1276 Artillery Strikes

In fact, the principle of modern artillery is not complicated. The firing pin on the breech hits the primer of the artillery, ignites the firing barrel, the cartridge burns and pushes the shell forward, and begins to rotate and accelerate along the rifling.

The moment the shell was pushed out of the barrel by the super high chamber pressure, it began to propel itself rapidly, and flew forward at a speed of thousands of meters per second.

The excess propellant sprayed out of the gun barrel, huge flames shot up into the sky, air waves roared at the muzzle, and a shell flew towards the target like this.

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

Promote material science, promote metallurgical forging technology, and finally make the barrel stronger, allowing the entire artillery to withstand greater chamber pressure and increase the range of the artillery.

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

Precision machining makes the entire artillery more accurate and less error-prone. In this way, the entire artillery can maintain a more stable state when shooting to achieve higher accuracy.

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

Because there is not such a high war requirement, until now, the self-propelled howitzer troops of the Alan Hill Empire are still using old weapons and equipment.

The old models of howitzers do not have automatic loading machines, and they all rely on manual loading, so the rate of fire is relatively slow.

There is no way, who reduced the need for war, and most of the defense budget was taken away by more new troops...?

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

The fuze of each shell has been checked by puppets on the automatic production line. Each one is produced from 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 the raw materials are good or the production process is good, there will be no problems.

The products produced by such a standard assembly line are reassuring, but also make the enemy desperate. Every cannon, every shell, and even every grain of gunpowder are products that have passed strict inspections. Every detail of such a war machine is perfect.

Following an order from the gunner, the long-barreled 155mm self-propelled howitzer spewed out a huge flame from the muzzle, and the entire artillery position began to vibrate for a while, and the sky was covered by the blown dust.

At the same time, another howitzer next door also sprayed out flames, and the flames rolled in the air until they were covered by dust, and continued to expand and jump.

Three battalions of 155mm caliber howitzers, a total of 54 howitzers roared one after another, and fired 54 shells into the enemy's position in one breath. The power can definitely make the opponent doubt life.

The Panshi Empire soldiers stationed on the city wall did not know that someone had already started attacking them more than ten kilometers away.

These soldiers still stood loyally on the city wall, leaning on their spears, looking at the distant woods. Under their feet was a thick city wall, and outside the city wall were densely packed tents next to each other.

About 15,000 Holy See Crusaders are stationed here, and there are also 10,000 soldiers from the Flame Empire who came to help the battle.

With such a huge army, coupled with the destructive Heavenly Sword weapon, the Panshi Empire can be said to be strong this time...

"Yo..." The long and sharp sound of breaking the wind made a soldier of the Panshi Empire frowned. He heard the sound getting closer, but he didn't know what could make such a strange sound.

He listened intently, until a black figure suddenly fell beside him and hit the city wall under his feet, making a muffled bang.

Before he could look down to see what had fallen, the impact fuze ignited the high explosives inside the shell.

The explosion engulfed the soldier on guard at once, and then the rapidly expanding air flow swept through countless shrapnel and rubble, instantly shredding all objects blocking the way.

The ballista made of thick wood was directly cut into wood fragments by the airflow, and with the metal shrapnel inserted on it, it rampaged and turned the soldiers at the top of the city on their backs.

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

And these remaining stumps and broken arms have now become flying fragments that kill and injure others, sweeping over the soldiers who are farther away.

The thin breastplate was easily pierced by shrapnel, and blood splattered everywhere. The screams continued, but were covered up by another explosion in the next second.

"Boom!" Another explosion sounded in the city, and the shell blew away the roof of the entire building. The brick wall collapsed in the explosion, and the soldiers stationed in the house were all buried under the ruins. .

"Fire from the sky! Fire from the sky... fire!" An officer looked desperately at a scene where the city wall was directly hit by a shell and then collapsed in the explosion. He muttered some words that only he could hear, and staggered on his feet. It seems to have lost its soul.

There were many more soldiers who were scared out of their wits by the sight in front of them. Some of them even dared to kneel on the ground and kept begging for mercy, begging the gods to forgive themselves.

However, it was obvious that no one could hear their prayers. The three artillery battalions more than a dozen kilometers away were continuing to load and fire at this moment, with no intention of stopping at all.

The entire city has been enveloped by artillery fire, and some city walls were directly hit by artillery shells, collapsing into fragments of ruins.

The ground was shaking, and just as the cry sounded, it was suppressed by the explosion. The whole city seems to be destroyed, and there are scenes like hell everywhere.

The soldiers of the Alante Empire back then only lasted for a short time under the attack of the old-fashioned artillery of the Alan Hill Empire. 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 collapses faster.

A shell roared and landed in the crusader's camp, and the explosion knocked several tents into the air. The crusader soldiers who were singing and dancing to celebrate the victory one moment, flew into the sky the next second.
