After more than half an hour of artillery fire, Priska's rammed earth city walls were riddled with artillery bombs.

After all, artillery can be called the **** of war, and its power is definitely not covered.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s staff had been fine before, and had conducted several tests.

Through various experimental data, it is proved that the attack power of a cannon fired by a single shot is basically equivalent to the full attack of a large magician above the middle level.

dps old cow fork. It can be said to be an absolutely indispensable powerful weapon for fighting monsters and brushing a copy.

And compared to the most effective blasting bombs fired by magicians during the siege, the effect is only strong or not weak.

Although the magicians' explosive bullets also have explosive effects, they are only magical attacks after all, but there is no pure physical attack with shrapnel splashing.

In this era, although there are a lot of magicians, they are not yet luxurious enough to attack a small city, and fifteen middle-level great magicians are needed to fight together.

And more than half an hour of saturation attack is enough to make those magicians tired like dogs, how long their tongues stick out.

Without three or five days of rest, it would be impossible to regain combat power.

Therefore, as soon as this cannon was on the stage of war, it was immediately welcomed by all war fanatics.

This gadget is cheap, sufficient, and extremely obedient. The operation is simple, flexible and convenient.

Just send out a few small soldiers, pull them out, put in ammunition, and you can fight. And the lethality is quite amazing.

Whether it is siege of the city, murder and arson, home travel, roadblocking and robbery, they are all necessary guys.

Compared with it, those magicians with eyes above the top are inferior to dogs~!

No matter where they go, those puppies are all just like the uncle. They have to be delicious and drinkable all day long. Even if they ask them to make a move, they have to accompany the smiling faces for a long time. In this way, it depends on the mood of the other party.

Therefore, after being equipped with cannons, the morale of these new troops was extremely high. Especially when only oneself fights the enemy, and the other party cannot fight oneself. The puppies are all extremely happy.

Amid the huge roar, the cannonball rushed out of the barrel with a sharp noise, flew over the heads of the soldiers, and then slammed heavily on the opposite city wall, exploding on the thick wall. A group of orange-red flames with black sè, and the directly exploded masonry splashed, digging large holes in the city wall.

Every time at this time, the soldiers raised their swords in excitement and screamed.

The rebel soldiers who originally guarded the city wall had already seen the power of the cannon yesterday. As early as when the new army pushed out the artillery, they all quickly fled from the city wall, hiding in the thick wall to avoid the gunfire. .

After the shelling stopped, the entire city of Prisca was silent, except for the smoke that was still burning slowly, and the shadow of a rebel soldier on the city was invisible.

Although all the officers and soldiers of the new army were all cheering and howling just now, there was also a moment of silence when they saw the scattered city wall that was bombed.

The power of that cannon is really too powerful. After one shot, such a thick city wall was also blown out of a big gap. If it blows on oneself...

In that situation, just thinking about it is enough to make people feel terrified.

At the same time, they felt fortunate for a while: Fortunately, that thing belongs to them~!

For a while, everyone whispered in a whisper.

The knight officers watched and shouted at the soldiers under them, trying to calm them down. At the same time, they couldn't help feeling a little anxious and... and a trace of fear.

Is this martial arts still useful in the future?

Is it still useful?

*, this artillery shot out, even the Paladin couldn't resist it~!

This winter training for thirty-nine, summer training for dormancy, hard work, training and upgrading, what's the use~!

What's the use~!

No matter how high you practice, no matter how good your defense is, and the result is a single shot, isn't it beaten to pieces?

No wonder the **** Luo Sanchi of'Tian Gao Sanchi' picks up girls and scrapes the ground all day long, and he is not doing business at all. He used to think he was a waste of time. Now it seems that he is right.

But the guy who is immersed in training all day, practicing martial arts and strengthening the body is an out-and-out stupid fork.

Knowing this a long time ago, how good would anyone practice what martial arts, what level to upgrade, and spend all time on picking up girls?

As they thought, they turned their heads one after another, looking in the direction of Shuai Qi. Waiting for the upcoming order.

Lorraine and Hassel set up their horses behind the artillery position, and after carefully observing the city of Prisca with binoculars, they slowly raised their right hand and pointed forward.

