boom!

Another section of the city wall collapsed suddenly and was shrouded in smoke.

This is already the fifth section of the collapsed city wall. Under the continuous bombardment of Winster’s army, even the strongest marble wall will be shaken. After every black shell is ejected, it flies in mid-air at high speed and hits the smooth surface heavily. Afterwards, a deep crater was left on the surface of the city wall. Around the crater, cracks also appeared. Although those small cracks were inconspicuous, once they became large, the solid city wall could become A pile of fragile ruins.

When the smoke and dust dissipated and it was determined that there was no danger, the intense repair work was carried out as a routine. Many unclothed slaves were forced to carry various building materials and tools to build a new "city wall" on the ruins of the city wall. This kind of "small city wall" actually doesn't have much effect. It can barely block the enemy for a while, which can be said to be better than nothing.

In the past, the Winsters would not continue shelling after the city wall collapsed, so the generals can safely and boldly carry out operations, but today, the situation is different. The shelling of the Winster army outside the city continues, with dark shells. Pouring over the heads of the generals, turning over those who smashed the poor slaves, a cannonball carrying a powerful force across the heads of the slaves, directly slashing the heads of a few unlucky slaves, the scarlet blood is like a fountain It sprayed more than two meters high, and then it was like a pouring rain, dyeing everything around it into a dazzling bright red.

After a round of shelling, the entire construction site immediately turned into a mess. The soldiers in charge of supervision retreated in horror, and had no time to consider the humble slaves in their eyes. The slaves lost their **** and fled in all directions. Of course they were. I dare not escape back into the city. I just want to continue living as a slave. Only by escaping outside the city can they have a chance to regain their freedom. However, the Winster Wall surrounding the city of Pross cut off them. It's possible to escape to life, because no matter which direction they fled from, only the deadly and precise arrows shot by Winster's archers greeted them.

The deafening sound of artillery reverberated in the sky above the land, covering up the sound from the ground. The vibration caused by the projectile hitting the building also echoed with the movement of the ground, almost mixed together. Under the ground less than a few meters from the ground, the Winster soldiers swung their shovel desperately to dig a straight tunnel. The dull cannons above their heads made them equally uneasy. Many people were also fantasizing while waving their shovel. If the cannonball just hits the top of their heads, will it smash a big hole and bury them all.

Of course, this illusion is purely unfounded, because they have a thick pavement on top of their heads. Even if the shell hits the top of their heads, it will only create a crater on the pavement and cannot cause the soldiers underneath. Any influence-except for violent shaking.

Speaking of which, this uncharacteristic continuous shelling was also to cover the soldiers who dug the tunnel under the city of Pross. In order to prevent the defenders from noticing the movement from the ground, Charles had to use this method, using the sound and sound of artillery shelling. The violent vibration caused by hitting the target is used to conceal the sound of the soldiers working underground. The continuous sound of the gun can conceal the sound of the shovel swinging and the coughing of the soldiers from time to time-although these sounds penetrate several meters of soil. Layer, when it reaches the ground, the sound is already very subtle.

I don’t know how long it took. When the shovel in the hands of the soldiers dug into a hard, unknown object, and there was a clanging metal, the corners of the soldiers’ mouths showed a smile. The hard object collapsed with a bang for a few consecutive times, and the smoke rose up with the sound, enveloping the soldiers, making them cough violently.

After a while, they rushed out of the smoke and dust and stepped into a pool of stinky water. The leading soldier squinted his eyes, smelling the stench in the air, and frowned. Then he spoke: "Let’s light it up. , So dark, we can't see anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers following him took out two flintstones from his arms. He clicked and cracked and tried to light the torch with the flint. However, when the sparks lit up and the torch was ignited, they only felt a sigh. The powerful force tore their bodies to pieces, and their minds plunged into an abyss-in the tunnel behind them, the soldiers who came to change shift heard a deafening explosion from the tunnel in front of them, and they hadn't waited for their reaction. Coming over, a strong shock wave with flames hit them along the tunnel, and within a few seconds, this group of soldiers was swallowed by the flames.

The soldiers near the entrance of the tunnel did not notice the tragedy inside. Some of them were on a whim and looked towards the tunnel. He only saw a wave of fire flying towards him quickly. He just wanted to scream, fire. The waves spewed out from the tunnel, instantly scorching his upper body, and the surrounding soldiers were also overturned by the strong air wave. Then, it seemed that they could not withstand the strong internal pressure, the tunnel collapsed, and the inside Everything is completely buried.

The biogas explosion in the sewer not only affected the Winster camp~lightnovelpub.net~ The surprisingly powerful explosion also blasted a large hole in the ground at the top of the bomb site. All surrounding buildings were blown up to the sky. Hundreds of people died. This unreasonable disaster.

That's right, it's no disaster. If the soldiers who were the first to enter the sewers had received modern chemistry education and had a bit of common sense, then they would definitely not light torches in the sewers filled with biogas. When the flames contact the biogas in the air, it will cause an unprecedented scale. Explosion, even if the expeditionary force's existing gunpowder is concentrated and detonated, this kind of explosion is unmatched.

Coincidentally, such a violent explosion was counted on the heads of the Winsters by the frightened generals. In their eyes, it was possible to cause such a terrifying explosion, except for the enemies who could summon "witchcraft" outside the city. , There will be no one else. If Charles knew, he would have screamed wrong, because even he didn’t know how the explosion was triggered, not to mention, because of this **** explosion, he lost 59 Germanic veterans. This loss has been since. After landing on the Osa Peninsula, there has never been.

However, there are still good effects. This sudden explosion also shattered the determination of most of the parliamentarians to continue to resist. They listened to the reports of the people underneath, and even many people even saw it exploded into pieces with their own eyes. The corpses were worried that they would suffer the same fate-so they finally decided to unite and call an emergency meeting to ask for peace with Winster's army.
