Chapter 342. The city walls collapsed with a bang

Twenty artillery pieces to attack the city, this concept may not be a big deal in the eyes of people who have not experienced war, but in the eyes of those who know the history of war, it is like a very shocking thunder. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the 15th century, there was a famous battle on the land of Europe, the once glorious Eastern Roman Empire, the capital of Byzantium was captured by the Ottoman Turkish sultan, ending the record that has never been broken by external forces for 700 years, and symbolizing the defeat of Byzantium, the Eastern Roman Empire has since stepped into the dust of history.

And even in this famous battle, the Ottoman Sultan of Turkey, only used less than 70 cannons, and the power of the salvo had already destroyed the entire section of the Byzantine wall, completely opening the way for the elite army of hundreds of thousands.

Just like the current castle of the dead, including those bronze-level skeleton warriors, I am afraid that it is the first time in the history of warfare to experience the power of gunpowder most directly, and it is also the most shocking "person"!

The salvo had begun again, the earth was turned upside down, the ground was shaking, the roar was continuing, and the thick smoke had enveloped an area of the central avenue, and in this windless space, it seemed to be solidified like mist, curling up into the sky, black and scattering a large area.

The metal cannonball let out a deadly scream, smashing the stone wall of the upper part of the castle of the dead into pieces, and generously giving its own huge power to those stones and stones that had been shattered, and shooting wildly in all directions, just like stone bullets fired from old muskets!

There were already quite a few bronze-level skeleton warriors, as well as those skeleton archers, who were instantly smashed to pieces by the stone bullets that whizzed by, as well as the cast iron cannonballs that occasionally flew by, because they were standing close to the city wall.

The faint white light flickered, and these skeleton undead had turned into scattered rotten bone frames, and the dark blue soul fire was still absorbed by the necklace on Levi's chest, and after losing the confinement of the skull, these soul fires had no ability to resist at all!

"Boom Boom T

But the bombardment continued, and the salvo of the stone wall lasted for a dozen or twenty rounds, and sometimes the shells even destroyed part of the entire wall, and sometimes even the tower was broken in half, and even a section of the breastwork began to crumble and fall off, indicating that the whole wall had begun to crumble.

The place where the cannonball passed, there were countless pitted dents, a large number of stones had been cracked and scattered, and the entire part of the city wall was even distorted because of the construction, it was no longer as smooth as before, and it looked like a real historical legacy, a city wall that was about to collapse and collapse.

"Keep reloading and prepare for the next shelling!"

Green's voice was still heavy, he looked at the already tattered and about to collapse city wall in front of him, but there was not the slightest joy on his face, but he shouted loudly: "Work harder, faster!" ”

They are not the target of a long-lasting siege, because the holy water they brought is not enough to make a long-term siege, and the serious military threat they face in the outside world cannot make them return in vain, so it is what they have to do to capture this undead castle more quickly and eliminate those evil undead creatures!

But the 24-pounder light cannon of that door has become extremely hot with many high-frequency shots, and even the brush wiped with hot oil will make a sizzling sound when it reaches in, if it is not for the improvement of metallurgical technology and the power of the system, these guns will definitely have the consequences of exploding because of various problems!

Modern artillery has never been a docile weapon, even modern artillery in the 21st century has a probability of exploding, not to mention these old 17th century artillery, the probability of exploding is also higher.

But Green couldn't wait too long, because he also knew that these cannons were definitely artillery, which had been ordered by God, and if they were not used to the extreme, they would not have the consequence of exploding at all, and what they pursued was the limit of these artillery, even if they were all abandoned after use, they must give full play to these twenty cannons, all the power!

"The walls of the castle of the dead must be breached!"

Green exhaled slowly, it was already a little difficult to breathe in the smoke of gunpowder, but he didn't care, looked at the city wall in front of him that was about to collapse, clenched his fists, the cavalry sword in his hand was still raised high, looked at the reloaded artillery, and ordered loudly: "Fire!" ”

"Boom Boom T

It was another series of shelling, and the violent sound even shook everyone's eardrums, which were numb, and they could only feel a slight pain, and the specific small sound could not be heard clearly, unless it was a loud shout in the ear, in order to finally understand the meaning of the words of the person next to him.

