Chapter 145: The Power of Artillery

Hearing Situ Jin say that the other party was coming, Fielding looked ahead with wide eyes, but he couldn't see anything. After a while, I saw some black shadows flashing two hundred meters away.

"Let's get ready!" Situ Jin said in a low voice.

Fielding nodded, and passed the order on.

After a while, seeing that the enemy was less than 100 meters away from the city, Fielding was a little anxious: "Young Master Situ, don't you want everyone to fire cannons?"

The "cannon" that Fielding refers to is a kind of artillery that is unique to the mainland of Ceylon, which is made of several special fossil fuels on the continent, which is not very powerful and has a short range, no more than 200 meters at most.

But even so, this kind of artillery is still widely used in the armies of various countries, after all, even if the power is poor, it is better than nothing! Although we don't expect to rely on this thing to conquer cities and territories when we fight, we still have to rely on this thing to make a scene.

That being said, but a cannonball is a cannonball, and no matter how powerful it is, it is not something that ordinary people can afford to be blown up. In order to maximize the power of these cannons, Situ deliberately wanted to let the enemy get closer.

Situ said, "Wait a little longer!"

Fielding held his breath, and at this time he could already see many figures under the city trotting towards the city gate, although these people deliberately lowered their voices, but if they listened carefully, they could still hear a dense sound of footsteps.

Situ listened attentively, and suddenly, he stood up suddenly, waved his arms, and yelled, "Fire!"

When the words fell, I saw that the 1,000 artillery men who had been ambushed on the city wall in advance got up and aimed their cannons at the figures below the city wall, and there was a burst of cannons.

In an instant, the cannon shot straight out from the sky, drawing various trajectories in the air, and then fell one after another where the enemy was standing.

In the next second, only the sound of rumbling was heard endlessly, accompanied by the sound of these artillery explosions, and there were bursts of howls among the enemy troops from time to time. All of a sudden, the sound of artillery and the howl of the enemy army were mixed, and the whole city was in chaos.

After the words fell, the entire west gate suddenly lit up, different from the dim lights before, at this time the entire city gate was illuminated by the lights, and as far as the eye could see, the scene under the city gate was unobstructed.

I saw that nearly 100,000 enemy troops were running away from the city gate, their eyes full of surprise and fear, and the originally neat team had already been beaten by countless artillery shells.

At this moment, these enemy troops had no formation to speak of, but when they saw the artillery falling, they fled east to Tibet with their heads in their hands, and although there were a few people who looked like officers shouting incessantly in the rear, none of them paid attention to these officers.

At this time, everyone only cared about fleeing for their lives, and even the Vaals, who had always been known for their ferocity, did not dare to confront the artillery, but kept retreating.

Situ Jin's blue eyes flashed, and he said to Fielding: "It seems that the 'Uta Kingdom' has indeed united with the Vaal people, so in this way, those Vaal people at the north gate of the city must be some stragglers sent by the enemy to attract our attention!"

Because Situ Jin didn't shout to stop, when he was talking, the city still kept firing cannons downward, until the enemy troops under the city couldn't open their eyes.

After a while, after seeing that the enemy had retreated into the jungle not far west of the city, Situ Jin raised his hand and signaled to stop firing artillery! Situ Jin asked all the gunners to retreat, and then motioned for the other two thousand archers to step forward.

After everything was arranged, he said to Fielding and several of the officers defending the city behind him: "These cannons can only frighten the enemy, but do not do much damage to the enemy. The enemy army is just a little caught off guard by us now, and when they react, they will definitely quickly reorganize their horses and attack the city, and they will not retreat when the time comes!"

Fielding and the other officers nodded.

At this time, Situ Jin said again: "Let everyone release a few waves of bows and arrows in a while, and then take turns to rest!"

"What?" Hearing Situ Jin say that everyone should go to rest, several officers, including Fielding, were taken aback, and then said: "Young Master Situ, are you not mistaken? When is this, and let everyone rest? If the city gate is broken by the enemy, we don't know how to die, and what are we going to rest!"

Hearing everyone's words, Situ Jin smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, even if the enemy army uses all 100,000 troops to attack the city, this city gate will not be breached in a short time!"

The officers looked incredulous and said, "Young Master Situ, you're not joking with us, are you?"

Situ was silent but smiled.

The officers turned their eyes to Fielding on the side, expecting Fielding to give an answer.

Fielding already knew about Situ Jin's arrangement in advance, although he still had doubts in his heart, but out of trust in Situ Jin, he still spoke: "Just do what Young Master Situ said!"

The officers who had already sworn to defend the city looked at each other, and they all had a feeling that they couldn't fight with their fists in their arms. Then they all left to give orders to the soldiers.

However, it is not difficult to see from the eyes of everyone when they left that they were a little dissatisfied with Situ Jin's order in their hearts.

Situ Jin's expectation was good, the 10,000 soldiers who had been ordered by Randall and Tyton to attack the city were regrouping and planning to attack the city again.

The besiege officer sent by the "Uta State" this time was named Teresa, and the officer sent by the Vaal people was named Eugene.

Just after the two of them retreated to the jungle with their troops, they counted the number of people and found that there were less than 1,000 dead and wounded, and most of the soldiers were still intact. The two of them summed it up, the reason why they were repulsed so quickly just now was completely because they didn't expect so many soldiers to be ambushed at the west gate of Tias, and it seemed that the other party had already known that they were coming.

The two of them each sent a soldier to the rear to report the situation to Randall and Tyton, and then planned to attack the city again!

After all, they are the first attack team, how can they have the face to meet Randall and Tyton without any achievements? In addition, there are 90,000 troops and horses behind them, even if they can't cope with it for a while, a large army will soon catch up to meet them! I think that there are no more than 20,000 horses in the city of Natias, how can they wait to withstand the successive attacks of the 100,000 army?

Thinking of this, the two of them waved forward again!

On the city gate, seeing that the 10,000 enemy troops who had just left came back again, the queue was neatly marching towards the city, Situ Jin just stood on the city with an indifferent face, seeing Situ Jin like this, Fielding also felt a lot more relieved in his heart.

When the enemy army was less than 100 meters away from the city, Situ Jin waved his hand, and all the archers in the city shouted.

In the next second, I saw countless arrows suddenly flying out of the city, instantly covering the sky in front of me, and the sound of swishing came and went, which made people palpitate when they heard it.
