The fight in the sky attracted the most attention due to its location, and the shouts of the chief of Dota and the performance of the ogres further boosted the morale of the coalition forces.
Downton frowned. This method of warfare was not what he wanted. It was too primitive. In his dream, he had seen a kind of artillery that could sink enemy troops from thousands of meters away.
Battleship.
Although the Krupp giant made a shotgun according to his description, it will face many problems after it is enlarged.
There are too many difficulties that need to be overcome in terms of the metal materials for making cannons, the forging process, and the engraving of runes. Fortunately, Downton has Krupp giants, black iron dwarves, and goblin engineers who are skilled in metallurgy and forging under his command, otherwise he would not be able to do it at all.
Dare to try.
The artillery was built, but it could not be mass-produced because after firing a few rounds, the barrel would be damaged, and there were countless incidents of chamber explosions.
The trouble doesn't stop there. The artillery is not loaded onto the battleship and can be used immediately. This kind of gunpowder weapon will produce a huge recoil. If the balance cannot be achieved, the battleship will be in danger of capsizing, and even if it is slightly
The shaking will also cause aiming errors and miss the target.
However, despite the difficulties, there is a need to study it, because this is an energy weapon that can also be used by ordinary people and does not limit the scope of magic users.
After seeing the experiment, Cheap God and Homer both said that this would be an epoch-making invention that would change the war situation on the continent. Di Lanxue also said that if the artillery was successfully manufactured, the era of magicians ruling the continent would be completely ended.
Many wise generals under Downton saw this and advised him to give up his research. Demonic users are a status symbol, but the invention of this kind of gunpowder weapon will greatly bring ordinary people and demons closer together.
The difference between capable people.
And the most critical point is that after the popularization of this kind of weapon, human beings, who have the largest population base, will become the overlord of the continent for generations.
The war that can be won by individual bravery no longer exists.
After all, Downton is a human being. Even if his subordinates are all indigenous soldiers, or even given the title of indigenous king, this fact cannot be changed.
No one wanted to see future generations being ruled by aliens, so Downton became a dictatorship, allocated huge sums of money, and insisted on the development of gunpowder weapons.
"Still confused?"
Rosicky asked.
"No!"
Downton shook his head, "The times are developing, and what determines the ownership of the continent should not be a certain weapon, but the will of life!"
Rosicky showed a smile. This is the thought that a leading figure in mainland China should have.
"With gunpowder weapons, those races that are naturally weak also have the capital to resist, not only against evil gods, but also against tyranny! Power! Dictatorship!"
Downton paused and murmured, "Only then will there be freedom!"
"It's decided, let's do it. Okay, the enemy's infantry is charging. Give the order quickly and suppress it."
Rosicky patted Downton on the shoulder.
Most of the commanders were panicking, fearful and overwhelmed by the overwhelming sea of demons. Only a few heard the conversation between Downton and Rosicky, with subtle expressions on their faces. Is this the difference between geniuses and mortals?
The signal flares rose into the sky. The messengers ran in the fortifications at the same time, conveying the attack orders.
"Hurry up!"
The centurions urged their subordinates. There was no mercy at this time. Anyone who moved too slowly would be immediately kicked.
The catapult position opened fire. The stone bombs were thrown out one after another. Because there were too many demons, there was no need to aim at them. Just hit them and there would be corpses everywhere.
Efficiency was too slow until the artillery from DeFrankfurt came on the scene.
It is said to be artillery, but in fact it uses catapults, but it is not the conventional ejection power of animal tendon tannins, but steam power.
Steam catapult, this is a blueprint presented by a goblin who surrendered to Downton.
Just as Abagong's ancestors were also rich, this one's ancestor was a senior engineer in the era of the hobgoblins. He had a lot of drawings hidden at home. Although a lot of them were lost due to age and decay, one drawing
The blueprint of the steam catapult is worth over 100 million gold coins.
This kind of catapult is larger than the traditional one and has a mechanical base, but it is very convenient to move because it is equipped with tires. The overall operation is also extremely simple, just turn the wrench. However, because it uses steam power,
Therefore, the boiler must be boiled in advance and watered continuously to cool it down, otherwise an explosion may occur.
Of course, this kind of catapult also has disadvantages, that is, as the steam decreases, the range will become shorter, and after the boiler overheats, it will take a long time to cool down.
If they were simply firing stone bombs, Downton would not install them, but after Krupp specially developed collision-type bombs, it was different.
On the side of the camp, a special artillery position was opened. At this time, two hundred steam catapults were lined up, which was simply domineering and exuding a strong mechanical quality.
Bang!
A tauren carrying a cannonball accidentally missed it, and the round cannonball rolled down from the net bag.
The entire position instantly became silent, and everyone froze in place as if they had cast petrification magic.
Cold sweat suddenly soaked my back.
After confirming that there was no explosion, the artillery chief rushed over and was given a fierce look.
"You're going to kill everyone!"
