Chapter 431

With an order, Duke Austin's army began to prepare.

Four or five men operated the medium-sized trebuchets, spread the tossing pan with all their strength, and placed the powder pack on it.

Zhang Chunhua watched all this from the top of the city, and she even had a relatively crude telescope.

It's not strange to see a trebuchet, but the stuff inside the trebuchet is weird.

Zhang Chunhua suddenly remembered that Shen Lang had said that the Vulcan Sect already had gunpowder, and had let go of fireworks before, so he had to guard against it.

So what the enemy's trebuchet is going to hit is not a stone, but a gunpowder bag?

But Zhang Chunhua now has a very good understanding of gunpowder. If it is black gunpowder, it is not very lethal to the city wall. Only in a closed space can the strongest lethality erupt.

"Everyone, get down!"

Zhang Chunhua ordered, followed by two officers.

Immediately, all five hundred people on the 3,000-meter city wall lay on the ground.

"Don't put your heart against the ground." Zhang Chunhua ordered again.

These orders are already very professional. In fact, there is no need for her to order them. The warriors of the Eastern Knights and Roland Knights are already very experienced.

"emission!"

"emission!"

With the order of the Vulcan priest.

"Whoosh whoosh ..." Thirty trebuchets hurled over, and thirty prototype gunpowder packets flew toward them.

Although this is a medium-sized catapult, the weight of each gunpowder bag is not large, so it directly projects a distance of 300 meters.

Several Vulcan priests stared at this scene with blurred eyes.

The wrath of Vulcan is about to come to the world, and the next thing is an earth-shattering explosion.

Those oriental people will be so frightened that they will collapse directly.

The wrath of these Vulcans was enough to completely tear the 3,000-meter city wall in front.

The Vulcan priest glanced at Duke Austin, and the meaning was very clear.

Wait for the miracle to happen, Earl Austin.

The distance of 300 meters came in an instant.

Soon, the thirty gunpowder packets fell violently.

"Boom boom boom..."

It is indeed an extremely shocking explosion, a series of explosions.

The explosion of each gunpowder package alone is not shocking enough, but the explosion of thirty together is indeed amazing enough.

Almost the entire ground was shaking.

In an instant, the Liuli City Wall was completely shrouded in black smoke, as if it had completely disappeared.

The cavalry and warhorses of Earl Austin were also frightened and jumped up and down.

The Vulcan priest said: "Your Excellency Count, have you seen it? This is the power of the Vulcan's wrath. I think the enemy should have no survivors, so let them go to hell to repent. And this ugly city wall should have already shattered."

Earl Austin frowned, the explosion is indeed amazing enough right now, but in his opinion, leading the knights to charge and fight is the real romance. If future wars only need such long-distance explosions, what's the point?

"Your Excellency, wait for the smoke to clear and you will see what hell is really like."

"This group of oriental people must have never seen such a weapon of the gods, and they will be completely shattered and their souls will be scattered."

"From now on, this fear will be etched in the depths of their souls, making them afraid to step into the Western world again."

…………

The smoke of this black powder was too thick, and it was still in the valley, and it took a while for the smoke to dissipate.

Then……

The scene was a little embarrassing, and the six-mile city wall was still there, even intact.

Earl Austin couldn't help but look at the Vulcan priest, what's going on?

Didn't you guys demonstrate like me before? The whole house was shattered in an instant, it was just an explosion.

And now the wrath of thirty Vulcans exploded, and the enemy's 3,000-meter city wall didn't even break a single one.

The Vulcan priest said: "Your Excellency Count, everyone on the city wall must have been bombed to death. Some of the Vulcan's wrath is used to kill enemies, and some are used to destroy houses."

But a moment later, a face-slapping scene happened. Shen Lang's 500 troops climbed up from the ground, and the casualties were minimal.

Earl Austin was stunned. Such an amazing explosion just now could not kill the enemy?

Why is this so?

Yes, the explosion of the enemy gunpowder package just now, the visual effect is really shocking, why is the result so small?

There are several reasons.

First, the accuracy of the trebuchet was really bad. Most of the gunpowder packets hit the city wall directly, and then rolled to the ground. Eighty or ninety percent of the gunpowder packets exploded on the ground.

This city wall is not extremely strong, but it is also poured with cement and bricks, and it is more than one meter thick. And this gunpowder pack is only heavy, at most twenty kilograms of black gunpowder, and it is not in a closed environment, all the explosive energy is dissipated into the air, what kind of bullshit power does it have on a city wall more than one meter thick.

Don't forget that when Jin Mulan attacked Zhenxi City, she used more than 3,000 catties of black gunpowder in the closed city gate to barely blow down half of the city gate.

