Chapter 6: Sudden Change (10)

"I don't like to let it go half way. You must be persuaded. Even if you don't explode the chamber, how far can you hit with half the gunpowder? Don't be like the daytime, not rubbing the baron with a lead for a long time, it's all a joke. "

"Oh, don't worry about this." Jorge Lumeng smiled and showed an annoyingly proud expression:

"Didn't you just say it? This thing is a cannon anyway, and it is still a long-barreled cannon that can hit a long distance, which is different from a musket played by one person. Don't mess with it, my little brother, let them toss as they please. , As long as the cannonball can fly to the siege camp, it will be... hey, hey, what are you talking about, what do you think?"

"I'm looking at the watchtower." Little Albert replied very honestly:

"Second brother, didn't you just say that the ignition is switched to a long medicine twist? They seem to be playing with this."

"Huh?" Ruoerri's expression changed, and he turned his head in a panic."Really! The things must be assembled. They're going to make a shot!" He slapped his thigh, his eyes twirled, and only a few seconds later he landed on the ammunition carriage:

"No time to talk to you. If something happens later, I'll have to find out the spare barrel and run to carry it—what's the matter with you? Brother, plug your ears yourself, see you!"

He couldn't even wait for the voice to fall, so he hurried to the wall ladder.Little Albert didn't have time to worry about this. He learned the lesson from the last time and consciously shrank behind the shield, and by the way, he also shielded his head with a shield to avoid being affected by flying debris.[Although the renovations are not reliable...but it's better not to have trouble.I will not chant with rose rosary, but I promise to pray sincerely, the one above, please bless!

While he was praying, Gerard Chevalier enthusiastically raised the torch and "swished" the gray-white medicine.The fuse burned very fast, spraying sparks and rushing into the observation deck quickly, but the reaction was slow and couldn't catch up.

The observation deck was about four feet from the top of the wall, and no one had ever entered after the battle started.There was no living thing inside, only a few goose feather arrows shot by a longbowman, and four thick iron pipes bound by wooden bars.In the event of a bombing accident, the scope of damage may be limited to wooden buildings, but the power of gunpowder is fickle, who can tell?

Little Albert curled up behind the shield in fright and waited for the four "bangs" that followed the landing, or the shocking "bang" that sounded all at once.Unexpectedly, after the medicine was burned to the end, there was only a "bang!" sound on it, which sounded very dull, without any momentum.

The yellow flame flashed in front of him, although it was much brighter than the torch, but compared to the matchlock gun, it was not much stronger.For this "shelling", Albert Jr. felt both fortunate and disappointed at the same time.[With such a small movement, can you really hit the siege camp?If you fly halfway and fall to the ground, wouldn’t it make the baron’s family soldiers morale-]

"Okay! I'm hit!!"

Big Paul suddenly applauded and laughed, making little Albert shiver.Starting with this, militiamen, soldiers, and blacksmiths joined the celebration, dozens of people cheered on the wall, and the scene was very lively for a while.

The Lu Meng family boy was confused.In order to clarify the situation, he decisively threw the shield to the ground and poked his head out of the battlements.At first glance, the enemy's siege camp did not seem to have changed. There were still so many people outside the west entrance, and the siege equipment remained in place.But if you look closely, you can indeed find something wrong:

First, the assembly site has been completely shut down, and the conscripts and regulars are all standing stupidly, like a flock of stunned geese; second, the fence wall of the camp is obviously missing, and the nearby jousting pile seems to be broken. Two of them, such a degree of damage, certainly did not come out of the night wind.

[This is... Is this the power of artillery?

Little Albert licked his lips, in disbelief.However, Gerard Chevalier, holding a torch, did not give him time to think carefully.Before he could finish expressing his emotions, the village master lit the other three leads at the same time; after the sparks flashed, there were three consecutive beeps of "Boom", "Boom" and "Boom" on the observation deck, and a long flame spurted out of the muzzle. , Akira little Albert was dazzled.

When he wiped away his tears and opened his eyes again, three shells had already fallen to the ground.For reasons only known to the person above, two of these lead bullets were very powerful, causing only a small amount of damage to the toilet, and the dust that was raised was instantly blown away by the wind; but the last shot was extremely accurate and hit. He took the trebuchet on the right and broke up the tendons on the spot.

A busy serf was also scratched by a cannonball.Little Albert didn't know how the man was injured, but he did not say a word, and fell straight and gnawed mud.If this person can struggle to get up, the situation may be saved, but after he fell to the ground, his limbs only twitched a few times, and then he became silent.

People can be courageous, but they can also be cowardly.The companion fell in front of him, and the murderer was far away from the wall of the wall three hundred feet away. There was no chance for revenge... The tragedy that happened in front of you immediately panicked the enlistment, and they lost one after another. Someone yelled and yelled at the tool, others waited for an opportunity to escape, and others knelt to the ground, praying against the night sky.

In just ten seconds, the entrance to the west became a mess.The assembly of siege machinery has completely stalled, and serfs and handymen have completely lost control.The mercenaries and sergeants immediately drew out their swords, yelling loudly, and hitting the crowd with a weight ball; the knights working on the scene went one step further than the regular soldiers, and a few people hurriedly ran towards the horse. Stakes, took off the hanging equipment, and called the attendants to help him put on the armor.

If the knights were to wear all the equipment and ride their tall horses again, no matter how fierce the serfs were to be recruited, it would not help.But the problem is that the armor is really inconvenient to wear. Don't even think about it in three to five minutes.In comparison, the pipe organ gun is much more convenient. A pack of medicine is stuffed into the tube, and then the shells and wooden ammunition holders are filled with force. The ammunition can be loaded within a minute; even if you go up and down, adjust the pitch The angle of time is also counted, and it can still have an advantage over the knight.

Gerard Chevalier was standing downstairs in the lookout, grinning so much that his mouth reached the root of his ears.After the blacksmith and gunner came down, he immediately moved the torch close to the medicine twist and lit two of them at once.Then the fire came again, the guns rumbling, and two iron bullets about half a livre (half a French pound), with the scream of death, slammed into the enemy camp.