The artillery commander's heart is still stuck in his throat. There are many artillery shells piled nearby. If they explode, not to mention the artillery position, half of the camp will be blown into the sky.
After all the busy work, everything was ready, and the sight hand had already been set to bombard the various elements, waiting for the order to be issued.
Finally, the flag bearer raised the red flag and shouted the semaphore.
"Three consecutive shots, fire!"
The artillery chiefs roared, and the shooter pressed the wrench with all his strength.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Cannonballs flew out.
At this distance, the artillerymen could not see the effect. The only thing they could do was to continue loading according to their training.
After completing three consecutive shots in the shortest time, the shooter turns the iron wheel, adjusts the lever arm, lowers the elevation angle, and waits for the next shooting command.
The distances on the battlefield are all measured in advance. When the enemy enters, the attack will be immediate. Of course, if our own soldiers enter by mistake and are accidentally injured, there is nothing we can do.
"The defense over there is empty!"
A commander saw a flaw in the defense on the northwest side and screamed in fright, but before he could respond, he heard a deafening roar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cannonball landed on the demon corps that rushed into this area and exploded directly. The triangular iron pieces shot randomly with the powerful shock wave, tearing the demon's armor and embedding into the flesh.
Many demons were blown away with their flesh and blood flying everywhere, their limbs were broken, and thick smoke was rising.
The commanders looked astonished.
After the bombardment, everyone saw that the place had completely turned into a flesh and blood mill, with a thick layer of flesh and blood piled up on the ground.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
The commanders asked each other.
"Damn! These humans are so cunning, that seems to be the killing effect of goblin bombs!"
Ancelotti was furious, but he didn't take it to heart. Such attacks had too many disadvantages. As long as they rushed through the coverage area, they were useless.
"Let the cavalry take a circuitous route and attack that position."
Marshal An made the arrangements. No guesswork, he also knew that the catapult could only attack the frontal battlefield. Otherwise, why were there no enemy soldiers on this front?
"The demon's charge is faster than expected."
Downton sighed. After seeing the movement of the cavalry, he knew that the weakness of the catapult position was exposed. Not only that, every time he adjusted the shooting angle, it took a lot of time.
"Aerial bombing is the most convenient!"
Rosicky sighed with emotion and looked up to observe the aerial battlefield. The fighting was completely intense. There was nothing he could do. Although the Blade Tower Ogres were powerful in force, their numbers were several times smaller. Being able to suppress the enemy head-on was already an extremely outstanding performance.
In this battle on the Golden Gold Plains, on the frontal battlefield, the demons invested up to 600,000 troops. On the two flanks, there were 200,000 detours on each side. There were still as many as a million reserves left, and they attacked fiercely in this manner.
, even if the Downton Corps is powerful, it cannot survive.
"Changes have to be made!"
Rosicky urged.
The situation on the battlefield is already obvious. The demons are attacking on the frontal battlefield, exerting high pressure, and allowing the two wings to gain the upper hand. Once they break through, they will be surrounded and killed.
The Golden Plains is still not vast enough, otherwise the forces that can be deployed in the Doomsday of Hell will be more, which is why people chose this place for the battle.
It's not that it can't be defeated, it's that you don't have the opportunity.
"This is so shameless!"
The commanders' hearts were filled with chills. This tactic would cause too many casualties, but for the devil, death was the most insignificant thing.
"Let the bombing brigade be dispatched to destroy the enemy's mage group."
Downton lost his trump card and made a desperate move.
The ten warships that were originally cruising behind immediately accelerated and headed straight for the enemy formation, accompanied by a giant frost dragon as escort.
The Firebird and the Twin Angels also took off.
"Haha, the other party can't wait any longer. Send the order for the Doomsday Deathwing to move out!"
Ancelotti laughed and released the strongest trump card in his hand.
The Winged Balrogs rode into the sky on two-headed pterosaurs. They were not many in number, only a thousand, but they were definitely the elite among the elite. You must know that the Winged Balrogs were high-ranking demons with two wings on their backs, and
The racial talent is Vicious Brimstone Aura.
Within a radiation range of three hundred yards, the temperature is high, scorching everything, and emitting sulfur poisonous gas. They can also use their blood to summon Balrogs that are purely condensed with fire elements to burn everything.
This is Ancelotti's Guards, the strongest unit at the end of hell. Their appearance represents the arrival of the decisive battle.
A group of flying monsters also rushed forward to intercept the frost dragons. The pterosaurs relied on their high-speed maneuverability to quickly approach.
A low chant sounded, and the winged flame demon cast a spell, and flame bombs the size of coconuts hit the battleship.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Some fire bombs hit the deck and sparks exploded.
A winged flame demon captain passed by the right side of the battleship, grinning ferociously, and was about to throw the fire ball in his hand. As long as he threw it onto the battleship, it would not only explode, but it would also spontaneously form a summoning array, summoning an eight-foot-long fireball from the abyss.
A meter high servant of the Balrog.
Anyone who has been climbed on a battleship by this elemental creature, even on his knees, knows what the result will be. (To be continued.)
