Chapter 155: Caravan, Lonely City
Shoyama Sakura is wearing silver armor and is coldly watching the enemy fleet that is frantically shelling here with binoculars.
She didn't blink, it seemed that even her heartbeat had stopped, she was unusually calm at the moment, calmly waiting for whether the unscrupulous ships in the mirror tube had changed.
In a short time, the change really happened, and dozens of warships in the coalition fleet suddenly tilted from the steady.
Shoyama Sakura Bai watched as more and more enemy ships began to sink and capsize in the mirror tube, and there was a crowd of people on it, and it was very chaotic.
She finally stopped being calm, let out a long breath, and then said tremblingly: "It's time, it's time for us to fight back!"
No one would have thought that the coalition fleet, composed of most of the powers and forces of the Destruction Lord, would suddenly leak and sink on the sea without wind and waves.
Just as no one would have thought that there would be a reef in the raft city, they would not have watched the city they had created be destroyed in war.
There were very few of them, but they still took up their weapons and dived to the bottom of the sea, in their own way, to punish these guys who brought the flames of war to Raft City.
The sound of cannon fire became the best cover for digging the bottom of the ship, and when the cold sea water climbed out of the bilge and touched the surface of the pulpher's feet, everyone was still wondering where the water came from, it was so cold.
When the upper gun carriage rubbed against the deck, and the gunners were cursing the people below for how to tilt the ship, they knew that the ship was leaking, so they panicked above, and followed the panic below.
People with wooden barrels and basins rushed to pour the water from the bottom bilge through the paddle window, and the good ones had dived into the water, hoping to find the leak hole and plug it.
The coalition's artillery fire suddenly slowed down and became sparse, shocking everyone who survived the raft city.
On the tower of the city wall, the father and son drummers also straightened up excitedly, and five bright red flags appeared in front of them, which was the signal of an all-out counterattack, a lion who was always bullied, finally broke free from the chains, and could indulge his teeth and claws into the flesh and blood of the enemy.
Who will hesitate, where will there be time to hesitate, father and son raised the drum......
But at this moment, the debris fell to the ground like ice and snow in the depths of winter, and a cannonball from nowhere hit the drum rack.
The sound of the drum stand shattering stunned the son and pierced the father's heart, and in an instant, the huge war drum would roll down, and at that time, the last sound of the counterattack would be interrupted above the tower of the father and son.
What a sin it was, and what a bitter repentance, they could not afford it, even if it cost with their lives.
The father's eyes were quick, and he pounced forward, and used his back to cushion the broken stubble of the drum rack, and blood poured out of his back in an instant, and the broken stubble had pierced into his body, but he, still stubbornly standing still, shouted to the young drummer who was already stunned: "Son!
Above the city wall, the highest tower, the drum of the counterattack is a little special, not as rapid as usual, but it seems to carry a weight of ten thousand catties, just like the heartbeat of a person, it is the heartbeat of the raft city, but it is more exciting, everyone knows that the counterattack has begun.
Braving the occasional stray bullets dropped by the coalition forces, the soldiers of the raft city unveiled their body-covered cannons, heavy crossbows, and trebuchets waiting to be assembled.
The cannon first let out a roar of counterattack, like a meteor's cannonball, and fell into the enemy's ship, and if any of them were unlucky, they would be disemboweled, leaving only a few poles, or half of the stern.
And the crossbow arrows of the raft city like a blowout moth have become a nightmare for people on the deck of the coalition army.
They overwhelm the sky with a "whoosh" laugh, then harvest all the life on the deck, and then turn into a bright red "lifeweed" that slanted against the sky.
The people on the coalition ship already knew that there were people sabotaging underwater, and they also remembered the ancient tribe of the Sea Reef Clan, and they knew better that the artillery fire of the raft city did not have an advantage over their own side, so they took advantage of their chaotic season to counterattack.
Just above this endless sea of ice, in the midst of the changing battle situation.
Those who are dying will regret why they are so stupid, and they left home, gave up a comfortable life, and lost their lives in vain when they came here for the hard gold coin.
