Chapter 582: The Last Fight (I)
"I can't help myself!" Bella's masters couldn't help but smile cruelly when they saw this scene.
If the huge power of the stone bullet was so easy to resist, how could they use the Thunder Carts as a rare weapon of great destruction?
On the other hand, if any master has the tremendous power to resist stone bullets, then wouldn't it be possible to break the city wall quickly if he directly let the master bombard it?
However, Luo Ming is not stupid.
Artillery in this world can be said to have been invented by him, and artillery was also taught by him himself, and in the past three years, he has become more and more proficient in ballistics, and he has long known how to deal with this stone projectile.
The cannonball may ricochet when it falls on the inclined plane, and the same is true for the stone projectile, it is too close to the city, and it is too late to deflect it to the side, and even if it is deflected, it will still fall on the city, but what Luo Ming did was to exert an oblique force to lift it up!
In the next instant, the stone bullet flew half a meter above Luo Ming's head, even blowing his hair, and cutting off the tip of the spear of a soldier next to him who was raised high into the sky, but after all, there were no casualties.
It jumped over the walls and fell directly into the city, smashing into a house and sending up a puff of smoke.
By the time the smoke cleared, all that was left was ruins, as if most of them had been demolished.
However, it was not a civilian house, but a soldier's dormitory, and there was no one in it at the moment, so it didn't matter at all.
There were no civilians in the city now, either soldiers or militiamen, and neither of them would hide in the city, either in the walls or in the caves under the walls, and it would be impossible for a stone bullet to hit them at any angle.
Luo Ming raised his right hand and waved it, indicating that he was unscathed, and suddenly, a burst of cheers sounded in the Iron Fire City, although the Heavenly Power Sword had consumed a lot in the blow just now, but now it was also immediately replenished in this cheer.
Zagmer and the others tried their best to prepare the Ben Thunder Car, and finally completed it after three and a half minutes, but the spellcasters on Luo Ming's side had already completed the task of fanning the flames, and they all freed their hands and condensed the light cone again, and Granty guided the stone projectile to deflect.
Looking at the shield carts under the city, almost half of them were burned, and the rest were also blocked by the flames, and they couldn't move forward for a while.
In this case, Luo Ming turned his attention to the thunder car again.
After the Belan mage group rests at noon, it should be able to hold out for a while, and the number and quality of spellcasters on Luo Ming's side are actually not as good as the other side, although the consumption rate on both sides is also different, but it is still not enough insurance.
After the sword just now, his right hand was actually damaged to a certain extent, and it was still being repaired, and he didn't want to do it again.
Luo Ming thought about it for a while, and then came to the side of the rifled gun.
Now he only has this rifled cannon, even if it is ready-made, he will have to wait three or four days to make the next one, and the bronze texture is soft, and it will be gradually smoothed out if the number of shots is too much, so it has not fired a few shots in the past two days.
Now, it's time for it to come in handy......
After the two guns were calibrate, the rifled gun had already captured the target's position, and the smoothbore gun itself had a certain dispersion and sometimes missed, so the two rounds of calibration did not attract much attention from the other side.
Immediately afterward, the Mage Regiment of Beran once again unshrouded the shield, allowing the stone projectiles of the Thunder Carts to pass through.
This process took less than two seconds, but at this moment, Luo Ming directly manipulated Cang Yan to ignite the gunpowder without delay, blasting a solid cannonball out.
The cannonball sliced through the air almost ten times faster than a stone projectile, and in the blink of an eye, it sank through the half-closed gap in the shield.
It didn't smash into the Thunder Cart, but directly at the Belan Mage Regiment behind the Thunder Cart!
Luo Ming had tried to let the artillery take advantage of the opportunity to open the shield to attack the mage group, but the timing was too difficult to grasp, and it was difficult for the smoothbore cannon to accurately attack the small gap, and if the shotgun was fired, it could occasionally leak a few pieces, but the lethality was somewhat insufficient - the mages also set up additional self-defense spells, and some even carried magic props that could activate the small shield.
But Luo Ming shot a solid bullet this time, so it's completely different!
The cannonball landed on the ground and immediately bounced, shattering a layer of self-defense spell like paper, and then grazing the mage's shoulder.
Suddenly, his arm twisted into a twist, and the large piece of skin and flesh from his shoulders to his neck was directly torn by friction, bleeding blood, and he immediately fell backwards, unconscious!
Then, the shell broke the left leg of a priest before it hit the ground, and only then rolled farther away.
This shield can carry cannonballs for a long time, which is already much beyond the level of ordinary archmages, and Belan's mage group is also a joint spell caster to maintain it - and joint spell casting, you must set up a magic array, and then arrange their respective positions to form an effective cooperation.
Once such a dense array is bombarded by artillery, it is actually a very rare situation to miss people, and it is even possible to hit two or three people at a time, and the Behran mage group naturally knows it, and they are also shaken when they see their two companions injured.
And the shaking did not only stay on the psychological level, the loss of two companions, the shield immediately fluctuated for a while, and it took them more energy to make up for the missing nodes and continue to maintain their defense, which also made their consumption worse.
The next time the Thundercart fired, the stone projectile was deflected by the spellcaster on Luo Ming's side, leaving a deep abrasion on the wall.
And a cannonball flew at the same time, and once again smashed into the empty window impartially, directly knocking a priest out of the air, and by the time he landed, he had completely lost his breath.
"It's not a coincidence, damn it, how can you hit so far and so accurately?"
Zagmer cursed and snarled fiercely.
But this can only show his powerlessness, he can only shout in vain, and he can't come up with any solution in his eagerness.
The speed of the shell is much faster than that of the stone projectile, and the target is small, and it is too difficult to intercept the shell by the method that Luo Ming has, and the slightest mistake will cause an accident.
So, could it be that you can only build another earthen wall in front of the mage group, or even block everyone with an earthen wall or shield in front of everyone?
What kind of battle is this fighting?!
However, after all, he was a general who had fought for many years, and soon, a new plan came to mind - and this was the last stand.
Even counting yesterday, the siege lasted only two days, which is far from a long-term siege, and as long as the soldiers were told that a protracted war would be won, there would be no big problem.
However, the exchange between the two sides is too uneven, and so far, not a single stone bullet has caused real damage, let alone any other attack.
At least we have to find a way to deal a heavy blow to the other side before the siege battle ends today!
You know, once you admit that you are "completely helpless", then the blow to morale is no less than a big defeat!
