Power and Empire Chapter 616: Attack! , Lemming (2)
Bao Zi sincerely thank Feng Yu 99 for voting for a monthly pass; rd voted for a monthly pass;
Utul’s location is the highest point outside the city of Lemming. Even if you don’t need a rangefinder, you can see the land far away in front of you. In front of Lemming Castle, a winding road passes through the residential area outside the city. Lemming Castle is guarded by this road. The Salander's triangular flag is flying in the air against the background of the weak blue sky. And,
Whether it is a Salander or a Vecya, they are all staring at the road leading to Kyoto in Salander. On both sides of this road, there are slowly undulating mountains, stretching slowly to the north and the south. . But this gentle stretch, only less than two kilometers away, suddenly becomes steep, and the composition of the mountain is no longer mud, but granite with moss.
Thousands of mountains are infinite, and there is one passage. The atmosphere of the war is spreading. I used to see one or two curiously watching guys from the heights of the castle. In the past few days, even such watchers have disappeared. The strong towers used to occupy Rows of archers are full, they are vigilantly looking at any target within 100 meters of the castle
Both sides felt the pressure from the opposing camp. The garrisoned troops in the city of Lamming were also frequently mobilized. Some simple wooden arrow towers appeared on the road leading to the city wall, and the roads were filled with various ways to block the enemy. The obstacles, if this battle is not fought, or if it is a **** strangulation battle, this only road leading to the castle will surely leave the corpses and blood of countless people.
The siege equipment of the Vijaya army outside the city has been prepared. Hundreds of siege towers stand beside the barracks. These hero towers made of nearby mountains and trees look like a row of giants standing with green moss from a distance. , The squadron leaders of each camp adjusted the final deployment according to their attack directions
Utukul skillfully scales the size of the rangefinder lens. This is a relatively primitive rangefinder and corrector for shelling distance. They are fixed on the side of a rock by an iron tripod and can be moved left and right. Swing, although this simple first-generation instrument cannot get extremely accurate distance data, with rich experience, Utul can roughly calculate the amount of gunpowder and shooting height that the Thor cannon needs to fill.
This is also the reason why Volktus personally went to Dustellenkai. If there is not an experienced old rangefinder, such a complex terrain, it is really true to measure the arc distance between two points. It's hard to be reassuring.
This kind of rangefinder with rich practical experience is rare in the Army. Even if there are, they are members of the Central Army. The Southern Army cannot be deployed. It happens that the private fleet is transferred to the Salander. Such resources are not needed. Will be condemned by God,
Who doesn’t know, the number of warships destroyed under the muzzle of Thor in the privateer fleet is at least in the hundreds. After thinking about it for a while, Dustellenkai agreed happily. He knew about the attack on Lemming. The army units of the castle are equipped with the latest large-caliber Thor. It is just this opportunity to learn about the power of this enhanced version of Thor
"40 meters 90 meters"
Utukul, with his rich experience, whispered the distance in his mouth, and felt some doubts in his heart. Such a long distance has exceeded the 600-meter shooting distance of the general Thor, but since the face has to measure the distance by himself at this point , Naturally, the placement position of Thor should also be near this point,
"Is there really a new weapon?"
Thinking of the words of the squadron leader just now, Utul’s heartbeat paused. He straightened his right hand and gestured with his thumb up to the height of the city of Lamming in the distance, secretly smacking in his heart
"This is too unreliable!"
Utukul put down his hands a little frustrated. Since working as a rangefinder, calm analysis has become his professional habit. Because the Thor Cannon is a smoothbore cannon, the shells are erratic. If there is a strong wind, the shells will be erratic. There are so many off-tracks that are blown off, which is very common in naval battles. Therefore, the Raytheon Curved Cannon with a range of 600 meters can only wait until the enemy enters within 300 meters to start aiming, and it can hit the target with the first shot. Less than one-tenth, one can imagine how lucky I was at the beginning
Shooting at the enemy from 500 meters away, with Utul’s sophistication, I can’t imagine what will happen. Even if the shell is blown back by the wind and hits his own person, it is entirely possible!
Some recruits of the Northern Army were curiously hiding in the distance, constantly looking in the direction of Utul, and constantly whispering to each other. The squadron leader in charge of the guard, Baruche, could only let the soldiers pull up one at 30 meters away. Cordon, but it still can’t stop many curious eyes,
This is the most eye-catching and embarrassing day of Utul City. Not only is he truly eye-catching, who told him to stand at the highest point? Finally, even the girl in charge of logistics and medical treatment came over. They were originally stationed in The rear of the army is more than 2 kilometers away from here, but there is too much noise here,
The chirping voices of these curious girls are like active Huang Ying jumping, and the curious eyes of the opposite **** make the shy young officer a bit at a loss. He can't explain, and doesn't want to explain, because he wants to explain. If it does, it will take at least a day.
The rangefinder was only equipped with the navy not long ago. It opened a new era of naval warfare. It increased the accuracy of the Vicia navy’s artillery fire by a step, by at least 30%. This is simple and yet Complicated little things make many experienced artillery stunned. With it, the training speed of an artillery has been reduced by at least two-thirds of the time. It gave birth to the elite arms of the Navy. "Rangefinder"
As for Utul’s real weapon, it is an extremely sophisticated navy scimitar, but it is also a weapon that will be deployed in the final battle. The rangefinder is a soul figure that greatly improves the attacking ability of battleships. No captain will be willing to let him on the battlefield. When the rangefinder is really needed to participate in close combat, it is basically the last moment. In normal times, he He can’t even touch, because he doesn’t have enough time to learn the skills of close combat.
