Chapter 134: Artillery Strikes

Su Lin came to support with thirty artillery pieces that had been made overnight, believing that success or failure would be another move.

At this time, the thirty guns in the back, each weighing several tons, were pulled by four or five horses in front, leaving deep rut marks on the ground.

And behind the artillery were a dozen wagons with boxes of shells.

When they reached the bottom of the canyon, Felicia greeted them, looked at the cannons and asked with a happy face, "What about the successful development of the artillery?"

"yes, it's time to teach these restless orcs a lesson. ”

Immediately Su Lin came to the city wall, looking at the dense half-orc team outside, his eyes still showed a hint of expectation, although the other party was outnumbered, but the power of the artillery should not be underestimated.

Felicia stood beside her, looking at the tons of artillery below, and hurriedly asked, "How did you get these cannons?"

Surin looked around, these cannons would not be transported to the city wall several meters high for a while, so a defensive formation had to be organized below.

Then he said to the people below: "Everyone on the city wall, all retreat for three miles. ”

"Your Majesty, if we lose the natural barrier of the city wall, there will be no room for resistance. Gru looked anxious.

"You don't have to worry, I have my own plans. ”

Then the defenders retreated three miles and opened a line on the steppe, with thirty guns lined up in front of the line, waiting for the sound of rage.

Cass is now leading the orcs to the outside of the canyon at this time, the army is pressing, and seeing that there is no one on the city wall, he can't help but be suspicious in his heart.

At this time, Sal walked over and said with a respectful face: "King, there were not many of them before, as long as we press the army again, we will definitely annihilate the human race in one fell swoop." ”

Hearing this, Cass also nodded, in the face of the superiority in numbers, all resistance is useless.

Then he waved his hand and gave the order to attack, and the orcs began to rush up like a tide, the siege ladder had been erected, and the earth dragon also drilled through the ground again.

After a while, the orcs easily attacked the canyon and began to rush towards the depths of the grassland.

But he didn't go far before he saw a human army standing in the distance, and they all couldn't help but stop and let out a roar.

At this time, the city gate at the canyon was also breached, and the orc army was entering through the city gate, but the city gate was only so wide, so it was still a while for the 500,000 troops to come over.

Surin rode on his horse and watched as the orcs were slowly approaching, now only a third of them had entered through the city gate, and the large army was still outside the canyon.

Seeing this, he couldn't help laughing, now was the time to close the door and beat the dogs, so he immediately let the artillery battalion start attacking.

Then the artillerymen went out and began to fill with gunpowder and shells.

When they were ready, they began to light the fuse with torches.

Boom, boom, boom

With a loud bang, the cannon sprayed shells and poured straight down like rain.

The orcs looked at these cannonballs that were as round as stones, and they didn't pay much attention to them, thinking that they were just ordinary stones, and they were very small.

Therefore, they just dodged to the side at random, but when the shells exploded and made a loud roar, they were also stunned, and many orcs were blown to pieces.

Seeing the cannonballs exploding around them, the orcs were also panicked, they had never seen this situation before, and the companions around them were gone all of a sudden, and they could find some stumps and broken arms.

Cass saw the constant explosions in front of him in the rear, and a large number of orcs were killed and wounded, so he immediately ordered to rush over, and if he stayed where he was, he could only be beaten.

At this time, those earth dragons could not stop the power of the cannonballs at all, and many earth dragons were directly killed on the spot, and their wings flew everywhere.

However, seeing that the troops in front of them could not rush forward at all, the dense artillery fire blocked all the roads ahead, and there was only a dead end to go up.

Moreover, the coverage of the artillery fire is still constantly moving backwards, and it is believed that it will soon fall nearby.

Cass then gave the order to retreat, turned and walked back. ”

Felicia on the other side saw this scene and said excitedly: "They have finally retreated, shall we catch up?"

Su Lin waved his hand and refused: "Now the shells are gone, so you can't chase it, let's defend first!"

"Why don't you know how good it is to save a little more. ”

"If you don't use up these thousands of shells at once, how can you scare them away. ”

"I'm scared away now, so what will I do after that?"

"I can only wait for Tim and they to make the shells and send them over. ”

After the orc retreated, Cass immediately asked his subordinates to count the casualties, this is also the first time he has seen this new weapon, and it is not like a magician, it can continue to attack, it is very fierce, and it is also a heavy casualty for a while.

