I, Son of Tiamat

Afterwards, Qiye came to Gilgamesh's side. Facing the surrounding Uruk soldiers, he opened his mouth gently, and he used the Crystal of Destiny Music to speak softly.

"Ahead of us is the Kish army who is trying to crush Uruk."

"And behind us is Uruk."

"So warriors who have no way to escape, please fight hard for Uruk, for your family, and for your glory."

Qiye's three short sentences, like a guide injected with magic power, made the blood of the people in Uruk flood into their hearts, and they were no longer timid in their hearts, and they tightly grasped the weapons in their hands.

I don't know if it was the illusion of the Uruk soldiers. They suddenly felt that their bodies were constantly emitting strength, as if... they were strengthened!

Gilgamesh shook his palm and felt the sudden rising power. He knew that it was Qiye who used the Crystal of Destiny to give everyone the ability to increase, bless, and so on.

"You still have important things to do later. Is it okay to consume such a large amount of energy now?" Gilgamesh looked at Nanye and said.

"No problem, I just need to eat something and drink some water and I will recover." Qiye waved his hand indifferently, he glanced at Gilgamesh, and said seriously, "Remember our battle plan, Whether it can defeat such a huge enemy in one fell swoop depends on whether this plan can be successfully successful.”

"Don't worry, this king will never lose the chain." Gilgamesh grinned, "After the second explosion, you can start taking action at Qiye. No matter whether the plan goes well, the next thing will be handed over to this king. With the soldiers behind you!"

Qiye glanced at Gilgamesh's scarlet eyes, and after seeing that there was no arrogance in his eyes, he nodded reassuringly.

"Then I'll leave first."

When the war was about to break out, Qiye turned and left the wall. He came to a well and jumped up~

With a plop, Qiye jumped directly into the well, and then he turned into running water, passed through the river of Uruk, and left Uruk.

And the place where Qiye reappeared was in the canal that he had opened up before.

"The next step is to wait for the signal..." Qiye lay on the flowing water of the canal, then closed his eyes and quietly waited for the signal from Gilgamesh.

King Aga of Kish, he originally wanted to rely on his powerful and numerous army to deter Uruk and make them fear...

But after witnessing Uruk, Aga and their army were deterred by Uruk...

On the endless plain, the city of Uruk is protected by towering city walls.

"This... is Uruk? How could it have such a tall city wall." Aga, who was riding on the back of the burly bull, muttered to himself. Guan Shi looked up at the city wall in front of him, and he was already dizzy. Dizzy feeling.

You know, in this era, at this time, there is no such thing as a city wall.

Except for Uruk, almost all cities are unobstructed. At most, temples are built to act as walls...

Therefore, if a large-scale army charges in the past, it will be able to calm down the city without any pressure.

But now Uruk has walls [circling the city], and even if Kish's army is huge, they can't think of a good way to break through these walls.

"King, this must be scaring people. You must know that even Nippur, the 'god of gods', never had a city wall of this scale. As long as we send soldiers to walk around the city wall, we will definitely be able to find people who are not surrounded by the city wall. A breakthrough."

When King Aga of Kish heard this, he nodded again and again, "That makes sense!"

That's right... Uruk's wall is only a section! Impossible to surround the entire Uruk!

You must know that building something like a wall will cost countless human, financial, and energy.

The city of Nippur, known as the 'God of the Gods', has airtight walls.

But ah... Nippur is the religious center of Mesopotamia, a holy city in the hearts of everyone.

Therefore, the city wall of Nippur was jointly funded by all the kings of the Mesopotamia and provided labor. With the human and financial resources of the entire southern Mesopotamia, it took several decades to build it.

Section 52 Chapter 51 The war between Uruk and Kish started [1/3]

so! As a holy city, Nippur had to spend so much manpower, financial resources and time in order to construct the ring city [wall].

How could such a small kingdom of Uruk be able to build a city wall around the entire Uruk just by relying on its own strength and wealth?

The king of Kish, Aga, thought that Uruk could not be completely protected by the towering walls, so his heart was instantly determined, and then he spread this speculation to the soldiers and calmed them against Uruk’s walls. The consternation and turmoil that resulted.

Next, the king of Kish, Aga, sent soldiers to investigate the situation of the wall, and the remaining Kish army began to set up camp, and began to rest and fill their stomachs.

The king of Kish, Aga, stared at Uruk's astonishing scale wall without blinking when he was biting the dry food. Now he has witnessed the wall of Uruk with his own eyes, and wants to attack Uruk. The thoughts that come down are getting stronger and stronger.

"The king who has such a wall is because he is the king." Kish's king Aga muttered to himself, and then he was convinced of what he said just now, and put on a pair of 'Yes, that's it ' expression.

As if he had regarded Uruk as his own.

"Huh?" Ajia, who was thinking about peach, was suddenly stunned. What did he see... He actually saw that the gate of Uruk's city wall was opened, and Uruk's soldiers walked from the city wall one after another. come out.

