Chapter 98: Triangle Fortress_3

The cannons atop both semi-moon bastions adjusted their firing angles and began shooting at the Venetians below the walls of the triangular fortress.

The design of the new-era fortress finally bared its fangs, as the shape of the triangular bastion meant that projectiles fired from the rear two sides of the walls were unobstructed, without any blind spots—each cannonball was a terrifying side-shot firepower.

A cannonball fired from the east semi-moon bastion killed all the Venetian soldiers in a straight line, and finally, bouncing off the hard volcanic rock, it smashed two ladders and lodged into the wall of the triangular fortress.

Upon seeing this, Colonel Field reassigned two squads of musketeers to suppress the enemy marksmen on the rear walls of the triangular bastion. However, he knew that suppressing the enemy musketeers was of little use; the real killers were the side-firing cannons placed on the semi-moon bastions.
