A section of city wall that penetrates the ocean is less than two hundred meters away from the harbor. After using the best black gunpowder and cannon in the Qin Dynasty, its initial speed has reached three times the short-barrel cannon. When it hits the city wall, you will not be able to capture its trajectory in the air in this era.

Only a huge muffled groan with a broken sound rang near the city wall.

When Ma Lin held up the telescope and searched for the spot, he was full of expectations and searched for him for a long time.

This time the shooting test was good luck, because if the bullet point of the shell was located below the middle and bottom of the city wall, due to the huge mass of the stones on the city wall and the mutual force, it would be difficult for an external force to deform it from the middle and lower parts.

But it is much easier if it is the middle and upper part, and this time the bounce point happens to be at the top!

In the telescope, a huge rock had disappeared, and the place where it was supposed to be was filled with stone chips and white dust. When looking forward, the stone adjacent to it was obviously broken and moved forward for a short distance visible to the naked eye!

In other words, on the outermost side of this section of the city wall, there must be a huge rock that was pushed in the air by a large iron bomb or fell from the city wall!

Without Ma Lin's explanation, Feng Ce will personally evaluate the bombardment effect of this time, and then soon arrive at Ma Lin's side.

"General"

"explain"

"According to this evaluation, all 1,500 kilograms of artillery on the ship can be concentrated on one side, so that there will be eight heavy artillery on each side..."

"Are you not afraid of the ship falling over to the other side?"

"Of course not. Once the heavy artillery is moved to this side, the original artillery will be moved to the other side, and at the same time, the cargo stacking in the lower cargo warehouse is adjusted accordingly. Moreover, when the artillery on this side is fired, the subsequent setback force will cause the ship to overturn to the other side, just adjust it a little."

"Add to the effect of the boat bottom keel and a reaction force are enough to offset the overturning situation."

These "new" languages ​​were unaware of by Ma Lin in the past. Only soldiers who had studied in schools at all levels of the Great Qin State could use them freely. However, Ma Lin had been influenced by the Shattered Ye Army for twenty years and could hear them.

"If you want to completely defeat this section of the city wall, it seems that all bombardment must be done with 1,500 kilograms of cannons. General, my opinion is like this. Now I have only tried one shot, and two shots, three shots, and all the way to eight shots, and then the effect of each bombardment is evaluated."

"Then bombard it from top to bottom..."

“How long will it take?”

"General, today is definitely not going to happen. It's getting late. We still need to adjust the position of the artillery. This sect will be busy at least in the middle of the night, and it will take tomorrow morning as soon as possible. As for the bombardment effect, it will take until the specific bombardment to be determined."

"Well, it's harder for you tonight"

......

Derbint City, Governor's House.

Thirty-year-old Shaddick sat upright on the ground without saying a word. Although he looked calm, his eyelids were beating constantly, showing his inner tension.

Finally, after the Qin army rested for about half a year, a new round of attacks finally came, and this came to earth-shaking!

The Qin army had used land cannons to bombard the castle walls before, but they all had little effect and ended up leaving it alone. However, a new round of bombardment in the daytime was from the sea, and it was obvious that the enemy was firearms on the ship.

The sound was extremely low and thick, and the whistle could be heard several miles away, which made the entire castle very frightened.

As Governor Derbint, Shadick is praised by his cavalry, but his cavalry is not worth showing off in front of the Qin army.

He was a Ugus on the east coast of the Caspian Sea. He was robbed to the west coast when he was invaded by the Xhosa and acted as a slave. Because he was very brave since childhood, he was adopted by Brans as his adopted son and served as his personal guard for a long time. He also became his son-in-law, from a slave to one of the most numerous nobles in the Khan Palace.

Since the large number of Jews entered the Khanate, the Khanate implemented a tax-packing system, and so was Derbint. For Shadyk, every year, he only had to hand over the number of cattle, sheep, horses, gold and food approved by the Khanate Minister of Finance to the Khanate's treasury, and the rest were all his own.

With such financial resources, Shadick can pay for his own money to build a personal soldier who is completely dependent on him under the framework of the Khanate military system.

Shadick was a Ugus. At this time, most of the Ugus people were nomad north of the Aral Sea, west of the Caspian Sea, and east of the Caspian Sea. After Shadick became rich, a large number of Ugus "warriors" naturally came to surrender to him.

Therefore, among the 15,000 elite troops in the entire Derbint defense line, the direct troops who truly "belonged" to him were actually 1,500 heavy cavalry composed of the Ugus. They were able to pull large bows and wield heavy weapons. They were all the same. At this time, the plate chain armor that was quietly popular in Persia and Rome, and the Caucasian horses specially selected, were the real amulets of Shadyk.

Of course, he is Brans's son-in-law and the front-line governor. His other 10,000 troops are also the Khanate's regular elites. For the Khanate, the so-called elites also have a specific meaning:

Most of the officers above the centurion were specially trained by noble families in the Khanate and specialize in military professions, while the rest were recruited and led the military pay. They came from any profession other than slaves. The Khanate occupied the key areas between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, and were actually established by commerce, and about half of the treasury income was spent on these standing troops.

Shadick's face was full of flesh, his dark beard was messy, his eyes were deep, his eyebrows were thick, and his small triangular eyes were shining from time to time. When he was twelve, he had fought against a wolf pack of desert on the east coast of the Caspian Sea in the wild alone. His craftsmanship was obviously extremely skillful. When he was 18, he was alone in the Khanate.

