Release that Witch Chapter 116: Border Town defense battle (below)

Knight Charge does not raise speed to the highest point at the beginning. Horses have limited physical strength and can only maintain high speed for a short time. Conventionally, they would let the horses trot at 1,000 to 800 meters, gradually accelerate at 500 meters, and finally sprint after entering 200 meters.

The theoretical effective range of a twelve-pound Napoleon cannon is 1,300 meters. Maybe it is because the diameter is too short. The cannon created by Roland is too far away to look at, so he had to fire in the 800 meters. At this point, the cannon's crosshair has been guaranteed, and the cannonball will still bounce forward after landing, causing line killing. The possibility of hitting multiple targets is still high.

Duke Ryan In order for the mercenaries to get on first, order Knight to stand by in the acceleration zone. This is usually an absolutely safe area. Both bow and crossbow cannot threaten Knight, while the latter leaves a sufficient distance to raise the horse. speed. The low collection efficiency of the mercenaries made the Knight already in place to stop mount, and stood still and waited. For Artillery team, they have become almost fixed targets.

Duke doesn't know. When his troops stepped into this land, he was already in the battlefield preset by Roland. The road in the middle is flat and wide, and the sides are filled with Leaf-catalyzed plants. It looks like ordinary grass, but knee-deep weeds are covered with thick vines, like a stumbling horse. If the cavalry wants to cover the side of the line of defense, it can only advance at a very low speed. The distance is marked by Soraya within a kilometer range, and the ground may not be clear, but in the eyes of Lightning looking down at the world, the battlefield is accurately divided into segments. Different colored marks represent different distances. Moving forward on a straight ruler, the artillery team no longer needs to calculate the muzzle firing angle. It only needs to implement the predetermined steps in the exercise.

The twelve-pound cannon in the Van'er group roared first.

The large amount of gas produced by the deflagration of gunpowder pushed the projectile outward, and it accelerated to more than 400 meters per second when it flew out of the mouth, almost between two rounds of breathing. The shell slammed on the ground with a howling sound. Cross between the two Knight and fall into the grass by the road. The splash of dirt and gravel caused the horse to run away in shock. One of them had no time to react and accidentally fell off the horse.

The two subsequent shells were also missed, bringing up a stream of dust.

In the first round of the four-door cannon, only the last group became the lucky one. The iron ball was empty and no one was in front of it. A Knight happened to pass in front of it when it was controlling the frightened mount. After the iron ball pierced the thin iron skin together with the flesh, it bounced on the ground after a small bounce and broke a Knight calf. His horse was also unloaded, and his internal organs were drained.

If the Knight regiment is in the normal acceleration phase, the firing angle should be adjusted first in the next round of bombardment, but this sudden strike obviously shocked the Duke coalition. They did not even know where the strike came from and how the shell flew Speed ​​exceeds visual recognition. Knight did not receive the attack order, and still hovering in place, trying to calm down the restless mount.

The Van'er team completed the reloading procedure at the fastest speed, and the second round of artillery began.

The flesh and blood body is expose under Firearm. Its fragility and softness. Once passed by an iron ball, it is an irreparable serious injury. In addition to the Knight that was directly hit, it was broken into several limbs, and there were a lot of blood mist splashing out. Only the second ejection formed after the cannonball landed on the ground can people faintly see a vague black ghost, plundering the lives of their companions in the crowd.

Two rounds of artillery came down, and Duke finally linked the fire, roar and inexplicable strike in the enemy camp. The opponent seems to have an incredible weapon, which has a range far beyond the crossbow, almost equal to the stronghold's trebuchet. Thinking of this, the Duke commanded the attacking trumpets as long as they got closer, this long-distance attack on weapon would basically lose its effect.

The Knights however showed very different responses. Some people started to accelerate in the direction of small town after hearing the horn. Some people are still competing with mount, and a small number of people have retreated to the rear. With a crowd of mercenaries, the whole scene is chaotic.

The attacking Knight returned to the main road one after another, and the gunners were immediately busy. In addition to cleaning the gun chamber and loading ammunition, they also needed to move the gun carriage again. At this time, Lightning returned to the defense line again, and the ribbon in his hand changed to red.

The red signal means that the opponent has approached 500 meters. Within this distance, the cannon hit rate of flat shot can reach more than 80%.

Van'er shouted: "The firing angle is leveled! Quick, ignite, ignite!"

After the deafening roar, he didn't even bother to observe the results of the battle, and turned directly to the ammunition delivery staff and shouted, "Shoot the bomb, send it!"

In the artillery training, His Highness the Prince has repeatedly emphasized that if a red signal is seen and a solid shell has been installed in the barrel, the shotgun should be fired and reloaded immediately. If it has not been reloaded, it should be replaced with a shotgun, and wait for the opponent to fire within 300 meters.

The shotgun looks like a barrel-shaped tin can, which is filled with finger-sized iron pellets and sawdust. The can diameter is smaller than the cannon bore, so after filling the medicine pack, you need to stoppering. Insert a thin wooden board and fill in the shotgun.

While waiting for Lightning to send a purple signal, the four-door cannon fired almost simultaneously.

This is also the first time Van'er uses a live ammunition to fire a live ammunition. According to His Highness, it is difficult to recover the ammunition after it has been shot out, so only practicing the program does not fire. Today he saw for the first time the amazing damage that this special cannonball can do.

The iron bucket ruptured due to the huge pressure difference after flying out of the muzzle. The iron pellets inside were scattered to the enemy like raindrops. Knight within 300 meters was suddenly covered by a heavy metal rain. Humans and horses began to burst into blood, and fell down like wheat in an instant. Some iron pills still have not low kinetic energy after penetrating the human body, and overlapping targets cannot escape this disaster.

Unfortunately, Knight, which was not covered by barrage, managed to approach the sprint distance. The only idea in their minds was to break through this thin line of defense and kill the widowers who would only crouch behind the line and operate evil weapon. It only takes a short twenty minutes to cross the last one hundred and fifty meters, and the remaining Knight slumped, raising the horse speed to the highest level.

However, this one hundred and fifty meter seems to be close at hand, but it is an unreachable distance. The last round of shotgun approached the fighting will of the Knights completely destroyed. Within 100 meters, the iron pellets that are not easily deformed can penetrate two to three people. The tapered area in front of the muzzle has become the area of ​​death. Almost none of the more than twenty Knights who have rushed to the top are spared. The only difference is that Just a few projectiles.

The team collapsed.

The team that collapsed because of fear has no possibility of recovery. The Knight behind them turned their heads and wanted to escape the battlefield.

After seeing the Knight regiment fleeing, the mercenaries will naturally not be willing to take another step forward. They have always worked for money, and desperately losing money has never been their turn. It was time to retreat, and the mercenaries ran much faster than when they came.

The wave of defeat engulfed the coalition of Duke Ryan. The situation quickly became uncontrollable. The crowd crowded and fled backwards. The crowded people were trampled to death. No one had time to take care of others, and only hated why they didn't grow much. Two legs.

The tunes of Guerilla Song rang through the audience at this time, and the infantry lined up for the battle line took neat steps and began to clear the battlefield. (To be continued.
