Chapter 619: Monster Siege (9)

To be honest, from the very beginning, Wang Hao did not treat these beasts attacking the city as ordinary beasts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Those evolved high-level beasts, among other things, were not inferior to humans in terms of intelligence.

Not only do they have great combat power, but they also know how to be strategic and adaptable.

Now that they have stopped attacking, it is obvious that under the protection of the city wall, a small number of beasts are not able to form combat effectiveness at all, and even if they go, they can only be sent to death.

Therefore, the Lightning Eagle King issued a warning, telling the Great Monkey King to exercise restraint, and when the number of beasts reached a certain level, and when there were hundreds or thousands of high-level creatures, they would attack Huacheng.

Although I don't know how these creatures of different races communicate, this warning from the Lightning Eagle King just hit Wang Hao's sore feet.

After several years of hard work, Hwaseong built a high city wall, and it seems to be invincible.

But in fact, Hwaseong is not as strong as it seems.

Because the warriors who defend the city are men of flesh and blood.

When people are in a panic, there will always be mistakes.

If these beasts come to attack a group of cities, then Wang Hao doesn't have to worry at all, because with the help of city walls and weapons, Wang Hao can let them die in batches.

Even if there are places where some mistakes are made and some soldiers are lost, don't worry, someone will make up for it immediately.

However, if these beasts do not attack the city now, but only continue to strength, and wait until their strength has accumulated to a certain extent, and then launch a general attack on Hwaseong, it will be dangerous.

At that time, there were huge seabirds flying from afar in the sky, and powerful high-level creatures on the ground.

Even if he could ignore those ordinary land creatures, Hwaseong would not allow even the slightest mistake.

Once there is a mistake in the city wall, then perhaps, the slightest mistake will be regarded as a breakthrough by the birds, causing Hwaseong to collapse.

Wang Hao's best idea is that the beasts can come and die in batches, in this way, although it seems that Huacheng has been fighting, these beasts will never be able to form an effective and powerful impact on Huacheng.

Now seeing that the beasts in the direction of the Black Forest have converged, Wang Hao thought for a while, and then said to the clansmen next to him: "Pass the order, prepare the catapult, provoke the beasts, and don't let them accumulate strength." ”

In ancient times, trebuchets have always been used as a weapon for siege. Before the gunpowder came out, as long as the conditions permitted, it was impossible for any siege to be without the existence of trebuchets.

The stones it throws are not only huge, but also have a long shooting distance, and with great power, they can often destroy impregnable walls.

This powerful weapon is often used to siege cities, but it is rarely heard of that people use it to defend cities.

The reason for this, in addition to the wide range of damage, is that the trebuchet is too large to fit on the city wall.

However, this kind of concern does not exist for Hwaseong.

The thirty-meter-wide city wall, even if it is just a horse running on it, there is no problem in the slightest.

Racks of catapults were erected and passed through a winch, quickly turning them to full load.

Looking at these strange things protruding from Huacheng, the lightning eagle in the sky, and the eyes of the big monkey king on the ground, they all showed puzzled looks, they couldn't understand what a trebuchet was.

If you use a trebuchet to throw stones, even if you count the damage caused by the rolling and crushing of the stones, it is not very lethal.

However, for Hwaseong, the things thrown by the trebuchet naturally cannot be stones.

A barrel of black iron large enough to hold an adult was placed.

The only notch was a long, thick lead.

After correcting the direction of the trebuchet's launch, the long lead was ignited by the torch.

Then, with an order, more than a dozen trebuchets fired from the eastern city wall at the same time, shooting out more than a dozen black iron barrels.

Without the support of physical theoretical knowledge, Wang Hao could only strengthen the power of gunpowder to the power of ordinary pyrotechnics.

When the quality can't be improved, Hwaseong can only make up for it with quantity.

The inside of the black ironwood powder keg was stuffed and pounded tightly with a full barrel of gunpowder.

In addition to this, gunpowder was also doped with broken ceramic shards, scrapped bows, arrows, arrows and other sharp and sharp things.

Hwaseong has experimented, such a huge powder keg, although it is full of inferior explosives, but after exploding, the killing range is 12 to 15 meters, and the fragment killing has a radius of 50 meters.

It's a pity that most of the gunpowder is used to make rockets, and the firing method of this powder keg is very troublesome, so the amount stored in Hwaseong is not too much at present.

The thick and long leads are soaked in oil and mixed with spider silk.

Once ignited, even if it falls into the water, it will burn for a while before it goes out. In addition, if you want to extinguish it, you have to cut it with special scissors.

And the conventional methods of tearing teeth and biting cannot destroy it at all.

More than a dozen powder kegs flew into the herd, and except for five or six that hit a few beasts and killed them directly, the rest were half-embedded in the dirt.

Although the fuses of some powder kegs were pressed under the earth, this did not affect their combustion.

As for those with the lead on it, it aroused the interest of many beasts, and they all came up to see what was going on.

As a result, I touched the gunpowder lead and found that there was no other use except for some burning sensation.

A high-level creature of the ape, looking at a powder keg with a lead buried in the ground, felt that it was more round and pleasing to the eye, and after patting it and not finding danger, it sat down directly.

After seeing that the lethality of the powder keg was nothing more than that, the Great Monkey King and the Lightning Eagle, who were no less intelligent than humans, even had some sneering thoughts.

However, what they could not have imagined was that just when they were relieved, these powder kegs exploded!

"Boom!"

A huge wave of sound with a dazzling flash of light then caused a terrifying destructive effect.

Within a radius of more than ten meters where the powder keg exploded, whether it was the beast that had surrounded the vicinity just now or the turf on the ground, they all disappeared without a trace.

A large crater with only dirt left and a charred pit radiating in all directions appeared in its place.

In the middle of the pit, there was not even the slightest bit of the beast's severed limbs.

Within a radius of thirty meters, there was a terrible appearance everywhere, blood stains, half-amputated claws, broken fur, skulls blown away by explosives, fangs of wild beasts, etc., everywhere.

Not only that, but there were many more arrows damaged by the inside of the powder keg, and the beast that was shot through by the finger-sized ceramic shards would not die for a while, and was lying on the ground wailing and screaming.

The second-level ape king who was sitting on top of the powder keg for death, most of his body was directly blown away.

Only half of his right hand was left and a piece of body and head were connected together, and he flew straight out, and then crashed into the body of the Great Monkey King, startling the Great Monkey King.

Looking at the tragic scene caused by a dozen barrels of explosives, the lightning eagle and the great monkey king in the sky were completely stunned.

And ordinary beasts were also frightened by this scene that was even more terrifying than Tianwei.
