A thick black and gray smoke suddenly rose at both ends of the city, and two loud noises in front and back made the floor of the building tremble slightly.
After the roar, a cheer came from below the city wall, which obviously took action before the enemy was a significant increase in morale.
But Willian knew in his heart that the first round of shooting was nothing more than that.
Sure enough, after a few breaths, two balls of mud flowers rose in the field. Not only did they hit the enemy, but they were quite different from the preset landing point during the previous practice.
After the shell landed, it bounced up and rolled forward for a short distance, plowing a shallow ditch three feet long in the muddy battlefield.
Today is not a windless day, which means the boulder cannon needs more test shots to hit the target.
He knew very well that the cannons built by Jinsui City were far from the long-barrel cannons used by Roland, even larger than the gap between muskets.
The most obvious point is that the rock cannon cannot move freely.
In order to prevent the cannon body from exploded, the craftsmen almost melted all the bronze vessels in the city, and even the ancient bells on the bell tower were not spared.
The finished product produced after multiple experiments is enough to crush any carriage. The wall is about an arm thick and can only be installed on a specially built artillery tower. The pitch angle and orientation are controlled by nooses, and each shooting takes at least one quarter of an hour to load.
In addition, the spherical shells it fired were made of granite and could not produce a violent explosion like Roland was when he bombarded the capital.
Willian also tried hollow shells that could wrap snow powder, but not only was it extremely unstable to use, but the output also became very low due to the iron shell. He had never figured out where Roland got so many raw materials.
Therefore, 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 to fight, his huge rock cannon will always hit the opponent's head.
After a round of shooting, Roland's army unexpectedly stopped advancing, as if shocked by this unexpected attack, and began to retreat backwards, stopping only when the shell landed nearly a hundred steps.
What are they doing?Grina asked in confusion.
Willian raised his glasses and noticed that the hundred-sized man had taken off the equipment he carried on and dug up the soil in the spot. At first glance, they seemed to be planning to clear a flat piece of land in the field.
Perhaps he was afraid and wanted to adjust his team and fight a protracted battle. A viscount who was watching the battle in the Wanglou was watching the game. He heard that Roland Wimbledon had completely abandoned the Knights. The army was full of a group of rural villagers with little knowledge. He had won all the way with high-quality firearms before, but he had basically never encountered any setbacks.Now we need to seize the city wall with our attack, so we are quite hesitant.This trick turned into mud and was really beautiful, sir.
But our income and entourage were also much less. Another frowned and said, "Yeyue escaped many leaders this year, and half of the workshops were abandoned. If possible, it would be better to have a peace talk with Roland Wimbledon."
Without equal conditions, there is no basis for peace talks. No matter how you do, you have to win another game.
Shut up, Willian said unhappyly, I will never surrender to the king-killer. If you would rather abandon your noble status than betray His Majesty Tifeko, I will first stuff you into the cellar and be with the rioters.
There was a sudden loss of voice at the scene.
In order to prepare for this defensive battle, Jinsui City did pay a great price. Not only did he turn from a trade center into a fortress, he also made some helpless actions that he was unwilling to do at first.
But in the Duke's eyes, it's all worth it.
If the fourth prince had won over the nobles to control the gray castle from the beginning, then he should have failed long ago, but the other party chose a great defiance, which was to overthrow the entire aristocratic system and put all power into his arms.
As long as he can defeat Roland's attack here, others will change their previous mentality and support him to continue to take charge of the Eastern Realm. More opponents will emerge from Gray Castle. It can be said that he is fighting for His Majesty Tifeko to fight Roland, and to maintain the traditional aristocratic system.
Sir, the huge stone cannon has been loaded!A servant reported.
Do you want to continue shooting?Grina asked.
No, wait a little longer... unless we add snow powder, it will be difficult for us to hit that position.Willian shook his head, he regretted ordering the shooting so quickly. He thought that he would complete the calibration earlier by firing earlier, but he did not expect that the other party would stop moving forward because of one shot.
Now seeing the group of people busy in the mud, a hint of uneasiness arose in his heart.
The shoveled flat ground was only for two people to stand, not like preparing for camping. More than a hundred people were divided into more than ten groups, and after cleaning the ground, they fiddled with those green tubes.
Under the sight glass, their movements were clearly visible. The long cylinder seemed to be just a component. There was a tripod standing below it, and a sunken iron plate was placed at the end. In addition, several strange sticks were inserted into the cylinder.
These things were carried on everyone before, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to piece them together, which shows the exquisiteness of the design.
However, the next moment, the Duke could hardly believe his eyes!
I saw the other party stuffing a spindle-shaped jar into the barrel, and then a stream of white smoke was sprayed out quickly on the top of the barrel.
Just as the nobles were wondering what this thing was, more than ten dark red fireballs suddenly bloomed inside and outside the city wall, followed by a series of thunderous explosions!
Since the houses near the inner side of the city wall have been demolished, leaving only various traps and obstacles, they did not cause much damage to people, but the shock to Willian is indescribable!
At that moment, only a voice was left in his head.
That's actually a cannon?
But how could it be a cannon!?
Although the Duke had never seen Roland's artillery troops with his own eyes, he had also heard people describe them many times as different barrel lengths. The former can be installed on a four-wheeled frame to follow the army, while the latter must be transported by ships. No matter which one is, it is not something that manpower can bear.
It took two years to cast two barely useful cannons to be cast in the skill and experience, and in principle there was no essential difference from Roland's firearm.
He believed that if he gave the craftsmen a few years, he would definitely be able to make similar weapons.
But the scene in front of him completely reversed his thoughts.
How does such a thin tube hold up the huge pressure generated when the snow powder explodes?
This is simply unreasonable!
Take out the stone bullet and add half a pack of snow powder!The duke turned around and shouted at the attendant, shooting immediately after pretending, as long as he hits one person, I will reward him with ten golden dragons!
The latter hesitated, half a bag?Sir, that may damage the cannon body
If they were allowed to attack the city wall like this, it would be useless to keep the huge rock cannon!Willian grabbed his collar and said, "Do what I said!"Now!
And just as the order was given, white smoke floated again in front of the position.
The interval between the front and back is less than ten breaths!
This time, Willian heard a slight buzzing sound, like a bird's cry, or like a whistle when an arrow broke through the air.
Xiū
The next moment, several dazzling fireballs rose from the top of the city wall, and the scorching air waves rushed over the bonfire and oil basin. In the blink of an eye, the wall turned into a sea of fire.
