Chapter 21: The Siege

originally thought that it would not take long to leave all these pirates behind, but I didn't expect that the loss of 270 warships at a time frightened these pirates, and directly gave up approaching the Qinglong fleet, and turned around and fled to the pirate island, and the pirate leader was the same, and he was even the first to escape with a ship.

"These pirates are too insistent." Watching the pirates flee like this, Xuanyuan said in a daze.

"Pursuit." At this time, Chen Mingfeng's order was issued again.

The Blue Dragon fleet immediately increased its speed and pursued at its highest speed, and the catapults did not stop.

Although the fleet that sailed straight could only be used by the catapults in the bow, 284 catapults attacked at the same time, and there were always some pirate ships that were sunk.

It wasn't until it was more than 1,000 meters close to the island that countless boulders were thrown from the island, and the Blue Dragon Fleet turned away.

Looking at the boulders thrown down from the towering cliffs, everyone was discouraged and could only watch as the pirate ship fled into the caverns below the cliffs.

"My lord, this must have been a pirate port, but it is deep in the cave, and it is extremely safe. Even if the fleet is able to break through these boulder attacks and enter the cave, it will be destroyed by the various defenses in the cave. ”

"In that case, let's land in a different direction." Xuanyuan Che very much agreed with Chen Mingfeng's words, such a favorable location, compared to pirates, he would definitely make good use of it.

With Chen Mingfeng's order, the Blue Dragon fleet raised its sails one after another, rounding the pirate island, looking for a suitable place to land.

Xuanyuan Che, who has a big move, doesn't have to be like this at all, just one move can appear in the pirate city, just like dealing with the large cottages in Xuanyuan Valley at that time, persuade a batch to surrender every day, and after more than ten days, you can easily conquer this pirate city.

It's just that this time to conquer Pirate Island, Xuanyuan Che is not only to complete the task, but also to test the actual combat ability of the army, thinking that he can have an advantage in the big war in the future.

It didn't take long for the Blue Dragon fleet to find a gentle area to the east of the island, but before they could get closer, countless boulders and crossbow arrows fell, losing 15 warships at once.

Obviously, the pirates were well aware of the shortcomings of this place, and built a wall along the coast of the place, which was covered with catapults, and around them, they were all protected. There are also holes in the walls, which are used to fire crossbow arrows.

What's even more uncomfortable is that, judging from the range of the previous wave of attacks, these catapults and ballistas are all at the silver level, or even higher.

"Ming Feng, how is this matter? Is there any other way to get closer to the landing? Xuanyuan Che looked at Chen Mingfeng and asked.

"My lord, this pirate island can be described as impregnable, and our army is inferior to the other party in terms of ships and numbers, if it is forcibly landed, I am afraid that it will be completely annihilated." Chen Mingfeng was a little ashamed, the first time he went to war, he actually encountered this kind of hard stubble, if he returned in vain, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be valued by the lord in the future.

"Lord, why don't we change the direction again, my subordinates won't believe it, these pirates, who have only been in the rise for half a year, can build this island into a turtle shell."

"Well, you keep commanding."

Seeing that Xuanyuan Che agreed, Chen Mingfeng felt a little relieved, and hurriedly ordered the fleet to continue to set sail and continue to look for a landing site around the island. Finally, the fleet found an unattended cliff in the north.

It is said to be a cliff, but it is not high, if it is close, it is about ten meters higher than the ship, which is definitely not possible for ordinary people to go up, which is also the reason why there is no pirate defense.

But the Sea Dragon Knight is not an ordinary warrior, as a special type of troops, the Sea Dragon Knight can be described as a special class of troops in the navy, and all skills are extremely skilled, and the landing in this special area can also be completed.

Under Chen Mingfeng's order, the fleet approached the cliff horizontally, only to see that dozens of flying claws flew out of each battleship and hung on the cliff, and immediately, the soldiers on the ship climbed upwards one after another, and it didn't take long for them to reach the cliff.

Xuanyuan Che looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, but when he thought that this was the Sea Dragon Knight, he frowned a little.

