The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

After a few days of probing, the two armies have not made any fuss today, and the battle is imminent.

Facing Ma Chao's dark crowd, Cao Ren was not nervous.

He was already good at defending the city. In the past few days, the city has rolling stones and wood, spiked knives and carts, bows and arrows, hot oil, and all kinds of defense supplies.

Therefore, Cao Ren couldn't help but sneer when he looked at the majestic Ma Chao.

Just wait for the other party to come and give him an unforgettable lesson.

Ma Chao saw that Cao's army at the head of the city was well equipped and their morale was high, but he didn't panic at all.

Instead, he beckoned directly and ordered someone to push up his specially built secret weapon: the Boulder Return Cannon, and stopped in front of him.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although there are four wooden wheels under the boulder return gun, it is extremely heavy due to its own weight.

It also took more than [-] people to push together before finally moving forward slowly.

Finally, when the boulder return gun stopped beside Ma Chao, it stopped under his command.

Both the generals beside him and Cao Ren at the head of the city were very puzzled by this.

At first, he was a little worried when he saw such a huge monster being pushed out from the sergeant.

Unexpectedly, this thing stopped so far away from the city.

The distance was more than [-] meters. In Cao Ren's years of experience in the army, there was absolutely nothing that could pose a threat to him.

Although he had already heard from Han Hao before, Zhang Xi of Wuzhi City had a god arm crossbow with a range of several hundred meters in his hand.

But that kind of crossbow can only attack people, but it is impossible to damage the solid city wall.

So Cao Ren didn't care at all, and was very confident in himself.

Ma Chao didn't pay attention to other people's doubts, but went directly to the field to direct the gunner to load.

The biggest difference between the boulder return gun and the general catapult is that it is not fired by manpower.

Instead, it is launched by the force released by the counterweight under the short rod by means of the principle of leverage.

At the end of the short pole, a wooden box was hung, and the sergeants were quickly filling stones into it at this moment.

The more counterweights in the wooden box, the greater the power it releases, and the greater the range.

At this moment, the distance between the two armies is more than [-] meters, so it is natural to fill it all up in order to exert its greatest power.

After the counterweight box was filled, seven or eight gunners began to turn the winch and pull up one end of the counterweight box.

At the same time, the end of the long pole slowly descended, and finally reached the predetermined distance.

Immediately, several people lifted a stone weighing two hundred kilograms and put it into the bullet bag at the end of the long arm.

All loading work is finally completed.

Ma Chao looked at it expectantly, then suppressed the excitement in his heart, and shouted: "Fire!"

The gunners received the order, and one of them immediately struck the firing mechanism of the boulder return gun with a mallet.

There was a crisp sound, and the rope pulling the lever was instantly detached from the base.

Under the action of gravity, the counterweight box quickly fell down, driving the long arm at the other end to rise rapidly.

When the counterweight box reaches the bottom, the long arm has also been raised to the highest point.

The bomb bag on it opened just at this time, and the boulder inside was thrown out violently.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the boulder.

Its speed was so fast that it rushed towards the city wall with the sound of howling wind.

Originally, Cao Ren did not believe that such a long distance could hit the city wall.

But when the roaring boulder flew closer and closer, his mind finally changed.

Moreover, the boulder seemed to be flying towards him, and Cao Ren's head was already covered by the shadow of the boulder.

Seeing this, the guards next to him flew forward and pushed Cao Ren aside.

With great strength, Cao Ren, who was caught off guard, was directly pushed to the ground.

When Cao Ren came to his senses and looked back, the boulder finally fell down.

"Boom!" With an earth-shattering sound, the Qiaolou directly behind Cao Ren was directly destroyed by a huge stone.

After destroying Qiaolou, the boulder still went straight to the city with unabated momentum.

After destroying several houses one after another, it finally stopped slowly.

This blow was like a god coming down to earth, and the huge destructive power instantly stunned all Cao Jun.

The soldiers on Ma Chao's side burst into cheers instantly after seeing such a huge power of the trebuchet, and their morale ebbed and flowed.

Cao Ren had already got up, but the shock in his heart was still undeniable.

Although the Qiao Tower was not as strong as the city wall, the scene of collapsing at the touch of a touch made him truly feel the power of the strange catapult on the other side.

This also made Cao Ren feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he escaped in time just now, otherwise he would have died together with Qiaolou.
