Chapter 431
431 Mountain-shattering: earth-shattering, hell-level massacre!
Duke Austin’s Army began to prepare.
Four or five people operated the medium-sized trebuchets and used all their strength to open the throwing discs, then placed gunpowder packages on them.
Zhang Chunhua was watching all of this from the top of the city wall. She even had a pair of crude binoculars.
It was not strange to see a trebuchet, but the things inside the trebuchets were too strange.
Zhang Chunhua suddenly remembered that Shen lang said that the church of the god of fire already had gunpowder. They even set off fireworks before, so they had to be careful.
So the enemy’s trebuchets were not aiming for rocks, but gunpowder?
However, Zhang Chunhua was now very familiar with gunpowder. Black powder would not be able to do much damage to the city walls. It could only be used in an enclosed space.
“Everyone, get down!”
Zhang Chunhua gave the order, followed by the other two officers.
Immediately, all 500 people on the 3000-meter wall were on the ground.
“Don’t let your heart touch the ground.” Zhang Chunhua gave another order.
These orders were already very professional. In fact, she did not need to give any orders. The Warriors of the eastern Knights and the Roland Knights present were already very experienced.
“Fire!”
“Fire!”
The fire god priest gave the order.
whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Whoosh! thirty catapults and thirty prototype gunpowder packages were thrown over.
Although it was a medium-sized trebuchet, each gunpowder package was not heavy, so it was directly thrown 300 meters away.
A few priests of the fire god looked at this scene with dazed eyes.
The fire God’s fury was about to descend upon the world, and what followed was an earth-shattering explosion.
The Easterners would be scared out of their wits and collapse.
The fire God’s fury was enough to completely tear apart the three-thousand-meter wall in front of them.
The fire god priest looked at Duke Austin, his meaning clear.
Just wait for a miracle, count Austin.
The distance of three hundred meters was covered in an instant.
Soon, the thirty gunpowder packages were smashed down.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
It was indeed an extremely shocking explosion, a series of explosions.
The explosion of a single gunpowder packet wasn’t shocking enough, but when thirty of them exploded together, the momentum was indeed shocking enough.
The entire ground was shaking.
In an instant, the six-mile city wall was completely shrouded in thick black smoke, as if it had completely disappeared.
Count Austin’s warhorses and cavalrymen were also startled and jumped up and down.
The fire god priest said,”Earl, do you see that?” This is the power of the fire God’s wrath. I think there should be no living enemies left, so let them repent in hell. And this ugly city wall should have been shattered by now.”
Count Austin frowned. The explosion was indeed shocking, but in his opinion, leading the Knights to charge and kill was the real romance. If the future war only needed such long-distance explosions, what was the point?
Your Excellency, when the smoke disperses, you will be able to see what true hell is.
this group of Easterners must have never seen such a divine weapon before. They will definitely be crushed to pieces and their souls will scatter.
“From today onwards, this fear will be engraved in the depths of their souls, causing them to never dare to step into the Western world again.”
............
The smoke from the black gunpowder was too thick, and they were in a Valley. It took a long time for the smoke to dissipate.
And then,
The situation was a little awkward. The six-mile city wall was still there, and it was even intact.
Count Austin could not help but look at the priest of the fire god. What was going on?
Didn’t you show me how powerful it was? The entire house was shattered into pieces in an instant. It was just an explosion.
Now, 30 fire God’s fury weapons had exploded, but the enemy’s 3000-meter wall was not even damaged.
my Lord, ” the fire god priest said, ” the people on the wall must have been killed by the explosion. Some of the fire God’s fury is used to kill enemies, while others are used to destroy houses.
However, a moment later, they were slapped in the face. Shen Lang’s 500 soldiers got up from the ground, and there were very few casualties.
Count Austin was shocked. Such a shocking explosion just now did not kill the enemy?
Why is this so?
That’s right, the explosion of the enemy’s gunpowder bag just now was quite shocking, but why was the result so small?
There were a few reasons.
First, the accuracy of the trebuchets was too poor. Most of the gunpowder packages hit the city wall and rolled to the ground. 80 to 90% of the gunpowder packages exploded on the ground.
The city wall was not extremely strong, but it was made of cement and bricks and was more than a meter thick. This gunpowder bag was heavy. At most, it was only about 20 Jin of black gunpowder. Moreover, they were not in a closed environment, so all the explosive energy had dissipated into the air. What kind of Bullsh * t power would it have against the city wall that was more than a meter thick?
Don’t forget that when Jin Mulan attacked Zhenxi city back then, she used more than 3000 pounds of black gunpowder in the sealed city gate before she could barely blow up half of the city gate.
