Chapter 478: Siege (II)
The artillery unit of the Duchy of Baptiste divided thousands of guns into nine artillery clusters and fired in turns.
Each cluster has three positions, and after one round of shelling, positions are immediately shifted and the next cluster launches shelling.
The shelling was so continuous that the batteries in the city could not wait for the enemy's fire to intermittent, and had to brave the artillery fire to fire at them. Baptiste's artillery commander had been waiting for the opponent to return fire, and once there was a gun position to return fire, the other artillery clusters that had been concealed long ago could accurately aim at the location of the battery and immediately remove it.
The artillery fire lasted for ten minutes, and many buildings in the city were hit by shells, but fortunately, the Kingdom of Light is mountainous and sandy, and the buildings also like to be built with solid stone walls and cemented with clay mortar, so it is difficult for ordinary shells to destroy houses. It is still in the fire testing stage, and the Baptiste artillery has not yet used the powerful incendiary shells in siege warfare, but they have all been put into gun positions, ready to be used against the artillery of the Kingdom of Light hidden in the turret.
In command of the artillery fire was none other than Viscount Ginola, the only son whose son had been killed by Jacques.
Unfortunately, he never found Jacques, but heard that he had fled to the city of Ryo in the New World. He also sent people to chase and kill, but found nothing.
I don't know how Robert revealed the news from his mentor Brobie to him in the first place, so that Ginola focused all his hatred on Jacques, and he didn't go to Viscount Bernand's house to trouble, and he and Fabian's eldest brother David worked together for a long time.
Over the years, the name Jacques has almost become his obsession.
But he had no idea that just a few years earlier, his master, Robert, had met Jacques in Port Moussei, and that Jacques had facilitated trade cooperation with the then South Carolina Federation on behalf of the Kingdom of Light.
Ginola didn't expect that the person he had in mind was now within a few miles of him, constantly opening spatial rifts in hidden locations and sending out groups of daredevils.
At this time, the artillery position on the mountain finally couldn't help but start a counterattack, and when Ginola saw this, he immediately ordered all firepower to return fire except for the moving artillery group to suppress the opponent's arrogance.
At the same time, a signal flare rose into the air in the position of the Western Sahara army, and although it was not clear during the day, the neighing and the ball of light that dragged the white tail into the air still pointed out to everyone where the signal flare was in the air.
Then the explosions began to sound continuously in the position, almost everywhere, blooming everywhere, and immediately after the explosion, flames were set out, which were extremely difficult to extinguish.
Half a minute later, the first big explosion took place, and the site of the explosion was at the ammunition depot in the middle of the three gun emplacements of a certain artillery group. Originally, this was a good design to avoid delaying the fighter by diverting the ammunition with the artillery, but the disadvantage was that the ammunition was too concentrated and lacked protection.
No one would have thought that someone would sneak in so easily and sabotage it.
One was not enough, four more ammunition depots exploded in succession, destroying more than half of the artillery fire.
As for the barracks, it was even more chaotic, the explosion of the ammunition depot made the infantry who had not had time to rush to the front line begin to panic, they could not distinguish which ones were caused by the opponent's artillery, and which ones could only be produced by detonating the ammunition depot.
Most people think that the cannon fire of the Bright God Kingdom is extremely powerful, and it has a super cannon that blows up and shakes the ground after landing.
The hands of the muskets began to tremble.
Although the death squads were all disguised and looked to be dressed in the same way as the most numerous model soldiers in the coalition, there were always some unlucky or overly desperate people who were caught or killed at the scene of the arson.
There are also those who die with the target, and most of them blow up the ammunition depot, and it is really too late to evacuate. 020 reading
Even so, within ten minutes of Jacques sending out the flare, twelve daredevils returned to Jacques' camp and found the spatial rift door hidden in the tent.
Most of the Sergeants of Cesara who followed the trail of the flare to check on the situation were dealt with by Jacques and Lily.
The grandmasters of the coalition army, most of them are facing each other on the front line at this time, ready to rush into the city at any time, and at the same time, they are also luring the god of light, who may still survive, to come out and fight, and then they can use the formation to control him, and then the grandmasters rush up......
Therefore, the rear was relatively empty at this time, and the first grandmaster who flew to check the situation was killed by Jacques while he was still in the air. After that, no grandmaster came.
Before the large force of the follow-up search for the infiltrators could assemble, the entrance to the dimensional space was closed, and more than a dozen people left the chaotic camp of the Western Sahara Army without realizing it.
The surprise attack and confusion did delay the offensive momentum of the Western Saharana, at least the artillery unit suffered heavy losses, and due to insufficient fire suppression, it turned out to be a continuous fire from the Rojol side, driving the artillery units of the Duchy of Baptiste everywhere.
Here Jacques came out of the camp with twelve men, he didn't care about the others, although they were all ordered to follow Jacques, but if they were to act with them, not only was the target big, but also slow.
The two sides had to go their separate ways, Jacques and Lily rode on their summoned horses and hurried, and the twelve had to walk to the town in the south.
The twelve of them walked through the woodland by the roadside, over the mountains and mountains, in fact, it was safer than Jacques and Lily, and the Saxon cavalry roaming around, most of them patrolled the mainland, and they were all respectful of the forest area.
No, the two on horseback soon encountered interception, and after breaking through, they began to be pursued.
Here Jacques ran wildly, trying to get in touch with Fat Orange.
The Shire Emperor, who was commanding the battle on the other side, finally made the right decision to launch a full-scale attack immediately.
Now, the Western Sahara coalition forces occupy an absolute superiority in strength, so why bother.
The infantry column began to attack the city, and the hidden artillery and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Light could not wait, so they had to lift the shield of the bunker and fire back. Or use a long-range rifle to kill the opponent's specially dressed commander.
However, at this time, the Western Sahara army also discovered the shortcomings of the Royol garrison, and the firepower was indeed insufficient, but it was suppressed with artillery for a while at the beginning, and then many gun emplacements began to be dumb, and the shells ran out!
Musket bullets are consumed faster, and some shooters run out of ammunition quickly, so they can just watch and feel their knives, and then they can only fight hand-to-hand.
The infantry marched horizontally to the city, and the grandmasters could not wait, launched a general attack, flew into the city from many directions, and began to slaughter in all directions.
At this time, Bai Ye had to make a move.
However, as soon as she appeared, the nearby grandmasters began to retreat outside the city walls, luring Bai Ye to chase her out.
And how could Bai Ye not see through it, he didn't chase out of the city wall at all, and only moved within his own city wall.
I hope that Jacques will contact Fat Orange as soon as possible, and when he comes, she will be able to let go of her hands and kill him!
