Chapter seven hundred and twenty first artillery direct hit
When the First Army soldiers lined up onto the city wall in an orderly manner, Feilin Silter was really surprised.
As a former star knight in the Western Region, who is familiar with knight training, he naturally knows how difficult it is to keep a group of people in a marching order. Whether it is a knight or a mercenary, when inspecting the lord, the number of people in a row will basically not exceed five. Because the horizontal team is too long, it is easy to get staggered front and back, and it will become a mess when it falls into the eyes of the people in the distance, which is really hindering.
The more people there are, the harder it is to control, but the number of this group of soldiers exceeds 100, with more than ten people across the horizontal and vertical lines. Coupled with the uniform colored clothing and dazzling ribbons that run across the chest, it looks like a square array that moves as a whole.
This visual impact made Feilin feel an unstoppable momentum - once the formation can be maintained, the advantage of large numbers will be fully reflected.
This can also be seen from the enthusiastic responses of the people around you.
"Look at the third row, that's my child!"
"They walked so neatly!"
“It’s like a person!”
"If it's a battle between the two armies, I'm afraid the enemy will be frightened just by seeing this posture."
"Ha, I think I should have escaped when I hear His Majesty's name."
“What’s the name of this song?”
"I don't know, but... I feel full of strength!"
"That's the magic effect of Miss Echo."
"What a pity. May couldn't see this scene with his own eyes," Erin said holding Fu Xiaochenguang's arm. "If it were her, this exciting scene would definitely be reproduced in the drama."
"She is pregnant, of course she can't stand on the city wall and blow the cold wind with you," Feilin smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a chance in the future. I bet that such activities will only increase in the future."
Whether it is a knight inspection or a fire exercise, it is a means for the lord to show his strength. Wudong City has accumulated more strength than everyone imagined. His Majesty can conquer many territory. With such a team, it is not surprising that even the four kingdoms will be included in the rule. In order to intimidate people, similar displays are naturally indispensable.
"Dear, do you want to join this team too?" she asked suddenly.
"What?" Fu Xiaochenguang was stunned.
"I can feel it," Erin smiled at him, "Your heartbeats so fast now."
Is that true...Philin exhaled his breath, so that's it. Even if his father didn't say that at that time, he probably wouldn't be a teacher for the rest of his life.
Sir Silter was right. If he really liked books so much, he would not have decided to become a knight, and to do this to the extreme, becoming a household name for Dawn.
The army is the best place for him.
He wanted to follow the First Army, become His Majesty's sword, fight everywhere, and expand the kingdom's territory to an unprecedented situation.
Although His Majesty once said that the surrendered knights would never have the chance to pick up weapons, according to my father, there were other ways to join the First Army.
I don’t know what his Majesty’s General Staff has now developed?
He stared at the artillerymen entering the shooting position, as if he had seen his future self.
...
The music stopped.
This is an instruction to prepare for shooting.
Vanne issued an order to target the target.
The six fortress cannons placed on the widened area of the city wall fell down the barrel and pointed directly to the cage three hundred meters away. Within this distance, the shells almost never fell, but flew towards the target in a straight line. Since the body of the evil beast does not necessarily trigger the fuse, the accuracy of the muzzle should be lower, and we will try to knock the shells into the snow below the cage.
"Be good, this guy is really ugly," Nelson whistled. The gun team he was in charge was aiming at a large wolf bear species. The latter probably had a premonition that something was wrong and tried hard to break free from the locked coward. His huge body hit the cage and shaking.
"Be serious," Vannah frowned, "this is not a normal training, everyone is watching us."
"I feel a little nervous," the cat claw's voice was a little stiff. "I want to pee when I am staring at it..."
This remark aroused the sympathy of many people.
"Yes, it's even more uncomfortable than facing the charge from the Duke Knights."
"If you don't hit it, you'll be laughed at by everyone in the city."
"Just do as you practiced before, stop talking nonsense!" Vannah glared at Cat's claws, "Remember not to mess up live ammunition with headless bombs. When something goes wrong, just wait to be in jail. Now, recharge!"
After entering the loading process, the scene suddenly became busy. No matter what the mood was, the long-term training had made all of them remember their movements, and they could complete the operation even with their eyes closed.
Compared with the twelve-pound field gun, the loading process of the 152mm fortress gun was much faster. After all the six guns were ready, the countdown of the iron axe came from the city wall.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The noise of the audience also came to an abrupt end, as if they were waiting for the moment when fire and thunder burst out from the muzzle.
However, Vannah's heart was unexpectedly calm. Looking at the evil beast roaring wildly in the cage, he thought of his younger brother who died of hunger and cold four years ago, he thought of practicing day and night to eat an extra egg, and also thought of the days when he held a spear and fought bloodily with the evil beast on the Maoshi City Wall.
The changes that have taken place in the past few years are vivid in my mind.
“Five, four, three…”
He was originally just an ordinary miner in the old neighborhood of Border Town. It was not until His Majesty said, "I'm optimistic about you, do it well." He made up his mind to stay in the militia and fight to defend His Majesty's territory from being attacked by evil beasts. But even so, he did not expect to reach this point today.
Vanne turned his head secretly and looked at the gray-haired man in the distance, Roland Wimbledon, which was the reason why he calmed his heart. As long as His Majesty stood behind him, he would not take a step back no matter what kind of enemy he was facing.
“…two, one! Fire!”
"Open fire!"
Vannah waved his arm violently.
The six fortress cannons sprayed long flames and blue smoke at the same time. The huge roar turned the snow on the wall into flying white mist. The distance of three hundred meters was almost blinking. When people heard the deafening sound of shelling, the shells had already landed in front of the mixed evil beasts.
The compressed fuse triggered the double-based gunpowder in the warhead. Six mud pillars were raised in the snow, tearing the wooden cage to pieces - the seemingly solid body of the evil beast was like a piece of paper in front of the rushing air waves, and the debris of the wood mixed with steaming flesh and blood rushed straight into the sky, and the intestines and broken limbs were scattered everywhere.
