Chapter 328. Endless roar of artillery fire!! (Above)

Although they occupy an absolute disadvantage in the number of warships at this time, these elves do not have the slightest intention of retreating, and there are war weapons such as the War Ancient Tree, even if they do not occupy an absolute advantage in the number of warships, they are not afraid.

Moreover, their task is not to defeat the opposing navy, but only to entangle the other party for a while, as long as the elven army on the shore can break through the enemy's city, then this battle, they have already won the battle.

Therefore, when the sail warships on the opposite side rushed straight over, what appeared in the hearts of all the elves was not great fear, but anger, monstrous anger.

Although their elves have fallen for various reasons, they are by no means challenged by some unknown humans, they are noble elves, and they are the darlings of nature.

These inferior guys, how dare they challenge them, how dare they!

Almost all the elves had this kind of hysterical crazy thoughts in their minds at this time.

In fact, all elves are undoubtedly extremely arrogant existences, and this elf clan has suffered unimaginable setbacks in a short period of time, so almost every elf has a monstrous anger in their hearts that is difficult to vent.

And now, these inferior guys encountered at this time have naturally become their natural targets for venting.

Just when the anger in the eyes of a famous elf spread almost like substance, some black spots seemed to appear in the sky......

************

It seems to feel the surging battle intent, the originally calm sea breeze swelled without the slightest warning, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, the white sails puffed up high, with the mast and the battleship under him slowly moving forward, and with the continuous spread of the ripples, the sail warships are sailing faster and faster, like thousands of roaring beasts, with the most crazy attitude, impacting over.

At this time, the head-on attack towards the elven battleship was with the galleon Galen as the core output point, plus a brig and a brig schooner and ten heavy galleons that acted as cannon fodder when necessary, while on both sides, two brigs and two schooners each led five heavy galleon warships and surrounded the elven battleship, not giving the other party a chance to escape at all.

Different from the naval battles carried out in this other world in the past, although they had a big killer weapon such as artillery at that time, they were always at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of warships and the number of sailors, so when facing the enemy at sea, they all relied on the crazy catharsis of artillery to solve the enemy, but the most important thing to watch out for in this tactic is that the enemy warship quickly approached, and then engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

However, the current situation of the Imperial Navy has completely changed.

Whether it is the catharsis of absolute fire with artillery, or the ramming and hand-to-hand combat of frontal sails, they will never back down.

Any enemy who fights them is undoubtedly putting his life in the hands of death.

At the same time that a gunner was ready, an Imperial Navy soldier had also raised the black pressure flintlock pistol in his hand, if the elven battleship on the opposite side really broke through the endless roar of the artillery, then the surging salvo would hit those unknown elves in the first place.

And with the final attack order given, the black pressed bronze cannon barrels were like beasts bound in a cage, and they were finally freed at this time.

And when the restrictions of the rules were lost and the control of the power was lost, the beasts launched a terrifying attack like a galloping horse in front of them with the wildest and bloodthirsty hideous attitude at the first time.

"Boom Boom T

The rapid and deafening roar was like a thousand thunderbolts, and it was like the wrath of all the gods in heaven.

At this moment, the light released by the original sun was dimmed, and the surging light formed by the convergence of iron balls seemed to be the real protagonist of this heaven and earth.

Although due to the problem of distance and shooting accuracy, many black iron balls fell into the sea, and then set off one after another surging waves on the sea surface, but there were still many iron balls along the predetermined trajectory, accurately falling towards the elven battleship.

The 6-pounder guns and 12-pounder guns bombarded one after another, and the surging firepower that poured out in an instant was like a fierce fire dragon that was constantly rolling on the sea, roaring towards the elven warships.

The first to fire were the brigs and five heavy galleons on either side, and although the number of guns on board these sailboats was far inferior to that of the large army of battleships in front, the firepower that poured out in an instant was still enough to deal the most deadly blow to the enemy.

But what happened next really surprised all the Imperial soldiers.

Just when the black shells were about to fall on those elven battleships, the two ancient war trees suddenly "stepped" and moved, and then one left and one right, stopped in front of the elven battleship, and then, all the shells were stopped.

However, no matter how strong these two ancient war trees were, they still couldn't stop the surging impact force. The high-speed rotating solid iron balls can easily penetrate even steel, not to mention these ancient trees, in the blink of an eye, the two ancient war trees have been riddled with holes, but after the obstruction of these two ancient war trees, the power of the iron balls has also been almost consumed, and then like birds with broken wings, they all fell into the sea.

However, in just a few breaths, as the green light rose, invisible magic ripples surged wildly, and then the voids that had been pierced through the two ancient war trees returned to their original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This ......"

The Imperial Navy soldiers were staring at the incredible scene in front of them with wide eyes at this time, and the shock in their hearts was really incomprehensible.

After coming to this other world, the Imperial Soldiers, whether it is a magician who can release fireballs and ice picks, or, but this scene in front of him is really a little ......

"Oh?"

Different from the almost stunned expressions of his soldiers, Jiman suddenly raised his eyebrows, and in addition to surprise, there was more of a playful look in his eyes.

"Well, it's not too boring."

"However, I want to see how long these ancient war trees can last?"

"Order all the battleships, shoot together!"

The corners of Jiman's mouth curled slightly, and then he said with pride.

The firepower just released was far from the limit of this fleet, and no matter how powerful these ancient trees of war were, Jiman did not believe that the other side could withstand the roar of hundreds of guns.

