Masora now understood why the paratroopers had to find cover. If they were to stand near the city wall, they might even be bombed by their own people.
Standing on the third floor, he could clearly see where the two shells landed. At this time, a voice came from the communication circle, "Green team! Report the coordinates and adjust the data! "
The artillery team was two kilometers away. Even if it was daytime, they would not be able to see where the shells landed, let alone at night. But now, with the communication circle and Masora who was standing on the high ground, the work of adjusting the coordinates was directly handed over to him.
When he took out the compass, Masora could already hear a commotion coming from the barracks not far away from the city wall. It was the shouts of the soldiers inside after they woke up. Some people appeared in his field of vision with torches in their hands, but these people did not understand what was happening in the dark. They just kept shouting, not realizing what they were about to face.
They had never seen artillery before, and did not know what a fixed-point attack was.
One by one, the lights in the rooms were lit up. But because they did not expect the enemy to attack in the early hours of the morning, these people did not immediately come out of the barracks in such a hurry.
Masora compared the surrounding buildings and quickly calculated the distance of the shells in his heart. He then reported, "The first shell lands twenty meters north, two hundred and fifty meters west, the second …"
After the report, the artillery team responded, "Roger! The second round of shooting will begin in ten seconds. Green team members, please take cover! Over! "
"Green team, roger!"
Masora looked at the barracks a few blocks away. He knew very well that the enemy soldiers on the northern city wall added up to about two hundred people. Other than the two to three hundred elite Tuk people guarding the command center in the city, the rest of the miscellaneous troops were mostly in the two barracks in the inner city.
And these people did not have much combat power. Within ten seconds, not to mention running out of the barracks, half of them would probably still be lying in bed!
The originally dark rooms in the city gradually lit up, and the noise in the barracks gradually grew louder. Finally, someone rang the alarm bell. However, as soon as the bell rang, two artillery shells exploded in the barracks!
"Boom!"
The improved artillery was much more powerful and accurate than before. The coordinates were adjusted once, and the shell landed right in the middle of the military camp. Moreover, this was no longer a simple "calibrating shell", but an improved "explosive shell". Because there was no "anti-magic area" in the military camp, the power of the shell was not reduced at all. The moment it exploded, a house was directly flipped over!
Marthora only remembered that he had to take off his night-vision goggles when the light shone. He knew it was too late, so he quickly closed his eyes. However, the shockwave that swept past him still made him feel fear …
"Crash!"
The glass in the surrounding houses shattered in an instant, and Marthora himself was blown back, but he immediately stabilized his body and said into the microphone, "Two hits! Over! "
"Artillery, listen up! Continue firing! After another five shots, the barrel would cool down! Over! "
"Artillery, roger! Second shot in ten seconds! Over! "
"Red Team, report the situation!"
Hearing Sodelor's voice, Irvin immediately replied, "The Red Team has already taken over the command center's perimeter and is currently charging in. Over!"
"Continue the attack, over."
As soon as Sodelor's voice fell, another two shells landed in the military camp. The exploding light and burning flames devoured everything. The power of firearms was not something that a "catapult" could compare to. Before this, the biggest threat that the soldiers in the military camp could face was the group magic attack of Lassman's mages. Therefore, the priests had specially placed shards in the military camp to create an "anti-magic area" to prevent the mages from attacking with fire.
But now, the shells that landed after crossing the city walls directly blew away the roofs of all the buildings in the military camp. Even the soldiers hiding on the other side of the walls were killed on the spot by the violent tremors!
The bombardment ended in three minutes. Twelve shells landed in the military camp, and more than half of the buildings collapsed. There was no reinforced concrete in this era, and the shockwave alone was enough to blow down the not-so-sturdy load-bearing walls. After the entire military camp experienced this nightmarish attack, for a moment, no one thought of running out to fight. Instead, they only thought of running out to survive …
Marsora involuntarily picked up his pocket watch and glanced at it. From the time he climbed up here to the end of the bombardment, it had only been five minutes.
If it was in the past, the team he led would probably be preparing to fight the enemy. But now …
"Green Team, confirm the situation of the military camp! Make sure that the enemy's main force cannot reinforce the city walls! Over! "
Marsora immediately replied, "The military camp area has been severely damaged. Green Team, immediately launch an attack, over!"
"White Team, report back, over!"
"White Team, in position …"
Marsora did not listen to the rest of the conversation. He directly jumped down from the third floor and landed lightly on the ground. He waved his hand at the few captains who were on standby. "Attack! From the outside to the inside, be careful of the collapsed buildings. Ignore those who have lost their combat power! Kill the enemies with weapons first! "
After saying that, the squad captains immediately led their respective teams out and quickly rushed along the two sides of the street to the military camp. Crossbows were strung, battle axes and swords were held in their hands. The charging barbarian soldiers were even ready to reach for the crystal bombs that were used for blasting. However, after turning the corner, a large area of ruins in front of them slowed down their charging pace …
This "military camp" was originally the place where the soldiers of La Xia City lived. For Lassman's army, the army was the most worthless thing. They mainly relied on the honorable mages to fight at the front. Therefore, this "military camp" was very simple and compact. In other words, when it was hit by artillery, it was basically completely destroyed.
What shocked the paratroopers the most was that the other buildings around the military camp were basically intact. Except for the shattered glass and wooden buildings that were blown down by the shockwave, most of the stone buildings were still standing in the same place.
In contrast, the scene in the military camp was like hell. When the two squads of barbarian soldiers at the front arrived with battle axes in their hands, they found that they did not know who to attack. The ruins in front of them were full of broken limbs and debris. God knows how many soldiers were directly killed or buried under the debris of the buildings. Those who were lucky enough to survive were basically crawling on the ground with blood all over their bodies. The only thing they could do was to shout for help.
Many of them were naked — not because they did not have time to put on clothes, but because they were torn into pieces by the impact just now …
