Part Two Chapter 40 The Battle of the Imperial Capital 6
[69 Book Bar - www.] Bi Wei waved the command flag in his hand downwards, and the dragon cannons lined up in a row made a loud noise, and a pungent smoke came out. I saw not all the dragon cannons.
Flames spurted out from the muzzles of the cannons, but they were fired one at a time, exactly halfway. I thought for a moment that half of the Shenlong cannons had malfunctioned, but I immediately understood that this was Bi Wei's plan.
It is quite time-consuming to load the gunpowder and cannons of the Divine Dragon Cannon. If twenty Divine Dragon Cannons are fired at the same time, once the Snake Man's offensive cannot be repelled, it will inevitably become a melee. Originally, the Divine Dragon Cannon still has the power of three cannons, so this can only
One shot was fired. Bi Wei did this, and the time between each shot was greatly shortened. A total of six shots can be fired before and after. It can also cover up the weakness of the Shenlong Cannon which can only fire three times. I used to form an archery team in the forward battalion.
The same is true.
The cannon shook the ground as if it was trembling. Feiyu was shaken, but he immediately stood firm again. At this time, the smoke dissipated, and the snake men who rushed up paused, and the queue was littered with corpses.
Broken limbs and broken arms were everywhere. The vanguard who was at the forefront, facing the city gate, had been beaten into a mess by the divine dragon cannon. The casualties must have been hundreds.
There was a cheer from the top of the city. The cheer was deafening, but the uneasiness in my heart was even worse. Even if one shot can kill two hundred snakemen, then the six shots in front and back can only kill more than a thousand at best. In tens of thousands
Among the snakemen, such a number is really insignificant. The divine dragon cannon is not so much a weapon for defeating the enemy.
It is a weapon, rather it is a tool to disrupt the enemy and boost one's own morale. Moreover, the Shenlong Cannon can only guard the city gate. Now the Snake Man is taking a central breakthrough and will be hit by us. If they stop in the middle now
, but outflank it with two wings, so can the armies on both sides stop the snake people?
After the Snake Man paused for a moment, he suddenly roared again and charged forward again. This roar also contained anger. He must have never suffered such a big loss since the war with the Empire. But this roar
Before the shouts had dispersed, Bi Wei's divine dragon cannon made another loud noise. Although the snake man was heavy, the sound of the divine dragon cannon overwhelmed the snake man's roar.
This cannon killed and injured a large number of the Snakemen gathered among them. Chen Zhong stood next to me and exclaimed: "Oh my God! This thing is so powerful, General Chu, it is better than the fire thunder you used before."
There are so many bullets.”
The Shenlong Cannon is naturally more powerful than fire bombs, and much more powerful than flat mines. After these two cannons, the snake man in the middle has left a body of corpses. I am afraid that Pu Anli will pay the price of 2,000 people and kill the snakes.
There were not as many people as these two cannons. I looked at Bi Wei. At this time, the Fire Legion was loading the ten divine dragon cannons that were launched for the first time. Some soldiers were wiping the inner barrels of the ten divine dragon cannons that had just been launched and preparing them.
Put it again.
If the Shenlong Cannon can be put down all the time, with such a series of bombardments, the Snake Man will really not be able to take a step beyond the thunder. But I know that the Shenlong Cannon can only fire three shots. If the Snake Man retreats in spite of the difficulties, it will give the Shenlong Cannon time to cool down.
Bi Wei's Fire Legion can exert greater power. But if the Snake Man rushes forward desperately, it is unknown whether all six cannons can be fired.
We looked at the snakemen. The snakemen were stunned by these two cannons. Although the casualties were insignificant to them, they must have never heard of this new weapon. It was like thousands of thunder crossbows firing at the same time.
Those scorching cannons flew in all directions, and the scales and soft armor on the snake man's body couldn't stop them. Naturally,
The Divine Dragon Cannon can penetrate five layers of cowhide within eighty steps. It is easy to penetrate three layers of cowhide at a distance of about a hundred steps. The snake-man's scales are very hard and can withstand a layer of soft armor, but they cannot block it.
With such power, there are more than a thousand cannons fired, and each one is as sharp as the sharp arrows fired by the thunder crossbow. There is no way the snake man can stop it.
