Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

Therefore, both of them are relatively restrained outside, trying to maintain the relationship between "supervisor" and "subordinate".

Shia suddenly said: "When the battle is over, shall we go horseback riding on the outskirts of Wild Wolf City?"

Leoric stopped and looked at her, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Riding a horse? What kind of horse?"

"Ah? Just riding a horse..." Shia was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, and she said, "I mean riding an ordinary horse!"

Leoric spread his hands innocently, "I didn't mean to ride other horses."

"Bad stuff," she muttered under her breath.

Leoric smiled, then looked towards the city wall to the west, thinking: Riding a horse in the suburbs is actually similar to traveling by car.Oh, I can take Shia to Murtridy's horse farm for an outing. It's a good place, with mountains and rivers, and the lake has big fish with more spines.When the time comes, Shia and I will ride a horse, hitch a cart, and go camping.There are all kinds of field supplies in the barracks, and the tools for camping are all ready-made.

A dog can be a hunting dog, and a succubus seems to be able to fly. At that time, I will lead the yellow on the left and Qingcang on the right, and take my wife on an outing. I will eat when I am hungry, sleep when I am tired, and continue to sleep when I wake up. Wonderful?

The more Leoric thought about it, the happier he became, and he wished he could fly out of the city wall immediately and take his wife to wander outside.

Suddenly, the sound of bugles came from the city wall.

The two immediately pricked up their ears, and Shia said, "It's the assembly call, the barbarians are attacking the city again!"

"go!"

The two quickly went to the stable in the backyard of the lord's mansion. At this time, Shia's personal soldiers had already prepared armor for the two of them and were standing by the stable.The two put on their armor quickly, and then went straight to the city wall.

Leoric rode directly up the stairs on Mortread, with Shia following him.On the west wall, the general was standing in front of the telescope with a serious expression, observing the situation outside.

Shia stepped forward and asked, "General, how is the situation?"

General Akkad said only one word.

"Strange."

"Strange?"

"The barbarian formation is very strange."

The old man pointed to the west, and Leoric and Shia looked there, but did not see the imagined "army pressing down on the land".I just vaguely saw some troops gathering, and they seemed to have no intention of coming.

Shia wondered: "It's too far away, even the catapults can't hit it at such a long distance."

The general said: "Well, it's about [-] steps beyond the furthest range of the catapult. The formation doesn't look like it's going to attack the city, and there are no ladder vehicles. I don't understand what they are doing." The general looked through the binoculars again. He glanced at it and said: "But I found that they seem to have a new weapon, but I have never seen such a thing. Which of you is knowledgeable, come and have a look?" The general said and handed over the binoculars.

Odlo of the Warriors was the closest to him, so he took a look through the binoculars and said, "I don't know him." He handed the precious binoculars to the next person, and Blose took it over, and he looked at it too Look, and said: "I haven't seen it before, it looks like a water pipe."

Then Shia took a look through the binoculars and said in confusion, "I haven't seen that either, that, Leoric, can you take a look?"

"Yeah." Leoric took the binoculars and glanced at it, and suddenly felt a "thump" in his heart, followed by a numbness in his scalp.

Because he knows that thing.

That's a cannon!

And, it's fucking big!

Fuck, when did the world have cannons?

The development trajectory of this world is different from the world in Leoric's previous life. It may be because of magic that people here have not developed decent firearms for a long time.Leoric had never heard of cannon, muskets or anything like that.So the barbarian suddenly pulled out two cannons, which directly confused Leoric.Worst of all, this thing looks scary.

This thing is as tall as two people, and it needs four horses to move it together. The shell is a strange red color, and it seems to have some kind of magical pattern tattooed on it?Since the clarity of the telescope is not very high, Leoric cannot give an accurate judgment, but he is sure that the power of that thing will be absolutely terrifying.

Leoric also saw the Crow King himself standing next to the cannon, so he thought he attached great importance to this weapon.