The messenger next to him immediately raised his throat and shouted hoarsely: "Your lord has an order, attack~!"

"Offensive~!" "Offensive~!" "..." The command was passed on.

The officer at the forefront of the first attack phalanx was already impatient. As soon as he received the order, he immediately raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly, "Brothers, go!"

As he said, the sword in his hand slashed forward sharply, and then took the lead and slew towards the town not far away.

Behind him, the soldiers also shouted like a tide, carrying huge wooden shields, ladders and other siege tools. Run quickly up the city wall.

Looking down from a high altitude, you can clearly see that the originally neat square array suddenly boiled.

Like a tide, it surged towards the city wall not far away.

When the rebel soldiers in the city heard the shouts, they knew what had happened-the new army had begun to attack the city.

"Go up the wall, go up the wall~!"

"Hold the guy in your hand, ready to fight~!"

"You bastards, hurry up on the wall~!"

"..."

The officers of the rebel army screamed loudly, but the soldiers who had been frightened by yesterday's shelling did not dare to cringe below the city wall.

The officers immediately waved their swords and whips unceremoniously.

At the same time, angrily cursed.

"Coward, take up your weapons~!"

"When the enemy is attacking, they will not fire their cannons and go up to fight."

"Wait for them to come up and kill you? Go up and fight~!"

"Those who dare to escape, kill without mercy~!"

"Brothers, the enemy comes up and fights with them~!"

"The general has an order, whoever cuts the enemy's head, rewards ten gold coins~!"

"..."

While shouting angrily, they punched and kicked and drove the poor soldiers up the city wall to defend against the coming attack.

When the new army was about to approach the wall, a large number of rebel soldiers also appeared on the wall of Priska. They took up crossbows and other weapons and fired at the approaching new army soldiers.

Some Nouveau soldiers raised their shields, and some Nouveau soldiers used wooden boards they carried to resist.

Behind them, the archers and crossbowmen of the new army have also rushed to their positions, drawing bows and shooting arrows at the soldiers at the head of the city.

For a time, the arrows fell like rain.

After approaching the big ditch dug in front of the city wall, the Nouvelles soldiers threw down the planks under the rain of arrows, paved the road, stepped on the planks through the big ditch, and rushed to the city wall of Priska, preparing to lean on the ladder.

Lorraine had been holding the binoculars carefully, watching the offensive and defensive battles on the city wall intently, and nodded slightly when he saw that all the enemy's reaction was expected.

General Hassel frowned, and said to himself that it was not good, that the siege would not work at all, but he was hesitant about what to do next and whether to change the plan.

Hassel himself has no experience in siege warfare. According to him, the flying eagle war **** next to him does not seem to have experience in siege warfare either. Since his debut, he has mostly fought in field battles.

Hassel said inwardly: Well, experience is exchanged for lessons, and you know how to fight. Although this loss may be much heavier.

Lorraine put down his sight glasses and said flatly: "Alright, let them withdraw."

Hassel secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered loudly: "Retreat and let them withdraw."

The new army blew the retreat trumpet here, and the soldiers of the new army with the defenders' bows and arrows under the city wall threw down their simple siege tools and quickly retreated from the previous road.

The Hadu soldiers in the city let out a burst of cheers, holding their bows and crossbows, chasing the soldiers of the new army and shooting them in the ass.

The defenders who had been shelled twice were very frustrated, and the feeling of being beaten passively was the most uncomfortable. Now that they have repelled an offensive by the New Army, they felt a deep sulk. They even pointed at the back of the New Army soldiers who had evacuated and shouted: "Grandson, don't run, come again."

With a binoculars, Hassel glanced at the crowded defenders on the front of the city. He moved his head and said loudly: "Shoot at the front of the city at this moment~!"

Lorraine glanced at Searle again, smiled slightly, and thought to himself that he could not remember anything.

Lorraine didn’t want to kindly remind Hassel, as a commander in command of Almohad’s government, if he didn’t even have such a flexible mind, then Lorraine would have to remind Queen Isabella to change when he returned. .

This kind of thing must be comprehended by him, otherwise he only has new weapons, but he cannot study new tactics. Such a general can only be an old stubborn.

