Chapter 23: The Battle of Crescent Island (5)

After a while, the intersections of the four main roads were filled with the corpses of the Gothic cavalry, and then the soldiers in the rear realized that something was wrong, stopped their charge, and instead sent a few scouts to the front to reconnoiter the situation.

After those scouts reported the situation ahead to Xiang Tian, a roar suddenly rose to the sky: "Damn it! It's actually a scissor array, and what Lao Tzu hates the most is these technical flow players! ā€

"Bring in a team of archers and climb to the roof!" After thinking for a while, Xiang Tian commanded his subordinates.

Attacking the scissors from the front is looking for death, and the fate of the hundreds of Gothic cavalry who have just rushed to the front is the best proof of this. Therefore, Xiang Tian prepared to let the archers climb onto the roof and outflank the attacking spearmen from both sides.

It had to be said that this was also a good idea, but when one of the archers climbed to the roof of the house as he commanded, he immediately let out a scream and fell from it with a pop.

"My lord, that roof is full of spikes!" After being thrown half to death, the archer still did not forget to report his findings to Xiang Tian.

After hearing this, Xiang Tian almost fainted, and at the same time, he sighed in his heart, these technical flow players are really cunning to the extreme, and they can't find a loophole from the other party.

"His grandmother's, demolish the house! Demolish the houses on both sides of this street, and I'll see how they defend them! Angry, Xiang Tian actually gave an order to demolish the house.

Those soldiers who killed the country looked at the long row of houses in front of them, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, thinking that this was too much work. But who told them that this was an order from their god of war! So although it was difficult, these soldiers who killed the country could only summon sledgehammers and began to demolish the houses on both sides of the street little by little.

"My lord, those people who killed the country seem to be demolishing our house?" Listening to the roar coming from outside, Ohama reminded Shi Jinshui a little worriedly.

"Alas! There is no way, there are many of them, and it is impossible for us to beat each other when we go out, so we can only let them dismantle them, but in a few hours, they can't finish dismantling, and at that time Hannibal and they should also rush back. After Shi Jinshui sighed helplessly, he looked at the sky, it was only seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and the order he gave to Hannibal was to rush back before dark, and he hoped now that the two goods would not really rush back before dark, in that case he would be miserable.

After an extremely difficult wait, Shi Jinshui still did not wait for Hannibal and them, and at this time it was close to noon, and the two rows of houses located on the front street had been almost demolished by those soldiers who killed the country.

"Rowan, tell the big guy to get ready, and then we're going to fight those country-killers!" Shi Jinshui said as he straightened his armor, and then pulled out the war knife at his waist.

"Damn! Shi Shuiqiu, don't you usually have a lot of bad moves? This time, I'm ready to fight each other so quickly! After hearing Shi Jinshui's words, Luo Wen asked in surprise.

"Alas! There's no way, the other party is also a player like me, and it's impossible to get him with a general yin trick, so it can only be a hard bar! Shi Jinshui said as he spoke, suddenly turned his head and joked with the other party with a smile: "Why, you won't have too many battles with me, so you won't dare to fight with people, right?" ā€

"Haha! Joke! What I'm Rowan is best at is a hard bar, so let those scumbags who kill the country come over! Today, Grandpa Luo is going to let them see how powerful I am! As Rowan spoke, he pulled out the two-handed greatsword on his back, which was specially made for him.

Thundered! After a loud bang, the last wall blocking between the two sides was also smashed by the killing soldiers, and before the smoke and dust cleared, the crossbowmen on Shi Jinshui's side took the opportunity to shoot a rain of arrows at the opposite side.

Caught off guard, the soldiers who were responsible for demolishing the house suddenly suffered a dark loss, and were shot down by this rain of arrows.

"Kill!" After a loud roar, Shi Jinshui was the first to rush out with a war knife in hand, and behind him, the soldiers, slaves, and refugees from various factions who were dressed in different costumes also followed closely after shouting in unison.

On the other side, the soldiers who killed the country finally reacted and prepared for battle.

Before the soldiers of the two sides could really engage in hand-to-hand combat, a large wave of javelins and throwing axes staggered over the two armies, setting off a rain of blood. But this was just an appetizer, and as the soldiers in the front rows of both sides collided fiercely, the real killing feast began.