Second, even if four gunpowder packets hit the city wall, it did not explode immediately. Three of them were thrown off the city wall, and only one really exploded on the city wall.

This gunpowder pack of more than 20 kilograms of gunpowder exploded on the ground, everyone was lying on the ground, how much lethality could it have.

More than a dozen people were burnt, both large and small, but none were actually killed.

………………

Seeing this scene, Duke Austin said coldly: "Your Excellency the priest, is this the wrath of the Vulcan you said?"

The Vulcan priest was also very surprised and puzzled, but he couldn't blame them either. In Vulcanism, it is the alchemists who are responsible for manufacturing, and their group of priests who are responsible for promoting.

The use of these gunpowder in actual combat is also the first time for Vulcanism.

Why is this so? When I did the experiment before, it was obviously powerful, why has it become so clumsy now?

"Your Excellency Count, don't worry, we have other weapons." The Vulcan priest said.

Earl Austin said: "I really can't understand why Brooke trusts you and reuses you, but I am willing to give you another chance, but if it doesn't work this time, leave everything to us."

Vulcan priest said: "Your Excellency Count, please wait and see."

Then, the Vulcan priest waved his hand, and hundreds of Vulcan warriors pushed out hundreds of carts.

If Shen Lang saw this scene, he would definitely exclaim.

God Machine Arrow?

The Vulcan Cult is so awesome that it made a rocket launcher so early?

Because there are nine tubes on each cart, and each tube has a rocket inside it.

Not a modern rocket, but an ancient rocket, a two-meter-long giant arrow with a cannon-like thing tied to the shaft.

When Zhang Chunhua saw this scene, he couldn't help but be surprised. This weapon of the Vulcan Sect looks very tall.

Although I don't know what it is, it looks very powerful, it really has the feeling of an ancient Katyusha rocket launcher.

"ignition!"

The Vulcan priest gave an order.

Then, a truly amazing scene happened.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

This picture really looks like the launch of a Katyusha rocket launcher.

One after another, the rockets dragged their long tail flames and shot wildly towards the city wall a few hundred meters away.

There are nine on each trolley, a total of hundreds of trolleys, and thousands of rockets are shot wildly at once.

In an instant.

It really seems like thousands of meteor showers are smashing away.

This visual effect makes people feel like peeing. Not scary, but amazing.

There are only hundreds of rocket launchers in modern world military performances at once. Thousands of rockets roared out all of a sudden, it was so beautiful.

Earl Austin was stunned. Has war become like this?

This is another kind of romance.

Zhang Chunhua stared blankly at this scene, and there was only one thought in her mind.

This Vulcan priest is just as exaggerated as Shen Lang.

"Squat for a while!" Zhang Chunhua ordered.

The rocket weapon, Shen Lang had already experimented with, and then gave up directly.

So good-looking, but combat power? Not bad for attacking dense enemy arrays, but for attacking walls?

Which genius came up with this idea?

"Whoosh whoosh..."

These thousands of rockets can be awesome, and they can fly far and far.

It flew out of the kilometer directly, and flew directly from the top of the city wall.

Zhang Chunhua and the warriors on the city wall also looked up and watched these rockets fly over their heads, and then flew directly to the back of the city gate a few hundred meters before falling.

Who are they going to hit? Where is this going to hit?

The second wave of rocket attacks by Vulcanism, the visual effects are even more stunning.

But the result was zero, the angle was adjusted too high, and all flew over the city wall.

A two-way peek.

Earl Austin stopped talking and turned to look at the Vulcan priest.

Zhang Chunhua looked at the Vulcan priest with her beautiful eyes. Your attack method was too good-looking just now, is there anything else?

The Vulcan priest said hoarsely: "Count Austin, there is actually no problem with our weapons, but the accuracy is not enough. We need to adjust it, please give us..."

Before she could finish speaking, Earl Austin directly raised his hand to stop her.

"Master priest, I can see that the weapon of your Vulcan's wrath is indeed very powerful, and it can indeed change the entire war, but that is in the future, not now, so leave the next war to us."

The Vulcan priest was very bitter and said loudly: "Your Excellency Count, please give us another chance..."

Earl Austin said: "Your Excellency the priest, I know that you want to behave. You need to give an account to the high priest and an account to Debos, and you can't live up to her trust. But please also believe me, I may behave like Very arrogant, but I don't have much prejudice in my heart. I really see the power of your weapons, Vulcanism is indeed powerful and awesome. But at least the weapons in your hands are not mature enough, it's just a small Fight, so please leave it to me next?"

"In addition, my reverence for Vulcanism has not changed. You are just a low-level priest, and you should have stronger weapons in the hands of Vulcanism. Are you satisfied with what I say?"

"Your Majesty, can I lead my army to attack the enemy city wall now?"

