In order to ensure that the shock effect of the artillery fire was maximized, Chopin gave the order to fire continuously at the beginning, and then the first to fire were eight 12-pounder infantry guns.

After a round of shooting, the boulder that had been standing as a target in the area exploded, and as the rising stars burst into flames, a large amount of rubble flew in all directions, like feathered arrows, sending out a sharp whistling that pierced the air.

While the smoke was still in the air, the roar of four 24-pounder Guards infantry guns immediately resounded into the sky.

In the past, France, as a recognized artillery power on the European continent, naturally had a strength that should not be underestimated.

As the strongest artillery of France in the whole war of the Empire, the power of the 24-pounder Guards infantry gun can be imagined.

"Boom-"

With the first shrill roar, then a little orange fire flashed at the edge of the blackened muzzle, and then the ground began to shake wildly like thousands of iron horsemen.

The moment before the iron ball came into contact with the ground, time seemed to stop passing, and all the noise around it seemed to disappear at this moment, and then like a meteorite falling to the ground, the thick soil was lifted out in an instant, and then centered on the place where the iron ball landed, dense cracks like spider webs quickly spread in all directions.

While Dott was still silent on the devastation caused by the 24-pounder Guards infantry cannon, the four guns with special patterns engraved on the back suddenly bloomed even more brightly.

As it exploded like thunder in the nine heavens, the sky, the earth, and even the entire city of Paris seemed to tremble involuntarily.

Then, the flames rise, the flames are monstrous, the thunder roars, and the dust rises, which is the romance of artillery!

And the artillery that can cause such terrifying power is, of course, the unicorn cannon!

The rising iron ball hovered in mid-air like a scorching sun, and then with a deafening roar, the apocalyptic scene surged.

Purely in terms of power, even the 24 Guards Infantry Guns of the French Empire could not compare to this big guy.

This thing is simply a bug-like existence in the whole war of the empire, it doesn't make any sense at all, if you shoot it in one round, whatever you do, it will be destroyed.

In 1756, the Russian Martinov invented a kind of "unicorn" cannon with a barrel length between a howitzer and a cannon, which can be fired both horizontally and flexibly, and the smoothbore cannon named after the unicorn cannon, which is engraved with a unicorn cannon, can be regarded as the prototype of the earliest howitzer, and its barrel length is 10 times the caliber.

The unicorn gun has the ballistic characteristics of both a cannon and a howitzer, the barrel length caliber ratio is between 39 and 45, and the ballistic characteristics are close to those of the cannon when using a large firing charge and a small firing angle; When using a small charge and a large angle of fire, the ballistic characteristics are close to those of howitzers.

Because the cannon is as powerful as the legendary unicorn, the unicorn mark is engraved on the cannon and named the unicorn cannon.

Frederick's line was blown apart by it, the Polish iron cavalry was blown away by it, the Turkish artillery was blown into parts by it, the ears of Tsar Alexander I were deafened by him, and even the columns of the great French majesty were shattered by it.

In the whole war of the Empire, the first private, naturally, was the old guard of France, there is no doubt about this.

However, there is a lot of controversy about whether the First Artillery is a 24-pounder Guards infantry gun or a unicorn gun.

The Guards Infantry Cannon is known for its fastness, accuracy, and ruthlessness, while the Unicorn Cannon is a true battlefield machine, and there is basically nothing to stop it from firing several volleys.

As gorgeous as fireworks, as bright as a meteor!

The thick smoke of gunpowder continued to rise, transforming into a hideous face like a devil in mid-air, and the picture seemed to be frozen forever at this moment.

"How is that possible? How could it be ......"

Dot's eyes stared at this scene, his mouth kept muttering to himself, and the whole person was almost crazy.

After half a ring, it seemed that he had lost all his strength, and Dort's body was half leaning against the wall, his eyes looking dull and empty, just his mouth, still chattering.

The appearance of artillery let him know that the old era is over, and a new era is about to begin!

However, for many people, it may not be a new beginning, but more likely, the beginning of a nightmare.

The few people who followed behind Dott were also completely sluggish at this time, they never thought that the inconspicuous weapon in front of them would have such a devastating power, no matter how strong those undead warriors were, with these weapons, there was absolutely no problem to deal with.

At the same time, the artillerymen on the city wall, at this time, all appeared on their faces, and they were also strangely flushed.

It's excitement, it's pride, it's pride, and it's the romance of artillery!

As the embers of the artillery fire gradually dispersed, the previously obscured sky once again revealed its washed-out blue color.

The smell of gunsmoke still lingered in the air, and the inhabitants of the Empire watching from afar could not help but applaud at this time, and the atmosphere reached a climax in an instant, and then the clamour, noisy and enthusiastic chanting spread throughout the city of Paris.

It was pride, pride and affection for one's country.

*********

The effect of this whimsical artillery drill was much better than Chopin had originally anticipated.

The power of the artillery catharsis not only completely convinced Dort and others, but also made the residents of Paris enthusiastic, and the artillery, which received unprecedented attention in the course of this exercise, even after most of the artillery exercise, fell into an extremely excited state.

Even after the busy sailors and pirate slaves around them indirectly witnessed this shocking and desperate scene, most of them gave up their past thoughts of escape and resigned themselves to their fate, which was the power of the gods, and they absolutely could not resist existence.

Only a very small number of pirates and slaves are still unwilling to spend their lives like this, and there is still a fluke mentality, but at this time, they all hide those thoughts in the deepest part of their hearts, quietly waiting for the opportunity to come.

On the evening after the artillery drill, after a long day of hesitation, Dort finally had a secret meeting with Chopin.

Then, the maple-leaf-like drifting island began to sail at full speed towards the "Spark City".

"Bang!"

The wooden door creaked open, and then slammed back.

