Heart of Empire Chapter 341: Artillery Formation
"Osk Palan, eighth-level fighter. [Read the latest chapter]"
"Commander: ★★★"
"Internal Affairs: ★★★"
"Ethics: ★★★☆"
"Loyalty: ★★★★"
"Special: Firm will: This is a reliable general, maybe he doesn't have any outstanding abilities, but no matter how difficult the environment is, he will firmly hold on to the end and never give up."
…
At first, Palan didn't know that his injury was so serious that it could be life-threatening.
Of course, he has gritted his teeth in severe pain from early morning until now, and he also felt that his body became weaker and weaker with this persistence, but he thought that if he could rest , and then apply some medicine, it should be able to get better.
Acelore said that if he really did this, he might not be able to wake up the next day after he was so tired that he fell asleep.
However, now, of course, it is impossible for Dane to let this newly discovered talent be lost like this.
Under Dane's entrustment, Esther began to take care of Palan herself.
With such a high-ranking priest taking action, of course Paran's life will no longer be in danger. However, despite this, the priestess also said frankly: "I can save his life, and keep his body from having any dark scars from this burn, but the scars on his face... forgive me. I can't do anything. Maybe, find Only a high priest above level 14 can solve this problem."
For this question, Palan was silent for a while. No one can be indifferent to being disfigured - except, of course, those whose disfigurement is equivalent to plastic surgery.
In the past, Palan wasn't considered handsome, and he didn't rely on his face for food. But a pretty, a little handsome face is much better than half a face with burn scars.
However, this general, who was evaluated by the system as a firm-willed general, also showed his own characteristics in this respect.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I am very lucky to save my life and strength, what else can I ask for?"
…
Palan definitely has no way to continue to stick to the frontline combat position now, and even if he wants to, it is impossible for Dane to let him do so. It can be regarded as bringing all the essence of military affairs in his own hands. Palando has no more, and he has less. After all, he can find someone who can temporarily replace his duties.
Anyway, in the ensuing battle, the garrison army will not be the main force.
However, then again, it is indeed a very hurtful thing that the vanguard army led by Palan did not produce enough siege equipment as required in advance.
Originally, according to Dane's wishes, after he led the main force to arrive, he would rest for one night and launch a fierce attack on Iron Nail Hill the next day, trying to pull out the nail on the same day. But looking at it now, it seems a bit unrealistic.
But no matter what, the battle must be fought. The main army continued to rest, and Delin was ordered by Dane to supervise the garrison to build siege equipment overnight. 1,500 soldiers from the garrison worked together, at least before noon tomorrow, to create a sufficient amount of equipment.
To be honest, the soldiers of these garrison regiments had some complaints. When they arrived at the battlefield on the 21st, they had been running from Shawan Port for more than a day without resting. That night, they also built siege equipment all night, but they were attacked by bat cavalry just after dawn.
After finally waiting for the main force from home to arrive, I thought I could relax and rest, but in the end I received an order to work all night.
With such strength, even some elite troops would find it a bit overwhelming, let alone second-line troops like the Garrison Corps.
But what can be done? When Delin personally led the soldiers of the two main armies to lead the formation, the garrison army had to work obediently under orders no matter how loud their complaints were.
What's more, working is no better than fighting. In war, you have to go up and die, and you will definitely die, but you won't die when you work, at best, you will be a little tired.
At noon the next day, the exhausted soldiers of the garrison finally finished their work as scheduled and could return to their camp to rest. At the same time, after Dane's main army arrived at the battlefield yesterday, it took one night and one morning to recuperate, and it could be considered to be at its peak, ready to go into battle at any time.
Dane didn't plan to wait any longer. After lunch, the whole army had a little rest and preparations. At around 1:30 in the afternoon, the whole army formed a team and started heading towards Iron Nail Hill, two kilometers away.
The night before plus one morning, the job of the garrison troops was to build ladders continuously. At the moment, these ladders are placed in the middle by rows of soldiers, waiting for the sound of the horn, they will immediately carry the ladders and hit the city wall.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Dane to use his elite to play an ant-attached siege, as the loss would be too great, and the effect might not be very good.
He has sharper weapons, why not?
Soon, this sharper weapon will appear.
Dain didn't place the army too close, the soldiers were all separated by the city wall.
In fact, it's not too far away, but according to the investigation of the griffins, only bed crossbows were seen on the city wall of Tiedinggang, and no other powerful defensive weapons were seen.
Especially without artillery.
Then don't be afraid, directly push the artillery to the front of the formation ~IndoMTL.com~ and even boldly advance to a distance of only about 800 meters from the city wall. After the twelve artillery formations lined up, they began to fire solid shells violently towards the city wall of Tiedinggang.
The artillery in the Orodic world is not strong, at least the artillery that is generally manufactured and ignited purely by alchemy gunpowder can only hit a distance of two kilometers at most in terms of range. But at a distance of two kilometers, there is basically no way to accurately aim, and the lethality will become very unreliable. After advancing to a distance of about a thousand meters, you will almost have a more reliable combat power.
Of course, there are more powerful artillery in this world. However, those more advanced cannons don't just rely on alchemy gunpowder to activate them, they will basically be replaced with magic energy cannons, and the shells will also be fired in the form of magic energy, with a long range and powerful Huge, the price is naturally expensive.
It is impossible for Tiedinggang to have that kind of artillery. They don't even have ordinary alchemy artillery, so they can only rely on bed crossbows to fight back.
The bed crossbow can shoot a thousand meters away, but that can only be regarded as the maximum range, and the effective range will only be shorter, at least it will not pose any threat to Dane's artillery formation.
So, in this way, Tiedinggang was under heavy shelling from the artillery formation, but it didn't even have the ability to fight back. (To be continued.)
