    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    The rebels' trebuchets finally fired again. I don't know if they were lucky or if the Han army was really unlucky.

    This time, less than half of the nearly one hundred huge stones hit the city wall directly. The soldiers and civilians on the entire city wall suffered heavy casualties immediately.

    ¡°One of the bullets actually almost hit the tower. Although it did not directly collapse the tower, it still broke a load-bearing pillar.

    What¡¯s even more frightening is that several city bricks have been smashed in the middle of the city wall. If they are hit again, there may be a danger of collapse!

    "Start adjusting!"

    "Reload! Target, due east, a boulder three hundred steps away!"

    Luo Beichuan took a deep breath, and then began to direct his soldiers to aim at his well-prepared reference objects.

    This stone is a reference object that they have measured a long time ago. Although it does not look very big on the ground, about the size of a carriage, this is just the tip of the iceberg exposed.

    They had tried dozens of people before, but they couldn't move it at all.

    ¡° Moreover, it is exactly three hundred steps away from the city. It is the best thing to use as a reference!

    "No!"

    Every three craftsmen led two soldiers to operate a trebuchet, and everyone was busy working nervously.

    "put!"

    Luo Beichuan gave an order, and ten dark warheads headed towards the boulder.

    This was the first time gunpowder bombs were used against the rebels. Seeing that trebuchets began to appear on the top of the city, Liu Xun couldn't help but stand up and look over from a distance from the stands.  .

    After all, if a trebuchet is set up on the city wall, the range is much farther than if they are under the city.

    Although the number of defenders on the city is small, and the number of trebuchets is far less than them, the problem is that they have the advantage of geographical location. If they are really condescending, they really have to be careful, as their own trebuchets will not  Destroyed!

    These trebuchets are not easy to make. They originally planned to leave this as a gift to Jinyang, but they did not expect that Luo Chenglong's tenacity far exceeded their imagination.

    As a last resort, these trebuchets were thrown into the battlefield.

    Today is the first time to use it. If someone accidentally destroys it, the blow to morale will be really big.

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    With a series of sounds, the entire battlefield seemed to become quiet all of a sudden.

    Even the rebels under the city who were preparing to attack were stunned for a moment. Everyone looked at the sky involuntarily. No, it was a sunny day. Where did the thunder come from?

    "What's going on? Where did the thunder come from?"

    The four princes and kings above the stands involuntarily raised their heads and looked around, but still found nothing.

    A breeze blew, and the strong smell of sulfur immediately made Liu Xuan frown.

    ¡° Among the princes and kings, who is most familiar with this thing, it should be him without a doubt.

    ¡°After all, Jiaoxi is rich in sulfur, which is also one of his main sources of wealth.

    "Where does the smell of sulfur come from? Didn't you notice it?"

    The other three princes and kings looked around with some confusion, feeling even more confused.

    "Start calibration now! After ten breaths, launch for the second time!"

    Luo Beichuan took a deep breath. Sure enough, if this thing was placed on the top of the city, the range would suddenly be much farther.

    Originally they thought the distance was three hundred steps, but now they actually shot more than five hundred steps directly. After adjusting the distance of the limit rod, they were ready to launch the second time.

    "Launch!"

    With another command from Luo Beichuan, the black gunpowder bullet flew into the air again, followed by a graceful arc, and hit the boulder three hundred steps away.

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    Waves of thunder rang out again, and all the rebel soldiers were stunned on the spot.

    This was the first time gunpowder was used on these rebels. Although it did not cause too many casualties, it dealt a fatal blow to the morale of these rebels.

    Liu XunyeAfter finally reacting, it seemed that the problem lay with the Han army's trebuchets on the top of the city.

    ¡°Damn, something¡¯s not right with the situation? The things thrown by those trebuchets seem to explode!¡±

    "I heard that Liu Deng once conquered a real Taoist. Do you think it is the evil Taoist who is playing some tricks here?"

    Liu Biguang swallowed hard, and then said tentatively.

    "What nonsense are you talking about here?"

    Liu Xun's face immediately turned cold. The soldiers were already extremely frightened. This guy is still talking nonsense here. Doesn't he think there are not enough problems?

    "I¡­¡­"

    Jinan King Liu Biguang suddenly felt embarrassed, but he immediately realized that he had indeed said the wrong thing. Can these words be said at this time?

    "Send the order and ask those trebuchets to aim at the Han army's trebuchets and smash them!"

    Liu Yan immediately found the problem. It seemed that the problem was with the trebuchets. If that was the case, just kill them first.

    It¡¯s just that although their large trebuchets are far away, it is really difficult to hit a certain place accurately.

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    After adjusting its direction five hundred steps away, the trebuchet began to show its power again!

    However, this time they did not seem to be so lucky. Only a dozen of nearly a hundred stones hit the city wall.

    There are only two or three pieces flying up to the top of the city. Maybe this is God¡¯s will!

    Even the two or three stones flying on the city wall did not cause too many casualties to the Han army, but only killed some civilians.

    But even so, the morale of the defenders on the city wall was still low.

    After all, this feeling is too uncomfortable. The trebuchet is still five hundred steps away. They can only be beaten and have no way to fight back

    "Adjust the limit lever to three, and the lead length is six inches and two minutes! Freely aim at the enemy trebuchet!"

    The adjustment is finally completed. These damn guys have been arrogant for so long, and now it¡¯s time to let them have a taste of their power.

    Luo Beichuan sneered, and then began to issue orders.

    "Adjustment completed!"

    "Adjustment completed!"

    "Adjustment completed!"

    ¡­¡­

    "Light the fire!"

    "Launch!"

    Luo Beichuan took a deep breath and waved the small red flag in his hand heavily. Then, ten black gunpowder bombs flew into the air, carrying the will of the city defenders straight towards the rebel trebuchet!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
