Chapter 343: Pursuit

After all, retreat is not a one-time thing, and now it is only the city walls that have been abandoned, and the city of Brother Port has become an out-and-out minefield, especially near the cloud catapult, not to mention.

Not only is there a dense array of black powder mines, but there is also an elite detachment led by the Eternal Night Army to guard here.

This elite detachment is mainly long-range, especially the kind of large sniper crossbow, the whole is a miniature version of the ballista, the range and accuracy, are quite amazing, the Kingsley family drove the cattle that went to the thunder, generally could not hold three arrows, and then fell to the ground and died, let alone ordinary soldiers.

This has undoubtedly added many obstacles to the Kingsley family's minesweeping work.

"Let them wait for my signal before acting. Akmaiser couldn't leave his allies dry, and at the same time gave a death order, "Speed up, regardless of casualties." ”

When Akmerse's death order was given, the Kingsley family's advance was significantly faster.

No matter how dense the array of black powder mines arranged by the Eternal Night Army Leader is, there is an upper limit to the number of black powder mines, and there is no way to replenish them.

After paying a certain amount of human life as a price, the Kingsley family also somewhat touched the thunder skills.

It's no longer about sending cannon fodder or livestock, rushing forward in a swarm.

Instead, two cannon fodder or two cattle dragged the round tree pole and rolled forward, wading out of a road.

The speed of advancement is undoubtedly much faster.

"I can't bear it, and I'm ready to retreat. ”

"As planned, blast the catapult. ”

"The blast site is ready. ”

Rumble!

"The blasting is complete, and all the staff retreats. ”

The soldiers defending along the river led by the Eternal Night Army didn't get too entangled with the Kingsley family at all, and saw that their mine array couldn't be defended.

Decisively carried out a fixed-point blasting on the core parts of the cloud catapult, and after confirming that it had been completely paralyzed, he boarded the warship in the port without hesitation and evacuated directly.

The cost of uprooting a cloud catapult may not be much, but when there are hundreds of such points, it is a bit scary.

Akmesser had no good way to think of it, so he could only push it flat little by little.

"These guys' battle plans are so rigorous that they don't give us any chance to take advantage of them. Akmesser sighed as he stood beneath the first trebuchet.

From a distance, the majesty of the cloud catapult is shocking enough.

Looking closely, the shock is even higher, standing below, the person who shows is particularly small.

How much manpower and material resources did the Eternal Night Warlord put into this to build these behemoths?

The degree of precision is also far beyond Akmaise's imagination.

Not to mention that before leaving, the Eternal Night Army Leader had already carried out a fixed-point blasting on it, destroying the core parts, even if it was not, it was in an intact condition, and it was estimated that it would take a while to let the Kingsley family soldiers operate it.

Because this thing is so large, both the loading and firing process is much more cumbersome than that of ordinary catapults, and it requires the joint efforts of many people.

"Send a squadron to take over here, and bring in the best craftsmen in the army to see if there is any chance of repairing them. "Akmesser still attached great importance to the Catapults and sent people to try to repair them.

Let's see if we can turn them into killer features for the Kingsley family.

Once they are mastered, it will be a deterrent not only to the Eternal Night Lord, but also to their allies, the Cummins family.

When the Kingsley family advanced on all fronts regardless of casualties, the speed was actually very fast.

After all, they will not gnaw on the cloud catapults one by one, but will rush up and gnaw on the whole line.

The most difficult thing is the early stage, and when it comes to the middle and late stages, there is a slight unfavorable situation, and the Eternal Night Army will retreat with all its members.

Because the fleet of the Cummins family, in conjunction with the fleet of the Kingsley family, began to advance from the waterway.

Catapults are powerful, but their speed is their fatal flaw.

When the numbers are piled up, they can also block the river.

When the number becomes scarce, there is some weakness, especially since the Kingsley family has completely gone crazy at this time, desperate to take Brother Port.

Because the price they paid for this siege was too great, they were already broken, and if they didn't drive the Eternal Night Army back to Andes Mountain, they would not be able to fight a war of attrition against them in the Swamp of Despair.

Buzz! Buzz!

The sound of a catapult in action.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of hundreds of kilograms of boulders crashing into the water.

Click! Click! Click!

The sound of ships being smashed to pieces.

Goo! Goo! Goo!

The sound of people drowning in the water.

Kill, kill, kill!

The roar of soldiers from all directions.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound of a black powder mine exploding.

When all the voices are intertwined in the sky above Brother Port, it is the sound of war.

