407: Countless casualties!

Count Chu Ye's abacus played well, if he was replaced by a cunning opponent, then everyone would have a good time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Unfortunately, he met an opponent who had no room for sand in his eyes.

Yan Naier doesn't care if you're acting, after angering her, she just wants to kill you!

After Chu Ye completely gave up crossing the river, she immediately ordered to raise the muzzle of the cannon and aim at the position on the north bank of Chu Ye's army.

"Release, release, release, ......"

Half a shotgun, half a solid shell.

Crossing the river of more than 200 meters, it smashed towards the north bank of Chu Ye's army.

"Whoa......

At this distance, the shotgun is a little unsatisfactory in terms of lethality and hit rate.

But one by one, the soldiers fell!

In the case of solid shells, this distance is extremely lethal.

Although the north bank of the Nu River has been rested, it is still relatively narrow, and tens of thousands of troops are already crowded here.

Every solid shell hits the past.

"Bang ......"

After a loud bang, he directly ploughed a bloody path.

And because the ground here is hard, it is easy to cause ricochets.

Dozens of pounds of shells rampage through the crowd, and where they passed, their legs were completely broken.

A round of shelling more than 200 meters apart actually brought hundreds of casualties.

Earl Chu Ye almost jumped up, Sauron's wife, are you fucking stupid?

I'm no longer crossing the river, I've already started acting, and you're still beating me?

And at this very moment......

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Suddenly there was a whistling sound in the air.

The giant trebuchet hidden in the trench is starting to wield!

The gunpowder bag of several hundred catties was thrown by a giant hand, and then fell into the formation of Chu Ye's army.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

Earth-shattering explosion!

Countless soldiers were shattered to pieces, and corpses were flying!

At this time, Yan Naier felt that although the artillery was very powerful.

However, the lethality at medium and long distances is not as good as that of a trebuchet throwing a gunpowder bag, especially when the enemy army is very dense, and the explosive power of a few hundred pounds of gunpowder bag far exceeds that of any artillery shell.

Artillery, on the other hand, has the advantage of hitting long distances and is more accurate than trebuchets.

And the biggest advantage is that it hits shotguns at close range, and the lethality is simply incomparable.

Suddenly, Count Chu Ye wanted to cry without tears.

......

Wind Thunder Fort Line Battlefield!

Just now, hundreds of cannons bombarded the city walls, and trebuchets threw hundreds of primitive cluster bombs. (The explosives pack is packed with lead bullets, fragments, etc., which is actually very different from cluster bombs, at least these small shells do not explode.) )

In an instant, more than one million rounds of projectiles exploded on the ground of more than 100,000 square meters.

Whether it is the separation in the air or the Sauron on the city wall, it is clearly seen.

That area was empty in an instant!

Then the entire battlefield fell into a terrible silence. (just relatively)

And it was as if he had lost all consciousness.

The eyes can't see, the ears can't hear, it's just a boom.

After a while......

All consciousness gradually returned to the body.

Then, he saw the battlefield under the walls of Wind Thunder Castle, one soldier after another climbing up.

Everyone had blood on their bodies, even though they didn't know if it was their own, or if it was their enemy's.

When more than a million projectiles exploded violently just now, the area was instantly empty, as if everyone had died cleanly.

Actually, it's not like that!

This is not in the sea, nor in the Nu River, once a bullet is likely to fall into the water and disappear completely.

This is on the ground, many projectiles, shrapnel into the body, not necessarily immediately fatal.

And the crowd was crowded, and it was likely that some people were hit by dozens or hundreds of projectiles at once, and they couldn't die anymore.

And some people were blocked by their comrades in front, and they were only grazed by shrapnel and projectiles.

In the end, there were still more than 20,000 soldiers who got up from the ground.

Sauron visually estimated that the salvo of several hundred artillery pieces and the primitive cluster munitions of hundreds of catapults just now should have brought more than 10,000 casualties to the army below.

Therefore, most of the soldiers who charged the siege in the first wave were left.

Dian Li's body seemed to have completely recovered its temperature, and he said in surprise: "It's not over, there are still a lot left." ā€

Only Turingnor knew that even if there were more than 20,000 people left, it would be useless, because the momentum of the siege was suspended, and the order and formation were completely disrupted.

Originally, the distribution of fire shields was very particular so that most soldiers could be protected.

And now......

These so-called fireproof shields, which were bought at a high price, were all thrown on the ground.

Really......

"Bang ......"

Many holes in the walls opened, and then countless barrels of fire oil rolled down.

On the city wall, countless wrestlers smashed down with fire oil barrels.

Then, countless rockets were fired......

Many small and medium-sized scorpion trebuchets began to eject.

It's still that terrible powder pack cluster bomb.

"Bang ......"

Soldiers who have lost their organization and command can only be scattered sand.

A one-sided slaughter awaits them!

Burned to death!

