The artillery of the Wehrmacht was not placed at the top of the city, but within the city walls.
When in use, open the window and extend the muzzle to bombard the enemy.
Although the range of fire will be affected, it is not a problem as long as there are enough artillery.
Why not put it on the spacious city wall?
It can also make the smoke dissipate faster.
Unless you want the barrel to freeze in extremely cold weather.
Of course, the artillery of the National Defense Forces are all light rifles, so it is not a big deal to put them inside the city wall.
The Mongols didn't have any strong cities, so their heavy artillery had no use.
Artillery that can catch up with the Mongols is a good artillery.
Although the cold wind howled in after the gun window was opened, it was still more comfortable to hide in the room and fire the gun than to stand in the open air.
Especially after one shot, a raging heat wave began to fill the room, making the artillerymen all groan in comfort.
They happily took off their clothes and began rearranging the launch, shirtless.
Mongolian artillery shells and Wehrmacht artillery shells have different states when flying.
The Mongolian artillery shell was a black spot with extremely fast speed, and people watched helplessly as it hit it, splashing large amounts of smoke and dust.
The Wehrmacht's artillery shells formed an arced line in the air, and they fell down with almost no reaction time.
In the black and red billowing smoke, the violent air waves pushed all the debris unreasonably in all directions, unstoppable.
At this time, even ice and snow have become deadly weapons.
When the snowflakes dance in the air, they are soft and beautiful.
But after falling on the ground and being blown by the cold wind, it quickly became as hard as armor.
When this kind of snow is blown away by the explosion wave, it can even penetrate wooden boards and naturally turn the human body into a honeycomb.
Nijinsky groaned and sat down on the ground. Then he jumped up and turned around to run away.
But he didn't run out for a few steps, only to come back with fear and helplessness.
The Wehrmacht artillery made him feel fear.
The legendary Central Plains dynasty did not seem to be as rich and weak as the rumors in Europe, but rather too powerful.
This discovery must be reported to the governor and then to the king.
Russia's eastward expansion plan may have to change.
He knew he couldn't delay, but he couldn't go back.
Because it is absolutely impossible for him to cross the vast snowfield at this time with the small team of more than a dozen people in his hand.
If they really do that, they will definitely become the most artistic sculptures.
He could only wait helplessly for the Mongols to retreat, and then go back with them.
In terms of specifications, the rifles of the National Defense Forces are even smaller than the artillery sold to the Khalkha Mongols by the Russians.
But both in terms of power and range, they are not even a bit higher.
Especially the Wehrmacht artillery at high altitudes.
So the artillery that the Mongols spent a lot of money to buy turned into scrap metal at the beginning of the war.
Nijinsky was terrified.
As an experienced officer, this was the first time he had seen such superb counter-artillery tactics.
This is not just about powerful artillery.
The knowledge involved here is enough for the most knowledgeable person to spend a lifetime studying it.
At the very least, he could guarantee that even if he searched all over Russia, he could not find such an outstanding talent.
However, in this barbaric land, in a lonely castle, there seemed to be many such talents.
He suddenly felt that this land seemed dangerous and dangerous.
The Mongols had thirty artillery pieces, so they had never seen the spectacular sight of a hundred artillery pieces firing at the same time.
[In view of the general environment,
This time they saw it, so they died.
The entire snowfield was churning, and the Mongols who were stumbling on the ground were buried together in the thick snow before they could warm up their bows.
No one will dig them up and put them in the ground again.
They will just freeze to a solid state here, and then completely rot when spring comes.
Rot is a disgusting thing, but the magic is that after decay, it nourishes the earth best.
The fertile black soil is the result of thousands of years of decay of living creatures.
Amidst the sound of gunfire and artillery, the Mongols' morale collapsed.
But they didn't run away.
It's not that I don't want to escape, but it takes more effort to turn around and escape.
After all, the city wall was already very close. At this time, we turned around and ran back, and we still had to walk more than three thousand meters.
A distance that made the Mongolians give up even trying to survive.
This is winter in the far north.
Amidst the overwhelming sound of gunfire, a few Mongolians finally rushed to the city.
The Mongolian princes and nobles in the distance stretched their necks, temporarily ignoring the severe cold.
Their eyes sparkled with excitement, eager for these hybrids of slaves and warriors to storm the castle.
Really, I treat people as cattle and sheep on weekdays, but now I expect them to turn into tigers.
It can only be said that the greed of the Mongolian princes and nobles is really inhumane.
The poor Mongolian warriors did not know the dirty deeds of the princes and nobles.
They are also very excited.
They took out their bows, nocked arrows, and prepared to show their bravery.
But then his expression turned into astonishment.
Because from their perspective, they couldn't even see the enemies in the city.
If you can't see the enemy, how can you draw a bow and shoot an arrow?
But the muskets from above were able to hit them, causing them to die one after another.
What the simple and ignorant Mongolians don't understand at all is that there is a science in this world called defensive architecture.
In desperation, they could only put away their bows and arrows angrily, and then climbed up the slope.
There are slopes like this on the outside of every bastion wall. It looks inconspicuous, but it is the focus of defense, even more important than the city wall.
Here, with this slope, even trenches are dispensed with.
After all, the terrifying heavy snow can fill up even the largest trench. From the outside, it looks the same as the plain.
The slope is not very shaky, about 35 degrees, so it's very subtle.
The subtlety is that it looks easy to climb to the naked eye.
In fact, as soon as the Mongolian hands and feet were put on, they slipped off.
The surface of the slope had long been splashed with water.
When the weather gets cold, water turns to ice.
With the Mongolians' crude weapons, it was impossible to cut ice to stabilize their bodies, so they had to play on the slide.
Playing on a slide on the battlefield is naturally funny.
So the soldiers of the National Defense Force were on top, laughing and firing slowly.
From their point of view, such a slope has no blind spots, and the Mongols have no place to hide.
More and more Mongols died, and eventually... all of them died.
The number of Wehrmacht casualties was...
zero!
Only one unlucky guy was hit by a cannonball on the wall next to him, and the debris hit his hand, bleeding profusely.
The doctor who bandaged him said that if he dared to howl, he would be thrown from the city wall.
So the hospital in the castle was empty, and the bored doctors and nurses simply played cards.
