"Ah, here comes Peter" In the days of defending the city, Zhang Tie has become a "sharpshooter" who operates a steam ballista on the city wall, and his daily work on the city wall is to work with other soldiers, taking turns to operate a ballista gun position numbered S137 on the north wall of Moge City.
When other ballista operators operate this ballista position at medium and close range, because of the powerful vitality of the demonized puppet, even if they are operating a ballista, it is very difficult to kill a demonized puppet, because of the terrifying undead characteristics of the demonized puppet, unless the head is blown off in an instant, even if it is pierced by the ballista, or even if it is broken hands and feet, it will still rush over.
Seven days ago, the gunner who operated this ballista position was dislocated and seriously contusioned because he had been operating on the ballista position for too long, and Zhang Tie happened to be next to him, and after saying "let me come", he sat in the gunner's position, and with his excellent ability, he quickly won the recognition of other fighters on this gun position, and became a special supernumerary on the S137 gun position.
In charge of S137 and the surrounding artillery emplacements, it is a ballista battalion of the Seventh City Defense Regiment under the Garrison Corps of Mog City in the Republic of Saipan, it stands to reason that people from non-ballista battalions, especially supernumeraries like Zhang Tie who are as rangers, generally cannot sit in the position of gunners, but at this time, no one cares about these anymore, as long as they can kill the demons.
Originally, seeing Zhang Tie sitting on the ballista gun position of S137, the people around him were still very surprised, and the battalion commander of the ballista battalion even came over angrily after receiving the report and prepared to reprimand him, but the battalion commander only watched Zhang Tie's side for two minutes, and then his anger disappeared, and he acquiesced to Zhang Tie's identity as a special supernumerary gunner.
At this time, as long as the people in Mog City can be said to resist the demons, everyone is responsible, so what is the military uniform.
Seeing Zhang Tie coming, the gunner who was still sitting on the ballista position also jumped down with relief, gave up the operation position to Zhang Tie, and "fuck those bastards hard" Zhang Tie quickly jumped up and sat in the gunner's position without saying a word, skillfully pulled the reset tie of the steam ballista, put his hands on the shooting handle, pressed the trigger with his hand, swept his eyes, the ballista shook, and a crossbow arrow flew out of the cannon mouth for more than 500 meters, accurately bursting the head of a demonized puppet who rushed over with a corpse, scattering a large piece of red and white things.
The other fighters on the S137 gun emplacements all shouted happily at once.
If other people are in Zhang Tie's position, they can accurately shoot the demonized puppet after about three shots, but where they shoot on the demonized puppet's body, it depends entirely on luck, if they shoot on the torso or siblings, in addition to opening a hole, the demonized puppet can still run over, at most it is only a little slower, and if you really want to kill the demonized puppet, the crossbow arrows consumed on the gun position will be at least seven or eight or even ten shots, and Zhang Tie will be replaced.
Ten crossbow arrows can already accurately kill more than four demonized puppets with him.
"Hurry up and help transport ammunition" The squad leader on the gun position roared angrily, rolled up his sleeves himself, and automatically became Zhang Tie's logistics staff along with others.
From this time on, the S137 gun position shook in a low voice, shooting out one crossbow arrow after another at an accurate frequency of three rounds in two seconds, and constantly harvesting the lives of those demonized puppets that rushed over at a distance of 30 meters to 500 meters below the city.
Zhang Tie, who was sitting in the gunner's position, kept repeating the action of aiming and shooting without distraction, and the whole person's body also vibrated slightly with the ballista, because the ballista on the city wall was fired by steam high-pressure catapult, and its principle was similar to that of bullets in the era of thermal weapons, except that instead of gunpowder, it became a rotating active high-density vapor compression tank under the gun position, and the thrust released by the vapor compression tank instantly entered the barrel, ejecting a piston-like sliding gun mount in the barrel.
The bolts loaded in the turret can be fired.
At the moment of the release of the high-density vapor compression tank, the gun mount will also produce a huge reaction force, although there are shock absorbing springs and other devices on the gun position, but part of the force will inevitably be transmitted to the gunner's body, for ordinary people, as long as the continuous operation for an hour, the arm will be shocked to numbness, the continuous operation time is long, the various joints of the arm are shocked and dislocated or cause serious joint wear, it is a common phenomenon.
However, for Zhang Tie, the reaction force of that gun position had no effect on him at all, and for a person whose body could be immune to nearly 900 kilograms of strike force, the damage of that shock was too insignificant.
Zhang Tie's hands were like rocks firmly pressed on the shooter, constantly bursting the bodies or heads of the demonized puppets he saw in front of him.
