Realm of Power

"What you said is correct. The Anlusu city wall is indeed thick enough to withstand the bombardment of the Empire's Thunder God, and the coalition forces have done something inside the city wall."

The fat man put down the observation glass in his hand, turned to Varisien behind him calmly and said, Black smoke billowed from the wall of Anlusu in front of him, and thunder bullets with thick smoke tails exploded on the wall. Stones were flying everywhere, like hell, but Fatty knew that facing the Anlusu city wall that was more than two meters thick, the damage that the Imperial Thunder God could cause was not as effective as it seemed.

Because he was standing on higher ground, Fatty could clearly see through the lookout mirror that the coalition forces disappeared from the city wall when Thor began to bombard them.

So it looks like the fire is raging into the sky, but in fact the real losses are not big. It seems that just as Varisien said, the coalition forces are already prepared for the Imperial Thunder God. They deliberately dug more than a dozen gullies in front to delay the approach of the Imperial infantry. The city wall Secret passages for hiding have also been prepared internally, but with these alone, I am afraid that An Lusu's coalition forces will be disappointed. The Imperial Army's Thor has gone through three generations of replacements. For Different defenses naturally have different firepower, and this time, the ship came with five of the latest Imperial Siege Thunder Gods specially transferred from the Empire. The caliber of this Siege Thunder God is higher than that of ordinary Thors. A linen disc main gun was disassembled from the dragon-class battleship he was riding in and transported to the battlefield of Anlusu. Fatty wanted to use the Anlusu city wall to test the latest imperial siege thunder god.

"Ordinary thunder god bombardments are useless, order the thunder god to stop!"

The fat man waved his hand. Since it doesn't have much effect, don't waste the shells. Soon, all the roars of the Imperial Thunder Gods stopped, and a sheet of white gunpowder smoke drifted in the wind, filling the front of the Thunder God array, as if a white mist rose out of thin air from the earth. This white mist blocked most people's sight. Only a few people saw that on the right side of the line of the Imperial Thunder God, several heavy weapons that were shaped like large pots were lifted from the carriage by soldiers using crane wheels to carry these weapons. The carriages all have a maximum load of sixteen horses, and the wheels run over them. There are also deep marks, which shows the heavyness of this weapon. The short barrel shines with its powerful nature, and the huge metal muzzle is nearly ten times larger than the ordinary Thor. The empire's general Wari saw this scene. Sean was also a little dazed

Is this thing also a thunder god? The one with the same expression as Varisien. There are many imperial soldiers who have seen these weapons. In their minds, shouldn't Thor have a long barrel? Do these weapons in front of them have barrels? Short, thick, and full of violence, if you have to find a word that best describes it, it would be a toad! These weapons are like fat toads with their mouths wide open. Who would have thought that this is the third-generation Thor that the Imperial Military Research Institute spent two years improving on the original Siege Thunder God. This is the highest achievement of the empire's current military industry. In order to fulfill the requirements delivered by His Majesty Falcon, the Imperial Military Research Institute has used all its strength and caused many casualties. The original design plan was based on the overall design, and the entire attack The city cannon was a densely connected whole. Later, it had to be changed to one that could be assembled and divided into multiple parts. This made it easier to transport and assemble. "Long live" saw the bombardment of the Imperial Thunder God stopped, and a sudden sound came from the wall of Anlusu. There was a roar of cheers. That was the cry of the coalition soldiers.

The power of the Imperial Thunder God has scared them out of their courage, and now they find that the Imperial Thunder God is not very effective against them. Immediately, morale was high in the hearts of the coalition forces. As long as the Imperial Thunder God is unable to exert its effectiveness, the Imperial Army's attempt to capture Anlusu City, which is defended by 200,000 coalition troops, is delusional. The Imperial Army's strength is only 200,000 people, and the coalition forces have the advantage of defending. One hundred thousand, who is afraid of whom!

This is the thinking of the coalition forces, come on, come and fight if you have the ability! The coalition soldiers on the city wall made various provocative actions towards the densely packed Imperial Army formation below. Some soldiers took off their pants and stood on the city wall to urinate in the direction of the Imperial Army to show their contempt. What swept across the northern part of Obarro The powerful empire, the God of Thunder that destroys everything, are all bullshit! The coalition troops on the city wall raised their weapons and beat their shields, making an overwhelming sound, "Your Majesty! I request an order to attack the city!" Varisien had a cold and frightening face, and knelt down on one knee behind the fat man. The murderous intent in his eyes was almost overflowing. Being mocked like this in front of His Majesty the Falcon, even Varisien felt angry inside. Of course, how much of this anger was real? Only Varisien knew that he had been confronting the coalition forces for more than a day or two. He knew the virtues of An Lusu's coalition forces very well. If he could defeat An Lusu with the help of the Empire's Thunder God, he might I have already ordered a strong attack on An Lusu. If I don't show some indignation now, how can I show His Majesty the Falcon that I am dedicated to this battle? You see, relying solely on the God of Thunder cannot defeat An Lusu! "Not bad, don't say that Varisien didn't know that such a situation would happen!" The fat man's face darkened slightly, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife, which made Varisian feel hairy in his heart, and he quickly lowered his head, "Subordinate, don't you?" Dare" Varisien only felt that the eyes of His Majesty Falcon were as if they were real. It penetrated my own mind, and cold sweat started to fall on my forehead. If I were to say that I would be so embarrassed by such a low-grade provocation, I would have been killed by my opponents countless times. This kind of performance was nothing more than for His Majesty to see. Unexpectedly, His Majesty Falcon already knew what he was thinking.