"Ming Feng, as a special branch of the navy, the Sea Dragon Knight is naturally able to land smoothly in this environment, but this is the navy after all, and the real land battle is not carried out by them, if they want to escort the land landing in the future, they don't have this kind of skill. Therefore, you should think more about how to ensure the smooth landing of the army in a special environment in the future. ”

"My subordinates understand." The smile on Chen Mingfeng's face immediately retracted, and he hurriedly agreed.

After most of the Sea Dragon Knights landed, Chen Mingfeng let them return to the battleship.

After all, they are the navy, siege is not their strong point, and the previous landing was just a similar exercise.

After Xuanyuan Che went ashore, Chen Mingfeng led the fleet out of here and headed west, and he also had the task of intercepting pirates from escaping by boat.

After going ashore, Xuanyuan Che immediately released all the soldiers in the Qiankun Ring. Each was led by several generals such as Zhao Qiang, and as for the Golden Eagle Divine Guard, they followed him.

The army of millions was pulled out, and the mountains and forests behind the cliffs were suddenly saddled, and countless trees were cut down just to open a big road.

All the way out of the mountains and forests, a city appeared in front of the army, and the defenders of the city also discovered this group of uninvited guests.

"My lord, this pirate city is bigger than several of our cities." Yang Yun, who was following Xuanyuan Che, said.

"Well, our two cities are just small towns, and this pirate city, if nothing else, should be the size of the county seat."

"Lord, is there really no sneak attack this time?"

"Yes, our army must learn to face it by itself, otherwise without me, this army will be useless."

"Don't say such depressing words, the lord is a celestial man, and he must be protected by heaven."

"Okay, I'm just talking about it." Xuanyuan Che said with a smile, and then asked Zhao Qiang and others to lead the army to attack the city.

Under the leadership of a group of generals, a million troops stepped forward one after another, and only stopped until they were thousands of meters away, but they were afraid of being hit by the catapults in the city.

With the help of carpenters and some simple protection, more than 100 catapults were moved to the front of the battlefield and placed in the direction of the tower, which was one or two kilometers wide, and then began to throw boulders at the city wall.

The boulder landed on the wall of the wall, instantly smashing a crater but not destroying it, or smashing into the walkway of the wall, killing a group of pirates defending the city.

When the Xuanyuan army attacked, the pirates on the city wall also began to fight back, but on the city wall, because the area was narrow and it was not conducive to the soldiers to defend against the enemy who climbed the city, too many catapults could not be arranged.

Therefore, there were about twenty catapults near the city tower on the city wall, and the number of boulders thrown could not be compared with the Xuanyuan army.

In addition, due to the narrow aisle, the frequency of use of catapults is not high, and it can basically be said that they are pressed and beaten.

The two sides went back and forth, and two hours later, all the catapults placed on the city wall were smashed by boulders, and more than a dozen catapults of the Xuanyuan army were also smashed.

Without the attack of the pirate catapults, the catapults of the Xuanyuan army were aimed at the city gate and began to attack violently, but the pirates could only do nothing but block the city gate with huge stones to prevent the city gate from being captured.

At the same time, the pirates tried to place the catapults on the city walls again, but under the observation of the Xuanyuan army, every time the catapults were arranged, dozens of boulders would fall and smash the catapults.

After two hours, the Xuanyuan army finally stopped the attack of the catapult, not taking the initiative to put it down, but there were no more stones to throw.

Without Xuanyuan Che taking the initiative to provide logistics, the collection of stones would inevitably not be able to keep up with the consumption, so he could only stop throwing.

However, after a few hours, the effect was still some, although the blocked city gate was not smashed, but there was also a section of the city wall that was smashed against him, as long as he carried a long ladder, it was easy to enter.

In this way, Xuanyuan Che's million-strong army, under the command of several generals, rushed to the city with long ladders and headed towards the gap.

"Yun'er, do you think it's right for me to do this, it's obvious that the battle can be easily resolved, but it's so complicated that the soldiers are sent to death." Seeing that every second there were soldiers being shot by pirates on the city wall, Xuanyuan Che's face was very complicated.

"The subordinates thought that the lord's idea was very right, the lord, as the lord of one party, would be busy with official business in the future, so naturally he could no longer go out with the army as he did at this moment. If the soldiers have cultivated the power of relying on the lord in everything, once the lord goes to the front line, then our army will definitely be defeated and the whole army will be annihilated. ”

"That's why I didn't make a move, but watching the soldiers die one by one in front of my eyes, I can't help but feel sad."