This is different from throwing flying spears, but it is also similar, Zhang Tie's super ability to throw accurately is used here, although he can't make the ballista be as accurate as he throws flying spears, but with his own feeling and instinct, it is still possible for the accuracy of the ballista to be about 30 to 50 percent, although Zhang Tie can't control the power of the steam burst out in the rotating high-density vapor compression tank, but the trajectory of the crossbow arrow is similar to that of him throwing the flying spear.
It is with this ability that Zhang Tie has become a respected "sharpshooter" on this section of the city wall, and even Zhang Tie can't remember how many demonized puppets he has killed in the past few days.
For others, such a harvest is worth rejoicing, but for Zhang Tie, such a harvest is meaningless, but it has to be done, because those demonized puppets were also human beings before they were born, and what was killed here was not a demon, but just a larva and egg of the demon puppet worm mother, a puppet worm, can give birth to hundreds of thousands of such eggs a day, and the real demon legion has not appeared until this time, maybe for that demon legion, the so-called demonized puppet legion, It's just worthless low-value consumables, the purpose of their existence is to be cannon fodder and send them to death, no matter how much they die, the demons will not feel distressed.
Who knew that the once-famous Eagle of Cernes would succumb to the position of a small steam ballista at this time.
The demonized puppets that rushed into the city wall within 30 meters entered the downward shooting blind spot of the steam ballista on the city wall, and when they reached this position, it was the coverage of the scattered strike weapons below, and the entire city wall was densely packed, and all kinds of defensive weapons were layered on top of each other, and the demonized puppets who rushed here, after dropping the corpse they were holding in their hands, almost none of them could go back alive, and those demonized puppets didn't seem to want to go back alive, and the demonized puppets who were almost like a sieve gathered under the city wall, Actively accumulate so that the movable demonic golems begin to try to climb upwards, and as long as they are close to the city wall, the middle of the city wall is densely packed In the egg-sized hole, rows of machine-operated sharp steel guns would pierce out of the hole, and then retract, stab, and retract, repeating the action and crushing the efforts and bodies of the demonized golems.
Although the demonized puppets that stepped on the corpses of their companions failed every time, each time, as the corpses became more and more tired, the distance between the demonized puppets and the highest part of the city wall became closer and closer, and after being completely blocked by the dense corpses, the defensive weapons in the middle and lower sections of the city wall began to lose their effectiveness layer by layer.
Everyone knew that the time to test Mog City had not yet come, but that time was not far off.
As soon as he stayed on the gun position, Zhang Tie forgot the time, I don't know when, in addition to the torches, the lens headlights on the city wall also lit up, illuminating the places within a hundred meters of the city wall, but the farther places, it was blurred, and the burning fire pots were thrown out of the city, burning in those empty and dark areas outside the city, lighting up those dark places, so as to provide enough light source for the shooting weapons in the city.
After the sky was completely dark, because of the cover of darkness, the accuracy of various weapons on the city wall began to decrease at a long distance, and the demonized puppets became more restless, and the density and frequency of attacks increased significantly.
In the darkness, the hideous faces of the demonized puppets were like ghosts rushing out of the darkness, rushing towards Mog City in waves.
Zhang Tie's dark vision allowed him to maintain the same accuracy rate in the dark as during the day, because of the increase in the density of the demonized puppets' offensive formation, in the dark, the lethality of the ballista operated by Zhang Tie increased instead of decreasing, but on the entire city wall, there was only one person who could have Zhang Tie's ability, so the number of demonized puppets that rushed to the 30-meter distance of the city wall began to increase significantly.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Tie only heard a bang in his ears, and then his face was hot, and the shooting of the S137's ballista stopped all of a sudden A place on the ballista position suddenly burst, and a burst of metal fragments cut Zhang Tie's face at once, leaving a wound more than a finger long on Zhang Tie's left cheek "Ah, the high-pressure compound tube of the S137 is broken, how can it be so fucking" The squad leader of the gun position, who had changed the second shift next to him, lay on the ground and looked under the gun mount, and shouted, and several soldiers around him were also a little panicked Zhang Tie ignored the injuries on his face and the dripping blood, he wiped it casually, jumped down from the gunner's position, lowered his head to check, a pipe at the bottom of the gun mount had been obviously damaged, and a scorching steam spewed out from it "How about it, can you fix it?"
Zhang Tie asked the squad leader "This is a key component on the gun emplacement, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be damaged at all, how can this be, this thing can only be replaced, not repaired, and replacing this thing requires the entire turret to be removed, and it will take at least three days to repair at the earliest" The squad leader of the S137 gun emplacement's face turned pale In the blink of an eye, a ballista battery in the distance exploded again, and another ballista lay down In the last few hours, ask for a monthly pass:
