The next morning, Wang Chen left the camp, escorted by a team of elite cavalry, and headed towards Gujin Pass.
The Warhorse he was riding stopped about five or six miles away from the city wall, and carefully observed the magnificent fortress ahead.
According to the local guide, this large fortress was built in just two years, and Great Qin spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources on it.
And under Gujin Pass's city wall, there are also a large number of Yan people's bones!
From the outside, this fortress looks impeccable, with towering snow-capped mountains on both sides. Even apes would find it difficult to climb up. Its walls are over a hundred feet high, and are densely covered with anti-Imperial Tower towers behind it.
Heavy crossbows were placed behind each wall stack, and artillery was set up at regular intervals. Great Qin warriors wearing black armor patrolled back and forth holding halberds, creating a heavily guarded scene.
Qin Bing quickly discovered Wang Chen and others snooping in the distance, and immediately blew the whistle to warn.
The sharp whistle sounded in all directions.
Not long after, several people who looked like generals appeared on the city wall, pointing at Wang Chen.
After a while, a cannon mounted on the city wall suddenly spewed out hot smoke, and a black cannonball flew out of the gun and roared towards the location of Wang Chen.
"Sir, be careful!"
The cavalrymen around Wang Chen were all frightened and hurriedly rode in front of him.
This is an indestructible artillery!
However, Wang Chen remained calm and watched motionlessly as the flying shell landed a mile ahead, bounced and rolled forward some distance.
boom! boom! boom!
Several more artillery pieces fired, but none of the shells could reach the edge of Wang Chen and the others.
Now everyone also understood the range of these city-defending artillery, and couldn't help but smile contemptuously.
You must know that the range of the field artillery carried by the Western Expeditionary Army, or Wang Chen, is much greater than that of the opponent.
One of the cavalrymen sneered, "You are so short and weak!"
Everyone burst out laughing!
Maybe they were laughing too loudly, or maybe Qin people on Gujin Pass saw their expressions. In short, a Qin Army general was furious and personally loaded ammunition for a nearby artillery piece.
In order to increase the range, he stuffed twice the amount of gunpowder into the barrel.
The gunner next to him tried to dissuade him, but he was slapped to the ground by General Qin and then stuffed with solid shells.
He also took the torch himself and lit the fuse.
There was only a loud "bang" sound, and the cannon exploded into pieces in an instant. The surrounding gunners were unable to dodge, and were concentrated by large pieces of debris, causing death and injury in a mess!
Although General Qin, the instigator, was extremely skilled, he could not escape the disaster and one of his arms was cut off.
The Qin army on the city wall was in chaos.
Although the Knight people around Wang Chen couldn't see it very clearly, they could still understand what was going on and laughed even louder!
Wang Chen nodded.
Although Great Qin has mastered the production method of artillery and gun weapons, their craftsmanship is still in its infancy, and both power and quality are quite poor.
There is a threat to Great Zhou, but not very big.
However, Wang Chen will never underestimate the opponent because of this, because once a huge empire goes all-out into war, the energy it unleashes is extremely terrifying.
If it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future. After their craftsmen master the basic methods, they will definitely continue to research and improve, and eventually catch up with the technical level of Great Zhou.
This is an important reason why Wang Chen organized this Western Expedition. They cannot give the other party too much time to develop new technologies.
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
Thinking in his mind, Wang Chen led the crowd to retreat two miles to ensure sufficient safety.
Then he ordered people to draw eight squares on the ground and arrange them evenly facing the Gujin Pass direction.
Next it's time for Wang Chen's performance.
He stood in the middle of one of the squares, holding Seven Absolutes Greatsword, and began to cast Law Technique.
The next moment, the ground shook. The soil beneath Wang Chen slowly rose and solidified quickly to form a stone platform.
As Wang Chen continued to activate his magic power, the stone platform rose higher and higher, and finally exceeded a hundred feet in height!
And this height is almost the same as the Gujin Pass city wall.
The Knight people around were all dumbfounded. They were extremely respectful to Wang Chen who was standing on the high platform like a god. They wished they could kneel down and worship on the spot.
Such a miracle can only be created by the supreme national master!
But this is just the beginning.
From morning to afternoon, Wang Chen built eight high platforms in one day.
The reason it took so long was because he needed to constantly restore his mana, otherwise he would not be able to sustain the consumption.
In order to speed up the reply, Wang Chen also took out Spirit Gathering Array Disk and put in spiritual stones to replenish Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for himself.
Since there was no obstruction in front of Gujin Pass, his astonishing move was discovered by the Qin army guarding the city wall.
Qin people didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to take the risk of leaving the seclusion, so he could only watch without interfering.
In fact, if the Qin army really wants to send troops out, they will definitely be greeted by raindrops of bullets and artillery shells!
When night fell, Wang Chen asked people to light bonfires around the high platform to guard against sneak attacks by opponents.
It wasn't until the next morning that he showed off his big dick.
Eight Divine Might Cannon weighing several thousand kilograms were placed on eight solid high platforms by Wang Chen!
Different from the light field artillery, these eight Divine Might Cannon are specially used to guard city fortresses. They are extremely heavy and powerful, and their range is beyond the range of ordinary artillery.
Divine Might Cannon was not cast for field use, because it is too difficult to transport it, but Wang Chen with Cangqing Ring can ignore all the shortcomings of these heavy artillery and bring them to the front line of the war.
The eight Divine Might Cannon were specially prepared by him to attack the enemy city.
Each Divine Might Cannon is equipped with dozens of gunners.
Following Wang Chen's order, they began to skillfully adjust the gun position and shooting angle, and then loaded ammunition.
"Fire!"
Boom! boom! boom!
Zun Divine Might Cannon suddenly showed his power and fired cannonballs weighing hundreds of kilograms at Gujin Pass.
Since all the cannons were set up on high platforms, there was no problem of attacking from above. Three of the eight cannonballs in the first round landed accurately on the city wall, and the other five all landed inside the fortress.
There was a violent explosion instantly!
Although the Qin army was on guard, they could not stop the falling shells, and they were suddenly blasted to the point of screaming and wailing.
"Keep up the fire and keep attacking."
Wang Chen said in a deep voice, "The cavalry is ready to intercept!"
He wanted to see how long the enemy cowering in Gujin Pass could endure under the bombardment of eight Divine Might Cannon!
