Text: The Great Power Struggle_Chapter 184 The battle continues

"Whoosh~!"

As the boulder soared into the air, a piercing scream rang out over the battlefield. Afterwards, countless boulders flew into the blue sky.

For a while, the shrill whistling sound immediately drowned out the sound of war drums on the warship.

The warships of the Beichen Army took the lead in the attack, and their strength was not comparable to that of the United Navy. However, Li Ancheng also has the advantage of focusing on the long range of weapons, and if he shoots two rounds of stone bullets early, his chances of victory will be two points greater.

Therefore, the catapult, which had been prepared for a long time, instantly threw up a boulder and smashed it at the enemy. This was followed by a larger number of bed crossbows, three or four meters long crossbow arrows, with the power bonus of animal tendons and machinery, with a fierce power, and also rushed towards the United Navy.

It stands to reason that the rate of fire of the bed crossbow should be faster than that of the catapult, but because the bed crossbow is hung with arrows in advance, it is very harmful to the crossbow. Therefore, it was not until Li Ancheng gave the order to attack that the bed crossbow began to prepare. The catapult placed the boulder early, and launched an attack as soon as the order was reached.

Thousands of catapults are enough to throw thousands of boulders at one time, and if you throw small stones, you can still throw tens of thousands of boulders at once. This is the Navy, a completely money-throwing service.

At the same time, the sailor was able to have so many catapults, because most of the catapults that Xiao Chen built were installed on the warship. It is precisely because of this that there are only about 1,800 army units.

The sea monsters that took great effort to build did not disappoint. The first round of thousands of stone bullets smashed into the opposite warship. Eighty percent of the congested warships of the Combined Navy hit the enemy ships.

A stone bullet may not be in a big situation, but after four or five hits, which warship will resist.

At the moment when the boulder fell, more than a dozen warships in the combined naval forces leaned over. This shows that the injuries it received are not light, and it is about to sink into the ocean.

The first round of stone bullet attacks caused a lot of damage to the enemy. The countless crossbow bolts that followed also flew into the hull of the ship with a smile. If you're lucky, you'll be able to dodge it. The bad luck is that the armor is directly smashed, and a life that was alive just now will instantly turn into a pile of meat puree, or be skewered into a sugar gourd by crossbow arrows.

The first round of attacks was a good success, after which the *catapult and bed crossbow pawns were even more excited. With their high enthusiasm for their work, both the catapult and the bed crossbow increased their attack.

The second round of attacks, shortly after the first round of attacks, thousands of boulders were again streaked across the sky. This is the convenience of the long range of the weapon, Li Ancheng relied on the heavy weapon behind him, but he was very arrogant.

And the opposite Alzik is fucking depressed, after all, anyone who can't fight back after being beaten twice will be furious. However, seeing that there was only a hundred steps between his side and the Beichen army, Arzik had no choice but to order the army to speed up and close the distance with the Beichen army.

The distance of a hundred steps is very close, and the Beichen Army has only just fired the fourth round of stone bullets, and the United Navy has already entered the attack range and launched a counterattack.

After four rounds of stone bullets and the loss of dozens of warships, the non-commissioned officers of the United Navy were all angry in their hearts. So in this first counteroffensive, the United Navy non-commissioned officers were exerting all their strength.

It's just that the attack distance is so far away, they can only hope that their accuracy is better.

When the coalition navy launched a counterattack, the entire sky was obscured by stone bullets from both armies. More than 10,000 stone bullets shuttled back and forth in the air, and some even collided with each other.

The live-fire attack launched by the Beichen Army was still the same as before, knocking out more than a dozen enemy warships. However, the stone bullets fired by the United Navy made Li Ancheng feel a little distressed.

Nearly 10,000 stone bullets directly knocked out more than 30 ships of the Beichen Army's naval division in one go!

Such a huge injury, I really can't bear it. While feeling sorry for the loss on his side, Li Ancheng scolded the good luck of the United Navy in his heart. 10,000 stone bullets can knock out 30 of your own warships, in addition to being strong, the most important thing is luck. Otherwise, if you are unlucky, you will have 100,000 stone bullets, and it will be for nothing.

"Replace the oil bomb!" Li Ancheng turned around and said behind him.

A person dressed as a general immediately saluted and said, "No! ”

Subsequently, this order was communicated to all ships by the flagbearer on the flagship, using the flag language.

One by one, the huge brown-yellow mud bombs were moved out, and this was the improved version of the Beichen Kingdom's fire oil bombs. The surface of the mud bomb is wrapped with some strips of oilcloth, and the mud bomb is wrapped in a can of fire oil.

The mud bomb was placed by the Beichen Army into the catapult's shot, and then a soldier held a torch and ignited the tarpaulin on the surface of the mud bomb. After that, the catapult threw the flaming mud bomb under the command of the soldiers.

