Power and Empire Chapter 1190: Counter-attack Ballas (Part 2)
in the evening of October 11th,
The Battle of Ballas Fortress, which attracted the attention of the entire continent, kicked off. The battle between the 100,000 Falcon Army and the strongest super fortress on the continent was unexpected from the very beginning. The Falcon Army At the bottom of the Fortress of Ballas, a defensive formation was placed that would make all military scientists of later generations feel unbelievable.
80 years later, the imperial historian Bolas Otto’s "Legend of the Empire" wrote, "Just as the fortress guards laughed at it, the roar that shook the earth made everyone become Face pale,
The earth where the setting sun is like blood, with the huge fire that gushes out,
The dry weeds and cracked sand on the ground began to vibrate, a white line with a violent whistling, once again across the sky in the eyes of everyone, like a sharp blade suddenly drawn by the Falcon’s majesty. Slashed on the crumbling walls of Ballas. . . . . . . "
"Cough cough, hurry up, clean the barrel immediately! The next door is ready" Beside the siege Thor that just fired, the pungent white smoke filled the air, and Commander Dylans Cousse was rolled up and choked with inflammation. Cough, but he still shouted loudly with all his strength,
As he shouted, the muzzle of the second siege Thor's muzzle was slowly raised, and the huge black muzzle aimed at the distant fortress mountain. At that moment, even light seemed to be attracted to it,
"Reload!"
The huge artillery shell was lifted up by the three soldiers and sent into the barrel. When the heavy thunderbolt slowly slid into the barrel with the peculiar sound of steel friction, when the heavy ground artillery bolt was firmly tied to the ground At that time, everyone’s blood boiled violently
"Ready!" Dylan Skusai stood up straight, raised his hand, and hardly popped a word "launch!" from his teeth.
"Boom Rumble" The huge deafening roar made the Thunder shooter in charge of launching instinctively cover his ears,
, Dylan Skusai was shocked a few meters away, feeling that all the sounds in his ears disappeared, only the ringing of Enen’s tinnitus, the power of the Siege Thor’s Cannon was so powerful that even the Falcons themselves I can’t bear it. Although it is the second shot, there are still many soldiers in the front army. Under the sound of the thunderbolt of the guns on this sunny day, the whole body trembled.
"It's terrible!" Many people couldn't help but stretch their tongues. Watching a group of firelight draw a beautiful and cruel arc in the sky, and fall again toward the gap in the middle of the mountain.
Rumble... a dazzling fire broke out, and the place where it fell was instantly covered by gunpowder and black smoke. The fortress of Balas, built on the mountain, seemed to have suffered a violent blow, and rocks of all sizes continued to fall. Rolled down from above. The earth moved and the mountains shook like a thunder from the sky and the ground. A destructive circle with a diameter of about 10 meters was formed in an instant at the location of the landing.
"This is..."
Standing at the top of the fortress, Earl Busey couldn't help but open his mouth wide, looking at everything in front of him in disbelief. The other generals behind him who had just been ridiculed and ridiculed just now were all stunned. It felt incredible. Oh my God. , What kind of weapon is this? How could it be so destructive? For a while, the entire city wall was still alive, and countless pairs of eyes were bulging looking at the exploded mountain
"My god! What is this?" There was a low voice on the wall, and the panicked crowd thought that the wall was crowded. When it was in chaos, the violent whistling sound was repeated. When it sounded, another white line drew a beautiful arc in the air, breaking through the air from a distance,
"Everyone get down!
This time, without anyone shouting, the Dorok soldiers instinctively covered their ears. There were still many people trembling all over by the thunderous sound of the blue sky, and their pale faces almost fainted on the spot. A heavy infantry was caught off guard with a siege shield falling to the ground,
The huge sound of " rumbling" shook the mountain below. The middle section of the Balas mountain body collapsed. Huge rocks fell from the blasted depression and rolled to the bottom of the mountain.
" Bastard, Vikia Falcon! "On the observation deck of the fortress, Earl Busey, the commander of the Ballas Front, walked back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, and his face was full of incomprehension and helplessness. After two consecutive loud noises, the Falcon Army on the plain did not feel much, but the Earl Busey standing on the fortress was uncomfortable.
The earth shook, and the shaking from the middle of the mountain was so clear that no one would have thought that the Falcon Army would be so shameless that they did not dare to attack directly and directly shook the foot of the fortress as the commander who guarded the fortress for many years. Officer, Earl Busey knows better than others that the attack of the Falcon Army hit the weak underbelly of the Fortress of Balas.
