Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

"Sipasi, the fog from the true god Ankabal has made the heathen's artillery completely useless! Victory will definitely belong to us, hurry up!" Jihangir shouted.

What responded to him was one after another of frenzied shouts. The sound of 3000 people stepping on the ground suddenly became dense.

The well-trained Sipasi cavalry is indeed not comparable to the previous cannon fodder troops.Even in the process of running forward, they realized the change according to the plan made before the war.On the gradually narrowing battlefield, the original scattered large horizontal formations turned into small square formations.

However, after the distance from the Crusader fortress was shortened to 300 meters, the battle situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Bang!

A somewhat dull sound came from the Crusader fortress.It was neither a cannon nor a musket, but the enemy's coach, the magic firearm with a unique shape in the hands of the Serisian, and the sound of firing.

The Mulholland army has seen Mayouf's revolver grenade launcher many times before.It's just that the opponent is only using it to launch flares to guide the artillery to hit the target, so it hasn't been taken too seriously.

This time, it was the same situation.

A rifle grenade with a white trail flew into the air about 100 meters away and exploded suddenly, releasing a ball of brilliant white light, like fireworks at a festival.Only this time, the effect of the flares in the thick fog was compromised.Even under the light, the Crusader artillery could only see faintly visible black squares advancing slowly in the open space in front of the fort.

Then, the battle mages threw the stones with the light spell down the city wall, and provided some lighting, so that the artillerymen could see more clearly.

Although the gunners still can't choose the most suitable design target to maximize the lethality of the artillery, but in this case, they can't be picky.

Accompanied by continuous cannon fire, sharp whistling sounds hit the Sipasi cavalry.

When Jihangir heard the screeching sound, his expression changed immediately, and he said badly in secret.

This is clearly the sound of solid shells rubbing against air!

He had just realized that something was wrong when a phalanx of Sipasi cavalry in the front left was hit by a [-]-pound iron shell.The thick wooden boards that can effectively reduce the destructive power of grape bullets are useless in front of this kind of solid shells.

Amidst the sawdust flying, the cannonball shot obliquely into the target, brought up a piece of broken limbs and broken arms in the dense crowd, rolled down to the distance amidst the miserable howls, and finally came to the foot of Jihangir with a grunt. side.

The Sipasi cavalry commander stepped on the cannonball and stopped it, and found that the still steaming cannonball was already covered with blood and minced flesh.

The only good news is that although the phalanx suffered heavy losses and lost more than half of its staff, it did not lose its will to fight.

Because those Sipasi elite cavalry in the phalanx who drank the red hash were not affected by the death of their comrades in the slightest, while other attendants who were afraid of death could only bite the bullet and continue without their master retreating. fight.

Mulholland's army was able to change tactics based on the Crusaders' artillery use, and the Crusaders would naturally change accordingly.After discovering that grape bullets were not effective against the enemy's tactics of raising shields and advancing in formation, Ma Youfu asked the artillery to still use solid bullets at close range.

Although this shot was not as straightforward as using grape bullets to sweep away a large area of ​​Zhutu's light armored infantry, it could still cause a lot of damage, and it could also destroy those simple siege equipment by the way.

In addition to the phalanx near Cihangir, seven phalanxes in other directions were also bombarded similarly. In just a few tens of seconds, the attacking force lost more than 100 people.

Faced with the changed bombardment strategy of the Crusaders, Cihangir could only order the phalanxes to disperse again.

This order is correct.

Under the interference of heavy fog, the Crusader artillery failed to detect the change of Mulholland's army in time, and still fired another round with solid shells, with little success.

And the few minutes wasted was enough for the Sipasi cavalry to come down the defensive slope.

Moreover, the remaining Ottoman artillerymen also took advantage of this opportunity to risk their lives and push the four stone-shooting cannons to a distance of 200 meters from the Crusader fortress.

The cannonball they were going to fire could not withstand excessive chamber pressure like a solid cannonball because it was filled with a special liquid that lures Nubian worms.

When firing this kind of hollow shell, the gunpowder loaded needs to be halved, which causes a problem of greatly reducing the range. It is necessary to go forward to a place 200 meters away from the city wall to ensure that it hits the target.

Accompanied by the roar of the stone-shooting cannon, all four hollow-point bullets hit the city wall.After the outer iron shell was broken, the dark green juice inside immediately scattered and splashed, splashing a large area of ​​mottled traces with an indescribable stench on the city wall.

The stench was so strong that it could be smelled in the Mulholland barracks a kilometer away.

Mustaine covered his nostrils, which were thicker than humans, and ordered with a frown: "The two insect masters, you can now order the Lord of the Desert to attack."

"Of course, my lord general."

The worm master immediately ordered his assistants to remove the black cloth covering the Nubian worm, and then began to dance a weird dance.

