Chapter 499 Flender Abducts the Artillery
"Bang bang bang...!"
The mountains shook and the ground shook, countless artillery spewed out fire, and poured shells towards the slopes and foot of the mountain.
Some shells landed on Juma, and the burst of flames and blasted mud and rocks rushed into the sky more than ten meters high. The fiery red flame was so dazzling and eye-catching in the middle of the night.
On the hillside, Flender had already led the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire to lie down on the ground, using the elevation angle of the hillside, to perfectly enter the blind spot of the artillery, no matter how the Spirit Empire troops bombarded them, they couldn't hurt them at all.
The only harm is that the blasted Juma will spray a lot of debris, and the explosive wood chips are like steel nails piercing the bones in the night sky. Instant death.
"Ah!" "Ah!"
Several shrill screams sounded in the night sky, and even the roar of artillery not far away could not be completely covered.
Flender turned his head to look, gritted his teeth, and waved his hands.
"Go up, shoot arrows at the enemy on the hillside!"
Many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire were ordered to remove a huge and heavy iron box from their backs.
It is the Godly Zhuge Crossbow!
Numerous Star Luo Empire soldiers were still lying on the ground. After loading the crossbow arrows, they raised the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in their hands and shot at the Wuhun Empire barracks on the hillside.
"Crackling, crackling...!"
Hundreds of Godly Zhuge Crossbows trembled in unison, and the air around them trembled like water waves!
Not far away, a series of blood sprayed from the Wuhun Empire barracks, countless soldiers died instantly, and some soldiers even fell down behind them.
It turned out to be one wear two!
The disadvantage of the soldiers of the Wuhun Empire not wearing armor is undoubtedly revealed at this time. If they were wearing armor, they would definitely not suffer such damage. However, Qian Feier pursued the ultimate attack and light clothing, which resulted in a large number of front row soldiers in the first wave of arrow rain. Gunners and crossbowmen were killed.
On the tower, the regiment leader hurriedly yelled: "Quick! Use the searchlight to shine on the ground, the gunners retreat, the crossbowmen shoot at the ground at an angle, and counterattack the enemy!"
Several searchlights swung down, and under the dazzling light, many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire couldn't open their eyes at all, let alone shoot arrows on the hillside.
At the same time, on the side of the Wuhun Empire barracks, the remaining gunners who used their artillery to avoid the first wave of arrow rain hurriedly retreated, and the crossbowmen in the second row stepped forward. A soldier of the Luo Empire pulled the trigger of the god arm crossbow.
"Boom...!"
Many Wuhun Empire crossbowmen leaned back violently, their upper bodies swayed, and the strong wind bounced off the bow strings of the god arm crossbow, blowing their clothes and flying away.
"Woooo...!"
The strong wind hurt people's eardrums, and countless crossbow arrows whizzed down, piercing into many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire.
"Puff...!"
A lot of blood sprang up from the hillside. The god arm crossbow that comes standard with the Wuhun Empire is far more powerful than the Zhuge god crossbow. The rhinoceros leather armor worn by these soldiers of the Star Luo Empire can't play any blocking effect. He died directly, and he didn't even have a chance to scream.
Flender was lying in the crowd of soldiers, and several Star Luo Empire soldiers were shot beside him. He gritted his teeth and waved again.
"Quick, shoot out their headlights!"
When several soldiers heard this, they raised their Godly Zhuge Crossbows and shot at the searchlights on the tower of the Wuhun Empire barracks.
"Crackling, crackling...!"
A large number of iron essence arrowheads shot out from the small holes of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, whistling with an ear-piercing "Woooo!", and swiftly flew towards the towers of the Wuhun Empire's barracks.
"Pong, pong...!"
The searchlights of the Wuhun Empire towers shattered one after another, shattered into glass slag, and fell to the ground from midair.
Darkness enveloped the earth again, but now it was no longer quiet.
"Crackling, crackling...!"
"Boom, boom...!"
The two sides shot arrows at each other. On the Wuhun Empire's side, there were two kinds of arrows. One type fell from the sky and fell at a large angle, piercing through the vests of the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire from directly above.
Attack from the Yew Longbow!
There is another kind of arrows projected obliquely from above, and many of them directly hit the foreheads and brows of the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire, directly killing the facade and piercing the heads from the front.
Shots from the God Arm Crossbow!
On the side of the Star Luo Empire, there is only one type, the Iron Essence Crossbow arrows projected from the bottom of the hill!
At this time, the advantages of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow were revealed. Although the Wuhun Empire had a three-dimensional cross arrow rain, which could make it impossible for the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire to dodge, the power of the God's Arm Crossbow and the Yew Longbow were also stronger than that of the Star Luo Empire. The Godly Zhuge Crossbow is huge.
But it couldn't hold back the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in the hands of the Star Luo Empire, it fired so fast!
The Godly Zhuge Crossbow in the hands of soldiers of the Star Luo Empire can shoot thirty arrows in one minute!In contrast, even if the Wuhun Empire is a rain of crossed arrows, if they are stacked together, the rate of fire per minute will not exceed 1.
