Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1096

[Chapter 1096 Bombing]

“What’s that?”

Harriman pointed to the east, and oval-shaped off-white objects rose into the sky slowly, and they flew higher and higher.

After the first one took off, seventeen more flew up one after another.

There are eighteen in total.

Wesley was also stunned, they had never seen this thing before.

Obviously, this thing is not a hot air balloon, because the hot air balloon is not so big and the shape is different.

“Damn it, I have a premonition,” Wesley said.

Fear spread in his heart, as if they were fighting Da Song’s army for the first time on the Melaka battlefield.

At that time, everything about Da Song’s army was unknown to him.

And the unknown is the scariest thing.

Now, another unknown thing appeared on the battlefield.

They don’t know what effect this thing will have on the war.

But he knew very well that they were going to be unlucky. .

Because there is no doubt that this must be the weapon of the Great Song Army.

While the two were staring at their pockets, the gray sphere got higher and higher, flying to an altitude of about 600 meters.

After that, the spheres slowly moved towards the Western Union trenches.

This made Harriman and Wesley even more uneasy, like criminals waiting to be shot.

In addition to the two, the officers and soldiers of the Western-Turkish Allied Forces were also frightened.

These unknown things were so conspicuous and seemed to be flying over their heads that it was impossible to say that they were not afraid.

Many Xitu soldiers squatting in the trench had weak legs and kept praying.

…

“Hahaha…”

When the Western Land Allied Army was nervous because of the appearance of the airship, the generals of the Azure Dragon Army and the Suzaku Army were all excited, waiting to watch the airship’s performance.

Qin Shan and Guan Tong were also smiling, pointing at the airship and discussing.

“This will scare the natives quite a bit.” Guan Tong pinched his waist.

After the airship arrived, he saw the special throwing bombs for airships.

That thing is much larger than the shells of a howitzer. Throwing one down, it is estimated that it can blow up a workshop, let alone the artillery positions of the Western Turks.

“The only pity is that there are too few ammunition loaded, the flying is too slow, and the number of airships is not enough.” Qin Shan felt a little regretful.

For him, if there are hundreds of ships in this thing, he can shorten the time of this battle by a quarter.

But now, although the airship can cause a shock to the Allied Forces of Western Earth and deter them, it is not enough to change the situation of the battle.

But one thing is certain, after the airship bombing, the morale of the West-Turk Allied Forces will drop a lot.

First of all, although Britain regards Tianzhu as the jewel in the queen’s crown.

But it is doubtful how strong the willingness of ordinary soldiers to protect Tianzhu is.

Now, they are facing the Dasong army stronger than them, as well as the airship that appeared.

How much of their fighting faith remains is hard to say.

And this is the true meaning of airships coming to the battlefield.

“Indeed, and it is said that the emperor does not plan to produce more airships. In the future, airships will be used more for civilian use.” Guan Tong agreed with Qin Shan’s thoughts and also shook his head.

“It’s not the emperor’s temperament to use something good. He must have installed something more powerful than an airship.” Qin Shan also heard the rumor.

After stroking his beard and thinking for a while, he deduced.

“Is there anything more powerful than an airship?” Guan Tong dared not think about it.

In his opinion, the airship is already an invincible weapon.

Even if they praised the army against the airship, they would only be bombed in vain.

“According to the current development of our Da Song, there will definitely be, but it may take a while.” Qin Shan is full of confidence.

Then the two looked at the airship and stopped talking.

Just waiting for the first actual battle of the airship on the battlefield.

Just when the Xitu military officer and Dasong general all set their sights on the airship.

Eighteen airships arrived over the Xitu trench.

At this time, the soldiers in the cabin below the airship began to move.

Some soldiers observed the trenches of the Allied Forces of the West from the window of the cabin with binoculars, and passed the position of the artillery of the Allied Army to the artillerymen through semaphore.

After the airship was lifted into the air, someone specially assigned to Cannonball stared at the airship with binoculars, even if they received the battlefield information.

The other soldiers were not idle either, but opened the ammunition box in the cabin and took out conical shells one by one.

These conical shells have a large caliber, one is as thick as an adult’s thigh, and it takes two soldiers to lift it up.

After the airship hovered near the artillery of the Western Turkmenistan Army.

Soldiers carried the bomb to the middle of the compartment.

There is an opening sealed with an iron plate on the floor of the cabin here.

Lift the iron plate, and a square opening appears.

After measuring the distance, after rotating the wooden wedge on the mouth of the shell, the soldier ignited the fuse of the shell and threw it down.

The heavy shells fell from the airship and fell to the ground with a sharp whistling sound.

At this moment, Harriman, Wesley, Qin Shan and Guan Tong all held their breath.

The Xitu soldiers below the airship ran away like rabbits.

But it was too late. After a few breaths, the shells had already landed.

Immediately, a huge flame appeared.

Then, an extremely loud roar resounded across the battlefield.

At the location where the shell exploded, a large crater with a diameter of ten meters appeared.

The soldiers who were attacked by the shock wave were swept into the air, turned into rain of blood, and died on the spot. The artillery of the Western Turk Alliance Army in the explosion range was also blown to pieces.