In the war with the Cannibal, the elite cavalry he led had defeated the cavalry of Gazelvar, but the defeat of other troops caused the overall failure of the Xhosa people.

But it was that battle that made Brans favor him and then married his daughter to him. It was obvious that there was a reason why Shaddick was able to take the initiative to retreat in the battle between the Chechin people and Yu Wenjing.

It was not that he was afraid of Yu Wenjing, but that he was a little dissatisfied with the Cheqin people who had been coiling in his territory. Secondly, he knew the fighting power of the Cheqin people, and he was slightly stronger than them. However, the Cheqin people were easily defeated by the Qin army, and he would not have any greater changes when he went up. It would be better to withdraw his troops and rely on the fact that the Derbint line of defense confronted the Qin army.

When the lights first came up, the Governor's Mansion was peaceful - because the terrible bombardment stopped soon, which opened up the mood of civil and military officials who were invited to attend Shadick's youngest son's birthday party to drink and eat meat.

Like all the major forces at this time, although Brans gave up a considerable amount of power to the governors in various places, he still had a balanced strategy, that is, to let most of the governor's family live in Baicheng, such as Gechus, Gechus, the great chief of the Pechneg tribe, Dimo ​​of the Magyar tribe, Handechin of the Bulgar tribe, and Curtis, the governor of the Taurus Peninsula.

Since Curtis and Shadick are both Brans' son-in-law, Brans is actually not keeping his daughters and grandchildren away from him. As for Shakel and the governor of Astraborg, since they are both his sons, they naturally do not need to send hostages.

However, for Curtis and Shadick, since Brans did not explicitly prohibit them from marrying concubines and raising female slaves, they actually wanted to live away from White City.

Derbint and the Taurus Peninsula are their paradise.

This son is part of Shadick's huge illegitimate child group, but now it is the time when his mother is favored. On his third birthday, Shadick's subordinates naturally come to congratulate him.

Of course, it is also popular for people like Shadick to make money in the name of congratulations. Otherwise, the little tax he had to rely on was not enough to make him not only raise a private army, but also buy a lot of land and women.

Not long after, the people who came to congratulate gradually left, but Shadick was still eating and drinking alone.

At such a tense moment, I can still think of continuing to make money and maintaining a good appetite. It seems that Shadick is not an ordinary person either.

Behind him was a screen. Like all the superiors, Shadick also liked to put himself in a high and dull place, and let others be in a low place with bright lights. After everyone left, a person flashed out from behind the screen.

The man was hiding in a black robe, and his body was small. Because his head was also in the black robe, it made people unable to see his appearance.

After the man arrived, he sat opposite Shadick and started eating and drinking. Shadick immediately stopped eating and drinking, staring at him in a daze.

"That shot..."

This man spoke Turkic, but his tone was very strange. He looked not originally Turkic, and his voice was hoarse and sharp, and he didn't sound different from male or female.

"A single shot hit a huge rock weighing a thousand pounds to pieces, and pushed a huge rock next to it to the north by a step further. If this continues, the city wall will collapse within three days."

This is something Shadyk didn't know, because all his information came from this person - Jetra, a Slavic eunuch who managed his private affairs. In order not to make others bigger, he was very relieved to let people like him take charge of sensitive affairs like intelligence.

Of course, Jetera's sister is the mother who just held a third birthday party. Shaddick did this obviously to win over this person.

It is obvious that a white eunuch slave can be trusted by Shadick.

He was a Slav from the Bulgar Khanate. He was originally a slave to the Dachia people. During a battle between the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Bulgar Khanate, his whole family was captured to the North Caucasus, and the last family became slaves of Shadick.

"Then what?"

When this person was a slave to the Dacians, he was not a slave who simply relied on coolies to make a living, but a slave who managed slaves for the Dacian nobles. His family ran out of the Khan Palace in the Aval Khanate. As Alpad's slave, he naturally had a broad vision and good means and abilities.

"The Qin army will occupy that section of the city wall and then attack the castle along the city wall..."

"I can close the gate of the East Gate Tower and let it step on the city wall and let it do nothing."

"Silly speaking, people can even break down the thick city walls, are they afraid of the mere wooden gate?"

"That......"

"It's time to consider your funeral"

“…”

"Make up your mind, it will be too late if it is too late!"

Shadick continued to stare at him in a daze and suddenly asked, "Do you dare to be so presumptuous just because Derbint is in danger now?!"

Jetera was startled, and quickly knelt down, crawled at his feet, and then kissed his oily horse boots.

“Your advice is”

Shadick was unmoved.

"Of course, surrendering to the Qin Kingdom can at least preserve the current wealth."

But Shadick thought of other things, "Once I surrender, my wife and children in Baicheng will inevitably be implicated. In this way, his nephew will become popular. When is it time, I am still thinking about these things!"

So he touched Jetera's head and sighed: "Jeta, Jetera, it would be easy to deal with if things were as simple as you thought. Unfortunately, even if a person like me surrendered, he would not be valued in the Great Qin State. As for the land and wealth, I will not keep it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light flashed quickly, and then Jetera's head fell from his neck.

Shadick had an extra knife in his hand, a Uz steel knife about two feet long and thick snow-blade. He sucked the blood on it and murmured to himself: "As long as it is in Derbint, I am a great khan, king and emperor, whatever you say, no one dares to be rude in front of me, no one!"

In the last sentence, he roared viciously.

But after that, his eyes regained the usual self-confidence he used to fight against the great cannibals and Bulgarians.