Under this seemingly solid fortress, there are countless cavities and passages. There are people dug inside, and some are natural. If you compare the Fortress of Balas to a strong giant, the hollows and artificial digs in the mountains The exit channel is the blood vessel in this giant's body,
The natural holes spreading for more than ten miles are the blood of the Baras Fortress. Soldiers can enter the upper fortress through these passages, or shoot at the enemy in the middle. Once these blood vessels are torn and torn, they will be brought It's not just pain, but the entire fortress may be shaken by a big collapse, and all the people on the fortress will be buried alive by the sinking hollow
" is really spectacular! If it’s night, it’s bound to be breathtaking. "On the plain below, a bad person riding a horse patted the whip lightly, and sighed irresponsibly. Caesar Sauron, the commander of the Northern Army, had a pale face,
It was the first time he saw the power of this new weapon of Siege Thor. It was thick enough to hold the huge muzzle of two adults. It needed a base frame for iron anchors. When it was launched, it was in the grass. The sand and gravel seemed to dance, jumping up and then falling again and again. Just like there are many invisible big hands, picking them up and putting them down, it seems like boiling water is dancing,
This terrible roar spread across the earth like a rolling thunder a few seconds later, and it didn’t calm down until several minutes later. The whole earth seemed to tremble fiercely at this moment, and the setting sun in the distance was completely lost. Brilliance
Such terrifying power brings people not only the exclamation of forging skills, but also the cold and merciless sigh,
It is said that when attacking Lemming Fortress on Salander Island, it was such a weapon. With just one blow, it directly destroyed the fortified city wall known as Salander's first fortress, making all Salander Kyoto As long as the army hears Thor’s roar, he will never be able to resist any more,
At the beginning, Caesar Sauron regarded this as an exaggerated rumor by the Southern Army. Now it seems that even if it is exaggerated, it is not far from the truth. At least this thing is indeed very powerful. After a few shots, it almost turned over. Half of the hillside, the smoke dissipated, revealing a row of huge caves, like broken ribs turned out
rumbling...
The Thor shells continue to bombard roughly the same area. The place where the original cavity appeared, has now been blasted with an obvious gap. This gap is getting bigger and bigger, and eventually it has evolved into an irreparably large gap, the upper part of the gap The city wall was completely blown down. Hundreds of Dorok soldiers hiding in the hollow were instantly wiped out with the smoke of the shells.
"It's really choking, the Aaron people above will definitely no longer think that the Fortress of Balas is as solid as a mountain!"
Caesar Sauron squinted, watching the white smoke and dust, a dazzling flame pierced the red hair's retina, lighting up the entire vast field in an instant like lightning. The gravel flew, shaking. The shock wave rolled up a strong wind from the point of impact, and the fortress in the distance trembled in this ruining power, not to mention that the people standing on it were like shaken ants in a mess
I don’t know why, Caesar Sauron felt a bleak in his heart,
He could feel that it was the last death knell sounded on the continent of Ikadiva in the castle age that lasted for a thousand years! After this battle, no Ikadiva would think that things like city walls and fortresses could hinder the flying flag of His Majesty Falcon.
"What's wrong? But I think this thing is a bit too little?" The fat man seemed to feel something, and turned his head to ask
"It's a bit small, there are only five doors. If you double it, I believe the mountain has collapsed at this moment!" Caesar Sauron quickly gathered his thoughts and said with regret,
"Five doors! This is the goal I set for them! "The fat man turned a thought in his eyes, and replied indifferently." Although the old fellow Lidarhill has blown the benefits of this thing to the sky, I too No plan to increase the number to 30 was agreed. Five of this kind of thing a year is enough! No matter how much it is, it is cumbersome! Even if it is used as a fortress cannon, only the storage of shells is a big problem!"
"Why?" Caesar Sauron glanced at the fat man in a puzzled way, and tentatively said, "If you change to another monarch, I'm afraid I can't wait to make it in large quantities, and your Majesty only made it for a year. Five doors, compared to the number of light thunder gods of the navy, which can easily be hundreds of thousands, it really makes the army a little bit lost!"
"Hehe, I know what you are thinking, I tell you clearly, this weapon is not suitable for Legion warfare!" The fat man heard what Caesar Sauron was saying, and raised the corner of his whip with a smile, and said, " Compared with warships that move on the sea, the army relies entirely on manpower. No matter how powerful a weapon is, what use is it if it is difficult to even move?"
"You are also a veteran, you should know that on the battlefield, speed and assault power are always the first!" The fat man pointed to the horse in the direction of the Siege Thor. Warhorse, the Siege of Thor is at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour at most. In order to transport these Thors from Paravin to here~IndoMTL.com~ It only took 1 day to be transported on the road, and this kind of attack The artillery shells of City Thunder are also specially made. The minimum is for workers of the level of master craftsman or above. The speed is slow and the construction limit is high. Five bullets a year are good!"
" The current number of the entire empire is only about 300 great craftsmen, many of whom are also the main supervisors of the Army Thor, and they are all transferred to build this. The current Army’s Thor research and development It’s about to stop. "The fat man’s voice stopped, especially point out
" It was originally made to deal with the fixed fortresses in front of us. The power is enough, but the rate of fire is extremely slow. It is fast to shoot one shot in three minutes. Attacking these fortresses is very suitable. , But if this kind of thing is placed in a cluster field battle, facing the opponent's mobile force, especially the cavalry cluster, this gun is only about 30 meters in the range of the so-called powerful, at most it is just a laughingstock for the enemy , Instead of spending too much energy and financial resources on this, it is better to make more Army Thors that are easy to transport and maneuver to be more practical."
"So, the Thor of the Army already has an eyebrow?"
Caesar Sauron’s face is faintly filled with joy, listening to your majesty Falcon’s implication, the development of the Army Thor seems to be almost completed,
Thinking that his Northern Army can also be assigned to Thor like the Central Army, his heart suddenly became enthusiastic,
The roar of ten thousand cannons, the ground shaking, and the ashes disappeared in smoke. Such a powerful weapon is an irresistible temptation for any general.
" Almost, according to the report, the experimental version has come out! "The fat man stared into the distance and said meaningfully, "If everything goes well, at most two months, Thor can assemble troops!"(
