Chapter 341. The infinite roar of artillery

The artillery was all in place, and the twenty 24-pounder light cannons had all been aimed at the front, and the castle of the dead eight hundred meters away, according to the basic trajectory, was aimed in the direction of the upper part of the city wall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Because on it, bronze skeletons are walking back and forth, densely packed with city walls and towers, whether it is a bronze-level skeleton warrior or a bronze-level skeleton archer, they have been lined up on the city wall, and it seems that they are also waiting for Levi's siege.

"Heh, if that's right, they're waiting?"

Wilmot had already left his horse and stood behind twenty cannons, looking up at the city wall in front of him, the gathered undead skeletons, and couldn't help but take a deep breath: "This is waiting for us to attack!" ”

"yes." Green was also beside him, looking at the castle built of dark stone in front of him, and the countless white skeletons hanging on it, which seemed to be ornaments, his face was still heavy, and he slowly spoke: "These evil undead are definitely not skeletons without wisdom. ”

"At the very least, their commanders are able to think about war."

Nodding, Wilmot also had a bit of solemnity on his face, and slowly turned his head to look at the town militia on the edge of the road on both sides, who were guarding with flintlock pistols, and couldn't help frowning: "It's a pity that our flintlock pistol." ”

The flintlock pistol is a weapon that is incredibly powerful against flesh-and-blood creatures, after all, the fragmentation of lead bullets, the killing of internal organs and muscles, and the pain transmitted by nerves to the brain, are also one of the greatest killing effects of this weapon, and it is more subtle and intimidating than weapons such as bows and crossbows.

But they also know that muskets like flintlock pistols are actually not so effective against skeletons. This group of skeletons has no muscles and blood vessels at all, let alone nerves and painful sensations!

"The protagonist this time is the Barbary pirates, and they can do it."

Green nodded slightly, looking at the pirates behind him who were already eager to try, waiting for the siege to be launched, his face was also a little solemn. In close quarters, and even in siege warfare, the Barbary pirates, no matter how fierce they were, would have suffered a lot of casualties in the face of the towering walls and skeletons who didn't know what death and fear were.

Wilmot seemed to sense Green's thoughts, and he exhaled slowly, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "Siege battle, how can there be no tragedy?" ”

"yes."

Green also smiled unusually, but his face became more and more solemn, looking at the twenty artillery pieces that were all ready in front of him and waiting for his orders, he also lowered his voice and said: "Everyone, prepare!" ”

This is the sound of launching a general attack, and it is also the moment when Green and the twenty guns come on the field, Wilmot took two steps back slightly, and the faces of the Barbary pirates were even more fanatical, but the gunners of the twenty guns had solemn faces, and it was time for them to show their strength.

"Reload the artillery!"

The sound sounded, and the gunners quickly stuffed the gunpowder bag into the barrel of the cannon in order, and after pressing the gunpowder vigorously with the cannon brush, they stuffed the round solid shell into the dark barrel.

The thick arquebus has been cut out and stuffed into a fire door behind the tail of the gun, and it also happens to be in contact with the powder pack, as long as the fire rope quickly burns into the fire door and ignites in the powder chamber containing the powder bag, then the cannon will burst into a violent force.

The inflated force will easily push the front, the heavy cannonball that requires one person and two arms to pick up, to a distance of thousands of meters, and the inertia and power contained in it will also crush everything in front of you!

"Reloaded!"

The artillerymen quickly got up, and a series of movements did not take more than a minute, and the twenty guns that had been filled and were ready to fire at any time had already raised their muzzles and adjusted their firing boundaries to aim at the castle of the undead in front.

Green's face was heavy, but his eyes were a little more satisfied, the cadets who came out of the Royal Spanish Artillery Academy were all first-class excellent artillerymen, and looking at the castle of the undead in front of him, which seemed to be calm, as if he was waiting for work with ease, and was full of confidence, his hand was already on the cavalry sword on his waist.

"Whew-"

The cavalry sword was slowly pulled out, and the faces of the artillerymen were suddenly even more solemn, and the hot and red iron tongs that had been burning in the brazier were clenched in their hands, watching the cavalry sword raised high.

This is the Spanish standard cavalry sword, but at this time, it belongs to Green's command sword, he looked at the bronze-level skeleton undead on the city wall in front of him, and also took a deep breath and slowly spoke, but the voice was extremely loud: "Fire!" ”

"Fire!"

