The defenders were demoralized and frightened by the boulders thrown in by Huihui H. It was only a matter of time before the city was captured.

However, the golden soldiers affected by the demonic energy do not have the problem of morale collapse, and they will still resist tenaciously.

In this case, if you want to use h to break the city, the time required will increase exponentially.

General Han Fuyue said: "In any case, this new type of trebuchet has greatly advanced the time for us to conquer Yanjing City!

"As long as we build a few more gates like this and attack several walls of Yanjing City at the same time, we can always create a gap."

Li Hongyun shook his head slightly: "No need, General Han, we have something better to use."

General Han Fuyue was even more surprised: "A better one?"

With his level of knowledge, he really couldn't think of any more useful siege equipment than this giant trebuchet.

Li Hongyun and other players left the battlefield and returned to their camps to be busy for a while.

Then, several heavy cannons dragged by mules and horses arrived on the battlefield.

"This is?"

General Han Fuyue looked at this huge thing made of copper with some curiosity. He roughly estimated that it weighed several thousand kilograms.

Li Hongyun and other players directed the soldiers to place the cannon, clean the cannon bore, and load gunpowder and shells in a specific order.

"This is a new type of artillery that can replace the trebuchet!"

General Han Fuyue looked at the cannon in front of him seriously, wondering how it could replace the trebuchet.

After all, he has already experienced the powerful power of Hui Hui H.

Judging from the size, Huihui H is more than ten meters high. People below it feel like looking up at a huge monster. Pulling the lever and lowering the swing arm require the joint efforts of many soldiers. There are so many stones in the counterweight box.

The weight of the block can be easily estimated.

Therefore, people in this era can more easily imagine the terrifying power of Huihui h.

But the artillery in front of me is hard to say.

It seems to be made of copper, and its size is amazing, but how can such a copper lump be turned into a siege weapon? This is indeed a test of people's imagination at this time.

"Prepare - fire!"

At the command, Li Hongyun held a torch and lit the cannon's fuse himself.

After the "Bah, Bah, Bah" sound of the fuse burning, Li Hongyun quickly ran to a safe area and kindly reminded General Han Fuyue to block his ears.

General Han Fuyue followed the instructions with some confusion, and then heard a loud noise that shook the earth!

"boom!!"

The sound this time was far more terrifying than the sound of the Huihui boulder falling into Yanjing City!

I saw that under the explosion of gunpowder, the cannon weighing several thousand kilograms was buried in the ground, and the seemingly heavy cannonball that was originally inserted into the muzzle flew towards the wall of Yanjing City!

Huihui H is already the pinnacle of trebuchets in the cold weapon era.

But in front of the cannon, uukanshu www.uukanshu.com it pales in color.

The trajectory of a stone thrown by a trebuchet is a parabola. When a stone rises, it must first convert kinetic energy into potential energy, and then convert potential energy into kinetic energy.

In this process, the huge rocks also face the loss of air resistance. The farther the range, the greater the kinetic energy lost.

Therefore, Hui Hui H can hit a distance of several hundred meters, which is already the limit.

It is the most powerful weapon created by humans using physical properties under cold weapon conditions.

However, artillery directly converts the energy generated by the gunpowder explosion into the kinetic energy of the projectile. It not only has a high burning rate, but also generates a large amount of high-pressure gas. The flight trajectory of the projectile is approximately a straight line, so it can not only avoid losses caused by parabolic trajectories, but also generate a large amount of high-pressure gas.

It also greatly increases range.

Therefore, the reason why such a big killer weapon like Huihui H did not appear again later was not entirely because its technology was lost. The more important reason is that compared with artillery, it was completely destroyed in all aspects and was no longer suitable for the brand new artillery.

It's a battlefield.

After a loud noise, all the Qi troops were shocked to the point where their ears were ringing and their eyesight even went dark.

Then, they all looked in the direction of Yanjing City.

I saw the heavy cannonball roaring and hitting the wall of Yanjing City.