"Uh!? Uruk actually opened the city gate and let the soldiers come out? Are they planning to give up the protection of the city gate and come to confront us directly outside the city?"

The king of Kish, Ajia, stared blankly at the situation in the distance, and then he shuddered, "No! They must have thought that we came from afar, and their bodies are already exhausted! That's why they gave up the city wall. Advantage, took the initiative to attack!"

"But it's really stupid! This king's army is a terrible existence that can continue to fight without sleep for three days, without eating or drinking!" King Aga of Kish threw away the dry food in his hand, and he shouted loudly, making everyone The troops stopped to rest and fill their stomachs, ready to fight.

Kish is worthy of being the strongest country, and the army ruled by Ajia is also extremely well-trained. After receiving his order, they immediately assembled neatly.

Gilgamesh was not in front of the Uruk soldiers. He was now wearing dazzling golden armor, standing on the Uruk city wall. Kish army.

The king of Kish, Aga, led the army this time, mainly infantrymen who were easy to move. The infantry in front wore armor and bronze helmets, and also held rectangular shields and sharp spears.

This is the vanguard. Looking at the shield, the vanguard with spears slammed into the enemy, and the soldiers behind them armed with axes, sharp blades, and daggers followed closely, continuing to harvest the chaotic enemy.

With such equipment and powerful soldiers, King Aga of Kish attacked all the cities around Kish.

"Uruk! As a weak country, it dares to refuse the order of Kish, the strongest kingdom." The king of Kish shouted loudly to Uruk.

Aga's voice was like thunder, and even if the two sides were hundreds of meters apart, his voice could clearly reach Gilgamesh and the ears of everyone in Uruk.

"My king Aga, the king of Kish, the son of Geshe Nmebala! Today we will oppress the arrogant Uruk, capture the king of Uruk, and get everything from Uruk!"

When Gilgamesh heard Aga's words, his handsome face twisted with anger, "This is the first time this king has met someone who is more arrogant than this king."

"Very well, that's what you think, then this king will return it to you as it is. This king will capture the king of Kish and get everything in Kish."

Because of his anger at Aga's arrogant remarks, Gilgamesh didn't even bother to talk to him, only to see Gilgamesh standing proudly on the city wall raised his palm, he roared, "Throwing stones. Get ready, we Uruk will give some greetings to the enemies from afar! I hope they can accept this gift with joy!"

The catapult was something that did not exist in this era, but Seven Nights provided Gilgamesh with such a thing, allowing him to project the black powder bomb he made through the catapult.

As for how you asked Qiye how to make the trebuchet... That's what Qiye saw with his eyes.

Thirteen years ago, Qiye saw Semiramis's life, and learned how to make trebuchets from the Assyrian Empire after this era.

The Assyrian slings are the simplest...

It is composed of two ropes or belts, and then a small piece of leather is tied in the middle of the ropes or belts to hold the stones. Then throw it hard.

Well, this simplest catapult has nothing to aim at. Whoever hits the thrown stone will be unlucky...

In the absence of arrows, this is the easiest long-range attack...

After this extremely simple catapult, the Assyrians later invented the catapult that was propelled by mechanical force.

They use a rope made of beef tendon to tighten it with a tall wooden machine, and then release it abruptly. The huge stones thrown will be poured on the enemy city to attack the enemy, thus achieving the situation of destroying the castle and destroying the city gate.

In order to obtain the tendons for making these slings, Gilgamesh deliberately slaughtered more than a dozen bulls...

After Gilgamesh gave the order to drop the explosives, the soldiers of Uruk carefully placed the terrifying explosives weighing five kilograms on the catapults.

This thing that is loaded with black powder is a hollow ball made of bronze, with a special lead wire attached to it. It is hollow and weighs two pounds. It is filled with sharp iron pieces, black powder and some scattered flints. , it weighed five pounds in total.

If someone cut open this five-pound terrifying explosive, they would find that the black powder contained in it turned out to be granular, not powder.

It was because Qiye deliberately made the black powder into granules so that the black powder contained in the copper ball could burn quickly.

After the ox tendon sling threw the five-pound copper ball, when it would land and how far it would throw it, Qiye had already figured it out.

So now, Gilgamesh and the others just need to set Kish's army within the throwing range of the catapult, ignite the lead, and let the catapult throw the gunpowder out.

Because Qiye was worried that the ignited lead would go out after being thrown, he even prepared a hand inside the copper ball...

It's flint.

Chapter 53 Chapter 52 Ignite the lead! Ready to launch! 【2/3】

After the copper ball falls to the ground, the inside of the copper ball will vibrate violently, and the pieces of flint will be rubbed together. As long as a trace of sparks bursts out, even if the fire of the lead is extinguished, the copper ball will also explode.

Now there are two things Qiye is worried about...

One, when the soldiers of Uruk were carrying these copper balls, they accidentally smashed them on the ground, and then the copper **** detonated inside Uruk.

