Chapter 116. The Bloody War That Never Ends (Fourth Update)
"Quack Quack T
The Kou Tao fishmen gathered, a large number of silver-gray ugly figures, also hunched over the dock with short spears made of coral, howling in a language that only they could understand, staring at the scarlet eyes, and frantically began to attack the makeshift fortress at the low wall.

But their movements on the shore are no longer as agile and agile as they are in the sea, and they sway forward like ducks, and even the teenage children can run much faster than these Kou Tao fishmen.
And this group of Kou Tao fishmen on the shore of the dock, but they couldn't walk a few steps at all, because just behind the low wall more than ten meters away from them, in the white fog that filled with the sea breeze, the crisp sound and the bright row of muzzle flames in the darkness had already made the Kou Tao fishmen who appeared on the dock fall down together!
"Bang bang-"
The volley of flintlock guns was almost as dense as rain, and the extremely rhythmic and regular firing simply made the group of crazy Kou Tao fishmen fall to the ground one by one, and even in the dense firing, the thick white smoke of gunpowder had already filled behind the low wall, and the sea breeze could not be blown away for a while!
At this time, the first mate of Green had also come to the city wall next to him quickly, and eagerly urged the group of artillerymen to quickly find a good position for the 7-pounder gun, and complete the placement of the artillery as soon as possible, so as to bombard the dock shore in time, because the current flintlock gunners are also in urgent need of artillery support!
On the shore more than ten meters in front of him, the blood of the sticky fish-men flowed like a stream, but the piles of corpses had already piled up together, and even the group of Kou Tao fish-people who came up behind tripped over the ground after walking a few steps.
The layers of corpses were superimposed on each other, almost becoming obstacles, but Levi's faces did not have the slightest sense of relief, especially the Spanish sailors who seemed to be in the white mist, and they were holding flintlock pistols with hot barrels, and their faces were even more solemn.
Although the flintlock pistol does not require its own strength to fire, the high temperature and power generated by the explosion of gunpowder make this weapon still have the danger of exploding when the frequency of firing is higher and faster!
This is an unavoidable drawback of gunpowder weapons, which can usually be solved by reducing the frequency of firing, but now the grave situation of being dense and having to continue firing cannot be reduced by even one volley of guns.
Because the number of those Kou Tao fish people is really too much, so much that they don't dare to have the slightest sense of ease on their faces.
If the current temporary fortress is surrounded by walls more than four meters high in all four directions, perhaps the attack of these Kou Tao Fishmen is just a ridiculous procession, mocking them for their lack of siege weapons, even if they try their best, they will not be able to break through the walls made of logs and sandbags.
But the reality is cruel, the low wall that Levi originally left for convenience, facing the sea and only wrapped with sand, has now become their weak rib and the main point of attack of the Kou Tao Fishmen!
"Boom, boom, boom—"
The four 7-pounder guns on the left and right sides had been placed, and as the artillery quickly corrected the gun positions, the muzzle of the black hole hole instantly burst into a furious flame because of the ignited fire rope, and then the fist-sized solid cannonball roared and tore through the air, and smashed heavily on the dock on the shore.
The solid iron ball rotated at high speed, and the terrifying power even instantly cut off more than a dozen Kou Tao fish people standing in a straight line, and with the blood mist in the sky, it smashed heavily on the bluestone slab originally laid on the dock, and with the strong reaction force, it bounced up and continued to rampage forward!
"Dangdangdang—"
Among the more than 300 Kou Tao fishmen who were originally densely packed up, four bloody paths were cleared in an instant with the roar of artillery fire, and the blood mist flew across the sky, even making the Kou Tao fishmen who were still frantically pushing and crowding on the shore fall down like leeks.
The power of the artillery is remarkable, and now Levi even regrets why there is no other large-caliber artillery stationed here, if there is that large-caliber artillery, using dense scattered shells for covering bombardment, I am afraid that the entire open space on the shore will be swept clean like a big cleaning!
But now it is at least better than nothing, and it is impossible for the heavy bronze falcon cannon to rely on the Yuqiao River estuary to come here, because the extremely large number of Kou Tao fishmen on the outside also makes any warship that dares to go to sea fearful.
And now that the road from Cape Town to the hill by the river has not been paved, the artillery can be pushed hard by manpower, and even a 12-pound bronze falcon cannon may not be pushed in half an hour on the overgrown and gravel-strewn exhaust road.
