Chapter 628 The Conspiracy of the Golden Eagle Country
Iron Skull's artillery was finally ready, with eight cannons loaded and four cannons ready for battle, quietly waiting for Iron Skull's orders.
Tianying City also has an artillery piece, which is supported by the White Tower Kingdom, and it also has forty artillery shells.
But Horno was reluctant to take it out. He didn't want to spend all his wealth before getting help from Reggie.
The Rock Demon Giant was approaching step by step, and Iron Skull's eyes were shining. The Golden Eagle soldiers were a little confused, some were loading trebuchets, and some were searching for the few remaining black powder bombs. An iron barrel bomb rolled to the feet of the artillery.
a gold
The Eagle Soldier held a torch and chased after him. Iron Skull kicked the soldier over and asked him to throw the bomb aside. He turned to Emperor Horno and said, "If your people dare to get close to my artillery again, I will kill you."
I'll chop him into pieces."
Emperor Horno couldn't hear Iron Skull's warning at all. He was using his remaining will to support his body. Because his vision was blurred, he couldn't see the giant's appearance clearly, but the huge footsteps made his heart hurt violently.
.
There was only one giant, and it was still a thousand feet away from the city wall. The city began to shake. The giant that came this time was much bigger than before. The wall of Tianying City was sixty feet high. Judging from his body shape, the giant could reach it with just one tiptoe.
Met the city head.
There were still eight hundred feet of distance left, and Iron Skull still did not give the order to attack. Horno was speechless, and Perrine shouted: "What are you waiting for?"
There were still 600 feet left, and the defenders at the top of the city were already in a mess. The black powder bombs were completely ineffective against the giants. The bullets hit the rocks and could only throw up a trace of dust.
It seems that nothing can stop this terrifying monster. He easily kicked away the body of the rock demon and strode closer to the city wall.
With five hundred feet left, Iron Skull finally gave the order to attack.
The eight cannons fired at once. At this distance, none of the shells missed, and all hit the giant. After the hit, the warhead exploded a second time. The giant's arms were blown off, his chest was blown to pieces, and his head was blown off.
, but did not fall to the ground.
It stood still on the ground for more than ten seconds, and then continued to advance towards the city. Emperor Horno almost fainted, and Perion shouted desperately: "Your weapon is not working!"
Iron Skull ordered to continue firing. The firing interval of the first-generation artillery was one hundred breaths (about five minutes), and the firing interval of the second-generation artillery was nine breaths (thirty seconds). The giant had just taken the first step.
The shells came one after another.
After the second round of shelling, the giant's legs were blown off and his torso was blown into rubble.
Iron Skull sneered, put tobacco leaves into the pipe again, and said with contempt: "Is that all you have?"
Horno held a breath in his chest and almost swallowed it. When he breathed out with difficulty, he was about to let out a sigh of praise when he heard the giant's footsteps sounded again.
The four giants rushed over at the same time. Horno pointed into the distance, looked at Iron Skull, and opened his mouth but could not speak.
Iron Skull chewed his pipe, half-lying on the seat, and said to the soldier: "Waiting for orders."
…
After the fourth-generation artillery fired sixty times in a row, it needed to cool down for fifteen minutes. During this period, the four artillery pieces prepared for battle would take on the task of attacking. The battle lasted for a whole afternoon, and thirty rock demon giants fell one after another.
At the foot of the city.
Through the telescope, Iron Skull saw very clearly that there was mud crawling on the giant's body. This was the mud demon that Reggie was most afraid of. Iron Skull called the recorder and asked him to carefully record the characteristics of the mud demon's actions.
At dusk, the demon's offensive stopped. Emperor Horno rested in the tower for an hour and finally regained some strength.
He asked Perion to invite Iron Skull to dinner, but Iron Skull refused. Horno did not force him, and summoned his artillery captain into the palace.
"Their artillery seems to be different from ours."
The artillery captain said: "The place where the artillery shells are loaded is a little different, but there is nothing special about it."
Horno said: "In other words, do you know how to use this kind of artillery?"
"Their artillery is simpler than ours. As long as you give me one day, I can teach all the artillerymen."
"Well done," Emperor Horno said with a wisp of beard. "How long have you been in the army?"
"Eleven years."
"It's time for an outstanding warrior like you to become a knight."
…
The next day, the Rock Demons did not launch an attack. According to the sentry report, their military camp retreated thirty miles.
Horno asked Tie Shou to go out of the city to counterattack. Tie Shou shook his head and said: "There is a flat land outside the city, which is not suitable for artillery operations. If you want me to leave the city, your soldiers must take the lead in exploring the way."
Perion gritted his teeth and said, "Are the lives of soldiers not as precious as your weapons?"
"Without our weapons, your soldiers will become as cheap as weeds!"
Facing his former captives, Tie Shou showed no mercy, and every word he spoke made the prince lose face.
Seeing his son being humiliated repeatedly, Horno didn't mind. Instead, he said with a smile on his face: "I was a little reckless. Yesterday's battle was very fierce. Our soldiers all need to rest. I will let the sentries continue to investigate the enemy's situation.
Please take your soldiers to the inner city to rest."
Iron Skull said thank you and was about to leave with the soldiers when he heard Perion shout again: "Lend us your airship. We want to detect the enemy camp from the air."
"I'm afraid not," Iron Skull shook his head again, "This airship cannot be used for combat, and it cannot be lent to anyone."
"Why?"
"Why do you have so many questions?"
Horno sighed and said: "It seems that Emperor Suixue still has a deep misunderstanding of us."
Tie Shou put away his smile and said with a serious face: "We are envoys from Tianxing Kingdom, don't let our misunderstanding get deeper."
Arriving at the inner city of Aquila City, Iron Skull and his warriors were placed in a manor. Horno had people send him wine, food and beautiful girls, but these gifts were all returned intact.
Do not eat food from the Golden Eagle Kingdom, do not drink the wine of the Golden Eagle Kingdom, and do not sleep with the women of the Golden Eagle Kingdom. This is the iron rule that Iron Head made when he left. The airship will deliver food to the soldiers, and the warships docked at the port will return food.
A large amount of supplies are stored.
Iron Skull was not afraid that the soldiers would starve. He was worried that the Golden Eagle people were cheating. But even though he was well prepared, what he worried about still happened.
After resting for a day in the manor, at dawn the next day, the soldiers found that the door of the manor was locked. An official stood outside the door and shouted: "General Iron Skull, the benevolent Golden Eagle Emperor hopes you will rest for a few more days!"
"Viscount Diachto?" Iron Skull heard the other party's voice, "I didn't expect you to be still alive."
"It's not easy to live, and Snowbreaker knows how to cherish life best." Diachto waved his hand, and dozens of musketeers blocked the door. "If you rest for a few more days, Emperor Horno will let you go soon."
