"It's not bad, it's good that you haven't forgotten it, shoot three rounds freely as fast as you can, and fire!" Hong Tao was very relieved to see the movement on the dock, although the movements of those people lying down were not very uniform, but they were not bad. At this time, the firing range in front of the two warships was much wider, and those secret phalanxes more than 300 meters away were like layers of bowling pins, and a shell could dry it out, and I didn't know if it could be penetrated.

A few seconds later, a loud bang almost knocked Friedrich II's heart out of his half-open mouth, and then he felt that he was standing on an erupting volcano, and the sensation coming from his feet, the roar coming in his ears, made the emperor, who was still calm in the face of an enemy army several times his own size, involuntarily forget the advice of the flood and shut his mouth. This time it was even more troublesome, and his whole head immediately became a mess of porridge, full of rumbling and buzzing tinnitus, and soon he couldn't even hear the rumbling sound, only the buzzing sound. If it weren't for Hong Tao grabbing his arm, the emperor would have been knocked to the deck in the first wave of shelling.

Fortunately, the emperor's eyes had not lost their efficacy, and he could see the scene on the shore very clearly, and then opened his tightly closed mouth again, opening wider than Hong Tao demonstrated. The originally neatly arranged ranks of knights and the infantry and archers behind them seemed to have been struck by countless divine whips that fell from the sky, and one by one they were knocked down, flew, and shattered, and the formation disappeared in an instant. The horses, whether they were their own or not, rushed over and trampled into each other, some of them ran and fell into the moat, while others panicked and galloped straight to the sides of the city wall. It doesn't matter if you carry a knight on your back or not. Resolutely do not look back. The only thing that didn't surprise the horse was the side of the dock. It seems that sometimes animals understand more than humans, they don't know what this scaring thing is called, but they know where it is, and they can't go to kill it.

The first round of shelling was very effective, and more than 90 percent of the shells hit the target, causing great damage to the troops under the city of Rena, but also causing a lot of trouble to their own troops on the docks. The opponent's war horse had never heard such a terrifying sound, and so did his own war horse. And it's closer. When the gray smoke from the muzzle of the cannon was blown away by the sea breeze, Hong Tao looked left and right, and half of the hundred and ten knights on his side were missing, and few of the rest had war horses.

People have habitual thinking, and after a sudden and inexplicable blow, they often have no time to rejudge the situation, and will act according to the habits they have developed before. What is the habit of being defeated in a field battle? Most people chose to turn around and run towards the city, and the walls were a good protection in their subconscious. It's a pity that they forgot one thing, there is only one city gate, and it is impossible for so many people to enter all at once. But in group activities. It was useless for a few people to understand, for a frightened crowd. Whoever dares to stand in the way will be seen as an enemy.

The chaos at the gates of the city brought a devastation to this complex coalition force, and a second round of shelling followed. This time the lethality was even greater, because the crowd was so dense that almost people were close to each other and people were next to each other, and there was no gap at all. The iron ball flying at high speed will not waste any power, and when it loses kinetic energy, it will stop moving.

"The third round turns to the head of the city to shoot!" Hong Tao is used to seeing the scene of cannonballs killing and injuring the human body, but he is still not very accustomed to such a scene, this is the first time he has seen a cannonball blocked by the human body, and he uses his limbs and flesh to block the flying cannonball! The crowd was pierced by the cannonballs, but in the end, they still didn't penetrate it, and you can even see the last person who touched the cannonball to be knocked on the heel and then get up again. Hong Tao felt that two rounds of shelling were enough to make them lose the courage and ability to resist, and no matter how much damage they wanted, it would be meaningless. The purpose of fighting a war is to win, not to kill people, and I don't have this hobby.

Compared with the first two rounds of shelling, the third round of shelling was much less effective, at least more than half of the shells missed the target, and either flew into the city from the top of the city, or hit the city wall in exchange for a pile of broken bricks. The remaining few shells sparsely hit the city, and then the horse road above the city wall became a hell on earth. Although there is a city wall to prevent intimate contact with the big iron ball, the broken bricks and tiles are more vicious than the iron ball, covering all the high-ranking officers, city lords, regimental commanders, and bishops who are standing on the city wall in a daze. There may not be too many people killed on the spot, but it is better to die, let a flying stone fragment into the body, sooner or later it will also die, and you will have to suffer for several days before you die.

