Chapter 549 Hammer Drop (Part 2)
The scream of hell cut through the night sky with the sound of wind, and hit the shield barrier of the Vatican's defense array.
It was like raindrops hitting the window, bursting on the thick glass, and the combustibles in the shell flowed along the shield and began to burn on the ground.
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 had become as clear as rain on glass.
Heat, optics, kinetic energy, vibration.
Omnidirectional protective barrier.
A 152mm shell did not shake the shield used by the Vatican to protect the ballroom, while another one landed in a house not far away and ignited the surrounding houses.
"Is that so?"
Yveline looked into the distance, and the other shell was not so accurate, but fell in a house not far away from the banquet hall.
The shells loaded with high-explosive combustion parts exchanged armor-piercing ability for extremely excellent soft target killing ability. When detonated, the shock wave pushed the broken shrapnel and the high-temperature fuel thrown out from the inside to kill anyone close to it.
And all nearby buildings were ignited, among which wooden buildings had the best effect.
The fire was blazing around the landing point, and the soldiers around who were not dead were hurriedly opening up a quarantine belt to drag their companions who were stained with flames out to put out the fire.
"It's a powerful weapon, but it's not enough."
Only two rounds?
With this intensity of pressure, twenty rounds of such shells can't break the protective barrier they built.
"In terms of power, it is not as good as the dwarven cannons we encountered before, but their projection distance should be much farther than that of the dwarven cannons." Susie showed a puzzled expression: "But our troops have controlled the surrounding area of hundreds of kilometers, and they can't send heavy artillery to such a place."
The dwarven 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 5 paladins.
If the enemy has a large number of artillery, it is indeed a bit tricky.
It's just tricky.
The Holy See finally smashed the fortress from the inside out with the human wave offensive and the Holy Brigade organized by the paladins. The heavy artillery that caused damage to the Holy See is now placed in the museum where they use to preserve the spoils.
That battle only killed 50,000 people, 50,000, acceptable injuries.
But the source of this artillery...
"The sky..."
Yves frowned slightly, staring at the shadow cast by the sky.

"Old Zhou, where are you going?"
A half-drunk leader grabbed Zhou Quan by the collar.
"You're fucking going to run! That's calibration shooting!" Zhou Quan grabbed the leader by the collar and dragged him out with him: "Bombardment, can't you see that this is bombardment?"
A real militarized bombardment.
He didn't know what the church had done to provoke these monsters, but he just wanted to run away now.
He just wanted to tell other believers, but those believers looked at him with a "don't worry" look, as if his reaction was too intense.
"This could be an ordinary artillery attack, but it could also be artillery calibration shooting!"
Zhou Quan grabbed the collar of the half-drunk leader and continued to roar. The leader's drunkenness suddenly disappeared half, and he asked in a daze.
"Wait... What is calibration shooting?"
"Before the artillery starts to attack, it needs a calibration shooting. When they get the data of this attack, they will start the real attack. God knows how many shells the attacker has."
Has he never eaten pork and never seen pigs run?
But how could there be a force in this world that uses artillery? The strongest firepower in their hands is to use heavy mortars to throw explosive packs on each other's heads. This method of throwing explosive packs at each other is enough to make the people of the Holy See drink a pot.
Heavy artillery is a completely different concept.
Zhou Quan bit his tongue and walked towards the place where the high-level priests on the second floor were.
"Forget it, damn it, it's too late to run now."
The bombardment has begun. If you go out, you will just be bombed. Only the banquet hall in the corner area has shield defense. The rest of the area has no defense at all. The Holy See will not build air-raid shelters.
Maybe they will repair the air defense shelter after today.
Maybe this shield can withstand the suppression of the artillery on the opposite side, which would be the best, but the unlucky people outside the barrier... must remind the Holy See to evacuate the people outside. As long as they are far enough apart, the artillery fire on the opposite side will not cause any damage.
If it can't withstand... Zhou Quan dare not think about that scene.
He knows what happened in the Battle of Orden.

"Calibration shooting completed, one base high-explosive ammunition, six rapid shots for each gun group!"
The loaders of the ten 152 guns on the deck began to put the crimson warheads coated with high-explosive incendiary bombs into the barrels, turned the threaded gun door to lock it, and the closed gun compartment would ensure that all the explosion pressure acted on the projectile body.
On the side of each heavy artillery piece, there were boxes of ammunition stored with straw as a buffer, ranging from ordinary high-explosive shells, high-explosive incendiary shells used to ignite flames, and solid armor-piercing shells specifically used to break armor.
The artillery fire roared, and the end of the long-barreled artillery spewed out a beam of fire that lasted one-tenth of a second. The recoil of the heavy artillery when it fired 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 out of sight.
