#333: New city wall defensive war

When the ding resounds, entire camp gets up like boiling general. 当钟声响起,整个营地就像沸腾起来一般。 Van'er runs out of the tent, rushes to the top with stream of people half step, enters own operational position. This set of process had already trained innumerable, even if nobody directs, everybody is also clear then to make anything. 凡纳冲出帐篷,跟着人流快步奔上墙头,进入自己的作战位置。这一套过程早已演练了无数遍,即使没有人指挥,大家也清楚自己接下来要做什么。 When with last year of Months of Demons is the same, under the alert posture each city wall only arranges few patrol leaders, the scattered Evil Beast 2-3 individuals can deal with. If the lookout post observes the large-scale Evil Beast group attack, meets the resounding warning. 和上一年邪月时一样,警戒状态下每段城墙只安排少量巡逻队,零零散散的邪兽两三个人就能应付。若瞭望哨观察到大规模邪兽群袭击,才会鸣响警报。 In the horizon a shadow is approaching, Van'er has estimated under the number of enemy approximately, probably about thousand-- place for one year ago, then can be the field difficult fight absolutely. As being responsible for the long ringer who the flintlock team wins the filling time, he must with preparing the member takes turns to insist alternately finally. 地平线上一席黑影正在靠近,凡纳大致估算了下敌人的数目,大概有千余头左右——放在一年前,接下来绝对会是场艰苦的战斗。作为负责为火枪队争取装填时间的长枪手,他必须和预备队员交替轮换才能坚持到最后。 But now, the small town strength had the tremendous changes. 但现在,小镇的力量已有了翻天覆地的变化。 Cat's Claw opened the artillery clothes, exposed snow, Rodney has inspected the field artillery gun tube, confirmed after inside did not have the foreign matter, started to load the ammunition. Although the present city wall changes to the soil to build, but the altitude and width increase, and every other 100 meters are equipped with a bombing platform, making the defensive fire greatly enhance. 猫爪揭开炮衣,抖落积雪,罗德尼检查了遍野战炮炮管,确认里面没有异物后开始装填弹药。现在的城墙虽然改为泥土堆砌,不过高度和宽度都有所增加,并且每隔100米设有一处炮击平台,使得防御火力大大提高。 The corridor width can pass through for four people abreast in row, when fight the first row is the flintlock member, the second row is the recruit ammunition loader, the latter is responsible for filling in the cylinder the bullet, gives the front official soldier again. 过道宽度可以供四人并排通行,战斗时第一排为火枪队员,第二排则是新兵装填手,后者负责将子弹填入弹巢,再交给前面的正式士兵。 „They do not dislike bothersomely,” Rodney has had a yawn, „every year Months of Demons go crazy will run over, even if captures small town, doesn't have any advantage to them?” “它们就不嫌烦么,”罗德尼打了个哈欠,“每年邪魔之月都会发疯似地跑过来,就算攻入小镇,对它们也没有任何好处吧？” „Happen to can practice acquiring a skill to us,” Nelson said with a smile, „compared with fixed motionless wood/blockhead target, Evil Beast hit more interesting.” “正好可以给我们练手,”纳尔逊笑道,“比起固定不动的木头靶子,还是邪兽打起来更有趣。” „Speaking of the target practice, recently I heard an interesting hearsay, was related with our cannon team,” a Jop face said mystically. “说到打靶,最近我听到了一个有趣的传闻,跟我们火炮队有关,”柚皮一脸神秘地说。 „What hearsay is?” “是什么传闻？” „Listened to the people of other artillery groups saying that hits the accurate person to be organized into a elite artillery team, undertook the brand-new task,” his paused, „did anyone of you know more inside stories?” “听其他炮组的人说,打得准的人会被编入一支精锐炮队,担负起全新的任务,”他顿了顿,“你们有谁知道更多内情吗？” „Elite artillery team?” “精锐炮队？” „Said that experienced you do not know, how we possibly understood are more.” “连自称见多识广的你都不知道,我们怎么可能了解更多。” „Perhaps is who idles bored, baseless and irrational concoctions.” “说不定是谁闲得无聊,胡编乱造的吧。” In the artillery group only then Van'er has not made noise, after hearing the Jop words, he cannot help but frowned, unexpectedly did some people regard to show off to say this matter? 