Chapter 693: The Power of Magic
Let's say that Zou Jun's "Little Seven", the third princess of the West Sea, Ao Wuhua, was leading an army to fly in the air and wait for an opportunity to kill the invading ghosts. However, she found that a wave of ghosts was besieging the city and was fighting the magician.
"Boom - boom!" Crazy thunder fell from the sky and torrential rain poured down. During this period, there were countless hailstones the size of fists and even as big as a human head. They hit all kinds of people who surrounded the city-states from all directions and rushed in one after another.
The body of a low-level "ghoul" was instantly smashed into pieces
In addition to rotten meat cakes and broken bones, even various "ghosts" and "blood ghost fish" that can turn their bodies into liquid suffered heavy casualties under the violent storms and lightning strikes. They were either diluted and washed away by the heavy rain, or were washed away by the heavy rain.
The thunder and lightning purified into green smoke that dissipated in the wind, and screamed endlessly.
"Oh, my God! You magicians are so powerful. You can actually control the wind and rain, control thunder and lightning, and severely defeat the arrogance of these demonic armies. You are simply invincible!"
"Jie Jie, of course! Otherwise, how could our magic school have the nerve to send our graduates to you for internship? How could we have the nerve to charge you huge protection fees?"
At this time, a group of city-state aristocrats with the "city lord" as the center had gathered in almost every city-state's "parliament building". They were watching with trepidation the continuous scenes of the "magicians" releasing light waves through the crystal ball and diffracting.
Project the war scenes detected by your own "mental power", which are mainly the battles between humans and ghosts near the city gates, because these expensive
The tribesmen all understand that they cannot stop the invasion of those demons just by raising their own soldiers for thousands of days and using them for a short period of time. After all, the soldiers are only equipped with armor, heavy swords, battle axes, throwing spears and shields. Since the entire West does not pay attention to force,
With the development of rigid crossbows, even the "crossbows" and "British longbows" used by later "Crusades" during the Eastern Expeditions were only average in power.
Therefore, for these soldiers defending the city, the only weapons of mass destruction that may be available are "Mongolian trebuchets", "Greek fire" and "Urban cannons".
Speaking of "Mongolian trebuchets", we have to mention that when Genghis Khan's army marched westward to attack cities in West Asia, Persia and Dashi, they used to use various firearms made by the Han people in the Song Dynasty to attack cities. However, these early black powder thermal weapons were not powerful enough.
Strong, so under the guidance of "experts",
The Mongolian army used large trebuchets to throw some dead cattle and sheep or carrion corpses of plague into the opponent's city, and carried out a "biochemical attack". As a result, the "Black Death" broke out in the opponent's city, and finally spread to the entire city.
Europe has lost nearly half of its population and its strength has plummeted!
"Greek fire" is a liquid incendiary invented by the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. It has the property of burning on the sea or in water. Once it is ignited, it cannot be extinguished and can only be burned alive or even burned to ashes.
So far, it has been mainly used in naval battles, sieges and defenses. When Greek fire meets water, the fire will be very violent and can be used as a long-range jet weapon at sea.
If you install Greek fire into a wooden tube covered with brass, and use its expansion force and water pressure to create a jet device, and shoot the Greek fire to a certain distance, you can cause mass destruction and psychological intimidation to the enemy. And if
Put Greek fire in a clay pot and throw it when you are close to the enemy.
Or using trebuchets for long-distance projection is also a very effective combat mode. It has extended the life of the Eastern Roman Empire for thousands of years, forcing the Ottoman Turkish army to not dare to approach within a hundred meters of the city wall for fear of being burned to death by Greek fire.
Build an Urban cannon without spending a lot of money.
However, with the fall of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, the "Greek Fire" formula tightly controlled by the Byzantine royal family has been lost, and its ingredients are still a mystery. According to the records of the Crusaders who were burned by wax fire at that time: "Whenever the enemy
When the Greek fire attacked us, all we did was kneel down and pray to God for salvation." The same can be seen in the Mongol War.
When the army marched westward to Europe, they did not directly attack Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. Instead, they preferred to turn around and go south to Africa to attack Egypt. However, they were counterattacked by 10,000 slave cavalry of the Mamluk dynasty, and 30,000 Mongolians were killed.
The whole cavalry army was wiped out! It can be seen that in the hearts of the Mongolian army, the city walls of Constantinople and the reputation of "Greek Fire" were too intimidating.
The "Urban Cannon" is a siege weapon cast by the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the European Middle Ages and used to attack the capital of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. It is a thick-skinned long-barreled large-caliber artillery made entirely of bronze. The cannon consists of two circular sections
Made of connected bronze barrels, with a total length of 5.18 meters
, weighing 17 tons. In order to withstand the huge impact of firing, the gun barrel reached an astonishing thickness of 20 cm, and the caliber was astonishingly large at 762 mm, far exceeding the 460 mm main gun of the world's largest battleship Yamato during World War II.
It's no problem for an adult to enter and launch.
The granite cannonball it used weighed 1,360 kilograms. After all, solid projectiles have high inertia and can directly collapse the city wall. However, in order to transport this huge cannon to Constantinople, 400 soldiers and 60 cows were used.
For more than a month, although it was able to directly penetrate the city wall of Constantinople, the loud noise of its cannon fire caused great psychological distress to the defenders and civilians in the city.
Shocking, but due to frequent explosions, the artilleryman and technical instructor Urban were killed on the spot. In desperation, the Ottoman Turkish Empire could only risk the danger of the artillery continuing to explode, and managed to break through the Junshi with the help of the few remaining cannons.
After the city defense of Fort Tantino, the army swarmed in, and finally destroyed the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire that had existed for more than a thousand years, making the cannon a legend!
However, in the era of cold weapons, this so-called "powerful" attack method is fatal to the enemy who are also human beings. However, for the "undead army" composed of various dead creatures, except for "
Any attack other than "Greek Fire" has almost no effect
!Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, even though the city-state soldiers were wearing heavy armor and holding heavy swords to chop, they were swallowed up by the "ghosts" who matched each other before they could chop down the "ghouls".
After losing his soul, he screamed and fell to the sky. He was so dead that he could no longer die.
However, even though these large and small city-states are equipped with powerful weapons such as "Mongolian trebuchets", "Greek fire" and "Urban cannons", when facing the overwhelming "ghost tide army",
The origin is still passive. In addition to the "Greek Fire" which has obvious damage to various ghosts, throwing "biochemical weapons" and heavy artillery bombardment have no effect.
At this time, talents at all levels in the "magic schools" became the life-saving straw for these large and small city-states. At least for now, the damage done by various magics to the ghost army is still obvious.

