Chapter 322 Roar
Front line, 220 meters away from the fortress.
The line infantry's muskets could not reach it, and the arcane focus generator was temporarily silent. The infantry troops of the territory were racing against time to build temporary equipment for siege.
The infantry took off the special engineer shovel from his body and began to dig on the ground. The shovel with a flashing iron gray color quickly dug out a tunnel. The infantry commanded the steam machine soldier to use his left arm to put the black steel barrel in the pit, and constantly asked the other party to adjust the angle.
The gripping structure left by the steam machine soldier's left arm is specially designed to assist the infantry, enhancing the functionality of the structure itself, so that it can help the infantry quickly build a usable fortification.
What level can the strongest siege firepower that the infantry can carry in this era reach.
Artillery.
It has a barrel, propellant, and charge.
Then measure the angle of the steel barrel and bury it in the soil, and fix it in the ground in a semi-buried manner to serve as a barrel. Place a small explosive pack at the bottom of the barrel, pull out the fuse and cover it with a wooden board, and place another pack with more explosives on the board.
Artillery, mortar, mortar.
Explosive pack ejector/launcher.
Rough, simple, and poorly accurate.
It has a series of shortcomings.
But a 20-kilogram explosive pack can be launched/thrown out in a specified direction and land near the targeted target. The 20-kilogram explosive will completely destroy everything around the landing point.
Ji Lin has handed over the shooting angle and approximate distance to each platoon-level unit under his command-the target is a fixed bastion, and they will not deviate too much no matter how they shoot.
A 20-kilogram explosive pack can effectively kill the target no matter where it hits in the city. The explosive pack filled with crystal ore explosives can cause fatal damage to the enemy within a radius of five to ten meters every time it explodes.
The range is between 200 and 300 meters. The sudden fire and sound when firing are simply the best way to attract the opponent's attention, if there is still an arcane focus generator in operation.
The still-operating explosive pack launcher is the best target. The flesh cannot resist the power of war equipment.
The airship has approached the target to a distance of 400 meters above the heads of the territory infantry, and continuously poured its firepower on the towers of the castle.
Six artillery cruisers, they must maintain the suppression of the line infantry and war equipment on the walls and towers.
Such continuous firepower suppression of the air force can last for another hour, and then the ammunition will run out.
The infantry on the front line needs to start the offensive mission within this hour. Ji Lin's order is that all 42 fixed explosive pack launchers on the entire line must be ready within 20 minutes.
The infantry worked hard to dig in the shadows and piled up the explosive packs sent from the rear.
They were waiting for the tracer bullets that appeared on the command ship to guide the artillery fire, waiting to start the fire attack.
Ignite the fuse and destroy the fortification.

"It's terrible, why don't we use the flying spell to escape."
The human mage listened to the sound of the shells hitting the wall, the sound of broken stone chips hitting the ground, and the hurried shouting of the soldiers.
It was really strange that the sound of these shells hitting the stone wall was unexpectedly close to the sound of water drops hitting the stone bricks.
He looked at the line infantry in the distance who were hit by stones or lead bullets falling from the air. They wailed and wanted to ask for help, sighing. Looking at the arcane focus generator with a broken corner not far away, it broke a part of the wooden structure due to the collision during the descent.
But it can still be used. They rescued twenty arcane focus generators... twenty, a lot.
The advance team only needed to activate less than ten arcane focus generators to annihilate a local force. The arcane light stream they condensed cut through the enemy's array like a hot knife sweeping through butter. The arcane focuser's all-round attack means that there is no fear of the charging cavalry. No matter which direction the enemy attacks from, they will be swept by the precise and deadly light stream.
He wants to escape, and the mage can escape from the sky. As long as they leave behind more than a thousand soldiers in the camp, they can escape, as long as they leave behind more than a hundred elven guards, they can escape, as long as they leave behind their supplies and combat equipment in the camp, they can escape.
"Take advantage of the fact that the other party has not launched a general attack, so that at least the key information of the enemy can be brought back, so that the portal base has time to react."
The human mage looked at the elven mage beside him with a trace of disgust, coughed lightly and added a sentence.
It was as if they had fallen into a trap that the other party had prepared long ago, and the other party was waiting for the moment when they lost their mobility and were besieged in the castle.
"No, the generals of the empire will not abandon their troops and retreat. We still have elven guards. The auxiliary mages are already reinforcing the city walls, and the war mages are helping them repair them together."
The elven mage gritted his teeth and rejected this proposal that could save his life, and his hand holding the command staff became more and more powerful.
"As long as we hold on until daytime, there will be a turning point. Other mages have already contacted the portal and sent out a distress signal."
A turning point...
The human mage leaned against the wall, listening to the ticking sound of the artillery hitting the stone wall, and felt a little tired under this orderly white noise. In this one-hour battle, he felt more tired than in the previous fifty-five years of his life.
We are all bastards who invaded other worlds, how dare we expect a turning point and integrity.
Looking up, a light source like a deep blue meteor flashed through the small sky inside the high wall, and directly hit the largest core building in this temporary castle.
Let everyone see it, see this tracer bullet with dazzling light.
Like the arcane light bullet released by a beginner, the missile hit the stone wall due to unstable control, and collided with the hard dark edge.
"Pop."
The burned ammunition collided and turned into debris in mid-air, bringing an indescribable calm to the people in the castle.
Sound, continuous sound is approaching.
It is not the sound of being hit, but the sound of firing, very close to them...
The dull sound echoed in the barrel, and spread through the air to the ears of people two hundred meters away.
It will repeat a second time, with a more violent and fierce attitude, repeating a second time in front of the attacked.
The sound of the second explosion.
This time it is no longer water drops hitting the stone surface.
The boulder fell, smashing the solid ice surface, and the ice mixed with liquid droplets burst. The broken rock bricks and gray-brown muddy dust were scattered in the sky, and the shock wave swept across the ground and stirred up a continuous dust.
75 mm is not enough, solid projectiles always have their limitations.
Destroying everything on the path with destructive force is the purpose of the birth of artillery, and it is the appeal of every commander to the weapon of artillery.
The human mage turned his head and heard the pointed ears standing beside him wanting to say something. He waved his hands and made the mage robe fly.
His handsome face was distorted by the words, and the human mage saw fear, panic, and helplessness on his face.
What was he saying.
The war mages built mage armor and hid in the corner. The mud walls used to slow down the shock wave extended and grew.
But why, he couldn't hear the sound outside.
It's so sad.
The human wizard sighed softly, just like the time of the Empire Unification War, when magic swept away all the old things of the past.
Invading another world is a bad idea.
It's like a pantomime, and he and they are all actors in the pantomime.
The broken and collapsed stone wall is the curtain.
Dancing in the yellow flames that suddenly rose on the stage.
