Chapter 24: Wishful thinking

An hour later, a fleet of 500 large and small ships suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea.

The masts are like a forest, the flags are like clouds, the ships are breaking the waves, and above the first class, there is a crowd of people standing with black pressure, exuding an invisible pressure.

In the middle of a large boat, Billy Eugene stood in the wind, he was dressed in silver armor, a silver helmet on his head, a hawk nose and deep eyes, a rebellious expression, a blond hair draped over his shoulders, fluttering lightly in the wind, indescribably high-spirited.

For the trust of his father-in-law Sauron, Billy Eugene has already had his own plans, although the Sang clan only has a lonely city left, its strength is still not to be underestimated, and the trapped beasts are still fighting, not to mention the tens of thousands of Sang elites in the Ice Dragon City.

The 3rd Legion is known as the Legion of the Madmen for its ferocious and fearless fighting style, but Billy is not arrogant enough to want to go toe-to-toe with these San elites.

Billy knew how to use his troops, so before he set out, he abandoned another trebuchet, the 15th Legion, in favor of the 11th Legion.

The 11th Legion is also an exceptionally powerful Legion, and unlike the Trebuchet, this Legion is strong because of its heavy crossbow divisions.

The bed crossbow is a heavy crossbow with a range of up to 800 paces, and it takes fifty people to borrow the power of machinery to complete the winding of the bow. Each crossbow arrow has a thick arm, an arrow cast in iron, and weighs fifty catties.

The bed crossbow has an extremely slow rate of fire, but it is extremely powerful, and it has only one function, which is to siege the city.

The crossbow arrows are there, the walls are destroyed, and the city is unstoppable!

That's why the bed crossbow is also called a siege crossbow!

The Heavy Crossbow Division has 500 bed crossbows, which are known within the Union military as siege divisions.

Billy mobilized this siege division for another purpose than to siege the city.

With the help of this force, he wanted to defeat the cavalry, the proudest and sharpest of the Sang people, on the frontal battlefield.

It is conceivable that when the Ice Dragon City was broken, when tens of thousands of Sang Iron Cavalry launched a tragic charge, they were pierced through the formation by huge crossbow arrows and shattered their bodies, what an exciting thing it must be!

"What a crazy and brilliant idea!" As the heir to a blacksmith family, Billy feels that he is not only fierce and crazy in battle, but also more like a businessman at times, preferring to be budget-conscious.

It can be said that in order to save face, Sauron did his best this time. Eight legions, including the 3rd and 5th elite legions, as well as the 11th legion with siege divisions, and a full-fledged longbow legion, the 16th legion. The other four legions, although slightly less combative, were also well-trained professional soldiers.

For such a powerful combination, the end of the defeat of Ice Dragon City, which is hundreds of miles away, seems to have been doomed.

The fleet finally slowly approached the shore, one after the other, like a huge long dragon, crawling in the harbor of Angang.

Looking at the constant flags on the shore, Billy Eugene's eagle-like eyes scanned back and forth along the docks, but he didn't find Derek's shadow.

And not only Derek, but also his five thousand soldiers were nowhere to be found.

Hey? Something seems to be wrong!

And those soldiers of the West Island standing on the dock looked at their people with a strange look -

For a Federation commander, a great legional commander, shouldn't these little soldiers show an expression of admiration, admiration, and envy?

Why does everyone have a cold face?

Could it be that something happened to Derek and them?

By this time, the fleet had reached the shore, and the ships were lined up to land one by one, but Billy had a sense of foreboding.

"Someone! Beat the drums! He hurriedly told his soldiers to beat the war drums to alert the other ships.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Billy's boat suddenly sounded to the dull beat of war drums.

The ships preparing to land heard the drums of war, but nothing happened in front of them.

So, they could only wait on the boat, observing the movement on the shore and the next instructions.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual on the shore, Billy said in a deep voice to the flag bearer beside him:

"Raise the flag, let the 16th Army go ashore first and build a defensive line!"

The flag bearer responded with a sound of peace, and quickly climbed up the 15-meter-high lookout platform along the soft ladder and raised the small flag in his hand.

Bang Dang! Bang Dang!

Suddenly, all the soldiers on the ship heard an extremely familiar voice coming—

"Hell! It's actually a trebuchet! Billy couldn't help but curse.

If the enemy chooses to attack with trebuchets at this time, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for these ships that have already docked.

Billy had imagined landing countless times, but he had no idea that he would be greeted by a trebuchet.

150 small trebuchets improved by Gongshenjiang, operated by one person, with a maximum range of 500 meters and a maximum weight of 30 catties.

Fifty stones were projected in an instant, and a hundred thunderbolts were dropped!

The only hundred mines left in Sang Nan's hand, the thunderbolts that could blow up the mountain wall, were all poured into the fleet lined up on the shore.

As for the location of the ship, Qiu Ye's Destruction Battalion had speculated countless times, so the hit rate of this attack was very high, and it even reached 100%.

Ice Dragon City used up four hundred falling mines, destroying the entire 13th Legion.

What kind of effect will these 100 mines achieve? No one could have predicted!

Billy Eugene was lucky that his boat wasn't struck by a lightning strike. But at this moment of destruction, his boat also shook violently, and the flag bearer, who had just climbed the watchtower and still held a small flag in both hands, also lost his footing and fell from the sky, and fell to his death.

Billy looked around blankly—

Huge fires, earth-shattering sounds, dispersed smoke, terrible screams, and the torn hull of the ship......

It was like a bloody nightmare, constantly hitting his mind!

Fifty meters away, a huge ship burst into flames, its thick and sturdy hull had broken in half, and the soldiers on board fell into the sea with a clatter.

These soldiers are dressed in a distinctive outfit, black power suit, snow sheepskin armor, soft and tough, resistant to wear and tear, and generally the outfit of a crossbowman.

Billy Eugene's eyes widened with a look of misery.

Because that's the siege division's ship!

His biggest reliance on this attack on Ice Dragon City was annihilated in just a short moment!

As a great legional commander and heir to the blacksmith family, Billy Eugene's wishful thinking didn't start!

……

Twenty nautical miles away from the Angang Wharf, on two large merchant ships sailing in the southern part of the Missouri Bay, Luo Axiang, who was pale, cheered up and said to the man beside him who also looked very bad: "Lao Li, just throw it here!" ”

The man named Lao Li nodded, showing a bit of fierceness, and shouted at the two dozen sailor-looking people on the deck:

"Brothers, work!"

Then the sailors began to carry the bodies out of the cabin, one by one, and the bodies went to sea, where they were either swept away by the surging waters or devoured by the carnivorous fish of the sea.

Half an hour later, all the corpses on the two merchant ships were thrown into the sea!

No more, no less, a whole 5,000! (To be continued.) )
