Chapter 1537: Secret Weapon

The battle in the sky, because of the location, is the most eye-catching, and the shouting of the Great Captain of Dota and the performance of the ogre are even more inspiring morale and boost the morale of the coalition forces.

Downton frowned when he saw it, this kind of warfare was not what he wanted, it was too primitive, in his dream, he had seen a kind of artillery that could sink enemy warships from a distance of thousands of meters.

Although the Krupp Giant made a shotgun according to his description, it will face many problems after it becomes larger.

There are too many hurdles to overcome in the metal materials, forging process, and rune engraving to make artillery, but fortunately Downton has Krupp giants who are skilled in metallurgy and forging, black iron dwarves, and goblin engineers, otherwise he would not dare to try.

The cannon was made, but it could not be mass-produced at all, because after a few rounds of fire, the barrel would be damaged, and there were countless explosions.

The trouble is not only this, the artillery is not carried on the battleship and can be used immediately, this weapon that uses gunpowder will produce a huge recoil, if it cannot be balanced, the battleship will be in danger of capsizing, and even a slight shaking will lead to a misaiming and cannot hit.

However, despite the difficulties, there is a need for research, because this is an energy weapon, which can be used by ordinary people, and does not limit the scope of magical powers.

After seeing the experiment, the cheap god and Homer both said that this would be an epoch-making invention that would change the situation of the war on the mainland, and Di Lanxue also said that if the artillery was successfully manufactured, the era of the magic power ruling the continent would be completely ended.

Under Downton, many wise generals saw this, so they advised him to give up research, the magic is a status symbol, but the invention of this gunpowder weapon will greatly narrow the gap between ordinary people and magic people.

And the most crucial point. After the popularization of this weapon, the human race, which has the largest population base, will become the hegemon of the continent for generations.

Gone are wars that can be won by individual bravery.

Downton is a human after all, even if his command is full of indigenous legions, and he is even given the title of indigenous king. Nothing can change this fact.

No one wanted to see their descendants ruled by a foreign race, so Downton dictatorship~ dictatorship, allocated a lot of money, and insisted on the development of gunpowder weapons.

"Still struggling?"

Rosicky asked.

"Nope!"

Downton shook his head, "The times are developing, and what determines the ownership of the continent should not be some kind of weapon, but the will of life!"

Rosicky showed a smile, this is the leader of the mainland. The idea of what should be.

"With gunpowder weapons, those races that are naturally weak also have the capital to resist, not only against the evil gods, but also against tyranny ~ government, power, dictatorship ~ dictatorship!"

Downton paused and muttered, "There will be freedom!"

"It's decided, then do it. Well, the enemy's infantry charged. Quickly give the order and suppress it. ”

Rosicky patted Downton on the shoulder.

Most of the commanders were panicking, afraid of the overwhelming sea of demons, only a few heard the conversation between Downton and Rosicky, and showed a subtle look on their faces, it turned out that this is the gap between geniuses and mortals?

Flares rose into the sky. At the same time, the heralds ran through the fortifications, conveying the order to attack.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The leaders of the hundred people urged their subordinates, there was nothing to talk about at this time, whoever was slow would immediately kick hard.

Catapult positions opened fire. Smash out the stone bullets one by one, because there are too many demons, you don't need to aim at all, just smash it, and it's all corpses.

The efficiency was too slow, until the artillery in Frankfurt came into the air.

It is said that it is artillery, but in fact, it is still a catapult, but it is not the conventional kind of catapult power of animal tendon tannin, but steam power.

Steam Catapult, a blueprint from one of Downton's goblins.

Just as Abagon's ancestors are also wide, this ancestor is a senior engineer in the era of big goblins, and there are a lot of drawings hidden in his home, although he has lost a lot because of decay and other reasons, but a steam catapult drawing is worth more than 100 million gold coins.

Compared with the traditional one, this kind of catapult is larger, has a mechanical base, but it is very convenient to move, because the tires are installed, the overall operation, is also unusually simple, and the wrench can be wrenched, but because of the use of steam power, it is necessary to boil the boiler in advance, and it must be continuously watered to cool, otherwise it will explode.

Of course, this catapult also has the disadvantage that as the steam decreases, the range becomes shorter, and after the boiler overheats, it needs to be cooled for a long time.

If it was just a simple stone bomb, Downton would not have installed them, but after Krupp specially developed a collision bomb, it was different.

On the side of the camp, an artillery position was specially opened, and at this time, two hundred steam catapults were lined up, which was simply domineering and volatile with a strong mechanical texture.

When!

A minotaur carrying a cannonball accidentally misses it, and the round cannonball rolls out of the net pocket.

The entire position instantly became silent, and everyone seemed to have cast a petrified magic, and they directly froze in place.

Cold sweat soaked my back at once.

After making sure that there was no explosion, the artillery commander rushed over and gave him a sharp look.

"You're going to kill everyone!"

