Three hundred and seventieth chapters dead wolves (4)
The mortar of 120 millimeters fires extremely fast.
The Imperial soldiers in charge of these mortars were like sophisticated war machines. They kept grabbing heavy shells. As soon as the previous shell was sprayed out of the barrel, they stuffed the next shell into the muzzle.
The dull roar of the launching medicine kept ringing.
Waves of shells kept falling from the air with the sound of death birds, and burst out dazzling flames.
The barrage extends forward from three hundred feet in front of the trench.
‘Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom’!
There was not much smoke, only snow, mud and flesh flying everywhere. The shock wave of the shells disappeared, and these messy objects fell on the ground, and the air on the battlefield became clean and the field of vision was extremely clear.
The wolves were whining, and the highlanders were roaring.
Their simple heads couldn't figure out what happened to these shells that made terrible explosions.
In the past, those flowering bullets filled with black gunpowder shouldn’t there be a large amount of black smoke filled the surroundings when they exploded? Shouldn’t those smoke become the most perfect cover for the charging wolf pack?
Under the smoke of gunpowder, shouldn't they lose their accuracy, unable to aim at the brave highland warriors or fierce wolves?
But what's going on now?
Many highlanders who were swept into the sky by shock waves were still racking their brains to think about this problem when they were in the air.
Where is the smoke of gunpowder?
Why cannonballs explode without smoke?
Also, there was no thick smoke after muskets fired above the trench of the Imperial Army!
It makes no sense, it makes no sense!
High-speed cannons are roaring.
The high-speed machine gun is roaring.
The assault rifle kept making rhythmic crisp gunshots in the hands of elite Imperial soldiers.
The highlanders who had already broken through to less than three hundred feet from the trench, were like straw harvested by giant sickles, falling down one by one. They were getting farther and farther away from the trench, three hundred feet... four hundred feet... five hundred feet... one thousand feet...
A distance of three hundred feet to one thousand feet in front of the trench was covered with the corpses of highlanders and evil wolves.
Among the dense corpses, fire lights exploded, causing blood mist to spread out, and countless broken limbs and arms.
The Highlander gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward.
Those young nobles are still several miles away from the trench defense line.
They just heard the fierce sound of cannons and gunshots, but they couldn't see what was going on ahead.
They just kept giving orders, constantly letting the messengers around them sounded the horns, urging the highlanders and wolves in front to rush forward as quickly as possible.
A small airship flew over quickly in the sky.
Several scouts were holding telescopes? They had locked under the waving totem flag? These tribal nobles with brightly decorated clothes.
The airship hovered in the air, and a signal soldier poked out half of his body from the window of the pod? He shook the two red flags in his hand vigorously.
In the woods? Large caliber howitzer is adjusting.
Based on the information sent back by the air signal soldiers, several officers calculated the enemy's position, distance, and the shooting angle of these howitzers should have.
After just a few breaths, these big guys made crazy roars.
At a high altitude, a new type of shell with a caliber of 155 millimeters flew over at high speed? A dull sound of breaking through the air was pulled out in the air.
After a few blinks of fingers, a large number of shells fell down roaring and hit hard near the waving totem flags.
The shell exploded.
A white shock wave that is visible to the naked eye swept out.
Where each shell landed, huge flames swept across a hundred feet in a radius; the shock wave spread around, and everything within a diameter of five hundred feet was swept away by the shock wave? Teared to pieces? Teared to pieces...
On the ground, craters with a depth of more than ten or twenty feet and a diameter of dozens of feet continued to emerge. The craters were steaming, and melting snow and hot blood kept falling into the craters.
Several unlucky young nobles were hit by shells? They and their guards disappeared directly in the flames.
The young nobles near them? They were shattered by the terrifying explosion, and blood kept falling down their earlobes? Many people rolled down their backs, yelling like madmen.
A large group of black wolf cavalry were injured by the shock wave? They were spitting blood in their mouths? They curled up on the ground like their own wolf and rolled continuously? They kept making painful whines.
In the woods, the Imperial Army artillery opened the artillery door, pulled out the steaming shell shell, and stuffed the new shell into the barrel.
For these artillery soldiers who had at least opened up the sea of power, the 155-inch caliber shells seemed light and fluttering. They quickly reloaded, and then the cannons made a huge roar again.
Another wave of large-caliber shells fell...
Each shell swept away all life within a radius of hundreds of feet.
This is a terrifying firepower that has never been seen on the Medland continent. The lethality of these new howitzers is far stronger than the old mortars with a caliber of 300 millimeters, 400 millimeters or even 800 millimeters.