Now how to do?Although the walls of Wild Wolf City can withstand repeated bombing by trebuchets, it doesn't mean they can withstand such a big killer!Fuck you, Cannon, is Coyote City going to become Stambul again?

That's when Leoric felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Leoric, do you see what's going on here?" The general looked at his face and asked, "I see that your complexion is not very good. Is that thing difficult to deal with?"

Leoric said, "General, let's get down from the wall first! That thing is powerful."

Hearing this, the group leaders who had never seen the world started to shout, and Odlo said: "How powerful can it be? Can it directly collapse the city wall?" Steer on the other side also shook his head and said: " If we all withdraw from the city wall, then the soldiers will have no courage to defend the city, no way!" Growin said: "Yes, the generals have run away, and the soldiers will definitely follow. Morale is such a thing. Ah, it is easy to destroy, but difficult to rebuild..."

"Everyone, I'm not kidding, listen to me..."

Leoric tried to persuade everyone to get off the city wall, but it was like you couldn't explain to ancient people who had never seen an airplane that people could fly over the Pacific Ocean in a mechanical bird. There is some truth to what they said. If the regiment commanders are gone without even seeing the enemy, what will the soldiers think?

Just when Leoric was trying to explain the principle of the cannon to convince everyone, there was a loud noise outside the city.

"boom!"

At that moment, Leoric roared as loudly as he could:

"Lie down!"

"boom--!"

The cannonball hit the city wall, and everyone felt the city wall shake violently under their feet. The movement seemed to be a carriage passing through a ditch and a boat passing through waves.General Akkad hurriedly told everyone to retreat, but a puff of black smoke soared into the sky, drowning everyone.When the black smoke dissipated slightly, Shi En of the Hammer Group hurriedly climbed up the battlement and looked down, then he shouted: "Seven gods, the city wall has a big hole!"

There was no sound above the city wall.

Sure enough, the truth is the best teacher, no one doubted what Leoric said this time.

Chapter 43: Drain to the last drop of blood

At this time, the Crow King was standing in front of the "Lava Cannon", looking at the black smoke rising from Wild Wolf City, with a very comfortable expression.

Damn, with such a good weapon, I won't be able to use it for a long time!Use it for me earlier, and I will have taken this city long ago.Maybe they can push back all the way back to the hometown of the plateau people, and completely wipe out this group of bastards.

The lava cannon is the trump card of the demon princess Clara. It is hidden very deep, and few people have seen it. To be precise, everyone who has seen it is dead.The shooting range of this thing is twice that of the fixed catapult, and the projectiles fired can explode and burn. The Crow King's knife is really eye-opening.

It's a pity that the demons just gave them two cannons, what a sting!

However, the barbarians do not know how to control this kind of weapon. This thing has a set of professional procedures from loading ammunition, aiming, proofreading, and igniting. It must be controlled by professionals, otherwise it will not hit the target, and it will easily explode.At this time, the snake man Helun was personally manipulating the cannon to shoot at Wild Wolf City.

However, although this thing is powerful, its reloading speed is really slow. Seeing that the gunner was rubbing and poking at the same time, making a cannon barrel, it looked like a bitch serving customers, which made the Crow King very anxious.

The Crow King picked out his ears and said, "When will the city walls be broken?"

"15 minutes."

The Crow King said: "Oh, then I will attack the city after you blast the city wall."

The snake man said: "The number of potion shells is limited, and the barrel can't help firing like this. Stop shooting after 10 minutes. Then you have to attack the city."

Oh, it turns out that he is a soft guy with an iron gun, but he looks tough but doesn't last long.Forget it, I bombarded it with a trebuchet again, and the city wall was opened anyway.

The Crow King took a sip of his pipe and said, "Can you get me some more of these cannons later?"

The snake man said: "Impossible, these two are also lent to you. I will take them back when they are used up. Humans are not worthy of using demon weapons."