And those who are still alive want to live tenaciously, and they brave the cannonballs and crossbow arrows of the raft city, and pour bags of caustic soda into the sea water under the ship, and the sea water turns white in an instant.
Finally, a foul smell came out, and the water under the boat, as if boiling, bubbled up in dense bubbles, and then followed by the bubbles, floating one after another the corpses of the reef people.
Their senses had been burned out, and a faint amount of blood was pouring out, and the blood mixed with the white water made people feel cheerful, and surrounded the corpse, like egg flowers boiled in boiling water.
Moreover, man's exploitation of the sea has created a variety of ways to deal with the creatures in the water, and fishing nets with countless tiny barbs have been braided, and lead ingots are hung from the four corners, which have been thrown into the water.
The fishing net is like the open claws of the osprey, and the reef people who are still struggling in the water are the fish that cannot escape, once they are "caught", they can no longer break free, and even if they break the skin and flesh, they can only sink to the bottom of the sea with lead ingots.
Langa couldn't see anything, he lurked in this sea with all his people, destroying enemy ships, but he didn't expect to encounter danger at all, maybe he had been frozen for too long and had forgotten the dangers of the world, maybe he had never experienced nine deaths.
However, people who have not experienced nine deaths must die so easily, and survival is the instinct of every living being.
He gripped the center keel at the bottom of the enemy's ship, and then fixed his whole body under the keel with a rope, and then gradually, he lost consciousness.
The fleet of the alliance forces on the sea, there are water thieves from the endless South China Sea, there are also merchant groups from the Bihua Continent, there are heinous villains, and there are also heroes who are famous for thousands of miles, and the biggest disadvantage of their combination is disunity, and the greatest benefit is also disunity.
Who cares about the cries of those who have fallen into the water, who cares about the ups and downs of other ships, they are only busy adjusting the gun holes, carrying ammunition, aiming at the raft city, and continuing to fire.
But the defenders of the raft city will not back down this time, because their highness, their king, and their goddess, the shoyama cherry blossoms, are standing at the head of the city.
Artillery fire against artillery, artillery fire against artillery fire, perhaps the fiercest battle in the world, will also depict the most wonderful battlefield.
As a result, the smoke of gunpowder has become the coarsest embellishment, and the fire is nothing more than a simple dress, and the people who have sacrificed their lives and forgotten death, tears and blood are mixed with sweat, and then spread to the entire battlefield, which is the most shocking and magnificent picture.
The roar of the drums of war inspires those who are exhausted but desperately resisting.
The beat of the drum was heavy and slowly became rapid, like every unyielding heart, beating excitedly.
Even if the former friends, the original relatives, and the current comrades-in-arms have become piles of lifeless "meat".
But as long as this "meat" can still breathe and move, it will be mechanically carried, loaded, and fired.
Maybe some of them have broken arms, some are still bleeding, and some can only crawl on the ground, but they have never given up their responsibility on the battlefield.
The trebuchet was finally assembled, a huge throwing rod was erected, and then pressed into the spring and loaded into a pre-prepared bamboo basket, which was round and covered with a thin layer of paper.
If this is a banquet, this is the "finale dinner" prepared by Raft City for the coalition forces, and the previous ones were just some hors d'oeuvres, and when the big meal was served, the "guests" of course had to taste it.
When this bamboo basket, with the flicking of the pole, dozens of leather strips from short to long, and then from long and ultra-short, flew towards the coalition army.
boasting about the long sea, brushing the clouds in the sky, the bamboo basket bomb searched again and again, and finally found his own home, like a delicate baby, desperately plunged into the long-awaited embrace.
It was a huge ship with red paint, with more than a dozen guns on board, facing the raft city, pouring ** unscrupulously.
The bamboo basket instantly cracked when it touched the deck, and there was a "buzzing" sound inside, it didn't seem to be a big deal, this kind of battlefield, there was no **, no hot shells, what else could the enemy fear?
On top of the red boat, there are brave sailors who have already drawn their waist knives, intending to cut open the "gift" given by this raft city to see what is inside.
The knife was very fast, and the sailor used all his strength, but before the blade touched the bamboo basket, the bamboo basket shattered by itself, and a black current instantly rose from it.
