Chapter 1226: Boom!
In this day and age, shelling is a very technical task that requires personal experience. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are too many raw materials to be spent, and the ironforge fort, where more shells are made than bread, can afford to raise a group of gunners.
Ironforge listens to the following dialogues the most:
"Do you want to make a date tonight?"
"Covenant! Death Rio!"
As a result, it is often the members of the two groups of dwarven tank crews who first drank a few catties of wine, and then did not sleep in the middle of the night, and ran to fight wild wolves and rabbits with cannons, and made the whole Danmoro jump.
Well, if you say a date, you can make a date, no problem!
Not to mention that before Duke crossed, the dwarves still used unrifled thick iron cannons, and even after Duke introduced the concepts of shooting Zhuyuan and rifling, the hit rate of the artillery bombardment was still impressive.
No way, before there was no computer, in the classic naval battles in the First and Second World Wars on Earth, except for the dead target that could not move at a close distance, the hit rate did not exceed 10%, and the hit rate of more than 5% was already called a sharpshooter.
No matter how accurate it is, it is necessary to first get two shots, and then slowly calibrate, judge the position, direction, and speed of the enemy and us based on experience, and then estimate the advance amount, and finally open fire.
As for how accurate it can be, God knows.
After all, at a distance of 3,000 meters, even a large object 100 meters long will not look bigger than a finger to the naked eye.
Duke's series of 'inventions' turned all this upside down.
First, he equipped each cannon with a high-powered telescope on the front and top.
The image from the telescope is then zoomed in directly onto the 32-inch magic mirror display above the gun door.
Finally, as if playing a game, a dotted line is marked on the monitor - that is the arc of the cannonball simulated after firing the elements. As long as the barrel is adjusted to coincide with the dotted line, it will basically hit.
When Duke's invention came out, it changed the whole war again.
It's not that the old gunners can't do it anymore, with the assistance of the new system, they fight more accurately and hard, but the standard of qualified gunners is easily lowered.
After only three months of training, a new gunner can easily hit a fixed target with a diameter of 50 meters or more from a distance of 2,000 meters.
Now, the target is the huge floating fortress Naxxramas with a length and width of kilometers in length, and even if it is three kilometers away, it is not too easy.
"Alright! the first shot will be handed over to you!" Magni raised his glass!
Duke pursed his lips, but still raised his hand high: "The whole fleet obeys the order, fire three volleys!" Then the Sky Breaker maneuvered in a serpentine manner, the Black Pearl was full on the left, and the Flying Dutchman was full on the right, pulling the formation apart. ”
With Duke's right hand slashing down.
The entire Skybreaker began firing from the gun doors in the bow.
"Bang, bang, bang!" "Bang, bang!" From far to near, at first it was a bit like a dull thunder from the sky, and when the sound of the cannon was like a firecracker, from the bow of the ship to the stern of the three-story building, Rao set up soundproofing magic early in the morning, and the violent vibration of the ground shaking from the hull of the ship still made Duke feel a little unbearable.
"Ugh!"
Obviously, this Super Sky Breaker, which is many times stronger than the original, has a typical thick and hard dwarf style, and each 155mm cannon has rifling, as well as a water-pressure gas brake and retreat machine equal to the level of World War I on Earth to reduce recoil.
However, when the 128 cannons were fired in turn, the strong recoil still caused the entire Sky Breaker to move at least fifty meters to the left in mid-air.
Including the two battleships, the three giant ships had a total of more than 200 cannons roaring in unison, and the scene was so spectacular. Even the Moon Goddess's High Priestess Tyrande personally launched the [Falling Stars] here, but he didn't have the momentum he has now.
In the eyes of the soldiers and civilians below, as soon as the three giant ships rushed out of the rolling dark clouds, a dazzling fire suddenly flashed on the side of the ship, followed by an incomparably terrible roar of death, which was still clearly audible even on the ground 10,000 meters away.
As the cannonballs full of destruction crossed a distance of three thousand meters and slammed into the outer walls of the Naxxramas Fortress, explosions and flames continued to appear on the fortress full of evil atmosphere.
The fortress is on fire, and the fire is not too big.
But the flames were definitely not a good thing for a fortress full of the undead.
Kel'thugad jumped to his feet in anger on the spot!
"What's going on? What's going on!?Where did the Alliance get the flight control battleship?Could it be that Akmund's waste died in Mount Hyjal, and even the Void Battleship was compensated?"
The roar of the Great Lich is doomed to be meaningless.
Duke confirmed the results and the point of impact through the telescope, and said as if to himself: "It seems that Naxxramas really can't stop the cannonballs......
As a staunch giant ship cannonist, how could the dwarf's cannon be such a weak chicken as 155 mm?
Those 155mm rapid-fire guns, that is, for fire suppression and air defense.
By the way, let's try to see if Naxxramas's magic protection system is still working. After all, these days, even the big villains have learned to make a [protective cannonball] magic on the city walls and fortresses.
The real killer is, of course, the three triple turrets installed on the ship after Duke Magic's modification!
The caliber is not very good, it is only 460 mm.
For the frenzied dwarves, they are too small. It's just that the craftsmanship is not up to par, and the recoil is too sick, and if you want to install it on a flying battleship, this is already the limit. No matter how large-caliber the cannon is, the problem is that the keel of the ship can't bear it!
Magni reluctantly agreed to fit a 460mm triple turret.
When Duke gave the order for the main cannon to fire, it only took three or four breaths for a deafening roar from the Skybreaker.
That's the roar of the main guns firing all the time!
One two three...... Nine, a full nine pillars of golden light pierced into the pitch-black and evil giant fortress like sharp blades.
The bombardment in front of it carried most of the damage from the hard outer layer of stone in the afterlife.
This time, in the face of the bombardment of the 460-mm cannon, the outer wall of the fortress, which had already been ravaged again and again, finally could not bear it and exploded.
Worried that the alliance would send troops to land, Kel'thugad sent a large number of undead creatures to the outer layer of the fortress, and as a result, these undead all fell into bad luck, and some skeleton soldiers, flesh and blood structures and the like were blown to pieces in an instant, and pieces of flesh flew sideways.
The gargoyle that was just about to attack was easily pierced through its wings or directly through its body by the debris kicked off by the explosion, and it fell from mid-air with a strange scream.
The massive Abomination was blown into rotten tomatoes and sprinkled with patches of filthy blood.
Kel'thugad had been scavenging for years to be used as an undead army to conquer the entire world of Azeroth, and walked helplessly into the abyss of destruction in the face of terrible artillery fire.
Duke was more than a little bigger: "Shoot the cannons, shoot the cannonballs, bang the!"