Instead of blowing up the enemy, he was suffocated to death.

Second, when the copper ball is thrown out, will the flint in it directly rub into sparks... and then ignite the black powder contained in the copper ball.

"I have gone through many tests, so there should be no problem." Qiye, who was lying in the river, muttered to himself. Although he had confidence in what he had created, it was a matter of whether it could be defeated smoothly. Kish's powerful army, so there is a trace of unease in his heart now.

The king of Kish, Aga, rode a burly bull, and behind him stood the shield infantry who broke away the enemy. Now he looked at the Uruk army in the distance, and his cruel and ferocious expression emerged. face.

Now Aga thinks that he and the army behind him are lions, while the group of Uruk soldiers and the king of Uruk in front of them are weak and powerless.

woohoo woohoo~

The war started, Kish's army blew the horn symbolizing the horn, and the low and humming sound of the horn spread in the area of ​​Uruk, the soldiers of Uruk heard the horn sound, looked firm, and clenched with the weapon in his hand.

In the face of Kish's mighty and boundless army, the soldiers of Uruk did not have a trace of fear in their hearts. Their fear had been taken away by the sages. Next, they only needed to obey their king's orders and charge forward.

As the horns of the bull horn sounded, the heart-shaking drums of war sounded. The king of Kish, Aga, rode a bull mount and took the lead in charging, and behind him followed the battle pulled by ten strong donkeys. car.

And behind the ten chariots is the infantry army that screamed like a landslide. They held heavy shields and carried spears, like a rushing tide, and began to charge towards Uruk's army. .

The infantry, who were running with all their strength, were no slower than Aga's bull and chariot. They were now closely following the chariot behind Aga.

The earth... trembled under the footsteps of Kish's army.

This shock shocked the residents of Uruk City. The women and children had heard the screams of the Kish army. Now they can only silently pray to the city gods in their hearts, hoping that the gods will protect them.

Gilgamesh on the city wall looked coldly at the incoming enemy, and after the group of enemies reached the range of the sling, he grinned.

"Ignite the lead and prepare to launch!"

The shivering servant next to Gilgamesh turned around immediately and shouted at the catapult behind the city wall, "Tit a little... Light up the leads! Prepare to launch!"

"Ignite the lead! Prepare to launch!" The Uruk soldiers in the city shouted in unison, and lit the burning torch on the lead on the copper ball.

zizizi...

The dried lead was quickly ignited by a hot flame. Looking at the burning lead, the Uruk soldier in charge of the catapult swallowed slightly.

"That god-like attack will be repeated again! It will expel the enemy for us and bring victory!"

The sling was activated, the burning copper **** were thrown out, and several copper **** flew into the sky from behind Gilgamesh, and then began to fall towards Kish's army.

King Aga of Kish narrowed his eyes and looked at the things that fell in the sky. Those things were round and still burning, leaving behind their burning flame tail black smoke in the sky.

He didn't know what it was, but he thought...

"Useless things." King Aga of Kish didn't care. Those little things were not as big as his clenched fist, so what could they do?

At most, it's just smashing to death a few unlucky soldiers...

Boom boom boom boom!

The copper **** with burning leads, with their long flame tails, fell into the army charged by Kish, not just killing a few unlucky soldiers...

The black powder copper **** completely exploded in the dense Kish army. The explosion caused the earthquake to crack. The terrifying high temperature baked the soldiers into black coal, and the frantic shock wave shattered the soldiers' bodies. with internal organs.

The most tragic thing is the other soldiers. They were slashed by the iron pieces that were shot out by the explosion. Before they knew anything, their hands, feet, or bodies were cut off by the iron pieces that flew away.

The scene was very **** and tragic.

Now Kish's army is a chaotic scene, because the gunpowder is exploding at close range, and their heads are now buzzing, as if someone hit their heads with a hammer.

Headache and dizziness.

Therefore, Kish's army could not maintain the previous charging form at all, and the situation of trampling on each other spread throughout the entire army.

The king of Kish, Aga, stood up with a gray head and a gray face. He wanted to pull up the twitching bull, but he couldn't because the bull was scared by the sound of the explosion just now.

After pulling up the bull to no avail, Ajia began to look around in a daze, what did he see... He saw the powerful army he was proud of and spent countless money and energy cultivated, howling in pain .

Confusion, confusion, panic, fear... all kinds of negative emotions pervade this army.

"This is... a major weapon." Gilgamesh looked down at the chaotic Kish army not far away, and his handsome face showed ecstasy, "Yes, Qiye is right, this is indeed able to influence a great weapon of war."

With the explosion of the copper ball, the river water in the distant canal was trembling, it burst into ripples, and Qiye, who was lying in the river, opened his deep eyes.

"The earth shook five times at the same time in a short period of time. Judging from this situation, the copper ball should have exploded smoothly in Kish's army."

If the copper ball exploded in Uruk, or exploded after being thrown by the catapult, it would be impossible for five copper **** to fall to the ground one after another and then explode.
