Chapter 41: Shelling

Steam Cannon, also known as Magic Cannon.

A product of "steam magic". Powered by psionic crystals and steam, fire physical cannonballs with psionic crystals to inflict massive lethality.

As the killer and iconic weapon of the Steam Empire, the production technology of the Steam Cannon is absolutely secret.

Among the Minas continents, only Mahan has developed a practical steam cannon, and the other three countries are only Ragulo who has created a verification machine that cannot be used in actual combat.

This is also another reason why the Jingta Kingdom wants to invade the Mahan Kingdom - in terms of national strength, the Mahan Kingdom is far inferior to the Jingta Kingdom, but from the perspective of future development, the Mahan Kingdom is likely to develop into a second steam empire.

Jingta Country will not let such a thing happen.

There were a total of six steam cannons in Sindor City, each weighing five tons, with a muzzle diameter of one meter, which was so large that it could only be installed at the head of the city and could not be moved.

But now three steam cannons have been pulled under the city of Ryan with the help of huge beasts.

The three giant cannons were lined up, the metal cannon body reflected the cold light, the steam structure was running one by one, and the psionic crystals were slowly charging.

The first shelling is about to begin.

Of course, the Wells of the Tower army in Lane City saw this, and they launched two desperate charges to destroy the steam cannon.

But the protection of this thing is extremely tight, and the beast king deer is guarding here with a five-star beast in person, and there is no possibility of being broken through at all.

Soon, the first round of shelling was ready.

"Prepare for shelling! 15 degrees south diameter, 3 height, 7 charged, special shell reloaded! ”

"Gun No. 1 is ready!"

"Gun No. 2 is ready!"

"Gun No. 3 is ready!"

The artillerymen in charge of operating the cannon shouted loudly to express their excitement about the explosion.

Although the Mahan Kingdom has experienced ten years of rapid development, it can only defend in terms of national strength, and it has never been the share of the Jingta Kingdom to invade them, and there is no strength for them to fight back against the other party.

But now, they will be the ones who will fire the first shot in this counterattack.

"Fire!" Although Prince Angmar could no longer participate in the war, he was still dressed in military uniform and sat straight on the back of a military horse.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

The orders were handed down one after the other.

The three cannons roared and roared as the steam filled the air, and specially designed cannonballs flew high into the air of Lane City before exploding with a bang.

Raindrops of dirt fell, like a rain of mud for the city of Lane.

The three cannons fired five rounds in turn, and the rain of mud that shot out covered two-thirds of the city of Lane.

When the people of Jingta found that it was dirt that fell, they were so angry that they blushed and cursed loudly on the city wall, thinking that they were insulting them.

And the warriors of the Mahan Kingdom didn't know what these dirt shells were for, but this was an order from Prince Angmar, and they took it for granted.

"Rossilil, you go shout!" Prince Angmar handed over the vanguard of this siege to the knight Ji.

Knight Ji nodded, holding the knight's spear, under the escort of Kungo and Amber, came to the edge of the bow and arrow range of Ryan City, and through "magic", her voice was clearly transmitted to the city.

"Listen to the people of Jingta Country, open the door and surrender to the city immediately, otherwise we will attack the city immediately!"

"Grandchildren of Ma Hanguo, if you have the ability, come in!" Jing Taguo's response was exactly as predicted at the beginning.

"These stinky, hard guys!" Knight Ji snorted lightly.

"Well, it's just to fool them now, anyway, as long as it can divert their attention! Now you can let the people below move. It's all here, and if you don't start a fight, I'm sorry for the blood of those people below! ”

Kungo chuckled on the side. He's still hidden in his armor, as mysterious as he is behind it.

In fact, this guy is really behind this battle.

The three of them returned to their phalanx, and a moment later, the horn of the attack sounded again.

With two rounds of official shelling sounding, the attack of Mahan began.

These two rounds of shelling were no longer mud blocks, but real shells. The steam cannon inflicted massive damage on the walls of Lane City at a relatively flat angle.

The city wall, which was more than ten meters thick and mixed with steel plates, collapsed and deformed by the bombing, revealing an open gap.

Prior to this, no one had ever pulled a steam cannon to the battlefield on the Minas continent for attack, so the walls of various countries had not considered defending against the attack of the cannon.

The walls of Lane City are a mixture of steel plates and metal beams, which are impregnable for ordinary means of attack. But against a steam cannon loaded with high-explosive shells, such a defense was still not enough.

In fact, with the exception of the Steam Empire, no one in the world has researched a wall or similar equipment that can withstand the attack of the Steam Cannon.

The initial goal of the Jingta Kingdom was to snatch the six steam cannons of Sindor City, even if they only grabbed one, they would do everything they could to transport them outside the capital of King Mahan, and then use the cannons to blast open the gate of the royal capital.

The city wall was blasted open, and the knight Ji raised the knight's spear in his hand: "Warriors of the Mahan Kingdom, charge with me!" ”

The 30,000 elite cavalry of the Mahan Kingdom shouted in unison, their spears straightened, and launched a charge.

And faster than the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Mahan Kingdom were the beasts who had been holding their nerves on both sides of the army for a long time.

A pack of Wolves of the Wind rushed to the front, one of the fastest creatures on land in the world, and the Wolves of the Storm launched a trail of afterimages that rushed in before the defenders of Lane City could react.

On the body of the wolf king, a man riding a full cloak.

"The package has been delivered!" Kungo saw the cloaked man enter the city wall, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Assault!" Seeing Kungo nodding to herself, Knight Ji knew that the plan had been executed, and let out a loud shout for the Knights to launch a strong attack.

The rain of arrows in Ryan City was long overdue, and the previous cannon would scatter them standing on the city wall, but now they have lost the opportunity to gather again.

Coupled with the death of a large number of archers, the rain of arrows was sparsely unavailable, and only a few unlucky knights were hit and fell to the ground, and nine out of nine knights rushed directly into the city walls.

"Continuing to charge, our mission is to break down the opponent's inner city defenses! The walls are not ours! Knight Ji commanded the attack of the entire knight order in a loud voice.

Like a tidal wave, the Knights stormed the city of Lane.