The advantage in speed quickly determined the advantage on the battlefield. On the hillside, the Wuhun Empire army began to retreat, the front row of crossbowmen was almost lost, and the ground was full of corpses of Wuhun Empire soldiers holding crossbows.
In contrast, although the Star Luo Empire's army suffered a lot of losses, they still had a certain number. After observing the situation, Flender quickly rushed out from the ground where he was lying on his stomach.
He shouted: "The whole army charges and annihilates the enemy!"
A large number of soldiers of the Star Luo Empire stood up from the ground where they were lying on their stomachs, shouted and rushed to the hillside, and after a short while, they rushed into the Wuhun Empire's barracks.
Flender led the crowd into the Wuhun Empire's barracks. At this time, the Wuhun Empire's army had all retreated through the back door, leaving only a large number of dead soldiers and various crossbows on the ground, and no wounded remained.
Flender looked around and quickly came to a cannon.
This was the first time Flender observed the artillery at close range. He was very curious and surprised at the same time. A few days ago, it was such a thing that made several of his students run away?
Flender did not participate in the first battle between the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Empire last time, but only heard the master's narration alone.
At this moment, suddenly, in the air, there was a sound of strong wind piercing people's eardrums approaching from far away.
"Woooo...!"
The harsh wind sounds so terrifying, so frightening.
"Bang bang...!"
Several large groups of flames erupted not far from the Xingluo soldiers behind Flender, and countless mudstones mixed with flames rushed into the sky, baring their teeth and claws like a grinning Balrog at night.
A large number of stumps and broken arms flew up, accompanied by countless screams, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere, flying in all directions, and at the same time, Flender's face changed greatly in shock.
Where did this attack come from?From what?Could it be this cannon?
Next to him, an officer ran quickly with an anxious expression on his face.
"Master Soul Master, the military barracks near the Wuhun Empire have already advanced here for reinforcements. Our troops are under shelling. Let's go quickly! If you don't leave, there will be no hurry!"
"it is good!"
Flender made a decisive decision, and he was not a hesitant person, so he immediately issued an order.
"The rear army changed to the front army, the front army changed to the rear army, the whole army retreated, and retreated to the camp!"
After finishing the order, Flender waved his hand and put the other two cannons not far away into his soul guide.
After putting it away, he looked at several large wooden boxes next to the cannon.
Just before, Yu Linglong, the poisonous dragon of despair, once told him that if the artillery wanted to exert its power, it must be inseparable from ammunition, that is, shells. Without shells, the artillery would be just a simple steel pipe or scrap iron, useless.
only……
Which one is the cannonball?
Flender had a hard time. In front of him, there were two kinds of objects, one was slightly conical, and the other was cylindrical.
Among them, the cylindrical object is completely black with a little powder, very much like the gunpowder in the gunpowder arrow of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow made by Tang San.
Although the surface of another conical object is also black, it is very smooth, and it is somewhat reflective and shiny under the firelight at night.
On the slightly conical object, there are also thread lines, and I don't know what it is for.
If it is according to the gunpowder arrow made by Xiaosan, the shells should be these cylindrical objects!
thought Flender.
But at this moment, he remembered what Yu Linglong had said to him before.
"The artillery shell is either spherical or slightly conical, so that it can effectively reduce flight resistance and make the attack distance longer."
So, according to Linglong, are these conical objects?
Flender looked at it and thought about it, but couldn't make up his mind.
In the end, he decided to look at the state of the artillery before making a plan.
He took out the cannon from his soul tool, put it on the ground, and looked inside from the muzzle.
The gun barrel is densely packed with threads. Although Flender didn't know it was called "rifling", he had already determined the function of these threads.
And... the corresponding shells!
"These threads must be used with conical shells. That's it, these artillery can fire down the hillside, and the shells won't slide directly out of the artillery!"
Flender said something in surprise, and then quickly put away the cannon and several boxes of shells at the same time.
As for those cylindrical objects, he didn't take a box...
Not long after, the heads of the two thousand-man regiments of the Wuhun Empire arrived with a large number of reinforcement soldiers, joining forces with the soldiers who had originally retreated from the back door. After counting, they found that three artillery pieces were missing.
"Oops, the artillery was taken away!"
The head of the thousand-man regiment from the barracks turned pale, and sat down on the ground...
And in the forest between Notting City and Longxing City, Flender was rushing south excitedly with the remaining Star Luo Empire soldiers.
His speed is very fast, and every time he taps his toes, he sweeps more than ten meters away, leaving the newly formed Tang family army far behind.
In the rear, a group of Tang troops ran with their Godly Zhuge Crossbows on their backs, trying to follow them.
It was impossible to use horses to charge in the mountains and forests. These soldiers gave up their horses before taking action. In addition, the weighted version of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow weighed more than [-] catties, and the crossbow made of iron, and the whole body equipment was more than [-] catties. Armored knights are even heavier!
