Chapter 549 Hammer Drop (Part 2)
The screams of hell cut through the night sky with the sound of wind, and hit hard on the shield barrier of the Holy See's defense array.
It was like raindrops hitting the window, blooming and bursting on the thick glass, and the combustible material in the missile flowed along the protective shield to the ground and began to burn.
The sound produced by the shell hitting the shield was transmitted inward through the shield, and the sound transmitted to the ears of the banquet guests became as crisp as rain hitting glass.
Heat, optics, kinetic energy, vibration.
Omnidirectional protective barrier.
One 152mm shell failed to shake the shield used by the Holy See to protect the hall, while another landed in a housing area not far away and ignited surrounding houses.
"That's it?"
Eveel looked into the distance, and saw that the other shell was not so accurate, but landed in a room not far from the banquet hall.
The shells loaded with high-explosive combustion parts exchange armor-piercing capabilities for extremely excellent soft-target killing capabilities. When detonated, the shock wave pushes the broken shrapnel and the high-heat fuel thrown inside can kill anyone close to it.
It also ignites all nearby buildings, among which wooden buildings have the best effect.
There was a lot of fire around the landing point, and the soldiers who were not dead around them were hurriedly opening an isolation zone and dragging their comrades who were stained by the flames out to put out the fire.
"A great weapon, but not enough."
Only two shots?
With this intensity of pressure, even twenty such shells could not break the protective barrier they built.
"In terms of power, it is not as good as the dwarf cannons we encountered before, but their projection distance should be much farther than the dwarf cannons." Susie showed a puzzled expression: "But our troops have already controlled It is impossible for them to send heavy artillery to such a place with a surrounding area of several hundred kilometers. "
The dwarf heavy artillery they encountered at that time was a fortress artillery, which could only attack enemies near the fortress... In order to capture the heavy fortress, they assembled a force of 250,000 people and three paladins.
It does get a little tricky if the enemy has a lot of artillery.
It's just tricky.
In the end, the Holy See relied on the human sea offensive and the Holy Mission Brigade organized by the Holy Warriors to smash the fortress from the inside out. The heavy artillery that caused damage to the Holy See is now placed in the museum where they store the trophies.
In that battle, only 50,000 people died, 50,000, acceptable casualties.
But the origin of the artillery...
"The sky..."
Yvel frowned slightly and stared at the shadow cast by the sky.

"Old Zhou, where are you going?"
A half-drunk lord grabbed Zhou Quan's collar.
"I'm going to fucking run! That's a calibration shot!" Zhou Quan grabbed the lord by the collar and dragged him out with him: "A shelling, didn't you see that this was a shelling?"
Serious militarized bombardment.
He didn't know what the Holy See did to provoke these monsters, but now he just wanted to run away.
He just wanted to tell the other believers, but those believers looked at him with a "don't worry" look, as if his reaction was too drastic.
"This may be an ordinary artillery attack, but it may also be an artillery calibration shot!"
Zhou Quan grabbed the collar of the half-drunk lord and continued to roar. Most of the lord's drunkenness suddenly disappeared, and he asked in a daze.
"Wait...what's a calibration shot?"
"The artillery needs a calibration shot before it officially starts attacking. When they get the data of this attack, they will start the real attack. Who knows how many artillery shells the attacker has."
He hasn't eaten pork and hasn't seen a pig running?
But how can this world have the power of modern artillery? The most powerful firepower in the hands of the lords is to use heavy mortars to throw explosive packets at each other's heads. This method of throwing explosive packets at each other is more or less enough to drink up the Vatican group. A pot.
Heavy artillery is a completely different concept.
Zhou Quan gritted his teeth and walked towards the second floor where the high-ranking priest was.
"Forget it, damn it, it's too late to run now."
The bombardment has begun, and you will only be bombed when you go out. Within the triangle area, only the banquet hall has shield defense, and the rest of the area has no defense at all. The Holy See will not build such things as air defense bunkers.
Maybe they'll be building anti-aircraft bunkers by the end of the day.
Maybe this shield can withstand the artillery suppression on the opposite side, which would be the best, but the unlucky guy outside the barrier... must remind the Holy See to evacuate the people outside. As long as they spread far enough, the artillery bombardment from the opposite side will not cause much damage. .
If he couldn't bear it... Zhou Quan didn't dare to think about that scene.
He knew what happened at the Battle of Verdun.

"Calibration firing is completed, a base number of high-explosive ammunition, six rapid fire rounds for each gun group!"
The loaders of the ten 152 artillery pieces on the deck began to put the crimson warheads coated with high-explosive incendiary bombs into the gun barrels. They turned the threaded gun doors to lock them. The closed gun cabins would ensure that all the explosive pressure acted on the bombs. physically.
On the side of each heavy artillery are a large number of ammunition boxes stored with straw as a buffer, ranging from ordinary high-explosive bombs to high-explosive incendiary bombs used to ignite and create flames, as well as solid armor-piercing bombs specially used to break armor. .
The artillery fired in unison, and the end of the long-barreled artillery spit out a beam of fire that disappeared in a tenth of a second. The recoil of the heavy artillery fire caused the deck to tremble.
You don't need to see the target to unleash firepower. You only need to adjust the gun to the appropriate position according to the data on the firing table and pull the trigger.
Send the enemy into the sea of fire outside the field of vision.
