Chapter 1326: Belencaster One

Strictly speaking, the eight-hundred-millimeter Gustav, with his current engineering and technical ability, even if the dwarves all have the level of an eighth-level worker, plus the bonus of alchemy, he can't do it.

In the same way, the Urban cannon, which weighed as much as 33 tons but could only fire 500 kilograms of stone projectiles, sounded bluffing, but for a long time it was actually helpless to get the frontal walls of Constantinople. If the dwarves gave themselves this finished product, Lu Xi would not mind tying up the engineers and dropping the street lights.

This "railgun" that appeared in the world for the first time, and later I don't know who named it "Belenkarst Cannon No. 1", the caliber of the finished product is exactly 300mm, the weight is just over 10 tons, the barrel is 10 meters long, and the gun body plus the base contains more than 70% of the weight of the entire cannon. Strictly speaking, such a huge artillery only has such a weight - don't think it's strange, in Lu Xi's hometown, PLA is heavily equipped with a 155 caliber Z88 towed howitzer operated by a nine-man artillery squad, and the mass is actually close to ten tons, and it takes a large truck to tow it - of course, because of the use of lightweight sacred alloys and alchemy materials on some important spare parts, and even the use of magic to reduce weight.

Well, 300mm, by the standards of army artillery, even during the two wars in Lu Xi's hometown, it is definitely a behemoth. Theoretically, it was only when placed on rails that its huge mass would not crush the thin and soft ground of that time. However, Lu Xi, who has seen Gustav's intimidating size, has always believed that "caliber is justice", and always feels that this thing is actually a little "small".

However, as long as the power is reached, there is not much to say. You must know that the current guide cannon produced by North Industries, even if it is the largest caliber of the Avalanche General A type, is only more than 50 mm, but the special high-explosive bomb that is fired is filled with obsidian and explosive runes, and the firepower can directly cover a place the size of a football field, and the power is definitely not below those righteous 155 or even 203. So, who can guarantee that the 300 in front of you will not show everyone the same justice as Gustavus?

In short, Lu Xi is looking forward to it. He felt that as long as the launch could be successful this time, it would not be a dream to have a more just 460mm naval gun in the future.

Eh, hehehe, my old enemy brother who is neither beautiful nor middle-two, if I paste that 460 cannonball directly into your face, and look at the infinite resurrection buff of what kind of spirit, can I save you.

"Everything is ready! Please give the order ......" After completing all the previous operations, Grant, who volunteered to be the gunner's master, had already run to Lu Xi's side, stood upright, raised his hands and saluted, everything was full of a sense of ceremony. This villager A boy probably thought that this would be his most showy shot, and his expression was solemn, full of a sense of mission that could even be called sacred.

Why is there such a formalism? In addition, the current nominal supreme commander of the coalition is the ghost father, no, His Majesty Emperor Otto, you should go to him even if you want to find instructions...... Well, Uncle Otto was standing on a high ground a few miles from here, cheering loudly at the Nord brothers who were already lined up in front of him, about something like "hack them to death", "chop them up", "take off every enemy's head as a night pot". Anyway, the Nord brothers eat this set, and you have to use analogies to say a lot of crepe speeches, and they think "you sissy is really noisy".

Of course, it can also be seen from this point that Uncle Ghost seems to be very confident in Lu Xi's new toy, so he began to line up. Once the walls are destroyed, it's time to charge.

Preparing for the first assault were 5,000 of the most elite Nord men, all heavily armored and carrying large swords. Ordinary humans can't even run if they wear such a suit, but they can still walk like a fly.

At this time, Uncle Otto also changed into a batch of very coquettish golden armor, wearing a dark red cloak embroidered with the three-headed dragon crest, and holding a double-edged broadsword in each hand, standing at the front of the team, the double swords in his hands kept fighting, knocking out the mottled sparks.

Then, he turned around and let out a thunderous battle cry against the city wall, which shook the four fields, as if suppressing the clamor of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the two armies. The golden-red whiskers were boiling and beating, literally like flames.

The Emperor of the Arnor Empire was always at the forefront of the charge, a tradition that had been in the Virgian Empire for many years. Lu Xi didn't think it was too much of a tradition to celebrate, but it was hard to say anything.

At such an important historical moment, many people expect Lu Xi to say something that will also be passed on to future generations in an important speech, right? However, he just put his hand on his forehead, looked at the city wall in the distance, and bowed slightly at the artillerymen.