"The Lord is merciful. The soldiers were willing to die for the lord, and besides, the lord could resurrect them after the war, so why should the lord be sad. ”

"That's right, just watching the soldiers fight on the battlefield, but I'm watching here, and I don't feel comfortable."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Che took out his slanting moon halberd, raised his finger at the city, and shouted: "Kill with me!" ”

Immediately, he took the lead in rushing towards the pirate city.

Yang Yun and all the Golden Eagle Divine Guards hurriedly followed, rushing to kill on the one hand, and protecting Xuanyuan Che's safety on the other.

The oblique moon halberd swung and knocked all the arrows that came into the air, and Xuanyuan Che quickly rushed to the front, relying on Yang Yun by his side, Xuanyuan Che had no scruples, and with a long ladder, he rushed directly to the collapsed city wall, and fought with the pirates who had already defended here.

Although Xuanyuan Che was only a seventh-order, with the protection of Yang Yun, a ninth-order master, there was still no danger in this pirate city.

Rushing all the way, he finally encountered a group of pirates with seventh-order strength, and Xuanyuan's experience of not moving for a long time began to improve again.

Under Xuanyuan Che's excitement, he killed even more vigorously, which made the combat effectiveness of the Golden Eagle Divine Guard who fought with Xuanyuan Che also increased linearly.

The seventh-order strength pirates had no power to resist at all in front of Xuanyuan Che and the Golden Eagle Divine Guard led by him, and it didn't take long for them to be completely defeated and open up this breach.

As the soldiers entered the pirate city one after another, Xuanyuan knew that the overall situation of this battle had been decided.

In this way, Xuanyuan Che no longer kept it, and immediately used persuasion to surrender, and actually obtained the allegiance of 100,000 pirates, and then ordered these pirates to immediately turn against the water and kill the pirates around him.

And with the rebellion of these pirates, there was chaos in the pirate city, and even many pirates killed the pirates around them who were not persuaded to surrender in order to protect themselves.

Seeing that the situation was good, Xuanyuan Che took Yang Yun and a group of Golden Eagle Divine Guards to the City Lord's Mansion to kill, and the pirates along the way, no matter what level, could not escape in front of Xuanyuan Che and them.

Fighting all the way, before finally arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, here, there were tens of thousands of seventh-order pirates guarding it, and several leaders of the pirates also appeared here.

It's just that tens of thousands of seventh-order pirates are not enough to see in front of these sixth-order Golden Eagle Divine Guards, and soon, under the leadership of Xuanyuan Che and Yang Yun, a passage to the gate was opened and several pirate leaders were encountered.

Xuanyuan Che only has seventh-order strength, and the leaders and generals here are all eighth-order, Xuanyuan Che can only hand over the arduous task of the main attack to Yang Yun, and he assists on the side.

In just half an hour, 9 pirate leaders were taken down by Yang Yun and Xuanyuan Che, 5 were killed, 4 were captured, and more than half of the surrounding seventh-order pirates were killed or injured.

According to the old tradition, after the death of the leader, Xuanyuan Che shouted the slogan of surrender and not killing, and it soon spread to the whole city.

Leaving the Golden Eagle Divine Guards here to guard, Xuanyuan Che took Yang Yun and a hundred Golden Eagle Divine Guards into the City Lord's Mansion to find the city stele.

After some searching, he finally found the stone monument of the city protected by a pavilion in the back house, and after a slash, it was finally broken.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player for capturing the Pirate City, rewarding 100,000 meritorious deeds and 100 reputation, please choose to capture or destroy, do not choose within 10 seconds, and abandon by default. ”

Xuanyuan Che naturally chose to capture it, and at the same time changed its name to Donghai City.

And with his choice, the "Exterminate the Pirates" task in the task list is also prompted to complete, and he only needs to go to the General's Mansion to accept the reward.

Xuanyuan Che was overjoyed, but this was not the time to be happy, with the Golden Eagle Divine Guard, Xuanyuan Che entered the battle state again.
