Chapter 83 Fire the cannons and blast your courage!

"Salma, should we order someone to prepare wooden ladders first? This humble general is willing to personally lead soldiers to scale the ladders and seize the city!" Moturi dismounted and respectfully approached Li Wei, who shook his head and said no.

Just kidding. With the Blackstone catapult already available, why would he still use such an old-fashioned siege tactic as climbing ladders? He must be out of his mind.

He ordered the soldiers to wait in place, and then commanded the craftsmen to begin assembling the Blackstone catapult.

Motuli, standing to the side, was a little confused. How could they attack a city without building siege ladders? But he didn't ask any further questions.

Soon, the craftsmen had assembled half of the Black Stone Catapult, and it would be completed in about ten minutes.

It was at this moment that Humuhe asked his father, Andali, for permission to personally lead 500 soldiers to the city wall to defend the city.

Yes, Andalusian didn't even come in person because he thought it was impossible for Livy to breach the city.

The troop strength of Muwei City is slightly larger than that of Tuli Town, about 650.

"Haha, this Li Wei really is a good-for-nothing. He didn't even build siege ladders for the siege. What, is he planning to besiege us and wait for us to run out of food?"

When Humuhe climbed the city wall, he saw that Li Wei's side had not made any move to build ladders, and he immediately looked down on Li Wei even more, thinking that this man was a complete fool.

They want to surround him?

Don't you know that the food reserves in Muwei City are enough for a whole year?

The nobleman's son, Tomo, who called himself a strategist, took out a fan and said with a nonchalant smile, "Li Wei is indeed ignorant of military affairs. Anyone who knows a little about military strategy would not do what he did, attacking Muwei City after occupying Tuli Town for only a few days. In that case, I can congratulate Brother Humuhe in advance on taking Tuli Town."

Hu Muhe burst into laughter after hearing this. Soon he would be the lord of one town, no, two towns.

Once his plan is implemented, and his father dies, both Tuli Town and Muwei City will become his.

By then, he will truly be one of the Three Tigers of the Nine Towns, and he can contend for the title of the ruler of the Nine Towns!

"Fire arrows!" Hu Muhe waved his hand, ordering the soldiers on the city wall to fire arrows to harass Li Wei's side.

Arrows slanted down from the city wall.

The arrow caused some trouble for Li Wei's soldiers, and one of them was even shot dead. This made Hu Muhe laugh even harder, and he pointed triumphantly at Li Wei below the city wall.

"Li Wei, you only managed to capture that incompetent Sakje and obtain Tuli Town by sheer luck. Today, you actually dared to attack Muwei City! I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"

Hu Muhe was incredibly arrogant and smug at this moment. "You, Li Weixin, the Three Tigers?"

They still got humiliated by me.

He will defend Muwei City for a month, then launch a counterattack and defeat Li Wei, so that everyone in Jiuzhen will know that he, Humuhe, is the true young hero of Jiuzhen!

It was at this moment that the three Black Stone catapults were fully assembled, as seen from the sky.

Behind Li Wei's 500 soldiers, three catapults resembling black behemoths stood, especially the notch at the very top of the catapult arm, which was carved into the shape of a Capricorn's spitting mouth, giving it a majestic and terrifying feel.

"Those are—" The soldiers on the city wall discussed the three catapults.

"So that's why he didn't build siege ladders. He wanted to attack the city with catapults. But that's ridiculous. Does he think he has Black Stone catapults? Ordinary catapults can't do any damage to Muwei City!" Hu Muhe sneered. Tuomo next to him nodded. Upon closer inspection, he thought that the three catapults did look like Black Stone catapults, but he knew they couldn't be real. They were most likely counterfeit.

The inferior imitation catapults, coupled with the fact that there were only three of them, would certainly not be able to breach Muwei City.

"Don't panic, everyone. Li Wei is utterly incompetent. He thinks he can break through the city with just three catapults. Just focus on defending the city." Hu Muhe even walked to the front of the city wall to boost morale.

