A battering ram is actually artillery!

But this new word did not appear in the words of the Noxians, so the Noxian half of the artillery had the name battering ram.

And Arthur and others can also peek into the Noxians' understanding of this weapon from this name.

It's okay, it's okay! Arthur's first reaction when he heard it was that it seemed that they had not yet discovered the terrible effects of artillery in large-scale field battles.

Obviously, this thing is only an experimental weapon in the hands of the Noxians, and those Noxian alchemists should have obtained this weapon by accident, but in the large-scale experiments and corrections, its true characteristics have not yet been discovered.

So the Noxian version of the gun, in fact, was just used as an unconventional special device, and in their opinion it was well suited to prying open the hard shells of those castles? This is already very good, they are not ready to use this weapon on a large scale in the field.

Subsequently, this was evidenced in Grenada's confession.

This is all because this weapon is actually extremely complex in construction, almost entirely a scaled up musket, which makes this Noxian version of the cannon far more complex than the early artillery construction in the history of the earth, the history of the development of firearms on the earth was invented on the basis of the development of artillery, and here, it is completely reversed.

Thus, it is conceivable that, as with all new weapons in the history of warfare, the reliability and rate of fire of the artillery produced under this manufacturing process were critical.

This artillery was very cumbersome to move and fire, and the rate of fire was almost one shot every ten minutes.

As a result, this kind of artillery has no value in field warfare at all, and is only suitable for siege cities.

That's why the Noxians called it a battering ram.

Just now, when attacking the camp, those Noxian gunners may have had an idea and fired so many cannons, in fact, even if the cavalry didn't rush up to kill those artillerymen, those guns were actually dumb.

No one will be able to get them back fired in a short time.

In this way, the Noxians have only just built this thing, and they haven't had time to pull it into battle and test this weapon in actual combat.

Perhaps this is what the Noxians thought in this campaign, and they are also considering testing this new weapon in actual combat, and constantly exploring the use of new weapons.

That's why they were so unhurriedly surrounded on all sides, not at all worried about the Demacians concentrating their forces on defense in the strongest citadel.

But of course, the situation is not as rosy as expected.

Because artillery is a weapon that, as long as it is made, it will be constantly tested, and the Noxians have a strong team of alchemists, and they are at war in almost all directions of their land. Sooner or later, the Noxians will continue to test and improve this kind of artillery in actual combat, and finally create a truly suitable artillery for actual combat.

It's just a matter of time.

With the spirit of exploration and strong action characteristic of the Noxians, this time is not too far away.

At that point, its opponents will find themselves encountering weapons that are truly from hell.

Each artillery piece is almost equivalent to the combat power of an extra mage of about three levels on the battlefield of this era.

Its appearance will change this era.

Thinking of this, Arthur was extremely eager to return to Zaun as soon as possible, to return there, and to start his path to climb the tech tree as soon as possible.

However, on second thought, this is even more dangerous on Demacia's side.

With its artillery and mages, the Noxian Legion was the nemesis of the Demacian Cavalry Legion, and Arthur couldn't imagine how Demacia, lacking magical powers, would be able to withstand the enemy's attack.

Demacia's science and technology, the military industry and the entire state machinery are almost backward in all directions.

This disadvantage is almost irreparable.

This is not something that a small alchemist like him can control.

Arthur could almost imagine the future battle between the two armies, the heroic knights charged one after another, trying to rush into the Noxian artillery positions, but in the end, it was more likely that they would die on the way to the charge, and the mage regiment of the Noxian legion cooperated with the musketeers, which would definitely make those brave knights despair at this time.

Thinking about it this way, would it be better for him to choose to abandon Demacia altogether now?

The Demacians are indeed brave and religious, they are well-trained, and they may be better warriors, but what is the use of these pious beliefs and courage in the face of the power of magic and technology.

This is the general trend!

No one can stop it.

If there is no light in sight, why should we expect it?

What's more, in the past two days, he has also learned the stubbornness of the Demacians, perhaps his initial idea was a mistake.

Arthur was a little frustrated, he didn't see Fiona's news after compiling the interrogation, and he immediately became anxious, and she beckoned the horsemen to dismount and try to bring back a new weapon of the enemy, which the Noxians called a battering ram.

That kind of artillery weighs several tons!

But she chose to take it back.

What a crazy idea!

They used the camel beasts that the Noxians had captured in the barracks to carry artillery, and it was obvious that the Noxians were not smart enough to make matching artillery carts for these artillery, so the size of the cart used to carry artillery was extremely large, two meters wide and four meters long, and the huge wheels under the cart each weighed hundreds of pounds.

The Noxians also seem to have high hopes for this new weapon, as it would take more than four large camels to pull on the cannon for such a cart.

"Hurry up, guys!"

Fiona, dressed in her beautiful light armor, stood on the cart with her waist crossed, brandishing a horsewhip and shouting at her men,

"We're running out of time, enemy reinforcements will arrive in a few minutes."

"We have to transport this big creature back to the castle, we have to have our technicians study it well and find out its weaknesses, this is the most important task right now, we must complete it."

Then she turned to Arthur and shouted:

"Mr. Arthur! What can you do now, let's bring this big guy back faster, it's important to us! ”

Arthur looked at what he saw as a huge, ugly battering ram, and he could understand Fiona's idea of bringing it back.

Because of this, she was able to use its demonstration to intimidate and convince her superiors that perhaps it would be better for the Demacians to abandon the strategy of holding on to the castle first, and to withdraw earlier.

In this way, the Demacian legion may have some losses when retreating, but at least it can guarantee that it will not be completely destroyed, yes, Fiona feels that there is really such a possibility, if the Galen legion in the castle has been trapped in the city like this, and is finally surrounded by the Noxians, then this army may really be completely annihilated.

The new weapons of the Noxians may have been rudimentary in the eyes of him as a traverser, but they were a deadly nemesis against the tactics of the current Demacian Legion.

Now the Demacians in the castle are in very dangerous situations.

In front of it, the fortified walls of Jean Deleu's castle are no longer the shelter of the Demacians, but their tombs!
