Chapter 1446: Royal Kiln Team (II)
On the one hand, the cutting-edge rotatable turret allows the ship to carry a larger caliber and a wider range of artillery. The guns of the traditional multi-level gun compartment had an aiming angle of only a pitiful 15 degrees to the left and right. Directly in front of and behind the ship, there were at most only a few small-caliber guns.
On the other hand, sealing the lower deck is more conducive to the survival of the ship's crew. The open, multi-level gun bays certainly increase the density of firepower, but at the same time make the battleship more vulnerable. Just hitting a certain area can easily spread the damage to the arsenal, causing a chain of explosions. Or, in other words, the gun bay itself is a live arsenal full of shells.
As the war dragged on, the alliance also noticed the fact that it took a short time to make a new artillery, but in order to train a qualified adult soldier, it was necessary to have an adult first, and it must be a well-educated adult.
Illiterate people can't play with artillery, especially new artillery with a system that is responsible for calibration. Even if there is a system to assist in calculating the trajectory, many times when the system is not so accurate, it must be corrected with the gunner's experience.
This time, as a new type of experimental flying battleship.
All three battleships were equipped with a unique artillery system.
The system of war-weariness equipment, with the alliance's most advanced tactical auxiliary targeting system, tends to be long-range precision strikes.
The Hood's system tended to be continuous fire and wide area lethality, and a specially equipped chain loader allowed for more automated gun loading.
The system of the Ellie Silly White Queen is almost a system of radar early warning aircraft before the Duke crossing. She will repeatedly scan the entire battlefield, collect all kinds of information on the battlefield, and link it with the fire control systems of War Weary and Hood, so as to further increase the firepower, hits, and even the evasion rate of the entire small fleet.
And what performance these three cutting-edge warships have in the end needs to be tested in actual combat.
Rushing to the main battlefield, that's something that the Alliance does when it's about to fall. If conditions permit, a low-intensity battle will be a very suitable test.
The Draenei don't use rifles to synergize because they've never seen one. Apparently Irel is an outlier, as the first draenei to run around with Du who goes under the pseudonym Mark, Irel can be said to have seen the world.
She is well aware of the terrible power of modern artillery.
After looking at the Scout's sketch and inquiring about the topography of the place.
Irel gave an order: "Thomas, I need your best archers to shoot the bottle of holy water into these points with arrows. Immediately after shooting the arrow, retreat. β
The Illidare Outpost was actually built on the ruins of a former Draenei palace. The entire ruins are full of broken tiles, and there are few houses with tiled heads.
As a sentinel guarding Shadow Moon Valley, there is not much combat power arranged here.
Purely because there was an energy node similar to a source of mana, Illidan ordered the demons to set up a guard here.
In a short time, several arrows of "Xiu Xiu Xiu" were shot into the open space of the Ilidar Sentry Post.
"Huh?" the Illidare commandos, who were actually demon guards, looked puzzled. They weren't too intelligent to understand why arrows with holy light were shot into the clearing.
Of course, this did not prevent them from reacting quickly.
"Enemy attackβ"
The terrible demon shouts resounded throughout the sentry. Almost all demons rushed out with weapons in hand.
But...... Nothing.
"Do you want to pursue?" one of the commandos asked the Terrorist.
The Terrorbringer is the Dreadlord who is not strong enough, but in this kind of small sentry, the Terrorbringer is already the commander.
After dispersing his senses, still failing to detect the enemy's traces, the Terrorist finally ordered: "Be vigilant!"
He had not directly confronted the Alliance, and he didn't know that at this moment, 12,000 meters away, there was a boiling voice on the three suspended battleships.
"The coordinates have been transmitted. "An adjutant shouted.
Captain Jun Muqi of the Panda Man waved his big paws: "Compare the terrain data, and at the same time try to stabilize the hull as much as possible, and turn on the auxiliary correction system." β
"The wind is 12.3 degrees south-east, and the wind force is level 3. β
"Good!"
"The school-shot balloon has been released. β
"Listen, everyone, the main gun will be fired in 60 seconds. β
In the col two kilometers from the Illidare outpost, Irel was nervous, dressed in new armor that theoretically protected her body better than her previous leather armor.
But she knew that in front of demons more powerful than orcs, her set of fine-grade plate armor was simply like paper.
What can be relied on is the artillery support of the alliance.
Fearing that the enemy would find them, Iriel suddenly rushed out and engaged them in hand-to-hand combat. In this case, it is impossible for the Union battleship to open fire in such a situation.
Five minutes, like waiting for five centuries.
Finally, there seemed to be thunder in the distant sky, and there was a muffled sound.
Soon, every coalition soldier listened more clearly.
It was a scream of death coming from the sky.
Huge cannonballs that hit at high speed, like burning meteors, roared through the sky and rushed to the earth.
There was no chance for the demons of the Illidare outpost to escape, and the furious and terrifying cannonballs had exploded at the outpost, and the intense flash of light meant that the explosion of the new gunpowder was mercilessly and efficiently crushing all living beings within the blast range.
The earth seemed to have been struck hard by the gods with an invisible fist, and a huge depression that resembled a crater was created in the ground.
Fragments of masonry and mud splattered in all directions, the aftermath of the explosion destroying everything it came across.
The demons of the Burning Legion have their own fire attributes, and the damage caused to them by the explosion is not much terrifying. Originally, they would have taken damage from the impact at most, but with a little Naru's holy light added to the gunpowder, it was a different matter.
The instinctive fear of the Light caused the demons to flee in all directions without being hit by the cannonballs.
At this time, several Illidare terrorists rose from the crater.
They yelled in Ereda: "Calm down, fools, find the enemy at once." β
Their efforts are doomed to be in vain.
An over-the-horizon strike of more than 12,000 kilometers was already terrifying enough, not to mention that the Royal Kiln Team was hovering on the other side of the mountain, and the shells were blasted over the hill in a parabola.
There isn't a single demon with a twelve-kilometer sense at all, and at most they can roughly sense which direction the cannonball is coming from.
They didn't even know that the shell just now was just a test firing. So that the shelling of the rear adjusts the firing of the elements.
