Chapter 935: The Roaring Artillery
"Damn! Stone-shooting cannon?! ”
In that moment, Owen, who was already aware of what was happening, burst into foul language on the spot.
But then he realized something, and he quickly shook his head.
"Impossible, according to the power of normal stone cannons, it is impossible to destroy the armor plate of my ironclad car with one shot!"
The weapon of the stone cannon is obviously not unfamiliar to players who have developed to the Black Iron rank.
Based on their technical prowess and the advantages of modern players, it is not difficult to build one.
It's just that they don't use it at all.
The accuracy and range are not as good as the three-bow bed crossbow, and the cost is still high.
Until the next stage of development, it was impossible for artillery to replace the three-bow bed crossbow on the battlefield.
However, what was now in front of Owen's eyes was that the artillery was clearly being used on the opposite side.
And the power of that shot was simply amazing!
There's no time for Oventon to think about it, the defenders of Kaolin City won't be kind enough to wait until the other side understands it before continuing to do it!
At this moment, I saw that behind the gate of Gaoling City, the muzzles of the three cannons were all aimed at the direction of the city gate, and the cannon on the far left of them was still slightly smoking, obviously the blow just now was its masterpiece.
Under normal circumstances, the power of a catapult would certainly not have been able to reach such a level.
It's just that the artillery research and development of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds has already stepped into the realm of 'rifled artillery' with one foot.
But it's probably a technical or design problem.
Range and power are clearly far from the same.
The effective firing range is about three hundred and fifty meters, and the power of the shells is still being adjusted, plus the cost is there, if you want to completely replace the three-bow bed crossbow, I am afraid there is still research.
At the same time, it was precisely because of this range problem that they did not set up artillery on the wall as a defense device for the time being.
However, when blocking the city gates, it came in handy unexpectedly.
At that time, the ironclad car that rushed in was only a short distance of thirty or forty meters from the muzzle of the artillery.
What is this concept?
It's basically the same as putting the muzzle of the gun against your head and firing!
The power of the shelling at this distance can be imagined.
At the same time, from the front of the car that was completely destroyed by the bombardment, Guo Zhen also found that there were still soldiers hidden in the ironclad car!
The soldiers were unusual, all dressed in silver-white full-body armor, armed themselves like iron buckets.
Such a costume made Guo Zhen instantly think of the elite troops of their Ten Thousand Worlds Civilization, the Xuanjia Army!
At this moment, Guo Zhen can be said to have reacted all of a sudden.
On the other side, there is a routine!
They hid a group of hoplites in an ironclad cart, and then had ordinary soldiers push the ironclad cart to break through the city gate and rush into the city.
At that time, as soon as the door of the armored car opened, a large number of heavily armed heavy infantry were killed from the vehicle, and in the face of such a wave of unexpected attacks, with the strength of their troops near the city gate, it was estimated that they would really be defeated by the opposite side.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhen's face also showed a trace of palpitations.
Then he hurriedly ordered in a loud voice......
"Fire! Keep firing for me!! ”
The three guns fired one after another in order, and with the roar of artillery fire, the thermal weapon officially appeared on the stage of the battlefield of the times.
The heavy ironclad car, in the face of artillery attacks, does not have any evasive ability at all, and is basically the same as the target placed there.
The thick armor plates did not provide any security for the Europa hoplites inside.
In the blink of an eye, he followed in the footsteps of the first ironclad car.
The Europa hoplites who were hiding in the ironclad car, before they even figured out what was going on, were blown away by the people and the car.
Even if he is lucky enough not to die, in the face of such a close shelling, it is estimated that he will be shocked out of a serious concussion.
At this moment, Owen only felt that his whole heart was dripping blood!
Let's not talk about the ironclad car, the heavy infantry in it is from weapons and equipment to daily training, but he used money to smash it out, and it is also the trump card force in his hand.
Before he could show any value, he was planted under the artillery on the opposite side, and this cruel reality made his whole brain stunned for nearly a minute.
Then, there was a clear hissing in his voice......
"Rush in! Rush in for me!! ”
In Gaoling City, after the three cannons fired, there was still one ironclad car left.
The ironclad car is propelled by manpower, and in the current situation, if you turn around and run away, you will only completely become the target of the opposite cannon.
Rushing in head-on and slamming your face before the next round of cannon fire has a higher chance of success!
And they have all been lost to this point, if he doesn't rob him of the resources of a city and go back, can he swallow that breath?!
The Europa soldiers under Owen's command are obviously no strangers to the hot weapon of cannon.
After being taken aback by the attack from the other side, he didn't completely mess up like a native.
One by one, they rushed up quickly, pushing the last ironclad car and rushing inside.
Guo Zhen, who sensed the other party's intentions, naturally would not let them succeed.
"Quick, put down the gates!"
didn't give the last ironclad car a chance to rush in, and the city gate fell with a bang, making Owen in the rear almost angry and wanted to scold his mother.
"I don't want the ironclad car, all come down from above, set up a ladder, and rush to the wall!!"
The gate on the opposite side was closed like this, which was equivalent to breaking Owen's thoughts.
By the time it was opened again, the cannon at the end of the gate must have been recooled and reloaded.
In other words, it's already a dead end.
But fortunately, his military advantage is still there, and he is forced to rush to the wall, and the odds of victory are not low!
One after the other, the ladders were quickly set up.
Standing on the top of the wall, Du Yuanzhi, who was in charge of commanding the operation, saw this, and hurriedly signaled a messenger next to him to rush to the bottom to summon the message, and asked Guo Zhen to take some soldiers to hurry back to the wall!
This whole process undoubtedly takes a certain amount of time, and the rolling wood and stones on the wall have already been consumed.
As a result, the garrison on the wall can no longer effectively stop the enemy Europa soldiers from advancing forward.
A large number of enemy soldiers began to rush up the wall continuously, and Du Yuanzhi, who realized that the situation was not good, hurriedly signaled the rear troops and goblin soldiers to leave the wall area from the retreat staircase on the other side.
And the team of personal soldiers who were responsible for protecting Du Yuanzhi's safety naturally would not let their helpless staff officers stay on the wall and take risks, escorting Du Yuanzhi all the way to escape below.
This can only be said to have changed too quickly.
By the time Guo Zhen and his infantry troops rushed back to the wall, half of the wall of Gaoling City had basically fallen.
A large number of invaders slaughtered his soldiers frantically, and the first group of them rushed to the front of the enemy heavy infantry who armed themselves like iron barrels!
