Chapter 401: Surprise Attack (3)
Relying on the chain plan, the squad leader not only killed and wounded dozens of enemies, but also greatly delayed the speed of their pursuit.
After all, they don't know what the principle of artillery is, and maybe they mistake it for a kind of witchcraft, and they can't predict when and where it will appear and deliver a deadly attack, so naturally no one dares to rush forward.
As a result, the squad leader successfully retreated with his men and the artillery.
Although a tiger squat cannon was left in the end, gunpowder and shells were not left, and even if it was captured by the other party, there was no problem.
It was only in their hands for two days—in a few days, the tribe would surely fall into the hands of Lord Luoming, and they were all convinced of it.
And the thunderous sound of cannon fire is not only heard on this side.
At the same time as the first cannon was fired on the team leader's side, a cannon sound was also heard from a hundred meters away, and the error was only less than five seconds.
That's exactly what Luo Ming shot with his own hands after calculating various data with the help of Aya.
Cannon, is a mountain cannon.
Although it should be regarded as a mountain howitzer to be precise, due to the reduction of weight to improve the mobility, the accuracy is far inferior to that of standard field guns, but at a distance of less than 100 meters, there is still a considerable degree of accuracy!
After all, the target wasn't a moving human, not even the size of a human, but the temple gate of the ape god — or the entrance to the giant gorilla's lair, big enough for a pickup truck full of cargo to pass through.
The projectile is a special grenade made by precision.
A grenade, in the final analysis, is a structure that fills a projectile with a cavity with gunpowder so that it can explode after being discharged.
Many grenades in modern warfare can detonate at the moment they collide with the enemy, but Luo Ming does not have this level of technology now; even if he sets a timing detonation device for a grenade, and then pinchs the time when it detonates to launch, it is inevitably a bit difficult for Luo Ming today.
But if you don't mind that it will explode after a few seconds after landing, and there may be an error of two or three seconds, there will be no problem.
Evenly stuffed gunpowder into a goose feather tube can be used as a signal tube, that is, a timing fuse for artillery shells.
Luo Ming manipulated the artillery to shoot such a shell.
Of course, the shell itself is not large, and the amount of black powder that can be contained inside is naturally limited, and whether it is the explosion itself or the flying shrapnel, it is difficult for the gorilla to be fatal, so Luo Ming did not bet on this possibility.
He also added a layer of fierce fire glue and a little special additive to the cannonballs - fierce fire glue was originally an alchemical material used for arson, and the speed and adhesion of the fire spread were quite strong, although the price was not cheap, but the amount of one or two shells, Luo Ming could still afford it.
Like a Hercules before him throwing a shot put, the pitch-black grenade rolled across a parabola, through the archway, and into the interior of the temple.
The giant orangutan had just been woken up from its nap by the inexplicable loud noise, when he saw a round rumbling thing fall into the temple.
Whether it looked or listened to the crash, it was obviously a hard object, not like a flesh-and-blood creature.
Could it be a rock? Who is doing this prank? Or is it the enemy throwing it and trying to smash itself?
At the moment when the ape god first thought of this layer, the letter tube had already burned to the deepest layer, and the flames spread rapidly between the black powder particles that occupied half of the volume of the cannonball's cavity.
In the next instant, the tremendous force of the explosion exploded the iron shell into several sections, and the other half of the shell's cavity was filled with fierce fire glue that splattered in all directions, burning, and emitting a dense gray-black smoke.
If this gorilla knew the knowledge of the outside world, he would find that something was wrong, although the ordinary fierce fire glue would smoke when it burned, it was definitely not so much, so fast!
After inhaling a little smoke, it coughed.
Less than a hundred meters away, Luo Ming smiled when he heard the loud coughing sound.
This is his yin side - he has a mage under him, although his strength is average, but he is also a mage, and the most basic knowledge of spell materials is complete.
Among the various spell materials, there are also some substances with pungent smells.
Luo Ming not only added those, but also mixed a little chili powder and pepper powder into it......
All in all, Luo Ming himself was filled under breath-holding conditions, and in order to avoid being infected with strange smells on his body, he simply burned the clothes afterwards, and then called Granty to help too, and rubbed it hard for an hour.
Now, it's the gorilla's turn to suffer - the gorilla's sense of smell is a little stronger than that of humans, and Luo Ming doesn't believe that it can hold back from rushing out when the olfactory system is being destroyed in every way.
Even if it has great willpower, it doesn't really matter if it can endure it...... The burning of gunpowder and fierce fire glue will gradually rob the air of oxygen, increase all kinds of toxic gases, and after a long time, even if it does not die, it will have to be suffocated and lose half of its life, and then a child can kill it.
Sure enough, Luo Ming turned on his energy vision again, keenly catching that the thick white was moving rapidly outward.
He also heard a roar of rage—but it was only halfway through the roar that it turned into a choked cough, and although it was like thunder, it didn't deter anyone, it only added to the laughter of Luo Ming's men.
"Shotgun in place, three, two, one fire!"
Under Luo Ming's order, a large mountain cannon, a miniature mountain cannon, and two tiger squat cannons all roared, and the smoke of gunpowder billowed out, spraying a blast of wind.
Hundreds of projectiles, blown away like a storm.
It is said that on a rainy day, it rains a lot more than walking slowly, and the more anxious you are, the more wet your clothes will become.
Now, the ape god has taken on that role—as soon as he burst out of the temple's gates, he was met with a rain of buckshot that struck him with a slash on his head and face.
The heavy leather armor that might have protected it from lead bullet is now not on its body at all - it is too hot to wear on the body, and it is generally put aside unless it goes to war.
At the same time, Luo Ming did not hesitate to detonate a small cloud of cangyan in his hand, dispersing all the gunpowder smoke that diffused nearby.
His vision was clear again, and when he looked in, he saw that the ape god's body was covered in bruises.
Although in terms of brute strength, it may have the strength beyond that of the Great Sword Master, but its realm is not that high after all, and many moves cannot be used, and it cannot be learned at all.
Whether it is Luo Ming who uses his body and sword to move at high speed, or opens the field like a normal great swordsman, it is estimated that he can survive the baptism of this wave of bullets.
And this giant gorilla can only carry it.
