Chapter 1249, Shelling Fire
Outside the Winter Fortress, a large number of hyena men infantry screamed and charged.
The armor on their bodies is extremely simple, it is said to be armor, but in fact it is two metal plates several centimeters thick, one tied to the chest, the other tied to the back, and they also wear a metal helmet with poor workmanship on their heads, which can be said to be very characteristic of orc civilization.
To put it simply, it is a standard, protect the vital points, and the metal plate must be absolutely thick enough.
According to the physical fitness of the orcs, as long as the person who is shot is not fatal, what can be counted as a few shots in other parts?
On the side of the main force of the orc army, the hyena people are the vanguard, and the main force composed of various orcs has a fierce offensive momentum.
However, this is not over, with the frantic forward pressure of the orc army, at the rear of the battlefield, a dense muffled sound came, and a large number of elephant soldiers with full tonnage stepped into the battlefield at this moment.
They didn't come up with their bare hands, but dragged huge carts made according to their size, and on top of them, there were round black cannonballs with a diameter of about one and a half meters!
There were no cannons, but I saw those elephant men who broke into the battlefield, directly stretched out their hands, grabbed a cannonball from the board cart with one hand, and after lighting the fuse, accompanied by a low roar, the elephant men burst out of power and launched a full force throw.
This is the true 'Orc Cannon!' ’
Driven by a terrifying brute force, huge black cannonballs flew directly over a distance of hundreds of meters and smashed towards the outer trenches of the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization!
A shell with a diameter of one meter and a half, what kind of concept is this? For some people who are long and short, this is basically a cannonball of equal height!
At this moment, the northern soldiers guarding the outer trenches faced such a battle, and their faces changed suddenly.
"Lie down !!"
With a roar, the black cannonball exploded, apparently, it shouldn't have been as heavy as it looked, because it was full of explosives!
The roar of the explosion was so loud that it almost shattered the eardrum of a person.
The group of soldiers who were closer to the center of the explosion at that time can be said to have all suffered.
In the Winter Fortress, in the face of such a battle from the other party, Hill, who was dressed in military uniform, had a gloomy face, and then ordered in a loud voice......
"All cannons change their targets, and all aim at the elephant men in the back row of the opposing party!"
After years of research and improvement by the ordnance research and development talents of their three races, the Terrans, the Dwarves and the Goblins, the latest cannons in the Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization have an effective firing range of four thousand meters, and the other elephant people are completely within their range.
Standing on the cannon platform of the Winter Fortress, the dwarven artillerymen began to move neatly to adjust the attack angle of the cannon.
Then, amid a deafening roar, the cannons placed on the fortress opened fire at the same time.
After two rounds of ballistic calibration, shells were fired, and gradually began to hit the target.
On the elephant man who was shelled, blood flowers continued to bloom one after another.
However, the form was not particularly optimistic, because they found one thing, and that was that their cannonballs seemed a little petite to the elephant people......
Although the high gunpowder of the warhead exploded, it directly blew up a whole piece of flesh and blood of those elephant people, but due to the huge size problem, it always feels a little subtle......
At the same time, Ciel, who was located inside the Winter Fortress, also discovered another problem.
It was the cannonball of the elephant man opposite, and it didn't seem to be as ferocious as it seemed.
To put it bluntly, the reason for this is gunpowder.
In the same era, the high explosives produced by the dwarven dynamite workshop, a special building of the dwarf civilization, undoubtedly belong to the top quality, and the human civilization is slightly inferior, and the orc civilization with low technical power, the gunpowder they produce is naturally worse......
And this quality problem is obviously directly reflected in the power of explosives.
However, from another point of view, according to the technological strength of the orc civilization, it is actually not easy for them to start producing gunpowder.
As thoughts flickered, Ciel motioned directly to the dwarven artillerymen on the wall to launch a concentrated fire attack.
But this order did not go well, for the Elephant Man soldiers had the great advantage of being able to move nimbly in towing the cart carrying the cannonballs, which was much faster than the bulky cannon.
After all, elephant people are not stupid, standing there and letting you aim and fire? How can it be?
The moving Elephant Soldiers made the artillery bombardment more difficult to hit, which they had not felt when they were attacking enemy artillery units before.
In desperation, Hill could only signal the dwarven artillerymen to abandon precision artillery bombardment and use range suppression instead.
Taking advantage of the cover of their own artillery units and seeing the opportunity, the soldiers of the troops stationed in the north raised their rifles one after another and began to pour fire frantically, relying on a dense network of firepower to forcibly contain the advance of the orc army.
At the same time, behind the trenches, the orc soldiers who also belonged to the northern troops were also ready to attack, ready to rush forward and fight with those enemy orcs at any time.
And it was during this period that on the periphery of the northern battlefield, seeing the opportunity for the garrison of the Winter Fortress to have a frantic exchange of fire with Raymond Sosi's army, an army quietly killed from the side of the battlefield!
"Report, report General! An army of Terrans appears on the left side of the fortress! The number is more than 50,000!! ”
After spotting the enemy's traces, the soldier who rushed all the way to report the situation had obvious urgency and panic in his voice.
"Terran army? Where did the Terran army come from?! ”
Faced with such an unexpected situation, Hill's expression was visibly shocked.
This orc army on the frontal battlefield is already a huge threat, and at this juncture, if there is another Terran army of more than 50,000 people......
Thinking of this, Ciel's face was already extremely difficult to see.
"Colonel Wade, Lieutenant Colonel Luke, take your troops and come with me!"
Without having time to think about it, after quickly calling the troops of the White Wolf Patriarch Wade and the Elephant Leader Luke, Hill stepped on a pair of black military boots and hurried towards the side of the fortress, wanting to confirm the situation with his own eyes.
By the time she arrived, the army that had entered the battlefield had already begun to pour fire on the outer trenches of the Winter Fortress.
A whole platoon of enemy cannons fired wildly.
On the side of the Winter Fortress, most of the troops are concentrated in the frontal battlefield, and the forces responsible for staring at this side can be said to be extremely limited, and the cannons pouring firepower almost crush them to the point where they can't raise their heads.
If it weren't for the minefields set up around this winter fortress to block the advance momentum of this army to a certain extent, then this fortress would probably have to fall just now.
