- Chapter 37 Destroying the City Wall
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
¡¡
Bronze cannons and trebuchets made huge noises, and three to four hundred stone bullets were fired from the north, east, and south directions of the semicircle, hitting the city wall of Cape Hope City fiercely. The huge momentum shook the entire battlefield. .
The shells from the bronze cannon flew first, and the mixed shells weighing more than 300 kilograms of bronze and stone hit hard on the second-story city wall 100 meters to the left of the Dongfang City Gate. There was a loud bang, a five-meter wide and three-meter long city wall. Gaps appeared in the city walls.
??Then a bronze cannonball, a 150-pound cannonball, hit the outer city wall and punched a three-meter-wide hole in the outer three-meter-thick and eight-meter-high city wall.
Another 150-pound bronze cannonball flew into the sky, passed through the top of the east gate city wall, and shot into the interior of the city of Cape Seaview.
"Then the stone bullets fired by the trebuchets rained down on the city wall and fell inside the city.
"ah!"
"Wow!" "My hands!"
"You're going to hit me to death, hurry up and give me a hand!"
¡¡
Eighty percent of Capewatch City's troops were gathered at the east gate for defense. At this time, the dense crowd became a source of pain. The huge weight of the bronze cannon's shells smashed part of the city wall, and huge stones flew in all directions. , injuring a large number of people.
Viscount Lulinsen, General Heifer, General Tutus, and General Makar were shocked to support the female wall and looked at the collapse of a small piece of the city wall. They were speechless.
In the distance, Lin Fenghan looked at the city wall with a monocular telescope and said in a hoarse voice: "Damn, I missed the shot. You know how much resources it takes to collect and refine gunpowder mixture! It seems that we must find a way to improve the accuracy of the cannon." Problem."
"Baron, you see, our cannon only destroyed a small part of the city wall and did not break the city wall. This city wall is too strong!"
"Well! This kind of city wall is very strong, especially built on rocks. It is double-layered and very strong. According to the current effect of the bronze cannon, it will take at least thirty shots from the same place to shake the foundation of the Cape Watch City Wall. Once If the foundation of the city wall is shaken, it will be easy to destroy it! However, we do not have such strong accuracy. Even if the three bronze cannons can be fired once a minute, we will have to shoot about 200 times in total to open a gap of more than ten meters. , Our giant cannon doesn¡¯t have that many shells, and we don¡¯t have that much mixed gunpowder for firing, so we can only see the facts first and scare them.¡±
The war is still going on. The stone bullets fired from three angles at the same time, except for killing some of the city defenders, did not cause much typhoid fever to the city wall.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The ballistas and ballistae stored behind the parapet at Cape Seaview also hit the giant trebuchet that was launching. The shells of this giant trebuchet just destroyed many houses at once. It had the biggest target, which naturally aroused the hatred of the Capewatch City defense team, and fired 70% of their firepower at it.
The giant bronze cannon was still roaring, firing more than 30 shells weighing hundreds of kilograms in more than ten minutes. At this time, the one-kilometer-long city wall to the east of Cape View City was severely damaged. Both the inner and outer city walls were full of pits and rubble. However, the double-layered city wall with a total length of nearly 20 meters was still strong and solid. It was built on sandstone. The foundation of the city wall above is still solid and stable, firmly withstanding the huge pressure time and time again.
Boom!
A huge sound rang out from around the dispersed Elante army, which gathered closest to the city wall of Cape View. The largest giant trebuchet finally collapsed after firing a total of four large stones. The Elante artillery squadron had long given up its firepower and was hit intensively. There were no casualties.
At this time, Hailan, Hailan 1, and Hailan 2 also stopped bombarding.
An orderly soldier rode a red horse and quickly ran to Lin Fenghan and shouted: "Your Excellency, Baron, the mixed gunpowder and stones for our cannon are about to be used up. Dean Ali ordered to stop firing."
"Hmm! Okay, that's almost it. I ordered a hundred trebuchets to be left behind to continue launching harassment. The others will search for the ships with all their strength and carry the loot. We must not leave a ship that can travel across the sea here. This place is too important. Yes, we are gathering too close to the Elante Islands, so we must be careful." Lin Fenghan said seriously while looking at the broken city wall at the east gate of Cape Seawatch City.
At this time, Ke Langde excitedly walked to Lin Fenghan and asked passionately: "Baron, you see that 60% of the city wall in the eastern part of Cape Seaview has been damaged.A part of the outer city wall turned around and scattered directly on the ground, forming a trapezoidal staircase. As long as we climb up these gaps, we can surely capture the eastern city wall. "
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan nodded seriously and said: "I also saw it. There are four small gaps. Their inclination angles are about 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 65 degrees, and 70 degrees respectively. Infantry can indeed climb. , but the gap in the outer city wall and the gap in the inner city wall are not in the same straight line. If we go to attack, we will be attacked from three directions, from the upper and lower levels. Even if they suffer heavy losses, now with our With the number of people, even if we capture this place, half of us will die or be injured! There are more than 3,000 reinforcements on the opposite side, and we can't defend it at all."
"Ke Langde, as a general, we must learn to think. Every move we make must be in coordination with our comrades and teammates, in line with the current situation and strength. Now is the time for us to retreat."
"Yeah!" Ke Langde nodded slowly and thought.
"The shelling has stopped?"
"They finally stopped attacking."
"Great, we are finally safe."
¡°It¡¯s so tragic, look at how many of our brothers were killed and injured!¡±
"help me!"
¡¡
On the eastern city wall of Cape Seaview City, many frightened and frightened soldiers hid under the female wall and discussed happily. The officers, soldiers, and militiamen in Cape Watch City all looked pale and weak. Now as long as an army of 1,000 men launches an attack, they can completely defeat their fighting spirit and occupy the East City of Cape Watch. However, Lin Fenghan was a little cautious and underestimated the explosion of the bronze cannon, the flames and light of the cannonballs, the huge How shocking the penetrating weapons were to the defenders of Cape Watch.
Everyone is afraid of unfamiliar weapons that have never appeared before, and Viscount Lu Linsen and others are no exception. At this time, Makar, Heifer, Lu Linsen, and the city defense general Tutusdu stood in the corner of the northern city wall in fear, looking at the battlefield. Looking at the Elantra army that was slowly withdrawing and no longer attacking, all the commanders breathed a sigh of relief. Viscount Lu Linsen, who was extremely weak-willed, immediately sat down on the ground, as did several other officers. The deterrent power of weapons like the bronze cannon, It's really shocking.
