The craftsmen of Boer City looked in horror at the large crater left behind by the explosion in front of them, this explosion has exceeded their understanding, people living in the fjord of death, still know more about all kinds of siege weapons, this mysterious black powder, even more terrifying than the huge stones thrown by catapults, for what Meria repeatedly told them before, they finally believe that this kind of work, indeed walking on the tip of a knife, can die at any time.

Meria also showed the craftsmen how to mix gunpowder in proportion, how to fill it, and how to use it. When Ron was still in Hamp City, the ratio of gunpowder mixing was only told to a few people, and now among the people in Ball City, only Merial and Will knew the recipe better. If the black powder could not have been mixed in the correct proportions, it would not have been possible to have such a powerful explosion.

As long as these workers can be controlled, it is absolutely impossible for the formula of gunpowder to leak to other countries and other territories.

Meria was definitely a clever man, and he understood that the power of gunpowder was definitely not only reflected in the use of lethal weapons such as bombs, but also in the effect of attacking and destroying the walls, even better than catapults and sassal wood.

By the time the craftsmen had settled in, it was nearly midnight, and Meria had finally left the pungent smell, outside of which Will and Kiru were waiting for him.

"Your Excellency, you have recruited a lot of blacksmiths today, it is said that you are not using these blacksmiths to forge weapons?" Kiru frowned and said: "There is no shortage of armaments and materials in our Boer City in a short period of time, but once the war breaks out, it may still be a little stretched. ”

"Rest assured, the presence of gunpowder will reduce the need for war readiness materials a lot. Meria smiled, "These blacksmiths are indeed very useful. When Ron was in Hamp City, he talked to me a lot about gunpowder, and I needed these stickers to create a barrel that was tough enough, and the barrel had to be strong and tough enough to withstand enough pressure, and even if the gunpowder exploded in the iron pipe, the barrel could not be loosened in any way. ”

Will and Kiru glanced at each other, this level of iron pipe is not so easy to build.

"This seamless iron pipe makes it possible to make a weapon that can use black gunpowder. Merial said loudly: "Use the impetus of the gunpowder explosion to spray out the iron sand and iron sheets in the iron pipe, and kill the enemy, both in speed and power are much higher than ordinary bows and crossbows, and most importantly, the threshold of this weapon is extremely low, as long as there are enough materials, even the most ordinary soldiers, soldiers with insufficient arm strength to pull the bow and arrow, can use this weapon to kill the enemy." ”

"My lord, this is a good idea, but can you really make such a weapon?" Will couldn't help but say, "Even Brother Ron has said that this weapon is just a conjecture now, and it is tantamount to a castle in the air, how easy is it to say?"

If Ron was here, he would definitely agree with what Will said, but this is just the most ordinary iron sand gun, even so in this world, it is not possible to make it in a moment and a half, if it is a more advanced smoothbore gun, the requirements for the barrel are even more demanding, which will require more advanced technology - lathes, steam, steel......

"If there is a difficulty, you have to find a way to solve it, even the bomb gunpowder, before it was born, can you imagine that it is real?" Meria sighed lightly: "Our current problem is that the combat strength is too weak, and the weakness of the military strength must be compensated for with this kind of equipment advantage." ”

Meria glanced deeply at the two officers: "It's not too early, let's arrange these jobs as soon as possible." ”

......

In Yod, thousands of miles away from Boer City, the 2nd Army of Beru, which was already in charge of the defense of the entire Yode Town, turned the entire Yode Town into their base camp.

In the battle of Yode Town, the elite of Noah's First Army can be said to have been exhausted, and the elite cavalry of the Northern Army of Kernillo joined the entire battle, but the consumption of the Belu people is also huge, and Lampard has sent people to the country to ask for military support.

'Captain Frank Lampard, we have to go tomorrow. ”

The commander of the cavalry unit sent by the Northern Army this time was sitting in Lampard's office in the Lord's Mansion of Yod, facing Lampard face to face.

"Our troops have suffered heavy losses, most of them are out of formation, and I will not let my soldiers go straight in and attack until reinforcements from the Duchy of Belu arrive. ”

Frank Lampard's tone was resolute, he sat in the lord's seat of the lord's house, many papers piled on the table, and the night breeze from the window lattice, which rattled the parchment that weighed down the stones.

"We have to attack tomorrow, and we're doing what we're told, and if we don't get the mission done on time, Captain Kate's side will take my head. "Novak, the commander of the cavalry, was a pale-faced young man, who looked sickly, but seeing how he fought on the battlefield, no one doubted how he had earned his rank. The lives of the Noahs in his hands are definitely more than 100 people.

"Although the Principality of Noah has been defeated again and again, their main force is still there, and a rash attack will only increase our casualties. Frank Lampard stared at Novak: "It's so far from here to Boer, aren't you worried about being ambushed on the road?"

"Hmph, there's no army in the Deathfjords to defeat us yet. The corners of Novak's mouth rose slightly: "Your Second Legion has suffered heavy casualties, but our elites are still there." Didn't your troops have already attacked Boer before? Do you think that our elite Northern Army will not be able to take a small Boer city?"

"Rest assured, our mission is not to take your city, I need the head of the city defense officer of Boer City. Novak sneered.

Lampard's eyes wandered, it was not difficult to attack Boer City, he was worried about the logistics supply of his army, as well as the defense of the follow-up city, after occupying Boer City, they could say that they were alone in the territory of the Duchy of Noah, but in this matter, the Northern Army took the initiative in the "position".

"Well, I'll send an army tomorrow and attack with you!"
