The first thousand two hundred and fifty-eight chapters
Chapter 1,258 Response
As their respective trebuchets adjusted and fired directly, unlike the previous wave of bullets, this time the scattered bullets flew individually, each with their own purpose, flying across the void directly towards the outside of the city.
"careful."
Seeing the rain of bullets flying, a flash of fear flashed in the eyes of the soldiers in the front row, but just as they were waiting for the rain of bullets to fall, they saw shotguns flying over their heads and toward the rear.
"Snapped."
"Peng."
"Peng."
The scattered bullets fell, and the Kushan Empire's trebuchet positions were scattered everywhere. More than half of the trebuchets were directly smashed into pieces. The soldiers next to the trebuchets were also killed and injured. It was terrible to see.
Seeing the enemy's precision-guided shotguns, the remaining trebuchet soldiers immediately collapsed. They knew that since the enemy was able to destroy so many trebuchets in the first wave, it would be their turn to die next time.
Seeing the soldier in charge of the trebuchet collapse and flee, Zierhardt became angry instantly. He had issued a military order, and he would lose his head if he could not capture Japan.
"In the Military Law Corps, anyone who dares to retreat in fear of battle will be killed without mercy."
"yes."
After hearing Kirhart's order, the military law team rushed out directly, slashed out a sword, and beheaded all the soldiers who retreated.
For a time, heads were rolling and blood was everywhere.
Seeing this, the retreating soldiers immediately turned around, returned to the trebuchet position, and began to operate the trebuchet team's city wall to launch an attack.
The boulders were smashed randomly, making the city wall of the city jingle. There were also stones falling on the city wall, causing a certain amount of damage.
"Car No. 5, the distance and orientation remain unchanged, but the strength is reduced by 3."
"Car No. 10, the distance and direction remain unchanged, and the strength increases by 2."
"Car No. 12, the distance and direction remain unchanged, and the strength increases by 1."
The first wave of trebuchets achieved remarkable results. The gunners of those trebuchets that missed the target looked at the impact points of the shotguns and began to direct the trebuchets to make fine adjustments.
"put."
At the command, the trebuchet fired again, with the same smell as before. Countless shotguns flew out as if they had eyes, and hit the predetermined place.
The trebuchet was torn apart in an instant, mixed with the screams of the soldiers. The long-range support weapons of the Kushan Empire were all destroyed in just two volleys. Eighty percent of the soldiers in charge of the trebuchet were dead.
, people died in battle.
"General, all the trebuchets have been destroyed."
Soon the captain from the front line came to Kirhart and reported the tragic news to him.
"I've seen it. Let the surviving soldiers retreat temporarily and force their way in without the trebuchet. Anyway, it's better than nothing and is used to attract firepower."
Kirhart didn't have much to say. He didn't originally expect the trebuchet to be of any great use, because these things were nothing compared to the opponent. Now that they were destroyed, they were destroyed.
"As commanded."
After Kirhart's order was issued, the trebuchet troops instantly woke up from their confusion, and then retreated wailing.
The trebuchet was gone, but the war continued. The soldiers of the Kushan Empire did not stop and continued to attack.
Passing through the death zone, more than 100,000 soldiers of the Kushan Empire set up ladders on the city wall like ants, and then started to climb up with steel knives in their teeth.
"Archers, shoot."
"Rolling logs and rocks, let go."
"Golden juice, is it boiling?
When it's done, pour it for me."
Orders were issued one by one, and everything on the city wall was in order. They were already familiar with these things, and they did not need to command at all. These soldiers were like machines, repeating the work in their hands precisely and tirelessly.
"Reload with heavy ammunition, ignore the soldiers, and attack those trucks first."
The infantry siege will not do much damage to the Japanese city, but if those carriages come up, things will be very serious. Therefore, Gao Shun now no longer cares about the effective forces that can kill the enemy, and can only attack the fifty carriages first.
"Car No. 1, distance 370, bearing 14, speed 3."
"Car No. 2, distance 377, bearing 17, speed 4."
"Car No. 3, distance 368, bearing 15, speed 3."
After hearing Gao Shun's order for the trebuchet to attack the truck, the school artillery officer directly reported the position, distance and speed of the truck. As for the rest, it was up to the trebuchet controllers to figure out how to predict the rest.
.
"put."
As their respective trebuchets were prepared, heavy stone bullets soared into the sky, streaking through the void and hitting the building and cart.
There was a series of loud crackling noises, and an erection truck was directly smashed into pieces by heavy bullets. The archer on the top of the erection truck was instantly turned into a pile of rotten flesh.
The first attack by the trebuchet was very effective, knocking out ten carts. However, the enemy's forty carts still did not stop and continued to attack.
"General, this is not a good idea. The enemy's trebuchet is surprisingly accurate. What should I do?"
General Brado came to Kirhart and saw that the erection truck was smashed into pieces. He couldn't help but tremble. He could imagine what the consequences would be if a heavy bomb really hit a person.
"what can I do?
Their trebuchets seem to have eyes. Could it be that they can be blinded by them?"
Kirhart was also angry for a moment. He didn't know what to do now. If the enemy's trebuchet only fired shotguns, the cart would be wrapped in cooked cowhide, so even powerful shotguns would be able to withstand it.
But now people have replaced heavy bullets. These stone bullets weigh at least hundreds of kilograms. If they hit the building, the car will be scrapped.