Among them, a tall guy like Rowan swept away with a big sword and killed at least three enemies at the moment he just saw him. But the most exaggerated thing is the Germanic barbarian king of several days, this guy wields that oversized mace, it is like opening a peerless, there is no enemy on the battlefield at all, as long as he is swept by his mace, he will be crippled if he does not die. As its mace flew up and down, enemy soldiers could be seen flying into the air from time to time, and then falling hard.

This guy's momentum on the battlefield is so big, how can Shi Jinshui not see it, he has always bullied the weak and feared the hard, so he avoided the other party from a distance, carrying his own shield and combat knife, and specifically looking for the opponent's small soldiers. Although he was not superior to those soldiers who killed the country in terms of combat experience or strength, but with his luxurious equipment, he still quickly harvested the lives of more than a dozen soldiers who killed the country in a short period of time.

However, Shi Jinshui has a luxurious equipment by his side, and other people do not have this advantage, especially those refugees, they are not only poorly equipped, but also lack effective training, all of them are a group of scum with only five combat effectiveness, when they were on the city wall before, they could also rely on crossbow arrows to shoot a few country-killing soldiers, but now once they fight face-to-face in hand-to-hand combat, they may not be able to kill a country-killing soldier if they hang up ten. In addition, there are those slaves under Shi Jinshui, in addition to being better equipped, they also have almost zero combat experience, and their combat effectiveness is not much stronger than those refugees. The only people present who could fight with those soldiers who killed the country were the 1,000 veterans under Shi Jinshui who had been following him in the Eastern Expedition and the more than 1,000 remnants of the leaders of those factions, but these people added up to only about 2,000 people.

After the sharp-eyed Shi Jinshui found this, he couldn't help but be secretly anxious, according to the current development of the situation, I am afraid that it will not take an hour for them to be wiped out by the soldiers of the killing country, but Hannibal and his party, who were regarded as his followers, never appeared.

In order to delay time as much as possible, Shi Jinshui gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Everyone retreats to the city and fights with each other in the streets!" After saying this, he pulled Luo Wen, his personal bodyguard next to him, and took the lead to drill into an alley not far away.

After the other people heard Shi Jinshui's words, they also reacted, turned their heads and drilled into the alley. However, in this way, those guys who ran slower were unlucky, and the soldiers of the slain country chased after them, and it was a burst of mass killing.

In the end, Shi Jinshui and the others finally dispersed and retreated to various alleys after paying the price of more than 1,000 casualties. After such a dispersion, it is not so easy for the country-killing soldiers to quickly eliminate them, especially for Shi Jinshui, who is familiar with the terrain in the city, they can take advantage of the location a little, and from time to time they can launch a round of counter-offensive and kill a small wave of country-killing soldiers who are chasing them.

At the same time, on the sea only a few nautical miles from Crescent Island, Habak was leading his fleet to rush towards Crescent Island at full speed. Unlike when he went, at this time, his battleships were already loaded with more than a dozen airships made by craftsmen.

Because of the current situation, as early as half a month ago, Shi Jinshui ordered them to secretly rush to make the airship, and the others were originally according to his plan, not ready to mass-produce the airship so soon, after all, the first airship prototype has not been produced for a long time, the tests have not been completed, and I don't know if the airship as a prototype has any defects. As a flying machine, as long as there is the slightest thing wrong with this thing, it may cause casualties! They are not cautious by not entering the water. But in order to deal with this crisis, he also had to take risks.

"Huh? Habak, you see, the port seems to have been taken by the killers, so we can't be too late, right? After looking ahead for a moment, Hannibal pointed to the harbor of Crescent Island and said to Habak.

"No, it won't! The last time we rushed back to Carthage to help, we were a little late, so is it late this time? After listening to Hannibal's words, Habak couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

When the two of them were worried about Shi Jinshui on the island, Iron Bear, who led the fleet to patrol nearby, also discovered this enemy fleet that had not appeared since the start of the war.

"Humph! The God of War guessed right! These Carthaginians really want to use this navy as a backhand, and launch a surprise attack when we are not looking. But now that you've been hit by me, don't even think about running away! After sneering, Iron Bear led his fleet and met the enemy fleet head-on.
