Chapter 1505: Shelling

The translucent venom instantly shot fifteen feet away and hit the jackal's back neck.
The jackal felt a chill at the back of his neck, and his instinctive backhand touched a handful of oily venom. He looked in front of him, and an indescribable bitter breath came to his nose.
If the skin is contaminated with venom, you can support it for two more minutes. However, this guy died himself, inhaled the poisonous gas from the venom of a large demon snake, and suddenly felt dizzy, moaned and fell to the ground, and soon he turned purple. Mouth spit foam, heart paralysis and died.
Joan, carrying two large iron swords, walked past the deadly Jackal with a blank expression. He was about to go deep into the woods to search for other enemies. A sudden rumbling of gunfire came behind him.
Joan stopped and turned around, looking through the forest trees and looking at the west gate of the town.
"It's the sound of the magic crystal cannon!" Kandy's face dignified. "I heard that the Zhu Mengweier Corps specially deployed an artillery company, carrying eight 12-pound guns and more 6-pound guns. It seems that the enemy finally put These cannons were transported to the front."
"Sister Kandy, brother Joan, is the defensive position in the west of Zhenkou able to withstand the artillery bombardment?"
Ruby couldn't help worrying.
"If you only look at the lethality of the shells, even if the enemy has artillery, it is not so easy to break through our army's defense line," Kandy sighed and had to tell the truth. "However, the psychological deterrent caused by the artillery to our soldiers, I am afraid To exceed the actual killing, once the morale collapses, the position will not be able to hold."
Joan fully agrees with Conty's concerns. There may be shells falling at the top of the head at any time, and death is hovering around. For a long time under this huge mental pressure, it can really drive people crazy.
After thinking about it silently, Joan turned to Kandy and Ruby and said, "I'll leave it to you here. I'll go to the west side to see if I might be able to help."
"Brother Joan, I will go together too!" Ruby shouted without thinking.
Joan shook his head gently: "The situation here is also very serious. You can stay with Kandy and help her deal with the jackals. I will come back as soon as possible."
Ruby tried to persevere, but Kandy took her hand, winked, and signaled her not to be willful.
"Well, brother Joan, take care!" "Miss Ruby" grieved grievously.
"You also need to be more careful, if there is any abnormal situation, remember to cast a law and contact me in time."
After Joan's advice, he was still at ease and opened the "portable dimension hole", instructing the magic pilot to stay here to protect Kandy, Ruby, Gray, and Jamie, and then into the form of an eagle, spreading his wings and flying west of the town. side.
Joan flew up to the forest tip, overlooking the below, and found that the wolves of wolves were driven out by the forest giant insects, giant mosquitoes and poisonous pythons, and were exposed to the vision of the Asa hunting horse and the Delin town militia opposite.
Magni and Flint did not miss the opportunity and immediately ordered an attack.
Dense arrows and bullets penetrated the rain screen and shot into the gathering area of ​​the jackals. After a round of shooting, the forest edge fell a large body.
Joan sneered silently, according to this momentum, some of the jackals in the forest ate.
The Hawks fluttered their wings, and soon came to the west of Delin Town, another battlefield.
At the Zhenkou defensive position, a sentry tower was hit by a cannon with great luck, and half of the tower collapsed and injured several officers and soldiers nearby. The sentry on the tower had no time to escape, and fell from the air and died on the spot.
Joan saw the wounded soldiers on a stretcher, and the dead were covered with a white cloth, and he couldn't help but sting.
The sound of rumbling artillery awakened him. A thousand yards away, on the artillery position of the Sea Blue, two caliber field guns totaled no fewer than twenty, and a new round of bombing began.
The defenders on the side of Yalfheim faced the enemy's shelling, from officers to soldiers. They did not care about their manners. They either huddled in the trenches to hide or lay down in the mud puddles with their hands on their heads.
The cannonball hit the night sky like a shining meteor, and fell on the defending position, bursting out of the soaring soot, flames ignited around the crater, and nearby buildings and personnel would burn violently as long as they caught a spark stand up.
Unfortunately, the ignited officers and men were forced to roll on the spot, trying to extinguish the flames.
However, no matter the raindrops falling in the night sky or the muddy water, they could not immediately extinguish the flames on them.
Unless there are comrades nearby who take the huge risk of being shot or even shelled by the enemy, digging up the sand with a shovel to cover the person who is on fire, otherwise they will only be burned alive.
The miserable scene in front of him made Joan realize a very serious problem.
Originally, he and Kandy thought that the navy artillery fired conventional solid shells, which mainly played a role in destroying buildings and psychological intimidation in positional battles.
Speaking of killing personnel, the effect of solid shells in positional battles is far less pronounced than in field battles. Unless particularly unlucky, the defenders hiding behind the fortifications are rarely hit by such solid shots.
However, after witnessing the shelling scene with his own eyes, Joan found out that the Sea Blue's cannon was not loaded with solid bullets at all!
The shell exploded at the moment of landing, and the flame coverage was equivalent to 3 rings of "fireball". It can be seen that the shell is only made of iron, and the interior is filled with alchemy gunpowder. The two main components are "bursting stone" "And "flame glue", the former will explode violently at the moment of impact, the latter is flammable and difficult to extinguish, even if it can continue to burn on the surface of the water, the high temperature released can melt the steel in just a few minutes.
This horrible alchemy bomb poses a threat to the defense not only at the psychological level. Witnessing the comrades one by one being blown up and ignited, no matter how brave one can't help but feel the chill in his heart.
What made Delin Town Guards even more desperate was that they had no artillery force in their troops and could only endure the unscrupulous shelling of the enemy. They lay on the ground to pray for gods and blessing, but could not find any effective counterattack.
Qiao An spreads his wings in the night sky, and has a panoramic view of the situation on the battlefield. He feels the fear and helplessness of his own officers and soldiers. At the same time, he also stimulates a strong anger from the bottom of his heart. ", spread his wings to the artillery position of the Sea Blues.
Perhaps in order to guard against the surprise attack by the defenders of Delin Town, General Jumonville placed the artillery company on the east bank of the Delin River, a thousand yards away from the west gate of Delin Town, at the end of his position.
At this distance, the navy's cannon can hit the defensive position of Delin Town, but the Delin Town side has no weapons to effectively fight back at such a long distance, and can only be beaten in vain.
