Chapter 150: The Red-Coated Cannon
Hearing this, Liu Wuyi pushed him away and left him on the ground like garbage.
Then hurried to the west gate of Yundong City.
Behind him, a group of lieutenants and entourages were followed by a whooping voice, looking extremely lively.
As the generals rushed to the city wall, everyone was immediately frightened by the scene in front of them.
Everyone's eyes widened in shock, and their mouths were open but they couldn't speak.
Wang Luo pointed to a gap in the city wall, and stammered: "This, is this the great grandmaster personally attacked?" ”
His words caused all the lieutenants to look at Liu Wu suspiciously.
As the chief general in the army, he is the only one who has seen the Grand Master personally take action.
When everyone saw this scene, the first thing they thought of was that the masters of the rivers and lakes under Su Mo personally attacked the city.
This is done to intimidate the people.
On the side, Liu Wu looked at a gap in the city wall, and the whole person was shocked.
It looks like the city wall has collapsed near a circular tunnel.
With such a wide range, even a great grandmaster may not be able to do it.
They all have broken yuan crossbows on the city wall, just to prevent local grandmasters from directly attacking the city wall.
Now the broken Yuan crossbows everywhere are scattered to the side, and they have been shattered by one blow.
With such a method, ordinary great grandmasters can't do it at all, and the person who makes the move is either the peak of the great grandmaster, or the powerhouse of the heavenly and human realms.
Liu Wu looked at the frightened soldiers on the city wall, and asked coldly, "Who made the move, have you ever seen the face of the person who came?" ”
The soldier trembled and replied, "No, no one made a move!" ”
"That's it, it's like this with a bang!"
Hearing his words, Liu Wu was stunned.
No one made a move?
Just a loud bang to become like this?
The other party must have used a Taoist talisman.
But as soon as the idea arose, he vetoed it.
Each Taoist talisman takes a great deal of effort to draw.
There are even fewer Taoist talismans of this power.
It is usually used by everyone as a means of saving lives, how can anyone use it to attack the city.
The lieutenants on the side were also full of thoughts.
This is probably the result of some magic weapon.
If the other party can still urge such a magic weapon again, how can everyone be opponents?
It is unbelievable that a single blow can destroy a wall of nearly two feet.
Wang Luo, who was on the side, stepped forward and asked in a panicked voice.
"General, what should we do?"
"Do you want to repair this wall?"
Liu Wutou didn't even reply and called a group of craftsmen and asked them to come and repair the city wall.
Looking at the busy craftsmen, Liu Wu's eyes flashed with a stunning light.
Among them, there is fear, panic, disobedience, and confusion.
He didn't know how many more such attacks the border army under Su Mo could make.
How many times can the walls of Yundong City withstand such bombardments?
Whether to defend or retreat, he was hesitant for the first time at this time.
Previously, Liu Wu originally wanted to live and die with Yundong City.
Even if it can't be defended, it will have to delay the Sumo border army for a while longer.
In order to ensure that the reinforcements of the Dawu Dynasty came, and then encircled and annihilated the border army under Su Mo.
Now the situation in front of him made him think differently in his heart.
Maybe they weren't the opponents of Su Mo's border army at all?
As soon as this thought arose, Liu Wu directly expelled it from his mind.
He roared loudly, directing his soldiers to repair the city walls and deploy the broken crossbow.
Even all the masters of the rivers and lakes in the city were dispatched to the city wall in case of emergency.
On the other side, Bai Qi's border troops looked at the city wall not far away, and their hearts were shocked.
As the commander of the vanguard army, Cheng Meng is quite familiar with the thickness of the city walls of Yundong City.
The border military towns of the Dawu Dynasty were all forged with quartz stone.
In order to prevent the loss of the city, it is specially thickened and aggravated.
Ordinary siege crossbows can only leave marks on the city walls, and then they will be uprooted by the defenders.
Now this redcoat cannon can bombard a gap of this range with just one shot.
If the city was to be attacked by soldiers, it would have cost thousands of brothers the lives of thousands of brothers to take the city wall.
With just one shot, he could do what thousands of brothers could not do.
His mood at this time was already difficult to describe with shock, Cheng Meng slapped his horse and hurried to Bai Zhi's side, and said anxiously.
"General, let's take the vanguard to the city!"
"With this gap, I only need 10,000 people to break the city!"
Cheng Meng was not just anxious at this time.
He was already eager to directly lead his vanguard army to the city wall, and then take Yundong City directly.
For him, climbing the city wall first is also a great achievement, and it cannot be missed.
Looking at Cheng Meng's anxious expression, he looked at the city wall with white eyes, and said indifferently.
"There's no hurry!"
"This time, the general gave a full 8,000 shells, and they must be used!"
"Let's see how many shots Yundong City can take!"
For Bai Qi, capturing Yundong City with fewer casualties is the best choice.
Even Bai Qi didn't expect that the power of the red-clothed cannon could be so exaggerated.
A single cannon could blast through more than two feet of the city wall.
If such power appeared in a siege battle, he could not imagine how the tide of battle would change.
If you defend the city by yourself, the opponent will use the red-coated cannon to attack the city.
He thought about it, but there was no resistance.
According to the general's instructions before his death, these shells were filled with spirit stones and engraved formations, which were more terrifying than the gunpowder developed in the military factory.
The latter repeatedly told that the red-coated cannon should not be abused, and that it should only be used to attack the city.
Bai Qi didn't know what he meant before, but now he understood.
Just one shot can blow up more than two zhang of vacancies, which is still an extremely strong wall defense.
If this cannon falls in a private house, all the people within a radius of three zhang will be destroyed!
On the side, an adjutant general took a deep breath.
"The power of this red-clothed cannon is simply terrifying, and I'm afraid that ordinary grandmasters can only take one blow!"
Cheng Meng retorted when he heard this.
"Grandmaster? I'm afraid that even the Great Grandmaster won't be able to take this blow! ”
"It's more than two feet, this is the city wall of Yundong City!"
"It's not a wall of sand!"
These words made the lieutenants quite recognized.
It is not uncommon for an ordinary grandmaster to be able to dent the earth with a single blow, and the area is more than two feet.
It's just that this red-clothed cannon is bombarding the city wall of Yundong City, and the degree of solidity cannot be compared with the flat ground, and the power is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary grandmasters.
If the two are compared, a blow from the red-clothed cannon is equivalent to a full blow from a great grandmaster.
Everyone has seen the firing method of the red-coated cannon, which is to simply aim in the direction and then ignite and fire.
This method is much simpler than a great grandmaster forcibly attacking the city, and then blasting out all his strength in front of everyone.
Therefore, the red-clothed cannon cannot be measured by the full force of the Great Grandmaster's blow.
Also take into account convenience, security, continuity, and more.
For siege warfare, a red-clothed cannon is worthy of the powerhouses of dozens of great grandmasters.
Cheng rubbed it violently on the side, and said expectantly.
"When I return to Tai'an City, I will go to the military advisor and ask for a thousand eight hundred rounds!"
