With the intense preparation of the gunners, one cannon after another has been installed, a full 20 6-pounder cavalry guns and 4 24-pounder Guards infantry guns, all of which have been aimed at the thick walls of the undead city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the city walls, a large number of skeleton warriors were walking back and forth unconsciously, and once Chopin and them directly attacked the city, the sea of skeletons composed of these undead spirits would instantly overwhelm them.

Chopin had always thought that these undead skeletons were dead creatures that did not have the slightest mood swings and would not use wisdom to think, but these were only for those low-level undead skeletons, and those high-level skeletons encountered along the way, such as the "Skeleton Knight King", were obviously full of mood swings.

And what about the more advanced or special undead skeletons? Naturally, they are not so simple, perhaps they have a unique way of thinking and intelligence, and they are not even inferior to humans.

Whether it is the construction of this exquisite undead city in front of him, or the detailed distribution of the undead skeletons on the city wall at this time, it obviously shows that among these group of undead skeletons, there is at least a relatively special existence, and his wisdom has even surpassed that of ordinary humans, and the most likely existence among them is the controller of this undead city.

"If you want to break through this undead city, I'm afraid that this time I'm going to bleed hemorrhage."

Looking at the undead skeletons on the city wall that were still changing directions, Chopin's brows couldn't help but furrow.

He naturally knew what the difference was between dealing with a group of undead skeletons without wisdom and dealing with a group of undead armies under the command of wise men!

If he only needs to pay the price of 1,000 soldiers killed in battle against the former, then against the latter, this number will at least multiply several times, and the balance of victory in the war may not be tilted in favor of their side, and whether he can achieve the final victory is two words.

"It's just that the power of firearms ...... I'm afraid it's not what you can imagine, let alone what you can resist. ”

Looking at the seemingly ordinary cannon behind him, Chopin's originally dignified expression suddenly soothed a lot.

Whether it is dealing with those cannon fodder who are like skeleton warriors, or dealing with extremely strong individuals like the "Skeleton Knight King" whose strength has faintly exceeded the upper limit of Chopin's cognition, the power that artillery can vent is undoubtedly extremely shocking, and the effect of artillery hitting the enemy has never disappointed Chopin.

An existence as strong as the "Skeleton Knight King", which can dodge artillery fire and even carry shells, finally fell under the continuous roar of more than 20 artillery pieces.

"All gunners, prepare!"

It was only a dozen breaths before and after, but the thoughts in Chopin's heart flickered many times.

In such a siege war, artillery is undoubtedly the absolute protagonist.

In fact, not only in siege warfare, but also in the history of modern warfare, whether it is an encounter in the field or a confrontation between warships at sea, it is necessary to rely on the firepower of artillery, a weapon of great destruction.

In the history of modern warfare, artillery may not be the most important branch of the army, but at least it is one of them, and it is an absolutely indispensable branch of the army.

The world in which Chopin once lived, the gate of the last feudal dynasty, was opened by the Western powers with artillery.

One of the fundamental differences between the two sides is the advanced level of firearms, and one of the most obvious gaps is the artillery used to attack fortified positions.

But at this time, in this other world, in this undead space where I don't know where I belong, the roar of artillery rang out again.

As it exploded like thunder in the Nine Heavens, the sky, the earth, and even this undead space seemed to begin to tremble involuntarily.

As Chopin's order was given, the faces of a gunner also involuntarily became solemn.

Although they did not know as well as Chopin the significance of the battle, they may have sensed something for these sensitive French soldiers.

At Chopin's order, a gunner began to skillfully stuff the wrapped gunpowder into the chamber, stab it to the bottom with a wooden pole, and then stuff the cannonball into the blackened bronze tube.

These ordinary soldiers were holding the shells with some difficulty in one hand, but under the impetus of the explosive force of the gunpowder expansion, they could easily be pushed out to a distance of thousands of meters!

At the same time that these artillerymen were nervously loading their artillery, the cavalry, as a mobile force and the main force responsible for protecting the safety of the artillery, once again carried out a systematic search in all directions with the artillery position as the center.

Who knows if there will be any special abilities in these undead skeletons, whether they will lurk in silence, and they must ensure the safety of these artillery and artillery.

As the elite cavalry of the French Empire, they naturally knew that the protagonists of this battle were not them, but those artillerymen, which was the key to whether they could win this battle.

Chopin's gaze scanned around him, and then he slowly drew the standard sword on his body, and then the silver cold light fell gently like a crescent moon.

"Open fire."

Chopin's voice was calm and powerful, but with the determination and will to tear everything apart.

As Chopin's loud voice sounded, an artilleryman who had been ready for a long time also immediately moved, and then the tongs, which had already been burned hot, came into contact with the thick linen fire ropes.

"Sneer, sneer—"

The coarse linen firewire was lit at first, but then it was followed by a series of small, rapid slight crackling sounds, and as the foul black smoke rose, tiny flames quickly rose from the end of the firerope.

In the blink of an eye, the faint spark, which was originally swaying like a candle in the wind, turned into a bright light in the blink of an eye.

Then, under the madness of this flame beast, the coarse linen rope that had been soaked in grease in advance continued to turn into black ashes as the fire became brighter and brighter.

Then, in an instant, the flames went straight into the tiny hole.

At the same moment, in the medicine room, with the extension of the flame light, the copper bump, which was originally motionless like a docile sheep, suddenly turned into a ferocious beast.