With this sound, the cavalry sword also swung down fiercely, and a silver mark was drawn in mid-air with a bright appearance, and the sound that sounded one after another, almost at the same time, had also sounded between the various artillery.

It was the order of the artillery captains, the iron tongs had touched the fire rope, and the hot iron easily ignited the hemp rope stained with saltpeter powder, and the sizzling burning sound appeared, and the fire rope, which had been deliberately shortened, had also burned and turned into black ashes, and quickly entered the fire door.

"Boom-"

A cannon on the right exploded instantly, and suddenly a large fireball appeared at the muzzle position, and in the deafening sound, the dense flames had already erupted, but that solid iron ball, at the limit that the human eye could observe, tore through the space with a rapid phantom and appeared on the upper part of the wall of the castle of the dead.

The distance of 800 meters is instantaneous, and the training shell with the explosion and expansion of gunpowder, as well as the earth's gravity and inertia, has brought its strength a hundred times its own weight, and after touching the city wall made of pure stones, the hard but brittle stones cannot resist the power of the iron ball at all.

"Boom-click-click-"

The shattered stones were flying around, and the huge force even caused the entire stone to produce countless mirror-like splinters, as well as the slight shaking of the entire city wall, these stone walls that could not transmit power could not stop the artillery fire!

But this is not the end, because the remaining nineteen arquebuses that burn a little slower have also reached the end, and as the last point of the arquebus at the fire door is burned out, the gunpowder packets in the entire medicine room are ignited, and the power from gunpowder and technology also suddenly appeared in the cannon chamber, spewing out fierce fireworks!

"Boom Boom T

Countless roars would be one, and the blazing flames even swept the surrounding air, instantly raising the temperature by more than ten degrees, so that the surrounding artillerymen couldn't help but take four or five steps back, half-squatting and covering their ears with their hands, lest the roar that erupted would burst their eardrums.

Even on the outside of the ruins of the city, at the entrance of the central avenue, the war horses under Levi's crotch were a little restless and snorting back and forth, obviously the salvo of nineteen cannons was almost like a giant thunderstorm.

But the power is several times stronger than the thunderstorm, because the solid cast iron cannonball is a real substance, and it hits the working part of the city wall violently in the roar, and nineteen cannons are nineteen cannonballs, and the power is already decaying and devastation, and countless stones are splashing on the city wall!

The berserk force has appeared on the city wall, and the stone city wall, which was originally built, has now begun to burst and fall off on a large scale, and even in several areas, even a whole stone has been shattered into two!

The front city wall was already pitted and extremely ugly, but it was forcibly supported, and it was still quite complete, and even the bronze-level skeleton undead at the top did not cause the slightest confusion because of the slight shaking, and they still stood there fearlessly, which was nothing to them.

There is no hearing, no sight, no touch, all they have is hatred for the living, and obedience to the superior of the undead creatures.

Therefore, these skeleton soldiers did not make the slightest move, nor did they have any means of countermeasures, because at a distance of eight hundred meters, even the bronze-level skeleton archers and the skeleton mages could not hit them, and in the eyes of these skeleton undead, the troops of the living had not really launched an attack!

According to the siege of the feudal era, although the heavy trebuchet was amazingly powerful, it was still helpless against these stone walls, and only used projectiles to hit the people on the city walls, so that the real siege troops could attack.

It is a siege tower that can be pushed, or a wooden ladder, directly attacking the city wall with artillery, and in the most unreasonable way, the city wall is forced to blast out of a big hole, or even directly collapse the city wall, in these medieval battles, there are only large counterweight trebuchets, which may be caused.

But the large counterweight trebuchet is quite cumbersome, less powerful than these 24-pounder light cannons, and the frequency of firing is not high, and even the number of times it can be used and the life span are strictly required.

"Give me half an hour, and I'll blast out a passage."

Looking at the extremely dense gunpowder smoke that had been fired, those artillerymen were re-cleaning the barrels and filling the gunpowder and shells, Green turned his head slightly and said to Wilmot behind him: "You will get in safely!" ”

"Of course." Wilmot also nodded, the castle of the dead was built with great care, but after all, it was a traditional building model in the Middle Ages, and the reason why the fortifications in modern times became short and thick, and the brick and stone walls were completely abandoned, was that the artillery was equal to these masonry walls, an absolute nemesis!
