Chapter 552 Longhang Cannon
"Okay, there will be plenty of time to consider future directions and other issues. Let's get back to the defensive operations first."
Because of his seniority, Xia Zuo was naturally given the title of "host", although he was not good at this.
"Whether it is the first stage of the battle around the old fort, the second stage of the battle on the road from the old fort to the new fort, or the final stage around the new fort, our responsibility is to hinder the footsteps of the old mountain dragon.
Everyone, please speak up if you have any good ideas."
"Catch a leg and chop it to death until it is broken, otherwise what else can you do?" Heinie pulled her messy dreadlocks, looking as if it was a matter of course.
"That's the truth."
Amos folded his arms, "The problem is how to chop it, that guy's legs are much thicker than this table for ten people."
"Untie it!" Heinie slapped the table, his eyes shining.
Xia Zuo reminded: "Let alone chopping it off, if we want to hurt the old mountain dragon, we must first face two problems. One is the small monsters surrounding the old mountain dragon, and the other is the old mountain dragon's thick shell like a rock layer."
"We still have to rely on artillery." Evelyn said: "We communicated with the shooters in advance and asked them to focus on bombarding one leg of the old mountain dragon. It would be best if the shell could be smashed and cracked.
Otherwise, with the weapons in our hands, especially those with light weapons, the situation of bouncing the knife may be very serious."
"Small monsters cannot be completely eliminated. During the attack, we must allocate people to cover and eliminate small monsters." Amos also added on the side.
Xia Zuo nodded in agreement, "Therefore, at least at the beginning of the battle, it is difficult for us to find a suitable opportunity to attack.
Gordon, Ted, Heinie, and the axe user who has not yet arrived, you are heavy weapons, and the main offensive responsibility falls on your shoulders.
Amos, Hayata, the sword is special, and the attack power is between light and heavy weapons. You can act according to the situation.
The rest of us light weapon users, let's focus on covering first."
"I am a light weapon?" Hunting horn user Ferdie pointed at himself.
"You just think of yourself as one."
"So when can I get rid of it?" Heinie seemed to have heard nothing, just kneading her hands excitedly.
Everyone looked helplessly at the lady whose muscles squeezed into her brain.
To be honest, it is really difficult for such a pure "reckless man" to be promoted. The fact that she can do this can only prove that she is excellent in all aspects except her brain.
"It depends on the effect of the bombardment. Let's do this. Try to clear the small monsters first. It will also charge your shield axe. When I call you to go up, you can rush up." Xia Zuo said helplessly.
"I understand!"
"Wait for the artillery to break the armor, the heavy weapon swordsman will attack, and the light weapon swordsman will provide cover. Is this roughly right?" Gordon confirmed.
"Well, that's basically it. If the situation is specific, we may need to adapt on the spot." Xia Zuo agreed with Gordon's summary, "Does anyone have other ideas?"
Evelyn and Pig Chop looked at each other, and the former raised his hand and said, "Before, Pig Chop and I discussed the use of Dragon Killer Carbon. I always feel that fixed arrangement is not the best way, so we have a proposal.
Is it possible to fix the Dragon Killer Carbon to the Old Mountain Dragon during the battle, and then have the shooter shoot it from a long distance."
"Hmm? Good idea." Xia Zuo looked over, "Using Dragon Killer Carbon to blast the Old Mountain Dragon is more reliable than chopping it with a knife. Have you thought about how to fix it specifically?"
"Not yet." Pig Chop scratched his beard, "Make a lanyard and hang it on the raised part of the Old Mountain Dragon's shell?"
"It always feels unreliable." Gordon muttered.
"Indeed, meow, and the amount of dragon-killing carbon is very limited. I hope to use it after the defense of the old mountain dragon is broken. It is best to stick it near the wound to detonate meow!"
"How about this? Get a short spear or something, fix the dragon-killing carbon on it, and then insert it into the wound." Gordon suggested.
"It seems to work meow."
"Short spear?" Ted scratched his big chin with a beard, "I have a better idea, pork chop, follow me!"
As he said, he rushed out of the box with pork chop without waiting for pork chop to jump off the seat.
"Meow meow meow?!"
The hunters looked at each other.
Just at this time, the meal was delivered, and everyone quickly finished it and filled their stomachs.
Ten minutes later, Ted ran back with pork chop, and the expressions of one person and one cat were very excited.
"There is a way meow!"
"What do you mean?" Gordon looked at them curiously.
"I took Pork Chop to the training ground and showed it my new weapon!" Ted turned sideways and showed the weapon behind him that didn't match his temperament.
It was a slender and gorgeous purple gunpowder.
Xia Zuo stared at it, "I've never seen a gunpowder before. It looks like it's made of spider-female material?"
"Yes! I was promoted to six stars by hunting that guy, and then I asked the craftsmen from the Western Continent to make this one, um, 'Lady Candle'."
"Hahaha! What a weird name hahaha!" Heinie laughed and clapped her hands on the table.
Ted's face was a little dark.
Xia Zuo made a gesture to let Heinie be quiet, and signaled Ted to continue.
"The gunpowder in the Western Continent is a little different from ours. It has a special device called 'Dragon Hang Cannon', which can drive a metal stake more than half a meter long, as thick as an arm, and containing gunpowder into the monster's body while stabbing the monster to delay the detonation."
After listening to Ted's explanation, everyone understood that compared to short spears and the like, this kind of stake driven by mechanical and gunpowder power was obviously more reliable.
Ted added: "What Pork Chops means is that we can find craftsmen to custom-make some solid, non-explosive stakes, and then use ropes to hang the dragon-killing carbon on the top of the stakes.
In this way, when Longhang Pao drives the spikes into Laoshanlong's wound, the dragon-killing carbon can be firmly hung on Laoshanlong's wound. "
Heineye looked at Ted's cannon and said, "If you don't understand, just ask, why can't you just put that dragon-killing carbon into the spike instead of the original gunpowder?"
"The charge is not enough, and the dragon-killing carbon is too unstable. It may accidentally explode while firing the dragon cannon, killing Ted."
"oh oh."
Xia Zuo said with satisfaction: "Very good, in this way, the artillery breaks the armor, the heavy weapon swordsmen cut the wounds, and then Ted fixes the dragon-killing carbon, and the shooter detonates it from a long distance.
With the power of the dragon-killing carbon, even Laoshanlong would be unable to bear it. At worst, it would explode a few more times. "
"There is another question." Evelin raised her hand and said: "We have to find a shooter who is skilled enough to detonate the dragon-killing carbon as soon as Ted runs out of the explosion range, so as not to knock the spikes off and waste precious destroyers. Dragon Carbon.”
"Indeed, it is not easy to accurately hit the dragon-killing carbon that moves with the body of Laoshan Dragon under the interference of countless small monsters."
Feidi frowned and asked: "Senior Xia Zuo, there are no top shooters participating in this battle. Are there any suitable candidates in Minagard?"
"Minagarde has two high-ranking archers. They are both bow hunters, so they are not suitable for detonation work. Moreover, they are currently performing other tasks and are not in the city of Minagarde.
An excellent archer, and a light and heavy crossbow user. Well, I almost forgot, there is an old guy. "
Xia Zuo looked up at Ted and said with a smile: "Ask your father if his weapons have been well maintained recently?"
