Chapter 421: How to siege a city without a siege ladder? Part 2(1/2)

boom!
In an instant, there was a sudden explosion in front of the city wall.
Wow!
Along with the explosion, one of the suspension bridge chains that had been jumped straight was immediately broken.
"Is this a missed shot?" Keelin, who was hiding in the arrow tower, was a little surprised when he saw this scene.
"No, Master Keeling, they are planning to use extraordinary archers to shoot off all the chains!" The vassals of the Carlo family immediately reacted and their expressions changed slightly.
He finally understood why the enemy yanked the suspension bridge, just to straighten the chain, making it easier for the extraordinary archer to break the chain of the suspension bridge.
"Garp, what should we do now?" Keelin was not stupid, and he immediately reacted after hearing this.
"Master Keelin, there is no way. Not to mention that the enemy now has a trebuchet to attack the city wall. If we dare to send long archers out of the tower, we will be shot to death by the opponent's extraordinary archers in the first time. We can add fighting spirit to the arrows.
A top shooter, this is definitely a unique marksman!" Garp explained.
However, seeing the anxious look on Kilin's face, he continued to comfort him: "But don't worry, Master Kilin, even if the suspension bridge is lowered by the enemy, they will definitely not be able to attack it without a siege ladder!"
"Moreover, our city gate is impenetrable and is covered with iron sheets. Even the crossbow arrows cannot penetrate it!"
After hearing this, Keelin finally felt relieved and his complexion returned to normal.
While the two people were talking in the tower above, Vivian had fired four arrows in a row, and the arrows accurately hit the suspension bridge chain.
Boom!
With a loud rumbling sound, smoke and dust suddenly filled the outside of the gate of Carlo Castle, and the five or six meter long suspension bridge lost the pull of the chain and crashed to the ground.
"I was really pulled down!" Looking at this scene, Ryan and others in the distance murmured.
Although relying on Vivian, an extraordinary shooter, Nalant was able to lower the suspension bridge, which also gave them a severe slap in the face who were originally dismissive.
"Although the suspension bridge has been pulled down, there is still the castle gate!"
"The castle gate is different from the suspension bridge. It is carefully built by craftsmen and covered with iron sheets. Even iron arrows may not be able to penetrate it, let alone pull it open!"
Unwilling to be slapped in the face, Ryan and others began to predict again. It was obvious that they were still unconvinced by Nalant.
However, Nalant was not in a hurry. He would definitely press the three people's faces to the ground and rub them today.
"Sir, the suspension bridge has been lowered, shall we start the next step?" Soon, Quik in front rode his war horse back to ask for instructions.
"Well, let's get started! Finish this castle quickly, we have to move on to the next castle!"
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving the order, Quick immediately dismounted and took out a clay pot from the carriage on the side.
This clay pot is not small, bigger than three watermelons.
There is only a small hole four to five centimeters in diameter above the bulging body.
After Quick took out the clay pot, he carefully took out a sack from the wooden box on the side, and then slowly filled the clay pot with the black powder in the sack.
When the pottery pot was almost filled with black powder, he placed a layer of linen cloth on top of the black powder, and then began to fill it with the yellow mud that had been prepared earlier.
Of course, before installing the yellow mud, Quick also placed a hollow thin iron pipe in the middle for the purpose of inserting the lead wire later.
That's right, the core step in Nalant's siege without ladders is black powder.
Although his black powder is very primitive, as long as the dosage is increased, it can still produce full power.
The best proof was when I was guarding the bridge on the river bank a few days ago.
Before this expedition, Narant's "paper talks" were all planned around black powder.
This clay pot can hold at least forty kilograms of black powder.
Of course, in order to facilitate the sealing of yellow mud, the actual amount of powder charge will be reduced.
However, in Nalant's view, this should be enough.
He only needs to blow a hole in the city gate to allow the guards to enter the castle, and does not need to blow down the city wall or gate.
