Chapter 453: The Power of Dwarven Artillery

Cartagena's western front was "stabilized" by Gnison's manipulation.

Carl Ruth received Vidnina's instructions to slow down the advance of the army of the undead, and the fight was steady.

During this time, an undead beast was smashed by several stone throwers, and it was not one of the few that Vidnina particularly liked, so it didn't matter.

According to this trend, the army of the undead would grind in front of the last layer of the fortress for two days, and by the time Gnison had promised, it would be under the walls.

Anyway, Vidnina wasn't afraid that Gnison would deceive her, the fifth-order dark magic Dark Oath was not so easy to lift, and even the Great Magus of Light would have to work hard.

And the Orc Alliance can't have a Great Magister of Light.

Of course, she didn't expect to rely on just one magic to completely control Gnison, when the time came, she would enter the city if she could, and if she couldn't, she would fight if she couldn't, her treasures were there, and Vidnina didn't know what it was to be afraid.

It is...... What a hassle!

- When you get home, you must ask the annoying Sandru for more reward, at least half of the reward this time!

Thinking so, Vidnina slipped into the mobile dormitory on the back of the undead mammoth, changed into a pair of pajamas, and prepared for a good night's sleep.

She was about to close her eyes when she saw a vine come in, and a beautiful little flower bloomed on it.

Vidnina plucked the flower and clipped it to her ear.

The really steady advance is the Lone Peak Dwarf north of Cartagena.

After a battle with the elite troops of the black orcs, the army of dwarves in Lone Peak suffered many casualties.

Dwarves are short, charge slower when besieging cities, require more steps to climb walls, and are more exposed to enemy fire for longer periods of time, making them more dangerous.

If the dwarven army, which is already small in numbers, forcibly attacks the city, I am afraid that if it breaks through the city wall, there will be no one left.

But the dwarves are not only talented in mining and blacksmithing, they are the most skilled in the world.

Strange to say, the intelligence of the intelligent race in the Hess world must be the elves the highest, the blood race is second, the humans and the sea tribe are tied for the third, and the dwarves can only be ranked fifth.

But it's just that the fifth-most intelligent race has the highest level of science and technology, and if you want to say the reason, it may be that their temper and concentration rank first in the whole race.

The highest technological power of the dwarves is in the holy peak in the north of the Hess continent, and the lonely peak is good at weapon armor forging, and the level of science and technology is poor, but it is still no problem to take out a few cannons.

Mortars are the most typical and common artillery pieces of dwarves.

The mortar has a short body and a relatively simple structure, which can be made into a giant mortar or a light mortar that can be perfectly operated by only three people.

Light mortars were easy to transport and could keep up with heavy infantry, and were the dwarves' main siege weapons and long-range strike weapons.

Due to the short barrel of the mortar gun, its range is relatively short, and the angle of the shells fired is extremely high, which is why it is not easy to accurately hit the target.

The accuracy is not enough firepower to make up, the shells of the mortar cannons are extremely powerful, and it is very easy to destroy the city wall without the protection of a special magic array, if it falls in a group of enemy troops, it is a formation to eliminate the enemy.

In addition to mortars, dwarves also have cannons.

The characteristics of the cannon were almost the opposite of the mortar, it had a long barrel, a low firing angle, a long firing range and high accuracy.

Although its power is not as terrifying as that of the mortar cannon, it is a sharp weapon for precise strikes against the city walls, and the lethality of the giant beast is equally amazing.

If you let the Thunderfang, Stonehorn, or Giant

When the Terrans went to fight the dwarves, it was estimated that at least half of the troops would have died under cannon fire.

The most powerful cannon of the dwarves is called the Thunder Cannon, which is the most technical product of the dwarves in artillery, and is named after the sound of thunder when fired and when the cannonball explodes.

The Thunder Cannons on the fortress-type cannons were obtained by Orfina with great effort, and after she got the Thunder Cannons, she dismantled one overnight, and with the ingenuity of the girl, she almost failed to put them back.

The manufacturing technology of the Thunder Cannon is mastered in the Holy Peak

In the hands of the dwarves, the dwarves of Lonely Peak will not build.

But it doesn't matter, to collapse the walls of the orc's fortress, you don't need a thunder cannon yet.

The Lone Peak Dwarves have twenty-eight mortars and fifteen cannons, which is enough firepower.

The range of the mortar cannon is relatively close to that of the cannon, and its bombardment range can be much farther than the heavy catapult, after all, the catapult relies on the gravity of the weight to provide power, and the mortar relies on the violent combustion of gunpowder to produce thrust, and the two cannot be compared.

The maximum range of the dwarven mortar could reach three kilometers, and the cannon could reach six kilometers, and now the artillery was located in a safe position of two kilometers, pouring shells into the fortress complex. Xiushu.com

The dwarves had only begun their siege yesterday afternoon, and by the evening the first layer of the fortress had collapsed, with an astonishing efficiency.

The orcs really didn't have a good way to deal with it for a while, they could only faintly see the fire from the muzzle of the cannon when the gun was fired, and they wanted to rely on the trebuchet to bombard, but the range difference was too far to hit at all.

