Chapter 1228 Damn It!

In this era, shelling is a technical job that requires personal experience.

That means Ironforge, which has so many raw materials that it can't be used up, and can make more cannonballs than bread, can support a group of gunners.

The most heard dialogue in Ironforge is the following:

"Want to have sex tonight?"

"Date! Make a date to the death!"

As a result, two groups of dwarf tank crews would drink a few kilograms of wine first, then stay up late at night and use cannons to shoot down wolves and catch rabbits, causing the whole of Dun Morogh to panic.

Well, if you want to hook up, just hook up, there’s nothing wrong with it!

Not to mention that before Duke traveled through time, the dwarves still used thick iron cannons without rifling. Even after Duke introduced the concepts of shooting elements and rifling, the hit rate of the cannon fire was still impressive.

There is no way. Before there were computers, in the classic naval battles in the first and second world wars on earth, except for closing the distance and hitting dead targets that could not move, the hit rate did not exceed 10%. It could be more than 5%. The hit rate is already called a divine gunner.

No matter how accurate you are, you must first make a rough guess about two shots, then slowly calibrate, judge the position, direction and speed of the enemy and ourselves based on experience, then estimate the lead time, and finally fire.

As for how accurate it can be, God knows.

After all, at a distance of three thousand meters, even a large object that is a hundred meters long will not look larger than a finger to the naked eye.

Duke's series of 'inventions' overturned all this.

First, he equipped a high-power telescope on the front and top of each gun.

Then the picture in the telescope is directly enlarged to the 32-inch magic mirror display above the gun port.

Finally, just like playing a game, a dotted line is marked on the monitor - that is the arc of the cannonball simulated after setting the target to shoot Zhuyuan. As long as the barrel is adjusted to coincide with the dotted line, it will basically hit.

When Duke's invention came out, it once again changed the entire war.

It's not that the old gunners are no longer good. With the help of the new system, they can shoot more accurately and harder, but the standard of qualified gunners has been easily lowered.

After only three months of training, a new gunner can easily hit a fixed target of fifty meters in diameter from two thousand meters away with a hit rate of more than 50%.

Now, the target is Naxxramas, a huge floating fortress with a length and width of one kilometer. Even if it is three thousand meters away, it is not easy.

"Okay! I'll leave the first shot to you!" Magni raised his glass high!

Duke curled his lips, but still raised his hands high: "The entire fleet obeyed the order and fired three consecutive volleys! Then the Skybreaker maneuvered in a snake-like maneuver, the Black Pearl had full left rudder, and the Flying Dutchman had full right rudder, and the formation was spread out. .”

Following Duke's right hand, he slashed hard.

The entire Skybreaker began to fire from the gun port on the bow.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" From far to near, at first it was a bit like the dull thunder coming from the horizon, but when the sound of the cannon sounded like firecrackers, it continued from the bow to the poop, which was three stories high. At that time, even though the soundproofing magic was set up early in the morning, the violent vibrations from the hull of the ship still made Duke feel a little unbearable.

"Well!"

It is obvious that this Super Skybreaker, which is many times stronger than the original version, has a typical thick and hard dwarf style. It is obvious that each 155mm cannon has rifling, and a water-pressure gas-type recoil system equal to the level of Earth War I. , to reduce recoil.

However, when the 128 cannons fired one after another, the powerful recoil still caused the entire Skybreaker to move to the left at least fifty meters in mid-air.

Together with the two battleships, the three giant ships had a total of more than 200 cannons roaring together. The scene was so spectacular. Even if Tyrande, the chief priest of the Moon Goddess, personally launched [Stars Falling] here, it would not have the momentum it does now.

From the perspective of the soldiers and civilians below, as soon as the three giant ships rushed out of the billowing dark clouds, a dazzling fire suddenly flashed on the side of the ship, followed by an extremely terrifying death scream, which could still be heard clearly even on the ground 10,000 meters away. .

When the cannonballs full of destructive will spanned a distance of three thousand meters and hit the outer wall of the Naxxramas Fortress, explosions and flames immediately appeared continuously on this sinful fortress. .

The fortress was on fire, but the fire was not too big.

But flames are definitely not a good thing for this fortress filled with undead.

Kel'Thuzad was furious on the spot!

"What's going on? What's going on!? Where did the Alliance get the flight control battleship? Did that loser Archimonde die on Mount Hyjal and even lose the void battleship?"

The roar of the archlich is destined to be meaningless.

While Duke was confirming the results of the battle and the impact point through the telescope, he seemed to mutter to himself: "It seems that Naxxramas really can't stop the shells..."

As a firm believer in giant ship cannons, how could the dwarves' cannon be so weak as only 155 mm?

Those 155mm rapid-fire cannons are used for fire suppression and air defense.

By the way, let's test whether Naxxramas's magic protection system is still effective. After all, these days, even the big villains have learned to use [Protective Cannonball] magic on city walls and fortresses.

The real killer weapon is, of course, the three triple turrets installed on the ship after Duke's magic modification!

The caliber is not very good either, just 460mm.

For the crazy dwarves, their caliber is too small. It's just that the craftsmanship is not up to par, and the recoil is too bad. If you want to install it on a flying battleship, this is already the limit. No matter how large-caliber the cannon is, the problem is that the keel of the ship cannot bear it!

Magni could only reluctantly agree to install a 460mm triple turret.

When Duke ordered the main gun to fire, within three or four breaths, a deafening roar erupted from the Potian.

That's the roar of the main gun with full firepower!

One, two, three...nine, a total of nine golden light beams pierced into the dark and evil giant fortress like sharp blades.

Most of the damage from the shelling in front was carried away by the hard outer stone.

This time, faced with the bombardment of the 460mm cannon, the outer wall of the fortress, which had been ravaged time and time again, finally could not withstand it and burst into pieces.

Before, they were worried that the Alliance would send troops to land. Kel'Thuzad sent a large number of undead creatures to the outer layer of the fortress. As a result, these undead creatures were all in bad luck. Skeleton soldiers, flesh and blood structures, etc. were blown to pieces in an instant. , pieces of meat flying everywhere.

The rubble thrown up by the explosion easily pierced the wings or directly penetrated the body of the gargoyle that was just about to attack. It screamed and fell from the mid-air.

The huge abomination was exploded into rotten tomatoes, sprinkling filthy rain of blood.

Kel'Thuzad had been saving up for many years to prepare the undead army that would be used to conquer the entire world of Azeroth in the future, but he walked into the abyss of destruction painfully and helplessly in front of the terrible artillery fire.

Duke couldn't stop laughing: "Fire the cannon, fire the cannon! Shoot out all the cannonballs! Blow his mother!"