After a while, Sal walked in and reported: "Patriarch, the casualties have been counted, and there are more than 70,000 dead and wounded in total, what is the next plan?"

Cass walked around the tent, bowed his head in contemplation, and then spoke: "The reason why we will fail today is because we don't know about each other's new weapons, but now it seems that it is also a long-range weapon, as long as our people can get close, destroying those weapons is also a very simple matter, you immediately bring someone to do this." ”

"Understood, Patriarch. ”

As the night fell, Surin lay in bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, always feeling that something was going to happen.

Felicia sat up and asked, "What's the matter, are you sitting in nightmares again?"

Su Lin looked at her and asked seriously, "Do you have any bad feelings or something?" ”

Hearing this, Felicia shook her head: "No, I slept well, very soundly." ”

Hearing this, Su Lin also sighed, thinking that it is not a woman's sixth sense is not quite accurate, how could it not be heard.

Then he stepped out of the tent and went outside to give each other fresh air, trying to calm his restless heart.

Before he knew it, Surin had come to the artillery camp position, and thirty guns were parked in the clearing, covered with cloth.

Just as he was about to turn to leave, he suddenly felt a vibration on the ground, and then the earth dragon rushed out from the side, followed by a group of half-orcs.

And Su Lin also rolled to the side, and then kicked down a rushing orc, and at the same time picked up an axe, and slashed into the chest of the orc.

At the same time, the nearby defenders also dared to come over and began to encircle and suppress these orcs.

But at this moment, the goal of those orcs is also very clear, I saw that they pounced on those cannons, and began to pick up clubs and axes to cut at the cannons, and suddenly sparks burst out, and the sound of bells and bells rang out endlessly.

But no matter how hard they slashed, but outside of the sparks, basically the artillery was unscathed, after all, it was made of pure steel, and now there was no explosives, so it was basically impossible to destroy the artillery.

It didn't take long for the raiding orcs to fall in a pool of blood, and the night fell silent again.

Surin was put under strict guard, then returned to the tent and sat on the bed.

"And this time there is nothing serious, if there is no artillery, then we can't hold this place at all. Felicia grumbled worriedly.

"Yes, the artillery is only coming out now, and it will definitely be invincible for a while, but as time goes by, after the artillery is understood, the deterrent effect will be greatly reduced. ”

"Don't think about it so much, I can't sleep now, what should I do?"

"Since you can't sleep, then don't sleep!"

With that, Surin hugged Felicia, and his hand reached into her clothes dishonestly, and suddenly a seductive gasp sounded.

When Cass received the news of the failure of the mission, he immediately retreated with his troops, thinking about a plan for dealing with it, while continuing to wait for the orc army to arrive.

Early the next morning, Surin woke up early, looked at the blushing Felicia beside him, he couldn't help but go down and kiss her on the forehead, then got dressed and walked out, and left in a griffon to return to Victor.

He believed that after the baptism of heavy shells, the orcs would not act rashly for a while. So he had to go back and look at the creation of artillery and shells, and at the same time produce new weapons.

Once back at Victor, Surin went to the Weapons Research Institute on the hill and summoned Tim and the other technicians to the conference room to discuss the next plan.

"How is the speed at which artillery and shells are being made now?" Surin asked first.

"Your Majesty, it takes three days to build a cannon now, and dozens of shells can be made a day. ”

Nowadays, the machines in the arsenal are mostly semi-automatic instruments, and the speed is still very good in this era.

Immediately, Surin took out two more drawings, distributed them to everyone, and said at the same time: "Tim, now you immediately gather a group of people, and I will command the manufacture of new scimitars and armor to deal with the heavy soldiers of the orcs."

Tim looked at the drawings, and saw a streamlined scimitar popping up on the paper, with a thin blade and a thick spine, which was very pleasing to the eye, and the drawings of the armor were not the most popular whole armor now, but scale armor.

Then he said to Su Lin: "Your Majesty, why don't you continue to eat swords and use swords instead?"

"Because knives are more fluid mechanical, they are suitable for chopping. Su Lin replied with a smile, this is all a bloody lesson from the long history of war, and that armor is not an ordinary armor, it is a cold forging armor.

Tim didn't continue to ask questions, and immediately went down to gather people.
