Release that Witch

871. Chapter 871 is unreasonable “cannon”

    At the two ends of the city, a black and gray smoke suddenly appeared, and 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.

    But William knew that the first round of shooting was nothing more than that.

    Sure enough, after the interest rate, two groups of mud flowers were created in the farmland, 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 and rolled forward a short distance. In the muddy battlefield, a shallow ditch with a length of three feet was plowed out.

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

    He knows very well that the cannons that Golden Harvest City has invested heavily in and the long-barrels used by Roland are far apart, even larger than the gap between the guns.

    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 missed. 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 gun floor. The pitch angle and orientation are controlled by the noose. It takes at least one quarter of an hour to fill each shot. .

    In addition, the ball shells it fired were polished from granite stones and could not be as violently exploded as Roland bombarded Kingdom Capital. William also tried hollow shells that wrapped snow powder, but it was extremely unstable to use, and the output was very low due to the iron casing – he never thought about how Roland got so much raw material. of.

    So from the beginning, Duke’s defensive strategy was to limit the opponent’s cannon 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?”Kalina asked in confusion.

    William lifted the telescope and noticed that the Hundreds of people had already removed the equipment they had carried, and they dug up the ground in the same place – at first glance, they seemed to be planning to clear a flat land in the farmland.

    “Probably afraid, I want to adjust the team and fight a long-term battle,” said a Viscount who was watching the battle on the roof. “I heard that Roland Wimbledon completely abandoned Knight. The army is full of a group of people who have little knowledge. The villager of the village, before relying on high-quality firearms to win all the way, basically did not encounter any setbacks. Now we need to take the attack on our walls and wesitate. This move is really beautiful for the mud, adults. ”

    “But our income and squire are also a lot less,” another person frowned. “This year, Months of Demon has escaped a lot of citizens, and half of the workshops have been abandoned. If you can, it is better to talk to Roland Wimbledon.”

    “There is no equivalent, and the basis of the peace talks, how can we win the next one.”

    “Give me shut up,” William said. “I will never surrender to the king. If you would rather abandon the identity of noble, you must betray Timothy Your Majesty. I will first put you into the cellar, and that pile. The rioters are companions.”

    The scene suddenly lost its voice.

    In order to prepare for this defensive battle, Golden Harvest City did pay a lot of money, not only from the business center to a stronghold, but also made some helpless actions that were initially unwilling to do. But in the eyes of Duke, it’s all worth it. If the Fourth Prince started to control the Greycastle at the beginning, then he should have failed, but the other side chose a path of incomprehensibility, which is to try to overthrow the entire system and put all the 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 eastern region. Greycastle will also emerge more opponents – it can be said that he is fighting against Timothy Your Majesty Roland is also fighting to maintain the traditional noble system.

    “Adult, the boulder gun is filled!”An attendants report from the sink.

    “Do you want to continue shooting?”Asked Kalina.

    “No, wait a minute…Unless we add snow powder, it is difficult for us to get to that position. ”William shook his head. He regretted that he had ordered the shooting so quickly. He thought that the early fire could complete the calibration earlier, but he didn’t expect the other party to 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 camping. 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 telescope, their movements are at a glance – the long tube seems to be just a part, with a tripod underneath, a recessed iron plate at the end, and the cylinder is plugged in. 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, 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 hell was, more than a dozen dark red fireballs suddenly opened inside and outside the walls, 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 William 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 Duke has not seen Roland’s cannon troops, he has heard it many times – they are divided into two categories according to the length of the barrel. The former can be mounted on the four-wheel frame and the latter must be carried by the ship. Transportation, no matter what, is not carried by manpower.

    It took two years for all the craftsmen and raw materials of Golden Harvest City to cast such two cannons that were barely usable. This was a lack of skill and experience, and in principle there was no essential difference from 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 the explosion of snow powder?

    This is totally unreasonable!

    “Remove the stone bomb and add half a pack of snow powder!”Duke turned and yelled at the attendants. “I shot immediately after I installed it. If I hit one person, I will reward him with ten gold royals!”

    The latter is exposed to hesitant, “half pack? Adults, it is possible to damage the gun body -“

    “If you let them attack the city wall like this, it would be useless to keep the stone guns!”William 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, William heard a slight humming, like a bird call, and like a whistle when the arrows broke.

    “Xiu!”

    The next moment, a few dazzling fireballs swelled at the top of the wall, and the hot air rushed over the bonfire and the oil basin. Between the eyes, the wall turned into a sea of ​​fire.
