'm going to show you a demo. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the artillery, then filled the gunpowder to install the shells, and then ignited the fire.

This is a kind of test artillery, and the recoil is still very large, but the kinetic energy of the artillery itself in this year is not good, what kind of brake do you tell me? Let it slide backwards naturally.

"Boom!" With a bang.

The front end of the cannon emitted a little black smoke that was almost more than four meters long.

It's like the breath of a black dragon.

Li Hang looked at this artillery and couldn't help but smile secretly. Onexia took a deep breath!

Probably only this kind of line of middle two can describe the image of artillery in their hearts at this time.

After a loud bang, the earthen city wall directly kicked off a huge amount of dust and smoke.

The monk Wuneng on the side was already dumbfounded.

When this cannon lit the fuse, he still felt that Li Hang was making a big fuss, and he was definitely a coward who ran so far.

But it was the earth-shattering roar of the cannon that scared him to the ground.

"What is this? What is it? "It's clear that this old man is already scared stupid.

Lei Xiao on the side looked at this frightened old man with some sympathy, his face was already a little sympathetic now, they were scared last time, so they had a certain psychological preparation.

Now not to mention this old man, even the soldiers around him were frightened one by one, and some even instinctively drew their swords.

The guards on the side even instinctively protected them.

"This ......" Emperor Win Wu looked ahead with some shock.

What is it?

When the dust cleared, the ministers and soldiers all gasped.

The earthen walls, which had previously been bombarded with a few catapults, now resembled a dam that had been swept away by a flood.

The earth and stones are scattered everywhere, and there is a huge gap in the middle, which can already be walked in directly, and there is basically no pressure.

The large group of people looked at the gap with a look of horror.

"Such a bombardment can open the city wall they rely on to defend, cause a huge psychological gap in the defending army, and give them some color at this time." At this time, Li Hang laughed.

The artillery is so awesome, you don't need to look at anything else, this cannon alone can destroy the city wall, make the people in the city suffer tons of mental damage, and cause immeasurable psychological shadows.

It is precisely because of this awesome effect and great power that artillery can have the reputation of the god of war in later generations.

And yet now......

Master Wu Neng, the presiding officer of Tianlong Temple, who was sitting on the ground, muttered words such as "demon weapon" in his mouth, and looked at Li Hang with a shocked expression.