Killed by a gunpowder bag.

Died by countless projectiles shot through the body!

In the end, the first wave of 50,000 soldiers besieging the city was completely wiped out.

They didn't even climb the walls effectively!

......

And at this moment, the second round of shelling of the defense line of Fort Wind Thunder was prepared!

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

Hundreds of artillery pieces, fired at the same time.

The target is the giant trebuchet that has left the position!

Fifty percent of solid projectiles, three percent of flowering bullets, and two percent of chain bullets.

This was an experimental shelling in order to demonstrate how powerful the flowering shells are under the existing technical conditions?

Then there is the comparison of the lethality of artillery and giant trebuchets at medium and long distances.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Hundreds of projectiles, swept like black lightning.

The results are optimistic, but they are also not promising.

The reason for the optimism is that whether it is a solid bullet or a chain bullet, it is very lethal even in land warfare.

Because there are too many armies, the array is too dense.

The solid bullet was shot out, and a bloody path was directly plowed. Everywhere he passed, there were completely corpses flying everywhere.

And the chain bullet is even more terrifying, like the scythe of death, flying all the way over, cutting off countless heads, but the power is far less than sea warfare, and it is not suitable for land warfare.

As for the flowering bombs, as expected, there were more than a dozen catties of gunpowder in each flowering bomb, and the lethality was really average, far inferior to the giant gunpowder bag.

Before the advent of high explosives, flowering bombs really did not mean much.

Not optimistic, because the target of Sauron's shelling this time was the enemy's trebuchet position.

But after a round of shelling, less than a dozen giant trebuchets were damaged.

This result is okay, but it is comparable to the result of a hundred giant trebuchets.

The Giant Trebuchet has a lower hit rate, but can throw hundreds of pounds of gunpowder balls, and if it explodes, targets within an entire radius will be affected.

"Destroy the enemy's trebuchet and crossbow positions with giant trebuchets. Sauron ordered: "All artillery, use solid cannonballs to attack the army from a distance!"

"Yes!"

......

The slight temperature that the body has just recovered from is now cold again!

Just now, he watched the first wave of 50,000 troops attacking the city die cleanly.

Not only him, but all the princes behind him can also see it clearly.

Confidence in all, really devastating!

Dian Li's gaze couldn't help but look towards Turingdor!

I saw that the first commander of the kingdom seemed to be a few years older, and because of the frowning, his originally very shallow wrinkles were like a knife.

"The second wave of siege troops, do you want to go up?" asked Li.

Turingto shook his head.

The second wave of 50,000 people sent it didn't make any sense.

The war was changed, by Sauron's gunpowder and artillery.

In the previous era of complete cold weapons, the number of soldiers played a decisive role.

And at this time, in front of the terrible war machine, a large number of people is no longer of much use, at best it is just a gift of heads.

"Throw fish oil bombs and destroy Sauron's giant trebuchet as much as possible!" said Turingto.

Turingtor discovered that although Sauron's artillery was amazing, it was not necessarily more lethal than trebuchet.

The huge powder bag thrown by the giant trebuchet just now, especially the primitive cluster bomb thrown at the end, is so lethal that it is no less than an artillery shotgun.

As a result, the two armies began to bombard each other from a distance.

Hundreds of trebuchets from the army frantically threw fish oil bombs.

And Sauron's giant trebuchet, frantically throwing gunpowder packs.

Countless explosives, staggered through the air. Then fall into the opponent's position.

It has to be said that this fish oil bomb brought a lot of casualties to Sauron's army.

Once the army was hit, it turned out that more than a dozen people were completely burned.

And as soon as the trebuchet is hit, a raging fire immediately ignites.

And the most terrible thing is that after burning the powder pack, it explodes directly on the city wall. Not only did they blow up their trebuchets to pieces, but the soldiers who operated the trebuchets were also scattered.

In this way, the two sides bombarded each other frantically.

Before long, the entire walls of Sauron's Wind Thunder Castle seemed to be burning.

Sauron's hundreds of artillery pieces were aimed at the detached army hundreds of meters and thousands of miles away, shelling frantically.

The power of solid shells in land warfare completely refreshed Sauron's impression.

In naval battles, solid shells did not show extremely alarming lethality, inferior to chain, grape and shotgun.

But in land warfare, especially when the enemy is in a very dense formation, the power of solid bullets is extremely terrifying.

"Bang ......"

Once hit, it turned out to be dozens of meters away, and all the soldiers along the way were imprisoned and broken, and even shattered bones.

With luck, the shells landed on soft dirt floors.

Unlucky, it landed on the hard stone ground and caused a ricochet, which was even more lethal.

And the trebuchets on both sides hit each other!

Although Sauron also suffered heavy losses, in comparison, a few hundred pounds of gunpowder balls were much more powerful than fish oil bombs.