The young Vulcan priest stepped back and said, "Your will."

………………

Earl Austin did not lie against his will. In the past ten years, he has traveled the world and is indeed well-informed.

The two rounds of gunpowder attack by the Vulcan Sect just now, although the results were very ugly, he still saw that this weapon is indeed very amazing, and once it matures, it will directly subvert the entire war.

I'm not an ignorant Austin, but at least the war is still in the hands of our warriors.

The tall Duke Austin looked at the 3,000-meter city wall. There were thick smoke and black marks everywhere, but it was stronger than expected.

But no matter how sturdy it is, it is still short, and it has only five hundred defenders.

The Duke of Austin shouted: "The army is in formation!"

Immediately, 10,000 troops assembled and lined up, fully armed.

Duke Debos was extremely wealthy, so every soldier was equipped with iron armor, almost armed to the teeth.

All the 10,000 siege army were tall and strong men, carrying siege ladders over six meters.

The Duke of Austin climbed to a nearby hillside and commanded the battle from a height.

He is very arrogant, but when the battle really comes, he is an absolutely calm general, even in the face of the weakest enemy, he is absolutely meticulous.

His position at this time is higher than Zhang Chunhua's city wall, and he can clearly see the defenses on the city wall.

He knew that in the defensive battle of the Eastern people, a large number of bows and arrows, rolling logs, boulders, rolling oil, etc. would be prepared.

But there are no oriental people here. Their supplies are too scarce, and their preparations are too hasty. Even this city wall was just built not long ago.

There are only 500 people in a city wall of 3,000 meters. On average, one person has to defend 6 meters. How is this possible?

Ten thousand people charged and attacked the city, and they could take it in half an hour at most.

The assembly lineup is complete!

Earl Austin drew his great sword and shouted, "The army is attacking the city!"

"Well……"

A long horn sounded.

Suddenly, Austin's 10,000 siege army began to charge.

This is a very professional army, even when charging, it is not scattered at all, full of special rhythms.

Not rushing at the beginning, but gradually accelerating, faster and faster.

The charge of the tens of thousands of troops is still neat and tidy, and it looks like a visual enjoyment, like a torrent of steel.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

As the tens of thousands of troops charged, the entire ground began to tremble.

Earl Austin's estimate is correct. This 10,000-strong army can capture Zhang Chunhua's city wall in at most half an hour. Shen Lang's defenders were very powerful, but with a small number of people, one person would definitely not be able to defend the six-meter city wall.

It doesn't even take half an hour, Austin's army of 10,000 can take this six-mile gate at most in a quarter of an hour.

The army charged faster and faster, and the shouts in the mouth became more and more passionate.

"Go, go, go."

"Charge, charge."

"For the sake of the empire, for the sake of Duke Debos, kill this group of Orientals, kill them all."

The 10,000 army is getting closer and closer to the city wall, getting closer and closer!

Zhang Chunhua narrowed his eyes, overlooking the ten thousand enemy troops on the city wall.

Almost, almost all have entered the range.

I am really distressed. The explosives that have been made with great difficulty in more than a month are going to be used up all at once.

Zhang Chunhua waved his hand.

Two officers behind him waved flags.

Immediately, the defenders on the left and right of the city wall all fell down, hid behind the battlements, and kept their hearts away from the ground.

This posture seems to be a group of small beasts to avoid the earthquake.

When Duke Austin saw this scene, his face changed drastically.

It was too abnormal. My army was about to rush under the city wall. Why did the oriental defenders above lie down instead?

For more than ten years, he has been taking risks everywhere, developing a beast-like intuition.

At this moment, he felt the fatal danger, and the hairs on his whole body stood up instantly.

"Stop the army, stop!"

The Duke of Austin shouted, and the messenger on the mountain was stunned, and then waved the flag.

The 10,000 siege army was shocked, but still obeyed the order and stopped.

Earl Austin's scalp was numb, and after a pause for a few seconds, he issued the order again: "The army spreads out, retreats, retreats..."

This is a very good fighter, so decisive.

Although he didn't understand, the 10,000 troops under his command who attacked the city gates turned around and prepared to retreat.

It can't be spread out here because the valley is too narrow.

However……

It's too late.

The whole world fell into an eerie silence.

At this time, an astonishing amount of explosives had been buried under the feet of this 10,000-strong army.

This is not black powder, but a powerful explosive.

At this time, the long underground wires were constantly burning, and the sparks kept swimming towards a large amount of explosives.

In order to ensure the detonation, there are a total of dozens of leads and dozens of fulminates.

Count Austin glanced at the defenders on the city wall again, and found that they were still lying on the ground, holding their ears tightly with both hands.

He knew it was too late!

Then, he quickly covered his ears.