Fatty was also a little surprised by the stability of Anlusu, but he thought that since this is the core area of ​​Kyoto, Anlusu, as the most important acropolis of Kyoto that has been repaired by Istan people for more than a hundred years, could have such a defense. Even the power can understand

Anlusu City is not a very large city, with a length and width of only five or six kilometers. The 200,000 coalition troops were able to shrink into Anlusu City only because they abandoned tens of thousands of wounded soldiers and there were not many The reason for the heavy baggage, but even so, the city is still crowded with people. After all, the houses in the city are very limited. As an acropolis, Anlusu itself does not have many places to live outside of its strong defense. Many of them are watchtowers made of various stones. In order to accommodate more people and the materials needed to strengthen the city walls, the coalition forces demolished all the stone buildings in the city. The stones were used as materials to reinforce the city walls, and the vacant space was used as military camp. Then a large area of ​​forest was cut down outside Anlusu City, and wooden military camps were built next to each other in the city. In such a clean environment, looking at it from a distance, it was like seeing the kind of thing from later generations. Just like a slum with a wooden house , "Your Majesty. The assembly has been completed! We are waiting for your Majesty's orders." A guard officer rode from a distance, jumped off the horse, and trotted over. Varisien, who was already sweating profusely, felt like he was Found a savior, thank God. It came too timely. At least His Majesty Falcon's anger can be calmed down a bit. "Let's get started!" The fat man withdrew his gaze. Varisien's little thoughts were nothing. At most, he was a little over the top. As this time As the most important person in the battle, there was no need for him to be too serious about such matters. On the contrary, the effect of the third-generation siege thunder god of the empire attracted him even more. He raised the lookout in his hand, calmly issued the attack order, and watched from a distance as two Imperial Thor gunners began to stuff the third-generation Siege Thor's shells into the barrels. Even if you look through the lookout mirror, you can still feel the violence coming from this short-barreled, drum-bore third-generation siege thunder god. Just the huge caliber alone gives people a bone-crushing chill.

According to a report from the Military Research Institute, the shells of this third-generation siege thunder cannon are loaded with more than 50 kilograms of improved explosives. The explosive power is equivalent to the power of five to six Imperial Thors. Theoretically, even the most powerful siege thunder cannon of this era. Even a solid city wall cannot withstand three or four such shells on the same section of the city. The most lethal power of this third-generation siege thunder god is not the explosion, but the shock wave caused by the explosion. The shock wave it generates can easily flatten everything within a ten-meter radius. If it is in a On flat ground. Within fifteen meters, any object higher than thirty centimeters will be affected. Judging from the data from the test site, the huge air wave during the explosion spread out rapidly like a circle, and the countless small broken iron beads wrapped inside were like a sweeping web.

The disadvantage is that the shooting speed is slow, and it takes at least three minutes to fire a shell. It is also difficult to adjust the shooting angle, but because the muzzle can be adjusted to a maximum angle of 70 degrees for shooting, the shooting curve of the shells of this third-generation Thor cannon , can easily cross the city wall and hit directly into the city. This is what Fatty values ​​​​most. If this kind of curved cannon can penetrate into the city wall, it means that it can hit targets behind the enemy's solid defense line, such as in large In large-scale field battles, you can directly Attack the opponent's central army. In a fierce siege battle, you can also cross the front and blast the enemy behind the gap in the city wall. That is where the most people are. Otherwise, it would not be called a siege battle. Machines, this kind of heavy firepower that can directly threaten the enemy's troop clusters, can severely damage not only the enemy's body, but also the enemy's fighting will. It is unsafe to hide anywhere. As long as this idea is formed, Even the bravest warrior will feel a sense of powerlessness from inside! "Come on, idiots of the Falcon Empire, come and lick grandpa's ass if you can." On the wall of Anlusu City, the coalition forces were still launching waves of national curses. Various southern languages ​​​​mingled together, like a large group of people. The ducks were quacking and were killed twice by the Imperial Army Defeated, and now still trapped in this city, the coalition forces can be happy at this time. Who knows what will happen tomorrow. It would be good to be able to open your mouth and curse a few more words. The Imperial Army is really going to press forward. The ten people in front A few ditches are enough The Imperial Army was very worried. You must know that every ditch was filled with various spikes. The depth of each ditch was more than two meters. If a person fell in, he would not necessarily die, but he would definitely be injured. If you want to It would also be difficult to climb out. If the Imperial Army adopts Using the strategy of filling pits, arrow clusters shot from the direction of the city wall are enough to kill or injure the Imperial Army. With more than a dozen such ditches, the closer to the city wall, the greater the attack force encountered. Once the Imperial Army enters the catapult, range, then you will be happy! "What's going on? What the hell is the Imperial Army doing!"

