The 24-pounder cannon roared again, and the tremendous force instantly caused the light galleon warship under the gun position to shake violently, and the hot and bright muzzle flame dissipated, replaced by a thick cloud of gunsmoke. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This is a symbol of insufficient burning of black powder, the black smoke is filled, almost covering the smell of mouth and nose breathing, and the surrounding gunners subconsciously cover their mouths, and the handkerchief that has been prepared has been wet with water, so that the rich smoke cannot penetrate the wet linen and become a primitive breathing filter.

But compared to the comfort of these eight light Galie warships, the thieves of the Ketuf River, who had already surged up from the city wall and were holding war bows and crossbows, fell into a desperate situation like an abyss.

The 24-pound iron-cast solid cannonball, through the power of gunpowder expansion, slashed through the air along the preset trajectory in the air, bringing the scream and inertial force, and smashed heavily on the seemingly solid stone wall, and the solid and tough solid iron ball not only knocked the stone loose, but also the hard and brittle stone, smashed the gravel all over the sky!

These rapidly flying gravels are like small stone bullets thrown at high speed by a catapult, and the Ketufu River thieves on the city wall shrouded in these rubbles were directly smashed on the head and bleeding, and even encountered a large piece of rubble, they were directly hit in the head, dizzy and unable to distinguish the direction, and they fell directly on the city wall!

There are still a few such unlucky ghosts, and those water thieves on the city wall have bowed down, looking at their companions who fell down the city wall seven or eight meters high with panic, looking at the motionless appearance, they know that they are completely dead.

"What about ballistas? Let those damn guys on the tower fight back! ”

A water thief leader finally came back to his senses, looking at the busy figure in the smoke in the distance, his heart was even more frightened, and he gritted his teeth and roared at the surrounding water thieves: "Pick up your bows and arrows and fight back!" Counterattack! ”

It seems that someone reminded that this group of water thieves finally made a move, one by one they picked up their war bows and crossbows, gritted their teeth and began to shoot at the water area where Levi was outside, but the sparse feather arrows and crossbow arrows slashed through the air, but because of the distance, they completely lost their strength one or two hundred meters away, and fell into the water one after another.

The effective range of medieval war bows and crossbows was mostly about 150 meters, and the so-called ability to shoot more than 200 meters and more than 300 meters was just a modifier for film and television works and literary works.

Although there are people who can really shoot that far, but the concept of more than two hundred meters away, has lost its accuracy at all, and after flying so many distances, the strength of the arrow has been exhausted with the distance, even if it can hit the enemy, it will not cause much fatal wound at all, and even two layers of linen clothes cannot be worn through.

In real history, a distance of about 100 meters is the effective killing distance for archers, and even some troops use heavy bows and arrows in order to pursue complete lethality, and the tactics of shooting within 30 meters are quite popular!

At least for now, Levi's warship formation is anchored and docked in the waters more than four hundred meters away from the fortress of the island in the middle of the lake, not to mention those bows and arrows and crossbow arrows, even if the arrow tower has been assembled, and the ballista stone shells that began to be fired towards this side cannot reach them at all!

Because on the fortress of the island in the middle of the lake, on the three brick and wood arrow towers in the east city wall area, the stone projectiles fired by the three ballistas only crossed an arc and fell on the water more than 300 meters away, causing a popping wave.

All the long-range weapons on the fortress in the middle of the lake island are of no use to Levi's warship formation!

The thieves of the Ketuv River on the city wall were already frightened, even if they were still drawing their bows and shooting arrows in vain, watching the sparse rain of arrows falling into the water one by one, they still stopped their movements in disbelief, because the guns on the eight warships in the distance had been reloaded.

Almost all of the thieves of the Ketuf River on the eastern wall were in despair, their legs trembling rapidly, for they were already frightened, and even had the urge to turn around and flee.

This is simply an asymmetrical war, and even if they try everything they can, they will not be able to inflict the slightest damage on the incomparably strong enemy warships in the distance, and many of them have already recognized the origin of those warships in the distance, because they have also experienced this despair on the banks of the Yuqiao River.

