Chapter 781 Pirate Tactics
The iron-cast clockwork gun muzzle was shining with a cold light in the morning light, and the humming sound of gears penetrated the mist on the river.
Kale wiped the sweat from his forehead with his left back with his left hand, and his right hand, which was covered in oil, did not dare to loosen the leverage of the strip cannon at all.
In his pupils, the iron armor spreading on the pier was reflected, and the reflection on the surface of the iron armor was jumping on the hull.
The whistling of flames rolling the air, the crisp sound of weapons colliding, and the hoarse shouts of killing...
On this autumn morning, these sounds appear so abrupt in the quiet fishing port.
The rapid thunderous sound of footsteps falling on the pier was getting closer and closer.
Arrows were flying back and forth in the air, and seven or eight mountain knights carrying wounded came quickly on the pier.
"Kaler——" Old Laver, led by the head, shouted at Kaaler.
Kaler gave him a thumbs up and signaled that he was ready.
The ship beneath him swayed, and the mountain knights jumped into the ship one after another, while Old Laver continued to shoot archery to cover.
As soon as the last soldier jumped onto the ship, Old Laver screamed as soon as he turned around.
Three blue feathered arrows shot on his shoulder blades and thighs respectively.
But Lao Lafle endured the pain, picked up the axe from his waist, and cut off the cable on the stone pier with one axe.
The black smoke broke through the dock, and four soldiers in iron armor appeared at the end of the plank road.
"Holy Thunder, Holy Thunder!" Old Laver, who was rolling on the boat and lying on the deck, roared wildly.
"Pull down the lever and praise the Holy Spirit in the cannon." Kahler lowered his head, murmured towards the Holy Spirit in the cannon, and pressed heavily with his right hand.
"Boom--"
The lead and iron sand were wrapped in white smoke to draw an arc. In an instant, the wood chips and iron pieces flew together. The four Lea soldiers who caught up with the pier seemed to be overturned by invisible giant hands.
The man on the outside even rushed into the river, and a bloody color surged in the river for a moment.
"Beautiful!" Old Laver's roar made the ship tremble, "Black Snake Bay people, fireball skills!"
Five hot fireballs flew out of the ten long ships, and the Lea warship tied to the dock stone pier suddenly rose up with a blue-purple fire tongue.
Before leaving, they had already sprinkled the Lea warship with alchemy tinder.
Not just warships, there were also raging fires in this fishing port that had stored countless supplies.
The thick smoke rolled up to the top of the bell tower and swallowed up the Lea's emblem flag.
The river wind suddenly turned southeast, and the ashes of Mars fell on the guards' iron helmets like raindrops, making them slapped in a hurry.
It was this instant chaos that made these ten pointed long boats break out like arrows from the string. "Shoot the arrow! Shoot the arrow! Cough cough cough--"
The garrison officer Sir Renado, who chased to the dock, split the thick smoke with his sword, and pointed at the escaped mountain people in anger and cursed.
The thirty birch bows behind the sword pointed to each other.
The rain of arrows fell into the waves stirred by the stern of the boat, like a cannon to send off the runaway to the fugitive.
The mountain people had long covered the soaked cowhide on the side of the boat, and the arrows were twitching into the soaked leather, which failed to hurt them at all.
Looking at the mountaineers who were leaving quickly, Sir Reinardo unbuttoned the belt buckle on his chin with trembling fingers.
The next second, the beautifully decorated lion helmet slammed heavily on the dock bluestone, and half a charred holy emblem was stuck in the depression.
"Chasing me! Chasing me! You must also chase to the end of the Styx..."
The roar came to an abrupt end.
Sir Reynado turned his head and looked at the increasingly fierce warships and the soldiers who were rushing to put out the fire, and picked up his helmets: "Put the fire first, how much food in the granary can be kept..."
When Ravle arrived at the scene, his gloomy face made Reynado secretly draw a word on his forehead.
Walking quickly to the river, you can see alchemy tincture floating on the water, with strange and colorful colors exposed by the sun.
Half of the charred mast poked out of the water, and the fragments of canvas rose and fell with the waves. Broken wooden barrels and fish with tilted belly floated on the river surface, and several small wooden boats with double-person wooden boats were salvaging the bodies and remaining supplies.
"How is the loss?" Ravl's eyes twitched.
Sir Reinardo said honestly: "A squadron burned down two months of food and grass, and they also robbed a batch of weapons and weapons.
In addition, the three newly transported warships suffered serious losses.
One was damaged and could no longer be used, and the other two were expected to be repaired for three or four months before they could set sail again.
In addition, several of our cargo ships were also affected, and it is estimated that they will not be able to transport the baggage within three weeks. ”
”The rats in Thousand River Valley! "The great knight snorted coldly and walked towards the town.
Step on the stone pier covered with honeycomb-shaped melt pits, the great knight's leather boots shattered the carbonized arrow clusters.
The charred wall was left with a human-shaped outline. The follower monk was purifying the battlefield with holy water, and the water vapor and the embers made a hissing scream.
Ravr squatted down and took off an iron sand from the wall.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
He is extremely familiar with the rough texture. In the past two weeks, such incidents have emerged one after another.
Moriyati held Xia Lucheng and did not go to war rashly, but she sent a large number of mountain knights.
The mountain knights rode on the dragon-headed warship commonly used by the old Norn pirates, and adopted the riding/navigilance looting tactics of Dianzhongdian.
That is, in cooperation with the mage transferred from Black Snake Bay, launched a raid on the ports and baggage camps occupied by the Lea people.
But Ravl had to admit that the Lea people were indeed not very good at water wars, especially in the Thousand River Valleys.
No matter how powerful Batis and the others are, they will not be able to understand the river clearly in a few months.
Battis and others' preliminary preparations, the accumulated advantages, can win several outer fortresses, even if it is of great use.
And the damn flange man also provided a large number of experienced flange crews to Thousand River Valley.
A few factors have repeatedly allowed these mountain people to escape.
Looking at the gentle current, Ravl turned around and asked at the attendant beside him, "Duke of Wings said, when will the flood break out at the latest?"
"End of last month."
Sighing, Ravl knew that the battle would not go so smoothly.
In one month, they swallowed three-quarters of Hotam County, leaving only the lonely city of Xia Lucheng and most of the Luwa Township.
His Highness Ginnigis is expected to arrive in Thousand Rivers Valley in November after he settled his country.
But after the initial rush, these mountain people actually stabilized the defense line in Luwa Township.
As for Xia Greentown, order was quickly restored.
The city wall here is already extremely strong. The Lea people were all defended after several attacks.
The autocratic man even took the battle himself and attacked the Lea people's baggage camp at night, causing the siege to stagnate.
Now this kind of logistical tactic has been developed.
Even Ravl has to admire the resilience of these mountain people at this moment.
Borders such as Thorn Garden and Gravel Plain are fine. If they were placed in inland areas such as windmill land and river island, it would have been like a civil war, and they would have been defeated thousands of miles away.
With the arrival of His Highness Ginnigis, a large number of refined Knights of the Eternal Army are expected to be.
Their number is close to one thousand, enough to gather ten imperial orders.
Ravr thought he was pretty good, and it would be tragic if the people of Qianhe Valley faced an opponent like the Eternal Life Army.
"These damn Thousand River Valley rats." After cursing again, Ravl ordered, "Try to transport the baggage and other supplies in the future."