However, the firing speed of these new howitzers is at least ten times that of these old mortars.
Waves of new shells flew out and happily plunged into the dense pack of wolves...
Blood, residual limbs, craters...
In the sky, three large war airships smashed the thick clouds and landed rapidly from the sky. In the pods of the three large war airships, a large group of soldiers held a high-speed machine gun and pulled the trigger fiercely.
Fire chains fell from the sky and hit the head of the caught highlander.
No one was wary of this move.
This move, in the era of colloid guns or flintlock guns, is basically an ineffective attack.
At a height of thousands of feet above the ground, no matter whether it is a cob or a flintlock, the bullets fired will float with the wind.
These new large-caliber high-speed machine guns have extremely fast bullet velocity and an effective range of astonishingly more than one mile...Falling from the air more than a thousand feet above the ground, the lethality of the bullet is the most terrifying distance.
Three large war airships carried at least three hundred high-speed machine guns in the pod.
The airship slowly passed through the air, and the rain of bullets splashed evenly on the heads of the highlanders.
When the war airship crossed the battlefield and came to the rear of the wolf pack, an even more terrifying attack came. On the hangers extending on both sides of the war airship, bombs with a diameter of one thousand millimeters fell off and hit the ground heavily.
In the past, these war airships carried bombs of a thousand-sized diameter, which were loaded with black gunpowder, and their lethality was already terrifying.
Now, these 1,000-inch bombs are loaded with new explosives offered by Qiao.
An extremely loud and terrifying explosion sounded on the ground.
Black columns of earth exploded hundreds of feet high, and countless broken limbs and broken arms sprayed thousands of feet away.
Even Salian, who ordered the creation of these large bombs, did not expect that even Joe, who gave these drawings, would have thought that these 1,000-meter-caliber bombs would have such a terrifying effect on the battlefield.
Where the bomb landed, the highlanders and wolves within a half-mile were either crushed to pieces or completely lost all their ability to move. They were all seriously injured and could not even make a wail.
Round bombs of one thousand millimeters in diameter kept falling from the air.
The war airship carries so many bombs, the density of the bombs is so large, the interval between the bombs landing is only a trivial five hundred feet...
Black columns of earth kept rising on the earth, with flames soaring into the sky and loud noises. Below three death corridors from east to west were formed under three war airships.
Salian stood on the hillside, squinted his eyes and looked at the killing effect caused by the war airship, and breathed heavily.
"It wasted...at least 80% of the lethality..."
Salian said coldly: "The war airship has excellent tactics combined with the new bomb, but you must pay attention to effective killing... You must not waste lethality. This is all Jinmak!"
Salian, and several generals from the logistics department of the Army Department around him, were both intoxicated and heartbroken and watched the wonderful scene of a mere 20,000 to 30,000 imperial troops slaughtering the Highlanders.
In the past, the highlanders had to use at least a million imperial troops to rely on the high walls of the city and fight tombs to resist desperately, so that they could barely deal with it. Only when these highlanders robbed the money and satisfy their cruel desires would these highlanders return with their spoils.
This time, the Imperial Army only mobilized tens of thousands of elite troops and combined with new weapons to form a refreshing massacre of these brutal highlanders.
Even the commanders of the highlanders, whose personal combat power is equivalent to that of the major general of the Imperial Army, and whose extraordinary fifth-level combat power was actually bombarded into a slag in front of the thirty-millimeter high-speed cannon...
The stronger and more elite Black Wolf Cavalry did not even have the chance to rush to the Imperial Army's line and were shattered by large-caliber howitzers and giant bombs!
"The way of war has changed dramatically."
"Relying on these new ordnances, I am sure that the Imperial Army will form a huge strategic advantage over the entire Medlands."
"Generals, dear generals, your mission is here... How to maximize the performance of these new ordnances, how to enable soldiers to better utilize these new ordnances... New tactics, new tactics, new strategic ideas, your mission is here!"
"Especially, everyone from the Military University, you must study carefully what the Imperial Army will be like in the future and how we should do it so that the Imperial Army can deserve these powerful new ordnances."
"Everyone of the General Staff, do you have any insights? With these new ordnances, what should the Empire do in the future? What attitude should we maintain towards Lucia, to the Ice Sea, to Nice, to San Chia, to Gaul...?"
Salian shouted loudly with a red face: "But, don't rush today... Now, let's appreciate the roar of these artillery, let's appreciate the blood and flesh of the Highlanders!"
The highlanders were struggling, roaring, and running around endlessly.
The links are flying.
The shells are falling.