Seeing their commander so brave, the soldiers cheered loudly, and suddenly felt that Li Wei's side had catapults, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

At that very moment, Li Wei coldly waved his hand!

"fire!"

The first stone to be launched was the Karmic Fire Stone Array catapult. The Capricorn Beast spat out a stone, and in mid-air, the Karmic Fire runes appeared on the stone.

With a loud bang, the stone, wreathed in fiery runes, crashed into the city wall, then burst into flames that filled the sky.

Instantly, a ring of flames several meters long spread across the city wall, and more than a dozen soldiers screamed in agony as they were burned by the flames.

Humuhe's face was calm on the city wall a moment ago, indicating to the soldiers not to panic, but the next moment he saw a circle of flames more than ten meters long spreading on the city wall.

He was dumbfounded, his mouth trembling. Was this a catapult?

How can it be so powerful, and even spread fire?

Are you throwing stones or fireballs?!

Before Hu Muhe could react, the second black stone machine launched a stone. This was a cursed stone array. The two stones were connected by chains and runes in space. When it hit the city wall, the chains broke with a bang, and the stone exploded like a landmine, instantly blasting a gap in the city wall!

To make matters worse, the explosive force of the landmine directly injured more than a dozen soldiers!

Everyone was stunned by this scene. Tom, the nobleman who called himself a strategist, stood there, fanning himself, swallowing hard with shock on his face.

"Oh no, Li Wei's catapult is malfunctioning!" Hu Muhe exclaimed, his face filled with terror. He looked up at the sky, and two more stones were thrown at him. The two stones crashed down, and the flaming stone and the chain stone exploded at the same time. More than a dozen soldiers were injured and burned.

The five hundred soldiers on the city wall were also in a panic; they had never seen anything like it before.

"Could this be a Black Stone catapult?" Hu Muhe was a little confused; otherwise, how could it be so powerful?

"Quickly, quickly, inform my father that Li Wei possesses an exceptionally powerful catapult. It's highly likely that Muwei City cannot be defended." Humuhe was still a bit stronger than Sakjie. Although panicked in this situation, he remained calm and sent someone to inform his father.

Soon, a soldier ran off to the city lord's mansion to report the news.

Just then, the stone shrouded in black mist crashed into the wall, and poisonous gas began to spread. Several soldiers came into contact with the black mist and immediately screamed in agony, covering their eyes, their skin turning bright red as if it were melting.

In reality, the three stones didn't cause that much damage; most of the five hundred people were still fine. But the effect was terrifying. The spreading flames and the pervasive black mist caused the five hundred soldiers on the city wall to lose their morale and look terrified.

"Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time. We only built three. If we had dozens, we could have bombarded them in a second and Muwei City would have fallen." Li Wei sighed from below the city.

Buhat laughed beside him, "Salma, three planes are enough. Look at the panicked look on these soldiers' faces on the city wall. I don't expect we'll be able to break through this city in a day or two."

"Alright, I'll host a banquet in Muwei City then, and we'll drink to our hearts' content." Li Wei laughed heartily. He did indeed feel an indescribable sense of ease; at this rate, they could breach the city in a day or two at most.

By then, you'll have the bronze fragments and the five-headed Naga bloodline.

Watching Li Wei and Buhat chatting and laughing, Moturi and the five hundred soldiers beside them were all shocked and incredulous. "Is this Salma's trump card for attacking Muvi City? How ridiculous that they thought Salma couldn't possibly take Muvi City."

Moturi stared in shock at the black stone catapult that was still being sprayed with stone, and looked at Li Wei with awe.

In the midst of laughter and conversation, they could capture Muwei City in just one or two days.

Moturi felt that no one had ever done this in the hundreds of years of history of the Nine Towns.

"And who exactly is this Salma of mine? This catapult with such power must be the real Black Stone Catapult, right?" Moturi was now completely convinced by Levi.