"Bang bang-"
Another volley of guns fired, and in the smoke of gunpowder, Li Wei also squinted his eyes, and he could vaguely distinguish that on the shore not far away, a group of Kou Tao fishmen who rushed up exploded with blood all over their bodies, and fell to the ground in pieces.
The thumb-thick buckshot was already extremely penetrating and lethal under the force of the gunpowder expansion explosion, and fifty or sixty Spanish sailors used flintlock muskets to fire a volley, almost covering the bank of the pier in front of them, which was not very wide, so that the densely crowded Kou Tao fishmen, who were still slow to charge, tasted death.
"Uhhh
A melodious and calm horn sound immediately came from the sea behind him, and the whole space seemed to tremble slightly because of the horn sound, even Levi's eardrums also rattled slightly, as if someone had blown the horn in their ears.
But even in the group of Kou Tao fishmen who were still staring at the scarlet eyes, still frantically charging without fear of death, their movements were also abrupt, as if they had heard some order, they all roared and howled and rushed forward two steps, but they still stopped their movements, even if it was another volley of guns, they all began to retreat backwards, and regardless of the wounded and wailing companions, they jumped directly into the sea.
"They're back?"
Hall stretched out his hand fiercely to fan the thick smoke in front of him, and as the sea breeze blew in, the smoke caused by the fire had also been dispersed.
And he looked at the dock in front of him, which was already full of corpses and bright red blood, and his brows furrowed slightly, because the Kou Tao fishman who was still dense only left a large number of corpses, looked like he had retreated.
"They can't withstand high-intensity casualty situations."
Slowly exhaling a breath, the scimitar in Levi's hand was also subconsciously released and inserted at his feet, using it as a cane to support his somewhat tired body. And looking at the disappeared Kou Tao fishman in front of him, as well as the sound of countless waves fluttering, he also nodded and said, "It seems that they have really retreated." ”
Standing on the right side of the city wall, the first mate of Green also slowly breathed a sigh of relief, the binoculars in his hand opened and looked at the sea in the distance, the whole person could see more clearly when he stood on a high place, and after confirming that the group of Kou Tao fishmen really retreated, he also shook the torch in his hand to Levi, which also seemed to prove that the group of fishmen was really gone.
But Levi turned over and jumped over the low wall that had been blocked, stood directly on the low wall, took out the telescope on his waist behind him, and directly pulled it open to look at the slightly gloomy sea in the distance, but his brows were still tightly furrowed.
The slender warship on the sea that seemed to be condensed in this night was still parked there, and it was even much closer than before, and the distance of three or four hundred meters from the shore was not noticeable, as if it was hidden in the night and darkness.
"Elf, that's a rarity."
Gritting his teeth slightly, Levi's eyes narrowed slightly, of course he had heard rumors of the elves when he came to this world, and he didn't have much contact with these arrogant races who were said to be born nobles, because the North Whistling Sea itself was not connected to the sea area to which the elves belonged.
But now a warship that is obviously in the style of a work of art, and is obviously a delicate and luxurious warship of the elf race, and there are more than a dozen elves with long ears on it, which also makes people unable to let go of the burden in their hearts.
Especially Levi's eyes looked through the binoculars, and he had already seen several strange-looking low figures on the elven warship, tattooed with strange red lines, and holding a cane made of coral in his hand, and the fish-headed body full of scales had also explained that it was Kou Tao Fishman.
"Hurry up, get back to our ship and check it out."
Hall's order also came from behind Levy, and he quickly commanded the sailors around him to explore the Devo merchant ship and the two heavy galley warships that were still tied to the docks.
But before Hall could continue to say anything, Levi's face suddenly changed when he was standing on the low wall, looking at the several strange-shaped utensils that suddenly appeared on the warship, he suddenly had a certain bad premonition in his heart, and he couldn't help but suddenly turn his head and shout: "Get down!" ”
And almost as Levi jumped off the low wall and roared angrily, the slender elven warship in the distance suddenly made a few muffled sounds, and the "whoosh" sound caused by some high-speed rotation became louder and louder, and even with that whistle-like scream, from far to near!
"Whoosh whoosh—"
The scream slammed into the vicinity of the low wall of the makeshift camp, and even Levi had just subconsciously fallen to the ground, when some kind of sharp disc like a flywheel had already smashed over, easily cutting through a few bags of sand, and the high-speed rotation also lifted up the sky, and because of the spin, it collapsed to the side.
Even in Levi's eyes, four black sharp discs were already flying out of control, but in the process of flying sideways, several sailors who were careless in hiding were also instantly cut in half miserably by the sharp discs!
