Chapter 270: Artillery Battle, Accident and Accident
When the enemy's artillery sounded, the artillery commander of the watchfort came to Lin Feng for instructions: "Lord Lord, our artillery has also been prepared, I have come to ask for instructions, can we fight back?"
Lin Feng looked at the enemy camp on the opposite side, shook his head and said, "Divide out ten light cannons, and it will be enough to fight back appropriately, well, we can't show all our strength now, lest the enemy on the opposite side be scared away by us like this."

Hearing Lin Feng's last ridiculous explanation, the people standing around him were all amused, and the other soldiers on the walls of the Watchfort, when they saw that their commanders were laughing lightly around the lord, the tension of the battle was diluted a lot at once.
After all, the enemy on the opposite side is said to have more than 50,000 people, and the defenders in the watch fort are only 15,000 people. Obviously, their own side is not very superior in numbers, and in the face of so many enemies, to say that there is no negative emotion of fear in the heart, well, there are such soldiers, but they are not in the majority.
Count Hamleg was now faced with a dilemma: the walls of the castle opposite proved to be granite, which was not only a matter of losing some face for him (who had made him so sure that he almost called the enemy a liar), but also demoralized his men.
And in order to save and improve the morale of his subordinates, all Count Hamleg can do now is to show his hole cards, well, his mobile artillery carriage is well hidden by him, and the artillery he just bombarded the opposite city wall is only some of the more common artillery of human beings, and their artillery power and movement method are much inferior to the mobile artillery carriages made by dwarf craftsmen.
Count Hamreg thought for a while, waved his hand to summon his squire knight to his side, and then whispered a few words to him, Count Hamreg had already decided: "Since it has been determined that the Count of the Golden Rose is in the castle in front, then I must not lose in the first battle, hum, he has already demonstrated his strength by transforming the castle, then I will use it to make him understand that even if it is granite, it will be smashed under my fire!"
In his baggage camp, after receiving orders from Count Hamreger, Baker Hamreger, the commander of the mobile artillery carriage regiment, that is, his second son, the independent isolated camp suddenly boiled over, and groups of soldiers in light leather armor rushed out of the tightly packed tents, and then they dragged out of the same sealed tents one after another mobile gun carriages.
These gun carriages, apart from the fact that they have two iron wheels that allow them to travel freely, are characterized by a slender barrel, which is twice as long as the barrels of conventional guns compared to those conventional guns, and of course a little smaller in caliber, but the shells fired from this barrel can hit far and powerfully.
And this kind of mobile artillery carriage, Count Hamleg has a hundred and twenty guns, and in order to obtain these treasures, he has paid the greedy Black Iron Dwarves almost a quarter of the family wealth, which is a quarter of the wealth accumulated by the Earl's family for thousands of years, and he is very distressed, it is said that after he has delivered the wealth to the Black Iron Dwarves, he has not drunk the kind of wine he is accustomed to drink for more than a month.
Of course, these mobile artillery carriages, Count Hamleg was going to use them on Count Reisko in Western Art, as long as he defeated Count Reisko, he would be able to almost completely control Arte, in that case, maybe he would be able to get back the wealth he lost in a short time, well, Artecounty, its name as the "granary of the empire" is not in vain.
As the one hundred and twenty mobile artillery carriages slowly passed through Count Hamreg's camp dragged by the camel ox, as he expected, cheers rang out again over his camp, and his men were looking forward to the power of these "strange artillery" that were obviously of alien origin, "They will smash the castle on the opposite side like a walnut, even if it is a stone fort!"
Count Hamleg said that he was very satisfied, but when he picked up the monoculars again to observe the opposite city wall, he found that there seemed to be a lot of enemies involved in the defense on the opposite wall, according to his original estimate, even if the other party sent those heavy cavalry to the city wall, the defenders in this castle were only seven thousand people, but now, the soldiers standing on the city wall were almost more than 10,000 people, right?
He carefully calculated the distribution and density of the defenders on the city wall, "There are really more than 10,000 defenders, and besides, inside the castle, there seem to be other soldiers in there, how did they come here?" Although he had doubts, he still put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, no matter how to say, his army was more than the other party, "There is nothing to worry about, is it?"
After Lin Feng saw those "weird artillery" slowly coming out of the enemy's camp and lining up in several phalanxes, he knew that Count Hamreg on the opposite side was starting to move seriously, but he didn't worry too much, "The current artillery has no flowering shells, and their smaller shells are really unlikely to shatter my city wall." ”
"Besides, I'm not just going to be beaten and not fight back, well, it's good that I asked Kelsey to build some spare heavy artillery batteries in advance when I built the Watch Fort, as long as it takes a while, I can place the heavy artillery, well, there is a batch of heavy artillery in the half-plane that is scheduled to be delivered to the Windranger Fortress, and it will be the same to appropriate it here first!"
However, when the "weird artillery" on the opposite side began to fire, Lin Feng suddenly found that their range was unexpectedly far, according to the current position where they fired their guns, "I'm wiping it, just this position, even my heavy artillery can't hit them, this one doesn't fight back, and the damage to morale is a bit big." ”
Count Hamleg was also surprised, after a round of shelling, he was disappointed to find that the cannonballs fired by the mobile artillery carriage did not achieve the results he expected, and the opposite city wall was unexpectedly strong, and the cannonballs smashed on it, only smashing out one after another light white pits, although the city wall was smashed into a pockmarked face, but the city wall still showed no signs of crumbling and collapsing.
He didn't know that in order to build the walls smoothly, Kelsey had the workers pile up dirt at three times the thickness of the normal walls, according to her idea, "Even if it is an earthen fort, it must be strong enough to defend it, and even if the enemy makes a hole in it, you will have to fight me for three days and three nights before I can penetrate it." ”
