Chapter 397: The Navy Suppressed by Firepower

If it were other people, when they heard this sentence, they would definitely be subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then they would think what would this 'stop' and 'lie' mean?

But for the pirates who were charging, when they heard this, although they still hesitated, then they immediately reacted. 35xs

Then most of the pirates made the same move, which was to stop and slam to the ground.

And just as the navy who fired the shot looked in amazement at the strange actions of the pirates, the next second, they were shocked to find that a wall of earth made of dirt suddenly rose out of thin air on the ground in front of the pirates.

The 10-meter-long and 5-meter-high earthen walls protect the pirates' bodies behind them.

It can be clearly seen that in an instant, ten pits of earth were shot out from above the earthen wall, which was exactly the damage caused by the lead bullets fired by the navy after hitting the earthen wall.

It is believed that if this earthen wall had not appeared in time to withstand the lead bullet, then there would have been at least ten more casualties among Nightfeng's men.

In fact, before the battle began, when Yefeng observed the situation near the naval camp, he had already keenly noticed that the naval camp had been built here, in addition to the proximity to the river, and more importantly, the only strange thing in the vicinity was bare rocks, and there was no sign of plant growth at all.

As a result, an excellent open field was created near the naval camp.

This is of course very good news for the condescending navy, but for the besiegers, it is too bad news to be bad.

Because this means that they have to endure the enemy's fire on the city wall helplessly, until they run to the dead end of the shooting under the city wall.

So from the very beginning, Nightblanc began to think about how to minimize the pirates' losses in the process.

Then he noticed that because the enemy probably didn't expect him to defend the city, they didn't have any weapons suitable for defending the city, such as artillery, and there was not even a single cannon on the four walls.

You must know that even if the pound is smaller, the shooting distance of the one-pound cannon or two-pound gun is definitely farther than that of the arquebus, and more importantly, the shotgun can fire shotguns, which can definitely be called a group killing weapon.

As soon as the cannon went down, hundreds of iron beads were scattered in front of the city wall in an instant, and its lethality was not comparable to that of arquebuses at all!

Through careful observation, Yefeng confirmed that the enemy only had long-range weapons such as arquebuses, and as we all know, the power of lead bullets fired by arquebuses was only about the same as the kinetic energy of the Desert Eagle pistols of later generations, not at all like the sniper rifles of later generations, even if it was a half-meter-thick earthen wall, it could be penetrated with one shot!

Therefore, at the beginning of the war, he had repeatedly emphasized with his pirates that once he shouted the words "stop" and "lie down", then at that time, no matter what they were doing, they must immediately stop and immediately lie on the ground!

And the reason why he only said these two words, instead of saying, "Stop me at once, and then immediately get down to the ground." ”

Because of the effort to say this, it is likely that the pirates have already completed the operation.

I have to say that the operation of the Night Blade was still very successful, except for a few unlucky people who did not react in time and crashed into the rumbling earthen wall and knocked out a large bag, the rest of the pirates successfully hid behind the thick earthen wall, dodging the deadly lead bullets fired by the navy!

Realizing that something was wrong, the navies immediately reloaded their bullets and prepared to launch the next round of attacks, but unfortunately, the pirates were too close to the city walls.

And no matter how hard the navy plays, it will not be possible to complete the reloading operation before the pirates rush under the walls!

And at this distance, it's the pirate's turn to take effect. 35xs

Because the arquebuses of the pirates can basically be said to be obsolete products of the navy, only within 50 meters can they ensure their shooting accuracy and power!

Now, the pirates have shrunk to within 50 meters of the navy on the city walls.

In an instant, more than 20 pirates who were originally charging suddenly stopped, and then they immediately raised their guns and aimed at the navy on the city wall, and then pulled the trigger sharply!

"Bang"

More than 20 rounds of projectiles covered the past like raindrops!

Because there were no obstacles on the bare walls, the navy could only shrink their bodies as much as possible to reduce the area of the hit.

"Poof", "poof", a few blood flowers shot out on the navy's body.

