VRMMO: Passing of the Sword Chapter 554: Black Beam Cannon
Boom!
The flames of the east city gate shot up into the sky, and the city wall was trembling.
"Fuck! What's going on?" Dawn Forest asked roaringly.
"Vice President, the Yeming Guild just blew up the magic defense facilities of the city gate, and they started attacking the city gate!"
"How is that possible!? Didn't everyone be fine just now?" Dawn Forest was furious.
"It's...it's a catapult. The'rock' just thrown is a large goblin bomb! It hit the city gate directly!"
"MD! Four-turn soil method, go to reinforce the city gate, and be careful not to pile falling rocks into the moat." Dawn Forest ordered.
"The archers at the city gate, when they saw the stones thrown by the catapult, shoot them all at me with bursting arrows. Another bomb exploded at the city gate, and I will take your skin off!"
Once the magic array of the city gate is damaged, it cannot be repaired by the players at this stage. They can only temporarily adopt other defense methods.
"I'm the real fuck, I can only defend, right? Push our cannons up!"
Rows of pitch-black gun barrels appeared one after another on the city wall, a model that had never been seen before. The sudden breakthrough of the south city wall made Dawn Forest realize that there should be no more hiding.
He wasn't worried about Lan Xue, but he was worried about Lan Xue watching quietly behind him, for fear of leaving her with some special tricks.
Although I know that at this stage, it is impossible for any item to break the city gate at once. At most, only with full preparation, beings like Lan Feng and Yemeng Qingcheng have the ability to break through a city with one blow.
For the rest, for a certain sense of balance, there is no ability to break the city with one blow. Unless Liming Forest was so mentally retarded that Lan Xue dropped a lot of bombs under the city gate, it would be impossible to destroy it directly.
"Vice President, that seems to be their new weapon, should we step back first?" Yao Zi asked Lan Xue.
"It's too late to retreat." Lan Xue shook her head and said.
"The battle line retreats 200 meters, and the front-line fighters disperse, and prepare to retreat depending on the enemy's firepower!" Lan Xue ordered.
If you want to retreat, you can only retreat steadily, because the retreat speed of the siege equipment is very slow.
"Back?"
Dawn Forest couldn't help but let out a sneer when he saw that the front lines were retreating.
"Boom! Let them see how terrifying our black beam cannon is."
Boom!
The first artillery shell blasted out, forming a black light that exploded directly in front of the Yeming Guild's line, and a goblin artillery that was too late to withdraw was instantly destroyed. A small mushroom cloud appeared, and the player controlling the Goblin Cannon died on the spot.
"Holy shit, how powerful is it?" Yao Zi was surprised.
"No!" Lan Xue sensed something was wrong.
"The front line retreats another 500 meters! The range of this artillery may be greater than imagined!"
Lan Xue found that the arc of the black light beam formed by the cannonball seemed to be straighter than expected! In other words, this is likely to be a kind of artillery with a long range. In addition, the flying speed seemed to be a little faster, which further confirmed the judgment in her heart.
"No, why didn't I see it?" Yaozi was a little suspicious.
But they still led the team to retreat honestly. The enemies all took out unknown weapons and rushed upwards. They are not fools.
"Salvo!"
Looking at the movement on the city wall, Lan Xue also quickly issued an order.
"Shield warrior protection, auxiliary occupation status effect!"
"Boom boom!!!"
Rows of black beams shoot out.
The shield warriors guarding the siege equipment immediately raised their shields to prop up the magic shield wall, and with the support of the auxiliary professions in the rear, they stood in front of the retreating siege equipment. They can die, but siege engines can no longer be lost.
"Ahhh!"
The shells bombarded, and there was a scream, and the flesh and blood of the shield warriors were no match for the baptism of the shells. No one survived a frontal hit.
But the only thing that made them rejoice was that most of the siege equipment behind them was well preserved.
"Damn it!" Lan Xuefen clenched her fists tightly.
The loss of this wave of volley was greater than expected. Needless to say, the death of the shield warriors, the loss of the siege equipment is the same but the loss is the same, and it is impossible to transport them in a short time.
Fortunately, the cannon needs to cool down between each shot. Even with the help of the ice method, it will take ten seconds at the fastest round. Rapid cooling is not impossible, but it will damage the barrel and easily explode the chamber.
"Retreat quickly, their next salvo is coming soon!" Lan Xue shouted anxiously.
It's very aggrieved, their range is not as far as the opponent's, and they are looking for death when they rush forward, so they can only retreat in embarrassment. But to push things like goblin cannons, the speed can't be raised at all, and the ability to push ten meters per second is due to the strength of the soldiers.
"Shield fighters pay attention to cover, rank four priests and mages, put on shields!"
All kinds of streamer shields are applied to the shield warriors and siege equipment, and there is no time to use them just now, so they can hurriedly add a defense boosting status effect to the shield warriors. But even if you have time to prepare now, you can't stop the shells from attacking.
At most, it is nothing more than avoiding the loss of siege equipment as much as possible.
"Play again!"
"Boom boom boom!"
It was another round of volley, still focusing on taking care of Ye Ming Guild's siege equipment. Liming Forest also knew very well that the opponent had retreated, and only bombarding the siege equipment was the best.
The reinforcements of personnel came quickly, but the siege equipment could not be raised up quickly, and their pressure would be less if they were less.
