Three Kingdoms: Fusion of Entries, Change of Destiny

Chapter 211 War is cruel, but this is far too cruel.

In three days, the craftsmen produced one hundred catapults, which were then lined up in a row three hundred paces away from Ji Ling's camp.

The stone projectile that was thrown earlier was used to test distance and direction.

Next to the catapult, there were already many stone projectiles piled up, the smallest of which weighed fifty or sixty pounds, and the largest probably weighed one hundred and sixty or seventy pounds.

While Ji Ling's soldiers were still studying the stone, trying to figure out where it had come from,
Another large, strangely shaped, and ferocious-looking rock, weighing over a hundred pounds, flew over the stockade wall and headed straight for the watchtower!
With a deafening roar, the watchtower was smashed in half, producing a tremendous sound.

After the stone bullet smashed the watchtower, it still had strong kinetic energy and continued flying towards the camp.

As the stone landed, it struck a soldier who was patrolling the camp precisely.

In an instant, hundreds of Ji Ling soldiers in the camp who had witnessed this scene, including the messenger who had just stepped out of the central command tent, stood frozen in place as if they had been frozen in place.

After the stone hit the ground, it rolled forward several meters before stopping.

After the stone pelted away, the soldiers watching were horrified to discover that the upper body of the soldier who had been hit had completely disappeared.

Behind him, the ground was covered in red, white, and yellow stains...

The soldiers who witnessed this horrific scene remained silent for a moment.

Soon after, sounds of vomiting rose and fell among them.
"Ugh!" "Ugh!!!"

The scene was so intense that they could no longer suppress the churning in their stomachs and began to bend over and vomit.

They hadn't been eating much these past two days, so their vomiting was just some acidic fluid.

Although the falling stone only killed one person, the horrific sight of his death left an indelible shadow on the hearts of the surrounding soldiers.

The first two stone projectiles were just test shots; the real test would come when the hundred catapults would unleash their full power!

The soldiers shouted commands as they spun the winch to its maximum.

"Fire!!!" With Cao Ang's command,
"call out!"

"Huh! Huh!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."

One hundred stone projectiles whistled from Cao Cao's army positions toward Ji Ling's camp.

The whooshing sounds from the sky and the growing black dot finally woke the soldiers who were still vomiting.

Stones fell into the camp.

The thunderous crashing of the weapons mingled with the screams and cries of the soldiers, immediately causing a considerable commotion within Ji Ling's camp.

Countless soldiers in Ji Ling's army fled in panic, desperately trying to avoid the stones falling from the sky.

During the third round of launching...
A large, angular rock, too heavy, was not launched high enough.

As a result, it crashed directly into the wooden wall of Ji Lingjun's camp.

Two loud crashes, "boom" and "crack," came from the stockade wall.
The wooden walls of the camp, made of round logs about the size of a bowl, instantly shattered into pieces, with debris flying everywhere and broken logs scattered haphazardly across the ground.

Two soldiers happened to be hiding behind the wooden wall. The moment the stone hit the wall, they were torn to pieces along with the wall by the enormous impact, and died without a complete corpse.

Cao Yan stood on the command platform, looking at the enemy camp, and shook his head slightly, saying, "How tragic! But the effect of that rock hitting the camp was quite good."

As Cao Yan spoke, he silently changed the entry to "Eagle Eye (Purple)".

Then, he turned to the messenger behind him and ordered, "Have the catapults lower their angle and fire two more rounds. I want to smash Ji Ling's camp walls to smithereens!"

"Yes, sir!" The messenger, having received the order, jogged off to convey Cao Yan's command to Cao Ang.

Cao Cao, who was also standing on the command platform, couldn't help but ask in confusion, "From such a distance, how can you see the situation in the enemy camp?" "Isn't having eyes enough?" Cao Yan asked back, feigning confusion.

"?" Cao Cao was momentarily stunned. "Is it really enough to just have eyes? Am I the only one who can't do it?"

"You little rascal, how dare you play tricks on your older brother!" Cao Cao, realizing what had happened, pointed at Cao Yan and laughed as he scolded him.

At this moment, the catapult, after a brief adjustment, roared menacingly once again!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

This round of attacks was very effective, with nearly half of the stones hitting the wooden wall!
The wooden walls of Ji Ling's western camp were completely destroyed in an instant!

The Flying Dragon Cavalry soldiers closest to Ji Ling's camp couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"What terrifying destructive power!"

"Even the heavy armor of the Trapped Camp wouldn't be able to withstand this thing, would it?!"

"Luckily, we were light cavalry, we can run fast..."

"General Hou looks so gentle and kind, how come the things he invents are so terrifyingly lethal?"

"Luckily, we're on the same side..."

"..."

Xiahou Lan stared dumbfounded at the wooden walls of Ji Ling's camp, which had been torn apart by countless stone projectiles. He couldn't help but think to himself, "What should Ji Ling do next? I'm afraid he can only charge out of the camp and fight to the death!"

"kill!"

"Kill out!"

The moment Xiahou Lan had this thought, a battle cry rang out from Ji Ling's camp.

At this moment, the catapult behind Cao Ang was still in operation.

More than two hundred soldiers, their chests and backs exposed, were working hard to turn the huge winch.

The counterweights of the catapults slowly rose, and after a few minutes of adjustment, the messenger commanded the soldiers to raise their longswords high and then bring them down fiercely!
With a series of loud thuds, the hundred catapults in Cao Cao's army roared once more, sending huge stone projectiles flying into the air.

This time, their target was no longer the main camp, but the secret Ji Ling soldiers who rushed out from the main camp!
Dozens of stone projectiles traced beautiful arcs in the air before landing precisely on the army that Ji Ling had assembled and was charging out of the camp.

The stones landed in the crowd, and screams of agony rang out in an instant.

Where the stone bullets rolled, the ground was littered with severed limbs and mangled flesh, a bloody mess!
Although so far,
The number of Ji Ling's soldiers killed or wounded directly or indirectly by the catapults was probably only a few hundred.

However, the horrific state of their deaths caused immense psychological stress for the other soldiers.

For these soldiers who have risked their lives, death is not terrible, but they cannot die in such a horrific way!

Look at those people who got hit; their flesh was completely mixed with mud and dirt, you couldn't even pry it off! It's terrifying!!
Several soldiers who narrowly escaped the stone projectiles suddenly felt a chill in their groin.

It turned out that in the instant the stone bullet flew by, the extreme fear caused them to unconsciously wet their pants.

The immense psychological pressure caused fear to spread like a plague among Ji Lingjun's troops.

"I'm not fighting anymore! I'm not fighting anymore!!!" A soldier suddenly threw down his weapon and turned to run away.

"This is terrible! I don't want to die such a miserable death!" someone cried out as they collapsed to the ground.

"Hehehe... Hahaha..." Some people had blank stares, first letting out eerie laughter, then completely losing their minds, picking up weapons and stabbing wildly at the people around them.
