Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries

The power of the 105 Howitzer has already demonstrated its unparalleled power in the battle of Elemental Lines.

But this time there is no ammunition limit, you can shoot as much as you can within half an hour.

Gudern also showed all his old tricks.

The huge fireball shocked the residents of Qingyuan Town. Although it was not yet time to go to bed, the sound of artillery fire continued to explode, making it difficult for them to fall asleep at the moment.

Although they had been notified of military operations in advance, the sound and scale made them a little worried. After all, they had never thought of such explosions in the afternoon.

Could it be that the orc army gathered a stronger army to fight?

…

Chapter 167 The decisive battle begins, the crisis of defending the city!

The afternoon victory was a boost for the town's residents.

But facing the 'possible' second attack, everyone still couldn't help but start to feel a little worried.

But what they don't know is that it's not the orcs who are attacking at this moment, but Qingyuan Town's counterattack!

With the rumbling sound of cannons, each shell fired was a heavy blow to the orcs on the front line.

No orc could have expected that humans would be able to attack from such a long distance.

Moreover, this unknown explosion was not caused by an attack by an ability user.

When a 105 howitzer landed, in addition to exploding a crater of two to three meters, it also blew dozens of orcs away.

When they wanted to escape to the two wings, some of the orcs reacted. They were pressed from the two wings to the middle.

At this time, mortars and field howitzers were constantly delivering attacks. Anyone who wanted to pass through the blockade area had to be prepared to be blown to pieces by shells that might fall at any time.

Although there were some orcs who were lucky enough to escape due to their speed, these were the minority.

It didn't matter that the large army of orcs escaped. The army was trapped in the center of the artillery. If they wanted to retreat, they had to pass through the burning camp.

Retreating is not possible, and it is difficult for the left and right wings to break through, so the only option is to attack forward.

but……

The attack method of the 105 Howitzer is a step-by-step coverage strike. The first round of shells landed on the front line of the Orc army.

The only way to break through from the front is to pass through the fifty-meter attack area in just a few seconds when the artillery fire stops.

But the places that have been bombarded by artillery fire are all ruins and mud. If you want to pass through it in a few seconds, it is no less difficult than breaking out from both wings.

Seeing the suppressed orc army, Chaofan at the rear could no longer sit still and immediately stepped forward to command people to evacuate from both wings as quickly as possible.

Compared to breaking through from the front, the density of artillery on both wings is relatively small. Although it will also cause losses, it is better than having the whole army pressed in the middle and waiting to die.

…

The miserable condition of the orcs. Gudern could only vaguely see a silhouette in the flash of artillery. Although there was the help of magic, the winter night was dark and cold, and he couldn't see anything at all.

However, under such a scale of bombardment, the losses of the orcs will definitely not be small. Under such a blow, the offensive vigor of the orcs in night attacks will also be severely damaged.

Erin, who was on the side, saw the appearance of this kind of war weapon for the first time, and her face was full of shock.

Although the destructive power caused by this weapon cannot be seen, the impact damage should be felt. This scale of destructive power is beyond the scope of her cognition.

If he wanted to produce such destructive power, he would have to at least become a master to do it, but now the young master can cause such terrifying destructive power just by relying on the weapons he has researched.

The bombardment lasted for a full half hour, and the entire orc frontline camp was bombarded to a state of disarray.

The number of shells fired by the 105 howitzer alone has exceeded 4,000 rounds, which has emptied the entire reserve.

On average, each 105 howitzer fires more than 222 rounds, which is an average of 7.5 rounds per minute.

With such a high frequency of attacks, under normal circumstances the gun barrel would be unable to withstand the heat and would need to be cooled down, but with the help of magic, there is no need to worry about this problem.

Although gunpowder artillery is designed with non-magical structures, external equipment is not included. In order to sustain large-scale attacks, the institute has designed a separate cooling magic device.

This ensures that all artillery can continue to attack without worrying about overheating.

The shells fired by other mortars and the 75th Field Artillery also exceeded 20,000 rounds, and the number of shells left in the inventory was only five bases.

So many shells were fired out in half an hour. To be honest, Gooden still felt a little painful when the settlement was completed.

But such an attack is worthwhile. After all, artillery shells are used to kill the enemy, not stored in warehouses to shock and generate ashes.

When the bombardment ended, Gudern took Eileen and left the corner tower.

The orcs shouldn't be able to gather their team's attack for a while now, so they just need to keep an eye on them.

Eileen doesn't need to keep an eye on the city wall all the time. After all, she is not a professional soldier, she just wants to help.

When there is no war, just let her follow you.

In the command room of the military camp, after listening to the report and simple arrangements, Gudern dispersed and everyone went to arrange their own tasks.

After completing the mission, Gudern did not return to the castle, but stayed in the lounge of the military camp.

In this way, if something urgent happens, you can catch up and understand the stability as soon as possible.

Eileen did not return to the castle, but stayed in the lounge next to Gudern.

…

On the other side, the orc frontline.

Half an hour of shelling left the original gathering camp in ruins, with exploded loose soil, buried trees, and broken wreckage...

