Chapter 188 Hedgehog-Like Fortress
The orcs on the opposite side were a little confused. They didn't expect the firepower in front to be so strong. But these orcs still held the big stones in their hands and continued to run towards this side.
After so many battles, the orcs also had new fighting methods and their own set of methods for siege. Many orcs put down the big wooden sticks in their hands and turned to weapons such as stones.
Using their own powerful strength, they directly threw the stones as cannonballs, so that they could attack the soldiers on the city wall. On one side, some people threw stones to cover, and some orcs directly climbed up on the protrusions on the city wall. It was in this barbaric way that the orcs did not know how many cities they had captured during this period.
But later, humans had pneumatic cannons and pea cannons, and the range and power were stronger than their own stones, which made the orcs have no way. Originally, the road here was controlled by the orcs.
But this time, they found that a city wall appeared in this place. The orcs, who still thought that the city wall was the same as the original one, began to test here relying on their large number.
But the wild beastmen didn't know why the opponent's attack could still cover their surroundings even though they were clearly at the cordon. The wild beastmen's brains were not very good, and they simply stopped thinking about these things. So the wild beastmen rushed over here frantically. After all, it was not their style not to fight back when they were hit.
"Haha, these wild beastmen have also gained experience from being hit by artillery shells, and they can actually use skirmish formations."
In fact, the wild beastmen didn't have any teams at first, but later they found that the more dispersed they were, the better they could deal with pneumatic cannons and pea cannons, so this formation that seemed like a real skirmish formation appeared.
Unfortunately, their weapons were still not good, and the formation was still not dispersed enough. It seemed to be instinct, always making some wild beastmen want to gather together, as if only in this way could they be truly protected.
Chi Nan didn't care about these, and gave full play to the true power of his fortress. This time, Chi Nan didn't dare to fire in unison, but dispersed the pneumatic cannons and attacked in batches, with only a few pneumatic cannons launching attacks each time. Although the interval between each attack was very short, it was even hard to feel.
However, this time interval dispersed the huge recoil, and it became very easy for the city wall to withstand it. "No wonder there is always a little interval between the firing time of those large ships."
Feeling that although the ground was still rumbling and shaking, the city wall was very stable, Chi Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This proves that there is no problem with his city wall, and the power of the shells can be fully exerted.
Chi Nan himself felt that the blood in his heart began to burn. Pieces of powerful shells fell from the sky, which were more terrifying than ordinary pneumatic shells. Almost every time they landed, the wild orcs would suffer losses.
Not long after, the wild orcs' team was successfully reduced by a large amount, and now the wild orcs also felt something was wrong. Many wild orcs turned their heads and fled madly into the distance.
"No, it still won't work. Shrapnel attacks are too ineffective against wild orcs. Instead, the bouncing of the solid bullet in the middle is more effective. Let's study this direction in the future. By the way, there are many different types of shells. Let's just get them all out. Anyway, my pneumatic cannons have a large ammunition capacity."
That's right, the pneumatic cannons that rely on the entire city wall are actually integrated into the city wall by Chi Nan. There are some special spaces inside the city wall, all for providing shells for the pneumatic cannons.
It can be loaded from the outside, and it can also use the ceiling on the city wall to absorb the power of sunlight and grow by itself.
And each pneumatic cannon is no longer only capable of loading five shells, but like the pea cannon, it can store twenty. Maybe this is not much, but it is enough for general battles.
After all, these wild orcs don't know how to deal with these cannons at all.
"Too, it's really amazing. With such firepower, let alone these 10,000 wild orcs, even if the opposite 200,000 wild orcs come together, they are not our opponents." After Mo Cha stood up, he saw this disaster-like scene, and his jaw was about to drop in surprise. In the back, those nobles who had originally fled finally stopped.
Because they finally learned about the situation here through their soldiers. For their previous choices, all the nobles who fled were full of regrets. It would have been great if they had stayed just now.
If this left a bad impression on Chi Nan, his territory would suffer in the future.
But what they didn't see was that those soldiers who didn't run away with them had some gloating and resentment in their eyes. The soldiers were not fools, and of course they knew what fate they would have if they were left behind.
Originally, these soldiers were ready to sacrifice, but who knew that after a sudden turn of events, they didn't even have a chance to fight.
The bombardment in front still didn't stop. Although Chi Nan didn't dare to fire all the shells in one breath, in order to scare the other side's wild orcs, he could only use saturation coverage strikes.
The result was that although the orcs eventually escaped, out of the ten thousand orcs, not even a thousand were able to escape. The rest turned into meat paste on the ground or wailed on the ground.
Among them, there was also a wild orc who had reached the black iron level, and he was also broken into pieces under Chi Nan's attack. In the opposite team, roars rang out. Chi Nan watched from afar. It seemed that it was the leader of the wild orcs at the black iron level. He kept roaring angrily at his side, and I don't know what he was saying.
Chi Nan sneered and raised a middle finger, regardless of whether the other party could understand it. At this time, you must not admit defeat.
So the two sides looked at each other, and after a long time, the wild orcs on the opposite side finally admitted defeat. In the minds of the wild orcs, if humans can produce such firepower, there must be more pneumatic cannons and more people.
If they knew that they could capture this fortress with just one more wave like this, I don't know if they would still think so. In the end, the wild orc leaders commanded their teams, retreated a distance, and continued to walk eastward.
"It's strange. There is obviously a big river in the east. Is there any way for them to pass through it?"
I have heard before that a few wild orcs are migrating to the east, but this huge river is not so easy to cross. Chi Nan couldn't help but want to see what these wild orcs wanted to do.