Second, even if four of the gunpowder packages hit the city wall, they didn’t explode immediately. Three of them were thrown off the city wall, so there was only one explosion on the city wall.
This gunpowder bag weighed more than 20 Jin. If it exploded on the ground and everyone was lying on the ground, how lethal would it be?
More than a dozen people were injured, but not a single one was killed.
..................
Seeing this, Duke Austin said coldly, ” “Your Excellency, is this the fire God’s fury that you were talking about?”
Priest fire god was also shocked and confused, but he couldn’t blame them. Alchemists were in charge of manufacturing in the sect of the fire god, while priests were in charge of promoting it.
It was the first time for the fire god sect to use this gunpowder in actual combat.
Why did this happen? When he was doing the experiment earlier, it was clearly very powerful. Why did it become so clumsy now?
Your Excellency, please be patient. We still have other powerful weapons. Fire god priest said.
I really don’t understand why she would trust you and put you in such an important position, ” said count Austin. but I’m willing to give you another chance. If it doesn’t work this time, you can leave everything to us.
“Your grace, please wait and see,” the fire god priest said.
Then, the fire priest waved his hand, and hundreds of fire god Warriors pushed out hundreds of carts.
If Shen lang saw this, he would definitely be shocked.
Shenji arrow?
The church of the fire god was so awesome that they had already created the rocket artillery vehicle so early?
This was because each cart had nine tubes, and each tube contained a rocket.
It wasn’t a modern rocket, but an Ancient One. It was a two-meter long giant arrow with a big firecracker-like thing tied to the shaft.
Seeing this, Zhang Chunhua couldn’t help but be shocked. The weapon of the fire god sect looked very high-end.
Although he did not know what it was, it looked very powerful. If Shen lang were to describe it, it really felt like an ancient Katyusha rocket cannon.
“Light the fire!”
The priest of the fire god sect ordered.
Then, a truly stunning scene happened.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
It really did look like a Katyusha rocket cannon firing.
One after another, the fire arrows left long trails of flames behind them as they shot towards the city wall a few hundred meters away.
There were nine rockets on each cart, and there were a few hundred small carts in total. At once, thousands of rockets were shot out.
In that instant.
It was as if thousands of meteors were raining down.
This visual effect made people feel like peeing. It wasn’t that he was scared, but that he was stunned.
In the modern world, only a hundred rocket cannons could be fired at a time. It was simply too beautiful to see thousands of fire arrows whizzing out at once.
Count Austin was dumbfounded.’Has the war become like this?’
This was another kind of romance.
Zhang Chunhua looked at the scene in a daze. She only had one thought in her mind.
This priest of the fire god was as boastful as Shen lang.
“Squat down a little!” Zhang Chunhua ordered.
Shen lang had already tested a weapon like a rocket before, but he gave up on it.
It was too good-looking, but combat power? It was not bad to use it to attack a dense enemy formation, but to use it to attack a city wall?
Which genius thought of this idea?
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
These thousands of rockets were awesome, and they could fly as far as they wanted.
He flew over a thousand meters, directly over the top of the city wall.
Zhang Chunhua and the Warriors on the city wall watched as the fire arrows flew over their heads and landed a few hundred meters behind the city Pass.
Who were they going to beat up? Where were they going to hit?
The second wave of fire arrows from the church of the fire god was even more stunning.
However, the battle results were zero. The angles were adjusted too high, and all of them flew over the city wall.
The two sides looked at each other.
Count Austin stopped talking and turned to look at the fire god priest.
Zhang Chunhua’s beautiful eyes turned to look at fire god priest. your attack just now was amazing. Do you have more? ”
The fire god priest said in a hoarse voice, ” count Austin, there’s actually no problem with our weapons. It’s just that they’re not accurate enough. We need to adjust them. Please help us.
Before she could finish, count Austin raised his hand to stop her.
Your Excellency, I can see that your fire God’s fury weapon is indeed powerful and can change the entire war, but that’s in the future, not now. So leave the next war to us.
Fire god priest was very bitter and said loudly, ” “Your Excellency the Earl, please give us another chance.”
Count Austin said, ” Sir high priest, I know that you want to perform. You need to give the high priest and dybosa an explanation. You can not betray her trust. But please believe me, I may appear very arrogant, but I don’t have much prejudice. I’ve seen the power of your weapons. The church of the fire is indeed powerful and awe-inspiring. But at least the weapon in your hand is not mature enough. This is only a small battle, so can you leave it to me?”
“In addition, my respect for the fire god sect hasn’t changed. You’re only a mid-level priest. Your fire god sect should have stronger weapons. Are you satisfied with what I’m saying?”