Artillery Commander Grant let out a loud shout of "open fire", and under the gun position, a dwarf artilleryman began to wave two small red flags in his hand.

…… So, there's really no need to engage in so much formalism! If conditions permit, do you still have to hang some small buntings and ribbons and wait for me to cut the ribbon?

At the same time that the artillery pulled the mechanism, in the ancient era of the Gertha Empire, several shamans were panickingly operating these mechanisms that were too complicated for orcs to operate on a magic tower named after a subordinate god under the command of the god of tyranny and servitude.

In fact, after all these years, by now, even the smartest of these Orgrimmars have only learned the most basic steps such as opening, closing, and charging. As for how it operates inside, what is its structure, what is the principle of operation, which parts have reached the limit of service life, and where do they need to be overhauled and maintained...... Well, this is no less difficult for orcs than it is for the illiterate people of the Middle Ages to solve advanced mathematics.

"Haven't you finished charging yet? You've done it so many times, why are you still so unskilled! Pesa, the centaur sand in charge of the Bollinger, gritted his teeth and watched as he dragged them out one by one and hacked them to death. But the problem now is that even if he does it, he will not be able to immediately improve the efficiency if he does it himself.

"Master, look over there!" A guard watching from the top of the tower reminds the shaman loudly.

The centaur shaman rushed out the door, and his body, which looked too bloated indoors, knocked over several people in a row, along with all sorts of miscellaneous items and the like. When he finally climbed to the top of the tower, with his vision far beyond ordinary people, without the need for a telescope, he saw the super "giant" guide cannon that had completed all the preparations and was pointing the huge barrel into the sky obliquely.

“…… No, it's too late. The centaur shaman stamped his feet and yelled at his panicked men in the tower, "It's none of your business! Keep me up working! Don't get distracted! ”

Big deal! The people of the god of war have nothing to fear! Pesa said to herself.

The first firing of the Belencaster Cannon No. 1 instantly sent a cloud of smoke and dust up the hillside where it was located. For those around me, it was like an earthquake. There was no smoke coming out of the huge muzzle, but only a bright crimson light could be seen. Then, the barrel of the cannon turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the heat energy that was clearly converted into extremely strong kinetic energy instantly, and the metal barrel was burned red on the spot.

Immediately after, before the whistling sound of breaking the air sounded, the violently stirred ripples in the air directly formed circles of shock waves, spreading out in all directions.

The speed of the guided cannonball has always been above the speed of sound, and the 300,000 people in the entire fortress can barely capture the trajectory of the cannonball by about a single-digit person of extraordinary strength. However, even then, there is nothing they can do now. In just two seconds, the cannonball had already passed directly over the three-story city wall and smashed into the Bringe Tower. Then there was a dull loud thud, as if the sound of a hammer slamming on top of the felt was amplified a thousandfold.

Pesa, who was standing on the tower, did not react for a while. His short sense of hearing, and indeed all of his five senses, had been completely deprived of this roar. In the sudden dizziness and confusion, he looked at his subordinates who were also dazed, and just took a step, he felt as if he was stepping on a fragile building block.

"Whoa!" The Bollinger Tower, which had been standing beside the Thunder Cliff Fortress for 10,000 years, really began to fall apart like the most fragile building block.

Having forgotten that he was a powerful spellcaster and centaur assaulter, Pesa subconsciously reached for anything that could stabilize his body, but he grabbed a void and rolled with his men. A falling rock slammed directly into his head, once again completely depriving him of consciousness.

In less than a minute, the hundred-meter-high giant tower was completely reduced to a pile of ruins, and ten shamans, including an earth spirit shaman, plus a hundred soldiers who had fought it, were buried in the rubble, and they died in an instant.

"Perfect hit! Grant has made a meritorious service! Lu Xi patted villager A on the shoulder: "With this cannon, your name will inevitably be passed down to future generations." ”

Grant, who had always been very calm, did not deliberately hide the fanatical excitement on his face, and nodded vigorously, but still tried to say in the most calm tone: "Then, Your Excellency, please instruct the next target!" ”

In the army, Grant always referred to Lu Xi as "Your Excellency the Commander" rather than "Young Master". He is such a good boy with a clear distinction between public and private.

"The Bringe Tower has been destroyed, and the rest of the magic towers cannot threaten here for the time being...... Order, start bombarding the walls! ”

After just another two minutes of preparation, the elite artillerymen were able to re-clean, reload, and adjust the elevation angle of the Belencaster Cannon No. 1.