Their skinny bodies imitated the bodies of insects, wriggling and wriggling constantly, shouting and chanting complicated mantras.

When the patterns on the worm controllers began to emit a strange green light, the huge body of the Nubia worm began to move.

These two giant creatures, revered as the "Lord of the Desert" by the aborigines of the desert, finally got rid of the shackles of human medicine and began to rush to the battlefield!

Chapter 480 The Third Magical Brush

Roar!Roar!

Ma Youfu, who was directing artillery operations on the city wall, suddenly heard two terrifying low roars from the thick fog in the distance.

A rhythmic vibration is being continuously transmitted to the soles of the feet from a distance through the earth.

"Master Longbeard, is the rune cannon ready?" Ma Youfu asked loudly.

The two rune cannons are placed on the triangular platforms that protrude from both ends of the city wall, and the distance is relatively far.But soon, the dwarf's answer came through the mist: "The rune infusion is completed immediately, and the sun is about to rise!"

"Don't wait for my order, get ready to launch immediately!" After finishing speaking, Ma Youfu shouted to the dwarf artillery who was manipulating another rune cannon, "Hurry up and load the 'Cross Ridge', the enemy's behemoth is coming! "

Speaking of it, although the dwarves seem to be a stubborn and rough race, who likes to drink, and will fight with others for their beards at every turn, they also have a lot of artistic cells.

For example, Ouli Longbeard prepared all kinds of special shells for the rune cannon, each of which was given an artistic name by him.

The special shell Ouli Longbeard is preparing to launch is called "Mountains Blazing Sun", which is actually a super-large flare that has been enchanted with a "Daylight Art" and strengthened with dwarf-specific magic runes.

However, the lighting effect of this shell is excellent.After the launch, the shell exploded in the air, and the light released was like an artificial sun rising, capable of dispelling large swathes of darkness, and it lasted for more than two hours.

Therefore, the name "Qunshan Lieyang" is worthy of the name.

As soon as Ma Youfu finished speaking, the rune cannon located on the triangular platform at the left end let out an angry roar.

This kind of rune cannon is not only carefully crafted by dwarven masters, but also the gun mount is an excellent product made by the efforts of countless human and dwarf craftsmen.

This kind of gun mount can make the elevation angle of the rune cannon reach [-] degrees through a complex special design.If the amount of gunpowder is reduced, the rune cannon can be used as a mortar for some special purposes.

For example, now, the special artillery shell named "Mountains of Fierce Sun" was sent into the sky by the rune cannon with a high-throw trajectory, and exploded at a height of 200 meters.

In an instant, the whole valley was filled with bright and warm orange, as if there was really a round of scorching sun rising slowly in the mountains.

The light pierced through the night like a sharp sword, dispelling more than half of the thick fog.

Although the visibility is still not as good as during the day when the light is good and there is no wind and sand, the soldiers on the walls of the bastion can already see clearly the situation on the battlefield ahead.

At this time, the Sipasi cavalry had rushed up the defensive slope.Those elite warriors with red eyes who had drunk red hashish rushed to the front.Although they were wearing heavy armor, after their potential was stimulated by drugs, their running speed was even faster than those Azabu mercenaries wearing cloth robes before.

Fortunately, after dispelling most of the fog, the musketeers and crossbowmen on the city wall were able to display their combat effectiveness and shoot at the enemies below.

However, in the face of these Sipahi cavalry who ate red hashes, not only the bow and crossbow could not do anything to the opponent's heavy armor, but even the musket with good armor-piercing effect was less powerful.

Although the [-]mm lead bullet fired by the matchlock gun can still penetrate the chain armor of the Sipasi cavalry.But after the bullet was shot into the human body, as long as it didn't hit the vital parts such as the heart and the head, the Sipasi cavalry was killed on the spot, otherwise, these berserkers who seemed to have no pain could continue to charge.

They seem to have severed their pain nerves, and that body is no longer their own.

"Crazy!" Ma Youfu gave this evaluation, and then sent the Grenadier Centuries to the city wall.

As long as the Sipasi cavalry rushed under the city walls, they were to be entertained with grenades.

In addition to these elite Sipasi cavalry who were fearless to die after taking the drug, the Sipasi attendants who followed them to attack also showed amazing resilience.Because there is a life dependent relationship with the master of the Sipasi cavalry, so as long as the master does not retreat, no matter how afraid they are, they can only continue to fight.

These attendants rushed up the defense slope one after another against the firepower net constructed by shells, arrows, and bullets.Although there were heavy casualties, some escaped the attack between the Crusaders' shooting, rushed across the defensive slope, built a temporary wooden bridge on the ditch, and rushed down to the city carrying the siege ladder.

Then, sent by grenadiers' grenades to meet their true god Ankabal.

After throwing in the elite grenadiers, Ma Youfu temporarily stabilized the situation.But there was an imminent, literally huge threat that awaited him and the bastion defenders.