Engage in arms monopoly, right?The Crow King sneered, thinking: Sooner or later I will get this thing!At that time, I will let you taste the power of your own cannon.

The Crow King suddenly said: "By the way, Snakeman, will you attack the city after the city is broken? Or watch it from the outside? Let me tell you first, I have clear rewards and punishments. Although you are not my subordinate, if you immediately I will also be rewarded if I succeed.”

"That's your business, my target is only Leoric." The snake man looked towards the direction of the city wall expressionlessly, another shell hit the city wall, the magic bullet exploded, and black smoke billowed.

The Crow King said, "Oh, Leoric, are you going to save the succubus as well?"

The Crow King deliberately poked his sore spot.The snake man's face distorted immediately, and he asked the Crow King, "What do you want?"

The Crow King laughed a few times and said, "I just wish you success soon."

"Hmph!" The snake man shook his face and continued to look in the direction of Wild Wolf City.

Priscilla, I will definitely save you from Leoric's clutches!

Be sure to wait for me, Priscilla!

Heron clenched his fists tightly.

……

Cannon fire flew across the sky, and the soldiers wailed.

The power of this shell is completely beyond the soldiers' understanding of weapons. Even the largest catapult does not have this power, this sound, and this range.On the way Leoric came, he heard some people talking, saying, "The barbarians got a dragon, and that dragon is breathing fire at the city wall in the distance", and some people said that the barbarians got the ancient magic, which can call the sky The stars fell and smashed our walls.

General Akkad asked the regiment leaders to withdraw temporarily, but he himself stayed on the city wall. The old man's straight back was like a flagpole, and he was indeed the flag of the Northern Expedition.He strode along the walls like a beast, and he yelled orders to calm the soldiers.

Because of the presence of General Akkad, the soldiers still maintained the courage in their hearts. If the old man fled in the face of the shells, they would be defeated.

Thick smoke billowed from the city walls, and there was a pungent smell of chemicals.

Leoric thought to himself at this moment: Fuck, your mother is outrageous, the barbarian's cannon is so powerful?This is powerful enough to blast the Marble King 280 light-years away.And this is not an ordinary stone-shooting cannon, and it will explode. Isn't this a cannon?

"Bang!" Another shell landed on the city wall not far away, and the whole city wall shook violently, which was ten times larger than the previous trebuchet.

General Akkad staggered and almost fell, but fortunately he held on to the battlements.

Leoric shouted: "General, it's too dangerous for you! Come to the ramparts."

General Akkad bowed his head and said to him, "I know the danger! But if I leave the wall, the other soldiers should also run away. You see, they are very scared." The general pointed to the hillside to the west and said, "Damn, The range of this cannon is too far! It is too far."

The other regiment leaders also shouted: "That's right! How can there be a general blocking the sword in front and the soldiers shrinking behind? If you don't come down, we will go up!" Many soldiers also shouted, saying: " We are not afraid! General, come down!"

"You asses! Well, I'm coming down."

The general then withdrew from above.

Everyone stood on the steps of the city wall, ready to meet the enemy at any time.At this time, another shell hit the city wall, gravel flew and flames flew everywhere, and everyone felt the stone steps under their feet vibrate.None of us had seen this battle before, so we were speechless for a while.The head of the Iron Hammer Group glanced sideways at the city wall, and said in a low voice, "This wall was just repaired a few days ago, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand such a bang."

Everyone was speechless, waiting for the general to make a decision.However, the general frowned and couldn't make up his mind.

At this time, Growin roared: "I will lead the cavalry to rush out and destroy those cannons!" His red head was flushed with excitement, and his beard was raised.

The general said: "This is death. This is not the night attack on the enemy's camp. The enemy has already prepared."

Growin said: "Then we just wait for the city wall to be blown away like this?"

The general remained silent, but Philip of the Wind Tour said optimistically: "What if the fire ceases after a while? Such a powerful cannon will definitely not be able to keep firing."

Growin said, "What if they shoot straight?"

