Release that Witch Chapter 333: New City Wall Defense
When the bell rings, the whole camp is like boiling.
Van'er rushed out of the tent, followed the flow of people, hurriedly ran up the wall, and entered his combat position. This process has been practiced countless times, and even if no one directs, everyone knows what they will do next.
As in the previous year's Months of Demons, only a small number of patrols will be arranged in each section of the city wall in a state of alert, and the scattered Evil Beast can handle two or three people. The alarm will sound only if a large-scale Evil Beast attack is observed by the observation post.
A shadow on the horizon is approaching. Van'er has roughly estimated the number of enemies. About a thousand heads were put a year ago, and it will definitely be a tough battle. As the spearman responsible for the reloading time for the firearms team, he must alternate with the reserve team in order to persist to the end.
But now, the power of small town has changed dramatically.
Cat's Claw opened the gun jacket and shook off the snow. Rodney inspected the field gun barrel and confirmed that there were no foreign objects in it. Then it started to load ammunition. Although the current city walls are replaced with earth piles, the height and width have been increased, and a bombardment platform is installed every 100 meters, which greatly improves the defensive firepower.
The width of the aisle can be used by four people side by side. The first row is a firearms team member in battle, and the second row is a recruiter, who is responsible for filling the bullets into the bomb nest and giving it to the official soldiers in front.
"Isn't it annoying," Rodney yawned, "Months of Demons will run madly every year, even if it breaks into small town, is it not good for them?"
"It just happened to train us," Nelson laughed. "It's more fun to play with Evil Beast than a fixed wooden target."
"Speaking of shooting, I recently heard an interesting rumor about our cannon team," Jop said mysteriously.
"What rumors?"
"Listening to other gunners, those who get the right shots will be put into an elite artillery team to take on a new task," he paused, "does any of you know any more?"
"The Elite Cannon Team?"
"You do n’t even know who you call yourself knowledgeable, how can we learn more."
"Maybe somebody is bored, make it up."
Only Van'er was silent in the gun group. After hearing the words of Jop, he could not help frowning. Someone actually said this as a show off?
Adult Iron Axe approached him a week ago and told him that His Highness the Prince intends to develop a new cannon, which is completely different from the field guns currently used, and will not be delivered to First Army for use. Become a warship with long-range attack capabilities. The operator of the new cannon will be the best member of the cannon team. If you want joining, you can apply to Iron Axe.
Van'er certainly agreed without hesitation. This is obviously a chance to go further in the army. According to Iron Axe, His Highness the Prince has high expectations for this new service, and may even leave First Army and become a brand new. Army. If great achievements can be made, the newly created warship will be named after the outstanding person.
What a glory! If there is a warship named H.M.S. Van'er, he will be satisfied in his life. Recalling that he was only a mining site handyman at first, but always always arrogant, but in the stronghold civilian slum, he couldn't even save his brother's life. Now he doesn't need to boast about the army's careless eating and drinking, thick and warm uniform; even if he returns to the community, the neighbors can call his name.
All of this is a change brought by His Highness.
I think the decision of the joining militia team for an egg was the smartest choice in my life.
In addition, Iron Axe also asked him if he has a suitable candidate, and he can apply for it at that time. In other words, these young guys are likely to get this chance to get ahead, but they are too far off, or just wait for calm. And if they do great work, do those warships have to be called H.M.S. Jop, Cat's Claw? It's awful ... H.M.S. Rodney, H.M.S. Nelson can still think about it.
As for someone who ca n’t help revealing these news to his staff, he must report to Iron Axe. After all, it is very clear in the regulations class. Any news of First Army must not be spread unless authorized by the superior. .
"Don't be embarrassed, now give me all the attention to the battlefield," Van'er coughed twice, interrupting the discussion of members of the artillery group, "don't forget that the adult Iron Axe repeatedly emphasized in class, Mistakes can lead to irreparable failure. "
"Yes!" everyone said in unison.
Due to the low efficiency of solid iron ball killing, when dealing with the Evil Beast group, they use shotguns after the opponent approaches. When the faceless Wolf species first crossed the 100-meter line, the shelling began.
Heat waves rolled up the snow under the muzzle. The huge roar shook the ears of the Van'er. The black blood mist in the distance suddenly rose, and Evil Beast fell down. Whether it is wild boar or Bear species, the fur on them is not enough to reach the close-range bombardment of Iron Pill.
"There is a big guy there," Cat's Claw points to the left, "Red Leather Wolf species!"
A group of people moved the artillery vehicle sharply, adjusted the muzzle to the target direction, and reloaded. In theory, the shotgun does not need to be aimed. As long as it fires in front of it, it can always sweep down a large enemy. Moreover, the newly built earthen city wall is higher than the stone wall, and Wolf species cannot threaten the wall. Prioritizing attacking this flexible Evil Beast is nothing more than training and shooting.
Then it's the long-awaited firearms team. In order to ensure the hit rate, they always wait for the 50m nearby to fire.
revolving rifle's voice is not as uniform as when firing a gun, but dense and continuous. The city's head is bursting with white smoke. The smell of gunpowder is coming, making him sneeze. .
"These stupid people are obviously too small to fight, and they smoke more than anyone else," Jop complained.
"But in the end, it is up to cannon to determine the situation," Rodney agrees. "This is true for Knight, and it should be true for Evil Beast."
At this moment, the rushing bell sound from the lookout post was an early warning of Evil Beast Hybrid's.
Van'er squinted and looked forward. I saw two huge black shadows slowly moving forward in the smoke. From the body type, it should be a Siege Beast with a thick shell.
"What did you just say?" He grinned. "It's time for us to perform. Change the tip and fill the bullet."
In order to cope with such highly defensive enemies, a new type of artillery shell developed by the arsenal can penetrate the opponent's carapace at about 200 meters. If we just attacked Wolf species Evil Beast as a warm-up activity, we are now officially firing.
"Have a good job," Van'er clapped, "Let other gunners see who is the best cannon soldier."
