Overgod Ascension

Boom!

As if the gods were angry, the giant snake caused an earthquake, and the entire Whistling City trembled with the terrifying sound.

Baron Terry and Baron Wilfer fell off their frightened horses almost in embarrassment. Their eyes were straight and their eardrums were shaking.

Seeing the terrifying red flames flying from the wooden cannon, falling on the Howling Castle, setting off a terrifying explosion, even Tana was stunned.

"What's this?"

They looked at Wu Ming together: "Is it a terrible weapon from the devil in hell?"

"It's working well! Keep going!"

Wu Ming looked at the wall with a gap and ordered again.

He came to this world, developed industry, and farmed for several years. He naturally figured out the most basic rules of physics and chemistry, and it was reasonable to create similar explosives.

However, due to the difference in power and the preciousness of iron materials, pure iron cannons cannot be cast, but wooden cannons are still sufficient.

This wooden cannon uses hard tree bodies such as nanmu, elm, and willow as the barrel. It must be thick enough, and then the core of the tree is hollowed out, a round hole is dug, and a thick iron pipe is inserted. The iron hoop is tightly hooped and wrapped one by one with thick iron wire. Finally, a wooden hole is drilled at the end to place the fuse.

Although it is a crude method and the launch is slow, it is still an out-and-out deadly weapon in this world.

The wooden cannons designed by Wu Ming were eight feet long and half a foot in diameter at the inner mouth. They could hold more than ten pounds of gunpowder and thirty or forty pounds of broken iron each time. When it was time to start, the muzzle was reused. Sealed with cotton and other objects, within the effective range, not even the city wall can withstand it.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the manufacturing process is simple. Using existing materials and a few carpenters and blacksmiths, they can be tinkered with continuously.

However, the chance of the chamber exploding is not small, but Wu Ming spared no expense and lost a lot of manpower, and gradually figured out the best ratio. Now in operation, the risk is greatly reduced.

Even so, wooden gunners must undergo special training and are well-paid, and the pension for those killed in battle is extremely heavy.

"It's a pity... with the shabby foundation of this world, if we don't carry out industrial upgrading for a hundred years, we can't even think about the grand scene of lining up to shoot, cannons and giant ships. Instead, we spare no expense and hand-polished a few firecrackers for fun, which is barely enough. It's possible."

Wu Ming put aside his thoughts and continued drinking: "Aim at the castle gate and the soldiers above! Don't be stingy with ammunition, blast them over for me!"

This wooden cannon is not only extremely lethal, but the sound it makes is enough to scare people to death.

Anyway, even though the militia group he led was well prepared, they were still in a panic. For other ordinary soldiers who had never seen the power of artillery shells, it was even more terrifying like a nightmare.

"This is a gift from God!"

The archbishop looked at this scene, as if there was fire in his eyes: "This is the sacred flame, given to our king, to revolutionize the world!"

Tana took a deep breath, her towering chest rising and falling, and her eyes looking at Wu Ming were full of surprise and uncertainty.

After calculating how much Wu Ming should spend to buy out the entire church, she shook her head and began to seriously consider the possibility that what these magicians said was true.

This is the limitation of the times, and even any genius must be subject to this.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Loud noises continued. In the fiery explosion, the thick wooden door of Howling Castle finally couldn't bear it. It was hit by a shot. The whole explosion exploded, and a large amount of blood mist flew out.

In order to increase the lethality, in addition to solid iron bullets, the wooden cannons also contained a large number of iron nails, scrap iron pieces, etc. Once they exploded in the crowd, the consequences would be disastrous.

After all the wooden cannons roared, the original Howling Castle had become riddled with holes.

The gunners immediately stepped forward to inspect the barrel and reload it.

After each launch, loading is troublesome. This is the biggest flaw of the wooden cannon. Fortunately, it is a tough battle. Our side has a great advantage. This small flaw is nothing. Even in the field, this wooden cannon unit can carry out Wu Ming was already satisfied with one round of bombardment and intimidation of the other side's soldiers.

"Jack, Ava, come forward with the gendarmerie!"

Wu Ming stared in the direction of the castle gate and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Protect the wooden cannon and the gunner!"

A team supporting crossbows immediately stepped forward and formed an iron wall with cross swords and shields.

"For the honor of the Wellington family!"

Sure enough, just as the gendarmerie stepped forward, a squad of knights rushed out at an alarming speed. The leader shouted loudly, and the sound spread throughout the audience.

"Are you going to destroy my wooden artillery unit?"

Wu Ming looked at this scene and smiled coldly.

"Fire the arrow!"

Jack roared angrily, and the gendarmerie pulled the trigger. The crossbows in their hands formed a fan-shaped rain of arrows, completely locking the small space in front of them.

