She Is Not a Witch Chapter 111: The times have changed
The short flaming flames bloomed from the muzzle, accompanied by the smell of gunpowder, one by one spherical lead bullets swiftly passed through the air, crushing a shield, iron pieces and sawdust splashing, and painful wailing sounded continuously in the street.
In the face of this new weapon, the old hard armor seemed useless. It was pierced by projectiles like paper paste, the flesh and bones were beaten blurred, and a large number of casualties began to appear.
When Lorrain Hill stood on the tower and saw the round rod protruding from behind the shield, he tightened his heart, then the fire blared, the smoke filled with the gunpowder, and the rows of his own personnel fell down. Next, let her clenched her fists.
as if there was a voice in his ear telling her.
‘My lord, times have changed. ’
No, it hasn't changed. She said to herself in her heart, and then walked down the stairs, the red dress swayed quickly with her steps, and the solution to the problem was thought quickly in her mind.
The flintlock guns in the early years were not fast at reloading, had no rifling, and their accuracy was not high. They would basically fail to hit people if they exceeded 200 meters. Moreover, the gunpowder technology had not yet developed to great success, and the shooting power had not yet reached that of later generations. Kind of the degree of penetration through the steel plate.
Lorraine Hill’s self-comforting thoughts were shocked in his heart. I did not expect that the world’s technological development was so fast, guns have already begun to be installed, and they have good combat effectiveness. In other words, this is historical Is it inevitable?
After walking out of the tower, she immediately issued an order to let the people outside the chamber of commerce immediately return to the interior, close the gate, and guard the building.
The Calitis Chamber of Commerce considered certain defense requirements in the early days of its establishment. The outer periphery is a low city wall, about 6-7 meters high, and there are some watchtowers on the inside, which can be used to observe the enemy and use it for shooting.
The armed personnel of the Chamber of Commerce quickly contracted and retreated after receiving an urgent retreat order. Fortunately, the flintlock or front reloading speed is slow. After the first two rounds, the people behind have begun to move away and retreat, and the number of injured is about The number is much less, after all, its accuracy is too poor.
Tisifone’s team did not rush to catch up, because the charge was not over yet, and the formation was easy to disperse after running, the physical exhaustion was also heavy, and it was impossible to kill a few more, so it still kept the same speed.
Karites’ teammate who had been shot before was quickly dragged back by the people behind, and then everyone began to shrink, the gate was pulled down, and some crossbowmen hid in the shooting hole on the wall to fight back.
Tisifone’s shield players easily blocked these counter-attack bows and arrows. The team continued to advance. They gradually approached the walls of the Chamber of Commerce, and they could even see the long ladder raised behind the team. The situation became more and more critical.
The spacious lobby inside the Chamber of Commerce was temporarily transformed into a medical rescue site. A small number of herbalists began to treat the wounds of those injured urgently, and the sound of wailing and crying surrounded the lobby. In the courtyard stood more than two thousand warriors in iron armor, plus some people stationed on the walls of the Chamber of Commerce. This is the main fighting force of Karites.
These people have received certain military training and are more combative and willful, but the others are more ordinary personnel without any experience and preparation. It is okay to provide assistance and assistance. They can only go to the battlefield at this difficult time. Afraid of fleeing on the spot.
-------------------
On the other side of Hopeland, the Helliss and the Anemis fought fiercely.
Thanks to Mei Lu’s reform measures some time ago, in order to eliminate accumulated abuses and strengthen the master’s control, the Hellis family has expanded its armed forces a lot more than before, and also purchased a new batch of The weapon, although it didn't have the kind of musket of Tisifone's family, was much better than before.
In addition to being a little dazed at the beginning, Anemeyi was caught off guard. The Hellis family quickly fought back. As the first large chamber of commerce in Hopeland, although it was a bit bloated, the accumulated strength and treasures were still There are quite a few.
An arborist wearing a dead leaf costume walked out of the team. The dusty wooden boxes were opened, and the boxes were full of dried and yellowed camellia flowers.
An old ballad was sung in the mouths of these arborists. It was a little vague, with overlapping tunes of different styles.
