Chapter 1013: DPS's Most Powerful Weapon (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

After more than half an hour of artillery fire, Prisca's rammed-earth walls were torn apart by artillery.

After all, artillery can be called the god of war, and its power is definitely not covered.

The staff officers under the command of the lord had been fine before, and had conducted several tests.

It is proved that the attack power of a cannon firing a flowering bullet is basically equivalent to the full attack of a great magician above the middle level.

DPS is old. It can be described as an absolutely indispensable and powerful weapon for fighting monsters and farming dungeons.

And compared to the most effective flame bombs launched by the magicians during the siege of the city, the effect is only strong but not weak.

Although the mage's flame bombs also have an explosive effect, they are only magical attacks after all, and they do not have pure physical attacks with shrapnel splashes.

Chapter 1013 DPS The Most Powerful Weapon (Asking for a Monthly Pass) In this era, although there are many magicians, they are not yet extravagant enough to attack a small city, and they also need fifteen middle-level great magicians to go into battle together.

And more than half an hour of saturation attacks was enough to make those magicians tired like dogs, and how long their tongues spit out.

Without three or five days of rest, it is simply impossible to recover combat strength.

Therefore, as soon as this cannon appeared on the stage of war, it was immediately warmly welcomed by all war maniacs.

It's cheap, it's abundant, and it's extremely obedient. The operation is simple, flexible and convenient.

As long as you send a few small soldiers, pull them out, load them with ammunition, and you can fight. And the lethality is also quite amazing.

Whether it's a siege, murder and arson, or a home trip, or a roadblock robbery, all are must-have guys.

Compared to it, those magicians with eyes above the top are even inferior to dogs~!

No matter where they go, they are all like uncles, they have to eat, drink and serve all day long, even if they beg them to make a move, they have to accompany the smiling faces for a long time. In this way, whether you can make a move or not depends on the mood of the other party.

Therefore, after being equipped with artillery, the morale of these new troops was particularly high. Especially when only the most powerful weapon of the 1013th chapter DPS (asking for a monthly pass) fights the enemy by itself, and the opponent can't hit himself. The pups were all overjoyed.

With a loud roar, the cannonballs whistled out of the barrels, flew over the heads of the soldiers with a sharp sound, and then slammed heavily on the opposite wall, and on the thick wall burst out a cloud of orange and black flames, and the bricks and stones of the explosion flew and made large holes in the wall.

Every now and then, the soldiers all raised their swords in their hands excitedly and screamed wildly.

The rebel soldiers who were originally guarding the city wall had already seen the power of the cannon yesterday, and as early as when the new army pushed out the artillery, they all fled from the city wall quickly, hiding in the thick wall to avoid the artillery fire.

After the shelling stopped, the entire city of Priska fell silent, except for the smoke that was still slowly burning, and the shadow of a rebel soldier on the city could not be seen.

Although all the new officers and soldiers were cheering and howling just now, at this time, when they saw the bombed city wall, they were also silent for a while.

The power of that cannon is really too powerful. With one shot, such a thick city wall was also blown out of the big gap, if it was blown on one's body......

Just thinking about that situation is enough to make people feel a chill.

At the same time, they felt a burst of happiness: fortunately, that thing is from their side~!

For a while, everyone was talking in whispers.

The knightly officers saw this, and shouted at their soldiers, trying to silence them. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little anxious and ...... And a hint of fear.

Will this martial arts practice still be useful in the future?

Is it still useful?

, this cannon is earth-shattering, even the paladin can't resist it~!

This winter practice Sanjiu, summer practice Sanfu, hard work to temper and upgrade, what's the use~!

What's the use~!

No matter how high you practice, no matter how good your defense is, as a result, you will be beaten to pieces?

No wonder the bastard of 'three feet high' Luo Sanchi scrapes the ground all day long, with a lustful voice and horses, and he doesn't do his job at all, and he used to think that he was a waste of time. Now it seems that he was right.

And the guy who buries himself in hard training all day and practices martial arts to strengthen his body is an out-and-out stupid fork.

If you knew this, who still practiced what martial arts, what level to upgrade, and how good it was to spend all their time on picking up girls?

While thinking, they turned their heads one after another and looked in the direction of Shuai Qi. Waiting for the upcoming command.