Prince Marix of Ikar had a very ugly face. He was the one who advocated surrender in the coalition. I thought that this time, the 200,000 imperial troops would definitely press forward with all their strength and turn the entire Anlusu city wall into a bloody mess. In this case , in order to get several other countries to agree with their idea of ​​surrender, but now, the imperial army has put on such a grand display. The battle flags were fluttering, the spears were like snow, and one team after another covered the plain in front of them. It was so frightening that people could not breathe smoothly. Unexpectedly, there was heavy thunder and small raindrops. There has been no substantial attack so far, which makes Prince Marix feel very embarrassed. If the Imperial Army has left Thor and its combat power is ordinary, then why would he propose to surrender? "Asshole! That's not true." Do you think the Imperial Army will stay here and wait to see the joke? "

Prince Marix, who was extremely embarrassed, turned around to leave with his entourage. It was really embarrassing to stay here. Everyone looked at him like he was a fool, on the steps of the city wall. Prince Marix met the Adenian general, who was wearing gorgeous silver-white rose armor, and the big cloak behind him was dragged to the ground.

"Your Highness, where are you going? If you want to go back to prepare, isn't it too early!" Duke Mali saw Prince Marix's face that was almost turning pale, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Chill. Everyone said they must persevere, but this guy was afraid of death and wanted to surrender. Who knew that the Imperial Army had nothing to do but let go of Thor. They didn't dare to attack the city in hand-to-hand combat. The Kingdom of Ikar and the Kingdom of Aden were both desert kingdoms. If it weren't for this north-south war, the two sides would still be fighting bloody battles for the Tenduya Oasis. They were enemies in the first place. What do you need to be polite to him about? Although it seemed frustrating to be trapped in this city, he was able to mock the future king of the Ikar Kingdom at will. It’s also a happy thing

"I feel uncomfortable, can't I go back and rest?" Prince Marix's face was distorted. The anger in his eyes was about to burst out. As the crown prince of the Ikar Kingdom, he was mocked in front of his face by an Aden man without concealment, but he couldn't order him to be killed, so he clenched his hands violently.

"Go back and rest. Did I hear you correctly? The Imperial Army was dispatched from Qingchao, which is only three hundred meters away from the Anlusu City Wall. At this time, as the commander of the Ikar Kingdom Army, he actually asked to go back to rest. It is really incredible!" Ma Li! The Duke laughed, shook his head, and looked at Prince Makris with a very pitiful look. , said coldly, "But that's right, His Highness the Prince is already ready to surrender anyway. This kind of war-related matters should be left to our soldiers. It's just that His Highness the Prince is so incompetent. I'm really worried about the future of the Ikar Kingdom. I don't know." When our army from the Kingdom of Aden arrives at the capital of Ikar, His Highness the Prince will also happily choose to surrender!"

"You!" Prince Marix's face turned blood red. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he was a devil who had just escaped from prison. However, what he wanted to do to Duke Ma Li was never revealed. Ma Li The Duke is the commander-in-chief of the Aden Army. Although the Aden people suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Lulan, both Harvey and Fezer sided with the Aden people. Their combined strength was enough to crush Ikar.

At this moment, there was suddenly a loud and violent explosion outside, and I saw a long tail of thick black smoke passing through the sky. This tail was followed by a very sharp crack in the open space. There was a sound, and then something seemed to hit this side heavily. The two guards quickly pushed the two people to the ground. Just a few seconds later, a huge explosion sounded from the inside of the city wall. In an instant, the falling The area nearby is good It was like an earthquake. There seemed to be a pair of invisible hands on the city wall walkway, which easily smoothed everything on it. Even the solid city wall stones had a loose crack, which was like cutting off the city road. The crack spread downwards, causing the cave entrance inside the city wall to collapse. It was like a beach after the sea ebbs. The huge shock wave was like a whirlwind. Countless debris seemed to be flying in the air.

"The city wall is cracked!" There were horrified shouts, and the soldiers ran in panic. From the extended line of the crack in the city wall, there was a snapping sound, which even reached the feet of Prince Marix and Duke Mali. Their faces were full of shock. Just now, they were just a short distance away. If the explosion point moved a little bit closer, the two of them would be dead even if they were lying on the ground. Seeing this scene, almost all the coalition soldiers were dumbfounded. What is this? ! They were still making various provocative sounds just now, but all of a sudden it turned into dead silence. They had never seen anything so terrifyingly powerful. Several soldiers standing on the crenellations of the city wall were knocked off the city wall by the shock.

"Attention, it's here again!" As they were stunned, there were all kinds of shrill shouts, and the city wall was in chaos. They saw two things with the same black smoke tails in the air hitting the city wall. No one wanted to think about what they were. What, but everyone knows that it falls on oneself You can imagine what kind of effect it will have in the near future, even with your kneecaps. There is absolutely no chance of survival. Even the reinforced Tibetan Soldier Cave in the city wall can't stop this thing. Where else is safe? The faces of the coalition soldiers are full of it. of panic and despair (to be continued)
