The four soldiers at a steam ballista emplacement on the city wall were all happy when they saw Zhang Tie's arrival. During these days of guarding the city, Zhang Tie had become a steam ballista operator on the city wall.
The "Master Gunner"'s job on the city wall every day is to work with other soldiers in shifts to operate a ballista emplacement numbered S137 on the northern wall of Mog City.
When other crossbow gunners operate this mid-range and short-range crossbow gun position, because of the powerful vitality of the demonized puppet, even if they are operating the ballista, it is not easy to kill a demonized puppet because of the terrifying nature of the demonized puppet.
Due to his immortality, unless his head is instantly exploded, even if his body is penetrated by a ballista, or even if his arms and legs are severed, he will still come over.
Seven days ago, the gunner operating this crossbow gun position suffered a dislocation and severe contusion because he had been operating at the gun position for too long. Zhang Tie happened to be nearby and said, "Let me do it."
"After that, he sat in the gunner's position, and with his outstanding ability, he was quickly recognized by other soldiers on this gun position and became a special non-staff member on the S137 gun position.
The person responsible for S137 and the surrounding artillery positions is a ballista battalion of the 7th City Defense Regiment under the Mog City Garrison Corps of the Republic of Saipan. Logically speaking, people who are not from the ballista battalion, especially people like Zhang Tie who are carrying
It is generally impossible for non-staff personnel with the status of rangers to sit in the gunner's position, but at this time, no one cares about this, as long as they can kill the demons.
Originally, I saw Zhang Tie sitting on the ballista emplacement of S137. The people around him were still very surprised. After receiving the report, the battalion commander of the ballista battalion even came over angrily and prepared to reprimand him. However, the battalion commander
Just after looking at Zhang Tie for two minutes, all his anger disappeared, and he accepted Zhang Tie's identity as a special non-staff gunner. At this time, as long as the people in Moge City can resist the demons, everyone has a responsibility.
, that military uniform is nothing.
Seeing Zhang Tie coming over, the gunner who was still sitting on the ballista position jumped down in relief. He gave the operating position to Zhang Tie, "Fuck those bastards hard..."
Without saying a word, Zhang Tie quickly jumped up and sat in the gunner's position. He skillfully pulled the reset bolt of the steam ballista. He put both hands on the shooting handle, pressed the trigger with his hand, and glanced at the crossbow.
The cannon shook. A crossbow arrow flew more than 500 meters from the muzzle. It accurately exploded the head of a demonized puppet that rushed over with a corpse, scattering a large amount of red and white stuff.
The other soldiers on the S137 gun position suddenly screamed with joy. If others were in Zhang Tie's position, it would take about three shots to accurately hit the demonized puppet, but which part of the demonized puppet would be shot?
The location depends entirely on luck. If it is shot on the torso or limbs, in addition to opening a hole, the demonized puppet can still run over. At most, the speed will be slower. You really need to kill the demonized puppet. Gun position
The amount of crossbow arrows consumed would have been at least seven or eight or even ten. In Zhang Tie's place, ten crossbow arrows could accurately kill more than four demonized puppets.
"Hurry up and help transport the ammunition!" the squad leader at the artillery position roared angrily, and rolled up his sleeves, automatically becoming Zhang Tie's logistics staff along with the others.
From this moment on, the S137 gun emplacement began to vibrate in a low voice. It shot out crossbow arrows one after another at an accurate frequency of three rounds every two seconds, continuously harvesting those arrows within a distance of 30 meters to 500 meters below the city.
The life of the demonized puppet that rushed over.
Zhang Tie, who was sitting in the gunner's position, kept repeating the aiming and shooting movements without any distractions. His whole body was slightly vibrating with the ballistae, because the ballistae on the city wall used steam high-pressure ejection.
, its principle is similar to the bullets in the era of thermal weapons, except that the gunpowder is replaced by a rotating high-density vapor compression tank rotating under the gun emplacement. The thrust released by the vapor compression tank instantly enters the gun barrel, and a
The piston-like sliding gun base pops out, and the crossbow arrow loaded in the gun base can be fired.
At the moment when the high-density vapor compression tank is released, a huge reaction force will also be generated on the gun mount. Although there are shock-absorbing springs and other devices on the gun position, part of the force will still be inevitably transmitted to the gunner, which will affect the gunner.
Generally speaking, as long as an hour of continuous operation is required, the arm will be shocked to the point of numbness. It is a common phenomenon that if the continuous operation lasts for a long time, the joints of the arm will be shocked and dislocated or cause severe joint wear.
However, for Zhang Tie, the reaction force of the gun position had no impact on him at all. For a person whose body is immune to nearly 900 kilograms of strike force, the shock damage is really insignificant.