Lorraine and Hassell stood behind the artillery position, and after carefully observing the city of Prisca with their binoculars, they slowly raised their right hand and pointed forward.

The herald next to him immediately raised his throat and shouted hoarsely: "My lord has an order, attack~!"

"Attack~!", "Attack~!", "......" The order was passed on.

The officer at the forefront of the first attack phalanx was already impatient, and as soon as he received the order, he immediately raised the war knife in his hand and roared loudly: "Brothers, rush~!"

As he spoke, he slashed forward with the war knife in his hand, and then took the lead and killed the town not far away.

Behind him, those soldiers also let out a tidal shout, carrying huge wooden shields, ladders and other siege tools. Run briskly up the walls.

Looking down from the sky, you can clearly see that the originally neat phalanx is boiling all at once.

Like a tidal wave, it rushed towards the city wall not far away.

When the rebel soldiers in the city heard the shouts, they knew what was happening - the Forces nouvelles had begun to attack the city.

"Go to the city wall, go to the city wall quickly~!"

"Take the guy in your hand and get ready to fight~!"

"You bunnies, go up to the city wall~!"

“......”

The rebel officers screamed one after another, but the soldiers, who had been frightened by yesterday's shelling, cowered and did not dare to go up the walls.

The officers immediately and unceremoniously brandished their swords, leather whips.

At the same time, he scolded angrily.

"Cowards, pick up your weapons~!"

"When the enemy attacks, he doesn't open fire, he goes up and fights. ”

"Wait for them to come up and kill you?Hurry up and fight~!"

"Those who dare to escape from the battle will be killed without mercy~!"

"Brothers, the enemy came up and fought with them~!"

"The general has an order, whoever beheads the enemy will be rewarded with ten gold coins~!"

“......”

They shouted angry and punched and kicked as they drove the poor soldiers up the walls to defend themselves against the impending attack.

When the Nova army was about to approach the city wall, a large number of rebel soldiers also appeared on the wall of Priska, who grabbed bows and crossbows and other weapons and fired at the approaching New Army soldiers.

Some of the Forces nouvelles raised their shields, while others used the planks they carried with them to resist.

In their rear, the archers and crossbowmen of the new army had also arrived in position, drawing their bows and firing arrows at the soldiers at the head of the city.

For a moment, arrows rained down.

After approaching the ditch dug in front of the city wall, the soldiers of the new army threw down the planks under the rain of arrows, paved the road, stepped on the planks to lead to the gully, and rushed to the walls of Prisca, ready to climb the ladder.

Lorraine has been holding the telescope carefully, focusing on the offensive and defensive battles on the city wall, and nodding slightly when he sees this, the enemy's reaction is expected.

General Hassel frowned, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, such a siege would have no effect at all, but he hesitated, what to do next, whether to change the plan.

Hassel himself has no experience in siege warfare, and according to him, the Flying Eagle God of War next to him does not seem to have experience in siege warfare, and most of the battles he has fought since his debut have been in the field.

Hassel secretly said in his heart: No matter what, the experience is exchanged for lessons, and you know how to fight when you fight. However, the losses can be much heavier.

Lorraine put down her glasses and said flatly: "Okay, let them withdraw." ”

Hassel secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered loudly: "Collect the troops and let them withdraw." ”

Here the Nova Army sounded the horn of retreat, and the Nova soldiers under the city wall with the bows and arrows of the defenders threw down their rudimentary siege tools and quickly retreated from the road they had come.

The Haddou soldiers in the city let out a burst of cheers and chased the new soldiers with their crossbows and shots in their butts.

The defenders who had been hit by the two shellings were extremely aggrieved, and this feeling of being beaten passively was the most uncomfortable. Now that they have repelled an attack by the New Army, they feel a big sigh of relief, and they even point to the back of the New Army soldiers who are evacuating and scold: "Don't run away, grandson, there is a kind of coming again." ”

Hassell aimed at the crowded defenders at the head of the city with a telescope, and his heart moved, and he turned his head and ordered loudly: "Take advantage of this time to fire at the head of the city~!"

Lorraine glanced at Searle and smiled, secretly thinking that he couldn't remember.

Lorraine didn't have the heart to remind Hassell that as a commander in command of the Almohad government, if he didn't even have this nimble mind, then Lorraine would have to remind Queen Isabella to change people when he returned.

