Warlords of the witcher world

Chapter 81
"Push the cannon up? Put the bayonet on the cannon? Lord Protector, with all due respect, this is simply impossible."

Wipe off the black ash on his face, Dirban said.

Dirban in front of him couldn't see any majesty as a warlock. He was covered in black ash, and he was extremely disgraced. It was completely impossible to tell that he was a high-quality graduate of Ben Ade College.

On the other side, another gunner loaded the ammunition. Seeing this, Dirban quickly adjusted the firing direction of the artillery, and aimed at a group of advancing imperial cavalry.

The team of cavalry was going to disperse a group of nomadic archers, but was suddenly pierced by a shell. One can imagine the tragedy of the situation.

As long as people and horses become disabled one by one on the flight path of the shell, it is too horrible to look at.

"This cannon is too heavy,"

Dirban said after finishing the shot,
"Just dragging it out of the gun emplacement will take a lot of time. If it is pushed onto the battlefield again, the previous battle may be over."

It was the same gunner, he didn't clean the barrel, he just stuffed the gunpowder and shells.

This method of firing is of course very harmful to the life of the barrel, but as far as the current situation is concerned, this is the only way.

Dirban went to calibrate the cannon again, and this shot directly hit the golem that was trying to reassemble under the magic of the warlock, making it shattered more thoroughly. A pile of garbage.

Although this cannon was accurate and ruthless, there was only one cannon after all, and it was still difficult to cover up the disadvantage of the Adian army on the battlefield.

At this time, Herme also realized how unrealistic the "bayonet on the cannon" that he came up with in his head.

In the current situation, if the artillery is pushed up, the previous battle is over, and the current situation cannot be reversed at all.

Damn, can you just watch?
Looking at the fighting battlefield, Hemei calculated the power in his hands to see if there was anything that could change the situation of the battle.

But unfortunately, apart from the royal knights and those ten thousand recruits, Herme had no cards at all.

The Royal Knights cannot be used at will. The Wind Tower Brigade on the opposite side has been watching, and God knows where the Solar Division will be on standby. If he sends the Royal Knights, the opposite side will charge up immediately.

As for the [-] recruits, there is no hope. Now many people are planning to escape. If he hadn't arranged a lot of military judges, some people would have already started to flee for their lives.

Herme was a little reluctant to admit that right now he seemed to have no other option but to lead his guards to the front line to fight and see if he could change the situation of the battle by entering the battle himself.

"Master Protector, I have a way to move this cannon."

At this moment, Warlock Abrad said, his face was full of confidence,

The warlock had just cast a magic dispel spell on the entire battlefield, making sure that there were no other lurking Nilfgaardian troops on the battlefield.

Many people did not expect the Nilfgaardians to use invisibility magic on such a large scale. Such a large-scale invisibility technique consumes a lot of mana, and it is also very fragile. After all, if a warlock on the opposite side uses the dispel technique, it can be easily dispelled.

But this hit everyone's blind spot and caught everyone by surprise, so it produced such an effect.

But this can only be used once. After all, with this battle example, everyone must know to beware.

After completing the spell, Abrad heard the conversation between Herme and Durban, so he interjected.

This surprised Herme. Originally, he wanted this sorcerer by his side to avoid being stationed by sorceresses in the future. He didn't want to get involved with those femme fatales.

Herme had no hope for this warlock's level, and the best idea was to help with some ordinary affairs involving magic.

After all, his impression of this warlock came from the scene in a cg where he was killed by a big bald head like chopping melons and vegetables, and he subconsciously didn't think how powerful he was.

"any solution?"

Herme asked like this, her eyes were full of hope, and now she could only see if there was anything she could do.

The bald warlock didn't say much. He took out his staff from his arms and waved it in the air a few times, and the magic power of chaos began to surge.

With the surge of chaotic magic power, two tall earth elements suddenly broke out from the ground, both of which were three meters high.

"I think these two earth elements are enough to quickly send the artillery to the front line."

The two earth elementals walked directly to the cannon, and they easily pushed the cannon out of the cannon position, and then pushed it in front of everyone.

Dirban followed Cannon up with a face full of surprise, and he said to Herme,
"If there are these two earth elements to carry the artillery, I do have the confidence to quickly send the artillery to the front line."

"Master Abrad, how many more earth elementals like this can you make?"

Herme looked eagerly at this warlock whom he had never cared about. He never thought that this person would have such strength.

Summoning earth elements at will, not many warlocks can do this.

"I tried my best to drain the chaotic magic power of this body, and I can summon two groups. They can last about an hour on the battlefield, and it would be terrible if I met a warlock like me, and those war golems and guardian golems Different, an earth element like me can easily be broken by my peers."

After finishing speaking, Abrad waved his staff, and four earth elementals broke out of the ground, and then these two groups of earth elementals consciously carried the nearby artillery. These earth elementals were very intelligent and could understand the artillery's orders action.

"Enough is enough, three cannons are enough to change the situation of the battle! This is completely enough!"

Dirban said in an extremely excited tone, he did not expect that the bayonet on the cannon could really be done,

After all, he doesn't have the ability to summon these powerful earth elements,

"Everyone come over here, bring me all the ammunition for the shotgun, it's time to let the black army know the lesson, ah ha ha ha!"

