Soon, the soldiers in the entire fortress began to get nervous!

In all directions, all kinds of shouts of orders and hurried footsteps were intertwined.

"The artillery is in position...... Artilleryman...... "On the building in the middle of the fortress, the shouts of the heralds sounded - it was an order from the commander of the fortress defense.

Soon, the heralds on the towers near the city walls were also carrying the message: "Artillery in position! Artillery in position!"

"Artillery in position!"

"Artillery ready!"

......

Soon, the entire fortress, everywhere resounded with such a loud shout of delivering orders.

The entire fortress was immediately filled with the tense and hectic atmosphere that preceded the battle.

All around, there was a dense sound of footsteps.

The soldiers, who were in charge of the operation of the artillery, divided into several groups - they lined up and trotted all the way from all parts of the fortress to the city walls.

Immediately afterwards, these soldiers who operated the artillery came to the city wall in an orderly and rapid manner, and then quickly came to the edge of their artillery position.

These cannons were either placed in these positions, or they were carried to the walls by the people of the fortress not long ago.

The guns were mounted on a platform with four thick wooden wheels.

Behind each of these guns was a heavy stone.

Such stones were effective in preventing these cannons from crashing into the wooden railings behind the walls due to recoil, shattering the railings and crashing backwards.

At the tail of the gun, as well as on the large rocks placed behind the gun, there are thick cushions made of fabric to prevent damage to the guns and stones.

The guns were located at the front end, with two metal rings, a sturdy thick rope, one end attached to the same strong metal ring.

In the middle of the body, through a fixed pulley fixed horizontally to the city wall, the rope is turned through the pulley, and the other end is extended to the sides behind the artillery.

Such a rope plays a more important role when the next artillery fires.

......

Now, in the fortress, there is a little quieter - but the tension that precedes the battle here has not diminished but increased.

The soldiers, who had arrived at the artillery position, quickly began the next link.

Before the battle, they had to reload the "sub-guns" of the artillery with ammunition.

In the sound of metal rubbing, the soldiers standing on the city wall removed the "Zigong" from the cannon near the tail of the cannon, and then placed the front end facing upwards and placed this section of the "Zigong" vertically on the stone slab ground above the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, some other soldiers on the side quickly and skillfully loaded the prepared ammunition into the "sub-gun".

Soon, the soldiers who operated the artillery put the "Zi Gong" back into the artillery, then adjusted some seals, and then prepared the artillery before firing.

Now they are waiting for the commander's order to open fire.

At present, such a distance is still a bit far for the range of the artillery of the Rotirito Sedili - even if you use a similar method of "hitting the water" to shoot the cannonballs, you still can't reach the opponent's behemoth, not to mention, the "water-drifting" cannonball fighting method is only suitable for attacking infantry and cavalry with low defense.

"That thing is coming......"

"I've heard it's scary......"

"The shell on it is said to explode......"

"Then we ......"

Several soldiers operating the artillery began to whisper with some fear.

......

Now, on the wall, only the soldiers who operate the artillery, and the rest of the soldiers are deployed in all corners of the fortress - in the face of the mysterious giant presence of unknown enemies, melee infantry is naturally useless, and infantry with long-range cold weapons such as bows and arrows or crossbow arrows cannot effectively damage giant beings equipped with metal armor.

Suddenly, at a distance in front of the fortress, there was a sudden burst of artillery fire!

Several soldiers operating the artillery trembled with fright.

In a louder and louder whistling sound, the cannonballs flew towards the fortress at a rapid pace!

In the midst of a chaotic shout, the soldiers quickly crouched down in fright.

There was a "boom", deafening - with a burst of flash and smoke, the cannonball exploded not far in front of the fortress walls!

The opponent's first shot was inaccurate, however, after the next adjustment, it was not necessarily - these artillerymen on the city wall naturally understood this truth - they knew that the danger was gradually increasing!
