Hall City is a small city belonging to the border of Shazsuba, the population of the whole city does not exceed 10,000, covers an area of only more than 3,000 acres, it takes less than two quarters of an hour to walk from the south to the north, it is a veritable small city.

As soon as Guan Ning led the army to arrive, the entire Hall City knew that at least half of the only more than 6,000 young men in the city had gone to the city wall.

The army stopped about a mile away from Hall City, and looking at the small city in front of him, Guan Ning felt a little toothache.

It's not that he thinks this city is wrong, but he thinks if it would be too wasteful to use a secret weapon to fight this city?

But when you think about it, it's not.

Their main purpose this time is to deter, and if they don't waste it, they should be put behind, and the most important thing is to let the whole body poison see their strength.

After thinking about it carefully, Guan Ningdang decided to use it!

Even this small city can be used, give them a little shock!

Immediately, Guan Ning called his subordinates and ordered: "Go, notify us, and prepare our secret weapon!"

Let the catapult use the stones to adjust the direction target, and when it finds the right direction, switch to the secret weapon.

Remember, the secret weapons we brought out this time are limited, don't waste them on me! ”

"Yes! The end will understand! ”

The general took the order, and soon a dozen catapults were pulled up from the rear of the army, advancing directly to a distance of less than two hundred paces under the city of Hall.

Immediately after that, these people began to debug the catapult directly in front of the people of Hall City.

The way to debug is simple, the boulders are loaded onto the catapult and then ejected.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen boulders roared and smashed on the walls of Hall City, causing the defenders in the city to panic and scurry around to avoid the threat posed by the boulders.

This expedition was not only Guanning and their 50,000 people coming, the eldest prince may have sent a group of about 200 people to observe and study this time, or for some other purpose, he also sent a group of about 200 people to accompany the army.

Now, as soon as they saw that the army of Tianyun Kingdom was actually only using catapults to attack Hall City, the other troops did not make any moves, and immediately began to discuss.

"Are the people of the Cloud Kingdom stupid these days? Why did they attack with catapults, if it were me, I would definitely order the infantry to attack the city while the catapults were panicking.

Although the catapult is powerful, its lethality is limited after all, and it cannot be relied on alone to complete the siege. ”

"Who knows what they're thinking, but that's not right, if they only have this level, how can they beat us like this, I think it took them ten days to capture all the cities in the whole of Jörshire!

With such siege power and speed, it shouldn't take much effort to fight a Hall City! ”

"Let's see, look again, maybe there is something to do with what they do."

The observation group talked a lot, but the expeditionary force was unmoved, and just carried out the siege steadily according to the plan set before.

Soon, after three rounds of accuracy, the catapult finally locked onto the target.

At this time, the head of Hall City has also been smashed by their three rounds of targeted projectiles, and the casualties are heavy!

The length of the whole city wall is not more than four miles, the width is not more than two zhang, more than 6,000 young people in the city are divided into four sides of the city, and there are more than 1,500 young people guarding a city wall, and the degree of congestion can be imagined.

As soon as the boulder of the catapult fell, more than a thousand people could not even run on the city wall, so they could only be honestly smashed.

After the three rounds of effectiveness, the position of the city wall was much empty, but it was paid for hundreds of casualties.

When the catapult had set its target, it stopped attacking for a moment, and the young men defending the city at the head of the city immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they really loosened their breath a little too soon.

The reason why the catapults of the expeditionary force stopped was to change ammunition.

In just a quarter of an hour, the new "ammunition" was ready, and when the catapult commander let it go, several squares of wrapping-like things were thrown by the catapult far away towards the head and gate of Hall City!

Seeing that something was being thrown again, the defenders of Hall City, who had already encountered three rounds of projectiles, were considered to have experience, and Qi Qi slightly dodged around the landing point of that thing.

In their minds, this should be fine, after all, as long as those stones don't bounce up, then just avoid their landing point.

Before, it was too crowded and there was nowhere to hide, but now it has a place.

What was thrown by the catapult quickly fell. A square wrapped in oiled paper and linen fell, next to the boulder from earlier.

The defenders of Hall City, who had dodged, looked at this strange thing that fell suspiciously, wondering what it was?

Why would the enemy throw such a thing up, but everyone heard a sizzling sound.

"Alisha, did you hear anything?"

Among the defenders, one of them suddenly asked his companion beside him suspiciously.

The companion named Alisha nodded and replied:

"I heard it, it seemed to come from something strange that had fallen."

Just as the two of them were wondering, they didn't realize that there was a lead burning to the end of the square linen bag that they thought was strange.

Just when the defenders were still confused, they only heard a bang!

The next moment, they no longer had a chance to wonder!

Thundered! Thundered! Thundered!

More than a dozen deafening roars rang out at the walls and gates of Hall City, and the terrifying light of the fire was like a life-devouring demon devouring a group of ignorant and undangerous Hall defenders!

Let them go straight to the next stage of their lives!

That's right!

The secret weapon that Zhao Jun handed over to the expeditionary force was gunpowder!

After continuous experiments, under the guidance of Zhao Jun, Yunzhou County finally made black powder!

Although it is only the simplest black powder, it is completely enough to be used on the battlefield.

A bag of gunpowder filled nearly 20 catties, that is, about 10,000 grams of black powder, which was enough to clear the surrounding radius of more than ten meters after ignition!

And Hall City became the first city to experience the power of black powder!

The roar of the whole day continued to sound with the continuous ejection of catapults, and a deafening roar continued to sound on the walls of Hall City, and even the gates of Hall City, which were only secondary targets, had been blown up in the second round of projection, and the city gates had already been opened!

But the catapult man seemed to be having fun, even though the city gate had been opened, he still did not stop his movements, but instead re-aimed the catapult that was originally aimed at the city gate, and then fired at the city head together!

In the continuous explosions, the defenders at the head of Hall City were frightened and cried and fled everywhere, but there were falling gunpowder bags everywhere, and they had nowhere to escape.

The falling gunpowder bags quickly cleared the defenders of the city, and this scene was clearly seen by the observation group in the expeditionary force.

The observation group, who had never seen such a scene, had already stopped talking just now, and looked at the hellish scene at the head of Hall City with shocked faces, and they were all stunned in place!

And this is exactly the scene that Guan Ning wants them to see.

It's just that after seeing that the city gates had been blown open, and the group of bastards in front of him were still pouring explosives bags into the city, Guan Ning suddenly jumped to his feet in anger!

"it! Didn't I tell them that the amount of gunpowder was limited! Let them save some use!

Put on airs! O loser! Come! Come on!

Stop them for me! If I don't stop them, these bastards won't be going to throw all my gunpowder bags out!"

it! It's all a bunch of thrifty stuff that doesn't understand! ”
