Chapter 1039: Shelling

For a while, the officers and soldiers on the Zinderen Fortress laughed.
They found that the magical cannons that had been blown away seemed to be of little use at all. Especially the range seemed to be unable to hit the city wall at all, and he was immediately bold.
The firing power of the Maple Leaf Danlin Magic Cannon was heard by the Almohad people, but the soldiers of the Almohad who bombed that time.
They thought that as soon as the magical cannon was bombarded, several large holes would have to be smashed into the city wall. When the peacekeeping troops fired the cannon just now, many people were already calling "Father God bless.
It turned out that Bai was worried.
They kept blowing whistles toward the city, yelling insults, pointing their middle fingers, and even standing on the head of the city, pulling their pants, and peeing at the city.
In various ways, they expressed their disdain to the old and the troops.
Those veterans of the peacekeeping force who had seen shelling looked at the southern soldiers with pitiful and contemptuous eyes.
In their eyes, the soldiers of the Southern Army in the city at this moment are like monkeys who don't know they are already dead, still chattering and provoking the hunters, which is very funny.
At this time, the artillery unhurriedly cleaned the barrel and filled the shells. After several officers gathered to discuss and study, the cannon adjusted its angle and fired again with a roar.
A few feet of hot flames spurted from the muzzle, and the flames were like gorgeous flowers, allowing all soldiers on the battlefield to see clearly.
The soldiers on Zinderen couldn't help but stop, then they pointed to the cannon, and they were about to laugh again.
But at this time, there was a scream of tearing air over their heads.
The sound was something they had never heard before. It was extremely weird. The sound was sharp and continuous, whizzing across their heads.
But in the direction where the sound came from, they saw everything.
Zinderen's officers and soldiers couldn't help but all turned white. Although they didn't know what it was, the human instinct was keenly aware of the terrible danger.
Everyone couldn't laugh anymore, and they looked up in the sky in a panic looking for the monster that made noise.
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from behind.
Everyone hurriedly turned around and looked around, only to see that a place in the city had already raised thick smoke.
If you look closely, you can also find that a lot of bricks, stones and wood are mixed with firelight, and they are falling from the sky, as if a meteor hit the place heavily.
After the shell exploded, the smoke came out with a very strange color, not black smoke, but a strange red color, with dense smoke, rising straight into the air.
That's because there is a city wall blocking it, and the artillery can't directly observe the impact of the shells, so the calibration shells are deliberately shot.
The measurement calibration can be easily carried out by the indication of the smoke.
The officers and soldiers on the front of the city fell silent.
They slowly turned their heads back, looking at the group of guns that were silently facing them on the opposite side, each of them pale and complex.
Although they had never seen cannons before, they were not fools. From the two shellings one after the other, they already knew that they were located within the shooting range of those magic guided cannons.
The two artillery pieces one after the other, it is obvious that the artillery of the peacekeeping force is adjusting the landing point. Once adjusted, the artillery shell will fall on their heads.
Moreover, what is annoying is that the enemy is far away, and the most powerful ballista in their hands can only reach half the range at most.
It is conceivable that the opponent will definitely use their range advantage to unbridled shelling.
Even if someone is willing to risk their lives as a death squad, out of the city to raid the enemy's magical guns, they will not be able to pass the guards in front of the artillery.
This kind of situation where you can't fight back and can only be beaten passively, is that everyone has to be suffocated to death~!
At this time, the cannon in the formation fired again.
Although he still hit in front of the city wall this time and didn't hit them, it was a lot closer than the last shell, and the mud crackled from the explosion hit the city wall.
Moreover, the smoke emitted after the bomb exploded this time was different from the previous two. It was a yellow color.
Immediately afterwards, the cannon was fired several times.
Those artillery shells were scattered on the front or back of the city wall. After they exploded, various colors appeared. The most terrifying thing is the distance from the city wall, the distance they stand closer and closer.
On several occasions, they could feel the oncoming wind when the shell exploded.
The gust of wind was not only scorching hot, but also smelled of pungent sulfur and gunpowder, making people feel like standing on the edge of hell.
There was a sudden commotion among the soldiers.
These guys haven't studied before and don't even know that this is actually caused by the explosion of the cannonball filled with medicine.
Instead, they flexibly used the tales of gods and monsters they had learned from the bards since they were young, made some dialectical thinking in their minds, and then found the correct answer in an instant.
The divine canon has a clear saying that a river burning with flames, ashes falling all over the sky and the smell of burning sulfur are the sights only in hell.
"That's...that's a weapon from the devil~!" I don't know who yelled. It spread throughout the city in an instant.
Everyone could not help but panic.
Although they are extremely ignorant, they are all extremely good soldiers, and they can even withstand the cruel and bloodiest hand-to-hand combat in the Cold Weapon Age, but they have an instinctive fear in the face of such weapons from the devil.
Thanks to the tireless propaganda of the Holy See, the people on the mainland have a consensus that the devil is not something that ordinary people can resist. Only the holy knight and the priests of the Holy See can kill the demons.
