Release that Witch

At the two ends of the city, a black and gray smoke was suddenly raised. Two loud noises in front and behind caused the floor of the building to tremble slightly. After the roar, there was a cheer under the wall. Obviously, it was a big improvement for morale before the enemy.

However, Willie knew that the first round of shooting was nothing more than that.

Sure enough, after the interest rate, two groups of mud flowers were tweeted in the field, not only did not have a smashing enemy, but the deviation from the preset points in the previous drills was not small. After the projectile landed, it bounced up, rolled forward a small distance, and plowed a shallow trench of three feet in the muddy battlefield.

Today is not a windless day, which means that the stone gun needs more test shots to hit the target.

He is very clear that the cannons that Jin Suicheng spent heavily invested in and the long-barrels used by Roland are far apart, even larger than the gap between the muskets.

The most obvious point is that the giant stone gun cannot move freely.

In order to prevent the explosion of the gun body, the craftsmen almost melted all the bronze vessels in the city, and even the ancient clock on the bell tower was not let go. The finished product produced by many experiments is enough to crush any carriage. The wall is only one arm thick and can only be placed on a specially built turret. The pitch angle and orientation are controlled by noose. It takes at least one quarter of an hour to fill each shot. .

In addition, the spherical projectiles it fired were made of granite and could not be as violently exploded as Roland bombarded the king. Willie also tried hollow shells that could wrap snow powder, but it was extremely unstable to use, and the output was very low due to the iron casing. He never thought about it. Where did Roland get so many raw materials? of.

So from the beginning, the Duke’s defensive strategy was to limit the opponent’s artillery as much as possible.

As long as the enemy is forced to approach the city, then his boulder can always hit the opponent's head.

After a round of shooting, Roland's army unexpectedly stopped moving forward, seemingly shocked by this unexpected attack, and began to retreat backwards, only to stop when the projectile fell nearly a hundred steps.

"What are they doing?" Greena asked questioningly.

Willie raised the lookout and noticed that the Hundreds of people had already removed the instruments they had carried. They dug up the ground and looked like they were going to clean up a flat land in the field.

"Probably afraid, I want to adjust the team and fight a long-term battle," said a Viscount who was watching the battle on the tower. "I heard that Roland Wimbledon completely abandoned the Cavaliers. How many people knowing the villagers, before relying on high-quality firearms to win all the way, basically did not encounter any setbacks. Now we need to take our attack to seize the city wall, my heart is also hesitant. This move is really muddy. Beautiful, adult."

"But our income and envy are much less," another person frowned. "This year, the evil moon has escaped many of the people, and half of the workshops have been abandoned. If it is possible, it is better to talk with Roland Wimbledon. ”

"There is no equivalent, and the basis of the peace talks, how to win the next one."

"Give me shut up," Willien said, "I will never surrender to the king of the king. If you would rather abandon the identity of the nobility and betray Tiffco, I will first put you into the cellar. Companion with the rioters."

The scene suddenly lost his voice.

In preparation for this defensive battle, Jin Suicheng did pay a lot of money. Not only did it change from a business center to a fortress, he also made some helpless actions that he was not willing to do at first. But in the eyes of the Duke, it’s all worth it. If the four princes started to control the gray castle from the beginning, then he should have failed, but the other side chose a path of great rebellion, which is to try to overthrow the entire aristocratic system and put all power into his arms.

As long as he can defeat Roland's offense here, others will change their previous mentality and support him to continue to take charge of the east. The gray castle will also have more opponents. He can say that he is fighting for Fei Keke. Roland is also fighting to maintain the traditional aristocracy.

"Adult, the boulder gun is filled!" A waiter reported.

"Do you want to continue shooting?" asked Grina.

"No, wait... unless we add snow powder, it's hard for us to get to that position." Willie shook his head, and he regretted that he ordered to shoot so quickly. Calibration, but did not expect the other party will stop moving because of a shot. Now watching the group of people busy in the mud, he has a hint of uneasiness in his heart.

The flat land that was shoveled out can only stand for two people. It is not like preparing for the camp. More than 100 people are divided into more than a dozen groups. After cleaning the ground, they can play with the green long tubes.

Under the lookout mirror, their movements seem to be just a part. There is a tripod underneath and a recessed iron plate at the end. In addition, the cylinder is also inserted. A few strange sticks. These things have been carried on the people before, and they have been put together for only a quarter of an hour, which shows the subtlety of the design.

However, the next moment, the Duke could hardly believe his eyes!

I saw that the other side stuffed a spindle-shaped can into the canister, and then the top of the canister quickly spewed a white smoke.

Just as the nobles were still wondering what the game was, more than a dozen dark red fireballs suddenly opened inside and outside the city wall, followed by a series of thunderous explosions!

Since the houses near the inner side of the wall have been demolished, there are only a variety of traps and obstacles left, so there is not much damage, but the shock to Willie is hard to describe!

At that moment, there was only one voice left in his head.

Is that actually a cannon?

But how could it be a cannon! ?

Although the Duke had not seen Roland’s artillery units with his own eyes, he had repeatedly heard that they were divided into two categories according to the length of the barrel. The former can be carried on the four-wheel frame and the latter must be transported by the ship. Either way, it is not what humans can carry.

It took two years for all the craftsmen and raw materials of Jinsuicheng to cast such two powerful cannons. This is a lack of skill and experience, and in principle, there is no essential difference between them and Roland's firearms. He believes that the craftsmen will be able to make similar weapons for several years.

But this scene in front of him completely overturned his thoughts.

So how does a thin tube hold up the enormous pressure generated by a snow powder explosion?

This is totally unreasonable!

"Remove the stone bombs and add half a pack of snow powder!" The Duke turned and walked toward the servant. "If you put it in, shoot it right away. If you hit one person, I will reward him with ten golden dragons!"

The latter hesitated, "Half-package? Adults, it is possible to damage the gun body"

"If they let them attack the city wall like this, it would be useless to keep the stone guns!" Willie grabbed his collar and said, "Let me do it! Now!"

And just at the time of the order, white smoke floated again in front of the position.

The interval between the front and back is less than ten!

This time, Willie heard a slight humming, like a bird call, and a whistle when the arrow broke.

"call out"

At the next moment, several dazzling fireballs were twirled at the top of the wall, and the hot air rushed over the bonfire and the oil basin. In the blink of an eye, the wall turned into a sea of ​​fire.