On the contrary, he can see the superiority of a new type of weapon and work out the most suitable method to use them, and he can be regarded as a famous general.

Following Hassel's order, the artillery had already been adjusted and fired quickly.

As the gun smoke suddenly flashed from the muzzle, the cheers of the defenders on the wall stopped abruptly, and they shouted anxiously: "Run, run~!"

Their words have not yet fallen, the cannonball fell on the city wall, smashed into the crowd on the city, and then exploded in the distance.

The new army saw a flash of fire on Priska from a distance. After the explosion, the rebel soldiers on the wall disappeared.

Just because the enemy was crowded on the wall, the effect of this shelling was much better than the previous two.

The soldiers of the New Army who had retreated were very relieved, and some simply stopped and turned and pointed at Priska and yelled happily.

Soon, the troops who had attacked the city for the first time withdrew to Lorraine and Hassel.

"How about the loss?" Lorraine glanced at the soldiers of the new army siege.

The officer leading the siege saluted, and said: "Because of adequate preparation, it is estimated that the casualties will be about a hundred people."

Lorraine nodded, the casualties were not high, of course mainly because of the timely retreat, and then asked: "Do you think we can take down the city wall now?"

The officer shook his head decisively and said, "This method can't work."

"Do you think there is a better way?" Lorraine looked at the officer beside him and said, "You all"

The officer who led the attack thought for a while, and said, "I think our shelling stopped too early, and the enemy has enough time to run up the wall. If the artillery keeps blasting, we just need to stop when we step on the wall. The enemy has no time to stop us."

The people around nodded, and it seemed to them that the situation was the same. There was too long a time interval between the bombardment stopped and the troops attacked the city.

"Okay," Lorraine nodded, and said, "Take the troops out for the time being, and continue tomorrow. Try the method you said."

The day on the battlefield passed. Early the next morning, the new army artillery began to bomb Priska's wall again.

The defenders in the city already had experience, all hiding under the city wall and waiting for the shelling to pass.

At this time, the siege troops left the camp and kept moving as close to the city wall as possible.

As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the offensive horn sounded from the rear, and the soldiers in front rushed towards the wall with their heads stuffed.

At this time, the enemy was still hesitating whether the artillery fire really stopped. They didn't react until the new army came to the front and immediately went to the city for defense.

Some soldiers of the Novice Army successfully boarded the city wall, but they were quickly surrounded by guards who flocked to the city. The soldiers under the city couldn't meet the people in the city as quickly as possible with ladders. The soldiers of the Novice Army were quickly crushed under the city. The situation is the same as yesterday.

Seeing Lorraine's decisive order to retreat, today's battle is over.

Then the officers of General Lorraine gathered together and asked, "What do you think of the situation today?"

Hassel shook his head and said, "Priska's walls are too high. Climbing the walls is very unfavorable. The ones below are not useful, and the people above are not responding."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"What's your opinion?" Lorraine asked flatly.

Hassel thought for a while, and said: "Only simple siege equipment cannot achieve the goal. I think they should build siege ladders on the spot. As long as the soldiers can quickly board the wall, it won't be a problem to take the wall."

Most people nodded and said, "Yes, this is the way."

"That," an officer said cautiously, "I think, can we directly use artillery to collapse the city wall."

"How many shells do you get? Our shells can't be replenished, and they will be gone when used up."

"We have been blasting for two days, and the enemy's walls have not been destroyed much."

The crowd raised objections.

"Can we focus all the artillery on one shot? I saw that if the shot is accurate, we can peel off a large piece of the city wall at a time."

Everyone suddenly realized that if you think about it this way, it's not impossible. In many cases, no one's brain quickly turns around.

This is the same as working on tablet computers. Other big consumer electronics companies are not without this technical strength, but no one has done it for so many years. When the first one comes out, they will follow in a swarm, but their minds have not turned around.

Hassel looked at Lorraine and asked, "My lord, what do you say?"

Lorraine smiled slightly and said: "Both methods are good, very good, everyone prepares at the same time."

Everyone was taken aback, wondering if it was a waste of time to do so.

The next day, Prisca’s defenders were surprised to find that their enemies no longer bombarded the wall, and their artillery stared at a section of the wall, all aimed there.

