After using the Master Carpenter Scroll, Jiao Wen had reached the level of a Master Carpenter. Moreover, Jiao Wen was an Expert Carpenter to begin with. According to the attributes of the scroll, Jiao Wen's mastery of the Master Carpenter Scroll had stabilized.
Reaching the level of a Master Carpenter meant that he had met the requirements to comprehend the legacy of Mohism. Jiao Wen had already grasped a portion of the deeper content of Mohism's legacy.
Meanwhile, the Sky-Shattering Cannons and Sky-Shattering Cannons on the three ships didn't necessarily require a Master Carpenter to operate them. It was just that there were a lot of them required.
After Jiao Wen had comprehended some of the essence of Mohism's legacy, the first things he tried out were these two machines. The other carpenters should have been able to create these two machines in theory as well. However, with Jiao Wen's participation, the entire process became much simpler.
Even though Jiao Wen didn't spend too much time on the process, his experience in the process gave the other carpenters plenty of hints. It was then that they were able to arm the three ships with the Sky-Shattering Cannons.
At the same time, these two machines weren't enough. In order to operate these two machines properly, they first needed golems of the corresponding grade. The process wasn't simple either, and it was with Jiao Wen's participation that they made progress.
For example, Yang Rui hadn't been able to obtain all of the blueprints for the Third and Fourth Grade golems used on the three ships. Jiao Wen had learned one of the blueprints from Mohism's legacy.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
Pu! Pu! Pu!
"Ahhh!"
Plop!
"… …"
The process of creating the Sky-Shattering Cannons and golems might be troublesome, but they were still very powerful. Li Yan's subordinates were stunned when a volley of divine arrows landed.
Li Yan, who was standing at the bow of the ship, had his abdomen pierced by two or three arm-thick Sky-Shattering Cannons. He screamed in agony as he fell into the water.
It wasn't just his body. Even the ship he was on was riddled with holes after being bombarded by a volley of Sky-Shattering Cannons. The hull and deck of the ship were filled with terrifying holes. Some parts of the ship near the waterline were even starting to fill with water!
It was obvious how terrifying these arrows were. When Yang Rui fought the golem beasts, the durability of the Castle in the Sky had dropped rapidly, let alone ordinary small and medium-sized ships.
The medium-sized ship at the front was severely damaged, and so were the ships around it. Two of Li Yan's smaller ships were already on the verge of sinking. The other ships that were with them with the Sky-Shattering Cannons were suffering with the Sky-Shattering Cannons, Sky-Shattering Cannons...
This was the result of the Divine Armament Heaven Blasting Cannon not being able to adjust its shooting angle to the correct position. Would's Sky-Shattering Sky-Shattering Cannons with the Sky-Shattering Cannons?!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
"Help" Sky-Shatter Sky-Shatter!
"Shatter"
"…"
With the Sky-Shattering Cannons killed and the surrounding ships severely damaged, Li Yan's Navy on the Wei River fell into chaos. Chaotic cries for help and the sound of water splashing were mixed together. The ships scattered like a swarm of bees.
Other than the downstream direction where Yang Rui's troops were, the ships of Li Jue's navy fled in all directions. Without a leader, the ships fled in all directions. There was no lack of friction and collisions between them, making it even more difficult to break through.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
"…"
Li Yan's Navy's more than 100 ships encountered Yang Rui's troops. With just one volley of arrows, they were completely defeated. At this time, Yang Rui's Navy's ships thundered with the Sky-Shattering Cannons at the front and the Sky-Shattering Cannons at the back.
The morale of Yang Rui and Taishi Ci's Navy was high. At this time, Li Yan's Navy had completely lost their ability to resist. Even if they wanted to resist, their warships and soldiers were far inferior. They could only be slaughtered.
A large number of ships on the Wei River were sunk. Countless Li Yan's troops fell into the water or were killed. Only a small number of ships that were on the periphery and escaped in time.
A few of them returned to the Sky-Shattering Cannons, while a few ran to the shore and abandoned their ships.
Less than an hour later, Li Jue and Yang Ruishui's troops could no longer see any ships in the area where they had originally fought. Only a sea of wrecked ships and broken oars were left floating on the water's surface, spreading downstream with the current.
After Yang Rui's Navy wiped out Li Yan's troops who were unable to escape, they seized dozens of ships and chased after Li Yan's fleeing troops. They chased after them all the way to the small city of Sky-Shattering Cannons.
Three quarters of the small city of Sky-Shattering Cannons were located in a bend of the Wei River. The city walls on the water's surface were all made of wood to ensure that there was enough buoyancy to support the city.
This was not the first time Yang Rui came to Sky-Shattering Cannons. Back then, when the heroes were asking for Dong Zhuo's help, Yang Rui had used the Flying Carpet to come here. He was very familiar with the city's situation.
However, although Sky-Shattering Cannons did not change much from when Dong Zhuo occupied it, the person occupying the city had long been replaced by Li Yan. Yang Rui could not help but feel that things were still the same, but people had changed. It was as if the situation had changed in the blink of an eye.
Of course, this was just Yang Rui's momentary feeling. In the game's setting, it was normal for boats and oars to be destroyed. Characters were bound to be left behind in the corners of the past. The only way to witness this change was to continuously become stronger.
At this moment, Yang Rui stood at the bow of the ship, feeling smug.
Due to the existence of the little Emperor Liu Xie, Sky-Shattering Cannons was not suitable for a forceful attack. If not, perhaps a round of flaming arrows would be enough to burn the wooden Sky-Shattering Cannons to ashes.
Moreover, Sky-Shattering Cannons was very suitable for Yang Rui to station his troops. If he could snatch it from Li Yan, it might be of some use in the future.
Sky-Shattering Cannons had three dock-like water gates. It was very suitable for stopping naval ships. If not for the fact that it was in Yongzhou's territory, Yang Rui would very much like to take it for his own use.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
Just as Yang Rui was thinking about how to attack Sky-Shattering Cannons, a general stood on one of the city walls facing the Wei River. Under his guidance, the defenders on the city walls rained down a rain of arrows.