Dirban began to imagine how those soldiers in black turned into a pile of crumbs in front of him.

Hahaha, this is so exciting, and watching the enemy being torn apart by the artillery at such a close distance is also an achievement.

Heme also sent the Musketeers to advance with the artillery. In the previous battle, the Musketeers were withdrawn after fighting for a few rounds due to melee, height difference, and unable to find a suitable shooting position. They have been there for a while. They beat without a single shot.

Now it is just right to counterattack with the artillery to strengthen the firepower of the assault.

"Thank you very much, Master Abrad."

Watching the cannon being pushed onto the battlefield, Herme thanked Aberat.

Right now, the warlock's pale face is obviously a side effect of excessive use of chaotic magic power, and the whole person looks older.

"It's all just doing your duty, Lord Protector, you should pay more attention to the battlefield."

The warlock just waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

"Yes, yes, the battlefield."

His words seemed to remind Herme, and Herme hurriedly looked towards the battlefield, he wanted to see how the Nilfgaardians were torn apart by the shotgun.

Then Herme seemed to remember something, and after slapping herself on the head, she quickly gave another order.

This order is to let those ten thousand recruits go into battle and follow behind the artillery, which is enough to muster the courage of these recruits, and it can also hone them.

The three months of training combined are not as important as the five minutes on the battlefield, and soldiers can learn more.

"Ready! Fire!"

Following the command, countless sharp objects sprayed out from the gun barrel, directly smashing the Nilfgaardian soldiers who were less than ten meters away into pieces.

The Nilfgaardian soldiers who survived the rain of bullets were full of disbelief. They never thought that they would encounter such a fierce attack.

Some people were stunned. Seeing their comrades who had been charging the previous second turned into fragments at a close distance, the impact was too great.

"Fire!"

Immediately after this shelling stopped, there was a second shelling, and another round of cannonballs went in, and the people of Nilfgaard were crying and howling.

"Fire!"

In the third round, the Nilfgaardians lost their temper completely, and the Nilfgaardian army in front of them collapsed immediately.

It's just that their disaster was not over yet, because the next burst of gunfire killed the last group of people who had the courage to fight back.

"Let's all go! Victory belongs to us! Big guy, keep pushing, go over there, you two don't follow me, go to the front that needs support!"

Following Dirban's words, a large group of soldiers rushed up, chasing the Nilfgaardians.

And the three cannons, driven by the earth element, went to the battlefields that needed them.

As the three artillery pieces arrived at the front line, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly.

When the shotgun was approaching, large swathes of Nilfgaardian soldiers were directly smashed, and the morale of the Nilfgaardians was also seriously affected.

Under such a high intensity of consumption, the quantity of gunpowder and projectiles are consumed rapidly. The gunpowder is okay, just find a few people to carry the gunpowder barrels, but the ammunition is troublesome.

Shotgun is a big consumer of ammunition, so the ammunition will run out quickly.

In the end, the artillerymen came up with a temporary solution, smashing the armor of the nearby corpses, and then stuffing these fragments into the barrel.

This will hurt the life of the barrel even more, but right now there is no other way but to make do with it, as much firepower as it can output, and the cannon must be fired enough before the chamber explodes.

The Nilfgaardian army that used illusion to hide their position and flanked the assault was the first to be wiped out. Under the impact of the shot, these Nilfgaardian elite troops were routed.

They really didn't expect that they would face shotgun and musket fire. Under the sudden and violent blow, even the elite troops would be finished.

But they were also unlucky. Before that, their warlocks retreated to the rear after achieving their strategic goals. Otherwise, the earth element would be easily dealt with, and the artillery would naturally not be able to be pushed to the front.

But the artillery is not invincible. When another imperial golem was destroyed, the golem was smashed to pieces, and it rushed over to smash the artillery and artillery, and they all died together.

As for the two earth elementals, they lost their cannons and were thrown into the battlefield. They once helped the Aedian army break through the imperial line, but as the imperial warlocks returned to the battlefield, they were quickly resolved and became a bunch again. soil.

As for the other side, it was unlucky. Under the high-intensity shelling, the artillery directly exploded.

The ammunition contained in it collapsed everywhere, and the surrounding people turned their backs on their backs. Those "shotgun shells" caused extremely terrifying casualties at this distance.

The only good news is that the cannon was almost captured by the brave Nilfgaardian soldiers before it exploded.

After all, with the bayonet attached to the cannon, it must be on the front line. If the Nilfgaardians on the opposite side are brave, it is indeed easy to seize the cannon by rushing up with one breath.

For example, this was a success. The Nilfgaardians insisted on fighting the shelling and gunfire, killing them and grabbing the guns, and they succeeded.

Fortunately, the last artilleryman ignited the barrel before being killed, and then there was this scene.

The two earth elementals were nothing serious, and then they rushed to the battlefield naturally, but unfortunately they were too weak and were directly defeated by the siege of Nilfgaardian soldiers.

As for Dirban's school, it is to go forward bravely all the way, and to blow up whatever stands in front of him.