If this alone was fine, the most disgusting thing was that their hit rate was so high, which he couldn't accept.
"General, if you want to blind the enemy's trebuchets, I may not be able to do anything, but if you want to prevent them from hitting the towers, I have some ideas."
Just when everyone was worried, a guard beside him spoke directly to Kirhart.
Although this personal guard is not very old, his eyes are round and round, and he is a smart person at first glance.
"Delmo, if you have anything to say, just say it. If it's useful, I'll give you two beauties as a gift when I get back."
When Zierhardt looked at the man, he smiled slightly. This boy was extremely smart. He had specially selected him from below. However, he had one shortcoming: he was lustful. Most of his military salary was used for prostitution.
But in Kirhart's view, these flaws are nothing at all. Even a saint cannot avoid sex, let alone a vigorous young man.
"I don't want beautiful women. If the general is considerate of me, give me more money. I want to be a murderer of a thousand people. How can I hang myself on two people?"
Delmo glanced at Kirhart, his eyes full of smiles.
"Okay, then I'll reward you with a hundred gold, which will be enough for you to live happily for a while."
The more Delmo said this, the more excited Kirhart became, because this kid must have discovered something, otherwise he would not bargain with him.
"General, if the enemy's trebuchet wants to hit our truck, it must not only calculate the direction and strength, but also the most critical issue, which is the speed of the trebuchet.
Only when they have calculated everything can they directly hit the building, which is like shooting a goose with a bow.
Although we can't change anything about the enemy, we can control our own speed. As long as we make our speed unpredictable, they won't be able to predict it, and it won't be that easy to hit a building or a car."
Delmo glanced at Kirhart. His idea couldn't be simpler. As long as the speed of the truck was changed, it would be impossible for them to attack the truck through prejudgment.
"General, I think Delmo's move is feasible."
After hearing Delmo's words, Brado's eyes also lit up. Why didn't he think of such a simple method?
"You boy, I have you. Immediately tell the truck not to move forward at a constant speed but to change speed."
Kirhart also nodded. Sometimes simple countermeasures are the most useful method. Since you can't change the opponent, you just need to change your own speed.
Before Kirhart's order was issued, the second stone bomb from the trebuchet was not effective this time. It only destroyed eight buildings and carts, leaving scattered wreckage and smashed corpses all over the ground.
"The general has given the order, and the carriages will move at a different speed to avoid the enemy's trebuchets."
Soon Kirhart's order was passed to the Lou Che group. After receiving this order, the Lou Ches also understood the spirit. Since they can't change the other party, they can just change their own speed of action so that the other party can't figure it out.
Soon the trucks began to move at different speeds, pushing hard for a while, slowing down for a while, and then stopping again. The school gunners were a little confused. The enemy's speed couldn't be determined, so the trebuchet couldn't move according to the speed.
Pre-shoot at their speed.
"General, there is a situation."
Soon the captain in charge of school shooting came directly to Wu Yi.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Yi looked at the captain, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Now that the captain is coming, he must be up to no good.
"General, look at those luxury cars."
The captain pointed directly at Wu Yi and pointed at the moving carriages and spoke to him.
"Um?
Are they changing gears?”
Wu Yi took a look and immediately saw the problem, and blurted out to ask the other party.
"Yes, they may have noticed the elements of our attack on the building truck, so they changed the direction. If they cannot predict the opponent's traveling speed, then pre-shooting is out of the question."
The captain nodded to Wu Yi, that's what he meant. Now there is no way to talk about pre-shooting. What to do next is no longer up to him.
"Replace with shotguns, use kerosene bombs, and hit them with me."
Since heavy bombs can no longer be used, shotguns can only be used, but the power of shotguns is obviously not enough, so kerosene bombs can only be used to deal with it.
"General, we don't have many kerosene bombs in stock. We only have enough for one salvo. If they are used, they will be gone."
Hearing that Wu Yi was going to use kerosene bombs, the captain was slightly startled. Although they had a lot of heavy bombs and shotguns, kerosene bombs were special ammunition, so they didn't prepare many.
Thirty trebuchets can only fire one salvo at most. If they are used now, they will be needed later, but they will be gone.
"It's okay. Just do as I say. Any responsibility is entirely mine. Go ahead."
Wu Yi glanced at the captain and directly ordered him to do as he said.
"promise."
Since Wu Yi insisted on doing this, the captain had nothing to say and simply accepted the order with clasped fists.
Following the captain's order, a huge red flag appeared on the top of the city.
"Replace with kerosene ammunition."
Seeing the flag on the top of the city, the trebuchet man immediately ordered the trebuchet to be loaded with kerosene bullets.
Boxes of kerosene ammunition wrapped in oil paper were pushed out, the oil seals were removed, and they were slowly placed on top of the ammunition bags.
"ignition."
"put."
The torches ignited the kerosene bombs one after another, and then the machine was struck, and a red fire cloud crossed the city wall and flew towards the outside of the city.
Seeing the flaming clouds in front of them, the soldiers of the Kushan Empire were all stunned. If it was just scattered bullets, they were already used to it, but the current scene was like a meteor falling from the sky, which was indeed beyond their imagination.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
When the fire bombs fell, they immediately set off a sea of fire. Although the outside of the trailer was decorated with cooked cowhide, it was not made of iron after all. When encountering kerosene, the shells and bullets were directly ignited.