Each round of trebuchet volleys can inflict damage on the trebuchet position.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

In this way, both sides have been bombarding from a distance.

Turingto did this to regain the morale and confidence of the great army.

Because of the use of fire oil bombs to attack the defense line of Wind Thunder Fort, it looks really amazing.

After just a few volleys, the entire Wind Thunder Castle defense line seemed to be on fire.

In this way, from a visual point of view, the situation in Sauron seems to be in the bottom line, after all, the entire defense line is in flames.

In this way, the tragic impression of the annihilation of the 50,000 troops of the first wave of siege troops just now was diluted.

However......

This superficial advantage was completely destroyed by Sauron's artillery.

It's amazing, it's too far.

In the previous battlefield, as long as it was five hundred meters away, it was absolutely safe.

At this time, it is not safe even two or three miles away.

With each round of Sauron's shelling, all the great armies were terrified.

Because it's so terrible, it's so cruel!

Dozens of pounds of projectiles flew over, easily ploughing out a bloody path, and easily taking the lives of more than a dozen people, or even dozens of people.

This kind of artillery, either inaccurately, once accurate, will suffer countless casualties.

......

Lord Ironwood was one of the most hated princes of Sauron.

Of course, Sauron didn't do anything to him, and his hatred came mainly from fear.

Because his territory was in the southeastern provinces, and after Sauron became the acting governor of the southeastern provinces, he had been working against Sauron.

Every day he feared that one day Sauron would storm his city with an army and slaughter his entire people.

Now that he is leading hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Sauron, he is completely ecstatic and waiting for Sauron's destruction.

Yesterday, the scandal of Dio Li and Turingdo was revealed, and he had lingering palpitations. But so what, his current mortal enemy was still Sauron, and he stood firmly on the side of the detachment, watching Sauron crush to pieces.

After the outbreak of today's war, his blood was boiling, and he couldn't wait to take the lead and lead the soldiers to rush forward to kill.

But as soon as the battle began, he was instantly covered in cold.

The first wave of 50,000 troops was wiped out without even climbing the city walls.

It's horrible......

Next, Kuoli did not send troops to attack the city again, but bombarded it from a distance there.

The lord of Tiemu City was so anxious that he roared: "Why don't you attack the city? Why don't you attack the city? If 50,000 doesn't work, then 100,000, 150,000, 200,000! Kill Sauron with human life, and break his body into ten thousand pieces!"

And at this very moment......

Suddenly, there was a whistling in the air!

And then a black lightning bolt flew violently!

The Lord of Ironwood was shocked in his heart, this, what is this?

More than a dozen of his henchmen reacted quickly, and immediately blocked in front of the lord with their bodies, raising their shields to block!

"Bang ......"

With a loud bang, the cannonball easily shattered the shield.

"Puff puff ......"

Then, directly tear the bodies of several henchmen samurai.

And then!

"Bang ......"

More than twenty pounds of solid bullets smashed directly on the head of the Iron and Wood City Lord.

His head, like a ripe watermelon, burst open and shattered completely!

After shattering the head of the Ironwood City Lord, the projectile seemed to be exhausted and smashed to the ground.

"Ah......h

Immediately afterwards, there was an extremely terrible scream from the young master of Tiemu City.

Because, he suddenly felt that his legs were unconscious, and when he looked down, he saw a blur of flesh and blood from his crotch.

"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h

Suddenly, he let out an even more terrible howl!

......

The death of the Ironwood City Lord brought incomparable shock and terror to the high-ranking members of the Lili army.

At that time, he was three miles away from the defense line of Wind Thunder Castle!

That's it, and I was shot in the head!

Isn't it safe to be two or three miles away? In fact, the city lord of Tiemu is purely unlucky, and if he is hit at such a distance, he can really buy a lottery ticket.

But these nobles and princes who were greedy for life and afraid of death did not think so.

These cannonballs can kill the Ironwood City Lord, and naturally they can also kill them.

Suddenly, all the high-ranking nobles, all the princes, and all the high-ranking civil officials were cold on all fours, and the tide generally began to retreat.

As soon as these people retreated, the morale of the entire army fell instantly.

"Your Highness, you must retreat, otherwise it will cause a great rout!" said Turingto.

Centrifugal was dripping blood, gritted his teeth and said, "The army retreated five miles!"

Suddenly, countless cymbals rang out!

Hundreds of thousands of troops retreated in disarray, retreating to a distance of five miles.

The 450,000-strong army attacked the defense line of Fenglei Fort, and on the first day alone, it lost tens of thousands and retreated several miles.

And that's not even the scariest of all!

The most terrible thing is the political consequences after his defeat!

Yesterday, he and Turinto forcibly referred to the deer as a horse, completely suppressing everyone's inner discontent.

Now, it's likely to be a complete backlash!

After retreating to the camp, will anyone make a fuss? Will anyone rebel?

Even, take his detached head and go to Sauron?
