Chapter 494: One shot can't hit the head
The fire of the coalition advance base suddenly became fierce, and the city was filled with sparks and smoke.
However, apart from creating a large number of sparks and smoke, this round of attacks by the coalition forces basically did not produce any results. Of the defenders of the city, only a few were wounded. It's all minor injuries that don't need to be in the line of fire.
There are six sharply-angled hollow enemy platforms in the walls of the castle, and the musketeers are all hiding in the hollow enemy platforms, shooting outward from the shooting holes. Crossbowmen also had fortifications such as battlements and arrow shelters. The artillery batteries on the enemy platform are also fully enclosed, and the defense is quite thorough.
The head of the city is well-defended, and it is difficult to hit it. In addition, the advance base of the coalition forces is at the bottom of the hillside of 200 meters, and you have to look up at the high city. Being able to shoot bows, crossbows, arrows, and musket bullets at the head of the city is already considered to be well-armed and well-trained, and if you want to hit accurately, it basically depends on luck.
Standing on the top of the enemy platform, except for the row of battlements in front, the little dragon girl who has no shelter attracts some firepower. Piles of lead, bows, crossbows and arrows rushed towards her. There were even egg-sized shells fired from several small cannons.
In the face of this rainstorm-like fire, the little dragon girl was unmoved.
She stood on the enemy platform with her hands on the battlements, intently observing the advancing base below. Let the lead and arrows screech past her. Even if there was lead flying against her cheek, she didn't move. Only a few bullets that were lucky enough to hit and flew towards her face were blocked by her hand.
She crumpled a few grains of lead, looked at the coalition advance base that was shrouded in a cloud of gunsmoke, and said, "The enemy is storming the city." β
"Oh?" Song Qiqi came to Xiaolongnu's side, grabbed the battlements with both hands, poked her head out, and said with great interest: "After grinding for more than two hours, are you finally going to start to send you to death on a large scale?" β
"Don't poke your head out." Xiaolongnu pulled Song Qiqi back, "It's dangerous to do this, do you want to be headshot by the enemy?" β
Song Qiqi stuck out her tongue and said, "Although I am not as powerful as my cousin, the bullets of the flintlock musket and the ordinary bow and crossbow can't hurt me!" β
"Don't be careless." Xiaolongnu said: "Who knows how many masters are hidden in that advance base?" What if any marksman gives you an arrow? Besides, Earth II also has sniper rifles, and if you get shot in the head, do you think you can be safe? β
Earth II has a special sniper rifle that combines spirit weapon technology with musket technology. When Li Qing and the others first crossed over Earth No. 2, Long Linghan had used that sniper rifle to blow the head of an Amaterasu gunner on the battlefield of the battle with the Amaterasu Task Force.
Now the little dragon girl inherited from Long Linghan's storage bag, there are two sniper rifles of that kind lying down. Although with her strength, she basically didn't need the kind of gun that could only fight soldiers below level ten, but she had this kind of weapon, and the Holy Light Alliance might not have it.
That kind of gun has a long range, accurate shooting, and is very powerful. Fighters of the tenth or so level were seriously injured when they were shot. If it is a level 10 warrior who is more agile than a physical specialty, he may even be killed by a single shot.
Song Qiqi's spiritual energy is strong, but her physique is only ordinary Cheng DΓΉ. Although she was on the battlefield at this time, she had instinctively used her spiritual energy to protect her body, but this kind of instinctive protection was not as strong as condensing spiritual energy after all.
If she concentrates and condenses her spiritual energy, the cannonballs can be easily blocked. But in this state, after a sniper, the instinctive psionic armor is likely to be shattered. And with her ordinary physique, if the spiritual energy defense is penetrated, she will almost definitely die.
Xiaolongnu took out the two sniper rifles from the storage bag, handed the two muskets with extra-long barrels and mysterious spirit patterns all over the body to Song Qiqi, and handed her a small bag of special fixed ammunition with a dark gold bullet, and said, "Oh, this is the kind of gun." I've got two of them here, and there's not a lot of bullets, just about two dozen rounds, so I'll play with you. β
"Thank you, cousin!" Song Qiqi took the gun and bullets and happily explored how to use them.
The loading and firing of this gun are the same as ordinary flintlock muskets, Song Qiqi has been on Earth II for so long, of course she can play with flintlock muskets, so she quickly figured out the use of the two muskets, and skillfully loaded the two guns with ammunition.
Leaning one of the guns against the city wall, Song Qiqi took the other gun, pulled the hammer, and the cat poked the barrel out of the hole behind a shooting hole, squinting at the side of the coalition advance base.
