The charging servants were not much better. They did know more about human weapons than the noble army, but they only knew a little bit more about them, and no one knew at all that it was a large number of steel balls added to the cannonballs.
In a dazed moment, several more artillery shells fell on the heads of the noble army, immediately clearing a large area of the noble army's front line. Another deflected artillery shell fell behind the front line, and immediately stopped the charging wave.
As for the servants who were fighting and suddenly discovered that the enemy in front was dead and wounded, few of them could still stand up.
Faced with this situation, Ye Han and others who were watching were also stunned, but they quickly figured out the reason.
Nothing else, it's an environmental issue.
A 120mm high-explosive mortar shell has a mass of about 16 kilograms, contains about 4 kilograms of explosives, and the explosion's power range can reach 1,000 square meters!
The above is the explosion data on the earth, but what about Ganymede?
The gravity here is less than one-sixth of the Earth's, and the atmosphere is thin with almost no air resistance. The steel balls flying away from the explosion can fly faster and further. It is obviously just the most ordinary 120-meter shell, but it has the effect of a heavy cannon.
One shell flattened half of the football field, and the explosion effect alone was simply insane.
However, although the area covered was large, there were fewer deaths and more injuries, and most of the noble troops who fell to the ground still maintained their combat effectiveness.
However, a large number of artillery shells hit the heads of the noble soldiers. Each shell leveled at least half of the football field. Countless steel balls ravaged the battlefield. The steel balls covered the front line over and over again. As long as they were still within the range of the power of the artillery shells, they were inevitable.
Covered by steel balls, no matter dead or injured, they were repeatedly penetrated by steel balls during the continuous bombardment. Minor injuries immediately turned into serious injuries, and serious injuries were fatal in an instant. The killing effect was extremely good.
In fact, the range of power of each cannonball is larger than the area of a football field, but the charging aristocrats are densely packed and crowded, and the servants are covered with thick carapace. Various reasons weaken the power of the explosion.
It creates the illusion that it can only blow up half a football field.
After the first two waves of artillery shells cleared away the standing noble troops, the power of the remaining artillery shells was fully realized. The greatly expanded strike range was beyond the expectations of both the enemy and ourselves. Many servants rushing at the front were hit by steel balls inexplicably.
He will be a fool until the day he dies.
The effect of the bombardment was unexpectedly good. The servants immediately seized this rare opportunity. Countless servants rushed out from behind the battleship and rushed towards the noble army at the fastest speed in their lives.
Ye Han also saw the opportunity and promptly ordered the artillery fire to extend to the rear of the noble army, and ordered the troops to disperse the impact points as much as possible to maximize the lethality of the artillery shells.
Although the noble army tried its best to maintain the front line and caused heavy casualties to the servants, with the cooperation of artillery fire and the servants, the defense line of the noble army still inevitably collapsed.
The noble army did not show any weakness, controlling the light bugs to fire violently at the incoming servants. Every thin beam of light swept over could knock down all the servants on a fan.
The charging servants immediately changed their tactics. Some jumped forward and lay on the ground, crawling with their whole bodies pressed tightly to the ground; some jumped high and low, constantly using the terrain to protect themselves; some moved left and right, sprinting in short distances.
Ways to avoid the thin light.
There is no way to avoid the thin light 100%, but there are always servants who are lucky enough to avoid the crosscutting of the thin light.
This situation continued until the cannonball hit the lightworm's head.
The power of the steel balls was limited and could not penetrate the shell of the light bugs, but the servants who controlled the light bugs did not have such strong shells. Several shells exploded in the air about five meters in a row. The nearby noble troops fell under the steel balls one after another.
The number of lights was immediately reduced by more than half, and the pressure on the entire front was lightened.
The servants took the opportunity to charge, and a large group of servants arrived a moment later. They killed the remaining noble troops with a burst of gunfire, and naturally took over hundreds of light bugs... These light bugs should be the resistance organization's first attack on Ganymede.
A batch of harvest!
The lightworm is just a kind of bug and has no ability to distinguish between friend and foe. In other words, the lightworm is just a living weapon. When to fire and in which direction to fire are decided by the servants who control the lightworm.
Taking over this batch of light bugs is equivalent to seizing a batch of heavy artillery, and it is also equivalent to adding a batch of heavy firepower to the servants. The servants in front immediately control the light bugs to turn, and hundreds of light bugs aim at the following noble army.
A thin light from above suddenly swept across thousands of troops, sweeping countless noble troops to the ground.
The noble army that followed was in bad luck. More than half of them were killed by a thin beam of light. The light bug's originally round belly lost a lot of weight. If it was fat at the beginning, now it is at most slightly fat.
Luo Qi, who witnessed this scene from behind, was dumbfounded: "I'll go, how did this insect lose weight so fast?"
Ye Han twitched his lips: "Where do you think the thin light comes from?"
Luo Qi was startled: "You mean energy conversion, converting stored fat into fine light energy? Impossible?" He had learned little, but he knew what conservation of energy was.
Ye Han corrected: "It's not the conversion of fat, but the mixing of chemical substances. What is stored in the belly of the lightworm is not fat, but two kinds of chemical substances. They are usually divided into two sacs and stored in the stomach. When used, they are squeezed into a reaction chamber.
Inside, it can release energy and emit fine light, and the emission process is similar to that of a chemical laser."
"Is there such a thing?" Luo Qi's eyes widened in surprise, "There is a laser in your butt, this is so amazing!"
Ye Han rolled his eyes: "What a miracle, light bugs are artificial creatures, okay? Also, that thing is called a light emitter, it's under the belly, not in the butt!"
Luo Qi smiled awkwardly: "Hey, I thought that thing was growing in my butt!"
Ye Han shook his head helplessly and did not go further.
This matter is not a secret to high-level human beings, but to ordinary people and middle- and lower-level military officers, it is an out-and-out military secret.
Speaking of light bugs, we have to start with the Maple City incident in 2026. At that time, the military seized several dilapidated alien battleships and found a fine light-generating device from the wreckage of the battleship. The military named this set of equipment
Fine light generator.
Research has found that this thing is very similar to a chemical laser. As long as a specific chemical substance is fed into the reaction chamber, a thin beam of light with extremely strong cutting power can be produced. From a human point of view, this thing is a relatively special kind of laser.
Laser weapons.
These two chemical substances were also found in the wreckage of the battleship. They were small in quantity but contained high energy.
In order to study the characteristics of fine light in depth, the military conducted a large number of experiments, and it didn't take long for the seized chemicals to be used in various ways.
