Under the continuous attacks of gunpowder weapons, these insects died in large numbers. Except for a sparse flying insect army and a few purple-gold war insects, the large army had no chance to even get close to the city wall!
Most of the flying insects were shot down by the trebuchet's shotguns, and those few war insects spent all their efforts to climb up the city, but they didn't escape Zhang Lang's massacre knife!
It’s not that the bugs are too weak, it’s that the gunpowder weapons are way ahead of this era!
Although gunpowder in the real world was invented thousands of years ago, the ancients could only rely on experience to figure out the formula for gunpowder. For a long time, the formula of gunpowder was not perfect. It took countless attempts and thousands of years of development to find the optimal ratio.
But now the gunpowder in Sunset Fortress is the theoretical optimal ratio deduced by Cheng Xue based on chemical equations. Although there is still an error, it is almost the same as the actual optimal ratio!
And this ratio was only discovered in modern times in the real world. It is much more powerful than the traditional earth-made gunpowder used in ancient times to make cannons, flying crows, and fire blunderbuss! Although it is not as good as the later yellow explosive TNT, it is indeed more than enough to deal with flesh-and-blood insect monsters!
To make a long story short, after nearly half an hour of dying one after another, the insect swarm seemed to have noticed something was wrong. All the insects suddenly turned around and retreated decisively, leaving only scorched earth and countless fragmented insect corpses outside the city wall...
"Oh oh oh!!!"
Looking at the retreating insect swarm, the soldiers cheered loudly. They succeeded. They really defeated the bugs and avenged their comrades!
Although soldiers were occasionally injured by improper operation of gunpowder weapons during the battle, this damage was negligible compared to the insects killed. This ratio of casualties between the enemy and ourselves was an unprecedented victory!
After a short celebration, the soldiers did not relax, and those guarding the city wall continued to stick to their posts and take turns to rest. Those who still had enough energy were devoted to the production of gunpowder weapons.
Later, the insects attacked twice more, and each time they were repulsed without reaching the base of the city wall. The attacks continued until the sun set. The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and survived another day!
On the third night, there was no need for everyone to stay up late like the previous day. After all, we had to fight during the day. No one could bear such continuous high-intensity work. The soldiers and craftsmen took turns to rest. Under the premise of ensuring enough sleep, they did not relax in the production of weapons.
The gap in the city wall has been further repaired and has become stronger, and there is basically no need for Zhang Lang to guard it.
As for the Samsaras, everyone was overjoyed after hearing the battle at the top of the city. They believed that they had found a way to pass the level. As long as they had gunpowder weapons, surviving six days would not be a problem!
Everyone relaxed, especially the newlyweds. They were bored and even made a deck of cards out of straw paper and played cards in hiding in the castle.
"It's much easier to kill bugs now, so don't hide in the castle all the time!"
Fang Tianhua looked at the newcomers who relaxed as soon as they were comfortable, and reminded:
"If you have time, go to the top of the city and operate the ballista or trebuchet. If you kill a few more bugs, you can earn a lot of points!"
Fang Tianhua's proposal was well-intentioned, but the newcomers were particularly resistant.
Having seen the killing scenes of insect monsters, they have developed an instinctive fear of those monsters. Even if they know that what the senior said is true, they are unwilling to risk leaving the castle again.
As for points, as long as you survive this time, you will have many opportunities to earn in the future. If you die this time, it will be all over!
However, they were happy to contribute some suggestions, join the craftsmen, and provide them with some fantastic ideas about gunpowder weapons. Of course, most of these ideas come from the fancy firecrackers set off during the New Year...
As the sun rises, the reincarnations usher in the fourth day of their mission.
On this day, everyone except Zhang Lang and a few senior people came to the city. The newcomers still lacked the courage and basically stayed in the castle.
"If I had known that it was so easy to score points, we should have controlled those trebuchets on the first day!"
Touching the cold crossbow, Liu Mofei had an idea:
"So now, I have killed a lot of bugs and earned a lot of points, right?"
"It's not that easy!" Fang Tianhua shook his head: "There are also methods for killing monsters. Sometimes, even if you kill the monster, you won't get points!"
"Why is this? Liu Mofei wondered.
"Let me give you an example!" Fang Tianhua explained: "If you are fighting with someone on the top of a cliff and accidentally knock off a stone, and the stone falls into the cliff of a hundred feet and kills a passing monster, then What’s up with this monster?”
"Uh..." Several people were stunned by Fang Tianhua's words.
"This is just a relatively simple example!"
Fang Tianhua continued:
"Every move we make may cause a butterfly effect, indirectly causing the death of many people or monsters. Not all of these heads will be counted on our heads. There is another situation where powerful weapons, such as pressing a nuclear bomb, are used button to cause the death of monsters in a city. Although you kill these monsters, you will not be awarded kill points."
Liu Mofei said dissatisfied: "Why is this? Then why should we exchange for those powerful weapons? We don't even get points for killing monsters!"
Fang Tianhua shook his head and said: "The weapons we have are not restricted, and according to my experience, the altar's judgment of whether to give points is not strictly based on the power of the weapon, but more based on reference. When killing, the reincarnator The difficulty of operation. Everyone presses the bomb button the same, but if you are flying a fighter jet, although the power is amazing, the operation difficulty is very high, so you can still get points!"
"I understand!" Shang Xue said: "Whether you can get kill points depends on how much help you get from the mission world when you kill this monster. The more help the mission world provides, the less likely it is that you will not be able to get the kill score. Scores, the more you work hard, the more likely you are to get scores!”
"Good summary!" Fang Tianhua nodded: "So, this bed crossbow needs to be aimed, and it has less lethality, so it should have points. As for the large trebuchet, the range has been adjusted, and you only need to cut the rope It can be launched, I guess the possibility of scoring is not high!"
Zhang Lang listened on the sidelines, and his heart moved slightly, and asked Xiang Xu: "Is there such a hidden rule?"
Xu replied: "Indeed... But basically, you don't have to worry. I will tell you when you have scores and when you don't have scores! Besides, your hands are more useful than anything else, so why do you need to use those things? "
