Chapter 252: Grenade Descends
Within half a day, Lionheart's follow-up forces arrived near the camp to build another new one.
The orcs of the guerrillas took advantage of the distance of their rifled guns to cause great trouble to the unguarded royal army, and if anyone showed up, they would surely die.
Wang Chengjun was annoyed by this, and spent tens of thousands of people patrolling the forest, and the patrol became a death squad.
The cat-people were driven farther away, and the orcs succeeded in establishing a new camp on the back slope.
In order to build this new camp, hundreds of lives were consumed, and the original plan was to build three new camps, but it had no choice but to cancel and only build one new camp.
Night.
The High Priest disguised himself into the new camp, and the Lionman truthfully reported the various new weapons used in Tomorrowland today.
Seeing the heavy casualty data, Scott, the Kingdom Priest, was annoyed, but the data on the new weapon did have overwhelming power, and they were not to blame, only the weapons of Tomorrow City were too violent.
With a calm face, the Kingdom Priest called the blacksmith in the camp and asked if the new weapon could be made.
The answer, as in the day, the royal blacksmith could not imitate a new weapon unless there was better gunpowder in the royal city.
If possible, it's best to capture the physical object of Tomorrow's new weapon.
With a wave of his hand, the high priest drove the blacksmith out and locked himself in a small, gloomy tent in which only henchmen orcs were on standby.
"It's night, keep enough torches on the periphery, beware of the sneak attack of Tomorrow City, they are especially powerful at night."
"Send soldiers to survey the height of their walls and organize the first siege in the middle of the night."
The Kingdom Priests thought about it, they couldn't let the enemy harass them, they had to take the initiative.
The orcs were ordered to increase their patrols.
In order to prevent the enemy from secretly pulling artillery to bombard the nearby camp, they also increased the patrol range, expanding it to a range of 500 meters.
In addition, a large reconnaissance team of 2,000 people set out to observe the height of their walls in the direction of the walls of Tomorrow City.
It stands to reason that reconnaissance is the most taboo because it will make reconnaissance less concealed.
But this is the territory of Tomorrow City, and there are many eyeliners in the forest, and scattered scouts will definitely be attacked, so it is better to form a large team to reconnoiter in a high-profile manner.
A team of 2,000 men was dispatched, and the cat-eared orcs did not take them, but the light was weak at night, and the aiming of the guns was weak, and they did not want to waste bullets.
They started throwing grenades instead, and at night, the forest was dim, and several grenades were thrown at the place where they passed, and they exploded with a bang, blowing up more than a dozen members of the reconnaissance team.
The scout team did not dare to stand too densely, nor did they dare to run too far, and fought with the orcs of Tomorrow City all the way, and finally ran to the place of the eastern city wall, and the height of the city wall was only four meters.
I heard that the main wall section is ten meters long, and this section of the wall is only four meters, which is completely unable to stop the Templars' super jumping power.
"Let's go, go back and pass the information back, we may be attacking the city tonight."
The scouts were excited, and saw how low the enemy's walls were.
The weapons of Tomorrow City are very powerful, but after all, the development time is too short, and the walls are not high enough at all.
After more than a year of physical training, the Templars were almost always able to jump four meters high.
By the way, six meters is almost the limit jump distance for a paladin.
When the orc scout team returned again, it deliberately made a detour back to prevent the enemy from ambushing.
There was nothing wrong with what the Orcs of Lionheart City did, and the Orcs of Tomorrow City did prepare an ambush, but they didn't wait for the enemy to appear for a long time, and they didn't know that the enemy had gone around to the other side to go back until the small animal notified them, so they hurriedly chased after them.
Chased to the camp, the foot of the mountain, halfway up the mountain, and the top of the hill were full of torches, the enemy camp was as bright as day, and a large number of orcs patrolled the clearing, and there was no room for sneaking.
Seeing that the enemy's defense was so dense, they had no way to assassinate them, so they could only keep an eye around.
According to the plan, Allen's cannon fire was almost ready.
Allen didn't follow the usual routine to defend this time, he knew that the enemy didn't plan to attack immediately, so he immediately mobilized rifled cannons and transported them outside the wall, bringing a thirty-two-pounder howitzer.
As for the 2,000-strong reconnaissance team, Alan didn't send anyone to intercept them, because the total strength of Tomorrow City is only more than 2,000 people, and most of the troops still have to defend the city and spare no manpower to deal with them.
He kept abreast of the enemy's movements through the animals, and his heart was relieved when he knew that the reconnaissance had returned to the camp.
At about ten o'clock that night, the pitch-black rifled cannon was dropped at a distance of 2,500 meters from the enemy camp.
At this time, the enemy was still resting, and they waited until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night to start the attack.
Alan looked at the two rifled cannons in front of him, hugged the cannon body, and was using his thermal weapon shooting skills to predict the actual landing point of the cannonballs.
"Raise the muzzle, aim at a certain point in the sky, move a little to the left, move a little down, yes, that's it."
The artillery they don't know how Allen aims, anyway, the worship is over, and they do whatever Allen says.
"Lord Allen, can you really shoot the enemy like this, we can't even see the camp now."
Deputy Military Secretary Natasha showed a worried expression, a zero-tactical vision strike like Allen was simply unreasonable.
Where is the enemy, I can't see it at all, is it all up to the blind to beat people?
"During the day, I observed the location of their camp on the mountain, and the geographical location was in my mind, don't worry, I used mathematical formulas to deduce." Eren tapped his hand on his head, signaling that everyone should not worry.
When it comes to mathematics, the orc's face is slightly pale, it is really a complicated subject.
It was easy to learn at first, but the more difficult it became after learning, not everyone had the opportunity to listen to Allen's lectures, so ordinary orcs were quite afraid of mathematics.
"Ignition, fire." Allen stepped back and let the artillerymen do it.
The artilleryman was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Before aiming, the rifled cannon was loaded with propellants and grenades, and now the preparations for aiming were completed, just waiting for the sound of the cannonball.
The artilleryman picked up the lead rope and pulled the rope violently, and the flint rubbed to make a fire, igniting the propellant, and the gunpowder burned violently.
The gas expanded violently, pushing the grenade against the rifling to rotate out of the chamber, and flames and white smoke poured out of the muzzle, producing a flash of fire.
The two grenades spun, maintaining their direction due to the centripetal force, gliding through a graceful arc, crossing the forest of 2,200 meters, and then over the torch patrol belt of 300 meters, to the top of the Lionheart Camp.
……
With a three-hundred-meter torch patrol, the lion soldiers looked around nervously, keeping an eye on all suspicious figures.
A torch is inserted every ten meters next to him to ensure that the light source is absolutely sufficient, and there is no dark area with zero light source.
The reason why it is so extravagant and wasteful is because of the amazing achievements of the cat people in Morning Glory Town, which makes the high-level of Lionheart afraid of it.
The Cat-Folk once slaughtered a slave camp overnight in Morning Glory and stabbed slave traders to death in their homes.
The enemy's nocturnal assassination ability is very strong, and the high-ranking of the lion man is very desperate and will never give the other party a chance to sneak.
Because there were too many torches, the smoke from the torches also rose into the air and heated up slightly.
"The temperature is a bit high, not at all like winter." The lion-man shook his hand and fanned the hot air.
"yes, it's no wonder that the torch is not hot." The companion nodded, deeply touched.
He looked up at the sky and wanted to see the stars, but he saw that the sky was covered with a layer of misty smoke.
"Hey, what's that?"
In the misty smoke, two black clouds of smoke pierced through the pale smoke like meteors and smashed into the camp behind them.
