Chapter 608: The Castle

Bang!

It was as if the gods were angry, and the serpent shook the earthquake, and the whole of Wuthering City trembled with a terrifying sound. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Baron Terry and Baron Wilfer fell from their frightened horses almost in disarray, their eyes straight and their eardrums rattling.

Watching the terrifying red flames flying from the wooden cannon and falling on the Wuthering Castle, setting off a terrible explosion, even Tana was stunned.

"What is this?"

They looked at Wu Ming together: "A terrible weapon from the devil of hell?" ”

"It worked out great! Go on! ”

Wu Ming looked at the wall where a gap appeared, and ordered again.

He came to this world, developed industry, and cultivated fields for several years, so it was natural that he figured out the most basic rules of physics and chemistry and made similar explosives, which was also reasonable.

It's just that due to the difference in power and the preciousness of iron, it is not possible to cast a pure iron cannon, but the wooden cannon is enough to use.

This wooden cannon is to choose Nanmu, elm, willow and other hard trees as the barrel, must be thick enough, and then hollow out the heart of the tree, dig out a round hole, inlaid into a thick iron pipe, the outside with several iron hoops tightly hoop, and with thick iron wire one by one, and finally drill out of a wooden hole at the tail to place the fuse.

Although it is a dirt method and the launch is slow, it is still an out-and-out murder weapon in this world.

The wooden cannons designed by Wu Ming were eight feet long and half a foot in diameter, and could hold more than a dozen pounds of gunpowder and thirty or forty pounds of broken iron each time.

And, the most important thing is that the manufacturing process is simple, with the existing materials, plus a few carpenters and blacksmiths, it can be continuously tinkered.

It's just that the probability of blowing up the chamber is not small, but Wu Ming spared no expense, and after losing a large number of manpower, he gradually figured out the best ratio, and now the risk is greatly reduced.

Even so, the wooden gunners had to be specially trained and well paid, and the compensation for the dead was extremely heavy.

"It's a pity...... With the tattered foundation of this world, without a hundred years of industrial upgrading, queuing up to be shot, the grand occasion of the cannon giant ship is not to even think about it, but at the expense of work, it is barely possible to hand-polish a few firearms to play. ”

Wu Ming let go of his thoughts and continued to drink: "Aim at the gate of the castle, and the soldiers above!" Don't skimp on ammo, blast them for me! ”

This wooden cannon is not only extremely lethal, but the sound it makes is enough to scare people to death.

Anyway, even if the militia group he led had already been prepared, it was not a small panic, and for other ordinary soldiers who had never seen the power of the cannonballs, it was even more nightmarish horror.

"It's a gift from God!"

The archbishop looked at this scene, and there seemed to be a fire in his eyes: "This is the sacred flame, given to our king, to be used to renew the world!" ”

Tana breathed deeply, her towering chest rising and falling, and her gaze at Wu Ming was full of surprise.

After calculating how much Wu Ming should spend in order to buy off the entire church, she shook her head and began to seriously consider the possibility that this group of divine sticks could speak as true.

This is the limitation of the times, and even any genius must be subject to it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The loud noise continued, and in the blazing explosion, the heavy wooden door of the Whistling Castle finally couldn't bear it, and was hit by a single shot, and the entire explosion exploded, flying out a large amount of blood mist.

In order to increase the lethality, in the wooden cannon, in addition to solid iron bullets, there are also a large number of iron nails, scrap iron pieces and other things, once they explode in the crowd, the end is simply miserable.

By the time all the wooden cannons roared, the original Wuthering Castle had become a complete wreck.

The gunners immediately stepped forward, inspected the barrels, and reloaded.

After each launch, the loading is troublesome, this is the biggest flaw of the wooden cannon, but fortunately, it is a tough battle, and his side has a great advantage, this small flaw is nothing, even if it is a field battle, this wooden artillery unit can carry out a round of bombardment and intimidate the other soldier, Wu Ming is already very satisfied.

"Jack, Ava, come forward with the gendarmerie!"

Wu Ming looked in the direction of the castle gate, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Protect the wooden cannon and the gunner!"

A team of crossbows and crossbows stepped forward and formed an iron wall with swords and shields.

"For the honor of the House of Wellington!"

Sure enough, at the same time as the gendarmerie stepped forward, a squad of knights rushed out at an alarming speed, and the leader shouted loudly, and the sound spread throughout the audience.

"Do you want to sabotage my wooden artillery unit?"

Wu Ming looked at this scene, but smiled coldly.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Jack roared, and the gendarmerie pulled the trigger, and the bow and crossbow in his hand formed a fan-shaped rain of arrows, which completely locked the small space in front of him in one fell swoop.

Woohoo!

The sound of bows and crossbows breaking into human bodies continued one after another, and large swaths of blood exploded, and almost instantly, the team suffered heavy casualties.

