Chapter 57 Shelling

It is not embarrassing to be cowardly, especially when life is at stake. Suddenly being cowardly is not only shameful, but it can even be said to be a very wise move.

Their side has no heavy weapons or automatic weapons, and support will take at least a quarter of an hour to come. And there may be many people on the other side, and they are all "thugs" who have almost no expectations for life and are ready to exchange their lives for a piece of black bread at any time.

Such "thugs" can burst out with shocking impact. They may be timid and cowardly. But driven by hunger and the leader, they can make all the large animals on the entire planet disappear into their stomachs.

In the history of the empire, there have been more than once the incident of refugees and thugs hitting towns. Although every attack ended with a complete victory in the Imperial Army, in the cemetery of Olin's "Soldier of Honor" , the tombs of more than 30,000 Imperial Army soldiers reminded everyone in the empire.

Don't underestimate the power of the thugs.

Dusander may be the most terrifying aristocrat in the entire empire who understands how terrible such a "crowd" is. Liu Ting, the chief of the pre-Qin period, and Chong Ba of the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and those who tie their heads to their belts to try their best can burst out with power that can be passed down through the ages.

Dusand does not want to be a stepping stone or background board that has been written in the story that has been passed down through the ages.

So, be more cowardly, and it’s not embarrassing.

After receiving Dusand's warning, the naval officers quickly made a decision - immediately called the landing ship to enter the field. To this end, they activated the machine that looked a bit like an armillary sphere installed on the carriage.

The brass-made instruments quickly adjusted the angle according to the instructions input by the officers, and then completed the angle follow and locking with a crisp "ding" prompt sound. Small square lenses stretched out from the brass support arm, and then wrapped the huge calcium stone in the middle of the "armillary sphere".

A beam of flame emerged from the gap wrapped in the lens. After about a few seconds, the flame disappeared in the middle of the lens. Instead, it was a fierce sound of high-pressure gas gushing out of the combustion mouth.

This armillary sphere is actually a huge calcium stone lamp with its own reflector.

As the planetary engine-like heating continued, the calcium stone began to emit dazzling light. A white light column went straight into the sky, like a white jade pillar that penetrated the sky and the earth.

"This is how the Navy uses this to determine the entry position of the landing ship?" Dusander observed the huge light column curiously, and then sighed, "This thing looks more like a shelling indicator device than the Army's black chimney..."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp "tug" sound suddenly sounded in the sky.

Everyone heard this sound, and the only one who responded to it was the Navy Captain who had just put on the Steam Knight armor and stood in the distance to watch.

"Bombardment, lie down!!!" The Captain's voice even overshadowed the ominous sound from the sky. But the officers of the Nussal garrison's naval response was still unsatisfactory. It took them several seconds to understand the action, and they fell down together after the logistics officer from Orin rushed out of the carriage and fell down.

The active-duty officer's reaction speed is not as fast as that of the logistics officer.

Compared to them, Dusander's movements were faster.

While the Captain finished calling, Dusand directly twisted the knob inside the Steam Knight to the Fire.

He kicked out his feet suddenly and rushed to the logistics carriage as fast as possible. He stretched out his giant steel hand and directly tore open the carriage carriage.

Lorraine was curled up in a wooden box covered with cotton and sleeping, which saved Dusand a lot of effort. He directly held the wooden box and Lorraine in his arms, and then grabbed Polina who turned her head to see the situation.

The place he grabbed was the back of the one-piece suit that Polina was wearing.

A few seconds later, Dusand, holding his arms, found a naturally recessed pit. He stuffed the awakened Loreen and Polina into it without hesitation, and then covered the hole with the Steam Knight's breastplate.

"Open your mouth, cover your ears, squat on the cotton and don't move!" This was the last sentence Dusand shouted.

Then, the shell landed.

When the shell exploded, the strong shock wave was the first thing that was perceived. It was like an invisible big hand that slapped Dusand on the back. The strong shock wave directly stimulated Dusand began to cough.

But he immediately stopped coughing.

Dusander was frightened to find that he could hardly fill any air into his lungs. No matter how hard he tried, his lungs still seemed to be unable to expand at all.

The bombardment time of more than ten seconds was extremely long in Dusand's subjective feeling. After the dense metal collision sounds on the armor plate behind him stopped, Dusand, whose face was almost purple, recovered. He took two breaths of air with a strong smell of earth and smoke, and then picked up the wooden frames of Lorene and Polina, who were scared to hold each other and crying together.

In the smoke and dust, the experimental cart No. 2 and the other two carriages were all destroyed. The most serious damage was the logistics carriage that Lorene and Polina had been riding in before. The gas tank on the car seemed to have exploded during the shelling. Of course, it was also possible that it was directly hit by a large-caliber shell, and the entire carriage disappeared completely.

Instead, it was a huge crater that looked very deep.

Dusander himself carried Polina and Lorene through the smoke of gunpowder and moved forward in confusion. Reason told him that he should leave the bombardment site as soon as possible and then move towards a place with shelter. But he had no idea what direction he was moving in.

My father and other naval officers didn't know what was going on. He wanted to go for a search and rescue, but he had to set up the two women he was holding first.

With his vague thoughts and thoughts, Dusander walked in the smoke with deep and shallow feet. The Steam Knight's right foot was probably impacted, and he always felt a little inadequate when moving.

After a while, Dusand suddenly saw a light flashing in front of him.

"Finally I found you!" A pitch-black crow's beak suddenly passed through the smoke and dust and appeared in front of Dusand. With this somewhat scary beak, the captain's rough but happy voice was also the captain's rough but happy voice.

Dusand was about to say hello to the Captain happily, but his eyes suddenly swept to the right hand of the Steam Knight.

Or, there should be a right hand.

There is nothing there.

The Captain seemed to have no idea that he had lost one arm. He enthusiastically patted Dusand on the shoulder with his only remaining arm. The two steam knights collided with each other, making a loud metal collision sound.

"We have to leave here quickly." The Captain said seriously. "They used guns with a large caliber, and it will take about a minute or two to fire again. Now we can be safer if we leave here."

"Sir, your hand..." Polina finally reacted from the shock, then looked at the captain's empty arms and fell into shock again.
