Doomsday Code

Chapter 362: Hiding for a while

When the smoke cleared, it was discovered that these dozens of mortars had already fired a full half of the base amount of ammunition.

When Huidun Xiaodun and Chen Cheng walked out of the tent, they saw that the area hundreds of meters ahead had turned into a bloody mud under the moonlight.

There were countless bullet holes of all sizes, and there was no trace of those who had come for the sneak attack or assassination.

Chen Cheng looked at the situation in front of him and shook his head:

"The ammunition behind this is a complete waste."

Huidun said with a painful look on his face:

"Just to deal with these guys, my half-stock ammunition cost me thousands of gold coins."

And Xiao Dun was also using this in actual combat for the first time in the true sense. He was scratching his head when he saw this situation:

"Oh my god, this is too powerful."

Previously, Xiao Dun arranged this tactic according to the data of a cannon he measured in the experimental field, but he never expected that the power of this artillery fire was not addition, but multiplication.

Because once the target's defense is breached by artillery fire, he will be seriously injured immediately, and then only one shot will be needed to kill the target.

Just like these assassins just now.

The leader among them was at the peak of the gold level. In the first round of fire, he actually shattered quite a few shells. At the same time, his fighting spirit protected his body, so he was not seriously injured.

However, when two or three rounds of shells fell continuously, he could no longer withstand the power of the explosions.

And when his battle shield was broken, just one shell took away half of his body.

This is the case with the strongest ones, not to mention the others. They were either killed in the first round or died in the next two or three rounds.

So the next dozen or so rounds were just a whipping of the corpses by artillery shells, and it was not just a whipping of the corpses, but they were also buried with mud, blood and flesh.

The reason why the plan formulated by Xiao Dun was only half a base number was because the bearing capacity of the gun barrel was only half a base number. After firing half a base number, the gun barrel had to stop and cool down.

Otherwise, with Xiao Dun's excitement about using artillery in actual combat for the first time, he would definitely let his men have as much fun as they wanted.

And those knights who fired the cannons were also experiencing actual combat for the first time. They saw that the leading assassin's momentum was even stronger than that of their own knight leader, but he was reduced to ashes under their rounds of artillery fire. They felt very refreshed.

"Alright, little brats. Today the Earl is generous enough to give you guys a chance to practice. You have to study the tactics when you go back. Don't waste military funds like this next time."

As Xiao Dun spoke, he kicked a subordinate in front of him who was grinning foolishly.

"What a joke! This time it's because the enemy didn't know the power of the artillery, otherwise the leader would have relied on speed to turn to the side, and you would have been defeated this time, right?

After you go back, write me a summary of your experience and shortcomings of this night's battle."

This time, all the knights stopped laughing.

Huidun did not interfere too much with Xiao Dun's military management. He came to the battlefield where the smoke had cleared and picked up a piece of leftover rag.

Then he clapped his hands and said:

"It's already very late. Let's pack up and go back to the tent to sleep. We have to travel tomorrow."

After hearing what Huidun said, Chen Cheng actually felt a little sleepy.

After saying hello, he returned to his tent and went to sleep.

The next morning, Chen Cheng, who was still sleeping, was awakened by Daha.

When he opened his eyes and saw Daha nudging him with his big head, he wanted to yell.

But then he remembered that he was not in the college dormitory.

At this time, Huidun also lifted the curtain and walked in, but his face was a little pale.

"Oh, I thought you were still sleeping soundly. Now that you're awake, get up quickly, wash up and have breakfast. We have to get on the road as soon as possible.

Try to reach your destination today, or there will be flies buzzing around at night."

As he spoke, Huidun made a fly-swatting gesture.

Chen Cheng yawned, then smiled and said:

"The peak gold-level strength is now just a fly in the eyes of the earl. Your fly swatter is really powerful."

Huidun waved his hand and said:

"I'd rather never use such an expensive fly swatter. This is just the cheapest mortar. If it was a howitzer, I would have destroyed it last night."

Huidun was just joking with Chen Cheng, but the cost of the shells is really high nowadays, especially because the supply chain is not yet formed, the price of raw materials is extremely expensive.

After washing up and having breakfast, the Knight Guard quickly packed up the tent, and then put out and cleaned the campfire from last night.

Even the 100-meter area that was bombarded by artillery fire last night was restored to its original appearance after one night of use.

At this time, Chen Cheng also knew why Huidun's face turned pale when he came to call him. He used a large amount of earth magic to soothe the area that was washed by artillery fire, which resulted in insufficient magic power, causing his face to turn pale.

When Huidun saw Chen Cheng looking at that area, he knew that Chen Cheng would guess it.

"It's better to hide it for a while. After all, the weapon's greatest power will be demonstrated in its first actual combat."

Then everyone got on the Wind Wolf and began to follow the guidance of the token towards the destination.

Just when Huidun and his companions left at noon, a group of masked men rushed over from another place.

When they didn't see the corpses all over the ground, they all showed surprise on their faces.

The leader was lurking here yesterday to assassinate, and did not return all night. Now they came to investigate and why there is no sign of a fight.

Just when they were puzzled, the shadows beneath them illuminated by the sunlight twisted, and then, amidst their confusion and exclamations, they were all pierced through the heart by their own shadows and died.

After they died, Aoi slowly emerged from the shadows.

He looked at the land that had been leveled and restored by magic, and then controlled the shadows of the corpses, swallowing up all of their bodies.

"Your Highness Huidun really has good ideas. Since you don't want them to exist in this world, I will help you."

After devouring the corpse with his shadow, his figure once again dived into the shadow and disappeared.

At this time, Huidun, who had already gone far away, had no idea that there were people following behind to investigate, and these investigators were all strangled to death by Kuiyi sent by Moss XIII.

After finishing their lunch, Huidun and his party came to the Hengduan Grand Canyon deep in the mountains, and their destination was across the canyon.

And above this thousand-foot-high canyon, there is no path to cross.

Then everyone dismounted the Wind Wolves and began to cut down the thousand-year-old trees growing on the edge of the canyon, preparing to use these old trees to build a wooden bridge leading to the opposite side.