“Your Excellency, can I lead my Army to attack the enemy’s city wall now?”
The young priest of the fire god retreated and said, ” “Your will.”
..................
Count Austin did not lie. He had been traveling the world for more than a decade and had seen a lot.
Although the results of the two rounds of gunpowder attacks from the church of the fire god were very ugly, he could still see that the potential of this weapon was indeed amazing. Once it matured, it would directly overturn the entire war.
I, Austin, am not an ignorant person, but at the very least, the war is still in the hands of warriors like us.
The tall Duke Austin looked at the three-thousand-meter wall. It was covered in thick smoke and black marks, but it was stronger than he had imagined.
However, no matter how strong it was, it was still small and only had 500 guards.
get into formation! Duke Austin roared. Army, get into formation!
Immediately, 10,000 soldiers gathered in formation and were fully armed.
Duke dybosse was incomparably wealthy, so every soldier was equipped with iron armor, armed to the teeth.
These 10,000 attacking soldiers were all tall and strong men, carrying siege ladders that were more than six meters long.
Duke Austin climbed up a Hill and commanded the battle from above.
He was very arrogant, but when the battle really came, he was an absolutely calm general. Even if he was facing a weak enemy, he would be absolutely meticulous.
He was at a higher position than Zhang Chunhua’s wall, so he could clearly see the defense on the wall.
He knew that the Easterners would prepare a large number of bows, arrows, rolling wood, boulders, oil, and so on in the city defense Battle.
But there were no Easterners here. They lacked resources and had prepared too hastily. Even this wall had just been built not long ago.
There were only 500 people on the 3000-meter city wall. On average, one person had to defend six meters. How was that possible?
With 10,000 players charging at the city, it would only take half an hour at most to take it down.
The formation was complete!
Count Austin pulled out his huge sword and shouted, ” “The Army is attacking the city!”
“Wuwuwuwu”
The long horn sounded.
Immediately, Austin’s 10000-strong Army began to charge.
This was a very professional army. Even when they were charging, they were not scattered at all and were full of a special rhythm.
He didn’t run like crazy from the start, but gradually accelerated, faster and faster, faster and faster.
The tens of thousands of soldiers still charged in an orderly fashion, and it was truly a visual enjoyment, like a flood of steel.
“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”
As the Army charged, the entire ground began to shake.
Count Austin’s estimation was right. The 10000-strong Army would take down Zhang Chunhua’s city wall in half an hour at most. Shen Lang’s guards were very powerful, but they were few in number. One person would definitely not be able to defend the six-meter wall.
In less than half an hour, Austin’s 10000-man army would be able to take down this six-mile city Pass in 15 minutes at most.
The Army charged faster and faster, and their shouts became more and more impassioned.
“Advance, advance, advance.”
“Charge! Charge!”
for the Empire, for Duke dybosse, exterminate these Easterners, exterminate them all.
The 10,000-strong Army was getting closer and closer to the city wall!
Zhang Chunhua squinted her eyes and looked down at the 10000 enemy soldiers from the city wall.
Almost there, almost all of them had entered the range.
His heart really ached. He had spent more than a month to create so many explosives, but he had to use so much of them all at once.
Zhang Chunhua waved her hand.
The two officers behind him waved their flags.
All of a sudden, the guards on the left and right of the city wall knelt down and hid behind the battlements, keeping their hearts away from the ground.
They looked like a group of small beasts trying to avoid an earthquake.
Duke Austin’s expression changed drastically when he saw this.
It’s too abnormal. My Army is about to reach the city wall, but why are the eastern guards on the wall lying down?
In the past ten years, he had been adventuring everywhere and had developed a beast-like intuition.
At this moment, he felt a fatal danger, and all the hair on his body stood up.
“Stop the Army, stop!”
Duke Austin roared. The messenger on the mountain was stunned for a moment before he waved the flag.
The 10,000-strong attacking Army was shocked, but they still obeyed the order and stopped.
Count Austin’s scalp went numb. After a few seconds of silence, he gave another order, ” “Spread out the Army, retreat, retreat!”
This was a very outstanding general. He was so decisive.
Even though they didn’t understand, the 10000 soldiers under him still turned around and prepared to retreat.
They couldn’t spread out here because the valley was too narrow.
However,
It was already too late.
The entire world fell into a strange silence.
At this time, a shocking amount of explosives had been buried under the feet of the 10000-strong Army.
This was not gunpowder, but a powerful explosive.
At this time, the long fuse under the ground was burning, and the sparks were swimming towards the large amount of explosives.
In order to ensure the detonation, there were dozens of lead wires and dozens of Mercury explosives.
Count Austin looked at the guards on the city wall again and found that they were still lying on the ground with their hands tightly covering their ears.
