Chapter 41 Siege Artillery
The vast alliance army set up an array outside the city, but this time, it did not launch a siege battle directly like before.
Standing on the top of the city and looking at the giant creature slowly coming towards the city under the guidance of a group of coalition forces in the distance, neither Zhao Zihao nor Jiang Cheng looked very beautiful.
"What is that?" Bai Zhirou stood beside Jiang Cheng, frowned and looked at the mechanism that was two feet taller than the city wall and was formed of a giant tree that was thicker than the two of them hugged each other. She asked with a frown.
"Siege Cannon!" Zhao Zihao took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Cheng and said with a wry smile: "This time, it may be a bit troublesome. The siege cannon is a powerful weapon for siege. It can project huge rocks to attack the city wall from five hundred steps. The Zhaowu City wall is not solid, so it may be difficult to hold on for too long."
"It's just one, is it so powerful?" Howard on the side frowned.
"I have seen this siege cannon in the Mo Palace. It was designed and built by Tianyuan Sect for the Great Kun Kingdom eighty years ago. It is extremely powerful and can easily collapse ordinary city walls." Jiang Cheng frowned and looked at Zhao Zihao and said, "It seems to be stupid, but the core design is quite exquisite. If it weren't for mastering the numerology of the mechanism, it would be difficult to imitate, and the materials were not easy to find. Can such a powerful weapon be made in this small country of Xichui?"
In addition to being exaggerated, the appearance of the siege cannon is similar to the ancient catapult cart, but its performance is much more terrifying than the catapult cart. According to Jiang Cheng's Tiangong Record in Mo Palace, the siege cannon can project 10,000 kilograms of huge rocks, with a maximum range of 800 steps. Although there is no formation or rune assistance, it only relies on the power of the mechanical force and the power of the mechanism hub to accumulate power. Not to mention these disciples of Qi Condensation Realm, even monks at the peak of Qi Training Realm like Zhao Zihao dare not take it. The power of the 10,000 kilograms of huge rocks is not as simple as ten thousand kilograms. A city wall like Zhaowu City can collapse a section of the city wall in just a few cannons.
If there is a gap in the city wall, the alliance army can directly enter the gap. The city defense mechanism that Jiang Cheng drove overnight was invalid.
Zhao Zihao said hatefully: "When Xichui countries depended on our Dakun Dynasty and presented treasures from the various countries and hundreds of beauties. The emperor was very happy at that time, so he rewarded this goods with crosses to Xichui countries. The original intention was to let them use this to invade other countries in the region, but they did not want to get it here now to deal with our Dakun soldiers!"
Is this lord broken?
Jiang Cheng was puzzled. Even if he was happy, he would give some other things. If he didn't, he would be better than giving this piece of magic weapon. Although the magic weapon is not small, it is usually aimed at individuals. The disciples of the Tianyuan Sect's divine workshop have refined many strange magic weapons every year. Although most of them are useless, choosing a few good ones to send them over is much better than this kind of thing in terms of value.
Of course, this is just Jiang Cheng's idea. No matter how powerful the siege cannon is, it is just made by mechanical techniques. Ordinary people can still make it as long as they master the methods. Just as Jiang Cheng thought, it is far less valuable than magic weapons. The great Kun Kingdom Lord probably thinks this thing is useless. He looks so grand that he will give away the cross.
While speaking, the huge siege cannon had already been lifted by dozens of warriors at the peak of body tempering, covering the walls of Zhaowu City within range.
Someone has already started to adjust and calibrate. With a distance of five hundred steps, the ordinary soldiers' arrow clusters cannot shoot that far, and everyone on the city wall can only watch.
During the depressing waiting, the first stone bullet was finally filled.
Crunch ~
Boom ~
As the harsh wood rubbed, a huge stone bounced out of the air, rolling up a wave of strange roars and falling from the sky, smashing down hard towards the head of Zhaowu City.
It was still in the air, and the people standing on the top of the city felt a sense of aura coming towards them and scattered in all directions.
"Boom~"
The huge rock hit the city wall hard and did not fall on the top of the city. On the originally flat wall, cracked traces appeared around the place where the huge rock hit. The entire city wall shook violently at that moment, as if it was an earthquake. Many mechanisms that were established last night were directly shocked.
This is just a test shot, and the next one is probably going to fall on the city.
However, the siege cannon was extremely difficult to load. It took half an hour to get it. But with the power of the siege run, if it was shot on the same section of the city wall, it would probably collapse without a few cannons.
When Jiang Cheng looked at the siege cannon, he thought about countermeasures in his mind, the second stone bullet had already begun to fill. Zhao Zihao turned around expressionlessly and walked under the city wall.
"Where will the general go?" Jiang Cheng grabbed Zhao Zihao.
"If you destroy that thing, otherwise, the city will probably be destroyed today!" Zhao Zihao said with a solemn expression.
"The other party is probably just to force the general out of the city." Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "If the general out of the city at this moment, there will definitely be a large number of ambushers around the siege cannon!"
Zhao Zihao was silent, he didn't know that, and finally shook his head and said, "But if you don't take any action, Zhaowu City will be destroyed!"
Destroying the siege cannon is the only way Zhao Zihao can think of at present. In fact, this is also the only way at present.
"Don't worry!" Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "It may not be that there will be a turnaround. I may be able to give it a try."
"Brother Jiang is thinking about his good intentions, but now that is the case, what else can I imagine?" Zhao Zihao said with a wry smile.
"The core hub of the siege cannon was not blocked. If the arrow cluster could be shot there..." Jiang Cheng had a vague idea in his mind.
"I have used the siege cannon five hundred steps away. Even if it can be shot, I have used it. Even the core hub part is caused by solid wood. So far, even if the arrow cluster can be shot, it cannot be destroyed." Zhao Zihao said with a wry smile.
Jiang Cheng knew the mechanism of the siege cannon. If he was asked to shoot, he could shoot the arrow clusters to the key points and make the gears of the siege collapse on their own. However, ordinary people don’t know the key points. Even if there is the shooting technique, they don’t know where to shoot. Jiang Cheng, he doesn’t know how to shoot.
"Not necessarily." Jiang Cheng shook his head: "If you can supplement the arrow cluster with a burst formation, you can destroy it!"
Jiang Cheng has always had this idea when the formation and mechanism technique is fusion, but he has always used human body mathematics as the main research direction and has not been able to put this idea into practice. Now... he can only give it a try.
"If there is such an arrow, Zhao is willing to try it." Zhao Zihao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"It takes time!" Jiang Cheng was not sure if he could actually do it, but now he didn't care about these things. It was better than Zhao Zihao who brought people up to work hard. He was the leader of the three armies. Once he died, it would only be a matter of time before Zhaowu City was destroyed.
"I'll stop!" Zhao Zihao said in a hurry with a flash of shock in his eyes.
