On the seventh day, the Terrans and Elves fought the first great battle in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains since the Terran army entered the territory of the Elves.

The two sides each invested three legions, and the Terrans cut down a large area of forest in advance and vacated a large clearing, otherwise fighting with the elves who are good at jungle warfare in this kind of place will definitely be eaten to death.

However, even so, the cavalry that the Terrans are proud of still can't show their strongest combat power, but the Terrans have another killer weapon of their own.

"I hope our cannons and bed crossbows are ready. The old man, who had been cast Eagle Eye and his eyes were glowing with a vast blue glow of arcane magic, turned his head to look at the leader next to him.

"Yes, my lord, our cannons are ready to fire, and the range of the cannonballs is the envelope of your will. ”

Montgomeryzo, the commander of the defense force, looked at the old man in front of him flatteringly.

This is the legendary commander of the Northern Military District, Admiral Nicholas.

This high-ranking and powerful Duke actually ran to the front line in person!

"Very well, let's spread my will into the battle formation of the elves!" Nicholas picked up the cane in his hand and pointed forward heavily.

"As you wish, my lord!" Montgomery saluted Nicholas and turned to the cannon that had been prepared behind him.

The soldiers of the artillery group immediately became ready for battle.

"Listen to my order, the cannon is three to the right, seven to the elevation, five to the bottom, and start loading!"

Montgomery didn't need to look at the measuring instrument, he just stretched out his thumb and gestured twice to the battle area between the two sides in the distance to give a general range.

Before serving as the leader, he was a sharpshooter, and it was his housekeeping skill to be able to hit the opponent with one shot without looking at the measuring instrument.

Since he became the chief of artillery defense of the defense force, he can no longer control one cannon, but can control thirty guns.

That's equivalent to the efficiency of thirty sharpshooters.

Nicholas watched with interest as the young leader stretched out his thumb and reported the attack parameters with two strokes. In the past, those artillerymen were holding measuring instruments, and it took a long time to get accurate figures, and the leader in front of him was obviously different from those artillerymen.

Three days earlier, Commander Nicholas had reached the front line and personally commanded the battle. In the past three days, he has traveled through several units, many of which are very good officers, and the young artillery defense chief in front of him is one of them.

He was eager to see if the parameters that the leader, who had been able to derive attack parameters without the need for measuring instruments at all, were accurate.

Montgomery knew that Nicholas was watching, so he was very anxious to show himself, and if he could get the appreciation of His Excellency the Commander, he would be on the rise.

His roar was immediately twice as loud as usual.

"Fire!"

As the gunner pulled the line of fire violently, special lighters struck together, causing sparks to ignite the gunpowder, and the strong thrust generated by the exploding hot air sent the shells out.

Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

A row of small black dots quickly flew out with a high parabola.

Nicholas's gaze followed the little black dots. Because of the Eagle Eye technique, he could see very clearly that those small black dots were actually cannonballs.

The cannonball flew past the lines of the two warring sides, and then came to the top of the elven battle formation that was pressing the formation in the rear.

Knock knock knock......

A trail of smoke and dust splattered up.

"Report, direct hit, attack effective!" shouted the soldier in charge of observing the attack, putting down the telescope in his hand.

Hearing the soldier say that the attack was effective, Nicholas's eyes lit up, if all the artillery could have such a powerful observation ability as this leader, then the Terran artillery would become another kind of nightmare for the enemy after the heavy cavalry.

Even the original creators of artillery, the Dwarves, don't have such technology, right?! If this can really be done, then the Terran artillery will surpass the Dwarves to become the first.

The Terrans can get two firsts at once, one is the first in artillery shooting, and the other is the first in copycat ability!

The Northwest goods are stronger than the original goods, I don't know what kind of feeling the dwarves will feel when they know about it?

"Good, good, young man, you have given me a great surprise, it is the first time I have found an artilleryman like you!" Nicholas applauded.

"Thank you, my lord, I'm just carving insects, and I'm ugly in front of adults. ”

"Hahahaha, it's a good thing for young people to be modest, but it's not a good thing to hide too much. After all, it's a young man, and he still has to have a little edge, and he can't be like our group of old men, who have already fallen silent. Nicholas patted Montgomery on the shoulder, "Montgomery, I remember your name." You're good, I'm optimistic about you!"

"Thank you, sir!" Montgomery's waist was brushed straight.

The other officers who accompanied Nicholas shook their heads regretfully, secretly envious of Montgomery in their hearts.

Being remembered by His Excellency the Theater Commander is equivalent to leaving his name on the list of future promotions. It's really a good guy, it won't be long before this guy is going to be promoted.

"Show me your superb shooting skills again, I just want to watch the elves wail in the fire!"

"Yes, my lord, I promise you a perfect show!" Montgomery turned to his artillery team again.

"Three to the right, five elevation angles, three reductions, one increase in elevation angles in turn, three consecutive rapid shots, reload!"

As soon as the gunpowder man poured the gunpowder in, the loader immediately sent the shell in front of the muzzle, and the gunner pulled the arquebus, ready to fire.

"Three bursts of rapid fire, fire!"

Rumble!

As soon as a shell flew out, the sightman quickly raised the muzzle of the gun, the gunpowder man poured the gunpowder again, the loader pushed the already prepared shell forward, and the gunner once again pulled the arquebus.

Rumble!

Then it was concocted in the same way.

Rumble!

In total, it took no more than ten breaths to fire three shells in a row.

Knock knock knock......

Only now is the sound of shell explosions belated.

Bang Bang Bang ......

"Good!" Nicholas clapped his palms vigorously, he had never seen such a compact rapid three-shot fire anywhere else, and it was not until all the shells were fired that the first shells exploded, what a rapid speed.

Such a person must get the highest glory, and it is indeed worth the trip to come to the front line to inspect the soldiers!
