Chapter 2418: Emperor's Hammer

Heavy weapons arrived one after another, and large forces arrived one after another!

The South China Army has a good tradition, and no one can be idle. The vanguard prepared fortresses, roads and warehouses, and established battalions for the follow-up troops so that they can move in.

As soon as they arrived, the counterweight catapult was assembled and immediately bombarded various projectiles into the city.

The counterweight trebuchet is powerful and can knock projectiles into the city, putting everyone in the city in danger, not knowing what will fall from the sky, and let them meet their god.

Smoke, fire, and screams in the city didn't actually kill a few people, but morale inevitably fell.

Therefore, the South China Army has always been very willing to attack the city, willing to change the silver dollar into smoke. In the words of the emperor: "Even if the silver dollar is wasted, as long as it can weaken the enemy's strength, it is good!"

You must be willing to spend money in a war, don't fight if you don't have money!

The heavy artillery is coming!

Thor's Hammer!

As soon as the cannon with a caliber of 800 mm arrived, it was so powerful that the white-skinned people in the city were so frightened that they did not notice that another cannon was surrounding the castle.

On the **** leading to the castle, a team of men and horses are marching arduously. In front of them are six tall horses dragging a cannon like an iron bull. This cannon is mounted on a thick and strong gun carriage. It has four wheels and two fronts. The wheels are "smaller" and have a diameter of 1.6 meters, and the two rear wheels are larger, with a diameter of 1.8 meters.

Due to the reasonable design, its transfer speed can reach ten miles per hour on flat ground, which is much faster than the speed of Thor’s Hammer of ten miles per day.

The barrel is four meters long and has a staggering 210 mm caliber.

Although it is not as powerful as Thor's Hammer, it is still full of lethality, and is nicknamed by the artillery as "The Emperor's Hammer!"

The official model of "Emperor's Hammer" is H210N1666, "H" is the initial letter of H, "N" is the initial letter of the year, 210 represents the caliber, and 1663 represents the year of finalization.

Six horses are dragging the cannon, and six horses follow behind. This is a backup horse for rotation.

Due to the weight of the gun,

A large group of soldiers assisted around this gun. One soldier was turning the front wheel with his hands. The wheel would not hurt his hands because of the slow moving speed.

There was a non-commissioned officer commanding them. The non-commissioned officer was named Hu Deben. He was not tall and had abnormally developed limbs. He was promoted by a soldier and had rich experience. He carried a spray on his shoulders and said in a deep voice, "Pull together, work harder." !"

Even the people and horses are slowly going uphill.

"Stay steady!"

"Attention, No. 6 is lazy, beat it!" Hoodben greeted the soldier on the other side to ask the horse beside him to raise his spirits.

"Come on, one two three!"

People shouted slogans, and horses were drying up in full swing, the sun was shining hot on the hillside, people and horses were all sweating, people's military uniforms were wet, and the sweat from the horses flowed down like a stream.

An officer who was about the same age as Hoodburn walked by them smoking a cigarette, bursting out bursts of smoke, making the busy soldiers want to smoke, but they could only smoke a cigarette to relax after the cannon was in place. Hu Deben saw that it was Captain Zhang Liyun, his immediate boss, and felt a little sour: "Reading is different!"

Today's soldiers want to be in position, almost all of them graduated from military academies, and they are officers when they come out, and no matter how hard they work, ordinary soldiers are at best non-commissioned officers.

Alas, there is no comparison, people are better than people, so angry!

I was thinking, suddenly I heard someone yelling in front of me: "Stop, stop!"

Hu Deben was agitated, and immediately said to the soldiers in the team: "Stop, stop!"

The team was determined, and the cannon retreated back because of the lack of forward momentum!

All of them hurry up and stabilize their horses, some of them have quick eyes and hands. They take bricks from the backup horse and put the wheels on them, so the cannon stops.

Hoodben stepped forward to check and saw that one of the horses in the front artillery team had fallen to the ground, convulsing in pain.

Captain Zhang Liyun was squatting on the ground to observe. He stood up and said, "I have a heat stroke!"

Horses can also have heatstroke, the sun is violent, and there is no water to drink!

The army is gathering, and the logistics pressure is like a mountain.

Most of the supplies can be carried, but the supply of drinking water is difficult.

The white skins are solid walls and clear fields. Naturally, they must not destroy the water source. They hide all the wells around the castle or throw their feces into them so that they cannot drink, so that the drinking water of our troops is a big problem.

If it were not for the clear map and the ability to find the hidden water source, the engineers would be able to clean up the water source. I am afraid that the army would die of thirst without fighting.

Although there is a lot of drinking water supply, it is still very tight. The supply of drinking water is strictly controlled.

This is the case for people, and horses can’t have a smooth supply of water. Even if the owner tries his best to supply water, it is still insufficient.

After this hard work, the horse suffered a heatstroke in bad luck.

Captain Zhang Liyun greeted him, and a soldier loaded his musket and handed it to Captain Zhang.

The captain took the gun and aimed at the horse's head, and everyone was numb.

The horse is a soldier's comrade-in-arms, but there is no way to relieve his pain, let him die early and get free!

"boom!"

Captain Zhang Liyun finished shooting the gun, returned the gun to his owner, and then greeted: "Sergeant Hu, bring another horse!"

"Yes!" Hood should have said.

He ran to the backup horse not far away, chose a bay red horse, and took its reins to move, but Captain Zhang Liyun shook his head and said, "It's not it, it's the chestnut horse!"

Hu Deben was stunned, and then as instructed to pull a shiny maroon horse forward, he pleaded: "This is a good horse, but it's not old enough~www.wuxiaspot.com~If you let it pull such a heavy cannon, It will be completely useless in the future!"

Earlier, Hood was not willing to use it to drag a cannon, but now it is not.

"It must grow up and take on its responsibilities, and the same is true for us. Maybe we will die tomorrow, but we all have to!" Captain Zhang Liyun snorted: "Execute, Sergeant Hu!"

Be merciful!

Hu Deben sighed and muffled: "Yes, sir!"

He pulled the maroon horse forward and switched to an empty seat in the front team, and the soldiers helped him set the horse!

Then the artillery team moved forward again. The ramp ahead was steep, and men and horses were struggling to advance.

Those poor beasts were whipped by their master, dragging the heavy cannon with all their strength, while the master was still yelling: "Don't be lazy!"

The rope was tight, the chestnut horse staggered and dragged its steps, its hooves slipped, and if it hadn't been for Hoodben to push it back, it would almost fall down!

But Hu Deben also has a task, and he can only leave with a worried expression on his face.

The chestnut horse and his companions tried their best. Finally, the horse's head appeared on the slope, and they dragged the cannon to the designated place!

One after another 210 cannons entered the long-built cannon. The gunners put down the **** on the cannon and the shells were sent to the back of the cannon.

After being ready, the 210 cannons fired one after another.

The sound of the artillery was deafening, and the shells smashed into the Bratislava Castle one by one. The projectiles fired hard hit the city wall, and the city wall trembled at it. So white-skinned was terrified and surprised: Why did the cannon hit so hard?"

Captain Zhang Liyun nodded with satisfaction: "The emperor's small hammer hammers fast, and the breech cannon top!"
