In this era, firing a cannon was a skill that required a lot of personal experience.
Only Iron Stove Castle, which had more raw materials than they could spend, could afford a group of cannoneers.
Iron Stove Castle heard the following dialogue the most:
"Do you want to have sex tonight?"
"Yes! Let's go to hell! "
So, it was often two teams of dwarf tank crews who drank a few pounds of wine first, and then, not sleeping in the middle of the night, ran to shoot wolves and rabbits with cannons, causing chaos in the whole of Danmo Luo.
Well, it was a one-night date, no problem!
Not to mention that before Duque's transmigration, dwarves still used thick iron cannons without rifling, even after Duque introduced the shooting elements and rifling and other concepts, the hit rate of the cannons was still impressive.
It couldn't be helped. Before there were computers, in the classic naval battles of the First and Second World Wars on Earth, except for shooting dead targets at close range, the hit rate did not exceed 10%. Those with a hit rate of more than 5% were already called godly cannoneers.
No matter how accurate they were, they had to first roughly hit two shots, then slowly calibrate, judge the position, direction, and speed of the enemy based on experience, then estimate the advance, and finally fire.
As for how accurate they could be, only the heavens knew.
After all, at a distance of three thousand meters, even a large object a hundred meters long would not look bigger than a finger to the naked eye.
Duque's series of "inventions" subverted all this.
First of all, he attached a high-powered telescope to the front of each cannon.
Then the image in the telescope was directly magnified on the 32-inch magic mirror display above the cannon door.
Finally, just like playing a game, a dotted line was marked on the display — that was the simulated arc of the cannonball after setting the shooting elements. As long as the barrel was adjusted to coincide with the dotted line, then it would basically hit.
When Duque's invention came out, it once again changed the entire war.
It wasn't that the old cannoneers couldn't do it. With the help of the new system, they shot more accurately and fiercely, but the standard of qualified cannoneers had been easily lowered.
New cannoneers only needed to go through three months of training to easily hit more than 50% of a fixed target with a diameter of 50 meters at a distance of two thousand meters.
Now, the target was the huge floating fortress Naxxramas, which was measured in units of length and width in units of one thousand meters. Even from three thousand meters away, it couldn't be easier.
"Alright! I'll leave the first shot to you! "Magni raised his glass high into the air.
Duque pursed his lips, but he still raised his hand high. "All fleets, listen up! Fire three consecutive shots! Afterwards, the Heaven Destroyer will move in a serpentine fashion, the Black Pearl will rudder fully to the left, the Flying Dutchman will rudder fully to the right, pull the formation apart. "
As Duque's right hand chopped down fiercely.
The entire Heaven-Breaker began to fire its cannons from the bow.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! " At first, it sounded like muffled thunder coming from the horizon, but when the sound of the cannons became like firecrackers, from the bow of the ship to the stern of the ship that was three stories high, Duque still felt a little unbearable from the violent tremors that came from the hull of the ship even though they had set up a soundproof spell in advance.
"Ugh!"
This super Heaven Breaker was clearly many times more powerful than the original version, and it had the typical bulky dwarven style. Every 155mm cannon had rifling, as well as a hydraulic and pneumatic recoil recoil mechanism that was equivalent to Earth's World War II, to reduce the recoil.
However, when the 128 cannons opened fire in succession, the powerful recoil still caused the entire Heaven-Breaker to shift at least fifty meters to the left in mid-air.
Including the two battleships, the three giant ships had a total of more than two hundred cannons roaring in unison. It was a spectacular scene. Even if the chief high priest of the Goddess of the Moon, Tyrande, had personally activated [Starfall], it wouldn't have such a scene.
From the perspective of the soldiers and civilians below, as soon as the three giant ships charged out of the roiling dark clouds, the sides of the ships suddenly flickered with a blinding light, followed by an incomparably frightening death cry that could be heard clearly even from ten thousand meters away.
When the cannonballs filled with the will of destruction crossed a distance of three thousand meters, they ruthlessly smashed into the outer walls of Naxxramas. Explosions and flames immediately appeared continuously on this fortress that was brimming with the aura of sin.
The fortress was on fire, but the fire wasn't too big.
But flames were definitely not a good thing for this fortress full of undead.
Kel 'Thuzad was so angry on the spot!
"What's going on? What's going on?! Where did the Alliance get a flying control warship? Could it be that Archimonde, that trash, died on Mount Hyjal and even lost his void warship? "
The roar of the great lich was destined to be meaningless.
Duque, while confirming the results of the battle and the point of impact through his binoculars, seemed to mutter to himself, "It seems that Naxxramas really can't stop the cannonballs …"
As staunch supporters of giant ships and cannons, how could the dwarves' cannons only be 155mm so weak?
Those 155mm rapid-fire cannons were also used for suppressive fire and anti-aircraft purposes.
At the same time, they could also test whether Naxxramas' magic protection system was still effective. After all, nowadays, even the great villains had learned to put a [Cannonball Protection] spell on the city walls and fortresses.
The real killer weapon was, of course, the three triple turrets that Duque had installed on the ship!
The caliber wasn't much, just a mere 460mm.
To the crazy dwarves, they even thought that the caliber was too small. It was just that the craftsmanship wasn't up to standard, and the recoil was too crazy. If they wanted to install it on a flying warship, this was already the limit. It wasn't that they didn't have cannons with a larger caliber, but the problem was that the ship's keel couldn't take it!
Magni could only reluctantly agree to install the 460mm triple turrets.
When Duque ordered the main cannons to open fire, in just three or four breaths' time, a deafening roar came from the Heaven-Breaker.
That was the roar of the main cannons firing at full power!
One, two, three … nine. A total of nine golden beams of light pierced into the dark and evil giant fortress like sharp blades.
The hard outer layer of the outer layer of the fortress took most of the damage from the previous bombardment.
This time, facing the bombardment of the 460mm giant cannons, the outer layer of the fortress that had been ravaged time and time again finally couldn't take it anymore and exploded.
Previously, they were still worried that the Alliance would send troops to land, so Kel 'Thuzad sent a large number of undead creatures to the outer layer of the fortress. In the end, these undead were all unlucky. Skeleton soldiers, flesh structures, and the like were instantly blown into pieces, flesh flying everywhere.
The gargoyles that were just about to attack were easily pierced through by the gravel from the explosion or directly through their bodies. They screamed and howled as they fell from the sky.
The huge Abominations were blown into rotten tomatoes, and dirty blood rained down.
Kel 'Thuzad had been saving up for many years, preparing to use the undead army to conquer the entire World of Azeroth. In front of the terrifying cannon fire, they painfully and helplessly walked into the abyss of destruction.
Duque couldn't stop laughing. "Fire the cannons, fire the cannons, fire the cannons! Fire all the cannons! Blast them! "