"My lord, have you negotiated?"

Seeing Dott return, several people who had a good relationship with him immediately gathered around him to inquire about the results.

"Hmm."

Dott nodded, but his interest was not very high, his eyebrows looked a little tired, and his unpredictable eyes revealed a bit of confusion and hesitation.

When he saw the incomparably terrifying power displayed by the artillery, Dot's first thought was not to use such power against those undead warriors, but to have any chance of winning if the "Shengyao" Kingdom faced these artillery.

Then what made Dott extremely frustrated was that he turned around in his mind with many strategies and tactics, and it was basically impossible to pose any threat to the other party, and as for defeating them, there was only a theoretical possibility.

Therefore, after seeing the power of artillery, Dott was extremely hesitant, but the words of the next few attendants still made Dott make this extremely difficult decision.

The other party has the strength to defeat Corderson, and Dott has no doubts at this time, but after they defeat Colderson, who knows if these guys will occupy the "Spark City"?

However, at this time, if you want to ask for help from the "Iron Tower" kingdom, it is obviously too late, if there are no more reinforcements, "Spark City" is afraid that it will really be breached.

Therefore, for Dort, there is no superfluous choice at this time, either believe in Chopin, the other party may occupy the "Spark City" after defeating Coldson's side, or it is possible to stick to the previous agreement and not make any moves against the "Spark City", or unwilling to accept the other party's assistance, and the "Spark City" was directly broken by Coldson's army.

At this time, what is in front of Dott is nothing more than these two roads, and which road should be taken, Dott naturally knows at this time, even if that road is full of thorns and may suffer countless scoldings in the future, for him, he must grit his teeth and take a step.

For Chopin, it didn't really matter whether Dott agreed to his "request" or not, because in any case, he was determined to get rid of the thousands of "Knights of Trial" and those elite soldiers under Colderson.

The reason why such a request was made and agreed to Dott was only to make it more convenient and more justifiable.

Before the official battle with Fordes, if they can cut off some of the opponent's wings, Chopin and their side will undoubtedly have a great advantage in the next official confrontation between the two sides.

Because he knew some information that had been lost in the long river of history, Chopin naturally knew very well what the power that Earl Fordson had at hand at this time, and it was precisely because he was extremely clear that he would be extremely jealous of the other party.

The collision between the two sides, whether Chopin wants it or not, is actually unavoidable, since this is the case, he naturally chooses to take the initiative and reduce part of the opponent's strength first.

**********

When the dazzling scorching sun put away the last rays of afterglow, the deep night also arrived as scheduled.

It was as if boundless ink was heavily smeared on the sky, and the entire Endless Sea was wrapped in darkness at this time.

And what is still releasing brilliant brilliance is only the brilliant galaxy and the jade disk-like moon.

The mirror-like moon hung in the air, composing its silver brilliance on the earth, like a silver veil covering the layers of mountains.

And under this splendid galaxy, a tragic battle has gradually come to an end.

"Don't rush, don't retreat, prepare, shoot-"

Looking at the surging enemy army in front of him, one of the commanders on the city wall shouted fiercely, and then an archer with feathered arrows loosened their tight bowstrings.

"Whoosh-"

In an instant, dense arrows were thrown down from mid-air like locusts, and as if to echo them, more than a dozen bed crossbows were also ready on the bloodstained city wall, and the amazing momentum seemed to have reached its peak in an instant.

And if the soldiers defending the city on the city wall are as fast as meteors, then the siege troops below are showing that they are as immobile as a mountain at this time.

The moment he noticed the volley of feathered arrows, the soldiers who rushed to the forefront had raised their shields, and the sound of feathered arrows falling behind the shield was immediately heard.

But at this moment, a sharp and strange sharp whistling suddenly sounded, and then a dozen black shadows shot at these siege soldiers with an extremely decisive attitude before they could react.

The shield that could have blocked the shot of the feather arrow was completely vulnerable in front of this black shadow.

The wooden shield only touched slightly, and it turned into countless broken pieces, even if it was an iron shield, it was bent and broken at the moment of contact, and then the huge impact force rushed towards the siege soldiers behind through the first figure of the impact, and after several figures were knocked away in a row, the violent power gradually dissipated.

And with the shooting of giant crossbow arrows, blood-colored flowers also bloomed in the dense crowd.

"It's a bed crossbow!"

Among the siege soldiers, some roared angrily, but these soldiers did not flinch in the slightest because of the threat of the bed crossbow, but continued to rush over, but the originally dense camp was scattered a lot in an instant.

"Kill—"

For a moment, the only thing that filled the world was the terrible roar.

After half a ring, as the night deepened, this tragic fierce battle slowly stopped.

As the tide of siege troops retreated, the soldiers on the "Spark City" couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The fierce battle that lasted for a day made the nerves of all the soldiers tense like springs all the time, and they did not dare to relax at all, because any lack of attention to details could lead to the loss of life.

When Mayne climbed the wall, the rain-washed wall was dyed bloody again.

Except for some of the soldiers who still used the light of the torches to guard against the other party's attack, most of the soldiers on the city wall had already put down their blades at this time, and sat down on the ground like puppets one by one, revealing a huge blankness between their eyebrows.

For a whole day of fierce fighting, the pressure on these soldiers, both physically and psychologically, can be imagined.

When the companions next to them fell one after another, the emotions of these soldiers were no longer the initial compassion, they just relied on a breath, they have been gritting their teeth and persevering, but what they are insisting on, and why they are still insisting, they don't know, and they don't dare to think about it, because all they insist on is just relying on this breath, and once they think too much, or figure it out, maybe they will not continue to grit their teeth and insist.

Mayne looked at all this in silence, he knew that these soldiers were about to be cornered, and no one knew how long they could hold out.
