Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 642: Bloody battle

"Ah, here comes Peter..."

The four soldiers on a steam ballista position on the city wall were all happy to see Zhang Tie’s arrival. In these days of defending the city, Zhang Tie has become a steam ballista on the wall here. "Shen Gunner", his daily work on the wall is to work with other fighters on a ballista position numbered S137 on the northern wall of Moge City.

When other ballistas operate this mid-to-short range ballista position, because of the powerful vitality of the demonized puppet, even if they are operating the ballista, it is very difficult to kill a demonized puppet, because the demonized puppet is terrifying. The immortality characteristics of, unless the head is instantly exploded, even if it is penetrated by the ballista, or even if it is broken, it will still rush over.

Seven days ago, the gunner who operated this ballista position had been operating on the gun position for too long, his arm was shaken and dislocated and he suffered severe contusions. Zhang Tie happened to be beside him and said, "Let me come. Right after that, I sat in the position of the gunner, and with his outstanding ability, he quickly won the approval of other fighters in this gun position and became a special non-staff on the S137 gun position.

In charge of the gun positions of S137 and its surroundings is a ballista battalion of the 7th City Defense Regiment of the Moge City Garrison of the Republic of Saipan. Logically speaking, people who are not from the ballista battalion, especially those like Zhang Tie. It is generally impossible for non-staff personnel with the status of Ranger to sit in the position of the gunner, but at this time, no one cares about these, as long as they can kill the Demon Race.

Originally saw Zhang Tie sitting on the ballista position of S137, the people around were still very surprised. After receiving the report, the battalion commander of the battalion even came over in angrily to prepare to reprimand him, but the battalion commander Only after watching Zhang Tie for two minutes, his anger disappeared and he assumed the identity of Zhang Tie as a special supernumerary gunner. At this time, as long as the people in the city of Moge can resist the demons, everyone is responsible, so what is the military uniform.

Seeing Zhang Tie approaching, the gunner who was still sitting on the ballista position also jumped down in relief and gave Zhang Tie the operating position, "Fuck those **** hard..."

Without saying a word, Zhang Tie quickly jumped up and sat down in the gunner's position. He skillfully pulled the reset bolt of the steam ballista, put his two hands on the shooting handle, pressed the trigger with his hand, and swept his eyes. The gun shook, and a crossbow arrow flew more than 500 meters from the muzzle, accurately exploding the head of a demonized puppet rushing over with the corpse, and sprinkled a large swath of red and white objects.

The other soldiers on the S137 gun position all screamed happily. If other people are in the position of Zhang Tie, they can accurately shoot the demonized puppet after about three shots, but where they are shot on the demonized puppet, it depends entirely on luck. If the shot is on the torso or siblings , Except for opening a hole, the demonized puppet can still run over, at most only a little slower, to really kill the demonized puppet, the number of crossbow arrows consumed on the gun position should be at least seven or eight or even ten rounds. With Zhang Tie, ten crossbow arrows can accurately kill more than four demonized puppets here.

"Hurry up and help transport the ammunition!" The squad leader on the gun station roared, rolling up his sleeves, and automatically becoming Zhang Tie's logistics staff with the others.

From this moment on, the S137 gun position vibrated deeply, shooting out the crossbow arrows with an accurate frequency of three shots in two seconds, and continuously harvesting those from 30 meters to 500 meters below the city. The life of the demonized puppet rushing over.

Sitting in the gunner’s position, Zhang Tie kept repeating the aiming and shooting movements without any distraction, and his body was slightly shaken with the ballista, because the ballista on the city wall was shot out by high-pressure steam ejection. The principle is similar to the bullet in the thermal weapon era, except that it replaces the gunpowder and becomes an active high-density vapor compression tank rotating under the gun position. The thrust released by the vapor compression tank instantly enters the barrel, and one of the barrels The sliding mount similar to the piston pops out, and the crossbow bolt loaded in the mount can be shot out.

At the moment when the high-density vapor compression tank is released, a huge reaction force will also be generated on the gun mount. Although there are devices such as shock-absorbing springs on the gun mount, part of the force will inevitably be transferred to the gunner. Generally speaking, as long as one hour of continuous operation, the arm will be numb. It is a common phenomenon that the joints of the arm are shaken and dislocated or cause severe joint wear after a long time of continuous operation.

But for Zhang Tie, the reaction force of that point of gun position has no effect on him. For a person whose body is immune to nearly 900 kilograms of strike force, the damage from the vibration is too insignificant.

