Chapter 1,782 Modification of Cannonballs
It's not that the artillery is not powerful, but that the power of the artillery is not used in the right place. Luo Zhang actually made changes to the artillery before leaving Chang'an.
In other words, it’s not the artillery that has been changed, but the cannonballs!
In the past, ordinary cannonballs were fine, but hitting the Undead Knight was a waste of ammunition.
Before Luo Zhang left Chang'an, he went to the weapons workshop once and gave some of his drawings to the weapons workshop.
He asked them to make more according to the drawings he had made, so Luo Zhang got another two million taels of silver and threw it to the weapons workshop.
It's not that Luo Zhang doesn't want to get more, but he doesn't have that much money anymore. He donated 10 million taels before, and now it's 2 million taels. His income is not as much as his income, so he can't make ends meet!
Luo Zhang didn't tell anyone else about this matter. It was just a test. If he told Li Shimin but failed, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
The first batch of special cannonballs had been transported to the first city by the weapons workshop, and some of them were distributed by Luo Zhang, who wanted to try to see if this thing was useful.
If it is useful, then the creation of this special cannonball must be the first priority, much more important than the mithril sword and mithril arrows.
Time passed slowly, but this day made people feel like it was like a year.
Everyone wished that the undead knight would appear in front of them the next moment and be beaten up by them, instead of waiting here silently.
It's like waiting for the final verdict.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long. A day later, a black line appeared on the horizon, and its extended area exceeded Luo Zhang's imagination.
"Luo Zhang, this number is more than we imagined!" Old Poison also stood on the city wall, looking into the distance.
Judging from the visual estimate of the number of undead knights, there are at least about three million, and they only have only 700,000. The comparison between the two sides is really too great.
Although they have five cities to resist, no one can say how long they will last.
It all depends on what tactics the enemy uses. If they spread out and attack, Luo Zhang and the others will slowly wear out the undead knights.
If so many undead knights concentrate on besieging a city, then it is very simple. All the troops and horses will be evacuated from the underground secret passage and go to other cities.
If the enemy continues like this, and at most 700,000 soldiers gather together, I don't believe they can take it within a short period of time.
Once the attack fails, the first batch of 500,000 reinforcements and the following million reinforcements will be stationed in the city. He does not believe that the undead knights can destroy them.
However, everything will have to wait until the war begins. Everything is just talk on paper now.
Li Shimin in the palace was also restless. According to Luo Zhang's previous letter, the enemy would arrive in the next two days.
This battle is related to the fate of the country. You know, all the soldiers from the whole country have been transferred to Anxi. Do you think that after losing, the undead knights will not go all the way south to invade the Tang Dynasty?
The answer is of course yes! This is why Li Shimin is so anxious.
When a day later, the dense crowd of undead knights approached, they did not gather together to attack the first city. Instead, like a torrent of steel, they divided into five and surrounded the five cities, hoping to surround them.
, and captured the five cities together.
As long as the five cities of Anxi are captured, the road ahead will be unimpeded, and we can directly go south to launch an attack on Datang.
If I admit that I have lost, Longkodo will not go too far. After all, this trick has been used in the Food Country and the Alliance of Countries, and the effect is very good!
Seeing this scene, Luo Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. He was not focusing on one city. This was good news. Spreading the attack would only prevent the Undead Knight from taking advantage of it.
"Is this the undead knight? He really looks like a devil, and he still has black energy on his body!"
"Labour and management don't believe that we can't kill these things!" The second city where Cheng Yaojin was located was also surrounded at this moment.
He promised Luo Zhang before that he should be calm and don't be impulsive, but now that he saw the enemy, Cheng Yaojin felt like he had been given blood and wanted to lead his troops to rush forward and fight to the death with the undead knights! "General, you have to kill these undead knights.
