A mortar of one hundred and twenty millimeters is fired extremely fast.

The Imperial soldiers in charge of these mortars were like sophisticated war machines, constantly grabbing heavy shells one after another, and as soon as the previous shell erupted from the chamber, they shoved the next shell into the muzzle.

The dull roar of the propellant was constantly resounding.

Waves of cannonballs, chirping like dead birds, continued to fall from the sky, exploding dazzling flames.

The barrage stretched from a distance of three hundred feet in front of the trench all the way forward.

'Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom'!

There was not much smoke in the air, only snow, sludge and flesh flying in the sky. The shock wave of the shells disappeared, and these messy objects fell to the ground, and the air on the battlefield became clean and the vision was extremely clear.

The wolves are wailing, and the highlanders are roaring.

Their simple minds could not figure out what was going on with these shells that made terrible explosions.

The previous flowering bombs, those flowering shells filled with black powder, when they exploded, shouldn't there be a large amount of black gunpowder smoke filling the surroundings? Shouldn't those gunsmoke be the perfect cover for the charging wolves?

Under the shroud of gunsmoke, shouldn't the musketeers or the field artillerymen lose their sights, unable to aim at the valiant highlanders, unable to aim at the fierce wolves?

But what's going on now?

Many of the highlanders who were swept into the sky by the shock wave were still racking their brains to ponder this problem when they were in mid-air.

What about gunsmoke?

Why can't there be smoke when the shell explodes?

Also, above the trenches of the Imperial Army, there was no thick smoke after the muskets were fired!

It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense!

High-speed guns are roaring.

High-speed machine guns roared.

The assault rifle was in the hands of the elite Imperial soldiers, and it constantly emitted a rather rhythmic crisp gunshot.

The highlanders, who had broken through to less than three hundred feet from the trench, fell one by one like straw harvested by a giant sickle, and they were getting farther and farther away from the trench, three hundred feet...... 400 feet...... 500 feet...... 1,000 feet......

The distance in front of the trench was three hundred to a thousand feet, and it was covered with the corpses of highlanders and wolves.

In the dense corpses, one after another fires exploded, blowing up a blood mist in the sky, and countless stumps and broken arms were blown out.

The highlander gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward.

Those young nobles were still miles away from the trench defense.

They only heard the heavy sound of artillery and gunfire, but they couldn't see what was really happening in front of them.

They just kept giving orders, constantly letting the heralds around them blow their horns, urging the highlanders and wolves in front of them to rush forward as fast as they could.

High in the air, a small airship flew by quickly.

Several scouts with binoculars in hand had locked onto the waving totem flags, these brightly dressed tribal nobles.

The airship hovered in the air, and a signal soldier leaned out of the window of the pod and shook the two small red flags in his hand vigorously.

In the woods, large-caliber howitzers are adjusting.

According to the information sent back by the air signalmen, several officers were a little rusty to calculate the enemy's position, distance, and the angle at which the howitzers should fire.

Just a few breaths later, the big guys let out a frantic roar.

High in the air, a new 155-millicaliber shell flew by at high speed, pulling out a dull sound of breaking the air in the air.

After a few snaps of the fingers, a large number of cannonballs whistled down and smashed into the vicinity of the waving totem flags.

The shell exploded.

A white shock wave visible to the naked eye swept out.

Where each shell landed, huge flames swept in a hundred feet; The shockwave roared and spread in all directions, and everything within five hundred feet in diameter was swept away, torn apart, and torn to shreds by the shockwave......

On the ground, craters with a depth of more than ten or twenty feet and a diameter of dozens of feet kept coming out, and the craters were steaming, and there were constantly melted snow and hot blood falling into the craters.

Several unlucky young nobles were hit by cannonballs, and they, along with their guards, disappeared directly in the firelight.

The young nobles near them, their eardrums shattered by the terrible sound of the explosion, blood falling down their earlobes, and many rolled off their wolves' backs, screaming like madmen.

A large group of black wolf cavalry were injured by the shock wave, and they vomited blood, curled up on the ground like their own wolves, and rolled over and over again, constantly letting out painful wails.

In the woods, the Imperial artillerymen opened the gun doors, pulled out the steaming shells, and stuffed new shells into the chambers.

For these artillerymen, who have at least opened up a sea of power, the 155-millicaliber shells seem to be frivolous. They quickly reloaded, and then the cannon roared again.

Another wave of large-caliber shells fell......

Every shell swept away all life within a radius of hundreds of feet.

This is the most terrifying firepower ever seen on the Medland continent, and the lethality of these new howitzers is far more powerful than the old mortars of 300 millimeters, 400 millimeters, and even 800 millimeters.

But the firing speed of these new howitzers is at least ten times that of these old mortars.

Wave after wave of new cannonballs flew out, happily plunging into the dense wolf pack......