It's just that the difference is that once they were the attacker, but now they are the miserable defender.

But at the same time, even on the city walls, they were experiencing the unforgettable bombardment that they had been, and even if they were on the defensive, the walls below them did not give them any sense of security at all!

So, they were afraid, especially the water thieves who had participated in the attack on Cape Town, they had completely lost the courage to continue fighting, and they all retreated to the back, looking at the frightened and uneasy appearances around them, they began to flee under the city wall, they no longer dared to continue to face Levi's artillery!

The battle on the banks of the Yuqiao River wiped out the elite fleet of the Ketufu River bandits, and it has not been two months since now, but they still remember it vividly in their minds, and they can even feel the coldness of the Yuqiao River.

They used all their strength to escape back, and now they don't want to continue to die on this wall, even if there is a water thief leader who is frantically scolding, it can't stop them from escaping, and even causing the surrounding water thieves who are already demoralized, resulting in a bigger rout.

"Damn it, you cowards, garbage-like things, stop me!"

The Marsh Baron's personal guards had already played the role of the leaders of the city walls, and they had not experienced the miserable battle of the Yuqiao River too much, so when they saw the water thieves who were fleeing, they also directly drew their scimitars and slashed at the leaders mercilessly.

Although they are the leaders, they can also be used as a warlord, and when they see someone fleeing, with their ferocious character, they can slash through with a knife, and blood and death can stop the panic of this group of guys, and they are very experienced in this!

As a few water thieves who fled in front were cut down to the ground alive, several swamp guards blocking the staircase kicked these guys who were not completely dead directly out of the city wall, and fell to the stone ground below the city wall with a snap, and they were completely miserable deaths.

This was a real threat, and their Swamp Guards were even more ferocious than Levi's, and it was only then that the pirates remembered the Swamp Baron's reputation for brutality.

One by one, they stood on the city wall in horror, trembling and holding their weapons, and subconsciously began to retreat towards the rear, and the crowd that was about to collapse finally stabilized under the more terrifying pressure, at least without the almost hysterical appearance of running away before.

The swamp guards who were still stained with blood on their scimitars were also hideous on their faces, looking at the stable water thieves, they also scolded angrily: "You damned ......"

"Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom T

But before their words fell, a roar like angry thunder completely appeared in their ears, and the group of water thieves and guards subconsciously turned their heads to look outside, but they also found that the eight warships that had been prepared also burst into blazing and bright flames.

It was the bombardment of artillery, the furious roar of eight 24-pounder light cannons, which bombarded the walls of the city with the cannonballs made of solid iron balls, completely shattering the last camel hair that was already on the verge of collapse!

Because on the city wall, where there were already more than a dozen depressions, and even stone cracks, with this bombardment, there were gaps that were originally the thickness of fingers, and they were completely unable to stop more and more depressions and cracks on the city wall.

The thieves on the city wall who still felt that their feet were shaking violently had a frightened look in their eyes, and they subconsciously just wanted to raise their feet and walk in other directions, but a more violent shaking came instantly!

"Click-la-la... Click... Click... Click, click, click... Click-la-la......-la-

Cracks began to spread wildly on the city wall, and the stone city wall, which was originally built roughly, even shared the load, was built by this group of water thieves, and there was no law and peace at all.

What's more, the stone city wall has no advantage at all under the bombardment of artillery, and as the solid but brittle stone is cracked and shattered by the solid iron ball bombardment, a large number of falling stones also form the instability of the surrounding stones, which directly leads to the collapse of a large area of the city wall.

And the chain reaction continued to spread, and the result of the collapse of the city wall led to the collapse of the entire city wall, and even the three or four hundred water thieves above had not yet escaped from the collapsed city wall, and they completely fell with the rumbling sound!

The fortress of the island in the middle of the lake, which originally seemed to be strong, was completely collapsed under the bombardment of artillery, connecting the guard tower and the arrow tower, raising up dust in the sky, and the miserable howl that was covered by the sound of collapse, as well as the three or four hundred water thieves who had completely lost their traces.
