Chapter 554: Spectating the Battle? What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
"Whoosh," and the three crossbow arrows that were fired together blocked three directions and shot towards the Eagle Knight.
The Eagle Knight, dressed in heavy armor, confidently swung his long sword, knocked down a crossbow arrow, raised his shield, and knocked another crossbow arrow, and the third crossbow arrow stabbed at the war eagle in a tricky way.
The high-speed spinning bolt pierced the eagle's throat and stabbed the eagle knight in the chest by inertia. The powerful impact dented the iron armor on the Eagle Knight's chest, and the Eagle Knight felt a tightness in his chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, and the Eagle carried the Eagle Knight down.
The Eagle Knight, who was rapidly falling, threw two bombs at the ship, and the burning battleship shattered and struggled to sink into the sea.
......
Qin Hao waved his hand towards the Scorpion Palace Master who was watching with relish, "Hey! What are you doing? What are we here for? ”
"What? Watch! The palace master of the Scorpio Palace spread his hands, showed an expression of "who knows", and glanced at the ballista on the siege battleship.
"So how are we, how are we going back? There's a time flow here! Qin Hao couldn't help but feel annoyed when he remembered the speed of time. Even if the speed of time flow in this space is the same as that of the earth, Pei Yao and the fort are in the Scorpio Palace with different time flow speeds! I also resented this unreliable zodiac sign in my heart.
There must be some hidden condition! The premise that you can leave this place. Otherwise, it makes no sense at all for the zodiac to set up this naval battle! Although the Scorpio Palace Master said that this was an error, everything has cause and effect, especially for himself.
Qin Hao calmed down and looked ahead.
The commander of the besieging fleet was obviously a veteran, and in this flash of lightning, he thought of the key to turning defeat into victory, and quickly arranged a counterattack strategy.
Ballistae were fastened to the deck and reinforced, and the heavy siege bolts were removed and replaced with elongated sea-style crossbow arrows. Bundles of crossbow arrows were loaded onto the crossbow carriage. The turntable "squeaks" and turns, the crossbow plate bites the crossbow rope and tightens in circles, and the bow and crossbow open in an arc.
"Launch!" The squad leader blew a light white conch, and the "whining" sound echoed in the bay. Countless crossbow arrows flew towards the Eagle Knight in the sky.
Several Eagle Knights swooping down on bombing missions, bathed in a rain of arrows. "Bell," the Eagle Knight struck with his sword and shield, but there were too many crossbows and arrows.
And crucially, in order to increase agility, the Warhawk only equipped the armor on the parts of the heart and legs that were prone to damage, and the abdomen was not completely covered.
In this air battle, this shortcoming is infinitely magnified. The three-edged arrows shot from the bottom up pierced through the eagle's leather armor and pierced into the eagle's body, which flew upwards with a wailing flapping of its wings, while more crossbow arrows came and pierced into the eagle's belly.
Blood gushed from the abdomen and flapped its wings indiscriminately, the dying war eagle raised its head and roared, with infinite longing for the sky, and unwillingness, it fell straight like a stone falling into a lake, and the eagle knight, who depended on life and death, was also injured by crossbow arrows, and blood spilled in the blue sky.
Several Sky Hunters wrote their loyalty with their lives. When he was dying, all the remaining bombs were dumped on the invader's ship, and for a time the combined fleet was full of flames.
"Blow them up!" The captain of the Eagle Knight, hovering high in the air, was stunned, waved his sword and shield and roared loudly, and dived again towards the enemy ship below.
The Eagle Knights followed their captain closely, dropping bombs on the ships below.
In an instant, bombs flew over the Combined Fleet, and the upper deck of the battleship exploded, revealing the lower cabins, where the sailors who controlled the guns jumped into the sea to avoid the bombs.
Flames spread from the upper deck and burned violently, burning through the walls of the silos or more often detonating the shells next to the guns, and the ships that were burned or blown up slowly sank into the water.
Siege ships on the edge and behind, facing the eagle riders who swooped down
The pawn fired countless bolts. The bolts formed a "face" that swayed up and down, sealing the retreat of all the Eagle Knights.
"Climb! Climb! ”
The captain of the Eagle Knight shouted, drove the Warhawk to the emergency pull, and climbed into the clouds.
The knight behind him immediately pulled up, and the last knight was blocked off from the front of the side, pulling up the warhawk almost vertically.
The war eagle flapped its wings rapidly, using the updraft of the upper and lower wings to gain the maximum climbing force, and in an exclamation, it flew into the clouds.
The captain of the Eagle Knight felt the war eagle under him, shook lightly twice, listened attentively, there was a "ticking" sound of blood, the Knight Captain felt towards the belly of the war eagle, and in the liver position, he touched a crossbow arrow that was not in two-thirds.