Then, Nightfeng pointed at the top of the wall, and a dark blue light immediately shot out from his hand towards the wall.

At this time, the navy was curled up to dodge lead bullets, so they did not see this scene at all.

Then, the navymen who were curled up in a ball suddenly couldn't help but shiver, and they suddenly felt that the temperature of the air around them instantly changed from a hot summer to a cold winter!

When they opened their eyes, they were shocked to find that the walls were covered with a thin layer of cold ice.

But this only surprised them, but what happened next made even them feel scared.

I saw that the pirates who rushed to the bottom of the city wall did not immediately make the move to climb the city wall, but stood quietly near the city gate.

Just when the navy was secretly wondering, they suddenly felt one tremor after another while lying on the city wall, and at first they thought it was an earthquake, but soon they found that it was not.

The cause of this tremor was a terrible monster they had never seen before!

It was a terrifying creature with thick gray skin, 17 feet tall and weighing several tons, and the ground shook with every movement it took, which showed how terrifying its weight was!

Such a terrifying creature may only be able to compete with cavalry, or even cavalry can't stop its progress!

What frightened the navy even more was that this terrible creature actually carried a huge stone rod like a tree stump in its hand!

Subconsciously, a hunch suddenly appeared in the minds of the navy, that is, this terrible creature must not be allowed to approach the city walls, otherwise, something very bad will happen.

So the navy immediately raised their arquebuses and aimed them at the terrible monster.

But as soon as they raised their arquebuses, the pirates below immediately opened fire with a bang, a powerful bullet that hit the rocky walls and caused craters.

However, almost all of the bullets failed to hit the navy, and it is clear that the main purpose of the pirates was to suppress the navy with ferocious and continuous firepower, so as to buy time for the mountain trolls to move under the walls!

Obviously, the pirates' approach of not focusing on the accuracy of hits and only requiring firepower succeeded in suppressing the navy's return fire, because if the navy wanted to shoot the mountain trolls, it was essential to raise their guns and aim.

And in the process, they have to lift at least half of their bodies up, which is undoubtedly quite a dangerous move in the case of stray bullets flying at this time!

Not everyone is so nervous that they can watch a stray bullet pass a few centimeters of their face, and then shoot casually!

In fact, as the King's Guards, these navies were indeed top-notch, but again, compared to real warriors, they lacked a spirit of fighting to the death, which could not be compensated for by intensive training.

Only fighting, endless battles can cultivate the spirit of such a cold-blooded warrior.

However, for the Imperial Guards, it is possible that from the time they entered the army to the end of their retirement, they may not have experienced a few real battles.

After a few minutes, the mountain trolls finally made their way to the bottom of the city walls with a slow pace!

It was only then that Night Feng truly breathed a sigh of relief, because bringing the mountain trolls under the city walls was the real key to the success of this plan!

Because he knew about the existence of the vampire vine, he knew very well before the battle began, that it was basically impossible to capture the city wall by climbing.

Therefore, the only way is to break through the gates, enter the camp through the gates, and engage the navy in a melee, which has half the chance of victory.

And there is no doubt that the mountain troll with a stone rod that can be called a murder weapon is undoubtedly the best executor of this plan.

It is believed that under the bombardment of its stone rods, it is only a matter of time before the city gate is breached.

However, there is a prerequisite for such a thing, and that is how to get the mountain trolls to successfully move under the city walls.

You don't have to think about it to know that once the enemy discovers the mountain troll, as long as you are not a fool and see its stone stick, you will know what it does.

The mountain troll's huge size makes its movement speed correspondingly slow, and moving from the mountain to the city wall, with the remarkable appearance of the mountain troll, must have been killed by the enemy's concentrated fire before it could come down from the mountain.

And at such a long range, it is difficult for both the Night Blade and the pirates to suppress the fire of the enemy on the city wall.

In order to suppress fire, it is necessary to be within the best firing range of 50 meters.

Therefore, how to move the troops to 50 meters of the city wall with fewer casualties and how to successfully escort the mountain trolls below the city wall without attracting the attention of the enemy were the two most difficult problems in this operation!