Phew!

The sounds of crossbows breaking into human bodies continued one after another, and large areas of blood exploded. Almost instantly, the team suffered heavy casualties.

"Even if a knight is in a small range, it is very dangerous to be shot by a crossbow..."

Wu Ming stared at the armored figure at the beginning. The figure was so nimble and agile that hundreds of pounds of weight seemed to be nothing on his body, and he rushed to the front of the formation in an instant.

Most of the crossbow arrows were easily avoided by him. Even if they could hit him, the astonishing kinetic energy only made him slightly startled.

"But how many knights do you have?"

Wu Ming spoke in a low voice, with neither sadness nor joy in his eyes.

"Surround him and suppress him with crossbows!"

Jack roared, also wearing armor, and rushed forward, the giant sword forged from blood steel flashing with crimson brilliance.

boom!

The armored knight threw out a throwing ax, and the two collided in mid-air, making a dull sound.

"kill!"

Jack rushed forward to fend off the knight. Heavily armed soldiers surrounded them, and crossbowmen took aim from a distance.

In such a formation, even if the great knight is surrounded, the outcome will probably be disastrous.

Wow!

After a few crossbow arrows, the armored knight froze. Jack seized the opportunity and slashed down with his giant sword, cutting off one of his arms.

"kill!"

The soldiers roared, waved their fishing nets, and immediately covered the knight, and their swords penetrated through the gaps in the armor.

puff! puff!

After a few blows, a large amount of blood flowed from the armor.

"He is a brave knight!"

Jack solemnly saluted the knight's body and glanced at the figure above the castle. The provocation was very obvious.

In war, even knights may fall.

Even Wu Ming would not dare to charge with one person.

Seeing the death of this group of knights, there was a commotion in the castle, and there were faint sounds of crying and cursing.

In the meantime, another messenger came, wanting to ask for negotiations so that Wu Ming could give them at least noble treatment, but Wu Ming refused.

After all, what happened to the Earl of Blue Mountain before was his best excuse.

Now his enemies are no longer the nobles before, but despicable lord killers and brutal murderers!

When dealing with them, there is no need to pay attention to the morality among nobles.

Once the other party breaks the rules, it is completely legal to break them again.

There was a dead silence in the castle, as if the people inside had completely given up resistance and were waiting for the judgment of fate.

"Tell the Viscount of Eagle Castle and the Wellington family that they have only one choice, and that is to surrender unconditionally!"

Wu Ming looked at the setting sun and said to the pale and trembling messenger: "And... I will only wait for the hourglass time of the two of them!"

This is actually the time it takes for the wooden cannon to reload, and nothing is wasted.

After the frustrated envoy returned, Wu Ming did not see the white flag raised as he expected. Instead, the other party began to desperately block the castle gate, seemingly preparing to fight tooth and nail.

"Very well, now that they have made their choice, let's send them all to hell!"

Wu Ming showed no mercy. After the wooden cannon was reloaded, he immediately ordered: "Attack the target city gate!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The cannon roared, and the unlucky soldiers and carpenters were torn into pulp by the metal storm almost in an instant and scattered in all directions. The scene was horrific.

Under such intense bombardment, the Howling Castle suddenly shook, and a section of the city wall also collapsed.

"Order the infantry regiment to move forward and attack from two routes!"

Wu Mingchuan issued an order: "After entering the castle, search every room. I grant you unlimited power to use swords. You can directly kill any human who dares to show hostility!"

Howling Castle naturally needs a good cleaning.

Moreover, there may be a group of noble prisoners inside, even the widow and daughters of the Earl of Blue Mountain. If they are used, it will be a problem.

Thorough cleaning is very necessary.

"kill!"

Jack, Ava and others have been impatient for a long time.

After hearing Wu Ming's order, a group of knights took the lead in wearing armor and rushed into the castle through the gap and damaged gate like an assault vehicle.

The cry of killing rang out and quickly turned into a wail.

For the soldiers who relied on the castle to defend themselves, watching the castle be blown down was an unparalleled psychological blow.

Wu Ming also knew very well that those thousand soldiers posed no threat to him at all. The only thing he had to be careful about was that the other party would use the small terrain in the castle to hide in every room and dark corner to fight a war of attrition with him.

In history, there are many examples of city walls being breached, only to be consumed in large numbers in street battles and completely defeated.

"Prepare poison smoke!"

Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision: "Once the opponent breaks into pieces and hides deep in the entire castle, immediately seal the castle and release poisonous fog!"

This kind of behavior without chivalry immediately made Baron Terry and Baron Wilfer next to them dumbfounded. Only Tana's body was shaken, and her eyes looking at Wu Ming were even more inexplicable.

Rage like thunder and kill with one strike, this is also the method of the king!
