The Three Kingdoms

The Roman soldiers on the city wall suddenly panicked.

Olveri took a deep breath and calmed down: "After all, they are looking forward to it!"

He knew that Wu Jun had such a terrifying weapon, so how could he be unprepared.

"Pass my military order to lift all the wooden scarecrows wearing the costumes of my Roman soldiers up against the city wall, so that the oriental demons outside the city can see their corners of clothing, and then the whole army retreats into the city and abandons the city wall!"

"promise!"

A messenger quickly went to deliver the military order.

The Roman soldiers on the city wall began to get busy.

under the city.

Ding Feng mobilized a hundred red-clothed cannons in one breath, and half of the main force of the field artillery army came out. He looked up at the city wall, his eyes became hot, and he wanted to use this battle to wash away the former field artillery army. The shame of the unfavorable attack.

"Report to the commander, the debugging is complete!"

"The muzzle is descending five degrees, firing at a forty degree angle!"

"Yes!"

"Prepare!"

Ding Feng raised the small golden battle flag, and the tip of the flag faced the city wall ahead: "Fall!"

Boom boom boom! ! ! ! ! ! !

Hundreds of red-clothed cannons fired at once, and amidst the earth-shattering sound, the shells were like meteors falling from the sky, smashing fiercely on the southern city wall of Damascus...

[Text 440 Chapter Seven Death of Severus Eleven]

Damascus city.

"Too high five degrees, send it again!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Put it down three times, and send it again!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Okay, according to this angle, ten consecutive shots!"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The shells fell on the city wall, outside the city wall, and inside the city wall. The sound of explosions made the ground shake, as if the whole world was trembling.

This is an ancient city. In the twelfth century BC, it became the capital of the Aramaic people and began to be built. This city is the strongest city in the Middle East. After the Hellenistic era, it was finally conquered by Alexander the Great and developed into the most prosperous city in the Middle East.

After the death of Alexander the Great, the city of Damascus gradually weakened its influence in the Middle East because Seleucid I, the great emperor of the Seleucid Dynasty, established the capital of the Seleucid Dynasty in Antioch.

But it is undeniable that this is a city with a rich history, known as the city of Damascus in the kingdom of heaven, is a strong and indestructible city.

But today, the tall and thick walls of Damascus were destroyed by Wu Jun's red cannons.

The city walls of Nancheng had a radius of three li, and they were engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

"It's too dangerous. If it wasn't for His Excellency the Pope's clever plan, let us retreat early, we might be buried in the ruins today!"

"Damn oriental devil, so vicious!"

"What kind of artifact is this? It's so powerful, it's terrifying!"

"God, why don't you open your eyes and see!"

"Lord, save our Roman Empire!"

"Demons from the East, why do they have such terrifying weapons!"

In the city, on a flat slope six or seven miles away from the southern city, the army was lined up. Countless soldiers of the Roman Empire watched this scene dumbfounded, each swallowing the saliva in their throats, with a trace of fear and a trace of gratitude in their hearts.

They have learned a lot about Wu Jun's Thunderbolt, but there are very few red cannons.

Although he used the terrain to win once before, Wu Jun's red cannon did nothing.

But they have never really seen the lethality of these red cannons.

Hundreds of red-clothed cannons exploded, and the overlapping destructive power of shells has surpassed countless people's expectations. Not only the Romans in the city, but even the generals of the Wu army stared dumbfounded at the shattered city walls. .

"Amazing!"

"The power of my Great Wu Dynasty is overwhelming, no one in the world can stop it!"

"Your Majesty is worthy of being a wise emperor through the ages. He is wise and powerful. He was born knowing it, so he can make such a terrifying weapon!"

"With this weapon, my army of Wu is invincible and invincible!"

On the viewing platform of the command battalion, each of the staff officers and each of the generals was sincerely sighing and proud.

"The red-clothed cannon is worthy of being the number one artifact of Great Wu. It is so powerful that even such a tall city wall can't stop it. If every army of our Wu army can be equipped with such a divine weapon, who can stand in front of my Great Wu Dynasty!"

The chief general, Pan Feng, stood at the front of the watchtower, watching with both hands through the binoculars, and through the binoculars, brought the sea of ​​flames under his eyes, a pair of long and narrow eyes burst into a scorching light, and sighed faintly.

"The commander-in-chief said it easily. Do you think His Majesty doesn't want every army to be equipped with such a magical weapon? Your Majesty is a person who cherishes soldiers. He wants to advocate reaping the best results at the lowest cost, but His Majesty is doing it now. It is not enough to match the output of this weapon with the soldiers of each army!"

The silent Chen Gong suddenly spoke.

"why?"

asked a general.

Hearing this, Chen Gong showed a slight wry smile on his face. He is the deputy chief of staff in charge of logistics in the first war zone, and he knows these things best. , How much will the imperial household department have to pay for such a round of shells?"

In fact, the iron-smelting technology of the Great Wu Dynasty was not mature, and the technology Sun Quan himself knew was just empty talk. Even if he could tell some modern steel-making methods, it would be difficult to achieve high-quality products. At most, he could barely maintain this strength. .

And whether it is gunpowder or artillery manufacturing level is very low.

Therefore, even though the Great Wu Dynasty has been researching the red cannon for several years, it is difficult to achieve mass production in manufacturing, or there will be more than one field artillery army.

Of the millions of Wu troops, only the First Battlefield and the Navy have some red cannons, and the other armies and theaters only use thunderbolts.

It's not that Sun Quan doesn't want to, it's that Sun Quan can't do anything.

The high cost of the red cannon was beyond the expectations of the imperial court.

Even the cost of one cannonball is enough to cover a family of three for a month. One can imagine how much logistical pressure there is today.