炮组中只有凡纳没有出声,听到柚皮的话后,他不由得皱起了眉头,居然有人将这事当成炫耀说出去了？ Sir Iron Axe once had looked for him one week ago, and told him the His Highness the Prince plan to develop new cannon, is completely different from the field artillery that the present uses, will not pay the First Army use, but must place to the ship on, making it warship that had the long-distance range attack capability. The new cannon operator in most outstanding the member by the cannon team will hold the post, if thinks that joining, can apply to Iron Axe. 铁斧大人在一个星期前曾找过他,并告诉他王子殿下打算研制一门新型火炮,与现在使用的野战炮完全不同,也不会交付第一军使用,而是要安置到船上,使其成为拥有远距离攻击能力的战船。新型火炮的操作手将由火炮队中最优秀的成员担任,如果想加入的话,可以向铁斧申请。 Van'er without hesitation complied certainly, this is in the army can obviously a more further opportunity, according to the view of Iron Axe, His Highness the Prince is high to this new branch of the services expectation, even may be separated from First Army, becomes a brand-new army. If can make the great merit, from now on new manufacture warship also by the name name of meritorious outstanding. 凡纳当然毫不犹豫地答应了,这显然是个在军中能更进一步的机会,按铁斧的说法,王子殿下对这支新的兵种期望甚高,甚至有可能脱离第一军,成为一支全新的军队。若能立下大功,今后新制造的战船还会以功勋卓绝者的名字命名。 This is the what kind of glory! If warship is called H.M.S. Van'er, this whole life will be well satisfied. Recalled oneself at first are only mining site handyman, always brags uncommonly, finally actually cannot preserve including oneself younger brother's life in the stronghold common people hole. But now he has not needed to show off any-- army not to worry to eat and drink again, the uniform/subdue is thick \; Even if returns to the community, the surrounding neighbor can also call his name. 这是何等的荣耀！假若有一艘战船叫做凡纳号的话,他这辈子都会心满意足。回想自己最初只是一名矿区杂工,却总是自诩不凡,结果在要塞平民窟却连自己弟弟的性命都没能保住。而现在他已无需再夸耀什么——军队不愁吃喝,制服厚实暖和\;即使回到小区,周围的邻居也能叫出他的名字。 All these are the changes that your highness has. 这一切都是殿下来带的改变。 Wants initially, oneself for an egg, but the decision of joining militia team, simply is in this life the wisest choice. 想当初,自己为了一个鸡蛋而加入民兵队的决定,简直是这一生中最明智的选择。 Moreover Iron Axe also inquired that he does have the candidate of appropriate recommendation, when the time comes can also one and applies to come up. In other words, these young fellows may have the opportunity of this becoming outstanding, but they in too bracelet, waits for the calm point to be good. Moreover they, if makes the great merit, these warship can also call H.M.S. Jop, the Cat's Claw number? Too was simply coarse...... H.M.S. Rodney and H.M.S. Nelson can also consider actually. 另外铁斧还询问他有没有合适推荐的人选,到时候也可以一并申请上去。换句话说,这些毛头小伙子都有可能获得这个出人头地的机会,不过他们是在太跳脱,还是等沉稳一点才好。而且他们若是立下大功的话,难道那些战船也得叫柚皮号,猫爪号？简直太难听了……罗德尼号、纳尔逊号倒是还能考虑一下。 Cannot bear as for some people these news discloses to matter, but must report to explain to Iron Axe, after all in the rule class said very clearly, First Army any news, only if the higher authority had the explicit request, otherwise can not spread arbitrarily. 至于有人忍不住把这些消息透露给手下的事情,还得向铁斧汇报说明,毕竟条例课上讲得很清楚,第一军的任何消息,除非上级有明确要求,否则不得擅自扩散开来。 „Do not shout, now gives me to put the battlefield to come up the attention,” Van'er coughs two, interrupts the artillery group member's discussion, „do not forget Sir Iron Axe to repeatedly stress in the class, any fault probably brings the failure that is unable to recall.” “不要嚷嚷了,现在都给我把注意力都放到战场上来,”凡纳咳嗽两声,打断炮组成员的讨论,“别忘了铁斧大人在课上反复强调过,任何一次失误都可能带来无法挽回的失败。” „Yes!” The people said with one voice. “是！”