Power and Empire: Six hundred and seventeen attacks! Lemming (3)
The sky was not bright yet, and the sky was full of beautiful stars. Utul got up from the moist grass. The 12 giant short-barreled cannons that had been put in place were less than 2o meters away from where he rested. Within 5o meters of the cannon’s outer space, hundreds of Vikija guards in black armor stood in a circle. From time to time, additional cavalry patrols passed by from a distance. The crisp horseshoes stepped on the hard rocks, and the pedals were pleasant to the ears. Sound
"Is this really Thor?" This is the fourth time Utul felt his thin chin that had just grown stubble, and asked himself this question for the fourth time. The weapons in front of him are really weird. Like a large iron pot that is erected diagonally, the surface of the metal is not the dark luster of Thor, but a mysterious dark silver. The back of the smooth barrel is extended with a few thick metal frames that are deeply inserted into the ground. In, reveals a hideousness that people dare not look at,
If Utul was a knight, he would recognize this dark silver metal, which is the precious metal used to make knight armor, "stainless steel", which is denser and stronger than ordinary forged steel. It is several times stronger, and the price has reached the price of 1,000 gold coins per catty. If Utul knows the 12 monsters placed in front of him, the steel used for forging is worth 120,000 gold coins, and there will be no leisure. Let’s make a comment here
"My lord!"
Seeing the commander of the siege Thor coming this time, the two Vikija guards who were following the instructions and adjusting the angle of the siege Thor’s projectile hurriedly spit out their hands, straightened up and saluted him
The faces of these two guards were covered with beads of sweat. In the cold night, hot steam hovered over their heads. The weight of a siege Thor almost reached about 1,500 catties. It is a laborious task to move and adjust such a heavy guy. Not to mention Utul, the captain of the guard who is in charge of helping. At the moment, tired and sweaty, he waved to this side weakly
Utukul turned around a big guy curiously, and couldn't figure it out. It looks like Thor. That's right, the bulky Thor barrel. These are the characteristics of the Thor cannon, but its caliber It's really scary. It is estimated that there are at least two adults.
The barrel is not generally short, but very short, half shorter than the ordinary Thunder God’s barrel. It looks weird and doesn’t look like a cannon anymore. If a Thor has such a huge muzzle , Then its barrel is at least ten meters away, which is simply unimaginable. The huge recoil when shooting will directly cause this Thor cannon to fall apart
At this moment, the captain of the guard squadron who was in charge of the **** came over,
"Is this Thor?" Utul asked embarrassedly. As a commander, it is quite embarrassing to not even know his own weapons, but he will use it tomorrow. If there is a mistake, That's the fight of tens of millions of people. Every time I think about this, some pure Utuls can’t sleep peacefully
"Yes, this is Thor!"
This pale-faced guard squadron captain replied affirmatively, "This is the Siege Thor of the Zivadin Military Research Institute specifically for attacking the fortress of the fortified castle! So it looks very different from ordinary Thor .But. It is still Thor, because it is also a device that ejects Thor. Although its size looks very scary, its function is the same as that used by your navy. You can think of it as the principle of curved Thor. The high-end type of the Qu shot Thor!".
In the narration of the guard squadron leader, Utul learned that these 12 thunder gods were the first mass destruction weapons that were put on the battlefield. They had only been tested once before, which made Utul feel a little bit Speechless.
"What, only, I pulled it out after only one test shot?" The ugly-faced Utukul stubbornly pointed to the muzzle of the short-tube Thor, and said excitedly, "You know such a large-caliber cannon. Mouth, how big is the charge? I dare to fort, if the chamber is blasted on the spot, all the lives within 1oo meters nearby will be destroyed!"
Looking at the squadron captain of the guards who looked dissatisfied on the opposite side, Utukul said in a heavy tone, "Even wearing armor will turn into pieces of meat. The experimental weapon and the real battlefield are two different things. It’s about 5o meters in the straight line to hit the city of Lamming. The distance is so far that the projectile can hit the target more accurately, and it is the most difficult projectile at an elevation angle of 5o. To be honest, I don’t have any confidence at all. !
