Chapter 508: Steel Rock Siege (4)

While the war machines of both sides are firing fiercely at each other, several new ones that have never been seen before are on the scene.

These were several large-caliber guns, and although at first glance they were a little smaller than trebuchets, they were noticeably much heavier and stronger, and their construction was more complex.

Their bodies are all made of special metal that glows silver, and they are by no means comparable to those wooden shelves, and the two are put together, one is like a cold killing machine, and the other is a child's toy.

On the city wall, the old rotten fang, who was being smashed by a trebuchet, soon discovered the enemy's new weapon, and his face changed greatly.

"Not good! That's ......"

He immediately shouted to the goblin boy who was in control of the "Dive Destruction Catapult" to concentrate his fire and attack the new war machines first, but it was too late.

Unlike the trebuchets from the hands of Imperial craftsmen, this new artillery is much stronger than the former in terms of momentum and power.

The reason is simple, just look at the controller next to them.

It was a group of creatures half the height of ordinary people, short but stocky, each wearing light but strong armor, with round iron helmets on their heads, and, most notably, a beard as thick as weeds.

Dwarf!

It turned out to be a bunch of dwarves!

What they bring is a powerful cannon!

All of a sudden, the siege warfare of the Cold Weapon Age has entered a new stage.

Havelock finally showed his hole cards, and that's where his real confidence lies!

Accompanied by bright firelight and billowing smoke, several loud bangs exploded from the thick metal cannon muzzles, and the towering city wall was hit hard again, and several large holes were smashed in an instant.

Although there were no direct casualties this time, looking at the stunned expressions of the goblin boys, they were all half frightened to death by the blow just now, which seemed to shake the ground.

To add insult to injury, the trebuchet's attack did not stop, and with the protection of the human powerhouse, the counterattack of the "Dive Destruction Catapult" was greatly reduced, and it could not threaten the opponent as effectively as the day before yesterday.

As a last resort, even if he had already seen shrimp rushing towards him outside the city, Old Rotten Tooth had to order all the goblin archers to temporarily retreat and find cover to avoid being smashed into meatloaf by boulders.

In fact, even if he didn't arrange it this way, the green skin on the city wall was on the verge of collapse.

In the end, only a small number of people were left to continue to operate the "Dive Destruction Catapult" to return fire, but the effect was not ideal.

Although the target was changed, the result was still the same.

As the Goblins soared close to the new Cannon, they were no longer stopped by flying swords or galloping magic, but by a dense burst of gunfire.

The mad goblin finally fell headlong to the ground with a bullet hole all over his body, like a kite with a broken string.

It turned out that these dwarves had already taken precautions, and stood in front of the artillery with two rows of infantry armed with muskets, and whenever a goblin flew over, they raised their guns in an orderly manner, opened fire, and in the thunderous gunfire and smoke rising into the air, not a single "cannonball" could hit the target.

The powerful suppression of fire suddenly turned the situation of the offensive and defensive sides upside down.

The "Broken Claw Tribe", which originally occupied the advantageous territory, fell into the disadvantage and became a passive beaten side.

Without the harassment of the archers, Havelock did not hesitate to send most of his infantry out, leaving only a small number of his own heavy infantry and cavalry units to suppress the formation to prevent accidents, and at the same time to show his attitude not to compete with other lords for the fruits of victory.

No one can erase his merits anyway.

If he hadn't spent a lot of money and borrowed these pieces of artillery from the "Haimen Pass" Engineers' Guild, it would have been absolutely impossible to capture the fortress in front of him in such a short period of time with such a small loss.

Of course, the war is not over yet, but no one doubts that in this situation, the Greenskins can turn the tables on the tables.

Thanks to this dwarven troop that suddenly appeared.

In fact, when they entered the coalition camp yesterday, everyone was taken aback.

These dwarves are known to be difficult to get along with, and although their relationship with humans is not bad, they are not good enough to send troops to help for no reason.

It wasn't until Havelock showed up and told everyone that this was the reinforcement he specially invited from the "Haimen Pass" that everyone understood why he was so confident that he would definitely be able to break through the strong green-skinned fortress in three days.

It was not easy to recruit these dwarves to help the humans fight, and it was all for three reasons.

First, the Empire and the Dwarves have a good relationship.

Since Sigmar signed the strongest alliance in the Old World with the Dwarven High King, the attitude of the Dwarven States towards the Empire has more or less improved, and the same is true of the "Sea Gate Pass", where Havelock revealed his true identity as soon as he contacted the Engineers' Guild there.

Second, money.

Although there is a relationship, but the money still has to be in place, in order to be able to invite these siege weapons of war, Havelock spent a full 200,000 gold crowns, it turns out that the greed of the dwarves is as serious and persistent as their attitude towards hatred, and money is good work.

Thirdly, because the opponent is a greenskin.

As soon as he heard that he was going to shoot green mushrooms, the president of the "Haimen Pass" Engineer Guild, Thomas Harfnersen, not only agreed, but also said that there would be a special surprise.

No matter which dwarven kingdom it is, the Dwarven clan's "Book of Hatred" must have the name of the greenskin.

"Hahahaha! How about it, this filthy, in front of our powerful cannon, is as vulnerable as papier-mΓ’chΓ©! ”

Thomasson let out a rough laugh, his face was made of metal and glass, two square hammers made of steel hung from his waist, and his long white beard was neatly divided into a dozen bundles by a silver ring the thickness of his thumb, and the color and length of his beard showed that he was an elder among the dwarves.

In dwarven societies, age means knowledge as well as ability, and the older the dwarves, the more powerful, the more intelligent, and the more skilled they are.

This is the case with the president of the "Haimenguan" Engineers' Guild in front of him.

With special glasses with the function of a telescope on his head and many years of experience in the use of artillery, at a glance, he knew how to correct the angle of the launch in order to accurately hit the target.

Under his command, all five cannons hit the walls of the "Steel Rock" with the first shot, and directly smashed five large holes.

And if you look closely, you will find that these five holes are all located near the steel gate in the middle of the road, and the intention is self-evident.

He's going to smash that gate open!

"Mr. Thomason is worthy of being the most famous master engineer in Haimenguan! With your help, we'll be able to climb the walls of Green Mushroom before dark! ”

Havelock was a completely different person at this time, with a sincere smile on his face, on the one hand, from the heart, the joy that he was about to realize his dream for many years, and on the other hand, he also knew that the good-faced dwarf ate this set the most.

Sure enough, hearing his praise, Thomas let out a hearty laugh again, and while directing his dwarves to continue firing cannons, he patted his chest and swore an oath:

"Dark? It won't take that long, when it comes to building city walls, there is no one in the world who is better at it than us, these green mushrooms know a fart! Don't look at the tall city wall, in fact, it is not strong at all, if you want me to see, at most, in an hour, my treasure can blow up a big hole in the city gate! And don't worry, I have prepared a big gift for them, and there will be a good show to watch then! ”