"The whole army is attacking, I can't let them run away so easily. "Captain Stubin again gave the order to attack on all fronts.

"Kill!"

Eighteen large sea ships are eighteen mobile fortresses in the water, maintaining medium and high speeds, rampage through the water.

Without the threat of the catapults, the warships and merchant ships led by the Eternal Night Army fled when they heard the wind, and they did not even have the courage to fight.

This fueled the arrogance of the Third Fleet of the Cummins family, and they spit out their previous evil spirits.

From top to bottom, the Third Fleet of the Cummins family had a strong nest of evil fire in its belly.

They originally thought that with the fleet of the Cummins family, there would be no opponents at all on the Danube.

As a result, they just placed hundreds of catapults by the river, so that they were helpless and could only nest honestly.

This really damaged the reputation of their invincible armada, and now that they have a chance, they naturally have to find their way back and follow the ass of the fleet led by the Eternal Night, chasing and beating fiercely.

The retreat plan of the Eternal Night Army Commander is not incomplete.

However, there are many garrisons stationed in Brother Port, and even if they are streamlined and streamlined from the beginning, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians in total.

Thanks to the fact that Brother Port is a new city, a new city that is still in the initial stage of construction, there are only soldiers and no civilians in the city, and it can be ordered and prohibited, and the speed is relatively fast.

In this case, there is no way for the Eternal Night Commander to withdraw them all to the Andes Mountains at once.

Not to mention whether there are so many boats, the Reaper Waterway is a huge obstacle.

Therefore, the retreating vanguard of the Eternal Night Army was directly poured to the north bank of the Bashu River, across the river from the Kingsley family's army.

The rest of the retreating troops will not have a chance to unload the ship.

Under the persecution of the Cummins family, it was divided into two.

The brigade sailed up the Danube and returned directly to the Eternal Night.

A small part of the panic can only enter the Bashu River to temporarily avoid the edge.

Just as the Kingsley and Cummins families had planned at the beginning.

Once the Kingsley family takes Brother Harbor, the Cummins' Third Fleet will directly cut off the connection between the Eternal Night Warlords and the Swamp of Despair.

"Send a message to General Stubbin, his speed is too fast for our ships to keep up, and now we should fight steadily, first block the crossing of the Danube and the Bashu River, and then advance together after we have cleared the obstacles of the brother port. ”

Seeing the third fleet of the Cummins family led by Stubbin, like a warhorse off the leash, rushing wildly, Akmaiser couldn't help but feel a sudden in his heart, and immediately sent a message to Stubbin, the captain of the Cummins family.

Akmesser has gained experience in dealing with the Eternal Night Warlords, these guys have a hand everywhere, and if they are not careful, they will fall into the pit.

He had a vague feeling that the withdrawal of the Eternal Night Army from Brother Port was not so simple.

But what the problem is, it will be unpredictable for a while, and the only thing that can be done is to be careful and careful.

"General Akmaiser, this is frightened by the enemy, now is the time to take advantage of the victory to pursue, how can we stop and repair? By the time they have cleared the obstacles of Brother Port, the enemy will have already slipped back into the mountains, and it will be even more difficult to find an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on them. ”

Stubin didn't take Akmer's warnings to heart at all.

Not only because he didn't suffer from the Eternal Night Leader, but also because he had deep confidence in his Third Fleet.

On the Danube, there is no one who is their opponent without such trebuchets of towers along the river.

No matter how great the Eternal Night Commander is, can he still build another brother harbor upstream? And a group of tower catapults?

Even if they are capable of defying the sky, they really conjure up a group of tower catapults out of thin air.

At most, they saw that the situation was not right, and they just retreated.

Although this catapult is powerful, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it cannot move, and can only defend at fixed points.

With this in mind, the Third Fleet of the Cummins family clung to the retreating main fleet of the Eternal Night Army.

Not only did Stubbin want to drive the Eternal Night Leader back into Andes' mountains, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to nibble a piece of meat off their bodies.

At this time, it was shown that the difference between the two warships was coming.

The same ship sailing against the current, the same sail and manpower dual power supply system, the battleship of the Cummins family is a few points faster than the building ship of the Eternal Night Army, especially the dragon wreck battleship, the speed is absolutely speechless, it is always the arrow of the Lammins family fleet, looking at its appearance, it is completely suppressing its own speed.

Although Stubin is arrogant, he has not yet reached the point where he thinks that he can challenge the entire fleet of the Eternal Night with one dragon wreck, and the right way to cooperate with the actions of the entire fleet is to cooperate.

