Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality - Chapter 596
c599 Residual Ashes (III)
“What day is it today?”
The cavalry captain bit his charcoal pen and made notes in his pocket notebook.
There is no sunlight in the world, so it is difficult to distinguish between day and night. The only way to determine whether the outside world has entered daytime is through the dim light revealed by the distant skyline.
Once it’s rainy, they can’t even tell the difference between day and night.
Due to the large number of biological and industrial activities on the sky island, a large amount of water vapor can often accumulate in the secondary cloud layer, causing the area directly below the sky island to be quite humid.
“Carry out suppressive artillery fire on the defense line area, and assist the resource transportation team to recover newly discovered small rare mineral veins.”
This is their mission.
A brief bombardment will plunge the Holy See garrison into a state of chaos, and they can take advantage of this time to quickly recover rare resources close to the Holy See front line. Monster infantry such as Minotaurs and Giant Stags with very good physical strength are dispatched at this time. Used.
They will use their abundant physical strength to quickly excavate rare resources, and then send the resources back to the nearest lord supply station across dozens of kilometers. The supply station stationed on the front line will collect the resources collected by the search team and transport them back to There is a rock wall defense line one kilometer away.
The object of war is resources, and the lords only need rare resources to continue to emerge on this land.
The cavalry team rushed to the first position before the scheduled artillery suppression time. Although about 15% of the mobile cavalry was lost due to various problems, these cavalry were able to be replenished…the problem was not big.
녦 to accept 놅 casualties.
“Are there any more Poison Wind Cannonballs?”
The cavalry captain turned and looked at the cavalry behind him who was responsible for ammunition statistics. The latter took the horses to the last five rat troll mortar groups in the team and came back with the data.
“We brought ten rounds of Poison Wind artillery shells and ninety rounds of conventional mortar shells. There is no problem with the artillery shells in this operation.”
Signal Cavalry salutes.
If 놊 had monster infantry 놅, they wouldn’t be able to carry so many 놅 shells and 120mm꿗 mortars around.
“Okay, save it, we still need to bombard two areas.”
For mortars, in order to solve the lack of rapid fire support, ground lords used seamless steel pipe modifications to provide rapid support firepower at the company and platoon levels.
In a low-tech environment, although the lord can make do with a rifle, he is not qualified to produce a barrel artillery with a longer range or a long-range shooting. The barrel and mechanical components of the barrel artillery are airtight enough to fire. Kill all the ground lords.
There is a joke in the 21st century that there are fewer countries that can produce heavy artillery and corresponding artillery shells than those that can build aircraft, and much fewer.
The use of magic arcane cannons for the cavalry team seems a bit too extravagant. This thing is cheap to make… and at least one spellcaster needs to accompany the army to use the arcane cannon.
Taken together, as a modern version of the mortar, the mortar has naturally become the first choice of the ground lords.
Plenty of firepower, low cost, and low learning cost.
The cast iron shell, the impact fuse and the purchased explosives were combined by the craftsmen to become a standard 80-120mm mortar shell.
The biggest technical difficulty of mortars lies in the shells rather than the barrels. The production problem of mortar shells lies in their 꿗놅 charges… As for high-quality explosives, the ground lords can purchase them from the sky lords 꿛 without any restrictions.
The cavalry stopped and set up camp, and the originally silent team suddenly became busy and began to prepare for artillery fire on the gray-black land.
Several cavalrymen unloaded the iron cans from their horses, and one cavalryman unfolded a shriveled balloon on the ground and fixed the tether to the ground with a long nail.
The cavalrymen were lying on the ground and tinkering. After pouring powder into the tin can, they immediately connected the shriveled balloon to the tin can with a rubber hose. The shriveled balloon quickly expanded and turned into a small airship.
The bombardment observation balloon was launched.
The Rat Troll unloaded the long-barreled mortar, and the cavalrymen assembled the mortar’s simple fixed frame step by step. After the assembly was completed, the Rat Troll fixed the barrel with 꿛 to improve stability.
Rat trolls are not very intelligent, but they only exist as transportation and loading tools. It is enough for them to be able to understand the simple instructions of the cavalry.
Can you always count on rat trolls to maintain and assemble mortars?
The cavalry captain watched the observation balloon gradually lift into the air… and tied himself to the sounding balloon. He would be able to guide the direction of the ground bombardment very well.
As soon as the shelling started, the Holy See troops in the trenches would hide like turtles, daring not to let the troops out for several days.
The cavalrymen drew 120mm mortar shells from the crouching rat trolls, and screwed the impact fuse into the threaded groove at the front end.
Like aerial bombs, mortars also use separate fuses and projectiles. The lords hope that this thing will explode brilliantly during transportation.
A special kind of cannonball was placed aside by the cavalry alone. The shell of this kind of cannonball was painted with a ring with dark green lines.
“Captain, the poisonous wind cannon needs…you to activate it. After all, we don’t have a caster with us.”
‘Poison Wind Cannonball’
Without magic, humans can only put explosives into mortars, and the lords can only put explosives in them… They have the ability to put more powerful things into them as shell charges.
For example, if you put explosive thorns in the plant system, a small thorny area will be formed when it lands to block the enemy or generate damage; the necromancer system will be happy to launch the infected bomb as a charge and kill nearby soldiers with the undead wasteland; the emissary system is more traditional, and will release high-temperature flames, frost, and flash bombs as backup bombs when it lands.
For example, the infamous poison gas bomb used for regional blockade in World War I.
The poison wind bomb that has been enhanced by magic is a little better than the traditional poison gas. After all, the killing effect of poison gas in the original world can only be described as better than nothing, and the biggest effect is to cause some damage to morale.
The lords improved it to be more contagious after the modulation. After the bombardment, the Vatican troops needed a lot of time to clean up the residual poison in the trenches, and they just used this time to recycle resources.
One side used alchemical poison traps, and the other side used poison wind mortars. It can be said that it was a courtesy.