"Even if a knight is fired from a bow and crossbow in a small area, it is very dangerous......"

Wu Ming stared at the armored figure at the beginning, the other party was light and agile, and the weight of hundreds of pounds seemed to be nothing on his body, and he rushed to the front of the formation at once.

Most of the crossbow arrows were easily avoided by him, and even if they could be shot at him, the astonishing kinetic energy only made him slightly stunned.

"But how many knights do you have?"

Wu Ming said in a low voice, with no sadness or joy in his eyes.

"Surround him, bow and crossbow suppress!"

Jack roared, also wearing armor, and rushed forward, the blood-steel forged greatsword flashing crimson brilliance.

Bang!

The armored knight threw out an axe, and the two collided in mid-air with a dull sound.

"Kill!"

Jack lunged forward to fend off the knight, and the heavily armed soldiers surrounded them, the crossbowmen aiming far away.

In such a formation, even if the big knight is surrounded, I am afraid that the end will be more than auspicious.

Crash!

After a few crossbow arrows, the armored knight froze, and Jack seized the opportunity, and the greatsword slashed down, cutting off all of his arms.

"Kill!"

The soldiers roared, wielding their nets, and in one fell swoop covered the knight, their swords piercing through the gaps in their armor.

Burst! Burst!

After a few strokes, a large amount of blood flowed out of the armor.

"He's a brave knight!"

Jack solemnly saluted the knight's corpse, and glanced at the figure above the castle, the smell of provocation was very obvious.

In war, even knights may fall.

And charging with the strength of one person, even Wu Ming did not dare to do so.

Seeing the death of this group of knights, there was a commotion in the castle, and there were faint cries and curses.

During this period, another envoy came, wanting to ask for negotiations and let Wu Ming give them at least noble treatment, but Wu Ming refused.

After all, what happened to the Earl of Blue Mountain before was his best excuse.

Now his enemies are no longer the nobles of the past, but despicable murderers, brutal murderers!

To treat them, there is no need to pay attention to the morality of the nobility.

Once the other party breaks the rules, they will break the same again, which is completely in line with the cleanup.

There was a dead silence in the castle, as if the people inside had completely given up their resistance and were waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Tell the Viscount of Eagle Castle and the people of the Heroic Wellington family that they have only one choice, and that is to surrender unconditionally!"

Wu Ming looked at the sunset, and said to the messenger whose face was pale and trembling: "And...... I'll just wait for the time of the two of them! ”

This is actually the time it takes for the wooden cannon to reload, and it is not wasted at all.

And when the dejected envoy returned, Wu Ming did not see the white flag raised as he wished, but the other party began to block the gate of the castle desperately, seemingly ready to resist stubbornly.

"Very well, since they have made their choice, let's send them all to hell!"

Wu Ming didn't have the slightest mercy, and after the wooden cannon was reloaded, he immediately ordered: "Attack, target the city gate!" ”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The cannons roared, and the hapless soldiers and carpenters were torn into pulp by the metal storm almost instantly, and scattered in all directions, and the scene was terrible.

Under the intensity of the shelling, the Whistling Castle suddenly shook, and a section of the city wall also collapsed.

"Order the infantry regiment to come forward and attack from two routes!"

Wu Ming gave an order: "After entering the castle, search every room, I grant you unlimited power to use your sword, and you can directly slash and kill any human who dares to show hostility!" ”

Wuthering Castle naturally needs to be cleaned up.

Moreover, there may be a group of noble captives inside, and even the widows and daughters of the Earl of the Blue Mountains, if they are used, it will be a trouble.

A thorough clean-up is necessary.

"Kill!"

Jack, Ava, and the others had been waiting impatiently.

After hearing Wu Ming's order, a group of knights took the lead in wearing armor, like an assault car opening the way, and rushed into the castle through the gap and the broken gate.

The shouts of killing rang out, and soon turned into wails.

For soldiers who rely on the castle to hold on, watching the castle collapse is simply incomparable in psychological blows.

Wu Ming also knew very well that the 1,000 soldiers could not pose a threat to him at all, and the only thing to be careful about was that the other party used the narrow terrain in the castle to hide in every room and dark corner to fight a war of attrition with him.

Historically, it is not uncommon for people to break through the city walls, but they were consumed in street battles and defeated.

"Prepare for poison smoke!"

Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision: "Once the other party is broken into pieces and hides in the depths of the entire castle, immediately seal the castle and release poisonous mist!" ”

This lack of chivalry suddenly stunned Baron Terry and Baron Wilfer next to him, only Tana's body was shocked, and there was a little more inexplicable brilliance in her eyes when she looked at Wu Ming.

Like thunder, one hit will kill, this is also the king's means!
