Winter is here in the blink of an eye, and the snow falls earlier than usual this year.

Early the next morning after the first snowfall in the middle of the night, the first wave of undead monsters arrived as expected.

Woo——

The sound of the trumpet spread across the northern sky, and the People's Army immediately launched operations according to the plan and climbed onto the northern city wall to prepare to meet the enemy.

On the city wall, Bray held up his telescope and clearly saw a large group of black shadows appearing on the distant skyline.

Taking it off and taking a look at the telescope in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh: "This thing is really convenient."

Viscount Jarvis also put down his telescope and said confidently: "The first wave of undead monsters is not large in scale. You Templars may not have a chance to take action today."

"Oh?" Bray raised his eyebrows, "Viscount Jarvis means that you can kill all the undead monsters before they rush to the city wall?"

"That's right."

According to previous discussions between the two parties, to deal with the undead monsters this winter, the People's Army will be responsible for long-range firepower output, while the Templars will be mainly responsible for killing the undead monsters that climb the city walls and protecting the soldiers.

Under Blue's command, the artillerymen quickly loaded the cannonballs from behind, adjusted the cannon's firing angle, and pointed the muzzle at the direction of the undead monster's attack.

"Fire!" Blue ordered.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this order, Bray looked surprised and turned to ask Viscount Jarvis: "Did you fire so early? The undead monster is at least 2,500 meters away from here!"

In his memory, the cannon used in Border Guard Town last year had to wait until the undead monster came within a thousand meters before it could attack.

The shape of the current cannon is different from the one we saw last year. Even if it is updated, it is impossible to increase the range so much at once, right?

"Actually, we can hit further, so just watch it quietly."

Viscount Jarvis did not look back and continued to look north with his telescope.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of cannon fire rang out, and four heavy cannons fired a shell one after another.

When undead monsters invade the south in winter, hundreds or more of them gather together and attack in waves. This is a very good and huge moving target.

Four cannonballs landed among the undead monsters, and exploded instantly with a bang. Countless undead monsters were blown to pieces, and large balls of flames and black smoke rose into the air.

This is the power of the howitzer, and the effect looks pretty good.

Seeing this scene, Bray was stunned and turned his head to look at Viscount Jarvis. He wanted to say something but could not.

"How's it going?" Viscount Jarvis asked proudly, "Isn't our new artillery very powerful?"

After nodding twice, Bray found that he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

In just one year, the military strength of Border Guard Town has improved so astonishingly. It is truly terrifying. It may have the ability to sweep across the entire continent.

After firing the shell, the artilleryman opened the metal breech, ejected the large shell, and loaded the next shell, this time with a live shell.

After all, the number of howitzer shells is limited, so it can only be used on the first shot that can kill the most undead monsters.

Boom! The second round of shelling soon began.

Compared with the first round of howitzers, the live ammunition shells will not explode and the visual effect is not intense. Fortunately, the enemies are relatively concentrated and each shell can smash the bodies of some undead monsters.

On the other side, there was a heavy machine gun standing in the middle of the city wall. The newly appointed machine gunner was holding the double grip, and there was a machine gun mate holding an ammunition chain.

The two were always on standby, ready to shoot at any time.

When the group of undead monsters entered the effective range of the heavy machine gun, the undead monsters in front were hit a little faintly by the shells, while the undead monsters behind continued to surge forward.

After receiving the order to fire, the machine gunner immediately adjusted the direction of the muzzle, pointed it at the undead monster, and pressed the trigger.

Chu tu tu tu——

A series of bullets flew out, the rate of fire was particularly astonishing, faster than the bolt-action rifles equipped by ordinary soldiers. The bullet cases were spat out from the opening on the left side and fell to the ground with a clatter.

The machine gun mate on the side carries the ammunition chain and feeds it to the heavy machine gun to ensure a smooth shooting process.

Of course, the machine gunner does not shoot blindly. He shoots with short bursts where the number of undead monsters is small, and with long shots where there are many.

Most of the recoil force was absorbed by the gun frame, and the shock of the heavy machine gun was not severe.

"There is actually such a musket?!"

Bray opened his mouth in shock again. With such a terrifying rate of fire, if he fired at the enemy, a large number of them would probably fall down instantly.

This feeling of shooting with a gun must be very good, he guessed.

"This is a heavy machine gun, a new type of gun designed by Marquis Eisen."

In response, Viscount Jarvis grinned and explained: "Although the firepower is powerful, it has a shortcoming - it is a waste of bullets."

As soon as he finished speaking, the machine gunner finished shooting a box of bullets, which was a full three hundred rounds of ammunition. It took just over a minute to finish shooting, but it took an hour for manpower to load a box of bullets.

If someone else's hard work for an hour is finished in one minute, the logistics staff will probably be so angry that they will curse.

However, it actually doesn't matter now.

Because after Owen manufactured the light bulb, he immediately equipped the military factory with power generation facilities and lighting systems.

Later, on the pretext of resisting undead monsters, the border town was declared to be in a state of war preparation, a large number of new workers were recruited to work in the factory, and a three-shift production system was implemented. Bullet production increased instantly.

Since there were not many undead monsters left, Viscount Jarvis did not ask the machine gun deputy to retrieve the ammunition chain box and come back to load and shoot. Instead, he ordered all the soldiers to prepare to fire.

Seeing the undead monsters entering the shooting range of the bolt-action rifle, Viscount Jarvis loudly ordered: "Free fire! Destroy all undead monsters!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The soldiers on the city wall aimed at the undead monsters and pulled the triggers.

It has to be said that the new bullets replaced with smokeless gunpowder are used in combination with bolt-action rifles, which greatly improves the range and ensures accuracy.

Under the rain of bullets caused by the soldiers' continuous shooting, the remaining undead monsters fell one after another, and the last few were killed by snipers with precise headshots.

Just when everyone thought the battle was over, several large undead monsters appeared in the distance, all of which were carrion boars.

Upon seeing this, the artillerymen quickly adjusted their firing angle and fired the loaded live shells.

As long as it can hit, the carrion boar's body will be torn apart on the spot, making it impossible to continue attacking.

When he was still a few hundred meters away from the city wall, Maddie aimed at the head of the last carrion boar and pulled the trigger.

The moment the magic core was destroyed, the corpse boar stiffened and fell down.

"Killed!" Observer Izzy shouted happily, "Maddie, you shot a total of eight undead monsters and one large undead monster today."

During the entire battle today, he was counting.

"There are not even ten of them."

McGrady looked regretful and touched the new sniper rifle in his hand. Like other soldiers, it was a bolt-action rifle with a scope mounted on it.

"Sigh - I feel really bad today."

"Being able to kill nine is already impressive!"

Hearing this, Izzy couldn't help but widen her eyes and said in surprise: "There are so many people and I haven't even killed one of them!"

"No." McGrady shook his head, "I must have higher demands on myself, otherwise I will be sorry for the title of 'Best Sniper' given to me by the lord."

The battle ended quickly, no one was injured, and the People's Army prepared to go down the city wall to clean the battlefield.

Seeing how energetic these soldiers were, Bray felt a little lonely. The Templars were really of no use at all.

"Don't be so discouraged."

At this time, Viscount Jarvis came over and patted Bray on the shoulder, saying: "When the attack scale of the undead monsters becomes larger in the later stage, you will still have a chance to play."
Chapter completed!
