Because only after dark, the navy's view will be obstructed, and fighting in the dark will make more use of melee. Flash Dance

After all, free-spirited pirates are already better at hand-to-hand combat, so there is no doubt that the odds of defeating the navy in the dark of night are undoubtedly higher!

It's a pity that Ye Feng's original plan was ruthlessly shattered, because the navy that successfully escaped back would definitely report the whereabouts of Ye Feng and his party, so that the navy would definitely be prepared, which would undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of attacking the city.

Speaking of which, Night Edge was really angry about this, you know, he already had little illusions about the combat effectiveness of the pirates, so he didn't carry any pirates, but added them all to the other teams.

However, Huskar's team only selected a dozen pirates, so it can be said that the remaining pirates are all concentrated in the other two pirate teams.

This also means that the other two pirate teams, each of which has at least thirty pirates, but even so, with such an advantage of thirty to three, the final defeat will be ten times more pirates.

At the cost of one dead and two serious wounds, the navy managed to defeat as many as thirty pirates.

Although these navies are known as the elite of the Royal Foresters, from another aspect, it can also be seen how scummy the pirates' combat effectiveness in head-to-head battles is.

From this, it can be seen that the reason why the number of keys that Nightfeng has killed so many pirates before is so scarce, and the reason is no longer known!

But now it's no longer time to vent your anger on the two defeated pirate teams, but to attack before the enemy has fully reacted!

Undoubtedly, every second of delay now means that the enemy is a little more prepared.

After picking and choosing, the two pirate groups totaled more than 60 pirates, excluding the dead and seriously injured pirates who were no longer able to walk, and finally selected nearly half of the pirates. 35xs

It is worth mentioning that the team led by Huska actually only lost two pirates, most of the combat effectiveness was still preserved, and more importantly, they also successfully brought back all the corpses of the navy!

It can be seen that a truly powerful team, in addition to a large number of cannon fodder with low combat effectiveness, top elites with strong combat effectiveness are also indispensable.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the low-level pirates, armed with a large amount of weapons and equipment, to finally stagger to the foot of the mountain.

Because there is no longer a problem of not revealing the target, after all, no one knows if the escaped navy has returned to the camp at this time to report the news of the night striker.

On the contrary, the race against time is now the pirate's primary objective.

With the help of all the pirates, more than a dozen guns were successfully pushed to the top of the mountain, and then the pirate gunners, who were good at shooting, immediately estimated the location of the shelling by visual inspection and other means, so as to adjust the position!

As soon as the gunners had adjusted the direction of their guns based on their experience, Nightfront motioned for them to load with coconut shells infused with whale oil.

After the coconut cannonball was loaded, he took a sharp breath in his mood and waved his arm violently.

With Ye Feng's arm swinging down vigorously, a roaring thunder suddenly sounded on the top of the mountain!

It's a twelve-pounder cannon snorting its rage!

After a few seconds of thunderous cannon fire, the towering mage tower of the naval camp suddenly cracked, starting from the highest point at the top of the tower, and the rocks and earth blocks of different sizes were projectile in all directions under the tremendous force!

Then the underside of the Mage Tower began to crumble gradually.

There was no doubt that the only thing that could have done such damage was the only twelve-pound heavy gun they currently had.

Only it is capable of wreaking such powerful damage to solid rock walls!

Like the other three-pounder guns, even if they managed to hit the rock wall, the most they could do was shake the wall, or at most it would be a crater.

At this time, Ye Feng was also stunned to see everything that happened in front of him, in fact, for such a result, he did not expect it at all in advance, because according to the hit rate of artillery in this era, if you want to successfully hit a building in the camp, without pre-firing, the chance of a successful hit is simply equivalent to a huge gap between the A cup and the E cup!

It's like when we buy lottery tickets, although before buying, we know very well that the jackpot or something must have nothing to do with themselves, which is also the result of 99% of lottery players, but why do we know this fact, but still buy it as always?

It's because everyone has a fluke mentality in their hearts, after all, no matter how little hope is, there will always be a chance in everything!