Philip shrugged and spread his hands.

Shi En from the Iron Hammer Group stomped his feet and said, "Let's discuss it, I'm going to take people to rush to repair the city wall!" The shells fell on top of their heads, "Boom!" The falling gravel and fly ash covered Shi En's face.He wiped it with his hand, but there was still blood on it. At this time, there was a terrified cry from above the city wall.It turned out that a soldier happened to be hit by a shell and was instantly blown into pieces of meat. That's how the blood on Shi En's face came from.

This scene made the engineering soldiers rushing to repair the city wall turn pale with fright, and Shi En scolded angrily: "You cowards! The shells may not necessarily fall on your head! What are you afraid of!" He said bravely, but Leoric never Seen from behind, Captain Shi En's thick calf was also shaking.

It’s not their fault. The power of this weapon has reached the ceiling of the cold weapon era. These people can’t understand why the shells are so powerful—not to mention this, many people have never even seen ordinary stone-shooting cannons, let alone this Something close to a "balloon".This is the same as the barbarians' beliefs collapsed because of the defeat of the wild beasts. People will have superstitious fears in front of too powerful forces. If this battle is defeated, then Leoric has reason to believe that the plateau people will appear "artillery" God" legend, and even built a "cannon temple" to pray for peace.

Facing this kind of supermodel weapon, it is impossible to boost morale, and we must change our thinking.

Leoric's brain was running fast, he was thinking about the truth he had learned, recalling the memories of his previous life, recalling fragments in various history books or novels, trying to find a way to break the situation.

After some deliberation, Leoric said: "I think there is a high probability that the city wall will fall, and we must prepare for street fighting in advance."

"street fighting?"

Those present, not even General Akkad, had heard of this word.After all, such tactics hardly existed in the era of cold weapons.

Leoric explained: "Using the city's streets, buildings, etc. as shelters to fight is to use the city's buildings as the second wall. The terrain in Wolf City is very complicated. If the enemy pulls the cannon into the city, then we Maybe there is a possibility of destroying the cannon. And when fighting in the street..."

Blosser of the Bloodspear regiment showed a frightened expression, and said, "If the city wall is broken, the battle will be lost. I've never heard of street fighting. Leoric, are you serious?"

Leoric said: "Since ancient times, there has never been such a cannon that can blast through the city wall! Now that the external environment has changed, the ancient art of war will also change...I know this is very risky, but other than that, I have nothing better to do."

Blozer said: "It would be better to concentrate troops to defend the wall."

Leoric said: "In that case, once the city wall is breached, the defenders will be defeated. Why don't you give me some people to prepare for the street fighting in advance."

Blose shook his head and said, "There has never been such a war since ancient times."

"But times are always changing, and we may be on the corner of change."

Leoric had read history and knew how terrible the changes of the times were. When the wheels of history rolled forward, the force was enough to smash all the strongest fortresses.The indestructible Constantinople will fall under the cannon, and even if it calls for 1000 years, the Marble King will not be able to return like lightning.

But others don't know, it's not their fault, people have historical limitations, after all, they haven't traveled through it.

"I disagree," Blozer said.

Audero of the Warriors also said: "Anyway, I will stick to the city wall, and I must not give up here."

Steer of the Blessed Warriors said: "I don't agree either! I will put my precious warriors in the gaps in the city wall, and swear to block the enemy!"

Only Sir Milan groaned, and then said: "I don't think the two tactics... don't conflict. I want to try street fighting."

Audrey poked Sir Milan's chest hard with his finger, and said, "Because you dare not go up the city wall, you coward! Don't think I don't know that you are a deserter..."

"I..." Sir Milan blushed, but couldn't say a word.

"Shut up!" the general yelled.

Audro snorted coldly, then turned his head away, as if there was a pile of foul-smelling rat corpses behind him.

At this moment, the sunlight in the sky suddenly disappeared, followed by a muffled thunder.