This kind of thing must be understood by himself, otherwise he will only have new weapons, but he will not be able to develop new tactics, and this kind of general can only be an old stubborn.

On the contrary, it is a famous general who can see the advantages of a new weapon and study the most suitable method for using them.

With Hassel's order, the artillery had already been adjusted and quickly fired.

As the gunsmoke from the muzzle of the cannon flashed, the cheers of the defenders on the city wall suddenly stopped, and they shouted anxiously: "Run, run~!"

Before they could finish their words, the cannonballs landed on the city walls, smashed into the crowd of the city, and then exploded at a distance.

From a distance, the recruits saw a flash of fire on the city of Prisca, and after the explosion, a large number of rebel soldiers disappeared from the city walls.

Because the enemy was crowded on the walls, the effect of this shelling was far greater than the previous two.

The retreating Forces nouvelles soldiers were so relieved that some simply stopped and turned to point at Priska and curse bitterly.

Soon, the troops of the first siege withdrew to Lorraine and Hasser.

"How's the loss?" Lorraine glanced at the New Army soldiers besieging the city.

The officer who led the siege saluted and said, "Because of the full preparation, the preliminary estimate is that the casualties are about more than 100 people." ”

Lorraine nodded, the casualties were not high, of course, mainly because of the timely retreat, and then asked, "Do you think we can take the city wall at the moment?"

The officer shook his head decisively and said, "You can't rely on this method. ”

"Do you think there's a better way?" Lorraine looked at the officers beside him and said, "You all talk about it." ”

The officer who led the attack thought for a moment and said, "I think our artillery bombardment stopped too early, and the enemy had enough time to run up the city wall. If the cannon keeps blazing, just stop while we kick the wall. The enemy will not have time to stop us. ”

The people around nodded their heads, and it seemed to them that the situation was too long, and there was too much time between the cessation of the shelling and the siege of the troops.

"Okay," Lorraine nodded, "Collect the troops today, continue tomorrow, and try it the way you say." ”

The day on the battlefield passed like this, and early the next morning, the artillery of the Forces nouvelles began bombardment of the walls of Priska again.

The defenders of the city had gained experience and hid under the walls waiting for the shelling to pass.

At this time, the besieging troops left the camp and marched as close to the walls as possible.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the attack horn sounded in the rear, and the soldiers in front rushed towards the city wall with their heads down.

At this time, the enemy was still hesitating whether the artillery fire had really stopped, and it was not until the new army came to the front that they reacted and immediately went to the city to defend.

Some of the Nova soldiers managed to climb the city walls, but they were soon surrounded by a swarm of guards, and the soldiers under the city were unable to meet the people of the city with ladders alone, and the soldiers of the new army were soon crushed under the city, and the situation was the same as yesterday.

Seeing this, Lorraine decisively ordered the troops to be withdrawn, and today's battle ended here.

Then Lorraine gathered the officers together and asked, "What do you think of today?"

Hassel shook his head and said, "Prisca's wall is too high, and it is very unfavorable to climb the wall to attack the city. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"What do you think?" asked Lorraine blandly.

Hassel thought for a moment and said, "You can't achieve your goal with simple siege equipment alone. I think they should make siege ladders on the spot. As long as the soldiers can quickly climb the city walls, it will not be a problem to take them. ”

Most people nodded and said, "Yes, that's the way." ”

"Well," said one of the officers cautiously, "I wonder if we can just use artillery to destroy the walls." ”

"How many shells do we need? We can't replenish our shells, and they'll be gone when they run out. ”

"We've been bombarding for two days, and the enemy's walls haven't been destroyed much. ”

The crowd raised objections.

"Can we focus all the artillery on a little bomb. I saw that if we hit it right, we could tear off a large part of the wall at once. ”

Everyone suddenly realized that if they thought like this, it was not impossible, and many times no one had the brain to turn this corner quickly.

This is the same as engaging in tablet computers, other large consumer electronics companies are not without this technical strength, but no one has done it for so many years, and when the first one comes out, they will swarm to follow, but their brains have not turned this circle.

Hassel looked at Lorraine and asked, "What do you say, my lord?"

Lorraine smiled slightly and said, "Both methods are good, very good, everyone prepares at the same time." ”

Everyone was stunned, wondering if it was too much time to do this.

The next day, Prisca's defenders were surprised to find that their enemy was no longer bombarding the walls, and the artillery was staring at a section of the wall, all aimed there.