Zhang Tie's hands were firmly pressed on the shooting handle like a rock, constantly exploding the bodies or heads of the demonized puppets he saw in front of him. This is different from throwing flying spears, but it is similar. Zhang Tie’s super ability of precise throwing is used here. Although he can’t make the ballista as 100% accurate as his throwing flying spears, he relies on his own feeling. And instinct, it is still possible for the accuracy of the ballista to reach 30-50%. Although Zhang Tie cannot control the power of the steam erupting from the rotating high-density vapor compression tank, the crossbow arrow shoots His trajectory is similar to that of his throwing flying spear.

It was precisely with this ability that Zhang Tie became a respectable "God Gunner" on this section of the city wall. How many demonized puppets had been killed in the past few days, even Zhang Tie couldn't remember.

For others, this kind of harvest is worthy of joy, but for Zhang Tie, this kind of harvest does not make much sense, but he has to do it, because those demonized puppets were also humans during their lifetime, and those killed here were not demons, but It's just a larva and egg of the demon puppet worm female worm. A puppet worm can give birth to hundreds of thousands of such eggs a day. The real demon army has not appeared until this time. For the Demon Legion, the so-called Demonized Puppet Legion is just a low-value consumable that is not valuable. Their purpose is to make cannon fodder and die. No matter how much they die, the demon will not feel distressed.

The people in Mog City, who knows, the once famous Cernes Eagle, at this time will sit in the position of a small steam ballista and play the role of a gunner.

The enchanted puppets that rushed into the city wall within 30 meters of the city wall entered the downward shooting dead angle of the steam ballista on the city wall. At this position, it was the coverage area of ​​the scattered strike weapon below, and the entire city wall was densely covered. Various defensive weapons were layered on top of each other. The demonized puppets that rushed here, after dropping the corpse in their hands, almost no longer could go back alive, and those demonized puppets didn't seem to want to go back alive. Almost like a sieve, the demonized puppets gathered under the city wall, actively accumulating, so that the movable demonized puppets began to try to climb upwards, and as long as they were close to the city wall, the middle of the wall was densely packed.

In the hole the size of an egg, rows of sharp steel guns operated by the machine will pierce out of the hole, retract, pierce, and retract, repeating this action continuously, and constantly Shattered the efforts and bodies of the demonized puppets.

Although the demonized puppets who stepped on the corpses of their companions failed every time, each time, as the corpse became more tired, the distance between the demonized puppets and the highest part of the city wall was getting closer and closer. After being completely blocked, the defensive weapons in the middle and lower sections of the city wall also began to lose their effectiveness.

Everyone knows that the time to truly test Mog City has not yet come, but it is not far from the time when it comes.

As soon as he stayed on the gun position, Zhang Tie had forgotten the time. He didn't know when, besides the torch, the lens headlights on the city wall also lit up, illuminating the area within 100 meters from the city wall. , But farther away, it became blurred. One by one burning cupping pots were thrown out of the city and burned on the empty and dark areas outside the city, illuminating the dark places to help The shooting weapons in the city provide enough light.

After the sky was completely dark, because of the dark cover, the accuracy of the various weapons on the wall began to decrease at long distances. The demonized puppets became more agitated, the density and frequency of attacks increased significantly, and they were thrown away. The incendiary bombs that go out of the city will always be extinguished by the demonized puppets quickly, making the surrounding space completely black.

In the darkness, the hideous faces of the demonized puppets were like ghosts rushing out of the darkness, rushing towards Moge City in waves.

Zhang Tie’s dark vision allowed him to maintain the same accuracy rate in the dark as during the day, because the density of the demonized puppets’ offensive formations increased, and in the dark, the lethality of the ballistas operated by Zhang Tie increased. But on the entire wall, there is only one person who can have Zhang Tie's ability. Therefore, the number of demonized puppets that rushed within 30 meters of the wall began to increase significantly.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Tie only heard a pop in his ears, and then his face became hot, and the firing of the S137 ballista suddenly stopped...

A place on the ballista position suddenly burst, and a burst of metal fragments cut through Zhang Tie’s face, leaving a finger-length wound on Zhang Tie’s left cheek...

"Ah, the high-pressure rifle of S137 is broken, how could this be? Fuck..." The squad leader, who had already changed the second shift, lay down on the ground and looked under the turret, and shouted, surrounding him. Several fighters in's also panicked...

Zhang Tie ignored the wounds on his face and the dripping blood, he wiped a hand, jumped from the gunner's position, lowered his head to check, a pipe at the bottom of the gun mount was obviously damaged. Scorching steam jetted out from inside...

"How about it, can you fix it?" Zhang Tie asked the monitor...

"This is a key component of the gun position. It shouldn't be damaged at all. How could this be? This thing can only be replaced and cannot be repaired. To replace this thing requires the entire turret to be removed. It takes at least three days at the earliest. Can it be repaired?" The squad leader of the S137 gun station turned pale...

In the blink of an eye, a ballista turret blasted again in the distance, and another ballista squatted down...

...

In the last few hours, ask for a monthly pass!