For the whole day, the cannon almost never stopped except when eating.

The city wall was trembling constantly under the shelling, and the defenders behind the city wall were disturbed by the sound of the explosion.

But the effect of the bombing of Priska's wall on the first day was not ideal. A large piece of soil was peeled off, but the extent to which it could collapse is far away.

People in the new army were a little frustrated by the result.

Hassel asked Lorraine whether to stop the bombardment of the city wall. This would consume too much ammunition, and it is difficult to judge whether it will succeed in the future.

Lorraine didn't care, waved his hand, said to him that it was okay, and then blew. Weakening the city wall can at least reduce the casualties of future siege.

In the next few days, in the eyes of everyone, the new army had accepted the lesson and had been making preparations for siege under Priskar city nervously, ready to take Prisca city in one fell swoop.

After several days of shelling, Priska's earth-filled city wall finally could not resist and collapsed.

But before Almohad’s new army was happy, at night when the shelling stopped, the defenders in the city made rush repairs and used a lot of construction materials such as wood and stones to plug the gap.

The artillery aimed at the repaired city wall and then bombed, and then Prisca's defenders proceeded to repair it. The two sides seemed to be playing an endless game, wasting the resources in their hands before anyone else.

The defenders of Prisca City write a letter for help to the rear every day, one more urgently. According to the defenders in Prisca City, their current situation is becoming more and more dangerous.

As soon as the preparations for the new army are completed, Priska's fall will be inevitable, and the 40,000 soldiers in the city cannot stop the 40,000 soldiers of the new army.

However, in the view of the new army, the situation is not optimistic. If this continues, they will run out of shells without waiting for full combat.

On the seventh day of the siege, Hassel finally couldn't help but found Lorraine, and said anxiously: "Sir, should we stop bombarding the city wall? This seems to have no effect.

Our artillery shells will be kept to deal with the more important Hardu. "

Lorraine curled his lips and said, "Doesn't that mean that all the shells we fired in the previous few days were wasted?"

Hassel sighed helplessly, which made him particularly uncomfortable. He just gave up halfway and felt reluctant, but he felt even more reluctant to continue the bombardment.

Lorraine glanced to the south. Until now, Hardu still did not move. He seemed to be too complacent. With a radius of five hundred li from the center of the battlefield, there was no sign of the movement of Hardu's troops unless Hardu's men were moving. He would escape, otherwise he hasn't moved yet.

And the rebel army behind his **** was no longer suffocating, showing signs of moving south.

Lorraine shook his head and said, "You can't just do half of the show. Go on, believe me, the opportunity for change will come soon."

Hassel was startled, and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Lorraine said: "You will know soon."

Of course, these are not unhappy people, such as Vera.

The first thing Miss Vera wakes up every day, and the last thing before going to bed, is to check her own income.

And I hope that the so-called Hadu, it is best to never come over.

He comes to fight, and Vera won't make any money after this battle.

At noon on the tenth day, the reconnaissance forces active nearby spotted the rebel coalition forces approaching slowly, and they were less than a hundred miles away from the new army.

The news came back, causing tension in the new army.

Although Hassel felt very strange, how did Lorraine know the news? None of the Almohad themselves could find out the news of the arrival of the rebels.

But thinking about the extraordinaryness of this Sir Alex, Hassel could only keep the doubt in his heart.

Although they knew when they set off that ~lightnovelpub.net~ was deeply trapped in the enemy's area and would face the enemy's encirclement, the soldiers would inevitably be nervous when the enemy did appear.

The force comparison on the battlefield is now one to one.

In the view of the new army, although they have artillery, they are cut off from the back and can only be trapped. The outcome is really unpredictable.

The rebel army camped 30 miles away from the new army camp, facing the new army.

In this case, Lorraine ordered to stop the bombardment and siege preparations on Priska and prepare to deal with the rebel attack from behind.

But the enemy hasn't moved since he set up camp.

Suddenly there was a strange silence on the battlefield. There was no gunfire, no shouting, no mobilization, no marching. Even the scouts of both sides no longer drive each other away.

All the people forgot about the war and stayed in the camp with nothing to do.

Both sides in the war knew that they were waiting for someone who could break the game to appear, and this person was Hardu. ! .