Tick, tick, tick.

The 10,000 siege army below has just finished turning around and is about to retreat.

The tens of thousands of troops behind them were watching all this in silence and strangeness.

Tick ​​tock!

Time is up!

The lead burned, detonating the fulminate.

The fulminate detonates a powerful explosive.

moment!

"Boom boom boom boom..."

This……

It was a truly earth-shattering explosion.

The loud noise is like thunder, which is deafening.

This is the power closest to the power of heaven and earth.

Compared with the explosion of the gunpowder bag of the Vulcan religion just now, it was more than ten times astonishing.

In an instant!

As if the earth dragon turned over, in the valley several hundred meters vertically and horizontally.

The whole ground was suddenly lifted and torn!

And on this piece of ground, there are ten thousand siege troops standing densely.

They were fully armed, not only with armor, but also with shields.

But all to no avail.

Their bodies are so fragile in the face of an astonishing amount of explosives.

It's just smashed to pieces.

Countless corpses, countless broken arms and stumps flew into the sky.

"Boom boom boom..."

The explosions continued incessantly.

The entire ground, the entire six-mile city wall was trembling.

A powerful shock wave suddenly swept away towards both sides of the valley.

As if the wind was blowing wheat waves, the tens of thousands of Count Austin's army fell to the ground as if they were swept by a hurricane even though they were hundreds of meters away.

The closest soldier even flew out.

Then, the whole world seemed to lose its voice.

There was a roar in everyone's ears, and the whole brain seemed to explode.

Earl Austin was not far from the explosion point. When the explosion occurred, he felt that his body was directly blown out for several meters.

"boom!"

His majestic body slammed hard on the cliff, and then rolled down.

But he was so strong that he jumped up and straightened up again.

"Pfft..." A mouthful of blood came out of his mouth.

Then, he shook his head desperately, trying to make himself see and hear clearly.

The shock wave of the explosion was too strong, and everyone else would have died, but Earl Austin just had some concussions.

Fortunately, he covered his ears in time, otherwise the eardrums must have been shattered at this time.

He beat his head desperately, trying to wake himself up immediately.

"The messenger, the messenger..."

"Servant, attendant..."

Earl Austin roared, but the world seemed to be silent, and he couldn't even hear his own voice for a while.

After recovering his vision a little, he found that there were no messengers and no attendants. The dozens of warriors who were beside him just now were all dead. The seven holes were bleeding, and the sternum was broken. They died extremely badly.

Not everyone is as strong as he is to survive even so close to the explosion.

The whole valley was blanketed in dust and almost nothing could be seen.

The power of Shen Lang's explosives is astonishing, but there is no smoke, and there is not much flame. It just blows up countless dust.

It seemed like it was raining.

Countless rubble, countless blood, and countless broken limbs and stumps fell one after another.

Exactly a few minutes later!

All dust settled.

The Earl of Austin finally saw clearly, and then he really saw hell.

The entire army was destroyed, and all his 10,000 siege army died, perhaps not even a single survivor.

Is there still such a battle in this world?

At this moment, all ten thousand people died, and their bodies were shattered to pieces.

Dead indeed!

The most poisonous woman's heart, Zhang Chunhua buried a lot of explosives in the underground of this valley, and there was not a single dead end.

Crowded in this area, let alone 10,000 people, even 20,000 people were all killed.

In the narrow valley, the crowded crowd is simply an excellent specimen of explosion.

Even because there were too many explosives buried, the explosion was too powerful. When attacked by the Vulcan Sect catapult just now, the 3,000-meter city wall was safe and sound.

And now the city wall has been damaged.

The explosion was still a bit far from the city wall, so the shock wave couldn't damage the solid city wall. But the explosion directly blew the 100-pound boulder and smashed it hard on the city wall, creating big pits.

Zhang Chunhua, this dead woman, was afraid that she would not be powerful enough to blow up the enemy, and she added two more weights.

As a result, he almost smashed through his own city wall.

Count Austin looked at the Vulcan priest, the young woman got up from the ground, her face full of despair, and she even doubted her life.

The Wrath of Vulcan is obviously the secret weapon of Vulcanism.

Why does this group of oriental people also have it, and it is even more powerful, even more than ten times stronger.

This weapon in Shen Lang's hand is the real wrath of the gods.

Why is this so?

Earl Austin couldn't help but think of a sentence from the East, which was hurtful.

East to East, West to West.

Your Excellency Shen Lang, why did you come to the East, why did you come to my family's land, and yet slaughter my soldiers like this?

My brave soldier can die on the battlefield, can die by the enemy's knife, but why die by this mysterious power.

Hell, this is hell.

War has changed!

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Earl Austin let out a roar like a wild beast.
