616 Attack!, Leming (2)
Baozi sincerely thanked Fengyu 99 for voting for 1 monthly ticket, and DeitySword for voting for 1 monthly ticket;
Utukul is located at the highest point outside of Leming, and you can see the distant land ahead even without a rangefinder. In front of Leming Castle, a winding road passes through the out-of-town settlement, where Leming Castle is guarded, and the pennant of the Salander flutters in the air against a weak blue sky.
Both the Salanders and the Viecians are staring at the road leading to Salander Kyoto, and on either side of this main road, there are gently undulating mountains, slowly stretching to the north and south. But this gentle stretch, which is less than two kilometers away, suddenly becomes steeper, and the composition of the mountain is no longer mud, but mossy granite.
Thousands of mountains are infinite, there is a path, the atmosphere of the war is spreading, in the past, you can occasionally see one or two guys who are curious to look at the castle heights, these days even such lookouts are gone, the fortified castle tower is full of rows of archers, they are vigilantly looking at any target within 100 meters of the castle
Both sides felt the pressure from the other side's camp, and the garrison of Lyming City was also moving frequently, and some rudimentary wooden arrow towers appeared on the road leading to the city wall, and the road was full of obstacles used to block the enemy.
Outside the city, the siege equipment of the Vicchian army had been prepared, and hundreds of siege towers stood on the side of the barracks, and these heroic towers made of wooden zuò from the nearby mountains looked like a row of giants covered in cyan moss from a distance, and the squadron leaders of each camp adjusted their final deployment according to their respective attack directions
Utukul skillfully scaled the size of the rangefinder lens, this is a relatively primitive shelling distance rangefinder and corrector, they are fixed on the side of a mountain rock by an iron tripod, can swing up and down left and right, although this rudimentary first generation of instruments, can not get extremely accurate distance numbers, but with rich experience, Utukul can roughly calculate the amount of gunpowder and firing height that the Thor cannon needs to fill,
That's why Walkus personally went to Dustrenke, and without an experienced rangefinder, it would be difficult to measure the arc distance between two points without such a complex terrain.
This kind of rangefinder with rich combat experience is rare in the army, and even if there is, it is a person from the Central Army, and the Southern Army cannot be transferred, and it happens that the privateer fleet is transferred to Salander to fight, and such resources will not be damned.
Who doesn't know, the warships destroyed under the guns of the privateer fleet Thor are at least in the hundreds, Dustrenkai agreed very happily after thinking about it, he knew that the army unit that attacked Lemon Castle this time was equipped with the latest large-caliber Thor, and he just took this opportunity to understand the power of this enhanced version of Thor
"840m-890m"
With rich experience, Utukul whispered the distance in his mouth, and felt some doubts in his heart, such a long distance has exceeded the shooting distance of 600 meters of the general Thor, but since the above has to measure the distance at this point by itself, the position of the natural Thor should also be near this point,
"Is there really a new weapon?"
Thinking of the squadron leader's words just now, Utukul's heart beat paused, he straightened his right hand, and raised his thumb to gesture at the height of Leming City in the distance, and secretly smacked his tongue in his heart
"This is too unreliable!"
Utukul put down his hand a little frustrated, since he became a rangefinder, calm analysis has become his professional habit, because the Thor cannon is a smoothbore gun, the shells are erratic, if there is a strong wind, the shells are blown off the track a lot, which is very common in naval battles, so the range of 600 meters Thor curve gun, but can only wait until the enemy enters the range of 300 meters to start aiming, and can shoot the target less than one-tenth of the first shot, you can imagine how lucky you were at the beginning
Firing at the enemy from a distance of 500 meters, with the sophistication of Utukul, he did not dare to imagine what the situation would be, even if the shell was blown back by the wind and hit his own people, it was completely possible!
Some recruits of the Northern Army hid curiously in the distance, constantly looking in the direction of Utukul, constantly whispering to each other, the squadron leader in charge of vigilance, Barusser, could only let the soldiers pull up a cordon 30 meters away, but this still could not stop many curious eyes,
This is the most high-profile and embarrassing day in Utukul, not only is it really the attention of 10,000 people, who told him to stand on the highest point, and finally even the girl in charge of logistics and medical care also rushed over when she heard the sound, they were originally stationed in the rear of the army, more than 2,000 meters away from here, but there was too much commotion here,
The chirping sound of these curious girls was like an active yellow warbler jumping, and the curious gaze of the opposite sex made the shy young officer a little overwhelmed, he couldn't explain, and he didn't want to explain, because it would take at least a day to explain.
The rangefinder is such a thing, which was also equipped with the navy not long ago, it has created a new era of naval warfare, so that the accuracy of the artillery bombardment of the Vekia Navy has increased by a step, at least 30 percent, this simple and complex little thing, so that many experienced artillerymen also feel smacked, with it, the training speed of an artilleryman is reduced by at least two-thirds of the time, it gave birth to the elite branch of the navy, "rangefinder"
As for Utukul himself's real weapon, it is an extremely elaborate naval scimitar, but it is also a weapon that will be used in the final battle. The rangefinder is the soul of greatly improving the attack ability of the battleship, and any captain will not be willing to let him go to the battlefield, and when he really needs the rangefinder to participate in hand-to-hand combat, it is basically the last moment, and in normal times, he can't even touch it, because he simply doesn't have enough time to learn the skills of hand-to-hand combat
I don't know why, the situation in front of me suddenly gave Utukul an impulse,
He wanted to go back to the navy, to the furious waves on the undulating deck of the battleship, the blue sea, the vast sky, the white sails, the mighty and agile dragon's tooth ship breaking through the waves, the roaring Thor fire reflecting the hideousness of the red sky, and most importantly, there were his real brothers, a group of brothers who get along day and night, life and death together.
