When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 334: The Deterrence of Krupp's Cannon

On the city wall, Zhang Lu and his men were all looking at the distance with curiosity on their faces.

In the distance, the coalition forces of all dynasties were slowly pushing out a row of strangely shaped objects that had never been seen before.

"What on earth are those things?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"It looks like a trebuchet, but not quite." Another man frowned and thought.

"It's definitely not a trebuchet. How can there be a trebuchet that looks like this?" someone nearby immediately retorted.

"Maybe it's some kind of device similar to a catapult." Someone else put forward his own guess.

"But even so, judging from the appearance, these things are obviously much smaller than catapults, so their power should not be much stronger." Someone curled his lips in disdain.

"That's right. Their armor was quite intimidating before, but look at the weapons they use. They can even use an ordinary stick as a weapon. Things like catapults are probably quite powerful in their eyes." Another person sneered.

For a moment, everyone on the city wall was talking about it, and their words were full of contempt and ridicule for what the Allied Forces of All Dynasties displayed.

"Hahahaha, is that all you can do? I was worried for nothing!"

Zhang Lu burst into laughter, and his tense heartstrings were completely relaxed.

When Zhang Lu first saw the armor of the allied forces of Wan Chao, he was really frightened.

Now, the stone in my heart has fallen to the ground.

"Yes, it is quite interesting to watch such a weird 'performance' before the war." A general beside him echoed.

"Sir, after we finish watching this farce, we might as well rush out of the city and snatch all the armor from those guys. Maybe with this batch of sophisticated equipment, we will also be able to participate in the battle for supremacy in the Central Plains." A counselor took the opportunity to speak up.

When Zhang Lu heard this, his heart was suddenly moved.

I thought to myself that an army of one hundred thousand meant a total of one hundred thousand complete sets of armor.

With these armors, he can recruit an army of 100,000 and train them into an elite force that is invincible and unstoppable. If he makes every soldier wear heavy armor, then who in the world can stop him?
Even the mighty Cao Cao would be eclipsed by such a powerful military force.

At the same time, the coalition forces of all dynasties were ready.

Zhu Di, standing on a high place and looking into the distance, saw that the defenders on the city wall all had expressions of disdain and ridicule on their faces.

He couldn't help but snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Humph, it seems that these guys have not realized the seriousness of the current situation at all."

Zhu Ming, who was standing by, smiled slightly when he heard this, and responded slowly: "After all, this place is not the territory of our Great Ming Dynasty. Weapons like cannons have not appeared here yet, so it is not surprising that they don't recognize them. If they can recognize this thing at a glance, it will be much more difficult."

Zhu Di frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked with a hint of doubt: "Even if they recognize it, it shouldn't cause too much impact, right?"

Zhu Ming shook his head slightly and explained, "That's not necessarily true.

If you think about it carefully, weapons like cannons should not belong to this era and it is impossible for them to appear at this moment.

However, the other party actually had some understanding and knowledge of it.

Could it be that they could predict the future?

Perhaps, a time traveler from another time and space came to this era and assisted the enemy army to grow stronger and stronger, greatly improving their technological level, thus allowing the other side to know about those cannons that should not exist here and now.

As a result, the outcome of this war becomes difficult to predict.

After all, time travelers often have some special abilities or so-called "golden fingers", and some of these abilities are as powerful as plug-ins.

If this is true, we currently have no idea what kind of magical powers the time traveler possesses.

If we are unlucky enough to encounter a person like Magneto who can manipulate magnetic fields at will, then the cannons we have spent a lot of effort to build will likely become deadly weapons in the hands of the enemy in an instant. With just his strength, he might be able to easily annihilate our entire army. If we encounter those people from the high-level martial arts world, I guess we will all have to die here."

After hearing this, Zhu Di was shocked. His face suddenly changed and he asked anxiously, "Who is this Magneto? Is he really that powerful and terrifying?"