As for whether such a small amount of black powder can really cause damage to the strong city wall gate?
Narant is quite confident about this.
According to the information on the past life Internet, the amount of powder fired by ancient muskets was basically about 12 grams.
Imagine that twelve grams of gunpowder can produce so much energy.
What if it were replaced by thirty or forty kilograms of gunpowder?
Forty pounds is equivalent to twenty kilograms, and each kilogram is 1000 grams!

Soon, Quaker finished filling the jar with yellow mud, and then carefully used a wooden stick to completely compact the mouth of the jar.
After everything was done, he took a five- to six-meter-long lead and inserted it into the thin iron pipe he had reserved earlier.
The hollow interior of this iron pipe fits the size of the lead exactly.
"Sir, my subordinates have completed the 'Wrath of Glory'! Do you want to go and place it immediately?" Quick wiped the sweat from his forehead and reported to Nalant.
No wonder he was so nervous. On the bridge that day, a grenade with a diameter of only ten centimeters could blow away the Bronze Knight and his armor. If the big thing in his hand exploded, he would probably not be able to find any of his scumbags.
"Go ahead, remember to light the ignition and run quickly!" Nalant was also a little frightened and quickly waved to Quick.
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, Quik carried the clay pot and headed towards the castle gate ahead.
"Your Excellency Nalant, what is the Wrath of Glory?"
When Quirk loaded the gunpowder, he hid from Lane and others, so the three of them didn't know what was inside.
However, when Quick reported, he and Nalant's fear of the clay pot was clearly visible to them.
They were curious as to why a small clay pot could make two people so afraid.
"The Wrath of Glory is the wrath of the God of Glory!" Nalant turned his head with a smile upon hearing this, and seeing the confused expressions of the three of them, he continued, "In layman's terms, it is the power of divine punishment of the God of Glory!
"
"I forgot to tell you one thing. In fact, I am the spokesperson of the God of Glory in the world. The God of Glory has bestowed a lot of His power on me. The clay pot contains the power of divine punishment of the God of Glory! I am ready
Use him to open the gate to Baron Carlo's castle!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ryan and others' faces darkened, feeling that Nalant took them as fools.
He immediately said angrily: "Your Excellency Nalant, although we are prisoners, our dignity as nobles cannot be trampled on!"
Not to mention the spokesperson of the God of Glory, how can the power of divine punishment be contained in a clay pot?
As long as their brains are not broken, Ryan and others think this is impossible.
"Sir Ryan, I didn't lie to you. You will know later!" Nalant smiled and was still not prepared to say anything. He would wait to see if the three of them wet their pants.
While they were talking, Quick had already arrived under the city gate with the clay pot in his arms.
The defenders above also saw him approaching the city wall with several barbarians, and they immediately became unable to sit still.
Several guards from Carlo Castle risked being hit by trebuchets and came to the wall, hoping to throw a few stones at Quick and others.
As a result, before they could show up, four or five of them were shot down by Vivian's precise arrows.
Suddenly, several guards were so frightened that they rolled around and ran back to the arrow tower. They could only hide in the arrow tower and fire cold arrows.
It's a pity that this cold arrow has no use against the barbarian's iron shield.
Under the protection of the iron shield, Quick placed the clay pot next to the gate, then pulled the lead and began to retreat.
When the fuse was straightened, Quick took out the fire starter and placed it on the fuse!
Bah ba ba ba!
The fuse was directly ignited, and the next moment Quick stood up suddenly, and then roared with a look of shock on his face: "It's lit! Run! Everyone run!"
"Run quickly!"
Immediately, both Quick and the barbarians beside him, as well as Vivian and others behind them, all ran towards more than 100 meters away.
"Garp, what is that clay pot? Are these people from the Agate Principality sick?" Shang Shang, who was hiding in the arrow tower, was originally worried that Quirk and others would start breaking down the door.
To be continued...