"You look a little nervous", the guard squadron's eyes are bright as light, and he stretches out his palm with a thick fur hand pad and pats his thin shoulder again
"The Grand Duke’s order only requires you to break one-tenth of these shells into the area of Lemming Castle. It is considered a success! After all, this is just an experiment. If unfortunately, it will only be bad luck for you and me! As a member of the battle, I only need to let the shells fall on the enemy's head in advance as we advance. This is the only willingness of me and all the soldiers who will participate in the siege tomorrow, so you don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself. As you said, this is just an experimental weapon!"
"Your guards of the Ducal Palace are also participating in the battle?" Utul, with a surprised expression, asked curiously, knowing that the guards of the Ducal Palace are a natural existence in the Vicia army, unless ordered by the Grand Duke , Attacks by local legions like this rarely get involved
"Of course!" The guard squadron shrugged his shoulders, smirked at Utul, and stroked a short Thor tube next to him. They all have our guards in their hands. They are all unique warriors. They have received certain training before they come, and they have written their wills in advance, because the quality of this level of Thor is really not good, and they may be able to shoot at any time. Ruined."
"So, please do not hesitate to give orders!" The guard squadron's voice stopped, and suddenly stood upright, saying in a very serious tone, "If destiny is destined to bring us to glory, then Never fear death!"
Utul was silent again. He wanted to say that this was too strong, but looking at the decisive face of the guard squadron captain, he couldn’t say it.
"Well, I will do my best!
After a while, Utul’s face became a little condensed and nodded, the captain of the guard’s answer reminded him of the grumpy Captain Frye n bold guys who always like to rush forward regardless. , I almost fell victim to my colleagues’ guns several times
In the anxious and long wait, the golden morning light finally jumped out from the distant horizon, first a gorgeous red light, and then a round of hot and cold red fireballs half-headed out, as if a gentle mother took herself The light and heat are thrown to the ground under your feet,
The dim light is like a wave that keeps pushing forward, driving the floating clouds in the sky, light and darkness are like a pair of partners tracking each other, turning the vast land under your feet into two halves of light and darkness.
The high earth city wall of Laming City reflects the dark black light in the morning light, giving people a very big earthquake. In this half-plain and half-mountain area, this thorn-like existence is really too conspicuous. People can not notice its existence, even the blind can feel its control over this piece of land,
Those coarse granite stones show hideous faces in the sun. Condescendingly defy the entire column of Northern Army in front of them. The entire Lamming line of defense is like an eagle with spread wings, firmly attached to the mountainside. Also condescendingly looked at the vast wilderness around him.
"5o meters ahead, angle 54, ready to test fire!"
Utul, holding the side range meter flat, reconfirmed the distance to the city of Lamming in the distance. Although these data are already well-known, at this moment, he is a rangefinder and the soul of the entire Thor's army. , Any negligence must be made up with more blood and life
He stood on the left side of the siege Thor Cannon with a serious face, raised his right hand, the roaring mountain wind was blowing his collar,
Han Lu shone cold light under his feet, a thin layer of mist, and the moist weed stems and leaves below were hung with round, crystal clear dewdrops,
The grass is about to fall, shining colorfully under the golden sunlight,
"Let it go!" Utul yelled with all his strength, his raised right hand suddenly dropped, and a phantom was drawn across the air, and a word popped out of his teeth with difficulty.
"Boom!" The loud sound like a rolling thunder spread across the earth, like a spring thunder exploding in the sky, and like a torrential flood coming in~IndoMTL.com~white smoke on the top of the mountain,
Following the huge fire spewing out of the thunder **** of siege, the dry weeds and cracked sand and stones began to oscillate. Because of the violent shaking, the sand and spirit stones in the grass seemed to dance, no Stopped and jumped up, and then fell again. It's like there are many invisible big hands, picking them up and putting them down, and it's like dancing with boiling water.
In an instant, the soldiers of the Northern Army below instinctively covered their ears, and there were still many people trembling all over by the thunderous sound of the blue sky, their faces pale, and they almost fainted on the spot.
A squad of heavy infantry was caught off guard, and the siege shield in his hand fell to the ground, as if it was also violently quashed at this moment, and the sun rising in the distance completely lost its brilliance
"Pop." The telescope in Utul's hand couldn't help but fell. It hit his chest hard, and the membrane was humming. There was nothing to hear for a few minutes.
These mammoth-like siege muzzles spit out a group of dazzling flames, as if illuminating the entire vast field.
