Twelve cannons, in fact, this is not the limit that Dane can take out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info There's a whole artillery workshop in his White Wolf Castle. It's just that these ordinary alchemy cannons made by the artillery workshop now are really not very practical in war. He also did a special test, no need to be high, as long as there is a sixth-level priest, he can completely block the three shells of a cannon with the protective magic technique.

Hell, artillery is not very mobile, it is cumbersome to reload, and its aiming is also limited. It may be better to bombard unprotected units, but when it comes to a relatively high-end battlefield, the role that can be played is really not strong.

As a result, although Dane also prepared some artillery in the army, he actually did not have too much equipment, and the output of many artillery workshops was used to arm ships and sold. And, to be honest, the sales of artillery are actually average, and many warlords don't really want to buy them, and those who are really willing to buy them are also some who run the sea business.

After all, the ocean is where artillery is a weapon that can really be used.

Of course, artillery is not so useful in field battles, but when it comes to sieges, it is still a good weapon against such things as walls and gates, at least better than the more unreliable trebuchet.

And the iron nail post that lacks countermeasures is really suffering.

Almost an afternoon of shelling had smashed the iron nail wall, which was not very strong, and was full of holes. There are several sections of the city wall that have been heavily attacked, as well as the city gates that were originally the focus of the attack, and they are even a little crumbling.

In the city of Iron Nail Gang, which has been beaten for a day, it can be said that people are panicking now.

The new Overseer of Nail Guard, Dempsey, sat in his seat with a sad face, grabbing his hair. His already Mediterranean sparse hairstyle, it is estimated that if he continues to worry like this, I am afraid that he will have to become a bald man before the iron nail city is broken.

But where does he still have the heart to take care of his hair now? If he can keep the iron nail post, even if he is made bald immediately, he will never say anything.

Unfortunately not.

Every time he heard the earth-shattering cannon sound, his heart trembled.

"Lord Overseer, let's withdraw." The state of the staff officer next to him is not much better than his.

"Withdraw?" Dempsey smiled bitterly, "I don't want to withdraw......"

He did have the idea of retreating, but he didn't dare.

He was a veteran, and compared to his aggressive, adventurous predecessor, he was much more calm in his ability to command armies in battle. For some of Gusha's choices when he was in office, Dempsey was quite unhappy. Especially a few months ago, when he participated in the battle between Malone and Dane, he chose such a radical way to try to annihilate Dane's main force in one fell swoop, but the annihilation failed, and the troops he brought were all wiped out.

It's a model of death.

He just died, but left this mess for himself.

In the months since taking office, Dempsey has been on the lookout. The more he learned about Dane's strength, the more uneasy he felt. He desperately complained to the Governor of Conrie, asking for more support and more troops, and finally he was satisfied until he overturned the Governor Conrie, promised to give him more troops, and first sent a squadron of battroopers to him.

But who knows, reinforcements are still on the way, and there will be drastic changes in the north.

When news came from within the forces of the Governor of Conley that they were going to take action against Ice Cave City, Dempsey knew that the battle for Nail Gang was about to begin. He felt that even if Dane on the other side was stupid, it was impossible for him to be indifferent at this time. At the same time, he also received an order from the Governor of Kangli: no matter what, hold the iron nail post!

He counted on his fingers, and in a few days, the Batrider squadron had already arrived. The formation of the air cavalry is not the same as the ground forces, the number is less than half, and the squadron size of the air cavalry is only thirty. This is not a large number, but Dempsey understands the role of air cavalry in warfare.

In this case, it shouldn't be difficult to hold on for a week, right?

In a week's time, reinforcements of 3,000 soldiers, which had been on the road from Sinderella for some time, would arrive, so that the task of holding the city would not be so difficult. He was sure that with six thousand regular troops in his hands, plus some cannon fodder temporarily recruited, he was sure that he could play with Dane. Even if you can't beat it, at least you can hold on for a long time, and when the situation on your side is tight, you won't ignore it if you want to come to the Governor's side, and there will definitely be further support on the scene.

In this way, Dempsey is ready for a long battle with Dane.

But who knows, before the official battle has started, the bat squadron that he relies on has almost wiped out the family?

After hearing that the six griffons had wiped out an entire squadron of batriders on his side, he looked at the few frightened cavalrymen who were still alive after the defeat, and he was stunned for a long time.

Beforehand, he had heard the news that Dane was assembling his own air cavalry - the griffons that often flew up in the sky over Castle White Wolf lately, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to. However, Dempsey didn't worry about this, the griffin cavalry, although it has a great reputation, it is also a notoriously difficult to train and expensive class. He didn't think that this kind of class could be trained quickly.

As a result, how long has it been? One month? This cavalry is already an army?

If you become an army, you will become an army, six, there shouldn't be a lot of them, right? But this combat power is also a bit too strong!

He had heard of griffons, but had never seen them with his own eyes. In his mind, it was a class that was more powerful than the Governor of Ozer's saberfalcon cavalry, but it was also very powerful. Six to thirty, this ratio is too exaggerated!

Now, he really didn't know how to defend the city. People have cannons, they only have bed crossbows, and there are no means of countermeasures; I thought I could control the sky, but now it has become the world of the five griffins, and their own batriders don't even dare to take off during the day, and it is estimated that they can only sneak out at night, but they can only pass on messages, and they are afraid that they will not be able to come back if they are caught by the family when they do reconnaissance.

This city cannot be defended!

As a veteran, he can't see that his side does not have an advantage in all aspects, and this battle is really winn. He really had the heart to retreat.

But when he thought about the military order he had made in front of the Governor of Conry before coming to the Iron Nail Post, he couldn't help but shudder—if he went back like this, he probably wouldn't be able to save his life. (To be continued.) )