众人齐声道。 Because the solid iron ball killing efficiency is too low, when copes with the Evil Beast group after is other opposite party neared, fires with the shrapnel. When appearance fierce Wolf species bridges over 100 rice-flour noodles, bombing started. 由于实心铁球杀伤效率过低,对付邪兽群时都是等对方抵近后用霰弹射击。当面目狰狞的狼种率先跨过100米线时,炮击开始了。 The heat wave has curled up muzzle below snow, the giant bellow shakes the fresh pain the ear of Van'er, the distant place black blood fog raises suddenly, Evil Beast gets down immediately but actually a piece. The wild boar or Bear species, their furs are not enough to arrive in the bombardment of Tetsumaru short distance. 热浪卷起了炮口下方的积雪,巨大的轰鸣声将凡纳的耳朵震得生痛,远处黑色的血雾陡然扬起,邪兽顿时倒下去一片。无论是野猪还是熊种,它们身上的毛皮都不足以抵达铁丸近距离的轰击。 „There has only everybody,” left front Cat's Claw direction, „red skin Wolf species!” “那儿有只大家伙,”猫爪指向左前方,“红皮狼种！” The group of people move the gun carrier agily, the muzzle adjustment to the target direction, loads to fire-- once more theoretically, the shrapnel does not need to aim, so long as is opening fire to the front, can always sweep but actually a big piece of enemy. Moreover the newly-built soil city wall is higher than the stone wall, Wolf species has no way to threaten the top, first attack this flexible Evil Beast, nothing but is stems from the training target practice the goal. 一伙人利索地移动炮车,将炮口调整至目标方向,再次装填击发——理论上来说,霰弹没有必要瞄准,只要对着前方开火,总能扫倒一大片敌人。而且新建的泥土城墙比石头墙更高,狼种也没法威胁到墙头,优先攻击这种灵活的邪兽,无非是出于训练打靶的目的罢了。 Then finally was one's turn has repressed for a long time flintlock team, to guarantee hit probability, when they always 50 meters nearby open fire. 接下来终于轮到了按捺已久的火枪队,为了保证命中率,他们总是等到50米附近才开枪。 When revolving rifle sound not like Flintlock uniform, but is crowded and continuously, the top has hiked up the intermittent white smoke, the niter smoke that irritates the nose transmits, making him unable to bear sneeze. 转轮步枪的声音不像燧发枪时那样整齐划一,而是密集且连绵不断,城头飘起了阵阵白烟,呛人的硝烟味传来,让他忍不住打了个喷嚏。 „This group of idiots, might is obviously small, hits the smoke to brave more than anyone,” Jop complained. “这帮蠢货,明明威力小得不行,打起来烟冒得比谁都多,”柚皮抱怨道。 „But must by the cannon decision war, Rodney express the support finally”, „copes with Knight so, copes with Evil Beast also should so.” “但最终还是要由火炮决定战局,”罗德尼表示赞同,“对付骑士是如此,对付邪兽也应该如此。” In this time, rapid bell sound that the lookout post direction transmits, this discovers the Evil Beast Hybrid's early warning. 就在此时,瞭望哨方向传来的急促的钟鸣,这是发现混合种邪兽的预警。 Van'er narrows the eyes to focus to the front to look, sees only two groups of gigantic shadows to lead the way in the smog slowly, from the build, should has Siege Beast of heavy/thick carapace. 凡纳眯着眼向前方望去,只见两团硕大的黑影在烟雾中缓缓前行,从体型来看,应该是拥有厚重甲壳的攻城兽。 „Just said that what is coming?” He draws out the corners of the mouth, „the present arrives we display, trades the tip solid ball.” “刚说什么来着？”他咧起嘴角,“现在就到我们表现的时候了,换尖头实心弹。” In order to deal with this defensive power high enemy, the new shell that the ordnance factory develops can pass through the carapace of opposite party about 200 meters, if attacked Wolf species Evil Beast a moment ago is the warm-up, now was the fire for effect. 为了应付这种防御力较高的敌人,兵工厂开发出的新型炮弹能在200米左右贯穿对方的甲壳,如果说刚才攻击狼种邪兽是热身活动,现在就是正式射击了。 „Does well,” Van'er claps saying that „makes other artillery groups have a look, who is the sharpest cannon soldier.” “好好干,”凡纳拍手道,“让其他炮组看看,谁才是最精锐的火炮兵。” …… ……