This ignorant fear has deepened in my heart.
They all turned around and were about to flee towards the city.
The officers next to him were rude immediately and started to take action.
"Brothers, brothers, don't be afraid."
"The enemy is not terrible. We have strong walls, so we are not afraid of attacks."
"Stick our chests up, General Hadu looks at you from behind."
"Think about our parents, think about our wives and children. Want our home..."
"For our honor, we must never let the enemy step into Zinderen."
"Fleeing the battle, kill without mercy~!"
"Soldier, I order you to return to your post~!"
"..."
Although these officers were also afraid of death, they kept yelling, punching and kicking the soldiers, using whips, boots, blades, and even blades to drive them back to the original place. Post.
As Petrius left, Mela took over the defense of the city of Zinderen. In order to control the army, he convicted all the original officers of being unreliable and exempted them from their duties.
Then he enriched the officers he brought into the army.
Although there is nothing wrong with doing this in normal times, the quality of southern army officers is still very good.
But it was wartime at this time.
It is a taboo for military strategists to change generals on the fly.
Because the time was too short, those officers could not establish their prestige among the soldiers.
Although they kept yelling, threatening or tempting, and never allowed the soldiers to retreat half a step, not many soldiers obeyed the command, and bumped around like headless flies.
Some soldiers want to escape, some soldiers want to come. Some soldiers are at a loss...
For a while, the city was chaotic.
But this chaos did not last long.
As they were busy in the city, they immediately felt their feet tremble, followed by a series of deafening noises.
The artillery in front of the array has completed the test firing and obtained an accurate design scale. More than a hundred artillery has been adjusted with coordinates, and then under the order of Julian Grand Duke, they fired at the same time~!
Under the strong impetus of the gunpowder, more than a hundred shells rushed out of the barrel, and the roar overwhelmed all the sounds. The shells slashed across the sky, screamed sharply, and slammed toward the head of Jindren.
From a distance, orange-red flowers bloomed in full bloom in the city and disappeared in a flash.
In the thunderous violent explosion, countless human bodies were mixed with gravel, like rag puppet dolls, thrown high into the air, and then fell like raindrops.
Thick billowing smoke rose into the sky, obscuring the sky.
For a time, the entire city was plunged into darkness.
Those who were fortunate enough not to die opened their eyes and saw the scenery around them, and they couldn't help being frightened.
At a glance, only a few people remained standing on the wall that was packed with soldiers.
The city walls that were clean and tidy just now are already full of gunpowder smoke and potholes.
Those huge boulders were broken apart by the explosion, and they became incomplete. The entire section of the city wall was bitten by a huge monster, missing a big piece.
All the familiar faces on his side disappeared, and there were stumps and arms everywhere, a mess.
A scene of hell.
At this time, before the remaining southern soldiers made any actions, another sharp whistling sound came from the sky.
The second wave of shells hit again.
Then it exploded again. The gunfire once again covered the entire section of the city wall. Large areas of the city wall began to crack and collapse, and rubble fell to the ground and rolled down the hillside.
The third wave, the fourth wave...
Wave after wave, like raindrops, the cannonballs smashed toward the city.
Boom boom boom boom...
That violent explosion sounded one after another, the roar of the cannon and the loud noise of the bomb explosion were mixed, the sound was continuous, and there was only a loud noise between the world and the earth, as if it would never stop.
Like the end of the world.
On the artillery position, those artillerymen had long red eyes.
Under the urging of Archduke Julian, they didn't care about the situation, they just loaded the shells mechanically, and then pulled the bolt to spread the deadly rain toward the distant city.
Due to the labor intensity, all of them were tired and sweated like rain.
For convenience and for the sake of coolness, many soldiers all screamed, tore off their clothes, and then continued to work hard, shirtless.
Seeing their energy, it seemed that they would have to wipe the entire Zinderen Fortress from the ground with a cannonball.
Behind them, the legions standing behind watching the battle were dumbfounded and frightened.
In the first battle of Prisca, Lorraine only brought his elite army, and even the new army was less than 100,000 people.
The old and the troops who were watching the battle now all followed the Grand Duke Julian's army slowly advancing, pacifying the bandits all the way to the south, and did not personally participate in the battle under Prisca.
Although many of them have heard of the situation at the time of the shelling, they only know that the Southern Army died in pieces under the artillery, but they have never experienced it firsthand.
Therefore, the soldiers who participated in Priska did not believe in the description of the shelling.
More often, I think it's just a way for those puppies to cheat themselves of drinking money. Things beyond common sense are hard to believe without seeing them in person.
At this time, watching the swaying shelling of the mountain, the buzzing explosion of the shaking ears, I had long looked silly eyes.
With the God of Light, there is such a way of war in the world?
Across the distance, a brass pillar was stuffed into the iron pipe, and then as soon as the rope was pulled, the enemy on the opposite side was blown to pieces.
What is the use of your martial arts?