He knew that it was too late!
Then, he quickly covered his ears.
Drip Drop, Drip Drop, Drip Drop.
The 10,000 strong attacking Army had just turned around and was about to retreat.
The tens of thousands of soldiers behind him looked on in silence.
Di da!
It was time!
The fuse burned and detonated the mercury acid.
The mercury acid detonated a powerful explosive.
In an instant!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
This Kasaya
It was a truly earth-shattering explosion.
The loud noise was like thunder, deafening everyone.
This was the power that was closest to the might of heaven and earth.
It was more than ten times more shocking than the explosion of the gunpowder package of the fire god sect.
In an instant!
It was as if an Earth Dragon had flipped over.
The entire ground was lifted and torn apart!
And on this piece of land, there were 10000 attacking troops standing closely.
They were fully armed. Not only were they equipped with armor, but they also had shields.
But it was all in vain.
In the face of such an astonishing amount of explosives, their bodies seemed so fragile.
He was directly smashed into pieces.
Countless bodies and broken limbs flew into the sky.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
A series of explosions continued.
The entire ground and the entire six-mile city wall were trembling.
The powerful shock wave swept across the two sides of the valley.
Like a wave of wheat being blown by the wind, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Austin Army fell to the ground one after another, as if they were swept by a hurricane, even though they were hundreds of meters away.
The soldiers closest to him were even sent flying.
Then, the entire world seemed to have lost its sound.
Everyone’s ears were ringing, and their brains felt like they were going to explode.
Count Austin was not far from the explosion. When the explosion occurred, he felt his body being blown away.
“Bang!”
His muscular body crashed onto the cliff before rolling down.
However, he was too powerful. He suddenly jumped up and stood up straight again.
“Pfft, pfft, pfft.” He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Then, he shook his head with all his might, trying to make himself see and hear clearly.
The shock wave of the explosion was so strong that anyone else would have died. However, count Austin only had a slight concussion.
Fortunately, he had covered his ears in time. Otherwise, his eardrums would have been shattered.
He hit his head hard, trying to wake himself up immediately.
“Messenger, Messenger hehe!”
“Attendant, attendant bi an”
Earl Austin shouted, but the world seemed to be silent. He could not even hear his own voice for the time being.
After recovering his vision slightly, he found that there were no messengers or attendants. The dozens of Warriors beside him were all dead, bleeding from all seven holes and broken ribs. They had died a terrible death.
Not everyone was as strong as him and could survive the explosion so close to him.
The entire Valley was covered in dust, and almost nothing could be seen.
Shen Lang’s explosive was extremely powerful, but there was no smoke or flame. It only caused a lot of dust to fly up.
It seemed to be raining.
Countless pieces of rock, blood, and broken limbs fell to the ground.
After a few minutes!
All the dust settled.
Count Austin finally saw it clearly. He saw hell for real.
His 10,000 strong Army had been completely annihilated, and there might not even be a single survivor.
Was there such a battle in this world?
In an instant, 10000 people were all dead, and their bodies were crushed.
They were indeed all dead!
A woman’s heart was the most vicious. Zhang Chunhua had buried a lot of explosives underground in the valley, and there was no blind spot.
In this area, even 20000 people would have been killed, let alone 10000.
In the narrow valley, the crowd was simply the perfect specimen for an explosion.
In fact, because there were too many explosives buried and the power of the explosion was too great, the three-thousand-meter city wall was unscathed when it was attacked by the catapults of the fire god sect.
And now, this city wall was actually damaged.
The explosion was still a little far away from the city wall, so the shock wave could not damage the solid city wall. However, the explosion sent the hundred-pound Boulder flying and smashing into the city wall, creating a huge pit.
Zhang Chunhua, that damned woman, was afraid that the explosion was not powerful enough to kill the enemy, so she added two more portions.
In the end, it almost smashed through his own city wall.
Count Austin looked at the priest of the fire god sect. The young woman got up from the ground with a face full of despair. She even doubted her life.
The fire God’s fury sword was the secret weapon of the fire god sect.
Why did this group of Easterners also have it, and why were they even more powerful, perhaps more than ten times stronger?
The weapon in Shen Lang’s hand was the real wrath of God.
Why was it like this?
Earl Austin could not help but think of a saying from the East, ”
East to East, West to West.
Mr. Shen lang, why did you come to the West? why did you come to my family’s land and even kill my soldiers?
my brave soldiers can die on the battlefield, can die under the enemy’s knife, but why did they die under this mysterious power?
Hell, this was hell.
The war had changed!
“Ah!!!!!!!!”
Count Austin let out a series of beast-like roars.