The artillery commander's heart is still stuck in his throat, but there are a lot of shells piled up nearby, if this explodes, not to mention the artillery position, half of the camp will be blown up into the sky.

After being busy, everything was ready, and the observer had already set up the shelling of Zhuyuan, just waiting for the order to be issued.

Finally, the flag bearer raised the red flag and waved the flag.

"Triple shot, fire!"

The artillery commanders roared, and the shooters pressed down the wrench with all their might.

Bang! Bang!

Shells flew out.

At this distance, the artillerymen could not see the effect, and the only thing they could do was to continue to reload according to the training.

After completing a triple shot in the shortest possible time, the shooter turns the iron wheel, adjusts the power arm, lowers the elevation angle, and waits for the next shot.

The standard distance on the battlefield is calculated in advance, and when the enemy enters, the attack is immediate, of course, if the soldiers of this side enter by mistake and are injured by mistake, there is no way to do it.

"The defenses over there are empty!"

One of the commanders screamed in fright when he saw a hole in the northwestern defenses, but before he could respond, he heard a deafening roar.

Boom! Boom!

The cannonball landed in the demon army that rushed to this area, and exploded directly, and the triangle iron plate shot indiscriminately with the powerful shock wave, tearing through the demon's armor and embedding it into the flesh.

Many demons were blown up and their flesh was flying, their limbs were broken, and puffs of smoke were rising.

The commanders were stunned.

After the shelling, everyone saw that it had completely turned into a flesh mill, and a thick layer of flesh and blood had accumulated on the ground.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

The commanders questioned each other.

"Damn, these humans are so cunning, it seems to be the killing effect of goblin bombs!"

Ancelotti was furious, but didn't take it seriously, there were too many drawbacks to this kind of attack, as long as they rushed through the coverage area, they were useless.

"Let the cavalry take a detour and storm that position. ”

An Shuai made a dispatch, and with a guess, he also knew that catapults could only attack the frontal battlefield, otherwise why were there no enemy soldiers on this front?

"The demon's charge was faster than expected. ”

Downton sighed, and when he saw the movement of the cavalry, he knew that the weakness of the catapult position was exposed, and not only that, but every time he adjusted the angle of fire, it took a lot of time.

"It's still the most convenient bombardment from the air!"

Rosicky sighed, looked up and observed the battlefield in the air, the fight was completely scorched, there was no way, although the Dota ogre was strong, but the number of people was several times smaller after all, and it was already an extremely outstanding performance to be able to suppress the enemy army head-on.

In this big battle on the Shining Gold Plain, on the frontal battlefield, the demons invested as many as 600,000 troops, and the two flanks, each with 200,000 in a roundabout, and there are as many as one million reserves left.

"A change has to be made!"

Rosicky urged.

The battlefield situation is already obvious, the demon is attacking on the frontal battlefield, exerting high pressure, and then allowing the two wings to gain momentum, once it breaks through, it is the end of being besieged.

The Shining Gold Plain is still not vast enough, otherwise the end of hell will be able to deploy more troops, which is why people choose to fight here.

It's not that it can't be attacked, but it's not timely.

"It's just Rippy!"

The commanders felt cold in their hearts, this tactic, the casualties were too large, but for the demons, death was the most insignificant.

"Let the bombardment brigade go out and destroy the enemy's mage regiment. ”

Downton lost his trump card and made a desperate bet.

The ten warships that had been cruising in the rear immediately accelerated and headed straight for the enemy formation, accompanied by the escort of the Frost Dragon.

The Firebird and the Twin Angels also lifted into the air.

"Haha, the other party can't afford to wait, give the order, let Doomsday Deathwing dispatch!"

Ancelotti laughed and unleashed the strongest trump card in his hand.

The Flying Winged Flame Demon rode a two-headed pterodactyl and rushed into the sky, their number was not much, only a thousand, but it was definitely the elite of the elite, you know, the Flying Wing Flame Demon was a high-ranking demon, with wings on his back, and the racial talent was a vicious sulfur aura.

Within a radius of three hundred yards, the temperature is hot, scorching everything, and emitting sulfur poison, they can also use their blood to summon fire demons condensed purely with the element of fire, and incinerate everything.

This is Ancelotti's guard, and it is also the strongest class of Hell Doom, and their appearance represents the arrival of a decisive battle.

A group of flying demonic beasts also pounced on them, intercepting the frost dragons, and the pterodactyls relied on their high-speed maneuvering ability to approach quickly.

A low chant sounded, and the winged flame demon cast a spell, and one after another coconut-sized flame bombs smashed into the battleship.

Bang! Bang!

Some of the shells smashed into the deck, and sparks exploded.

A winged flame demon captain swept past the right side of the battleship, grinning, ready to throw the ball of fire in his hand, as long as he threw the battleship, not only would it explode, but it could also spontaneously form a summoning array, summoning an eight-meter-tall flame demon servant from the abyss.

Being mountaineering battleships by such elemental creatures, with knees, all know what the result is. (To be continued.) )