What if you just happen to win!

No one knows about this kind of thing.

Similar to this, in fact, before the cannon was fired, Ye Feng didn't expect that he would be able to hit the first shot at all, but just like the psychology of buying a lottery ticket, he only had a just in case in mind, so he didn't let the twelve-pound heavy cannon be loaded with coconut shells full of whale oil!

Instead, it was loaded with solid shells with a very low hit rate!

However, what he never expected was that the solid bullet with a very low hit rate actually successfully hit the naval camp with the first shot, and it was also a mage tower that could greatly increase the power of the mage's skills!

This is really shit luck.

Therefore, even Night Blade was really stunned for a while, until the gunners asked him if he continued to shoot, and he finally reacted.

"Shooting, of course, continue shooting, all the artillery, adjust to the direction of the heavy artillery just firing, to fire all the homemade coconut shells as quickly as possible."

"After firing, don't stop, immediately reload the solid shells and continue firing until our men have approached the enemy's camp."

"Remember, now I don't want the loss of weapons and equipment, even if the chamber is overheated, I will continue to shoot until the barrel is completely damaged and can no longer be used, this time I want not a loss, but a victory, a complete victory!"

As soon as Nightfront finished speaking, the gunners cleaned the chamber of the gunpowder residue and reloaded the shells.

While the gunners continued to shoot, Nightfront began to lead Huska and the other pirates towards the naval camp at the foot of the mountain.

Because of the damage to the mage tower, the leader of the navy, the archmage of the court, was not able to issue an order for the first time, which made the camp of the navy a little chaotic for a while.

However, Ye Feng was very clear in his heart, that is, although the navy was a little chaotic at this time due to the sudden attack and the commander's failure to come out to preside over the overall situation at the first time, these navies were the elite of the elite after all.

It won't be long before they will surely react and concentrate on defending the walls with a condescending advantage.

Therefore, they had to take advantage of this short time to immediately move to the city gate and break through the city gate.

By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, nearly six or seven minutes had passed, and during that time, the pirate gunners had been firing shells at the naval camp continuously.

At this time, I had to admit that Ye Feng's first shot just now was indeed quite lucky, because although the gunner who operated the twelve-pounder cannon still fired according to the previous shot, the cannonball fired did not hit the mage tower again, but only exploded in the open space nearly ten meters away from the mage tower.

When the twelve-pound solid cannonball hit the ground, it instantly smashed a huge crater out of the solid ground, and the cannonball continued to ricochet in the other direction.

Coincidentally, a navy passed by in the direction of the projectile, although the navy had already subconsciously raised the steel shield in his hand in front of him.

But in the next second, together with the round shield, the whole person of this navy instantly turned into a pool of blood-colored muddy water and floated in the air.

So powerful!

It's not a loss that Ye Feng wasted three skeleton horses and had to work hard to carry this heavy twelve-pounder cannon!

However, although the twelve-pounder cannon mistakenly killed a Navy officer in the passenger car, that didn't erase its low hit rate.

The same shooting angle, but the difference between the two hit positions was nearly ten meters.

It can be seen that the first shot of the Night Blade was indeed due to luck, otherwise, with the hit rate shown now, it would be impossible to hit the Mage Tower!

Fortunately, although the 12-pounder cannon had a low hit rate, the coconut shells fired by the other 10 3-pounder guns all successfully hit the naval camp.

But it's normal to think about it, after all, no matter how low the hit rate of the artillery is, what they are aiming at now is a naval camp covering an area of nearly hundreds of square meters, and it is really difficult to miss such a large target!

In a few moments, the entire naval camp was almost covered with a layer of slimy liquid.

As the elite of the regular army, these British royal guards were of course quite familiar with the smell of whale oil, so they quickly thought of the terrible situation that was about to befall them.

Therefore, before Yefeng and the others really began to carry out the fire attack plan, the entire naval camp had already exploded, and several officer-like navy officers immediately ordered their subordinates to immediately dismantle the barracks built of cowhides, and immediately prepare a large amount of ground water sources!
