Chapter 262: Too aggrieved
The Beast Pirates probably never thought that they would be covered by someone in the future, so what they are experiencing now is a bit terrifying...... It's not that scary, it's just too unexpected.
If you speculate based on Kaido's own personality, you can easily predict the behavior of this pirate group...... Everyone must rush forward, after all, if anyone drags on, they will be trampled to death by Kaido himself.
Therefore, it is reasonable for them to stay on the side of the fleet on the shore, and there is a situation where the remaining forces are insufficient...... God knows how many birdmen there are on these dozen or so boats.
If you just use the analogy of "more ants bite the elephant to death", you can also know what kind of results the first wave of attacks on the side of the pirate alliance can achieve: all the ships of the Hundred Beast Pirates, including the flagship, are dying in an instant.
Either it gets into the water, or it breaks the mast, or it breaks the sail, or it ignites, or it blows up.
This "hammer" has already achieved good results in a tactical sense, and it is impossible for the other side to sail happily with these ships anyway. However, the artillery fire and gunpowder smoke are excellent stimulants for the pirates, and they will obviously not be satisfied with this "victory", and once the shelling begins, it will continue to roar incessantly until the last plank on the shore also burns and sinks to the bottom of the sea.
After all, the Combine Army is not subordinate to a pirate group, so even the so-called "commander" does not necessarily have much control over the pirates, for example, Qiubai can give the order to "open fire", but if he gives the order to "stop the shelling...... That's just self-deprecation.
The "leader" is completely different from the "king", and the crazy pirates who are immersed in their own emotions will not only ignore the orders of "reason", but will be hostile to all the elements that hinder their madness...... Even if this element is your own person.
Or that this group is scattered and irrational, but no one can demand them with the benchmark of soldiers, because it just shows that they are all pirates.
That's how pirates live.
The smoke obscured the entire fleet, and after the targets on the shore were almost destroyed, the artillery fire began to extend inland, gradually converging on a wide wall.
It is impossible to surprise Kaido's own team, because every projectile that is spewed out by each cannon is telling the enemy a word:
Here we go.
The pirates burned out the gunpowder, shot the barrels red, shot the projectiles, and ...... A section of the city wall has fallen, and even if it is a solid iron ball, there is no cliff-like defense that can withstand such a continuous impact of kinetic energy.
"What's wrong?" Ain asked at Qiubai.
At this time, his gaze crossed the collapsed city wall and fixed on the wide gate.
"I always felt that there was a swordsman who killed the dragon with a sword at this city gate, but I didn't expect that now this country has been invaded by the 'dragon' again......" Qiubai sighed slightly, but this emotion will not last, because the ship has landed.
"Everyone, according to the action I said before, especially Perona, the key to the success of the operation is up to you, if you can't find the target, my 40,000-strong formation will be in vain...... In case you fail, then your entire personal property will be confiscated, you know? ”
Perona nodded violently, if Qiu Bai spoke like this, she would naturally understand it very well, this kind of punishment was more serious to her than towing at the bottom of the boat.
Qiubai turned over and got off the boat, and stepped on the land of Wano Country with both feet, "Jinping, you are the person in charge of Princess Shirahoshi's safety, even if she is bruised and lost, it is your responsibility." ”
Naturally, the "White Star (Temporary) Garrison Protection Regiment" will not go deep into the city, and she will stop on this shore after that, and even choose to retreat directly if necessary.
Jinping's face was gloomy, if he wasn't worried that he would be electrocuted, he would want to scratch the person in front of him to death at this time, how could this become his responsibility?
However, Qiu Bai didn't see Jinping's face, or he didn't care when he saw it, after saying this, he turned his head and said to the pirates who landed:
"Ladies and gentlemen, what you have to do now is very simple, with only three words: rush, rush, rush!"
The pirates responded loudly to Qiubai's order, and in fact the group had already rushed to the city wall before he could speak...... Qiu Bai himself also followed the first echelon of the attack, and he had to play the role of leading the charge to boost his morale.
Pirates have always only fought with the wind, don't look at the current high morale is scary, as long as they hit a wall slightly, many people will definitely turn around and run.
As for Captain Bucky...... Qiubai didn't care about him anymore, and he couldn't run away at this time anyway.
Behind him came the roar of the great captain: "Whose foot is this?" What about my feet? ”
He finally discovered that he didn't know whose feet were growing under his ankles, and his feet had "disappeared" before he knew it...... This is still very different, mainly because the shoes are not the same.
Qiu Bai smiled and said that this matter really had nothing to do with him, why was Captain Bucky so careless? And the people who lost their feet, it's really weird.
Although the gates had long since been damaged by Kaido's attack, the pirates still swam through the gaps they had opened.
In Wano Country, swordsmen are also called samurai, and the first impression of the overall appearance of this place is that it is "the land of samurai".
At this time, the city is also fighting, and the two sides of the battle should be Kaido, Wano Country General VS Mitsuki clan. According to local sayings, the head of the Mitsuki clan, Mitsuki Mita, is the "daimyo" of Kuri in Wano Country, and he himself used to be a crew member of Whitebeard and Roger, and at this time he has his own power, so it is impossible to resist and has no ability to resist.
Even this clan should be quite powerful, otherwise the general would not have pulled Kaido when he made his move.
Qiubai climbed to the top of the city and looked down on the situation in the city from here. There were wars burning everywhere, but even if he didn't have to see and hear the domineering, he quickly found that target with just his naked eyes.
After all, he is unusually tall, and he is more than 10 meters tall by the very least.
After visually measuring the distance between the two sides, Qiu Bai patrolled around the city again, and soon he saw a huge siege crossbow.
The bowstring was swollen and full, and an arm-thick iron arrow was attached to it, and in front of the dark blade was a cold, glittering four-edged arrow...... To be honest, everyone who saw this thing would rather be hit by a shot than be hit by this cold weapon.
The battering crossbow was placed on a spinning pedestal, and now it was facing the sea, but unfortunately no one shot the arrow.
After Qiu Bai took a general look at the siege weapon, he found that it had not suffered any damage, so he kicked on the back of the siege crossbow's butt.
Then the tip of the glittering arrow began to turn, and little by little towards the city.
Then, without hesitation, Qiu Bai slammed his foot on the bracket that activated the weapon.
The bowstring twisted from the thick hemp rope flattened in an instant, and the friction caused by the rapid cutting of the air created a distinctive trilling and humming, and then the arrow shot towards the most obvious target in the city.