All the faces of Chaofan who came to check the situation revealed solemnity and horror. Such an attack not only caused a large range of damage, but also lasted for a long time.

According to preliminary statistics, the orc army that was torn off less than 170,000 people this afternoon lost nearly 30,000 people.

This is the loss caused by dispersing the team formations and camps in advance. If we still follow the past gathering habits, I am afraid that half of the 170,000 troops can survive is a question mark.

"The attack at night...I'm afraid we can't continue."

Mengda looked at the situation in front of him and said helplessly, and Miweko looked at the retreating army with the same helplessness.

"Retreat fifteen miles back, disperse your positions, and leave a small number of personnel to watch from the front. The attack on Qingyuan Town will be more difficult than I expected."

"Harlan, you go out and mobilize the army now, and mobilize another two hundred thousand people. We haven't gone far yet, and there is still enough time."

Listening to Miveco's arrangement, Meng Da frowned slightly.

"If we mobilize more troops, there will only be 200,000 reinforcements supporting the front line. The empire's reinforcements are also on the way. I'm afraid this will affect the front line, right?"

"You have also seen the situation in Qingyuan Town. Let him be here like this, let alone the elemental leylines. If the battle on the front line becomes tense and they suddenly send troops to attack, who of us can bear it?"

"It is worth whatever price we pay to capture Qingyuan Town now. After all, there are still elemental leylines. Even if the war is unfavorable, as long as we delay the time, we will be able to fight back sooner or later."

Listening to Miweko's words, Meng Da remained silent. There was indeed nothing wrong with what the other party said. If they could successfully capture Qingyuan Town, no matter how great their losses were, it would not be without hope.

Another extraordinary Harun also agreed to Miweko's arrangement and immediately set off to chase the orc army that had been advancing for a day.

"Order the army to retreat and rest for two days. After the reinforcements arrive, we will take Qingyuan Town completely in one go."

Miweko ordered the orc commander to arrange follow-up tasks. The extraordinary orcs nodded slightly to show their understanding.

With the arrangement in place, the orc army was like a wounded lone wolf silently licking its wounds and hiding in a safer place, waiting for the opportunity to recover before launching a full-scale offensive counterattack.

That night, Gudern learned of the news of the complete retreat of the orc army.

This news is unparalleled good news for Qingyuan Town. With the retreat buffer zone, even if the orc army wants to attack again, Qingyuan Town will have enough time to prepare for it.

After confirming that there would be no large-scale war at night, Gudern took Eileen back to the castle to rest.

After all, the lounge in the command room is really just a lounge, without any comfort.

…

The next morning, Erin got up early and started busy, completing her work quickly.

Although as the head maid, she no longer needs to do many things herself, but her habit makes her more inclined to do the tidying up herself.

After completing his job, he immediately put on his armor and followed Gudern out.

The news of the retreat of the orc army has been known to the residents of the town. Everyone who walked in the morning had joy and excitement on their faces.

The strength of Qingyuan Town was even greater than they expected. The orc army was unable to break through the siege and was even evacuated backwards after last night's military operation.

These various deeds and publicity combined have enhanced the confidence of the people and refugees, and they have worked harder and harder at work.

Although the orc army did not launch an attack, the preparations in Qingyuan Town did not stop for a moment.

Ammunition production plants run their wheels around the clock to make up for previous losses.

The training of new recruits is also in progress. As the saying goes, if you don't sharpen your weapon before the battle, it will be useless.

The orc side has not launched another attack for two full days since it was bombarded.

This unusual situation made Gudern smell a hint of crisis, and immediately asked Noros to lurk out of the city to check the situation.

But when Noros returned to report, Gudern was shocked by the orcs' arrangements and took a breath.

"The orcs have mobilized another 200,000 people from the second round of troops. They are all resting fifteen kilometers away from Qingyuan Town."

"And a large number of orc craftsmen are building engineering equipment. The number is very large. It is estimated that the attack on Qingyuan Town will be within the next two days at the latest."

Another 200,000 people were transferred, and adding the original number of people, it already exceeded 300,000!

When we resisted 200,000 orcs before, we relied on the opponent's rapid march and no time to rest and prepare.

And now that at least 300,000 orcs have been resting and preparing outside for a long time, Qingyuan Town may really be in crisis for the next battle.

Thinking of this, Gudern couldn't sit still and stood up immediately.

"Next, pay attention to the movements of the orc army. If anything happens, notify me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master."

After getting up, Gooden immediately went to the research institute to see how far the research on the new weapon had progressed.

In the institute, Buck learned that Gooden wanted to know the progress, so he immediately took him to the testing site and organized a simple test.

The test results of the experimental model made Gooden very satisfied. As the chief designer, Buck did not explain the principle to Gooden, but asked a question.

"Master, according to your idea, there is nothing wrong with the preliminary structural principle of the weapon. The test feedback is good, but there is a problem..."

"explain."

"The experimental models are all reduced in scale, and their test power can be effectively controlled. However, after they are enlarged, there is no suitable test site in Qingyuan Town, and the appropriate equivalent size cannot be estimated."