For a whole day, the cannon hardly stopped, except when eating.

The walls shook incessantly under the bombardment, and the defenders behind the walls were shaken by the sound of explosions.

However, the first day of the bombardment of the walls of Priska was not satisfactory, and a large layer of soil was peeled off, but it was far from being able to collapse.

The Forces nouvelles were somewhat discouraged by this outcome.

Hassel asked Lorraine whether to stop shelling the city walls, which would consume too much ammunition and it was difficult to judge whether it would succeed in the future.

Lorraine didn't care, waved his hand, told him it was okay, and boomed. Weakening the walls will at least reduce casualties in future sieges.

In the days that followed, in the eyes of everyone, the new army had learned its lesson and had been nervously preparing for the siege of Prisca in one fell swoop.

After several days of shelling, Prisca's earth-filled walls finally collapsed.

But before the Almohads could please, and before the shelling stopped at night, the defenders of the city rushed to repair the breach, using a large pile of building materials such as wood and stones, to plug the gap.

The artillery aimed at the repaired walls and continued to bombard, and then the defenders of Prisca City continued to repair them, and the two sides seemed to be engaged in an endless game, wasting their resources first.

The defenders of Priska City wrote a letter of help to the rear every day, one more urgent than the other, and in the eyes of the defenders in Prisca, their current situation was becoming more and more dangerous.

As soon as the preparations for the new army are completed, the fall of Priska will be inevitable, and the 40,000 soldiers in the city alone will not be able to stop the 40,000 soldiers of the new army.

However, in the eyes of the new army, the situation is not optimistic, and if it continues like this, it will run out of shells if it does not wait for the full force to start fighting.

On the seventh day of the siege, Hassel finally couldn't help it, found Lorraine, and said worriedly: "My lord, should we stop bombarding the city walls, it seems that this has no effect.

Our shells are still being saved for the more important Haddou. ”

Lorraine pursed her lips and said, "Doesn't that mean that all the shells we fired in the past few days were in vain?"

Hassell sighed helplessly, which made him feel especially uncomfortable, so he gave up halfway, feeling reluctant, but to continue to bombard like this, Hassell felt even more reluctant.

Lorraine glanced to the south, until now, Haddou still did not move, he seemed to be too calm, with the battlefield as the center of the radius of five hundred miles, there was no sign of Haddou's troops ** moving, unless Haddou's men would flee, otherwise he had not moved.

And the rebels behind his ass were no longer able to hold their breath and showed signs of moving south.

Lorraine shook his head and said, "You can't just do half of the play, continue, believe me, the opportunity for change will come soon." ”

Hassel was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Lorraine said: "You'll find out soon. ”

Of course, there are not unhappy people among them, such as Vera.

The first thing Miss Vera does when she wakes up every day, and the last thing she does before going to bed, is to take stock of her income.

And I hope that this untold Haddou is better never to come.

He came to fight, and after this battle, Vera herself had nothing to earn.

At noon on the tenth day, reconnaissance units active in the vicinity spotted the slowly approaching rebel coalition, which was already less than a hundred miles away from the new army.

When the news came back, it caused a lot of tension among the people of the New Army.

Hassel wondered how Lorraine had known about it, and none of the Almohads themselves had been able to find out about the arrival of the rebels.

But thinking about the extraordinaryness of this lord, Hassell could only keep his doubts in his heart.

Although they already knew when they set out that they would face enemy attacks and encirclement when they were deep in enemy-occupied territory, the soldiers were inevitably nervous when the enemy did appear.

Now the ratio of forces on the battlefield is one-to-one.

In the eyes of the new army, although they had artillery, they were cut off from the back and could only be trapped, and the outcome was really unpredictable.

Large rebel forces camped thirty miles from the Forces nouvelles camp and confronted the Forces nouvelles.

Under these conditions, Lorraine ordered to stop the artillery bombardment of Priska and the preparation for the siege of the city, preparing for the attack of the rebels from behind.

But the enemy has not moved since the encampment.

There was a strange silence on the battlefield suddenly, no artillery, no shouting, no movement, no march. Even the scouts on both sides no longer expelled each other.

All the people forgot about the war and stayed in the camp with nothing to do.

Both sides of the war understand that they are waiting for someone who can break the game, and that person is Haddou. !!!