After igniting the artillery, one of the gunners also quickly retreated, and then one by one they covered their ears with their hands, but their eyes were extremely hot looking at the cannons, as if they were looking at "some holy miracle, and a strange flush appeared on their faces."

There were more than 20 cannons, but at this moment, they all vibrated together, and the bronze barrel became extremely hot in an instant, and then with the thunderous roar, the black phantoms also tore the sky like lightning, and it seemed that all the rage and restlessness had been completely vented at this moment.

"Boom-"

"Boom Boom!"

Cannonballs flew out of the black and pressed copper pipes, falling from the sky like meteors with a speed that was difficult for human eyes to distinguish, short and gorgeous, bright and dazzling.

However, the undead skeletons on the city wall did not know at all, and the scythe of death had long been hanging above their heads.

But even if they knew that these undead skeletons had no idea what death and pain were, they would be indifferent and would only follow their instincts mechanically.

Although the wall of the undead in front of him was heavy, it was impossible to resist the attack of the explosive shells, and the impact force carried by the cannonballs under the force of the explosion of gunpowder expansion was comparable to the impact force generated by a car driving at full speed

, I'm afraid it won't be much inferior.

"Boom!"

The first cannonball fell, and although it carried a lot of broken stones, it was like a stone falling from the rough surface of a lake, and it caused a small ripple, which was nothing to the whole thick wall.

However, after landing, the black powder filled in the shell caused secondary damage.

The violent qi wave swept wildly, and under the action of this turbulent qi wave, the splintered stones that danced at high speed were like extremely sharp blades, frantically cutting the bodies of the undead skeletons around them.

But all this is just the beginning.

Immediately after that, the second, third...... One by one, the shells easily crossed a distance of several hundred meters, and with a sharp whistling sound, they fell with a bang.

With each shell falling, the entire city wall, along with the heavy earth, seemed to tremble.

However, the power of these 6-pounder cavalry guns was a little small compared to the 24-pounder Guards infantry guns.

Every shell that came out of the 24-pounder Guards Infantry gun fell like a giant giant, raising its fist like a giant hammer, and then ...... Slammed into the walls.

Each relentless hammer blow swept away a corner of the heavy walls, followed by thick artillery smoke, dusty dirt, and flying rubble.

Although not deliberate, these bursting bombs, which were originally focused on bombarding the city walls, were equally fatal to the casualties caused by these skeleton warriors.

And the frenzied catharsis of the fire of the twenty-four cannons, while peeling off the corners of the heavy walls around the undead city, also quickly deprived those undead skeletons of their lives.

An undead skeleton didn't even realize what was going on, and its vision swirled in a whirlwind, and then its seemingly tough body turned into a pile of bone slag in an instant.

After a round of shooting, there were more potholes and wounds of different sizes on the thick city wall, although it seemed that as long as a few more rounds of shooting, the heavy city wall in front of him would collapse, but Chopin knew very well that he really wanted to knock down the city wall, and he didn't know how many times it would take for such a level of artillery to roar.

At a distance of nearly a thousand meters, even those elite-level undead archers on the city wall could not shoot bone arrows so far, and as for those melee troops on the city wall, it was even more so, so at this time, these undead skeletons could only passively follow this stormy attack.

After a round of fire, one of the gunners nervously began to reload the shells.

"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-"

As the thick smoke rose again, the roar of the artillery also resounded in full swing on the dark earth.

The blazing light appeared in an instant, directly tearing the disc and releasing the canopy of crystal light, at this moment, the light of the entire undead world seemed to have dimmed a lot, as if the cannonballs that flew out were the real protagonists of this world.

The demons who were originally bound in the endless darkness were melted by the blazing flames of the steel prison door that trapped them, and these bloody and brutal demons crawled out of the abyss of hell again, and their hideous faces were completely revealed at this moment.

The distance of time and space seems to be compressed to the extreme at this moment, and at a distance of nearly a thousand meters, the cannonballs that fly out are coming in an instant.

The high-speed spinning lead bullet easily slashed through the void like a sharp blade, bringing out bursts of sharp whistling, like an ultimatum sent by the Grim Reaper before death, making people feel deep horror and despair.

"Click, click, click—"

Fragments of stones continued to collapse from the heavy city wall, and the city wall, which was already difficult to withstand the huge impact of artillery, was even more embarrassed under the secondary destruction caused by the explosion of black powder.

As one burst bomb after another continued to fall, the bodies of the undead skeletons were also overwhelmed and completely collapsed.

And the flickering white points of light happily absorbed the falling soul fires, and then dragged them all to the Holy Cross hanging around Chopin's neck.

Round after round of artillery fire, each cannon was on the verge of exploding, but the city wall in front of him, which had long seemed to be crumbling, still stood proudly on the ground.

When another round of firing was over, Chopin hurriedly asked his artillery to stop firing, and if this continued, this scene of the cannon was afraid that it would explode, and such a price was by no means something he could afford.

It's just that what Chopin didn't expect was that the residual smoke after the artillery fire had not completely dissipated, and the gate of the undead city, which was originally closed, was suddenly opened.

Then the dense and colorful undead troops began to rush outward like a tide, and depending on the situation, it was obvious that they were coming straight to the artillery position.

In addition to the skeletal warriors and skeleton archers surging over like a tide, the number of skeleton knights, as far as Chopin could see at a glance, I am afraid that it is no less than three hundred, and as for the rest of the various undead elite troops combined, I am afraid that there are no less than thousand!

And at this moment, all the undead skeleton soul fire is imprinted with one goal: destroy the artillery position!