In the past, everyone, in order to become a servant knight, a reserve knight, a canonized knight, a champion knight, and even a paladin, who is not a winter training three-nine, summer training, starting from the age of ten, start earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a thief , 30 days a month, more than ten hours of exercise every day, learning arts.
The great guys in their tens and twenties, at the time of Mensao, were desperately trying not to find a girlfriend and struggled hard.
Isn't it just to kill the other person when you pk with someone, so as not to be slaughtered by the other person.
But now it seems that this has a silly use~!
Only a cannon in his hand, even a fat baby, as long as he pulls a rope, he can easily turn over a lich.
What's the use of this martial arts? What's the use~!
The hard work in the past was all in vain.
Those generals were also silent. Before, they had listened to Lorraine saying that the method of warfare will change, and the future will be the war of the era of high technology and high investment.
But many people disagree, the way of war changes?
No matter how you change, you still have to go up and fight?
At this time, in the bombardment of the sky, in the violent dull, continuous explosions, their confidence was all blown to dust.
This way of war really needs to change~!
Lorraine looked at the generals around him with frustrated expressions, and couldn't help but smile inwardly: These puppies deserve it. I told you already. All are self-righteous. Even Sir Alex's words could not be heard.
You must be honest with Sir Alex Ferguson.
What a bunch of cheap bones of donkeys. Holding not walking, retreating...
At this moment, I suddenly heard a wave of cheers.
Lorraine couldn't help but startled, then raised the binoculars and looked into the distance.
I saw that above the high tower of Najindren City, the broken tiger battle flag was slowly falling down, covered with bullet holes and gun smoke.
Obviously some guy took a and interrupted the flag.
The banner is the soul of the army. It advances and retreats, all relying on its guidance and command. The flag then advances, and the flag falls and loses.
It seems that they are playing happily, and when they are about to win, suddenly the strong wind blows the battle flag, and as a result, defeats happen from time to time in history.
Now that the flag of the Southern Army has fallen, it also shows that the enemy has lost command.
The city wall had collapsed in large sections during the shelling, exposing several gaps, and there were no standing Southern soldiers in sight.
The legions on the battlefield knocked on the shields in their hands, shouting wildly.
For a time, the morale of Lao He's troops rose, like Guan Changhong.
Lorraine looked at it, knowing that the opportunity was indispensable, and immediately reached out.
Immediately afterwards, the horn of the army was sounded.
"Woo~~oo~~~"
The loud horn penetrated the roar of the cannon and spread far away.
Several legions behind the artillery formation received the order, and immediately began to move forward amidst the slogans of the officers.
Lorraine raised the telescope quietly and carefully observed their array.
Originally, he was worried that those soldiers would be scared by the roar of shells and would not dare to move forward.
As a result, I was very happy to find that the phalanx of the legions were only slightly flustered when they passed the artillery array, and then they were restored to order under the loud curses of the officers. Ignored the hissing sound of the shells above my head at all, and continued to move forward.
It seemed that there was no fear at all that those shells would fall and hit them on the head.
Later, he learned that the soldiers were too scared to hear the cannonball slashing over the top. If this thing missed a miss and fell on their heads, even the coffin would be saved.
But the officers calmly told them the price of each shell.
Let the puppies know that the cannonball is more valuable than their lives.
With the personality of Lord Luo Jue who plucked the feathers after plucking the geese, leaving the skin after the tigers, and the ants have to leave their thighs after passing, he is absolutely reluctant to waste expensive shells on them.
Therefore, everyone is extremely relieved. Even if he heard the shells flying by scratching his scalp, he was not afraid at all.
They drove until the distance of two hundred steps from the head of the city, only then had the opportunity to stop and observe the current appearance of the fortress up close.
I saw that the city wall had been blown to pieces, and it was completely invisible.
The head of the city seemed to have been cut down to a height of one or two meters, and there was not even a flat area. In front of the city wall, countless falling rocks have been piled up, forming a gentle slope. With that gentle slope, you can even climb to the top of the city without using a ladder.
Although the city wall has basically lost its function, but one cannonball still explodes endlessly on the city head.
Along with the flash of fire, every time you can see the bricks and tiles splashing around, and then raindrops generally fall, and after the smoke fades, a cracked gap is revealed.
Although they are still far away, with the sound of the earth-shattering explosion, UU read www.uukānshu. Com could clearly feel the tremor of the air around him, and the heat wave rushing toward him.
There was a and burnt smell in the heat wave, which made people vomit.
At this moment, I heard the sound of another horn in the distance.
The endless, rumble shelling suddenly stopped, and there was a sudden silence. It seems that the whole world has never been so quiet.
All of them held their breath and felt the silence in this world quietly.
At this time, a childish voice faintly came from the rear: "Brother, brothers, I have been begging you for a long time. You are masters, let me take a shot too, just one shot, just one shot... "
Everyone couldn't help but stagnate, and then burst out a burst of unexplained laughter.
Immediately, the officer in front of the formation pointed the sword in his hand forward and roared, "Siege~!"
Immediately afterwards, the tide of shouts resounded through the world~!