"In the eyes of ordinary people, his strength is already quite impressive. If I were wearing a full set of armor, I might not be his opponent. But if I take off my armor and the environment is favorable, I should be able to defeat him."

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Ming in surprise. "Brother, besides possessing the time-travelling plug-in, you also have a magical plug-in that allows you to become stronger by taking off your clothes, right? Could it be that once you take off all your clothes, you can instantly kill a large number of enemies?"

Hearing this, Zhu Ming couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You're overthinking it. I don't have such a cheat. But it's not that I can't kill everyone in one second. It depends on whether the opponent is a man or a woman."

After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter.

Zhu Di often went to the afterlife.

On weekdays, he not only has a special liking for various war games, but is also obsessed with immersing himself in various wonderful novel worlds.

Zhu Di naturally knew the deep meaning behind the word "plug-in".

This magical thing is completely illogical and does not follow any established rules or laws, but it possesses jaw-droppingly powerful power. It is really terrifying!
At this moment, all the gunners looked solemn and focused, and were busy in an orderly manner. They were carrying out the final series of preparations necessary before firing.

Every movement seemed so skillful, precise and meticulous, as if these operations were deeply imprinted in their souls.

After some intense and orderly preparations, finally, all the preparations have been successfully completed.

Zhu Di shouted, "Aim at the southeast corner ahead and fire!"

"boom!"

Along with this earth-shaking roar, hundreds of majestic cannons roared in unison.

The series of deafening sounds seemed to tear the entire sky apart, and even the solid ground beneath the feet began to tremble in fear.

Hundreds of shells, shining like meteors, flew out of the thick gun barrel at lightning speed.

The shells drew graceful yet deadly arcs in the air, like ferocious fire dragons, rushing towards the southeast corner of the city wall ahead with great momentum.

Zhang Lu and others standing on the city wall couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten when they heard the sudden roar, and they all looked up at the sky.

When they saw the tiny black dots that were as dense as raindrops, they were shocked.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, they soon discovered that the black spots were not flying towards them, so the big stone hanging in their hearts finally fell and they breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Although this thing looks a bit strange, it looks like it should be something similar to a catapult." Someone touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Yes, that's true. It's quite impressive to have more than a hundred catapults attacking at the same time." Another person nodded in agreement. "However, if their target is us, the consequences will be disastrous! I'm afraid this round of bombing alone will cause us considerable losses." Thinking of this, Zhang Lu couldn't help but frown, with a trace of worry on his face.

"Yes, when the two armies really engage in battle, we must not be stupid enough to defend the city walls. After all, facing hundreds of catapult-like things that keep throwing catapults at us, no matter how strong the city walls are, they may not be able to withstand such fierce attacks." A general next to him said worriedly.

Just as everyone was talking about it, the shells had already hit the city wall in the southeast corner like meteorites.

In an instant, "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" huge explosions sounded one after another and resounded through the sky.

The originally indestructible city wall was instantly shattered and collapsed under the overwhelming force.

Thick smoke and flying dust rose into the sky, quickly covering everything around, making it impossible to see the scene in front of them.

Zhang Lu and others suddenly felt that the city wall under their feet began to tremble violently, as if the whole earth was shaking.

They all showed shock and astonishment on their faces, and were at a loss for a moment.

"This could definitely not have been caused by a catapult! How could a catapult have such tremendous power? This force far exceeds the impact that a catapult can produce!" someone shouted in horror.

"What kind of horrible weapon could that be? It could actually make a solid city wall so vulnerable in an instant!" Another person widened his eyes and muttered to himself in confusion.

"At that moment, I even thought it was a dragon turning over! The feeling of the earth shaking was really terrifying!" said an old man, patting his chest with lingering fear.

A light breeze blew by, and the smoke and dust gradually dissipated. When the vision became clear again, Zhang Lu and others couldn't help but gasp.

I saw that the southeast corner of the city wall had been completely unrecognizable. The originally tall and solid city wall had disappeared without a trace, leaving only some incomplete walls and broken bricks and stones scattered around.

