Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

When Lin Yi heard Zhao Xi's words, he just smiled and said nothing.

He has seen something grander than this fortress, but not in this time and space.

This fortress looks extremely strong, but in later generations, it was just a matter of a ground-penetrating bomb.

However, in this era, there are no ground-penetrating bombs, not even airplanes.

Otherwise, you can consider starting from the top of the fortress, maybe it can be taken down in one day.

But now, this fortress is a bit troublesome.

However, it is just a nuisance.

"Do you know the specific data of this fortress?" Lin Yi asked, looking at Cui Dongxu behind him.

"Back to the prince, my subordinates found some local residents nearby. They said that the walls of this fortress are at least three meters thick. There are also steel bars poured inside, making it very strong."

"The subordinate Second Division also launched an attack before. The bullet hit the wall, leaving only a white spot." Cui Dongxu told Lin Yi the information he knew.

Lin Yi frowned slightly when he heard this.

"What about the artillery? Have you tried the artillery attack?" Lin Yi asked.

"Well... Your Majesty, you also know that the National Salvation Army currently does not have artillery equipment, so..." Cui Dongxu said with some embarrassment.

Lin Yi glanced at Cui Dongxu when he heard what he said.

Cui Dongxu quickly lowered his head.

"Don't worry, it's wartime now, and logistical supplies are troublesome, so there's no way to equip them with artillery."

"But I can assure you that after the war in Goryeo stabilizes, we will start to equip you with artillery."

"The number of artillery pieces in each division will not be less than two hundred." Lin Yi said calmly.

"Ah? Really? I thanked the prince." Cui Dongxu thanked him quickly. He did not expect that Lin Yi would suddenly agree to equip them with artillery.

This can be said to be a pleasant surprise.

"Dingshan, notify Zhou Chuyun and ask him to bring over a few cannons to try first to see if they can destroy the wall." Lin Yi looked at Xue Dingshan.

"Yes." Xue Dingshan nodded, and then went to convey the order to Zhou Chuyun.

When it comes to who has the most artillery in the First Legion, it must be Zhou Chuyun.

This guy has followed Lin Yi since he only had one division, and served him as the commander of the artillery regiment.

As Lin Yi had more and more soldiers, Zhou Chuyun could control more and more artillery.

After all, Zhou Chuyun had always followed Lin Yi and provided him with fire support.

Unlike several other divisions, they all went out to lead troops independently.

Therefore, Lin Yi also greatly strengthened Zhou Chuyun's number of artillery pieces.

After receiving Lin Yi's order, Zhou Chuyun did not hesitate and directly dragged several 75mm Schneiders to Lin Yi.

"My lord, what shall we blow up this time?" Zhou Chuyun asked excitedly.

Lin Yi just smiled, and then pointed to the fortress not far away.

"Blow it up."

When Zhou Chuyun heard Lin Yi's words, he looked in the direction he pointed.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise to complete the mission." Zhou Chuyun said with a smile and ran out immediately.

Soon, Zhou Chuyun chose a good location. Here, his artillery could hit the fortress, but the artillery inside the fortress would never be able to hit him.

As an expert in artillery, Zhou Chuyun knew at just one glance that there was definitely artillery in this fortress.

The other party has protection, but he doesn't. He wouldn't be stupid enough to fight the artillery in the fortress in an open space. Isn't this obviously a disadvantage for him?

Don't do business that is losing money.

In less than ten minutes, Zhou Chuyun set up the artillery, with the muzzle facing a wall of the fortress.

At such a close distance, there is no need for proofreading or proofreading.

So Zhou Chuyun directly ordered the artillery to load the shells.

"Let go!" Zhou Chuyun personally acted as the observer and waved the small flag in his hand vigorously.

"Bang bang bang!" A series of gunshots sounded, and the next second, several flames exploded on the wall in front of them.

Zhou Chuyun just let people fire a round. He wanted to see the effect of the bombardment.

When the smoke dissipated, Zhou Chuyun could only see that there were just a few more black patches on the originally clear gray wall.

Zhou Chuyun frowned. He could see that the scorched black area was a bit bright.

"So tough? I don't believe it! One more round!" Zhou Chuyun gave the order to the artillerymen behind him.

When the artillerymen heard Zhou Chuyun's order, they were unambiguous. They immediately withdrew the cartridge from the artillery, and then stuffed a shell into the barrel.

"Bang bang bang..."

There was another round of shelling, and Zhou Chuyun's brows furrowed even deeper.

He saw that this round of shelling still had no effect. It had no effect except making the wall darker.

Zhou Chuyun was a little speechless. He now kind of hated those Sakura people. They had nothing to eat and were full. Why did they build the fortress so strong?

"You guys wait here, I'll report to the prince."

After saying this, Zhou Chuyun ran towards where Lin Yi was.

"My lord, that fortress is a bit strong and difficult to deal with!" Zhou Chuyun walked into the room and said to Lin Yi.

"My subordinates fired two rounds of artillery at the fortress, but they did not cause any actual damage to the fortress. They just made the fortress dark."

"My subordinates estimate that if we want to blow open the fortress, we will have to bombard it non-stop for at least a few hours."

"After all, Schneider only has a caliber of 75, and the amount of powder required for the shell is too small."

Lin Yi frowned when he heard Zhou Chuyun's words, and then asked: "A few hours is too long, is there any other way?"

"My lord, yes." Zhou Chuyun said: "For this kind of battle arrangement, the larger the caliber of the artillery, the greater the damage. I estimate that if it is a 305-caliber artillery like a naval gun, one or two shots can solve it."

"Go away, can you tell me something practical? Naval guns? Where can I get naval guns for you?" Lin Yi said angrily.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, although we don't have naval guns, we do have Vz-14 heavy howitzers!"

"I estimate that we will bring in a few artillery pieces and keep blasting at a certain point. It will only take an hour or two to blast a hole." Zhou Chuyun said with a smile to Lin Yi.

After hearing Zhou Chuyun's words, Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction.

It's easier to just bring in a few heavy howitzers than to get him naval guns.

"Okay, just do as you say! I don't care what cannons you call over, I only have one request, blow me a hole as soon as possible." Lin Yi said to Zhou Chuyun.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it will be all right this time." After saying this, Zhou Chuyun ran out again.

Seeing Zhou Chuyun leave, Xue Dingshan also took a step forward and said to Lin Yi.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou has gone to mobilize the artillery. We must make preparations early."

"The power of those heavy artillery is amazing, but it is impossible to blow up the fortress in one go."

"And once we fire, they will definitely be able to feel that we are using heavy artillery, so we must be prepared for them to jump over the wall in a hurry, lest they suddenly rush out of the fortress and attack Mr. Zhou and others."

"What you said makes sense, just follow what you said." Lin Yi nodded and said to Xue Dingshan.
