Chapter 18: The Terrifying Flying Thunder Cannon
PS: It's strange that there are no children's shoes to complain about these chapters.
The deadwood warrior is a fifth-level high-level soldier of the barrier clan, with a lot of blood and thick skin, and it is a very good meat shield-type class, although the attack speed is generally slow, but this class has a skill that even the black dragon is afraid of, winding, this skill can fix the enemy in place and cannot move, the entanglement attack of the deadwood tactics will not be affected by magic immunity and anti-magic, no class can escape its old tree roots, nor will it be eliminated by the anti-magic and healing magic, the only thing that can clear it is to dispel the Dafa, but this attack does not need their entanglement, only need them as a movable shield。
More than a thousand deadwood warriors with a body height of seven or eight meters walked in the front, and at their feet were tens of thousands of battle dwarves holding steel shields, these dwarves carefully hid behind the tall deadwood tactics, on the one hand, they had to be careful of the long arrows they shot, and on the other hand, they had to be careful of being stepped on by the deadwood warriors, it was really hard for them.
The bark of the deadwood warriors was very thick, even if their bodies were filled with long arrows shot by Ouyang Yu's soldiers, they couldn't hurt the inside of their bodies, and they still didn't hurry to march towards Ouyang Yu's army's position.
George Barton Bradley, who had been transferred to the concealed command post, noticed this keenly with the treasure telescope lent to him by Ouyang Yu, and he turned to the herald and said, "Order the soldiers to stop shooting those tree men, attack the dwarf behind them with all their might, mobilize the flamethrowers to the first line of defense, and prepare the flying thunder cannon!"
"Yes!"
His order was swiftly conveyed, and hundreds of soldiers carrying twin fuel tanks and Type 72 flamethrowers entered the first line of trenches through the guò trenches under the cover of other soldiers. At the same time, some soldiers with a special equipment entered the second line of trenches.
These soldiers carried large iron buckets with a caliber of 300 mm wide and 1,200 mm long. The iron drum is fixed with an M-shaped steel frame, and there are two small wheels at the bottom of the steel frame. There is also a pair of long brackets on the big iron bucket to adjust the high and low firing angles, which is the famous conscienceless cannon during the Liberation War, because it is only an experimental product, so the number is not much, only about 50.
A group of eleven soldiers who operated the Thunder Cannon dragged the Thunder Cannon to a crater in the trench, which was a suitable size for a firing position, so the soldiers dragged the Thunder Cannon into the crater and began to prepare for firing.
First of all, the muzzle of the gun was outward, two small wheels were locked, a pair of brackets were fixed to the ground, the leader of the group poked out half of his head to find the target and measure the range, and some of the other ten soldiers were ready to launch the charge. Some sorted out the shells, some half-knelt beside the artillery and waited for the order of the team leader to aim.
The group leader lying on the edge of the trench did not look back and ordered: "The target is five degrees to the left, the distance is three hundred, and the maximum charge is charged." ”
The soldiers of his group immediately began to get busy, the No. 1 gunner quickly turned the wheel in the middle of the bracket to adjust the distance, the ammunition man handed the prepared pie-shaped propellant to the loader, the loader quickly put it into the muzzle, and then took the 300mm spherical shell handed by the ammunition man, subtracted part of the fuse according to the firing distance and then stuffed the muzzle as well.
The shells are actually large bags of explosives weighing 20 kilograms. After Ouyang Yu came back this time, according to the information he obtained, he successfully formulated a very powerful, stable and safe military explosive, and applied it to various new weapons, flying thunder cannons and grenades are only two of the dozens of new weapons.
Ammo and loaders leave as soon as they finish their work. The gunner in charge of firing the gun took out a steel needle and inserted it into the small hole in the tail of the gun, punctured the loaded cartridge, and then inserted the charge to prepare the igniter. Wait for the group leader's launch order.
The Deadwood Warriors covered the battle dwarves getting closer and closer, and the squad leaders of the various Thunder Cannons were nervously waiting for the order to fire.
George Barton Bradley has been using his telescope to observe the approaching enemy. Stopping at the distance of the enemy troops in his ears, his hands holding the telescope trembled slightly.
