Chapter 1276: The artillery strikes

In fact, the principle of modern artillery is not complicated. The firing pin on the breech block hits the primer of the artillery and ignites the propellant barrel. The cartridge burns and pushes the projectile forward, starting to spin and accelerate along the rifle.

When the shell is pushed out of the barrel by the super high pressure, it begins to autobiography rapidly, and flies forward at a speed of thousands of meters per second.

Excess propellant sprayed out of the barrel, huge flames soared into the sky, air waves roared from the muzzle, and an artillery shell flew to the target in such an overwhelming manner.

The development of the earth's civilization for hundreds of years still continues this simple principle, but it keeps increasing the value of each link based on this principle.

Promote materials science and metallurgical forging technology, and finally make the barrel stronger, which can allow the entire artillery to withstand greater chamber pressure and increase the range of the artillery.

Research chemistry, improve the burning performance of gunpowder, make the propellant of the artillery more efficient, increase the power of the artillery shell by ten times a hundred times, and make the artillery more powerful and have a longer range.

Precision machining makes the entire artillery more accurate and has smaller errors. In this way, the entire artillery can maintain a more stable state when firing, in order to achieve higher accuracy.

Modern artillery can easily launch cannonballs to enemy positions 20 kilometers away, and the explosive power of each cannonball is enough to shake the opponent's position.

Because there is no such high war requirement, the self-propelled howitzer unit of the Ailan Hill Empire is still using old weapons and equipment until now.

The old howitzer does not have an automatic loading machine and relies on manual loading, so the rate of fire is relatively slow.

There is no way, who can reduce the demand for war, and most of the defense budget has been taken away by more new troops...?

Even so, the 155mm caliber self-propelled howitzer of the Ailanhill Empire is still the latest and strongest and most standard war weapon. Its roar represents the will of the Ailanhill Empire!

The fuze of each shell is verified by the puppet on the automatic production line, and each one is produced with standard parts according to the most standard process, and the pass rate is close to 100%.

Robots are not lazy, so they can guarantee the absolute quality of the product. Whether it is the raw material or the production process? No problems will arise.

Products produced by such a standard assembly line? It is reassuring, and it also makes the enemy desperate. Every cannon? Every cannonball? Even every gunpowder is a product that has been strictly inspected and qualified. Such a war machine? Every detail is perfect.

With the command of the gunner, the muzzle of this long-barreled 155mm self-propelled howitzer expelled a huge flame. For a while, the entire artillery position began to vibrate. The sky was covered by the blowing dust.

At the same time, another howitzer next door also spewed flames, and the flames rolled in the air until it was covered by dust? It was still expanding and jumping.

Three 155mm caliber howitzer battalions? A total of 54 howitzers roared in turn, firing 54 artillery shells into the enemy's position in one go. That power can definitely make opponents doubt life.

The Rock Empire soldiers stationed on the city wall didn't know that they were already ten kilometers away. Someone had already started attacking them.

These soldiers still stood loyally on the city wall, holding their spears? Looking at the woods in the distance. Under their feet is a heavy city wall, and outside the city wall is a dense tent next to each other.

Approximately 15,000 people from the Holy See’s Holy See are stationed here, and there are also 10,000 soldiers from the Flame Empire who have come to help.

With such a huge army? With the weapon of the Heavenly God Sword that destroys the world, the Rock Empire can be said to be strong and powerful this time...

"Yo..." The long and sharp sound of breaking the wind? It made a Rock Empire soldier standing guard frowned? He heard the sound getting closer and closer? But he didn't know what could make such a strange sound.

He listened, until a dark shadow suddenly fell beside him and hit the wall under his feet with a muffled noise.

Before he looked down to see what had fallen, the collision fuse ignited the high explosives in the shells.

The explosion engulfed the soldier standing guard at once, and then the rapidly expanding airflow swept through countless shrapnel and gravel, instantly shredding all the objects in the surrounding road.

The ballista made of thick wood was directly cut into pieces of wood by the airflow, and with the metal shrapnel inserted on it, it rammed and made the soldiers at the head of the city turn their backs on their backs.

The soldiers who were directly hit basically had nothing left, and the soldiers who were a little closer now had only their limbs and arms.

And these remaining limbs and broken arms are now turned into flying fragments that kill and wound other people, sweeping the soldiers farther away.

The thin breastplate was easily penetrated by shrapnel, and blood was splashed everywhere. The screams were endless, but in the next second they were covered by another explosion.

"Boom!" Another explosion sounded in the city. The shell suddenly blew up the roof of the entire building. The brick wall collapsed in the explosion. All the soldiers stationed in the house were buried under the rubble. .

"Fire from the sky! Fire from the sky!" An officer looked desperately at the scene where a section of the city wall was hit by a shell and then collapsed in the explosion, muttering words that only he could hear, and he staggered. As if lost his soul.

There are many more soldiers who are frightened by the sight in front of them. Some of them even dared to kneel on the ground and keep begging for forgiveness, asking the gods to forgive themselves.

However, it was clear that no one could hear their prayers. The three artillery battalions ten kilometers away were continuing to reload and fire at this moment, and there was no intention to stop.

The whole city was covered by artillery fire, and some walls were directly hit by artillery shells and collapsed into fragments of ruined walls.

The earth was shaking, and as soon as the cry sounded, it was suppressed by the explosion. The whole city seems to be ruining, and there are scenes like **** everywhere.

The soldiers of the Arrant Empire back then, under the attack of the old artillery of the Ailan Hill Empire, they only persisted for a long time. Now these poor people of the Rock Empire are facing the 155mm caliber howitzer that has long been different from what it used to be. , Naturally collapse faster.

A shell screamed and landed in the camp of the Holy Cleric Army, and it exploded and lifted several tents. The Crusaders who were singing and dancing and celebrating the victory a moment ago flew into the sky in the next second.