Blood, stumps, craters......

High in the sky, three large war airships shattered the thick clouds and descended rapidly from the sky. In the pods of the three large war airships, a large group of soldiers held a high-speed machine gun and pulled the trigger fiercely.

Chains of fire fell from the sky and smashed the heads of the unprepared highlanders.

No one was wary of this trick.

This move, in the era of arquebuses or flintlock pistols, was basically an ineffective attack.

At an altitude of 1,000 feet above the ground, whether it is an arquebus or a flintlock pistol, the bullets fired do not know where they will drift with the wind.

These new large-caliber high-speed machine guns have extremely fast muzzle velocity and an astonishing effective range of more than one mile...... Falling from the air more than 1,000 feet above the ground, the lethality of the bullet is the most terrifying distance.

Three large war airships, carrying at least 300 high-speed machine guns in the pods.

The airship swept slowly through the air, and the rain of bullets rained evenly over the heads of the highlanders.

When the war airship rowed across the battlefield and came to the rear of the wolves, an even more terrifying attack descended. On the pylons extending from both sides of the war airship, bombs with a diameter of 1,000 millimeters fell off and smashed heavily to the ground.

In the past, the 1,000-millimeter diameter bombs carried by these war airships were filled with black powder, and their lethality was already terrifying.

And now, these 1,000-millicaliber bombs are filled with new explosives that Joe offered.

An unusually loud and terrifying explosion sounded on the ground.

The black pillars of earth exploded hundreds of feet high, and countless stumps and severed arms sprayed thousands of feet away.

Even Salian, who ordered the manufacture of these large bombs, did not expect that even Joe, who gave these drawings, could not have imagined that these thousand-millicaliber bombs would exert such a terrifying effect on the battlefield.

Where the bomb landed, the highlanders and wolves within a radius of half a mile were either directly crushed to pieces, or completely lost all their ability to move, and all of them were so shocked that they could not even let out their wails.

Round bombs with a diameter of 1,000 millimeters were constantly falling from the sky.

There were so many bombs carried by the war airships, and the density of the drops was so great that the bombs landed at an insignificant interval of only five hundred feet......

The black earthen pillars continued to rise on the ground, the flames soared into the sky, and the loud noises were repeated, and under the three war airships, three death corridors were formed from east to west.

Salian stood on the hill, squinting at the lethal effects of the war airship and exhaling heavily.

"Wasted...... At least 80 percent of the lethality was wasted......"

Salian said coldly: "The tactical effect of the war airship with the new bomb is excellent, but we must pay attention to effective killing...... Lethality must not be wasted. It's all Golden Mark! ”

Salion, along with several generals of the War Department's logistics department, watched with intoxication and heartbreak as the mere twenty or thirty thousand Imperial troops slaughtered the Highlanders.

In the past, a raid of such a scale by the highlanders had to at least mobilize a million imperial troops to rely on the high walls of the city and rely on the battle forts to resist to the death, so that they could barely cope with the past, and only after these highlanders had grabbed a lot of money, and when they satisfied their brutal desires, these highlanders would return satisfied with the spoils.

And this time, the Imperial Army only used tens of thousands of elites, combined with new weapons, to form a hearty massacre of these murderous highlanders.

Even the commanders among those highlanders, their personal combat strength was equivalent to that of the Imperial Army's major generals, and their extraordinary fifth-order combat power was actually blasted into scum in front of the high-speed guns of thirty millicalibers......

And the stronger and more elite Black Wolf cavalry, they didn't even have a chance to rush to the line of the Imperial Army, they were bombarded to pieces by large-caliber howitzers and giant bombs!

"The way of warfare has changed dramatically."

"Relying on these new armaments, I am sure that the Imperial Army will have a huge strategic advantage over the entire Medland countries."

"Generals, dear generals, your mission has come...... How to maximize the performance of these new ordnance, and how to make better use of these new ordnance...... New tactics, new tactics, new strategic thinking, your mission is coming! ”

"Especially, ladies and gentlemen of the Military University, you must carefully study what the future of the Imperial Army will be, and what we must do to make the Imperial Army worthy of these powerful new weapons."

"Ladies of the Staff, do you have any opinions? With these new types of ordnance, the Empire ...... What should be done in the future? To Lucia, to the Ice Sea, to Nice, to St. Chia, to Gaul...... What kind of attitude should we maintain? ”

Salian's face flushed and he shouted, "However, there is no rush to ...... today Now, let us admire the roar of these artillery, let us admire, the blood and flesh of those highlanders! ”

The Highlanders are struggling, screaming, scurrying endlessly.

The elastic chain is flying in the roll.

Cannonballs are falling.

The Imperial soldiers had already leaned out of the trenches, laughing and scolding, pulling the trigger and knocking down one enemy after another who couldn't get close to them.