The snake-men were still unwilling to retreat after being shot twice. At this time, they gathered in the middle and rushed forward. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the snake-men are different from humans. They are less afraid of death than humans, but they are also dumber.
.Perhaps the Snake Man is still unconvinced after suffering such a big loss, and still wants to attack on the original route. If he does, he will fall into Bi Wei's trap. He is afraid that if he gets closer, he will suffer even greater losses.
Seeing us gathered in front of the door, the snake people's countermeasure was to break through the center. They must be extremely confident in their own strength. The two wings were far behind at this time, but they still didn't learn their lesson, and they probably didn't care about the casualties at all.
Stepping on the dead body, he advanced three more times.
More than ten steps. At this time, there were only sixty or seventy steps left from us. We could all see the ferocious face of the snake man. Chen Zhong clenched the long-handled ax in his hand and seemed to be rushing out again. I
On the horse, he stretched out his hand to hold his shoulders and whispered: "General Chen, act according to your plan."
The snake men gathered this time, and those in the front row also held large shields. In order to defend against our thunder crossbows, those in the front were now holding large shields. This kind of shield is extremely thick, and it is difficult for thunder crossbows to penetrate it. Shenlong
Two more cannons were fired. The power of these two cannons was greater than before. After one cannon,
The snake men at the front were beaten to pieces with their shields, and even the snake men further back were wounded all over by the flying cannons. Every time the Shenlong Cannon fired, cheers surged from the top of the city.
There was a roar, and for a while the sound filled the sky. Although the snake man was also roaring, it was completely suppressed by us.
There are four cannons at the front and back, and each Shenlong cannon can only be fired once. I looked at the fire regiment, and now they have to wear a pair of big gloves when loading gunpowder. I am afraid that if they load it with bare hands, they will be roasted by the hot barrel.
Jiao. Everyone was cheering. They had no idea that the crisis was right in front of them, and that the powerful Shenlong Cannon would soon become mute.
We were about to attack. I shook the spear in my hand, but the doubts in my heart were even greater. What on earth was Marquis Wen planning? Did he base all his confidence on these six-shot divine dragon cannon?
With a "boom" sound, the ten divine dragon cannons were fired again, and a large number of the snake men who rushed at the front fell down. I looked at the fire army, and the barrels of the divine dragon cannons that had just been fired had turned dark red.
, as if it had just been taken out of the fire. If you put the gunpowder in it at this time, you are afraid that it will explode immediately and you will not be able to fire it again.
I lowered my head on the horse and said to Cao Wendao on the side: "General Cao, fire another cannon, and we will gather in the middle to cover the dragon cannon and don't let the snake people rush up."
Cao Wendao was a little surprised and said: "Why? The snake man can't charge forward at all."
It is true that under the fierce bombardment of the Shenlong Cannon, the Snake Men cannot rush over, but the power of the Shenlong Cannon has been used up, and we still have to control the war. How can the five thousand forward battalion face the overwhelming Snake Men?
How long will it last? Why would Marquis Wen have the confidence to fight with the snake people in the wild? I can't figure it out, but I know that Marquis Wen will definitely have a plan.
Now, I can only believe Wen Hou.
At this time, a big flag suddenly moved in the rear of the snake people. The snake people in the front row stopped the chaos and began to separate to both sides. Chen Zhong shouted: "The snake people are running away!"
Instead of running away, the snake people finally gave up the strategy of breaking through the center and deployed their two wings. If Man Anli hadn't fought a fierce battle first, the snake people would have completed the two-wing expansion and outflanked and eliminated the 70,000 troops under the city.
In order to fight for the decisive battle, Marquis Wen only guarded a total of more than 10,000 points at the top of the city. Once the field army failed, these more than 10,000 city defenders would be useless.
I couldn't help but look back at Marquis Wen on the city. He was looking at the Snake Man who was gradually coming up. His face was still as if nothing had happened, but he was holding on to the city wall tightly with both hands.
How long can a twenty-foot-high city wall withstand the attack of the Snake Man? Maybe this is what Marquis Wen was thinking. At this time, my heart calmed down and I didn't feel so panicked.
With a "boom", the Shenlong Cannon made another sound, knocking down a row of snake men in front. But at this time, the snake men had already dispersed to the left and right, and did not dare to face the power of the Shenlong Cannon. This cannon was already at the end of its might.
