"We are under attack!" someone shouted.
"Report, no attackers seen!"
"Idiot, on your right front!"
"Someone help me—it hurts!"
Various sounds came and went, coupled with scattered sand and gravel and rolling dust, causing chaos in the position for a while.
Hojo turned his head and looked to his side. The ground fifty steps away seemed to be suddenly "empty". The soldiers who were still standing fell to the ground in various directions, and the artillery that should have been pointed at the street entrance was now lying across the street. At the steps of the granary, there was a long trail of blood trailing underneath.
attack
By the way, he did see sparks erupting from the house before!
Hojo Sao felt that his temporarily interrupted consciousness was connected again - although he didn't know what method the princess used, the sneak attack was definitely launched from there!
"The second and third groups went five degrees west and aimed at the houses on South 1st Street!" He pulled out his samurai sword and walked up to the team in person to supervise the battle. As a Tiepao Shishi who followed the general and participated in many sieges against Yama, he was not a rookie entering the battle. He knew these firearms that practitioners looked down upon. Hojo Sa firmly believes that as long as there are enough weapons, this weapon can become the core force that determines the situation of the war. He is not a Qi person, but he is able to be on an equal footing with the highly favored Anjia people because of firearms.
With the clear order, the chaos was immediately suppressed, and the two groups of artillery took action. They pushed the heavy gun carriage, pointed it at the house where the sparks had just emitted, then readjusted the angle and fixed the muzzle.
"Two bursts, let go!"
The fire starter then thrust the red-hot iron hook into the ignition port.
The iron cannon suddenly spurted out flames!
"Prepare for the second shot—"
The people on the side immediately followed, cleaning the barrel of the cannon, filling it with powder bags and shells, and then stuffing it with wooden poles. "Ready!"
"put!"
Thirty breaths, this interval proved that his troops were not intimidated by the enemy's sneak attack, and the reload time remained at the excellent level during training!
Hojo looked at the bombarded house - three of the four shells had hit, with different angles of incidence, and had already knocked out a large crack in the wall. If any of the princess's troops were stationed inside, they would all have been beaten to pieces by cannonballs at this moment.
However, the fact is that after Xia Fan completed his first shooting, he exited the terraced house along the same route.
By the time he moved to another place to squat, the enemy had just finished the first round of counterattack.
So he stretched out the guide rail from another window.
The projectile box was on the right side. Xia Fan could complete the loading by himself, and he noticed that a guy dressed completely different from other Dongsheng soldiers came to the front of the position. Judging from the posture of the opponent holding a scimitar, he seemed to be a general.
So he lowered the muzzle slightly and included this person in the hit zone.
Taking advantage of the enemy's second round and everyone was eagerly observing the results, Xia Fan once again activated the improved streamer technique!
The raging current flows into the track along one end of the handle, then passes through the tail of the projectile, enters the circuit on the other side, and is finally directed underground.
During this process, the huge electromagnetic force generated on the guide rail pushes the projectile to continuously accelerate until it comes out carrying electric sparks and hot air!
A scene similar to the one before appeared in the enemy's position.
Unfortunately, this projectile did not hit the commander directly as Xia Fan expected, but passed by it and hit the tail of another iron cannon - even if it was only two hundred meters away, The accuracy of the rail gun cannot reach the level of hitting where it points. Obviously, the level of processing seriously restricts its due strength.
Just when Xia Fan was about to change seats and give full play to the flexibility of the machine beast, a deafening roar suddenly exploded, making even the house tremble.
He turned around and was greeted by a scorching gust of wind.
I saw a red and black fireball rising from the enemy position in the distance, and the ferocious explosion wind overturned all surrounding obstacles, including people! The fireball quickly disappeared and was replaced by billowing smoke, which soon passed over the top of the granary, like a blooming mushroom.
This is... the gunpowder exploded
Xia Fan immediately realized that by chance, a fragment of the projectile crashed into the enemy's ammunition - the high temperature caused by the current and impact was still there, and it could burn instantly as long as it came into contact with flammable materials. stand up.
At this moment, the princess blew the horn of attack!
According to the agreement, Xia Fan will fire three to four times, the specific number of which depends on the degree of orbital ablation and the remaining energy in his body. Ideally, he can destroy two positions and open up at least a safe passage for the army.
But Ning Wanjun obviously did not rigidly wait for notification. When she saw the enemy position suddenly explode, she gave the order to charge.
"Everyone, follow me!"
Amidst the long blast of the horn, the princess took the lead to rush out of the street and towards the smoke-filled granary.
After entering the open space, the army encountered almost no decent resistance, and just poured directly into Dongsheng Kingdom's position. At this moment, they were surprised to find that most of the opponents they faced had lost the ability to fight back. Many people fell to their knees with bleeding ears, or vomited blood, as if their bodies had been severely injured.
Even if there are still people who can draw their swords and fight them, their steps are swaying and it is difficult to even stand firm. Naturally, everyone will not let go of such a good opportunity to grab credit, and will cleanly cut down the opponent one by one.
Ning Wanjun traversed the smoky battlefield several times, but she couldn't find any enemy who could fight her.
The grain transport team in the distance saw that the situation was not good and turned around and ran towards the north of the city.
…
In the streets, Mo Yun was stunned as he witnessed all this.
In her imagination, Her Royal Highness the Princess should be the weak one - in order to avenge this blood feud, she endured humiliation and hardship for many years, and finally built up a force that could protect herself. Next, she has to carefully deal with the forces of various states. The King of Qi's royal family is a behemoth that she dare not touch. If she is not careful, she will be shattered and destroyed.
As one of the few friends of Her Highness the Princess, she knew the risks were huge, but she was still willing to take risks for her and stay by her side. If the princess can achieve great things, that would be the best. If she fails, she also wants to be the one who stays with the other person until the end.
But the current situation seemed a little different from what she expected.
Not to mention the Dongsheng pirates, even if Qi Guo's army is here, as long as there are more than a dozen such "artillery", the result will not be any different, right
So Princess Guangping, who was enfeoffed to Jinxia City and has not yet taken control of the entire city, has actually become another behemoth
This... is so unbelievable!
But apart from the shock, there was also ecstasy that emerged in Mo Yun's heart.
No matter how the cannon works, it has to be mounted on the machine beast she made. When this thing actually appears on the battlefield of Qi State, won't her invention immediately spread all over the world and everyone will know about it
I wonder what those Mohist die-hards will think then
Mo Yun never liked to be submissive and submissive, swallowing all the injustice and pain she suffered, otherwise she would not have left the Mo family angrily.
She likes to retaliate directly.