Along with these tunes, these dry yellow camellias floated out of thin air, layered on top of each other, flying into the sky like a waterfall of flowers, and then began to fall scattered.
The scattered camellia began to spontaneously ignite without fire, and fell silently on the enemy. Seeing this, the Anemi’s family immediately found a bucket and wanted to put out the burning companion, but unfortunately, even if it was soaked , These camellias still burned, and their flames were like bone gangrene, piercing leather and iron armor, causing the enemy to roll on the ground in pain.
嗖——
嗖——
A faint sound ran across the night sky, nailing the arborists who wore dead leaves. The arborists who were hit by arrows fell down on the spot, their faces turned blue and trembling, and their pupils opened wide. , Died of poisoning.
The Hellis family was shocked and angry, and immediately organized its dense shield to protect the remaining arborists, but without the observation aid of the field of vision, the falling speed of the camellia in the sky began to slow down significantly.
Faced with the fireworks of the sky falling in the Hellis family, the Anemi family also began to use their own cards. With a fresh and good smell blowing in the wind, many of the Hellis family's armed personnel started The whole body was paralyzed, lost consciousness, and then was chopped over by the enemy who rushed up, breaking through the formation.
But the camellia in the sky began to fall again, and the scattered camellia fire ignited the enemies, streets, and debris below, and the streets were blocked again.
The flames burned the air and exuded a strange fragrance, which filled this street. The two sides stopped temporarily and confronted each other through the flames.
Noyce, the Patriarch of the Anemi family, was riding on the horse in a neat and beautiful golden armor. He was at the back of the team, looking at the burning flame in front of him, and sighed.
"It is worthy of being the famous Hellis family who has rooted in Hopland for nearly a thousand years. There are such hole cards, and the secrets are so good. I have never even heard of it before."
"It's a pity."
Feng Nao stood under the horse, with a group of guards in front of her. She was a little curious and asked: "Why is it a pity father?"
Noyce lowered himself and touched Fuuno's hair.
"Unfortunately, the times have changed, and there will be no Hollis house in the future."
Some dark shadows began to appear in the corner of the Helliss' house. These dark shadows sneaked in through the internal craftsmanship and opened the side door, and began to rush towards the main building of the Chamber of Commerce, because there were the core personnel of the Helliss house.
"There are thorns..." Before a few patrol members could make a sound, they were killed by the attacking black shadow, and their mouths were covered and fell down~ IndoMTL.com~ These dead assassins along the way Assaulted and quickly rushed into the main building of the Chamber of Commerce. At this time, he was blocked by the guards in his hand. The emergency bronze bell rang, and some armed men from the surrounding area began to rush in quickly, but time was running out.
cyan poisonous smoke filled the lobby of the main building, blocking the rescuers. These assassins rushed up the stairs and opened the doors to search one by one.
Because Mei Lu was in charge of the family affairs during this time, the original owner, Hoth, had moved to the other side with Bell in order to avoid suspicion, and the only direct member of the Hollies family still staying in the main building was Mei Lu.
Some of the maids saw the assassin holding the sword, shouted in panic, and then fell down with blood on their faces.
In a small room where cleaning tools and debris are usually stored, the head maid forced Mei Lu into a low cabinet, trying to hide her in it.
"Let me go out, Aunt Lige, they are here for me."
Mei Lu looked at the old maid. Now she has some wrinkles on her forehead and her hair is messy.
"Shut up, what silly thing to say, live well."
After talking, she closed the door of the cabinet, and then brought in other debris to block the small cabinet in the corner of the wall.
Meilu hid in the cabinet, it was dark, only a trace of light was visible from the crack in the cabinet door, besides her own heartbeat, there was only the nervous breathing of the maid outside.
Then there was a rush of footsteps from far to near, breaking doors, shouting, sword stabbing, falling, rummaging, getting closer and closer, and finally the door of this utility room was kicked open. .
The maid seemed to resist, and then there was a dull crash, and a body slowly slid down against the cabinet door, covering the last exposed part of the small cabinet.
Mei Lu held her breath, tears streaming down silently.
