Ten miles from the "Dragon's Point Heights", the forward headquarters of the Kitland-Kolas coalition was located on a hill. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The little lion princess is like a dexterous big cat, climbing up the tree to overlook the two train cannons that are advancing side by side at the foot of the hill, her ruddy little mouth opens into an O-shape, and she makes an exaggerated exclamation: "Wow~~ That's Brother Roland's sledgehammer?" It's amazing! ”

"It's Roland's Hammer." Beowulf corrected his daughter's pronunciation, and he couldn't hide his surprise when he looked at the train cannon.

"No wonder Mr. Rudolph is confident that he will take the Dragon's Point Heights without a single soldier, it turns out that there is such a secret weapon." Lady Natasha said with a smile.

Rudolph's face was not so relaxed, and he took the telescope from Roland's hand to observe the Dragon Point Heights opposite, and the dense armored turrets reflected the glare of the morning sun. He had heard of the "Train Cannon" as a weapon when he was in the Imperial Military Department, so he did not object when Roland wrote to him suggesting that he try to build a Train Cannon at the Icewind Dale Arsenal. Thanks to the blessing of Moradin, the "God of Forging", the dwarven craftsmen worked hard for more than half a year under the personal leadership of the Lord of Bratu, and actually made two decent train cannons. But Rudolph was not yet at ease, especially about the strength of the train gun. In order to facilitate the transportation of these two behemoths, they had to be designed into a structure that could be split and combined, but this structure would inevitably damage the strength of the cannon, and now it looks like a rock, will it collapse after the cannon is fired, will it fall apart? Rudolph didn't know the bottom of his mind.

"Roland, what do the warlocks you invited from White Gull Harbor think of the train cannon?" Rudolph put down his binoculars and asked his son beside him.

"Mr. Kafta supervised all the processes involved in the assembly of the cannon, and according to his professional evaluation, the train cannon was destroyed by the recoil after firing a maximum of five times, and the barrel must have been the first to disintegrate with the screwed construction - and caused irreparable damage." Roland candidly points out the fatal flaw of the train gun.

"That is to say, in the best case, these two train guns can only fire ten shells, but even if all ten cannons hit the Longjiao Heights, they will not be able to destroy all the armored batteries, and then some of them will have a headache." Beowulf smiled wryly.

Rudolph snorted sneeringly: "So we took great pains to drag these two big burdens up the plateau just to fire ten shots at the opposite side, and then put our hands in our pockets and whistle in the hope that the enemy would be frightened and automatically disarmed?" ”

Natasha noticed that the atmosphere was getting colder, and smiled and encouraged the men to be optimistic: "Ladies and gentlemen, please note that our enemy does not know that the train cannon cannot fire continuously, and if you take a few shots, you may really be frightened to raise the white flag and surrender." ”

"We can't rule it out, but we don't need to pin our hopes of victory on intimidation." Roland said calmly, "The warlock from Baiou Harbor will strengthen the structural strength of the train cannon for us, with the assistance of this professional team, the two train guns will fire 100 shells in a row without failure, and it only takes 3~5 minutes from loading the shell to completing the launch." ”

"That's pretty much it." Rudolph smiled with relief and raised his binoculars again to look at the Dragon's Point Heights.

At this time, the position below was already a busy scene. Kafta led a team of mechanics to climb up and down the two cannons, seizing the time to make one last check to make sure all the parts were assembled and reinforced with mechanical techniques. Similar to temporary enchantments, most of the tricks used to enhance the construct are measured in minutes, and Tafka and his nine assistants not only prepared a lot of tricks to ensure that the two train cannons kept firing, but also pre-built some magic guides in case they were needed.

Yuri Popov was not idle, and with a loud voice, he commanded the sappers to fix the gun position. Considering the extreme recoil of the train cannon, which needed to be pulled with a large number of elastic enchanted pisos and secured with iron stakes, the piling was left to the tall and strong Kitlander Bear Totem Warriors.

When everything was ready, Yuri Popov waved a red flag at the hill where the front command was located, asking for a cannon shot.

Rudolph raised his hand, and the herald beside him immediately skillfully waved the flag: "Permission to fire!" ”

There are three main methods of communication for the Kolas Army, using "SMS" and "Communication Stones" in emergencies or when the distance is too long, and using horns, whistles and signal flags to communicate within visual range. In order to maintain contact at night or in other conditions that obstruct vision, the signal flags are pre-enchanted to activate the "Flame of Immortality" when necessary, and the glowing flags are swaying in the early morning twilight and can be seen clearly from miles apart.

In the Dragon Horn Heights, Andrea vaguely saw a magic cold flame flickering on the opposite side, and couldn't help but change her face, and hurriedly turned back to warn those guys who were still watching the excitement on the battlefield: "Get down!" ”

The composition of the garrison on the Dragon Horn Heights was complicated, and only a few from the Dragon Vein Corps, including Anton and Zoya, lay down on the spot without thinking when they heard the warning of the "eldest sister", and the other half-dragon creatures were still hesitating. At this moment, two muffled thunderous roars came from the opposite position, and the electric light from the giant cannon was as bright as an aurora, stinging the eyeballs of all witnesses in an instant.

Two 1,000-pound shells flew into the air, their shells rubbing against the atmosphere to form two long bands of orange-red light, like comets streaking across the sky.

Andrea half-knelt behind a turret and looked up at the approaching "comet". At the same time, the eyes of tens of thousands of people on both sides were also focused on the two huge shells that roared and jumped thousands of feet into the air, and moved downward as the shells turned over the highest point.

Behind the clouds in the sky, Tamara saw the scene of the train firing through the crystal ball, and her eyes moved with the flight trajectory of the cannonballs, and she watched the two cannonballs fall behind the hillside one after another across the high ground, and after the roar, thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the fire lit up the sky.

On the heights of Dragon Horn, the moment the explosion sounded, Andrea had already covered her ears, still dizzy from the terrifying shock wave that shook her ears and buzzed her ears. Hurriedly turning back to look at the place where the cannonballs had landed, the storm, the fire, and the smoke and dust gathered into a mushroom cloud were truly shocking. Although both shells crossed the heights without causing any damage, they were powerful enough to deter the defenders on the heights, and to chill the hearts of those who thought they could rest easy with the protection of forts and batteries.

When the cannon sounded, it was not only the garrison on the high ground that was strongly shocked, but also the people on the opposite Kitland-Kolas joint position were also deeply shocked, and suddenly realized that they were only playing a supporting role in the upcoming battle, and the main forces that really shouldered the heavy responsibility of attacking the city were the two invincible "Roland hammers"!