Just as the artillerymen of the twenty 24-pounder light cannons were about to continue to reload the already hot guns, they suddenly heard something unusual in their already buzzing ears.

Suddenly turning their heads, everyone's eyes widened slightly, and there was also a bit of ecstasy in their eyes, because just eight hundred meters away, a section of the wall of the originally solid castle of the dead seemed to be finally overwhelmed, and slowly collapsed in the salvo of artillery just now!

The stone city wall is unable to absorb the power of the cannonballs, if it is the soil city wall, it will absorb and disperse the power long ago, but the stone city wall can only absorb itself, and this price is that every time the power of the cannonball is absorbed, a lot of stones will be smashed, which leads to the defects of the city wall structure, leading to the main culprit of the collapse.

At least hundreds of meters of the city wall roared and began to collapse, and the chain reaction even made a tower next to it collapse with a roar, a large number of gravel and whole stones have rolled down to the ground, and a large number of stones filled in it have also collapsed, and the entire city wall with a height of more than ten meters is even less than one or two meters high now, and it is completely a ruin-like mess!

And Green, what is needed, is this result! It was also a result that he wanted to give to the Minister of War Wilmot behind him, and the more than 1,400 Barbary pirates!

"For the Spanish Empire!"

Wilmot was already standing at the forefront at this time, he looked at the collapsed city wall in front of him, and even collapsed with many bronze-level skeleton warriors, his face was already solemn, and the knight's sword in his hand had been pulled out, but his body was moving forward quickly, almost roaring and shouting: "Fight!" ”

"Kill!" The Barbary pirates, who had been waiting impatiently, already had a crazy look in their eyes, and they also ran forward with Wilmot just as frantically, the scimitars in their hands raised high, flashing with a cold light!

The walls have been blasted open, so the next time is the moment for them to show themselves, the real siege has just begun, the hand-to-hand combat at close range has only officially begun, and these Barbary pirates are the real protagonists, they are the warriors who fight with those bronze skeleton warriors!

Barbary pirates, dressed in turbans, helmets, leather armor, and scimitars in their hands, were the first to rush past Wilmot, and they hurried to the crumbling wall.

The road under their feet was quite rough, and they walked among the ruins of the collapsed city wall, but these Barbary pirates didn't care, and walked forward side by side, because right in front of them, behind the collapsed city wall, bronze skeletons of bones had also appeared there with the dust that had fallen!

Enemies, an unknown number, bronze-level skeleton warriors!

Densely packed with all of them, occupying the space behind the collapsed city walls, the dark blue soul fire in their eyes was burning, and seeing the incredible number of Barbary pirates charging over, they also picked up the bronze bone knife in their hands, and slowly stepped forward, facing the charge and killing directly.

They are the undead who hate the living terribly, and they are excellent warriors who once did not flinch on the battlefield, and now even if they become undead skeletons, they still know a truth.

That is, those who dare to attack this castle of the undead, dare to smash their walls, and still advance towards the main body of the castle are their enemies, and they will kill those enemies at all costs!

"Kill!"

The soul fire of all the undead skeletons flickered suddenly, and a command had already appeared in their consciousness that should not have appeared, and these bronze-level skeleton warriors seemed to have a little more consciousness, and they didn't rush up like those white bone skeletons, but instead walked forward side by side with the Barbary pirates, exactly like the warband!

And just above the city wall, the skeleton archers who were holding bone bows and carrying bone arrows in the bone pot behind them had also sensed the order in their consciousness, and the bone bow in their hands inexplicably appeared a void bowstring, which seemed to be the color of soul fire, but it was as tough as the substance, enough to be pulled apart, and then the bronze bone arrow was shot out alive, and the Barbary pirates in the process of charging one by one were shot into hedgehogs!

Even on the tower next to it, the few skeleton mages who were still wearing tattered black hoods had already raised the old bone staff in their hands, some kind of mysterious aura was flowing, and the soul fire in their eyes shook even more!

"Everything, for Spain!"

But the Barbary pirates were undaunted, they shouted heroically, stepped on the rocks under their feet, and with their own flesh and the scimitar in their hands, they slammed into the ranks of the bronze skeleton warriors, and with their same fearless frenzy of death, they truly rushed into the castle of the dead!