I don’t know why, the situation in front of me suddenly made Utul an impulse,
He wants to return to the navy, the turbulent battleship deck, the blue sea, the vast sky, the white sails, the mighty and agile Dragon Tooth ship breaks through the waves, and the roaring Thor fire reflects the red sky. The most important thing is that there are real brothers there, a group of brothers who live and die together day and night.
Here, he feels so out of place, like a stranger!
"After seeing enough, quickly disperse, what are you doing! I have no time to hit the bullet, right? If I have more time, I will go for five kilometers."
A familiar and loud voice dispelled the crowd of onlookers. The Rio Hans squadron leader who was chatting just now roared with a serious face. It can be seen that his prestige among these recruits is very high.
Although it is difficult to conceal the veteran's greasy feeling, the grim one-eyed one is enough to suppress these new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. Many recruits who know him run away in terror.
Rio Hans, the one-eyed butcher, no one in the entire flag regiment knows. There are no one hundred or eighty lives in his hands. It is said that in the lines of his hands, there are several wronged souls sandwiched, and they have already reported to the Duke of Vicia The mansion made a recommendation. After this battle, he may be transferred to the Grand Duke’s guards
"Hi, Rio Hans!" Several beautiful female soldiers waved at the fierce-faced veteran. Seeing such a large group of female soldiers gathered together like flowers and butterflies, Rio Hans' eyes were green. , Shrank his head subconsciously,
Sisters are all here! "
Rio Hans’s bald forehead was sweating beads out. The 30-year-old was licking an old face, and he nodded and bowed to a group of teenage girls, secretly crying, this I can’t live anymore,
They are all my wife’s best friends! Who doesn't know, the wife's best friend is her husband's mortal enemy! Just say a word in your ear, it will be ten or a hundred sentences to yourself,
When my wife gets angry, it will be soup tonight,
The battlefield is coming tomorrow. There will never be a victor in a cruel siege battle. Arrows are like a rain, corpses overflowing the city, and some are tougher than anyone, and not afraid of death. Old Rio still wants to make his last night. Work hard and see if you can leave all of them!
At last, with the excuse of a military order, I finally let go of these delicate and tender aunts, and Rio Hans came over with sweat and pale face.
Looking at Utukul, who was staring at him with a weird look, this vicious squadron captain smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said, "It’s not a guarantee for the late festival! I'm an old man in his 30s. Is it easy to be a daughter-in-law! If it weren't for military orders, I would rather go single-handedly attack the Lamming city wall in front of me than face these babbled women!"
"Is there a military order?" Utul looked at him in surprise. I thought it was an excuse that Rio Hans made up casually.
"Yes!" Rio Hans's face suddenly became extremely serious. "I have received an order to transport a batch of secret weapons to this location tonight! Before dark, there will be full martial law within 100 meters of this place!"
Night came quickly. In Utul’s puzzled eyes, more than a dozen black carriages pulled side by side with two war horses appeared at the foot of the mountain. The horses’ hoofs fluttered, and the black carriages moved at high speed under the light of torches along the way. The ruts pressed on the rainy road during the day, splashing a burst of black mud,
There was a rumbling sound in the wind, showing the weight of the carriage in the carriage, and the whiff of white gas spurted from the nose of the chariot horse
The rush of "Tata" horseshoes sounded, and nearly a hundred cavalry in black armor appeared behind the dozens of difficult and mysterious carriages, their spirited eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance,
One of the leading knights looked in the direction of Utul, and a strong murderous intent came with the wind
"My God, it's the guard of the Grand Duke!"
Just as Utul was shocked and inexplicably surprised, Rio Hans, who was standing next to him, was already shaking with excitement. The red light of the torch shone on the dark armor of these knights, and the curved waist saber revealed Their extraordinary identities,
These murderous guard cavalry first patrolled the top of the mountain. After confirming safety, the leading guard captain ordered to open the carriage carrying heavy loads~IndoMTL.com~ One by one huge objects were taken by several guards. Lifted it out with great effort, lined up with the punctuation prepared earlier, the 2 gates of Siege Thor flashed a dark luster in the torch,
"Oh what is it!"
The short barrel is shining with powerful qualities, and the huge metal muzzle that is nearly ten times larger than the ordinary Thor makes Utul, who is watching silently next to him, trembles in shock,
With his understanding of the power of Thor, the larger the muzzle, the greater the power. Such a huge muzzle is simply a masterpiece of God, and its power is absolutely earth-shaking,
"Excuse me, Utul-sama?" While Utul was still stunned, the captain of the guard turned over and dismounted in front of him and asked with a serious face
After Utul’s head nodded blankly, the black-clad captain of the guard straightened up and respectfully saluted him. This made Rio Hans next to him dumbfounded. Ming Guan saluted the young man next to him. This was incredible, and the word adult was added in his tone, which seemed extremely respectful!
"My name is Links, the captain of the 16th Guards Cavalry. According to the order of the Grand Duke, your Excellency has been appointed Thor Commander for this battle. Please give your order!"
