Chapter 152: Kunda Appears
It seems that a pair of drummers on this tower are father and son, and the father is smoking a cigarette stick vigorously, and then frowns at the faint sea level in the distance, and whispers: "What's the hurry!
After a pause, he put away his cigarette stick, rubbed his calloused hands, and said in a low voice, "For a while, follow my drum beats!"
The young drummer didn't wait for a nod, but between the sky and the sea in front of him, a yellow line suddenly lit up, it was the yellow of the firelight, which was spreading continuously, and finally it was like a crack in the night sky, and thousands of fires overflowed from it.
The war is coming, but the young drummer is dumbfounded, this is the biggest taboo of a drummer, because on the battlefield, no matter what the battle situation is, as a qualified drummer, in addition to inspecting the commander's flag, he can only stare at the word "war" in the center of the giant drum.
The old drummer was quick and slapped his son in time, and the young drummer came back to his senses and knew that he had committed a big taboo, but the overwhelming and starry firelight was too spectacular.
How many warships would it take to form a formation of this magnitude?
Looking at the "sparks" that spread down from the sea level, when there were still less than ten miles away from the raft city, dozens of wind lanterns suddenly lit up on the city wall below the tower, and then eight orange and yellow flags stood upright and fluttered in the wind.
"Boom!"
The old drummer immediately picked up the huge drum and struck it on top of it, followed by another drum, struck by the young drummer.
"Knock! knock...... Knock ......"
The sound of war drums joined together, like a woke lion, roaring in war.
Two people beat the drum louder than one person, because such a huge drum cannot be beaten continuously by a single person, even if the drum is more than seven feet, it is difficult to pick up one arm.
I only heard the deafening sound of the drum, and it was pressed down, but it did not show any panic, even the coalition fleet ten miles away could hear it really well.
Between their ships, under the light of torches and wind lanterns, it was as daylight as day, but it was still dark ahead, and only a little light on the tower of the raft city and the sound of rolling drums could be seen.
The people on the deck waiting to rush into the raft city were already grinning, as if whoever rushed first would go to the demon and the treasure on his body.
However, as the drums on the raft city on the opposite side became clearer and more deafening, a faint light suddenly flashed on the dark sea ahead.
That, it should be the reflection of the metal under the flame.
The coalition fleet, every sentry of all the front-row warships, rubbed their eyes, and when they looked again, a black and oppressive speedboat appeared in front of them, all of which had no flags, and their hulls were pitch black, and they were quietly drifting in their direction with the undulations of the waves.
"Ahead! Enemy speedboats!" "Enemy speedboats!" "Enemy warships ahead, the number is staggering!"
The different shouts of the sentinels sounded on the various warships rushing ahead, but there was only a gap for shouting, and the piles of small boats and the rows of warships were within a stone's throw of each other.
By the light of the coalition fleet, I saw that each dinghy was covered with iron spikes, and the iron spikes also had barbs on them, once they collided, it was conceivable that it would be like a spear gun stabbing a big fish, no matter how the big ship of the coalition forces swayed, it could not hold the boat that pierced into its own hull.
It was already dark night, and then I encountered a black boat with no lights and oncoming boats, a huge array of ships in front of the coalition army, and almost no warships that could dodge, even if they were lucky enough to dodge a few, they still couldn't pass through the dense boat formation.
The Lords of the World, the largest fleet of ships in history, spread out for hundreds of miles, although they nominally formed a coalition army, but they were separated, there was no unified command, and they all had their own evil intentions, and they all hoped that others would suffer and their own gains.
However, above the sea, it is changing rapidly, who can predict what will happen?
It's just that the kung fu of Sanzhuxiang, the small boat in the raft city, was confused with the front fleet of the coalition army, and the speed of the entire fleet slowed down, and the sailors on the warships of all sides were lying on their sides, looking at the dense boats under the boat, and they didn't know why.
Under the light, the dinghy was empty, but it was full of hay and oilwood, and some of them were placed with buckets of **.