"Karma...... Karma ...... After the three rounds of shelling, calm returned to the pier, and only the alarmed seabirds were unwilling to vent their frustration with their calls....... The sailors were staggering on the rigging waiting for the next order, and below deck were the busy gunners, who didn't care about the shooting effect, and the captain didn't say that the battle was over, so he had to stuff the ****** and shells of the fourth round of shelling into the barrel, and then push the cannon to the firing position to rest.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... It's time for your soldiers to go into the field, isn't it time to find someone to ask them if they want to surrender? If you can die less, you can die less, my shells are also expensive. Hong Tao was not idle, he first looked at the effect of the last round of shelling with a telescope, and mentally assessed whether it was necessary to increase the number of shellings. After making a decision, he stabbed the stunned emperor next to him with a telescope, reminding him that his work was done, don't be in a daze, hurry up and get the loot. The surname of this city is Hohenstefen, and if the rich people run away late, it will be a loss.

"I don't dare go ashore and face those people...... It was the most brutal and unchivalrous war I had ever seen, and even the Mamluks would not have been so ruthless. "Friedrich II was not as wealth-loving as Hong Tao, and he didn't need to look through a telescope to see the scene in front of the city walls. Even after leading a crusade and fighting more than a decade of war, he couldn't find the right words to describe that feeling. In front of the artillery, humanity was so small and fragile, that the emperor, who was not very interested in religion, knelt directly on the deck and said something in his mouth. Hong Tao didn't understand what he was saying, so he probably repented to God.

"Hey! I'm a grumpy, and you're all good guys, but I and my crew are badass! Before the battle is over, you will start betraying your allies, and you will be done! I have you to recite the scriptures...... Aim in the direction of the city gate and fire! Not only was the emperor repenting, but the soldiers and knights on the docks, like the emperor, had forgotten all about the war, and all knelt on the ground, humming and chirping the scriptures under the leadership of the priests. Hong Tao was very angry, this kind of behavior is purely mentally betraying the allies, piggybacking on their hands to complain to their God, and must have thrown all the sins on himself. To deal with this kind of guy at both ends of the first rat, Hong Tao can only use a cannon to wake them up, isn't he pretending to be pure? Then pretend to the end, and don't get up all the time if you have the ability.

The temporary increase in the fourth round of shelling did not reduce the design effect at all because it was a temporary increase, and thousands of people were still blocked at the city gate and did not enter, when the smoke of the artillery was blown away by the sea breeze again, a strange scene appeared, the crowd that was originally crowded at the city gate was gone, not gone, they all knelt on the ground, raised their hands to the sky, and the sound of prayer even overshadowed the wails of those wounded soldiers, and the louder and louder, the people in the city also began to pray, thousands of people came and went shouting a word, making the scene a little weird.

"Stop, stop...... Don't fight, don't fight, I'll send someone to talk to them......" When the fourth round of shelling suddenly came, along with the emperor himself and the soldiers on the dock, they all stopped praying, Hong Tao was almost not strangled to death by the emperor, don't look at him is not as tall as Karl, his strength is quite great.

"Dangdangdang...... Dangdangdang...... Sir, an army of several hundred men and some cavalry came from the east, and it was about four kilometers from the dock. Before Hong Tao could push the anxious emperor away from his body, the alarm bell on the mast rang again, and the navigator quickly reported the content of the alarm to Hong Tao.

"Hundreds! The Malacca stood still, and the Golden River lifted its anchor and turned ten degrees to the right! …… Your Majesty the Emperor, don't entangle with me, the enemy is coming again, let your people line up, if you want the cat to cry and cry after the mouse fights, I will definitely create a special scene for you that can show your compassionate heart, with me as the devil backdrop, you don't have to work so hard, a few tears are angels! Hong Tao didn't believe that Friedrich II was really unbearable, the allusion of Liu Bei falling his child has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the tears of politicians are not as good as a piece of butt wiping paper, and whoever believes it is a minor.

"It's a Venetian...... They're late again! The emperor didn't want to let go, Hong Tao almost didn't break his fingers, while rubbing his hands while picking up the binoculars, skillfully adjusting the focus, and when the huge body of the Jinhe began to move slowly, he also saw who the army was.

"It's late again! The Lombards are also brain-dead, and spending money to hire this kind of army is useless except for wasting military rations. One word after another, Hong Tao understood what kind of success this army was later, this is a late professional household, always wanting to take advantage and not wanting to suffer, which is very in line with the character of the Venetians.

The Jinhe, which had adjusted its direction, did not launch an artillery attack on the later army, but watched them run slowly to the battlefield, and then the army was stunned. Even a fool can see that there has just been a fierce battle here, the intensity of this battle is unprecedentedly fierce, and the corpses on the ground layer by layer do not know what weapon they were killed, and the stumps and broken arms are everywhere. Look at the gate of the city, yes, don't plan to enter the city, there are more corpses at the gate of the city, and the gate of the city is blocked, and you can't close it even if you want to, and where are the people who are kneeling on the ground chanting prayers. (To be continued.) )
