Hearing the sound of the horn, the KPA launched its action in accordance with the battle plan, and they all climbed the city wall and ran to the predetermined position, armed with bolt-action rifles, and waited for the battle.Also in place were the Heavy and his second-in-command, who chose to take every battle seriously, even though they knew that the first wave of the offensive might not be useful.The object sniper and the magic sniper also came up.The difference between a recruit and a veteran is evident here, and the recruit has heard of the name of the undead monster, and even if he has a gun in his hand, he is still very nervous about participating in the battle for the first time.In contrast, veterans have been through many battles and are more composure, and from time to time they will try to calm the recruits and make them not so nervous.In addition, the Templars who had come to their aid also arrived with guns in hand.Since selling the first batch of weapons and bullets to the Holy Cult of Caleb in the early spring of this year, Owen has allowed Dawn to sell them a few more batches.Now, the Templars were also trained to use muskets, transforming into musketeers.However, they will still wear a full set of armor and carry long swords when they go to battle, and if they need to fight in close combat, they will decisively switch weapons and draw their swords to fight.Having seen the power of muskets and knowing that armor could not protect against bullets, why were the Templars still reluctant to give up their impaired armor?
This made Owen feel a little strange, and he asked Bray privately.As a result, they replied that the custom-made armor was a symbol of Templar status, and that they would not easily take off their armor even if they changed weapons.For the common people, wearing this suit of armor gave them a great sense of security, the effects of past glory.I didn't expect that the glory of the past has become a kind of bondage today.Owen didn't know what to say, and he wasn't his own subordinate anyway, so let them be.However, there was one thing that Owen was a little envious of, and that was the general belief that the Templars would bring them safety.The Templars were so trusted by the populace that Owen hoped that one day the disciplined People's Army would be treated in the same way.Looking up at the north, Owen spoke, "The undead monster is here. ”"Coming?!"
Hearing this, Emily suddenly came to her senses, and quickly pulled Yuchina to Owen's side, and then held her hands against the wall, stood on tiptoe, and looked hard to the north.However, everywhere she looked, there was white snow, and she couldn't even see the shadow of the undead monster."
Where?
Why didn't I see it?
”"They're still far from here, behind the sand dunes at the farthest point."
Owen explained.About five kilometers from the northern wall, there were clusters of sand dunes, the largest of which was hundreds of meters high, which prevented anyone from observing the situation behind the group of dunes."
What!"
Emily stepped back and said with some dissatisfaction, "It's so far away, we can't hit them, so we'll have to wait." ”"Nope."
Owen corrected, "Our artillery can already hit them." ”"Can you hit it so far?"
Emily looked up at Owen in surprise."
Hmm."
Owen nodded, "Today is an experiment in ultra-long-range artillery bombardment. ”At this time, the artillery was about to open fire, and Owen told Emily and Yuchina to quickly cover their ears so as not to be frightened by the sound of artillery fire.The two obediently did so.On the artillery position, the artillery moved quickly in accordance with the drill plan, and with the order of the artillery commander, the eight large artillery pieces successively made a loud noise that resounded through the sky.Bang-bang-bang-boom-the howitzer shell shot out of the muzzle with a high muzzle velocity, flew high, flew towards the farthest sand dunes that could be seen to the north, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.On the other side, in the air of the Great Desert of Marque.Winnie flew to the east of the undead and kept a safe distance, keeping an eye out for shells from the north side of the wall.The first round of shelling came.The eight howitzers were not very dense, but flew down to the ground in a relatively scattered manner, and the fire covered the area to ensure that they could hit the undead.Boom-boom-boomFlames and black smoke rose into the air, and debris from the explosion flew in all directions, and the snow and sand below were kicked up in large fields.The scene of continuous bombardment by eight howitzers was particularly shocking.However, only two shells landed in the target group, and a large area of undead monsters around them was blown to pieces, and the key magical core was obviously shattered with it."
Hello?
This is Winnie. ”With the microphone in her right hand, Winnie followed the undead monster as she reported on the bombing."
Two shells hit the target, killing about forty undead monsters, over.""
Zizi-" A voice came from the earpiece: "This is the sixth team of the artillery battalion, it has been received, please report the enemy's current position, over." ”"They are still moving south, they have not changed direction, they have moved now......
"This was followed by a second round of shelling, then a third, and finally a fourth.Among them, the third round of shelling had the highest hit rate, killing the largest number of undead monsters.After four rounds of shelling, there were not many undead monsters left that could still move, and Winnie reported the enemy situation and turned back and flew back to the northern wall.The northern side of the city wall.Boom!!
Since it takes time for the sound to travel, after the shells are fired, Owen and his team have to wait a while before they can hear the sound of the explosion coming back.By this time, the people on the city wall could already faintly see the black smoke rising from behind the sand dunes.Many people can't help but sigh that the range of the new artillery is too long.And Irving is anxiously waiting, because he doesn't know if this new defensive plan is really feasible.How many undead monsters have been killed by the explosion?
At this moment, an artillery captain ran up the wall from the artillery position and came to Owen's side.After saluting Owen, he reported: "Report to Your Majesty, according to Miss Winnie's feedback, this ultra-long-range artillery bombardment has annihilated nearly ninety percent of the enemy in total, which has exceeded the original target of seventy percent. ”"Well done!"
Owen couldn't help but praise.Being able to destroy so many undead monsters has already proven the viability of the new defense scheme.Of course, thanks to the highly skilled artillerymen, otherwise there would not have been such a beautiful record.It wasn't long before Winnie flew back from the north."
I'm back with a successful mission!"
Landing on the wall, she took off her goggles and held up two fingers at Yuchina and Emily in a "V" gesture."
Under my precise command, the cannonballs that came over destroyed a lot of undead monsters.""
Winnie, your contribution today is undoubtedly the greatest and deserves to be commended."
Owen then came over and complimented her, which made Winnie happy for a long time.