"Don't fight the miscellaneous soldiers." Xiaolongnu reminded: "Fight according to the officer." β
The officers in the Servants of the Light Alliance are very conspicuous. Because the servant army in the southern battlefield is similar to the faces of Southeast Asian races, and the main troops of each army are from the core countries of the Holy Light Alliance, with high noses and deep eyes of Western races. Therefore, no matter how disguised it is, it can be distinguished with a little dim sum.
Even if camouflage is useless, the officers in the servant army of the Holy Light Alliance basically don't disguise. This time, you don't need to look at your appearance, just look at your clothes and armor, and you can easily find out the officers from the small soldiers.
The officers who dare to go to the front line are generally not weak, and at least they have the level of the high and extreme levels of the red bronze level, that is, the strength of the seventh and eighth levels. The strength of the seventh or eighth level, wearing dozens of pounds of heavy armor, can walk like flying, of course, how thick and thick it is on the battlefield.
Song Qiqi saw at a glance an officer wearing iron-gray plate armor with a full beard.
The officer was peering out from behind the first wall. Song Qiqi said in her heart, yes, you don't have to choose, I'll beat you!
At that moment, he moved his hand and put the officer's head into the crosshair, then took a deep breath, released his psionic instinct, assisted in aiming, and then pulled the trigger categorically.
Bang! With a loud bang, the projectile was discharged, and it hit the target in an instant.
Song Qiqi held her breath and stared, ready to see the officer get a headshot. Who knew that the officer just threw his forehead back suddenly, then covered his forehead and opened his big mouth to curse twice, and then made a throat-cutting gesture at Song Qiqi from a distance, and then went down the wall angrily.
Song Qiqi was dumbfounded, and said again and again: "Cousin, cousin, just now an officer was hit in the head by me, but he only tilted his head back, and it didn't look like anything was wrong!" He also found out that it was me who fired the gun and threatened me with a throat-slitting motion! You said that the distance was more than 200 meters, and the positions on both sides were filled with gunsmoke, and I was hiding behind the shooting hole and firing the gun, how could he still find me? β
"That must be a pillar country-level powerhouse." Xiaolongnu said: "With the strength of the pillar-level powerhouses, even if the gunpowder smoke is thick, even if there is a distance of more than two hundred meters, it will not affect their eyesight at all. It's easy to follow the trajectory to find you. β
Speaking of this, she sighed: "Kiki, you are really good at picking targets." Although the power of my gun is not bad, it can't kill the strong people of the Pillar Country. At most, punch a bag on his forehead. Your shot was a waste of a bullet! β
"I think it's already a very remarkable result to be able to put a bag on the head of the strong man of the Pillar Kingdom." Song Qiqi was triumphant: "Under normal circumstances, how can I have a chance to reach the strong people of the Pillar Country?" Face-to-face heads-up, the opponent didn't use a knife, and one punch knocked me into slag. I can't even hurt a single hair from him. β
"You are really ......" Xiaolongnu saw Song Qiqi's proud appearance, and she didn't know how to say that she was good, so she shook her head helplessly, and said: "Next, you have to pay attention, try to pick an officer of about ten levels to fight." β
Song Qiqi said: "Then I am not as keen as you, and I can distinguish the strength of the enemy." β
Xiaolongnu said: "It's simple, you pay attention to the surroundings of those officers." If you are alone, surrounded by servant soldiers, you must be a petty officer. If there are a few guards with high noses and deep eyes, heavy armor and large shields, it must be a mid-level and high-ranking officer. You pick up the kind of officer who is alone with a few servant soldiers, and you can ensure that one dozen and one is accurate. β
"The one I hit just now is a person who is probing his brain on the wall." Song Qiqi muttered: "It turned out to be a big shark." β
"That's a special case." Xiaolongnu said: "I wondered, that guy might be the commander of the coalition army's advance base." He was observing our shape just now, and he should be about to attack. Well, in this way, when the coalition infantry leaves the forward base and prepares to storm the city, you will come back to snipe. At that time, I chose the kind of low-level officer I said to fight, and I made sure that I couldn't make a mistake. β
"Okay then." Song Qiqi thought about it, stopped shooting for the time being, first loaded the gun that was empty just now, and waited for a while before shooting cold.
"Scarlett, you're ready too." The little dragon girl said to Scarlett again: "Like last night, snipe the coalition officers fiercely." β
"Don't worry!" Scarlett smiled and patted the quiver full of armor-piercing arrows hanging from her waist, "I've been preparing for a long time. β
The little dragon girl called the herald again, and asked the herald to inform the Celtic longbowmen that when the coalition army rushed to the city, there was no need to save strength, and they could play to their heart's content.
Five hundred Celtic longbowmen, each of whom was two meters tall and had knee-length arms. Use a two-meter long bow and an arrow weighing a heavy arrow weighing one tael or seven coins. Ordinary archery can penetrate ordinary leather armor at a distance of 300 meters, and if you use extraordinary marksmanship, you can pierce through stainless steel plate armor within 300 meters.
In the average Celtic longbow unit, the Transcendent Marksmanship is not something that everyone can master. But these 500 Celtic longbowmen were the Celtic royal guards who covered the royal family's escape when the Celtic kingdom fell. All of them can use the Transcendental Marksmanship, and the weakest of them can also use the Transcendental Marksmanship twice in one day.
The strongest commander of the longbowmen, the former lieutenant general of the Celtic royal guard, can fire nine transcendent marksmanship in one day. It is also far more powerful than other Celtic longbowmen's marksmanship, which can penetrate a five-centimeter-thick steel plate at a distance of 300 meters.
If you deal with an unarmored target, the strong people of the Pillar Country will be shot through. Of course, with the vitality of the strong people of the pillar country, they may not die if they are hit by an arrow. But two or three arrows, four or five arrows, or even nine arrows, you will definitely die.
In the previous battles, the Celtic longbowmen had been recuperating, conserving their strength, and did not make a move.
The crossbowmen in the city are actually all cameos by the soldiers of Maple Frost Danlu.
Fengshuang Danlu is a country of mercenaries, and most of the trappers have been working as mercenaries with their fathers and grandparents since they were young to make money, and all of them are all-rounders. They can not only fight in formation, but also fight on their own, and all of them know how to ride. If you give them all horses, they can be transformed into cameos as rangers.
Even cavalry can make cameos, and it is even more difficult to act as a crossbowman.
After the herald left, Scarlett asked, "Dragon, why did you let the Celtic longbowmen not save their strength?" Didn't Li Qing say that he wanted to take the fight and hide his strength? β
"Hidden strength is hidden strength, but it can't be too fake." Xiaolongnu explained: "Actually, the biggest killers on our side are Su Su and Li Qing. Su Su's transcendent forbidden area and legendary spell-casting ability are enough to overwhelm the magic advantage of the Holy Light Alliance side and defend against one of the thirteen Radiant Knights who may arrive. Li Qing's Nightmare Demon Body Transformation can take the lead and fight the Knights of the Cathar to lead us through their formation.
"So as long as the two of them hide their strength, it's enough. I don't need to hide my regular force. The strength of the mixed legion can also be displayed in a generous way, making the Holy Light Alliance think that the strong combat effectiveness of the mixed legion is our greatest reliance. When the coalition forces thought that they had figured out the details of us and played their trump cards, Li Qing and Su Su would be able to give them a huge surprise. β
Li Qing left Xiaolongnu on the city wall because he believed that she, who had inherited the knowledge of Long Linghan, could do better than herself in the field of professional command. Also trust her battlefield judgment.
And Xiaolongnu can indeed accurately understand Li Qing's thoughts. and took the initiative to help Li Qing improve the details of the plan to bully the enemy.
When the little dragon girl explained her thoughts to Scarlett in the city, in a hidden cave in the advance base of the coalition army, Laprov grinned and rubbed his forehead, and scolded angrily: "Damn, I was actually shot cold by a woman!" No, this must be revenged! I have to capture that little bitch alive and teach her how to shoot in bed! β
Laprov came from a small aristocracy, although he was the second son and had no inheritance rights, but he was also highly educated. However, he has been working hard in the army since he was a teenager, and he has long been a qualified veteran ruffian. In front of Shangguan, he was courteous and polite. But in front of his subordinates, he came with a rough yellow tone and opened his mouth.
But that's the habit in the army. The aristocracy's set will not work and cannot be eaten in the army, but this kind of arrogant yellow tone can make subordinates feel close.
At this moment, listening to Laprov's threat of revenge, the officers below burst into laughter in unison. Several officers patted their chests and made guarantees, promising that they would capture the little bitch alive and send him to the general's bed for nothing.
After laughing with his subordinates for a while, Laprov straightened his face and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." The troops are all assembled, right? β
After receiving an affirmative answer, Laprov nodded and said, "Tiger, Clark, Andy, the first wave of attack is led by you." Wait until our trebuchets have fired a salvo, and then the assault begins. I don't need you to go up to the top of the city, but at least you have to rush down to the bottom of the city and put up the ladder for me!" β
"Yes, General!" The three officers who were called by Laprov agreed in a loud voice.
