Chapter 117: Attack
"Soldiers, the Kasians are planning to gamble and fight to the death with us, this battle is very important, winning or losing will directly affect the entire situation in our Bianxi, everyone says, what should we do!"
Murong Ziyan came to the chicken soup before the war as usual, and Yun Ye was not there, she could still beat these Kasians to the ground!
"Drive them down the river and go swimming!"
One soldier was the first to shout, followed by all the soldiers shouting, and the overwhelming sound once again hit the minds of the advancing Kasians, making them more and more uneasy.
"Well, let's get these landlubbers out of the water and go swimming!"
Murong Ziyan said and pulled out the battle knife, lined up with the cold thorn, and stood at the front of the team, Yun Ye was not there, let him play the role of Yun Ye for the time being!
The catapults slowly rose in height, the ballistae were already loaded with crossbow arrows, and the sergeants rubbed their armor with their armor, and their shields were connected to shields, forming a steel defense line, like a black dragon lying on the edge of the Longjiang River.
This battle completely frightened these Cassians, so that they didn't dare to cross the river again!
The plot is always similar, the people of Kasia know that there are chains in the river to block the big boats, and they also know that the Western army is coming again and adding a few more big chains, so they also do some measures.
Their response was to use air warships to attract the firepower of the Western army's catapults and consume their resources.
The large ship, which was originally capable of carrying more than 100 to 200 people, now carried only more than 20 soldiers, and these soldiers were all necessary to control the advance of the warship. But the Kasians didn't learn how to put some scarecrows in the ship, which would only make the ship burn faster, and they still had this common sense.
However, the Western army on the shore did not know how many soldiers were in the big ship of Kasia, and when they saw the big ship approaching, the catapult threw the burning fireball out, turning its target into a pile of ashes.
During this time, the Kasians reflected on the reasons for their defeat in the last battle, and when they returned, they stepped up the construction of small boats. In the middle of the big river, there are chains, big boats can't cross, but small boats are better to log in, as long as the number is enough, the same can have the effect of big boats.
Now there is a small boat towed behind each large ship, which is used to log in when the large ship reaches the front of the chain and gets stuck. Now the role of those big ships is to drive in front of the big chains, and then use them as targets for the Western Army, attracting their fireball bombardment.
I hope those empty ships can attract more fireballs, so that more of our children can land alive, even if they die on the shore, it is better than dying in the belly of a fish in this great river.
"Catapult, attack!"
When the Kasians' warships entered the catapult's attack area, Murong Ziyan was not in a hurry to order the bombardment, she knew that they would definitely not be able to pass those chains, so when they were all concentrated in front of the chains, the bombardment would be more effective at that time, and it would save fireballs even more.
Now that the great ships of the Kasians have rushed in front of the great chains, the catapults of the Western army have begun to shoot fireballs, making the sky bloom again with a gorgeous light.
Fireballs were thrown from the shore one by one, and after a perfect arc, they smashed into Kasia's warship, causing smoke to billowing from the warship, and sending them to the bottom of the river, bringing some new playthings to the fish.
Again, as before, the Kasians' ship was stopped outside the large chains, and then baptized by the fireballs thrown by the Western army's catapults, but this was only some foreplay, and the main play was just beginning.
Countless small boats weaved through the gaps of the big ships, rushing towards the shore. With the big ships in the way, blocking most of the fireballs, the Kasians' boats could safely navigate through the gaps between the big ships, at least in this part of the chain.
And this time the Kasians built a lot of more small boats, a charge, more than doubled than before, thousands of small boats divided into several batches, batch after batch, uninterrupted towards the shore, as long as they landed, let them set foot on land, they had to find a way to make the western army pay as much price as possible, even at the cost of their own lives, but also let the comrades behind continue to rush up, to be able to set foot on land.
"It seems that this time the people of Kasia have learned well, knowing that the big boat can't be driven, so they actually abandon the big boat, use them as bait, and then use the small boat to impact, and it is also a pity that the weather is good now, otherwise, the waves of the Longjiang River are estimated to be able to overturn many small boats."
One of the soldiers poked his head out and looked at the speeding boat, and made a joke, but he wasn't nervous right now, even though he was only a recruit, he felt that they would be able to drive the Kasians down the river to feed the fish.
"Ballista ready, still using projectiles, concentrating on the range of strikes, to make the Kasias pay for their hubris and stupidity!"
Kasia's boat had already entered the range of the Western Army's ballista, and Murong Ziyan ordered the ballista to attack. The people of Cassia are all prostrate and hiding in the hole of the boat, and at a glance, you can only see a small boat and an occasional helmet that shows out, and you can barely see people, so if you use flat shooting, you are basically wasting crossbow arrows, but if you use projectile shooting, the crossbow arrows are like rain, falling from the sky, as long as you are in that area, you will definitely not be able to dodge.
The ballista kept running, countless crossbow arrows shot out of the ballista, and the crossbow arrows that covered the sky and the sun made the Kasias have no courage to look up at all, or it was useless to look up, even if they died, they would die ugly, it was better to keep their heads down and not look at them, at least they would not break their appearance when they died.
Although it had long been expected that the Western army's ballistae would carry out a large-scale attack on Kasia's boat, as long as they could withstand that attack distance, or until the Western army's crossbow arrows were exhausted, they would be able to land.
But when he saw the crossbow arrows that covered the sky and the sun, even Kasia's general couldn't help but gasp. Although a round of arrow rain cannot cover a large area, but the area covered by a round of arrow rain, it is estimated that there are not a few living people left, and each small boat is shot into a sieve, or even shot through, and then let the river water pour in, and finally sink to the bottom of the river, buried in the belly of the fish.
"Brothers, rush, if you don't want to die in the water, speed up and rush ashore, as long as we can go ashore, we have a chance to win this victory!"
A low-ranking officer of Kasia stood up and shouted loudly before the new round of arrow rain arrived, hoping to motivate his soldiers and boost their morale.
But just as she had finished the last word, countless crossbow arrows pierced the shield behind him, turning him into a hedgehog and sending him into the river.
The river water, which had just been clear, turned back into that pale red color after several rounds of projectiles from the Western army's ballistas, which made people look particularly comfortable and gorgeous.