Compared with demolishing the tower, there is almost no difficulty in demolishing the city wall. Only a louder roar than just now was heard rising on the city wall, and the ancient runes left by the Gelsa people were also fully activated in an instant, forming a "buzzing" roar.

"Steady! They can destroy the tower, but they can't destroy the city...... Yes! "Defender of the Wall, Berun? Before Silverhoof could finish the flag, his feet were already empty. After trembling violently, the magic halo of the rune was like a light bulb that was finally returning to light, and suddenly it went out directly.

The wall carved with a huge relief on one side, the hideous beast relief facing the enemy outside, had a clear crack on its forehead, and then it widened little by little. Immediately afterwards, a huge amount of smoke and dust also rose directly on the city wall. Then, with the rubble that had lost its support, it sloped like a waterfall.

Berun lost the support under his feet and lost his center of gravity as the gravel fell. However, he was a little more lucky than Zi Pesa, and finally knew that he could reach out a hand and grasp the eaves next to him, which saved his life for the time being. But when he finally climbed to the top of the city wall that had not yet collapsed and stood up, he sat down again.

The breach has already appeared on the supposedly impregnable wall.

Inside and outside the fortress, the mighty battalions of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides fell silent for a moment at this moment, and then, the cheers like a tsunami boiled in the camp of the coalition forces.

"Yes, that's it! The Thunder Cliff Fortress was built by the Gersa people over many years, and the walls alone were expanded more than ten times. As long as we keep shooting like this, even if it's like peeling an egg, we can definitely destroy it completely! ”

The fat snow leopard shouted loudly beside Lu Xi. Aside from the last battle on the Sunset Ocean, this was probably the most enthusiastic Panarsis ever shown.

“…… Well, okay, okay, I see. Besides, Lao Pa, look at your hot and boiling appearance, you can probably charge into battle with me? ”

"This, this, little master, well, I feel like I've calmed down now. Also, as a commander, you should actually stand here gracefully and wait for the soldiers to deliver victory to you. Why rob a stormtrooper of his exploits? ”

"So Your Majesty Otto, plus the successive Emperors of Arnoor, are all vying for the merit of Captain Stormtroopers! Well, that's not good, old Pa, and I can ask you to go and counsel him now? ”

"Well, this is other people's cultural traditions, Lao Pa I think, it's not a wise way to talk about other people's cultural traditions...... It's true. ”

In short, no matter whether the fat snow leopard can follow Lu Xi again, such a good opportunity, of course, the coalition forces will not let it go. At this moment when the Belencaster I cannon fell into a short two-minute sage time, the phoenix crossbow, trebuchet, magic crystal cannon, and most importantly, the guide cannon, all began to fire a continuous salvo at this moment.

The magic runes of the city wall, which had already suffered the most serious blow, had not even had time to activate again, and the city wall continued to collapse with a roar. This scene, as the fat snow leopard said, is as if it is peeling eggs layer by layer.

Then, with the third roar of Gustav, ah no, Belencaster I, the cannonball hit almost the same point on the wall. After a loud bang, the huge wall tens of meters high swayed a few times as if it was in the center of an earthquake, and then, as if it had been stripped of all the skeletons that supported it inside, it collapsed little by little, and soon a gap more than ten meters wide appeared.

Rubble and dirt, along with the unfortunate corpses of the defenders, piled up directly on the gap, creating a natural gentle slope.

The cheers were already at their highest point at that moment. Emperor Otto raised his hands and kept cheering at the Nord soldiers behind him, causing everyone to respond loudly one after another.

"At this time, you guys roared at the last time when the sky was dark and the card was loaded, it would be very appropriate." Lu Xi thought.

Then, the allied soldiers, who had already done the civil work, pushed the mound of earth and continued to advance towards the city wall, like a large field of mighty ants.

"Lu Xi, let's ......" Lim drew two swords and was eager to try.

"Don't worry." Lu Xi shouted to everyone: "Grant, don't worry about the city wall for now, knock out all the names of those specially shaped giant towers for me." Sehirus, order our artillery, on the opposite side of the gap in the wall, to concentrate ten reapers, and a thousand leading gunners, ready to gather fire at any time! Lord Valerius, let all the air forces take off, and the last of the orcs should be ready to fight to the death! ”

After everyone was ordered to leave, Lu Xi casually gave the fat snow leopard lying behind him a gentle kick.

"Quick, get back to your intrepid do, I'm going to see you up close this time."