"The enemy army is four hundred meters away. The distance between the enemy troops is two hundred and fifty meters, and the distance between the enemy forces is one hundred and fifty meters!"
"Fire!" George Patton Bradley finally gave the order to fire.
"Chirp ......!" a red flare was fired into the sky.
After seeing the flare, all the squad leaders of the flying thunder cannon shouted excitedly: "Fire!"
The gunner immediately lit the notion, and then all the soldiers of the group immediately left the flying thunder cannon, ducked far away, crouched down, covered their ears with their hands, and grew their mouths.
"Bang bang bang ......!" After a series of dull sounds, more than fifty white cloth bags flew into the sky, followed by a continuous earth-shattering loud sound.
The smoke from the explosion obscured everyone's view, and it just so happened that a gust of wind blew away the smoke, allowing people to see the scene after the explosion clearly.
The more than 1,000 deadwood warriors who attacked all fell to the ground, and the dwarves who followed them also fell to the ground, and there were more than fifty large pits on the ground that were still emitting green smoke for more than ten meters, and there were surprisingly no dwarves near the big pits.
The dead wood warriors who fell to the ground were struggling to get up, some of the dwarves sat up and looked around in confusion, some of them dropped their weapons and crawled backwards with frightened faces, some yelled as if they had gone crazy, and more of them were lying on the ground motionless, and if you walked in and looked, you would find that the dwarves who were not moving had bled to death.
"Fire the flare, it's time for the Pyro to go!" ordered George Barton Bradley again.
"Chirp ......!" a yellow flare rose into the sky.
More than 500 flamethrowers bravely rushed out of the trenches, and ran with their jets to the deadwood warriors who were getting up.
"Whew......!"
More than 500 nearly 100 meters long fire dragon appeared at the same time, burning the body of the deadwood warriors, and the flamethrowers sprayed all the fuel in the oil tank behind them and ignited all the deadwood warriors, and then quickly turned around and ran back to the trench at their maximum speed, leaving only the deadwood warriors whose bodies were on fire but still moving forward without feeling pain.
The burning viscous flame flowed all over the bodies of the Deadwood Warriors, and they all became burning fire giants who were not afraid of bows and arrows and ordinary attacks, and the flames that could not be extinguished quickly burned out their vitality, and one after another the Deadwood Warriors fell down again and could never get up.
Gru in the rear was going crazy, the second attack failed again, the opposite Ouyang Yu army became an endless new weapon, his army suffered amazing losses, the flying thunder cannon just now wiped out more than three thousand battle dwarves at one time, and the rest had no morale, saying that they would not go to the battlefield again, and it also affected the other elven warriors, no one wanted to face that kind of unreasonable strong attack.
The deadwood warriors all became burning torches, he no longer knew what method to use to eliminate Ouyang Yu's army, and on the top of the mountain, Gru also felt a fire, an ice, and the breath of three saint-level masters full of light, it should be the female archduke of the Principality of Arendelle, the innate elemental body mentioned in the intelligence, Elsa and her sister Anna, and the unknown maid beside Ouyang Yu, with these three people in charge, it is no wonder that Ouyang Yu is relieved to duel with the elf queen.
Fortunately, the vast majority of the troops lost so far are soldiers of Gru's Barrier Clan, and there are not many real elven warriors, although Gru is distressed, but what he has lost is only some gold coins to be able to recruit cannon fodder, as long as there is enough time and gold coins, he can pull up a team again.
If the elven warrior loses too much, even if the elf queen doesn't say anything, some other elves who have long looked at him as a half-breed are afraid that they will jump out and accuse him and ask the elf queen to punish him.
There are still hundreds of golden dragons under Gru's command who dare not release them, one is because of the relationship between the dragon clan and is worried, and the other is that once this situation is known by the elves, he is afraid that he will not be able to mix in the elf clan, after all, no one wants to have such a powerful and uncontrolled power by his side, and the most likely thing is to turn against the elves.
With a lot of concern, Gru had already given the order to suspend the attack, hoping that the Elven Queen and the others would be able to defeat Ouyang Yu, and then force them to surrender or use the forbidden spell to destroy this strange army that was difficult to gnaw. (To be continued......)