"The speed difference between the two sides is too great, and if it goes on like this, our building ship will have no chance to return to the Death Waterway, and we must find a way to delay their speed. ”

"Use the mines, blow them up, and see if they dare to chase them so closely. ”

"No, it's too early, if you use mines now, it will alert them, and they won't go into the urn obediently, and they must use methods that don't make them suspicious. ”

"Hell, you still have to use your brother's life to fill it, our brother has already shed a lot of blood in vain?"

"This is no way, the gap between the water strength of the two sides is too huge, and our only means of counterattack is too passive, once detected by the other party, our previous preparations will be all wasted, and we can only give up the small to protect the big now." ”

Sean waved his hand and said, "You don't have to comfort me so roundaboutly, I know what to do, order the death squads to dispatch! ”

The death squad that Sean is talking about is thirty assault ships.

It was filled with flammable materials and black powder kegs, and was operated only by a handful of soldiers of the Eternal Night.

There is only one purpose, and that is to ram the ships of the Cummins family.

This is an out-and-out, life-and-death task.

Even if he didn't die on the way to the charge, he would be blown up into the sky by a shipload of black powder.

Even if they were lucky enough to survive the explosion, the icy river would still kill them, and there was no way for the Eternal Night Army Leader to organize a rescue.

Knock! Knock!

With the earth-shattering war drums on the Rock, one after another assault clippers shouldering the mission of death, the sails were raised, and they rushed towards the fleet of the Cummins family at the fastest speed.

"What are the catapults? What are you waiting for? Attack, attack, never let them come close!"

"Ballista, all ballistas, give me an attack, never let them come close. ”

The captains and captains of the Cummins family fleet obviously thought of something.

In the previous defense of Brother Harbor, they had seen the power of the Black Powder Keg of the Eternal Night Army, and if the opponent's charging warship was filled with a shipload of that kind of thing, even if their sea ship was strong, it would not be able to carry it.

"Ballista on the left, out of range. ”

"The right ballista, which is also not in range. ”

The ballista gunners of the Cummins family battleship responded one after another.

The Cummins family's large sea ships, narrow in size, with catapults and ballistas on them, were prepared for naval battles, most of them were installed on both sides of the hull, and there were only a few symbolic planes in the bow, which could not form absolute firepower.

Their proudest means of frontal attack is a frontal ram.

I didn't see the building boat of the Eternal Night Army Leader saw them, and they ran faster than rabbits.

But where do they dare to let the Eternal Night's Charging Clippers rub against their side now?

That's pure death.

"Turn the ship across, turn the ship aside, sink them for me?" The captain of a Cummins battleship at the front made the wrong decision.

In order to increase his firepower, he turned his own battleship sideways.

In a unit of time, the attack firepower of catapults and ballistas has increased by dozens of times, but the area where it is threatened by the charging warships of the Eternal Night Army has also increased several times.

Buzz! Buzz!

Bump! Bump! Bump!

The striking effect of the Cummins family's ship-mounted trebuchet was not particularly ideal.

Even if their warship is huge, the size of the trebuchet on the ship cannot be too large, most of them are small or miniature, and the shells thrown are mainly more than ten kilograms of iron balls.

"Leave them alone, rush forward, complete our mission, give me a steady direction, sink them, for the territory, for the territory, for the people. ”

"For the lord, for the territory, for the clansmen, rush!"

The charging warships led by the Eternal Night Army have no intention of dodging attacks at all, just listen to their names, they are mainly based on speed, and now they are going down the river, which is even more of a bonus in this regard, and many attacks have been left behind.

Even if they hit, it will be difficult to sink them with one or two rounds, because their fronts are covered with several layers of thick cowhide, and the impact of shells falling on them will be reduced a lot.

The ships of the Cummins family simply did not have much time to react.

The charging ships of the Eternal Night had rushed closer, especially the one that was already half-across the Danube.

Its sudden increase in firepower sank the two assault clippers of the Eternal Night Army, but three of them also crashed into him in no particular order.

"Ignition! Detonation!" "For the lord, for the territory, for the people." ”

They have given their lives to their beloved groups and territories.

Boom! Boom!

Three huge flames rose into the air.

The three assault clippers turned into flying ash on the spot, and the flying flames directly ignited half of the unlucky Cummins family battleship.

Where they hit, three huge openings appeared, and the icy river water poured wildly.

The whole battleship was making an unnatural creaking sound, and sinking was already a certainty.

"Idiot, Saka idiot. "If this fool hadn't died, I'd have unscrewed his head with my own hands, don't stop, don't slow down, rush over, rush through." ”
