The pigmen possessed over a hundred of these bamboo cannons, which could launch explosives onto the walls of the city. Although they weren't as powerful as the shells from the Blue Star, the shrapnel was still formidable enough to wipe out the low-level goons around it.
The problem with Centipede City was a long-term one. Every so often, the pigmen would lay siege to the city, and supply issues persisted within the city.
Each time the pigmen deployed, they would muster up to a hundred thousand soldiers, while the garrison of Centipede City numbered around forty thousand. If it weren't for the city's fairly large population, it really wouldn't be able to hold out.
Ma Lin surveyed the surrounding terrain and felt that the city was difficult to defend, so he knew he had to come up with a good plan.
If possible, he hoped to have an inside man among the pigmen.
As for where to find such an informant, "The Book of Servants" provided the quest.
