"Boom!"
A stone as big as a millstone fell from the sky. Fortunately, it didn't hit anyone, but the huge sound it made when it came into contact with the wall was still scary.
If such a big stone hits a person, wouldn't it turn into a ball of flesh in an instant? Biduo Fort's defenders were so frightened that they huddled behind the walls and did not dare to show their heads.
Jia Ais outside the wall was very satisfied with the test firing of the trebuchet and burst out laughing.
He turned slightly and praised, "Captain Doug, the technology you brought is really useful! I have been suffering from Thunder Hammer's inability to fight against the rebels. Now that I have made such a weapon, I am no worse than them."
The mercenary captain wearing a cloak on the side smiled slightly, "Thank you, sir. But I would like to see what kind of magical weapon you call [Thunder Hammer], and I hope they can shoot it a few times."
Jia Ais raised his riding whip and pointed at Biduo Fort: "Here! That's the dark thing on the wall, but... humph, it seems that without Greiman, the remaining idiots can't do anything anymore, and such a good weapon is in vain."
Before the attack, he photographed the scout general Biduo Fort and conducted a careful reconnaissance. There was no flag of the Greiman Family or Garnard Family erected on the wall, but there were all the flags of other families in the coalition. It seemed that these two boys were indeed caught up in something happening in the territory, and my father's strategy really worked.
Mercenary captain Doug looked along the direction of Jia Ais. Even though he had excellent eyesight, he could only vaguely see something from this distance.
He requested. "Master Viscount, after the battle is over, this [Thunder Hammer]..."
Jia Ais smiled, "Don't worry, as long as you fight well, half of you will be indispensable."
"Thank you, Sir! Hehe, we in the mercenary business like to collect some novel weapons for research. The more we understand, the more protection we will have."
"Hmph, when I conquer this castle, let alone Thunder Hammer, I will give you more things..."
While Jia Ais and the mercenary captain were talking, the lords of the coalition were hiding in the strongest tower and losing their temper.
"Trash! Idiot! He was suppressed so quickly!"
"You won't know anything as soon as the instructor leaves?"
When the instructors sent by Paul were teaching gunnery, they only briefly mentioned that gunpowder should not get wet. This was common sense among the Alarda Army, so they did not pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, the gunner selected by the coalition forces was completely immersed in the huge power of Artillery. The instructor's words "Don't let the gunpowder get wet" went in from the left ear and came out from the right ear.
Before the Kent army arrived, the Artillerymen instructors along with Transport Company, who was responsible for transporting supplies, withdrew Arda. Paul did not want his baby Artillerymen to stay in such a dangerous place where his own army could not support him.
The new rookies of the coalition forces, Artillerymen, took out all the gunpowder for launch from the warehouse and piled it under the city wall. The enemy could attack at any time, and it was easier to get it if they were placed closer.
Unfortunately, shortly before Kent Army arrived, it rained moderately above Biduo Fort.
When Kent Army was placing the trebuchets, the coalition lords confidently ordered their respective Artillerymen to take the lead and blast them to pieces before the trebuchets were ready.
Then, the four-door Artillery, which was supposed to have outstanding performance, misfired in full view of the public!
Only then did everyone remember that gunpowder cannot be mixed with water!
Without the help of Artillery, the coalition forces could only watch helplessly as Kent Army's trebuchet was ready, throwing stones as big as millstones on their heads again and again.
"Ah! Ah! What are you doing?"
Viscount Johnston took out his sword and waved it around in the air! It looked like he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone! Several officers in charge of Artillerymen trembled and knelt on the ground.
But Viscount restrained himself. These officers and soldiers who learned how to manipulate Artillery are very precious, and they are trusted people in each family.
Earl Parker shouted angrily with a gloomy face, "Why don't you take advantage of the sun now and take the gunpowder to dry."
Earl Mairken also waved his fist fiercely. "If anything goes wrong again, be careful with your heads."
Several Artillerymen officers immediately ran away with their heads in their hands.
The lords looked at each other in silence, and Derrick said leisurely, "We can only hold on for a while. Fortunately, we still have more than a dozen boxes Hand Grenade."
Just when Biduo Fort was rekindling the war, Alarda Army's [Overlord Operation] also started.
On the river north of Fish Tail Town, four Sailing Warships were lined up in a row, and the dark Muzzles were watching the town eagerly.
Although it is called a town, it can actually be regarded as a small city in terms of scale. The northern city wall is built along the river, and there is also a water gate on it, together with the outer river and the artificial waterway in the city.
Schroeder stood on the flagship deck, calmly holding up Telescope and looking towards the town. Beside him were Yarman and Tirpitz.
Commander, the two fleets, looked a little anxious. Tirpitz kept muttering "Why haven't you come back yet?", while Yarman looked at Pocket Watch from time to time.
While they were waiting anxiously, the water gate on the city wall opened, and a small ship rowed out from it, heading straight for the flagship.
After the boat was aboard, an officer climbed onto the deck and came to Schroeder.
"Unfortunately, Solo Carter Viscount did not accept our offer to surrender! This is the reply he wrote."
Schroeder opened the envelope, read the reply carefully, and then handed it over to Tirpitz and Yarman.
Tirpitz was furious after reading it. Although the wording in the letter was relatively tactful, it cursed Paul Greiman without any curse words for joining the "unjust" party and "betraying" the new Duke.
"Lord Schroeder, start the attack. Claude and Baron Andrew have landed at the west gate and are waiting for your order."
Schroeder took out Pocket Watch, looked at it, and nodded.
"Get started!"
Following his order, the four battleships immediately became noisy.
Less than a minute later, huge roars sounded from the south-facing side of each battleship.
In an instant, Fish Tail Town was baptized by dozens of shells.
Some cannonballs knocked down the city wall, causing bricks and stones to fly everywhere, and the soldiers on the wall suffered disaster one after another.
Some cannonballs crossed the city wall and knocked down the houses in the town. The red-hot cannonballs ignited raging fires after hitting flammable materials.
"It's Thunder Hammer! It's the legendary Thunder Hammer!"
"Quick! Counterattack with the ballista!"
The defenders on the wall were either so scared that they cowered behind the wall, or they scurried around like headless flies.
Soldiers, who was in charge of operating the ballista, had the courage to stay beside the ballista and turned the torsion winch with all his strength so that he could shoot farther.
The officer in charge yelled, "Launch!"
The torsion spring drives the crossbow arm to drive the bow string, and the four thick crossbow arrows are shot out quickly, flying towards Arda Fleet...
