Chapter 135 Suspicious Orc

The cast steel cannon is three meters long and has a caliber of 120mm, refracting the sun's brilliance in the sunlight.

The blacksmith Abel looked at the cannon with anticipation in his eyes, believing that it would explode with a roar like thunder.

"Stay away, everyone, and cover your ears."

Allen reminded those curious free folk to cover their ears.

Some orcs were very obedient and immediately covered their heads and ears.

The intelligence spies from the outer town had never seen a musket before, and they didn't understand the intensity of the sound. They half-covered their ears but didn't cover their ears completely, and their eyes were fixed on the firing process of the cannon.

"It turns out that the weapons used by the artillerymen are this kind of strange weapons, but none of our spies from Nitpeter Town broke into the interior. What's going on?"

A certain spy took a few glances at the lion soldiers operating the artillery and found that there were no family members.

If not, then nothing, what he cares about is the cannon.

The spies couldn't understand the function of such a "freak" made of steel.

In the next second, Allen's ignition command was issued, and the artillerymen began to ignite.

The artillerymen have practiced the ignition link, but it was a false ignition, and the real ignition launch has not been tried.

Holding the traction rope with both hands, pulling it for a while, the triggering device of the cap was activated, and the black powder in the barrel was ignited suddenly.

boom!
Flames emanated from the huge muzzle, and the shells turned into black shadows and disappeared in a flash, while a loud sound suddenly sounded in the distant forest, and the four trees were cut off in the middle without warning, and fell to the ground with a bang.

A thunderous roar exploded in the open space, the heads of the spies were buzzing, and their hearts beat faster.

"What's the matter with that sound? Why did the tree fall?" The spy looked at the trees hundreds of meters away and felt cold all over his body.

He didn't know how far the woods were from the cannon, but it was at least a few hundred meters away.

The artillerymen who manipulated the cannon also opened their mouths wide, feeling deeply shocked.

I didn't expect that what they got after three weeks of special training turned out to be such a terrifying thing to manipulate.

"Master Allen, the cannon really lives up to its name. Now the enemy's camp is within your range." Abel shouted excitedly.

With these three cannons, the distance that the guns cannot cover, the cannons will fill.

Then Allen test-fired several cannons. After testing their accuracy, he made a table of firing angle and gunpowder filling volume for the artillerymen.

Due to the preciousness of black gunpowder, it is naturally impossible for the artillerymen to test-fire several rounds per minute. After the day's test-firing, they all went back to memorize the form, or pulled the artillery to do reloading training that could not fire.

……

On the eve of the war, Goss of Saltpeter Town sent a fleet into Tomorrow Town to demand his share of the cement, or he would send a thousand slaves back to him.

Of course, Goss himself did not come, but his subordinates.

Allen declined on the grounds that war mobilization needed to allocate resources, unless the other party exchanged food and saltpeter.

Due to the war, the saltpeter in Saltpeter Town is no longer sold to Tomorrow Town, which makes Alan feel a headache. At present, the amount of saltpeter in Tomorrow Town is used less once. After the war, Allen must collect some protection fees. Let others think he is easy to bully.

"Master Alan, the war is coming, and Tomorrow Town is very dangerous. Why don't you and some of your important friends get on my boat and go back to the Anderson family in Nitpeter Town for a temporary stay. Our family can secretly protect you from the flames of war. .” Goss’ subordinates smiled and asked tentatively.

"No, I like to sit in my own town." Allen refused again.

Goss's subordinates left regretfully. He failed to get the cement, nor did he get back a thousand slaves. The result was similar to what Goss thought.

Two days later.

Many birds flew into Tomorrow Town to convey urgent information to Allen.

There are ten sailboats going south from Morning Glory Town, and four sailboats from Saltpeter Town going north. They may meet at the mouth of the west bank of Tomorrow Town.

The nobles on both sides planned to send the soldiers to the port by boat, and then walked to the border of Tomorrow Town.

Now that he knew that the other party was coming by boat, Allen was not afraid, and immediately ordered people to pull the horses, drag them, load the guns, and pull them to the mouth of the west bank.

The musketeers in the town also started to move, and more than 200 people quickly formed an array, stepped on the cement port road that had been built with orderly and powerful steps, and moved forward all the way.

When we arrived at the port, we traveled more than a kilometer to the intersection of the canal and the small river. The musketeers hid in the woods, waiting for orders with their guns in hand.

Since Morning Glory Town is very close to Tomorrow Town, it is the fastest way to go down the river. After waiting in the woods for a while, Allen saw the dark shadow above the canal, which was the fleet.

The Knights Templar from the Kingdom were in the convoy sailing down from Morning Glory Town. Before the noble private soldiers from Saltpeter Town arrived, nine artillerymen pulled the breech breech and loaded large shells.

Then it's the amount of gunpowder, hold your breath and seal, and the lead rope for firing is ready.

The artillerymen who had finished their preparations looked nervously at the fleet in the distance, thinking of the table of shooting angle and range that they had memorized by heart.

"Report, whether to shoot!" The artillerymen asked angrily.

Now the fleet has approached a thousand meters away, and the breech gun built by Tomorrow Town can already shoot a thousand-meter target.

Of course, whether it can be shot is another matter.

"No, wait until they enter the ambush circle." Allen shook his head, and the artillery had to stare at the distant ship, constantly adjusting the firing angle, so that the enemy's fleet was always within the range of the cannon.

900 meters, 800 meters, 700 meters, the ten big ships are getting closer and closer to the sandy river bank where Alan is.

Morning glory on board.

Soldiers were standing in the ships, half the Lions in plate armor and the other half in chain mail, while the Templars in the first large ship talked about recent events in Moonlight Valley.

While drinking, a small soldier broke in, "Masters of the Temple, there are more than a dozen suspicious orcs hundreds of miles ahead."

The lion soldiers who were drinking paused, and stopped drinking.

"There are suspicious orcs?" The thick-bearded Templars wore silver plate armor and golden lion white cloaks, put down their wine glasses and walked out of the cabin, and went to the front of the ship to look into the distance.

The Templars are not near-sighted. After awakening, they all have a vision of 5.3 and can see extremely distant targets.

Looking at it, I really saw a dozen orcs standing on the shore, and every three people had a long black iron pipe standing on the shore. They were wearing green spotted clothes, and the other was wearing white clothes. and black pants.

"It's indeed suspicious, but there are too few people..." the temple commander murmured, and suddenly thought of something.

Could it be the soldiers of Tomorrow Town? When he thought of this, he felt cheated.

"Quickly, give me an order to let all the captains drop anchor and walk on the river bank." Sweet's face changed, and the messenger sent an order.

The messengers in light armor immediately took out the flag and issued a semaphore to the flag bearer on the mast. The flag bearer saw it and waved the flag.

The flag bearer of the ship behind saw the semaphore and quickly issued an order. The captain began to order the sailors to adjust the sails and prepare for landing.
