Warlord: King of All Clans

Marvin, who was already eager to try, did not hesitate any longer. He asked his artillerymen to load a solid iron bullet. He personally looked at the gun table and calibrated the elevation angle according to past experience.

"ignition!"

With a loud bang, all the artillerymen near the cannon suffered temporary deafness, and several ogres were shocked and fell to the ground.

Marvin immediately picked up the telescope to see his results, then cried out in regret, "What a pity! I missed! I was just a few steps away!"

Several dog-headed artillerymen could not see the situation outside at all and were barking in panic. Some climbed up the gun barrels, some climbed up the parapets, and some simply rode on the shoulders of the human artillerymen.

Because the chamber pressure of the Wanfuchang is too terrifying, the soft lead bullets can no longer withstand it, so there are specially customized solid iron bullets.

The heavy iron ball weighing more than twenty pounds was pushed out of the three-meter-long gun barrel by the exploding gunpowder. It flew two miles and landed in the rear supervision team of the siege troops.

It bounced several times on the ground like a stone skipping on water. Its path was not a completely straight line, but it generally went towards Talhanberk.

Marvin dared to say that this was his best performance.

In fact, the effective range of the Ten Thousand Man Cannon is only two miles. Beyond this distance, the hit rate enters the realm of metaphysics.

Being able to reduce the error of a cannonball from a 10,000-man cannon to less than ten meters requires not only extensive shooting experience but also sufficient luck.

But even so, it still missed and was at least five meters away from Talhanberk's position.

The prairie wolf wizard, who was five meters away from Talhanberk, was still maintaining his high-level spells. He suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, so he quickly opened his eyes and saw a huge iron ball flying towards him.

"Oops, it's coming towards me!"

The solid iron ball flew three miles away, still moving with astonishing speed.

Seeing that the Prairie Wolf Wizard was about to be hit by the shell, layers of black light suddenly appeared in front of him.

The flying iron ball hit the black light, causing ripples and shattering layer after layer of black light barriers. It was finally changed in direction and flew to one side, hitting the flag of the Talhan Legion.

The thick wooden pole of the banner was broken in an instant, and the eagle flag decorated with gold and silver patterns, fluttering in the wind, fell among the panicked crowd.

The Prairie Wolf Wizard suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Not only was the gale spell forced to be interrupted, but the instantaneous burst of magic defense also almost caused his body to collapse.

Although he withstood the bombardment, his eyes were filled with fear and vigilance, and he dared not cast spells again.

Marvin's shot was originally aimed at Talhanberk, but they didn't know the details. They just thought that the mysterious weapon on the opposite side could accurately hit people three miles away and pose a threat to high-level extraordinary people.

This is at least a magical weapon worth a fortune!

Especially Talhanberk, he almost had a heart attack. Even a high-level extraordinary person could barely block this attack. If it fell on him, he would probably be torn into pieces.

As the strong wind disappeared, the fleeing soldiers on the battlefield ran even faster, and soon the entire legion was collapsed.

Those troops that had not yet been hit by artillery fire were swept away by the fleeing soldiers and also fled backwards.

Although the strong wind helped them suppress the rain of arrows and grenades, when they were defeated, fleeing against the wind made it difficult for them to move forward.

How fast you rushed with the wind before, how slow you are running against the wind now.

Now Marvin fired a shot, which actually rescued the mortal soldiers in the west.

From beginning to end, the siege troops of more than 10,000 people were unable to get within a hundred meters of the city wall, and were unable to shoot their arrows at the top of the city wall.

Those low- and middle-level extraordinary generals hidden in the army had no chance to display their combat power. They were either executed by artillery fire or frightened by the bombardment and turned around to flee.

Looking at the horrific battlefield, Talhan couldn't help but sigh. If he hadn't had the knowledge in this area, he would have said, "Times have changed."

The generals on the city walls watched the Talhan Legion flee in disarray, and no one suggested pursuing the enemy.

There was a battle and artillery fire everywhere, but actually on the fortress side, there were less than a thousand people actually involved in the battle.

The entire fortress now has only two thousand defenders. Although Arnold's flag and Rudolf's flag each raised a thousand people to support after hearing the news, not to mention Ivan, even Solovy did not think highly of them and only let them be responsible for the maintenance of the logistics roads.

Carrying out road maintenance in the area controlled by the River Bay Territory is equivalent to going on a picnic.

With such a small number of troops, it would be easy to defend the city with the help of firearms, but it would be too reckless to go out and hunt them down.

The Pegasus Knights' captain, Weir, was also standing beside Solovy. Seeing this, she breathed a sigh of relief and put down her worried heart.

Before arriving at Buck Fortress, she received an order that if any enemy soldiers climbed onto the top of the city wall, her Pegasus Knights would carry barrels of explosives and airdrop them over the battlefield.

This was their first actual combat. Neither the Pegasus nor the knights had any experience in this area, so they were very nervous.

But the Talhan Legion was defeated so quickly that Hewan's backup plan was left vacant.

Just like last time, it was another battle where the outcome was decided immediately.

The troops brought by Talhanbek were almost all elite troops from the Western Territory. There was not much water in them, but they had never seen the power of artillery.

They retreated to the barracks and gathered the defeated troops, and there were almost no deserters.

After counting the casualties, Talhanberk discovered that in just one short battle, at least one thousand legion soldiers were directly killed and another three thousand were seriously injured.

Given the medical conditions in the Western Territory, most of those who were seriously injured could not return.

According to the customs of that era, nearly half of the casualties in the battle were killed or wounded.

In the military tent, except for Talhanbek and a few other leaders who did not directly participate in the battle, the rest of the centurions were all covered in dust and looked listless.

As for the Prairie Wolf Wizard, after being hit by a shot, he was afraid that some high-level extraordinary person on the opposite side would take the opportunity to attack, so he said goodbye and left early, returning to his nest to recuperate.

Tarhan Burke remained radical in front of his men, "The damn northerners actually hid such a powerful weapon. It really caught us off guard."

"Let's rest for a few days, send letters back, and then gather a legion to fight the people from the North to the death!"

The centurions who had originally clamored to recapture Buck Fortress and capture Isenbol were now like eggplants hit by frost, and did not say a word.

A captain who had tried his best to promote this expedition began to back off. "Lord Burke, do you still want to fight? The Northerners can beat us back so easily. What's the point of sending another legion? With the casualties, it's not worth it to capture Fort Buck!"

Tarhan Burke was furious. "Bak Fortress is the ancestral home of our Tarhan tribe, the resting place of our ancestors' souls! We must fight, that's what you said!"

The captain immediately lowered his head and remained silent.

He was the tribal leader who first proposed sending troops. No matter how passionate he spoke at the beginning, he is now in a difficult situation.