I have to wait until after get off work or during my monthly break.

There are three self-deprecating limericks, one of which is "Graduation Elegy": Pearls are shining through the winding hills, emerald dinners are steaming in the clouds. Do passers-by ask about Yao's court? I'm going to visit Jingjiang. I dreamed of going back to Jia Tianxia last night, and this morning I lost my soul on Jinji Mountain.
Smiling and sighing at the joys and sorrows of the past three years, feeling angry and joyful towards the world!
The second one is "living in the present": The spring breeze blows slowly on my face, and the autumn waves send you my love. I miss the love in my boudoir, and now I am lonely and sad! Where is there no grass in the end of the world? The corner of the world is speculating to make money.
When the time comes to use it, you will regret it less. If you cut off the supply, you will become a deadbeat!
The third one is "living for oneself": Studying is just for the beauty of a jade? Start a business and now you have a beard! In the past, the green plums came out of the Western Regions, but now the bamboo horses weep for the autumn chrysanthemums! Smiling and lamenting that the world of mortals is unreasonable, and lamenting that the bright moon only entertains oneself. If a man does not show his ambition in his life, it will be in vain.
He has a body of seven feet!

(Before leaving get off work at ten o'clock that night, I heard the noise of an ambulance in the factory area. Under the glare of the glare, I found that the employee passage was blocked by onlookers. The reason was that a middle-aged male colleague from another department was lying unconscious. He was being resuscitated by medical staff using artificial respiration. After a long time of trying, he could not be revived. Only his wife and children were sitting beside him, crying heartbrokenly. It was heartbreaking.
I was in desolation, but there was nothing I could do to help. Later I heard that he died of myocardial infarction. Anyway, he was already dead. One death was a blessing in disguise. I was finally free. I don’t have to suffer from this anymore. Poor family members. Life is difficult! I have to do nucleic acid tests every now and then in the past three days. I was so cruel.
It hurts my throat until I feel like vomiting. In addition, there are many people lining up on rainy days, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. I have to go to work, which affects my writing and slows down updates. I’m really sorry!)
Since the year before last, due to the dual impact of the internal and external environment, Qiongdao's tourism industry has been struggling. In the second half of last year, due to the bankruptcy of the company, I was depressed. It was only while I was looking for a job that I wrote this book, "The World Is Anywhere", in order to
It shows that the heart does not give in to the cruel reality! Although I have great love for urban romance, cultivation fantasy and other novels, I have also regretted that many of the books I was reading encountered "eunuchs"! In addition, several typhoons hit in succession in the second half of last year.
Make Qiongdao
The "Golden Week" was canceled, making it harder to find a job! In order to survive first, and to cope with daily family expenses, monthly mortgage payments, car loans, online loans, and credit card bills, I worked part-time as a courier to deliver meals and run errands for shopping. Finally,
I had no choice but to leave home and work in a factory. I could only survive like an animal and forced myself to fall in love with the "roaring machine". This "social animal experience" had never been thought of before! Therefore, the update of this book has been slowed down.
, I am really helpless, please forgive me!