Seeing the artillery, the fighting soldiers immediately got out of the way, and then hid as far as they could.

They knew the horror of this thing, and it also made it easier for the artillery to reach the front line.

With the warlock Dirban there, when the gun barrel is about to be unbearable, he will adjust his strategy, use cold water or magic to keep the gun barrel in state, and avoid the next round of explosion.

This cannon must be discarded after the war, and it can continue to shoot now only because of magic and precision adjustments.

Right now, the only way to turn the tide of battle is to squeeze out the potential of this artillery in this way.

And whenever the artillery was raging and the matchlock guns were fired, those recruits would rush up like wolves and tigers, hacking and killing the Nilfgaardians who were almost stupefied by the artillery.

Then until these recruits encountered hard stubble, the artillery went up to break the situation, and when a shot came down, everything was like a cloud.

However, the black army is not completely without counterattack, and the Nilfgaardians are still very brave.

They came forward several times in short, fearless assaults, trying to seize the cannon from Durban, and Durban personally fought with the Nilfgaardian soldiers who took the cannon several times.

In such a fierce battle, the artillery around Dirban has changed several rounds, which has little effect on the firing of the artillery. After all, all they need to do is to collect or manufacture armor, and then stuff them into the barrel of the artillery, and Carrying Durban's gunpowder and matchlock.

However, if the surrounding soldiers knew that this cannon was the key to changing the entire battlefield, and there were a large number of musketeers and recruits following him, Dirban would have died countless times.

Under the effect of this bayonet-on-cannon tactic, the situation on the front changed rapidly, and the Nilfgaardians became the ones who were retreating steadily.

With Shotgun at the center, the Aedirn army adjusted their strategy.

The artillery is a spearhead, using powerful firepower to break through all obstacles blocking the way of the army.

However, the Nilfgaardians also noticed the change here.

Soon, as several anti-demon gold bombs were thrown, the two earth elementals fell apart.

Dirban's cannon couldn't move either, and then the warlock activated the chaotic magic power of his whole team, and pushed the cannon hard, pushing it towards the Nilfgaardians who were killing them.

On the cannon that was pushed past, the matchlock was burning.

There was another loud bang, and the people of Nilfgaard were blown upside down, which can be described as extremely miserable, and then the people of Aden who seized this last chance killed them like wolves and tigers.

And Dirban was carried down by the soldiers. This warlock had already used Chaos magic power and excessive size.

After doing the last thing he could do, he passed out directly.

Right now, the situation of the battle has changed. The people of Aedirn were once at a disadvantage and were on the verge of being wiped out.

But now, all those things lost by the Aedian people have been taken back by them, and the battle line has been pushed back to where it started.

"Those savages! How could this happen!"

Adal's roar sounded, and nothing made him more angry than the victory disappearing before his eyes. He just watched the barbarian in front of him forcefully turn the tide of battle.

"What about the heavy crossbow? Why haven't you fired yet!"

Duke Adal roared like this, and then he suddenly remembered that it had been a while since he had seen green flames piercing the sky.

He suddenly thought of some bad possibilities, and immediately called his attendants and asked them to look behind.

.

At the same time, at the heavy crossbow in the forest.

When killing the last enemy with the matchlock pistol he picked up from the ground, Viato collapsed directly on the corpse behind him.

The place where he is right now is where the heavy crossbow is, and there are corpses everywhere on the ground.

There are people from Aden, people from Nilfgaard, and horses, which shows how fierce the battle took place here.

As for the war machine of Nilfgaard, it is now shrouded in green flames.

Beside Viator, only five Ardian men could stand and move.

But the situation was similar to his, or even worse. Others either died in the fighting, or lay there howling.

"Damn it, I've finally completed the task after working so hard."

Viator said with a sigh of relief that this journey was really too difficult. Even if they went so far around, they would encounter Nilfgaardian cavalry one after another, fighting and fighting all the way.

If it weren't for the good use of their firearms and their fast running, this team would have been finished long ago.

If it weren't for the fact that Viator's men were all reliable people he picked out, and they generally had blood feuds with the Nilfgaardians, their team would have been finished long ago.

In the end, he came to the place where the green flames were emitted. Viator almost sacrificed all his subordinates in order to attack, but everything was worth it.

But at the same time, a burst of sadness welled up in his heart.

In such a situation, if another group of enemies came, he would definitely be finished.

Youdao said that he was afraid of something, and saw a figure appearing on the edge of the forest. Viator fumbled desperately on his body, trying to find something to kill himself.

He didn't want to be a slave to the Nilfgaardians.

It's just that after those voices approached, what he saw was the coat of arms of Aedirn, and the leader was that man, Layla.

"Grass, it's you guys who are here, it's great, why are you here now, give me some water, I'm going to die."

After seeing clearly and confirming that it was one of his own, Viator was completely ruined. Damn it, this time it can be regarded as saving his life.

And Leila's eyes were full of surprise, he never thought that this young man could achieve such a feat.

But thinking about it this way, the movements are still very quick. They immediately started to rescue the wounded, and then set up the wounded to retreat. The Nilfgaardians will quickly react to the problem here.