At this moment, the Beichen Army once again overwhelmed the United Navy in the sky, and one after another huge fireballs flew into the sky. Compared to the brown and white stone bullets of the United Navy, it looks much more spectacular.

The sergeants of the Combined Navy looked at the fireballs in the sky, and all of them stopped their movements, staring at the sky stupidly, forgetting their work. It was so spectacular that the United Navy sergeants couldn't understand how the Beichen Kingdom threw the flaming fireballs one after another. Are they not afraid of burning their palms?

Alzik was also taken aback by the countless fireballs in the sky, and then a sense of crisis ensued. Sure enough, the Beichen Army dared to go out of the village to face the battle, and there were still hole cards in their hands.

As a commander, Arzik is still very qualified. After a little more fluting, Arzik turned to his back and said, "Order, all ships attack with all their might." Also, get ready to put out fires! ”

"Yes, Marshal!"

The general's order was quickly delivered, and the fireball slammed into the Union Navy.

Perhaps God felt Xiao Chen's previous piety, and this time the Beichen Army's attacks almost all hit the enemy ships. The moment the mud bombs landed on the warship, they suddenly shattered. Subsequently, the cans of fire oil in the mud bombs also wet the deck of the warship bow under the huge impact.

The strip of incendiary cloth wrapped around the mud bomb also ignited the fire oil flowing on the deck very powerfully. In the space of a few seconds, the entire deck was covered in flames. All the soldiers who stayed on the deck did not dodge, and in the relentless fire, they could only moan and scream in pain.

Groups of combined naval non-commissioned officers brought out buckets of seawater that had been prepared for a long time, and bags of dirt and sand. These were prepared to prevent the enemy from carrying out fire attacks, and now they are finally being used.

But when barrels of seawater and bags of dirt and sand spilled onto the fire on the deck. The great firefighters were dumbfounded, why couldn't they put out the fire?

After watching a bucket of water splash down, the fire not only did not decrease, but rose sharply, and everyone couldn't figure it out. When the sand is thrown out, look at the sand that burns in an instant. At this time, the stupid hat can also know that this fire is not an ordinary fire.

Even cold sand can ignite instantly, can it be ordinary fire?

A soldier who looked at the burning sand with dumbfounded eyes, and the pile of sand in front of him was still out of the way. But now it had turned into a small burning fire, and the soldiers were terrified.

"It's the Greek Divine Fire!"

screamed, and immediately woke up everyone around. Many people have never seen the Greek Divine Fire, but that doesn't mean they haven't heard of it. The name of the Greek god spread throughout Europe, and almost all the old, weak, women and children knew about it. The Greek god fire is known as a demon of hell that can burn everything, and anyone who hears it will feel terrified.

Several United Navy sergeants who were splashing water were also shocked when they heard the words of their companions, and the water on their hands accidentally wet their clothes.

Before they could think much or retreat, the fire ignited and in an instant, it beaded down on the soldiers. Almost in a second or two, several soldiers suddenly turned into burning people.

After the rest of the United Navy sergeants saw this scene, they also ran in fright, trying to find a safe place. But unless they jump overboard or move to other ships, they will die in the merciless fire.

The fire had already crossed the bow deck and burned to the first mast. The sails, which are more prone to burning, do not hold on for even a second, and instantly turn into a ball of fire. Subsequently, the fire continued to burn everything that could be burned.

Standing on top of the flagship, Artsik looked at the more than forty fires that ignited in an instant in his own camp. His brows were furrowed, and he wondered why the sailors didn't put out the fire in time, and the damaged warships were all burning.

"Order the other ships to prepare for the fire!"

"Report ——!"

As soon as Arzik finished speaking, a soldier ran over with a yell.

"Marshal Qiyu! The enemy used Greek divine fire, and all the warships that were hit were all turned into fireships, and there was no way to escape! ”

"What? Greek Divine Fire? ”

Alzik looked at the soldier incredulously, not believing what he said.

The name of the Greek god fire is not something that ordinary people can understand.

If it was really a Greek divine fire, then he could only choose to retreat.

However, can you withdraw? Once they retreated, the two million troops who were on the way, or had already begun to land, would certainly be attacked by the enemy's navy. When the time comes, the army of two million will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and I am afraid that my own crime will be the greatest!

Alzik quickly adjusted his emotions and shouted, "Order! The army picks up speed and engages in a string battle with the enemy! ”

"Yes!"

After the first round of fireballs fell into the combined warship, the Beichen Army dropped another round of mud bombs.

And the combined navy also sped up and rushed towards the Beichen warship. After Li Ancheng saw this, he also ordered the army to start moving backwards.

Both men know where their strengths lie.

As long as you take the string and occupy the numerical advantage of the warships, the chance of winning is still very large!

Pick up the strings, although it is possible to win even if you don't say it, but the casualties are definitely not something you can bear!

One chased, the other retreated, and neither side stopped their movements, still constantly projecting fireballs and stone bullets. It's just that the damage done is different.

The war is not over!