With Jiman's order, the solid black shells were filled into the bronze barrels, and after the initial darkness, the blazing light rose.

The wind was howling, the cannonballs were roaring, and with it, or rather filling the sea, was a terrible wail and a low moan.

"Boom Boom T

The fiery red light was like a new sun, and the dazzling brilliance obscured everything.

***********

Just when the collision on the sea entered the climax of the surging surge, the war on the drifting island had just begun.

The bright sky was obscured by the dark clouds at some point, and the salty and humid air that originally carried the smell of the sea breeze was completely soaked in the thick blood, and then, the rapid and rhythmic sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.

"Dada-da-"

High Priest Phil, who had been paying attention to the changes in the situation in the field behind the elven army, couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he heard this sudden rising sound.

From the back of the makeshift fortress, thousands of French cavalrymen dressed in black and exquisite cavalry uniforms suddenly emerged.

Thousands of war horses violently beat the big drum on the earth, and the transmission of the slight vibration and undulation made her heart tighten.

As the figure of the cavalry led by the leader accelerated suddenly, thousands of war horses also galloped in unison, driving the dust on the ground to fly all over the sky.

Although this world is in the era of Drifting Islands wrapped in the Endless Sea, the importance of the navy goes without saying.

However, the main role of the navy is to contain and trap the enemy, and in addition, it plays a decisive role in the acquisition of resource islands.

However, if you want to completely defeat the opponent and plunder the resources and population of the island, you still need the army to land on the Drifting Island to fight.

Therefore, in this era similar to the medieval era, the cavalry, an efficient and highly mobile type of troops, has always been a class of troops that all human kingdoms attach great importance to, and as the common enemy of the human race in the Western Sea, the elves have not been persecuted once or twice in the face of a large number of cavalry.

Unlike most of the elves in the tribe, who are dismissive of preparing to exterminate human forces, Phil has always been extremely cautious.

Therefore, when a large number of cavalry appeared, he immediately ordered to stop the further advance.

It's just that what the elven high priest Phil didn't expect was that it was not the thousands of cavalry who took the lead in launching a fierce attack like a storm......

***********

Kit didn't expect that these elves would directly land on Drifting Island with the help of the War Ancient Tree.

But it doesn't matter, with the more than 500 elves in front of him, even if he adds those three ancient war trees, it is impossible to make any waves.

However, after the arrival of the follow-up army, he did not have the slightest intention of sending troops to meet the battle, this time, he wanted to use the most violent offensive to make these unknown elves in front of him fall into the deepest despair.

"All gunners, prepare - shoot !!"

With Kit's order, long iron tongs leaned against the thick linen rope that had already been soaked in grease, and with a "snort" sound, a small but bright light also rose.

The black smoke mixed with the foul smell spread out quickly with the burning flames.

The coarse linen rope that had been soaked in grease in advance brought out a cloud of dust as the bright light continued to swallow up.

"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-"

……

The blazing roar came one after another, and the huge roar, like thunder, like the sky collapsing, and the originally gloomy sky seemed to be torn apart by the blazing light at this moment......

The whole world seemed to stand still at this moment, but in the next second, it was ......

Exploded!

The moment the iron ball fell, the flames and waves of air erupted suddenly, like an earthquake, and the whole earth began to shake wildly, as if it was trembling or something......

Almost in the blink of an eye, flames erupted from the ground, incinerating everything around them with combustibles.

Fireballs rose into the air, as bright as the sun, billowing black smoke mixed with the dust that had been kicked up and rushed to the ground for dozens of feet.

The black smoke and dust were connected to each other, and finally seemed to turn into an endless black city wall, like a dead prison, trapping all the heavily armored soldiers without moving, and could only end their bleak fate in despair and madness.

After several rounds of artillery fire, the whole land was already raging, and there were large and small potholes dotted among them.

Black, gray smoke and dust stirred through the air, and the smell of blood and oozing filled the entire battlefield.

**********

In Paris, although the imminent war has not yet begun, the thick gates have long been closed, and the inhabitants of Paris have long been accustomed to this.

Although there was an incomparably murderous atmosphere outside the city, everything was normal inside the city.

The slaves who were supposed to go out to cut wood, cut stones, fish, and grow food were all escorted within the city walls at this time.

The inhabitants of the empire in the city were not worried about the resurgence of the iron-blooded collision, they were the invincible French Empire, no matter what kind of enemy, under the blessing of God, under the glory of His Majesty the King, and under the fearless charge of the brave warriors of France, they could only retreat in the end.

At this time, in the Bourbon Palace, in addition to some officials in charge of the operation of the city, the Minister of War Kit and the Minister of the Navy Giman were all present on the battlefield at this time, and only Chopin and Twill remained in the conference room at this time.

"What, a little worried?"

Seeing Twill pacing back and forth in the room, Chopin also asked with a smile.

"It's a little, I told myself not to worry, but I still can't help it."

Being joked about by Chopin like this, Twill also seemed a little cramped.

With the combat power of the Drifting Island at this time, dealing with only a dozen warships and one or two thousand elves is simply a matter of being captured, where there will be any accidents.

"Twill, don't worry about it, the future is theirs after all."

"Yes, the future, it's theirs."

Twill repeated it with great emotion, and in his tone, in addition to a strong sense of relief, there was also a faint sense of depression.

Time, after all, can't go back......