The surrounding city walls also collapsed in large areas, forming piles of ruins.

Those parts of the city walls that have not yet collapsed are covered with dense, criss-crossing cracks, as if a huge spider web covered them.

At this time, the scenery in the city can be seen unobstructed from outside the city.

Even if you don't go through the city gate, you can easily drive straight through these collapsed and missing areas and enter the city directly.

"How could this happen?" someone screamed in disbelief, his voice filled with fear and shock.

"How could the city wall over there just disappear out of thin air? Is it a punishment from God?" someone else asked anxiously.

"What a joke! How can there be such a destructive power? It's simply like the disaster brought about by a dragon turning over!" Others kept shaking their heads and sighing, unable to accept what they saw.

"If the powerful attack just now was aimed at our location... the consequences would be disastrous!"

Thinking of this, everyone's faces turned paler and their hearts were filled with fear.

Zhang Lu stared at his men closely, he knew very well what they wanted to say.

If the target of the terrible attack just now was exactly where they were, then judging from the current miserable situation in the southeast corner of the city wall, he and his trusted aides would probably have been wiped out long ago!
Thinking of this, Zhang Lu's forced calmness disappeared in an instant, replaced by eyes full of fear.

Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead, soaking his clothes, and he seemed to have all his strength drained away, leaning limply against the city wall.

At this moment, Zhang Lu was completely at a loss, his mind was blank, and he couldn't think of what action to take next.

The power of Kluge's cannon was beyond Zhang Lu's imagination. He never expected that the other side actually possessed such a terrifying weapon.

If the enemy used this kind of weapon to carry out a round of bombardment on the entire city wall, Zhang Lu felt that it was possible for them to wipe out his side with zero casualties.

One of the men asked tremblingly, "Sir, what should we do now?"

As this question was raised, the surroundings suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Those who had previously been sneering at the enemy now all shut their mouths, with deep fear written all over their faces.

The powerful force, like a thunderbolt from heaven, made everyone feel helpless.

After a long while, Zhang Lu slowly came back to his senses. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his fear, then looked around and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Everyone, can anyone think of a way to fight against these weapons?"

Everyone shook their heads helplessly.

If I could really think of a solution to the problem, I would have proposed it long ago.

However, at this moment, faced with the difficult situation, everyone was helpless.

Even Yan Pu, the think tank who had high hopes, lowered his head.

There was a hint of deep disappointment in Zhang Lu's eyes that was difficult to conceal.

He frowned, thought for a moment, then turned around and shouted loudly to the messengers who had just negotiated with the other party.

"What exactly did the other party say just now? Tell me again carefully, word for word!" Zhang Lu's tone was serious and urgent.

When the messengers heard the order, they hurried forward.

At this time, their faces were still a little pale, and it was obvious that they had not fully recovered from the shock of witnessing the power of the cannon just now.

After a brief silence and adjusting his emotions, one of the messengers took a deep breath and began to tremblingly recount every word Zhu Di said.

I didn’t understand it before.

It's clear now.

The so-called performance is naked intimidation.

The other party showed his huge fist like a sandbag without any concealment, and made his attitude clear: either do as he asked and make him satisfied; otherwise, you will have to taste the power of his iron fist.

As the messengers repeated Zhu Di's words word for word, the scene fell into dead silence.

Li Guang rode his war horse to the city gate.

He shouted loudly with a megaphone in hand.

"I am Li Guang, the Flying General of the Han Dynasty. I believe you have also seen the power of the cannons, which is simply beyond your ability to resist. Now put down your weapons and leave the city immediately. We are all Han people. We are here only to help the Han Dynasty rebuild its country. You are not betraying the Han Dynasty, so don't feel any psychological burden!"

Zhang Lu thought for a moment, sighed, and shouted to everyone: "Everyone lay down your weapons and follow me out of the city!" (End of this chapter)