The best solution for destroying artillery is a surprise attack with mobile units, both air and cavalry units.

But the dwarven army is probably the least afraid of cavalry in the world, with a group of tightly formed iron cans in front of the artillery, and the orc boar cavalry and goblin wolf knights have no chance of approaching the artillery.

The dwarves don't have an air force, so it's a good idea to use the air force to forcibly destroy the artillery.

The problem is that the Orc Alliance's air force losses are very large, and after the death of the "Manticore Holy Lord" Orisma and the Manticore Lion King, the main force of the air force, the Manticore, is not very obedient.

In this case, after the first few fortresses and the walls were blown to pieces, the orc side could only withdraw the defenders in the fortress in advance, and watched the first layer of the fortress be blown up.

Then in the evening the dwarves ceased fire.

The barrels of artillery need to be maintained, and they are the side with huge advantages and are not in a hurry at all.

At dawn the next day, the dwarves set up their cannons again and continued their attack.

The commander of the orcs to the north is an ordinary martial saint named Kroger who is not ranked among the Seven Gods of War.

His strength is not much different from the dead Seven Gods of War last seat "Euphorbia" Korg, if he is not dead after the war, he will be promoted properly.

Kroger has nothing to do with the dwarven artillery and takes the initiative to attack? Just kidding, he can't beat the tough Lone Peak Dwarf King "Stoneheart" Malkem.

Kroger could only stand at the head of the city and silently calculate the time remaining for the shells to fall on the walls of Cartagena, and came up with a figure: four hours.

He calculated how long the walls would last, sighed and shook his head.

Can't survive today.

In order not to be the first to be breached, Kroger plans to go to the Grand Chief Grull for help, and in order to avoid the destruction of the city, he must destroy the dwarven artillery positions with thunder.

In other words, it takes a lot of strong thugs to get on it together.

Kroger was just about to leave, when there was a wave of space in front of him, and several figures walked out of the spatial portal.

The first one was the Hongyuan woman he coveted, and the play was empty.

Most of the orcs have a desire to say it, Rao is other party's strength is much higher than him, and Krog's eyes are still very hot.

Xi Kong glanced at him, only felt that it was ridiculous, so he laughed softly.

"Hehe, Krog, you'll have to work hard to date me."

"Can you skip the date?" Kroger asked.

The empty laughter is becoming more and more dangerous.

"Okay, I choose to work hard. Did the Great Chief get you here?"

"No, your Great Chief is fighting hard, but he doesn't have time. I'm here to deal with the trouble."

"It's really troublesome, the dwarven artillery is too powerful, and if you don't deal with it, the walls will be destroyed within today." Kroger spoke his judgment.

"Got it, come with me later."

"Willing to serve."

Drama Sky found Kroger a few minutes ago.

With the roar of artillery, Marchem laughed loudly: "Haha

Ha, Shande, is the artillery of our lonely peak fierce?"

"Fierce! It's too fierce!" Sander praised again and again, and then whispered to a flower.

"I said Shande, don't you look at such a spectacular shelling, what are you talking about with a flower? It's strange, how can there be flowers in this wasteland?"

Shande's back was straight, and he had a bright smile on his face, "How beautiful this flower is."

"If you weren't as tall as me, I doubt you'd be a dwarf!" Malchem said disdainfully, "Picking up a flower is better than drinking a few large beers, what a sissy!"

Shandehun didn't care, and then talked to the flowers.

"Hey, when the orc walls are destroyed today, do we have to wait for other places to attack the city together?"

"Of course, it's a bit difficult for us dwarves to take this Cartagena."

"Hmph, the dwarves of my lonely peak are brave and invincible, how can they not take the city of orc things?" Marchem patted his muscle-filled chest and said proudly.

Shander hurriedly persuaded, "I believe that the dwarven army can be victorious under your leadership, but you don't want the dwarven brothers to suffer too many casualties, do you? If they are willing to follow you, you have an obligation to bring them back to Lonely Peak."

Marchem stroked his beard that had been tied into several braids, nodded and said, "What you say makes sense, but can humans do it?" And to the west is the skeleton shelf besieging the city, right? Will that work?"

"According to reliable sources, the human and undead armies have made good progress, and although it is estimated that the city gate will be breached today, it will definitely be able to break through the city wall by tomorrow night at the latest."

"What's the news? Why didn't I see you getting the message?"

Shander put away the flowers and smiled, "Confidential. If you want to know, I'll tell you the next time you win."

"Hehe, this day won't be too far away!" Malkem is full of fighting spirit.

"But Shande, what's this...... Is the Gate of Descent as evil as you say?"

"Of course, I'm not exaggerating at all, you can lead the army to the battle, you are really saving the world!"

"Haha, it's easy to save the world or something...... Hey, do you feel the ground tremble?"

As soon as Malkem's voice fell, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "All the artillery retreat immediately!"

The tremor of the earth became more and more apparent, and Malkaem and Sander immediately flew into the sky.

There have been almost no earthquakes in the rocky desert wasteland, and the only thing that can cause such a vision is that something big is drilling out of the ground!

"Boom!"

With a loud and long-lasting crack, a huge otherworldly beast emerged from the ground.