Zhang Tie's hands pressed firmly on the shooting handle like rocks, constantly exploding the bodies or heads of the demonized puppets he saw in front of him. This was different from throwing flying spears, but similar, Zhang Tie
Tie Na's super ability of precise throwing is used here. Although the crossbow cannot be 100% accurate as he throws the flying spear, but with his own feeling and instinct, the accuracy of the crossbow can be 100%.
It is still possible about 30 to 50%. Although Zhang Tie cannot control the power of the steam bursting out of the rotating high-density steam compression tank, the trajectory of the crossbow arrow is similar to that of his throwing flying spear.
It was precisely with this ability that Zhang Tie became a respected "magic gunner" on this section of the city wall. Even Zhang Tie couldn't remember how many demonized puppets he had killed in the past few days.
For others, such a harvest is something to be happy about, but for Zhang Tie, such a harvest does not make much sense, but it has to be done because those demonized puppets were also humans during their lifetimes. Those killed here were not demons, but
It's just a larvae and eggs of the female demon puppet worm. A puppet worm can lay hundreds of thousands of such eggs in a day. However, the real demon army has not appeared until this time. Maybe for that
As for the demon army, the so-called demonized puppet army is just worthless and low-value consumables. The purpose of their existence is to serve as cannon fodder and to die. No matter how many people die, the demons will not feel bad.
Who among the people in Mog City would have known that the once-famous Eagle of Sernes would now be playing the role of a gunner on a small steam ballista.
The demonized puppet that rushed within 30 meters of the city wall entered the downward shooting blind spot of the steam ballista on the city wall. When it reached this position, it was the coverage area of the distributed strike weapons below. The entire city wall was densely covered with mechanisms.
Various defensive weapons are layered on top of each other. Almost none of the demonized puppets who rushed here can return alive after dropping the corpse they are holding. And those demonized puppets don't seem to want to go back alive.
The demonized puppets that are almost like sieves gather under the city wall and actively accumulate, allowing the mobile demonized puppets to start trying to climb up. As long as they get close to the city wall, the densely packed areas in the middle of the city wall
In the holes the size of eggs, rows of sharp steel guns operated by machinery will pierce out of the holes, then retract, pierce out, and retract again, repeating this action continuously, and constantly.
Crush the efforts and bodies of the demonized puppets.
Although the demonized puppets stepping on the corpses of their companions failed every time, every time, as the corpses became more tired and higher, the distance between the demonized puppets and the highest point of the city wall became closer and closer. After being overwhelmed by the dense corpses,
After it was completely blocked, the defensive weapons in the middle and lower sections of the city wall began to lose their effectiveness layer by layer.
Everyone knows that the real test of Mog City has not yet come, but it is not far away from that time.
As soon as he stayed at the gun position, Zhang Tie forgot about the time. At some point, in addition to the torches, the lens headlights on the city wall also lit up, illuminating the area within a hundred meters of the city wall.
, but the places farther away became blurred. Burning fire pots were thrown out from the city, burning in the open and dark areas outside the city, illuminating those dark places in order to provide space for them.
The city's shooting weapons provide sufficient light sources.
After the sky completely darkened, due to the cover of darkness, the accuracy of various weapons on the city wall began to decrease at long distances. The demonized puppets became more restless, and the density and frequency of attacks increased significantly. Those who were thrown
When incendiary bombs are launched outside the city, the demonized puppets will quickly extinguish the fire, causing the surrounding space to become completely dark.
In the darkness, the ferocious faces of the demonized puppets were like ghosts rushing out of the darkness, rushing toward Mog City.
Zhang Tie's dark vision allows him to maintain the same accuracy in the dark as during the day. Because the density of the demonized puppets' attack formation increases, in the dark, the lethality of the ballista operated by Zhang Tie increases instead of decreasing.
But on the entire city wall, there was only one person with Zhang Tie's ability. Therefore, the number of demonized puppets that rushed within 30 meters of the city wall began to increase significantly.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Tie only heard a bang in his ears, and then his face felt hot, and the firing of the S137's ballista suddenly stopped...
A place on the ballista emplacement suddenly exploded, and a piece of exploding metal fragments suddenly scratched Zhang Tie's face, leaving a wound as long as one finger long on Zhang Tie's left cheek...
"Ah, the high-pressure rifle of the S137 is broken. How could it be like this? Damn it..." The squad leader of the gun emplacement next to him, who had been replaced by the second shift, lay on the ground and looked under the gun mount. He yelled.
Several of the soldiers 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, and found that a pipe at the bottom of the gun base had been obviously damaged.
A stream of hot steam spurted out from inside...
"How is it? Can it be repaired?" Zhang Tie asked the squad leader...
"This is a key component on the gun position. Logically speaking, it should not be damaged at all. How could this happen? This thing can only be replaced, not repaired. To replace this thing, you need to move the entire turret. It will take at least three days at the fastest.
Can it be repaired?" The squad leader of the S137 gun position turned pale...
In the blink of an eye, there was another explosion from a ballista turret in the distance, and another ballista lay down...