However, it is a pity that with sufficient preparations this time, the siege equipment was basically intact, but none of the shield warriors was spared, and hundreds of elite shield warriors were lost.
The players of the Yeming Guild retreated under Lan Xue's instruction, and the first wave of siege was over. Apart from breaking the defensive magic circle of the city gate with a surprise attack, there was no other achievement.
On the other hand, the soldiers of the Emperor's Guild had rushed to the city wall for hand-to-hand combat.
"Hoo..."
Looking at the retreat of the Yeming Guild, Dawn Forest heaved a sigh of relief. The continuous pressure from here made him have no time to take care of the more dangerous South Gate. The main reason is that there are too many people here, and once they break through the city wall, the consequences will be even more serious.
"How's the situation at the south gate?" Dawn Forest asked.
"Reporting to the vice president, it has been delayed, but more and more people from the Emperor's Guild have climbed the city wall one after another. I'm afraid they can only carry out street fighting." The other side responded.
"That's good, my side has stabilized, and I will send another 50,000 people to help immediately." Dawn Forest said.
The reason why he used the black beam cannon was to force back the Yeming Guild led by Lan Xue, so that he could find time to help the urgent southern city wall. With the advantage of the range of the Black Dragon Cannon, it can at least temporarily suppress the Yeming Guild from going forward blindly.
Without the fire suppression of siege equipment, melee players rushing up are the targets.
Originally, the condescending city wall has an inherent range advantage. The attacking equipment of the Ye Ming Guild must be guarded by shield warriors at every level, otherwise it will be directly destroyed by the opponent.
The range of long-range firepower has a crucial advantage at this time.
Lan Xue's side.
"You should have seen the approximate range of this kind of artillery." Lan Xue asked solemnly.
"It can be seen that it should be 800 to 1,000 meters, twice that of ordinary artillery." Yaozi's answer was a bit heavy.
"Why don't we move and attack at the south gate of the Emperor's Guild?" Someone suggested.
"What are you talking about? Who is going to the South City Gate?" Yao Zi was instantly angry.
If they really went to the South City Gate, they would directly admit that their commander-in-chief, Lan Xue, was incompetent. This wasn't Lan Xue's plan, but the military marquis who fought it down by himself, but the main force didn't make much progress.
If you go to the south gate to attack again and directly pick up the results of other people's attacks, Lan Xue is not willing to accept it. Yaozi would naturally not agree to such an order from their vice-chairman. It would be fine if the other party was a low-key great man, but it was just a military marquis, a leader-level existence of the Emperor's Guild.
"Okay, let's discuss the countermeasures first. The range of this type of artillery is too far. Do you have any good suggestions?" Lan Xue asked.
She could only pretend that she hadn't heard the proposal just now, and she didn't even ask who it was who proposed to move to the South Gate, although she had already heard it.
"There is no way, only 30 of this type of artillery have been used so far, who knows how many more this group of arms dealers have produced." One person responded.
"It's too difficult to break through unless you employ a lot of people. It would be great if you could break through as soon as possible, just like a military officer."
"Hey, what kind of rhythm are you playing? The military officer is an old f*ck, and our vice president just took office. Is there a problem with the leadership? If you don't make mistakes, don't follow the rhythm. If there is civil strife later, you Responsibility?" Yao Zi directly retorted.
At this time, it is impossible to argue about responsibility, and it is easy to fight among yourself, so Yaozi quickly suppressed it.
Hearing Yaozi's words, those who were about to say something also fell silent. They also understood that they couldn't be quick with their mouths.
Lan Xue bit her red lips tightly, feeling really uncomfortable.
Lan Xue's command is okay, and she even broke the defensive magic circle at the city gate, but it's just worse than that old fritter in the army. As a result, Dawn Forest was forced to use its hidden defensive weapon, which completely blocked their attack.
"Brother Yao, do our thieves have the ability to sneak in near the city gate? They don't need the ones under the city gate." Lan Xue asked suddenly.
"City gate? There are too many anti-stealth devices not installed there, and the anti-stealth magic circle is running all the time, our thieves can't get through." Yaozi shook his head regretfully.
"How far can it go?" Lan Xue asked again.
"Well...you should ask the little green hat." Yao Zi was not sure.
They are also generally clear about the abilities of the thieves. The only ones who really know the thieves in the guild are the leader of the thieves. But Ye Ming Guild's bandit leader and deputy band have been transferred away by Jing Jing, and they are not here.
The "little green hat" in Yaozi's mouth is Ye Ming's bandit leader. His name is Forgive Hat, which is a very funny name, so Yaozi always calls him the little green hat.
"By the way, what do you want to do?" Yaozi asked.
"I want to try breaking the city gate."

PS: Jingwang Fengxue is going to be an intern soon, and originally planned to keep two shifts this month until the end, but it seems impossible. In order to keep updating for the next month, I can only save the manuscript in advance.
I don’t even want to reduce the amount of updates. It’s been half a month since I changed the number of updates. I suddenly reduced the amount of updates and I only have full attendance for a single update. The money for full attendance is less, and it hurts to think about it. But there is no way, next month will be very busy, I am an intern original artist, I guess I will be too busy to draw and draw.
Wow, it's really hard, why is there a hot chicken internship.