"It's ...... Not good!"
Everyone's hearts tightened, people who knew "bad" began to shout, and people who didn't know why began to panic, but in the endless darkness ahead, the sound of cannon that was enough to break people's hearts still inevitably sounded.
There was no warship to be seen, but the cannonballs suddenly appeared from the darkness, pulled a shining trajectory, and finally fell to the front of the coalition fleet, so that the sea, which had been silent, finally let out the roar of water, and spewed out the beam of water several feet high, like a water dragon that suddenly jumped.
The people on every coalition ship breathed a deep sigh of relief, no matter how brilliant they had been, and no matter what dangers they had experienced, this sudden, but missable shot, still made them feel lucky.
But the celebration was indeed a bit premature, and immediately, people with a little sense understood that this cannon was nothing more than a rangefinder bomb.
The deafening drumming on the raft suddenly stopped, and then, the more deafening sound of cannons suddenly sounded, but not just one after another, one after another.
This time, the coalition forces had no chance to rejoice, and the cannonballs fired from the dark front, like a meteorite rain, instantly fell on the warship, hit the boat, and then burst into flames and exploded, rising into the sky.
Fighting fires, wailing, and fleeing for their lives......
The ship formation in front of it had exploded, but the sound of the cannons continued, coming from the darkness, bringing merciless shells here, like a man-loving fire flying from hell, about to burn up all the combustible things in this world, and burn up the never-ending greed and ugly face.
The father and son on the tower of the raft city had long since stopped beating the drums, and they could finally take a breath, listen to the sound of the cannon on the sea, and admire the flame at the front end of the "spark", which was like dancing with the accompaniment of the cannon.
If the fire is too high and the light is too bright, it can erase the bright starry sky, and on the sea outside the raft city, there is no starlight in the night sky, like a black pot bottom that burns red, who knows if the bottom of the pot is also like this battlefield on earth - the life is ruined.
Desire is a strange thing, it can make people forget fear, it can also numb people's hearts, but it is very afraid of pain and death.
As long as it hurts and dies, people will forget it and remember the old saying, "People see profit but do not see harm, and fish see food but do not see hooks." ”
In front of the coalition ship array, hundreds of warships, winding for dozens of miles, were all engulfed in flames, like a high wall of flames, so that the large number of warships coming from behind, every heart that was invaded by profit, were all deeply shocked, and then secretly rejoiced that their ships were a little slower, which was still good.
But they did not turn around and flee, but turned the bow of the boat, pressed against the sky-high flames, looked at the figures struggling in the fire and water, listened to the screams inside, and separated from the two sides of the head, and went around the two ends of the "wall of fire".
The desire to die without experiencing pain and death will certainly not end here, and the coalition fleet that has traveled thousands of miles and braved the wind and waves will not be able to die down in the event of a setback.
Standing on top of the raft city, facing the fire of the coalition fleet, illuminating her expressionless face, the wind lights swayed, no one knew what she was thinking, even Ze Mingyue, who had been standing beside her, remained silent for a long time.
"Ichiro, he's on the front line?" Ze Mingyue asked softly after considering her tone.
"I agreed, let him go!" Sakura replied lightly, she understood Doichiro's temper, and as before, everything would rush first for her.
"The first battle has been won, Your Highness can be relieved!" Ze Mingyue didn't know what to say, and comforted gently.
Shoyama Sakura Bai shook his head, and there was no reply, everyone knew that the war had just begun, and it was not so clear who could have the last laugh.
She turned to the flag bearer and said sharply: "Two-winged warship, goose-shaped battle!"
Eight flags, two red and six yellow, the drummer on the tower, the father and son, could see clearly, and the war drums immediately made a "dong dong" sound, and spread to the city, in the darkness on both sides of the sea.
Looking at the two pitch-black seas, a string of white wind lanterns suddenly lit up, one by one, which was the unique light of the Wei warship, they grew into a snake formation, and went straight to the coalition warship that had just come out of both ends of the flames, and quickly bit it.