And here, he felt so out of place, like a stranger!
"If you've seen enough, spread out, what is this for? It's all idle and painful, don't you have a lot of time to run five thousand meters."
A familiar and loud voice dispersed the crowd of onlookers, and the Rio Hans squadron leader who had just chatted roared with a stern expression, and it could be seen that his prestige among these recruits was very high,
Although it was difficult to hide the feeling of the veteran oil, the hideous one-eyed on his face was enough to suppress these recruits who had not been on the battlefield, and many recruits who knew him ran away in fear.
The one-eyed butcher Rio Hans, who does not know in the entire flag group, the lives of those who died in his hands are not a hundred but eighty, and it is said that there are several unjust souls in the lines of those hands, and he has made a recommendation to the Duke's palace of Vecchia, and after this battle, he may have to be transferred to the Grand Duke's guard
"Hey, Rio Hans!" Several beautiful female soldiers waved at the veterans with fierce faces, seeing such a large group of female soldiers like flowers and butterflies gathered together, Rio Hans's eyes were green, and he subconsciously shrank his head,
"Gentlemen...... All of you sisters are here!"
Rio Hans's bare head was covered with beads of sweat, 30-year-old, licking an old face, nodding at a group of teenage girls, secretly crying in his heart, I can't live this day,
Who doesn't know that the wife's best friend is her husband's sworn enemy!
My wife is angry, and tonight will be in the soup,
Tomorrow is going to the battlefield, there will never be a winner in the cruel siege war, the arrows are raining, the corpses are all over the city, some are only more tenacious than whom, and they are not afraid of death, and the old Rio still wants to work the last night to see if he can leave a seed!
After finally getting rid of these delicate and tender aunts under the pretext of the military order of the superiors, Rio Hans came over with a sweat and a pale face.
Looking at Utukul who was staring at him with a strange face, the fierce and vicious squadron leader smiled awkwardly at the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said, "The old man in his 30s is in his 30s, is it easy for me to marry a daughter-in-law! If it weren't for the military order, I would rather go and attack the Leming city wall in front of me single-handedly than face this group of gossiping women!"
"Is there really a military order?" Utukul looked at him with a surprised face, just now he thought it was an excuse made up casually by Rio Hans.
"Yes!" Rio Hans's face suddenly became extremely stern, "I have received an order to transport a batch of secret weapons to this location tonight! Before dark, there will be total martial law within a hundred meters of this place!"
Night fell quickly, and under Utukul's puzzled gaze, more than a dozen black carriages pulled side by side by two war horses appeared at the foot of the mountain, the horses' hooves flew over, the black carriages moved at high speed under the light of torches along the way, and the heavy ruts pressed on the road that had rained during the day, splashing a burst of black mud,
There was a rumbling sound in the wind, showing the heaviness of the carriage, and the white air spewed out from the noses of the horses pulling the carts
The sound of horses' hooves sounded quickly, and nearly 100 cavalrymen in black armor appeared behind the dozen or so mysterious carriages that were galloping with difficulty, and their energetic eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance.
One of the leading knights looked in the direction of Utukul, and a strong murderous aura came with the wind
"Oh my God, it's the Grand Duke's guard!"
Just when Utukul was startled, Riohans, who was standing next to him, was already trembling with excitement, the red light of the torches shone half-brightly and half-dimly on the dark armor of these knights, and the curved waist saber revealed their extraordinary identity,
These murderous guards cavalry first patrolled around the top of the mountain, and after confirming safety, the leading guard captain ordered to open the carriage carrying heavy loads, and one by one huge objects were carried out with great difficulty by several guards, and lined up on the punctuation points prepared earlier, and the whole 12 siege thunder gods shone with a dark luster in the torches,
"Oh. This...... What is this!"
The short barrel flashed with a strong nature, and the huge metal muzzle was nearly ten times larger than that of ordinary Thor, which made Utukul, who was silently examining next to him, shudder and couldn't close his mouth.
With his understanding of the power of Thor, the bigger the muzzle, the greater the power, such a huge muzzle is simply a masterpiece of God, and the power is absolutely earth-shattering.
"Is it Lord Utukul?" Just as Utukul was still stunned, the captain of the guard who led the team turned over and dismounted in front of him, and asked with a stern face
After Utukul nodded a little dazedly, the black-armored captain of the guard straightened up and gave him a respectful military salute, which made Rio Hans next to him look dumbfounded, and a guard saluted the young man next to him, which was really incredible, and the tone also added the word adult, which looked extremely respectful!
"My name is Links, the captain of the sixteenth guards cavalry, according to the order of the Grand Duke, Your Excellency has been appointed as the commander of Thor for this battle, please give an order!"
