Chapter 1262: Hook's Blind Spot (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for a Subscription, Asking for a Recommendation) Asking for a Monthly Pass!!
After agreeing to Solam's deal, the dwarf took over the command of the artillery position on his own initiative, which made the gnoll lieutenant very angry, but with Solam's permission, the adjutant could only hold back if he was not convinced.
"Why, don't we have to storm the city as soon as possible?" So when the dwarf was talking, the adjutant retorted very unconvinced.
The dwarf gave him a disdainful look, and then continued to Solam: "The entire city of Yenogu is placed on several huge rock rollers, which means that its overall structure is actually suspended in the air, as long as we can destroy their bearings, we can destroy the entire city in one fell swoop. This is our dwarf's famous Hooker's law of rebound, which only needs to destroy a few points to destroy the largest objects with minimal force! ”
Hooke's law of rebound is a very applied law in engineering, and it is also the first law discovered by dwarves. The meaning of this law is that in a stone wall, only a few holes need to be cut in a specific position, and the stone wall will crack if it is gently pushed; The special location of these holes is the so-called "Hook blind spot". But the "Hook Blind Spot" is unpredictable, and it is useless to chisel around. Dwarves have an innate ability to quickly spot the location of Hook's blind spot on veins and stones, and they follow this law to dig through mountains and rocks.
It is also because of this law that the dwarves were able to hollow out the mountains and build towering underground cities. If you really dig indiscriminately, let's not talk about whether you can build an underground city, you can exhaust the dwarves if you are tired. It is also because of this that the dwarves who have mastered this law regard this law as the foundation of their lives, and keep it secret, and it is difficult for others to find out.
However, it was the first time that Soram had heard of this theory in siege warfare.
But listening to Thorin's explanation, Solam felt that with the dwarves being as reliable as ever, they should not be fooling around on this.
"Then do it!" Soram didn't want to do something he didn't understand, and since the dwarf said it could be done, Soram naturally listened to the professionals. After all, when it comes to engineering, dwarves do have a natural advantage.
So Solam directly handed over the artillery position to the command of the dwarves, as the first race to use artillery, the dwarves for the use of artillery, is a must, and only humans can rely on scientific calculations in this area to compete.
In any case, it is impossible for Solam to believe that a group of pirates who play naval artillery battles can know more about artillery correction and landing point calculation than dwarves.
Dwarves are not arrogant, but in their own field of expertise, dwarves are even more arrogant than elves, and they will always look down on other races. So Thorin became the commander of the artillery, without the slightest modesty or hesitation, everything seemed so taken for granted.
This terrible original commander, the adjutant jackal, is popular enough. But as an author who doesn't bother to think about the name, he is angry, and it is useless, anyway, if he doesn't want to, Solam really doesn't mind, kill him, and then let the dwarf become the conductor.
After getting along with each other along the way, the pirates understood Solam's senses for them too well, and he didn't talk about pirates as human beings at all, and even hated them terribly. Although the pirates don't know why.
***********************
Solam is busy here, and the gnolls in the city are not blind, so they naturally know that something is wrong.
Artillery is rare in the abyss, but it's not enough for the gnolls not to know it. In particular, these cannons are all from the local tyrants of the demon lords, Mecansut, and these cannons are all good things that the Succubus Queen has bought from various material planes, large-caliber cannons of Yishui.
155 caliber is a general meaning, and 210 caliber guns have a bunch, all of which are fire-breathing demons that can blow permanent fortifications into the sky.
Among them, there are also three giant bronze cannons, full magic power, weighing 47.5 tons, which need to be dragged by fifty meters of berserk demons, each cannonball has 800 kilograms, and the specific destructive power is not easy to describe, let's say, in the material plane, there is basically no wall that can block this kind of cannonball.
The only downside is that the cooldown time is too long, and after about one shell is fired, it takes an hour to cool down the barrel and repatch the magic circle on the barrel, which is very cumbersome. What's worse is that every time you fire, there is a risk that the barrel will be deformed and scrapped directly.
Poor practicality.,Originally, this thing was also a concept product that Mecanshit didn't know where to get.,As a result, this time in order to ensure the success rate of the plan.,So it was brought in.。
Seeing this pile of murder weapons at their door, the gnolls knew that they were going to suffer a lot, so when the artillery position was in the final calibration, the city gate opened, and a group of purgatory gnolls drove countless coyotes and ghouls out of the city.
These gnolls have a very strong desire to fight, after all, if they really don't defend the city of Yenogu, they will be greeted with a situation more desperate than death, so they are desperate now. And coyotes and ghouls are also blessed with evil magic, and they are fierce and fierce.
Unfortunately, this is not of bird's use.
If nothing else, as long as Soram was in front, the beasts and ghouls were of no use to birds. Although the gnolls really can't figure it out, Solam, a demon lord, knows so many positive energy spells for Mao. Often a piece of positive energy is sprinkled, and the ghoul is poured out.
The beasts were better cleaned up, and with a flash of fear, the coyotes disappeared without a trace. The beast is not good at all, it looks good, but it is actually very limited.
Only the last Infernal Jackal is hard stubble.
Although the battle with the Infernal Gnoll is written lightly, in fact, the battle is very fierce, and almost a third of the people brought by Solam have been killed, and these demons are all chosen, and Mecanshut takes this mission very seriously. The selected troops were all extremely elite, and even a male succubus unit was handed over to Solam.
But that's it, Soram is still playing very hard.
But the good thing is that it's almost over.
As the demons and gnolls kill together and fall into a scuffle, everything is already doomed.
Because the gnolls are like demons, their chaotic personalities are obvious, so it is impossible for them to really have any tactics, and they can't break through the defense line set by Soram just by relying on their blood. Solam's defense line is also simple.
At the front are the demons, all they have to do is to disperse the first wave of attacks and distract the gnolls, and behind are the pirates, their role is actually similar, continue to distract them, after all, once the battle begins, there are really not many people among the gnolls who can think about the task, they follow their instincts more, and they are addicted to killing and fighting.
And the last one is the Frost Wolf Warband, the Holy Blood Angel Wargroup and some elite pirates, of which the Frostwolf Wargroup has to kill and kill, while the Holy Blood Angel Wargroup and the elite pirates focus on defense and specialize in killing those who slip through the net.
They have the highest level of discipline and can take on defensive tasks well, at least they don't leave their defensive positions easily.
Solam, on the other hand, focused on dealing with those strong men, only from the beginning of the battle, Solam faced at least five Infernal Gnolls at the level of secondary demon lords, relying on the assistance of Motarian and St. Giles, these five secondary demon lords all fell under Solam's flaming decapitation sword twenty minutes after the battle began.
With the fifth Minor Demon Lord slain by Solam, the calibration of the cannon was complete.
"Boom !!"
The sad song of the destruction of the ancient city of Yeno is also sung at the moment. With the roar of the artillery, all the shells exploded at the target marked by the dwarf Thorin, and the entire city of Yenogu began to tilt in a shock!
A rock roller under the city swayed away from the city's chassis, rolled to the side, and finally fell weakly. ()
