Chapter nine hundred and thirty fifth, the roaring artillery
"Damn! Rock cannon?!"
At that moment, Owen, who had already realized what had happened, cursed on the spot.
But then he realized something and quickly shook his head.
"Impossible. According to the power of normal stone cannons, it is impossible for one shot to destroy the armor plate of my armored vehicle!"
The rock-shooting cannon is obviously no stranger to players who have developed to the Black Iron level.
Based on their technical capabilities and the advantages of modern players, it is not difficult to create one.
It's just that they don't use it at all.
The accuracy and range are not as good as the three-bow crossbow, and the cost is extremely high.
Before it develops to the next stage, it is impossible for artillery to replace the three-bow crossbow on the battlefield.
However, the situation before Owen's eyes now is that the opponent has obviously used artillery.
And the power of that shot is simply amazing!
There is no time for Owen to think too much. The defenders of Gaoling City will not be kind enough to wait until the other side figures it out before continuing to take action!
At this moment, behind the city gate of Gaoling City, the muzzles of three cannons were all pointed in the direction of the city gate. The muzzle of the cannon on the far left was still smoking slightly. Apparently, the muzzle of the cannon was still slightly smoking.
One hit and it's a masterpiece.
Under normal circumstances, the power of the stone-shooting cannon certainly cannot reach this level.
It's just that the artillery research and development of civilizations in all worlds has already stepped into the field of "rifled guns".
But it may be due to technical ability or design issues.
The range and power are obviously far apart.
The effective range is about 350 meters, and the power of the artillery shells is still being adjusted. Coupled with the cost, there may be some research to completely replace the three-bow bed crossbow.
At the same time, it is precisely because of this range problem that they have not set the artillery on the wall as a defensive tool for the time being.
But when blocking the city gate, it unexpectedly came in handy.
The armored vehicle that rushed in at that time was only thirty or forty meters away from the muzzle of the artillery.
What is this concept?
It's basically the same as putting the muzzle of a cannon against your head and firing!
One can imagine how powerful the artillery attack at this distance is.
At the same time, from the front of the car that was completely destroyed by the cannon, Guo Zhen also discovered that there were actually soldiers hiding in the armored car!
Those soldiers were very unusual. They were all wearing silver-white full-body armor, and they were as armed as an iron barrel.
This kind of attire reminded Guo Zhen instantly of the elite troops of their civilization of all realms, the Xuanjia Army!
At this moment, Guo Zhen could be said to have reacted immediately.
There is a trick on the other side!
They hid a group of heavy armored infantry in an armored cart, and then asked ordinary soldiers to push the armored cart to break through the city gate and rush into the city.
At that time, as soon as the door of the armored car opened, a large number of heavily armed heavy infantrymen jumped out of the car. Faced with such a wave of unprepared attacks, with the strength of their troops near the city gate, they would probably be defeated by the other side.
.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhen also showed a hint of fear on his face.
Then he quickly shouted the order...
"Fire! Keep firing!!"
The three artillery pieces fired one after another in sequence. Amidst the roar of artillery fire, thermal weapons officially entered the battlefield of the era.
The bulky armored vehicle has no ability to evade artillery attacks. It is basically no different from the target placed there.
The thick armor plate could not provide any safety guarantee for the Europa heavy armored infantry inside in the face of flying artillery shells.
In the blink of an eye, they followed the footsteps of the first armored vehicle.
The heavy armored infantrymen of Europa who were hiding in the armored vehicles were blown away in a confused manner before they could even figure out what was going on.
Even if he was lucky enough to survive, facing such a close range bombardment, he would probably suffer a serious concussion.
At this moment, Owen felt that his whole heart was bleeding!
Let’s not talk about the armored vehicles. The heavy armored infantry inside, from weapons and equipment to daily training, were all purchased by him with money. They are also his trump card troops.
Before he could show any value, he fell under the cannon from the opposite side. This cruel reality made his whole mind confused for nearly a minute.
Then, there was an obvious hiss in his voice...
"Come in! Rush in quickly!!!"
In Gaoling City, after three cannons opened fire, there was only one armored vehicle left.
The armored vehicle was propelled by manpower. In the current situation, if you turned around and ran away, you would only become a target for the cannons from the opposite side.
Rushing in head-on and getting in front of the cannon before it fires the next round has a higher success rate!
Moreover, the losses have reached such an extent. If he doesn't take away the resources of a city and go back, can he swallow that breath?!
The Europa soldiers under Oven are obviously no strangers to hot weapons such as cannons.
After being startled by the attack from the opposite side, he was not completely disorganized like a native.
One by one, they rushed forward bravely, pushing the last armored car and rushing inside.
Guo Zhen, who was aware of the other party's intentions, would naturally not let them succeed.
"Quick, put down the city gate!"
There was no chance for the last armored car to rush in. The city gate crashed down, making Owen in the back almost so angry that he wanted to curse.
"No more armored vehicles, we all come down from above, set up ladders, and rush to the wall!!"
The closing of the city gate on the opposite side is equivalent to cutting off Owen's thoughts.
By the time it starts firing again, the cannon at the end of the city gate must have been cooled and reloaded again.
In other words, it is already a dead end.
But fortunately, he still has the advantage of strength. If he rushes to the top of the wall, his chances of winning are still high!
One ladder after another quickly went up.
Standing on the top of the wall, Du Yuanzhi, who was in charge of commanding the battle, saw this and quickly signaled a messenger soldier beside him to rush down to deliver the message, asking Guo Zhen to lead some soldiers back to the top of the wall to help!
This whole process will undoubtedly take a certain amount of time, and the rolling logs and pounding stones on the wall have already been consumed.
This resulted in the garrison on the wall being no longer able to effectively prevent the enemy Europa soldiers from advancing.
A large number of enemy soldiers began to rush up the wall. Du Yuanzhi, realizing that the situation was not good, quickly signaled the rear troops and goblin soldiers to escape from the wall area through the retreat stairs on the other side.
Naturally, the group of soldiers responsible for protecting Du Yuanzhi's safety would not let their helpless staff member stay on the wall and take risks, and escorted Du Yuanzhi all the way down.
This one and the other, the change of situation can only be said to be too fast.
By the time Guo Zhen led his infantry troops to rush back to the wall, the wall of Gaoling City had basically been destroyed in half.
A large number of invaders frantically slaughtered the soldiers under his command. Among them, the group at the front were the enemy's heavy armored infantry who armed themselves like iron barrels!