Two Nubian worms are rushing towards the bastion.Their fat and huge yellow-brown bodies are constantly wriggling on the ground. Although they look very clumsy, their speed is not slow at all.

Wherever it passes, a deep ravine will be plowed on the ground, and every time the huge body rubs against the ground, it will cause a shock.

They opened their mouths wide, unscrupulously showing the dense sharp teeth that can only appear in the most terrifying nightmare of human beings, blocking all obstacles in the way-stones, plants, and those who are too late to run The opened human soldiers were all swallowed into the huge mouth that seemed to be an endless abyss, and then they were completely cut and chewed.

However, this does not satisfy the greedy big bugs.

Their sense of smell has already locked on to the city wall exuding a rotten smell in front of them, as if there is a worm utopia that can devour flesh and blood.

Seeing the two disgusting and terrifying monsters standing upright twice as high as the city wall, rushing towards him, many soldiers on the city wall were stunned, holding the weapons in their hands, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, their commander, the Duke of Baal, who always led them to victory, issued an order to wake them up from their confusion.

"Fill all the cannons with solid bullets and aim at the big bug on the left! The one on the right will be handled by the No. [-] Rune Cannon."

"My lord, those big bugs are too fast!" said an artilleryman.

His artillery crew had just taken away several Sipasi cavalry with shotguns, and by the time they reloaded and aimed, the two terrifying desert monsters might have rushed under the city wall.

Protective slopes and ditches have no effect on these two ugly and big things. At that time, the artillery on the city wall will lose the shooting angle of Nubian worms.

If there were only these two big bugs, it would be easy to deal with, but at the same time, the defenders would have to deal with the attack of the berserk Sipasi cavalry.

This artilleryman is also a veteran who followed Ma Youfu from Ghent to Paris.Although he has experienced hundreds of battles, this is the first time he has encountered such a dilemma, so that he is a little at a loss.

Since becoming an army, Ma Youfu's artillery units have often been able to take advantage of their technological advantages on the battlefield to launch fierce long-range strikes against the enemy while staying in a relatively safe environment.This kind of situation where the enemy is going to be reckless in the face has never been experienced before.

Most of these artillerymen were attracted by the lucrative rewards, and they were transferred from small traders, small citizens, cannon blacksmiths and other personnel who knew mathematics. Compared with serious soldiers, they still lacked some perseverance and composure.

If they survive today's difficulties, they will transform into real soldiers.Otherwise, you can only be buried in the mouth of insects.

"Follow my order, soldier! I won't say it a third time." Ma Youfu said.

He is not in the mood to care about the mentality of the soldiers right now.He doesn't need the other party to understand his order, he just needs to execute it faithfully.

It was the first time for the artilleryman to see the ruthless look of the Lord Duke. He was so clever that he couldn't say anything. He quickly took the cannon brush and stabbed it hard into the barrel, cleaning up the gunpowder residue hard. Prepare for the next launch.

Ma Youfu also temporarily put the grenade launcher into the dimension bag.Because casting high-level spells requires both hands to make spell-casting gestures at the same time, holding an iron bump weighing more than five kilograms in one hand is not easy to cast spells.

When the two Nubian worms rushed to a distance of 50 meters from the bastion and leveled half of the defensive slope, the spell in Ma Youfu's hand also took shape.

"Glass Transformation!"

This six-ring change school spell can turn a cubic meter of matter into glass.And Ma Youfu's glass conversion spell incorporates the effect of nano-power, which can make this cubic meter of glass have a very, very thin thickness.

Therefore, the final effect of this spell is to turn the ground 20 meters wide and 30 meters long in front of the two Nubian worms into glass.

This was not enough, Ma Youfu quickly performed several greasy spells, making the entire glass floor extremely greasy.

The two Nubian worms, which were charging forward with an unstoppable momentum, are now trapped in the smooth trap created by Ma Youfu. No matter how they squirm their fat bodies and try to crawl forward, it is futile, they just keep struggling in place. Then he rubbed his thick skin against the glass violently, making a sharp noise.

The morale of the soldiers on the city wall was immediately boosted when they saw the Duke of Baal's ingenuity in trapping two fierce worms with a few spells.The artillerymen cleaned the barrel, and then loaded gunpowder and shells, all a little faster.

boom!

The twelve-pounder, which was the first to finish loading, opened fire immediately.

After the cannon with tens of thousands of joules of kinetic energy was ejected, it slammed into the body of a Nubian worm.

The desert giant let out a long howl in pain, but the iron shell failed to penetrate its tough and thick skin, and instead bounced off.

"Keep firing!" Ma Youfu frowned and thought while urging the artillerymen not to stop.Soon, he seemed to have found a solution, making complex spell-casting gestures with both hands.

Accompanied by the profound incantation, a huge cold magical power began to gather in his hands.