The captain of the knight gently stroked the eagle's head, took a piece of dried meat from his pocket, and stuffed it into the eagle's mouth, hoping to relieve the eagle's pain, and the eagle's mouth hissed and wailed.
On a battleship at the back of the siege fleet, an admiral wearing a silver-white robe and a white beard stood on the deck looking at the warhawk hovering in the clouds high in the sky, shook his head helplessly, and ordered the Combine to stop attacking the air crossbow arrows.
The knight captain silently looked at the war eagle, slowly swallowed the meat slices, with indifference, fearlessness, and a hint of determination on his face, and made a gesture to the eagle knight beside him, preparing for the next high-altitude dive attack.
At this moment, "Woo woo," a call for retreat came from the dock. The sound of the horn pierced through the clouds and reached everyone's ears. The captain of the Eagle Knight glanced at the warship below and flew towards the docks with the warhawk.
Just flew through the defensive shield in mid-air, the life of the war eagle under his feet came to an end and fell vertically. The captain of the knight cut his pedals in mid-air and jumped to the side while standing on the back of the warhawk.
The two eagle knights beside him urgently approached and caught their captain when they were still more than ten meters above the ground. And the dead eagle fell heavily on the city wall.
The man who landed on the ground ran two steps quickly, rubbed his hand against the warhawk's head and choked up, and gently closed the warhawk's eyes.
Three enemy ships close to the shipyard were sunk, leaving only a lone mast on the sea, and the remaining two ships were burning with fire, and the battleship, which had lost its rudder, shook violently and swirled, and could sink at any time. The sailors on the enemy ship gave up, put down the boat and fled to the distant ship.
The ship, which had lost power, was sunk, and a repaired ship came from the direction of the shipyard and drove to the area of the defensive artillery of the city wall as instructed, re-sealing the sea area.
Several landing ships wanted to bypass these sunken ships and make a detour to attack the shipyard, but they did not want to be exposed to the cross-fire network of front-line batteries and could not move forward.
Then Qin Hao saw that there was a dispute among those siege fleets and quarreled. Surprised for a moment, he understood the reason for the matter: these United Navy, which had been improvised by forces that were originally weak and even had cold relations, had cracks in their interior.
Neither wants to suffer more losses than the other, lest they be destroyed by the other side in the later stages of the war. The loss of materials promised before the war is shared by everyone, and whoever makes the most effort will receive more benefits after the war. The interior of the Combined Fleet, which wants to gain more post-war benefits and does not want to lose too much, has begun to become delicate.
Even paranoid to the point that the idea that you can't work harder than I do, spread in these combined fleets.
Affected by this, most of the attacking Combined Fleet piled up at the mouth of the sea, hiding outside the range of the artillery of the front line of the defending city. As if they had made an appointment, each country left only one stronger ship to continue to form a high-pressure formation and continue to bombard the distant city walls.
Siege warfare gradually turned into a tug-of-war that consumed ammunition.
"These idiots!" Qin Hao showed a mockery and sneer on his face: "This will be eaten by the other party!" ”
"Huh? It won't be, right? "On one side of the day
The Palace Master of the Scorpion Palace shook his head: "If this city is a besieged city, it is obvious that the besieging party will receive assistance. ”
"It was on land, and now the besieging side is in the sea...... Replenishment of ammunition and supplies is much more difficult. What's more important is that the defenders can take advantage of this to get a breather and potentially upgrade their equipment...... Even at night, a sneak attack team may be sent to scuttle the battleship......" Qin Hao touched his chin, and there were more than a hundred ways to repel the siege fleet. As long as the commander-in-chief of the defending side is not a fool, this defensive battle is bound to be won.
"Then you say you can turn the tide of the war now?" When the palace master of the Scorpion Palace heard Qin Hao's explanation, he also saw the weakness of the besieging side.
"It's hard, but it's a risk. But I was struck by one strange thing: the commander of the siege fleet was not a fool, so why not? Qin Hao frowned and groaned.
"Oh? The way to take the risk? What is the method? The palace master of the Scorpio Palace came to his senses and turned his head from the side of the ship and asked.
"Attack the shipyard together and break through from the shipyard at any cost." Qin Hao glanced at the city wall in the distance and shook his head: "It's too late...... The siege fleet was defeated......"
As if to confirm his words, a black hole in the barrel of a cannon sticks out of the battlement of the city wall, and some white gas emerges from the barrel, and there is a gurgling sound from that position.
Seeing this, Qin Hao's eyes jumped sharply, and he covered his ears with his hands and squatted in the cabin. He roared angrily at the Scorpio Palace Palace Master who was still watching the battle: "Cover your ears!" Squat down! ”
Just when the palace master of the Scorpion Palace was surprised, the giant cannon rang out.
First sparks and billowing smoke burst out in all directions, then a rumbling sound echoed through the harbor, and the huge recoil of the cannon fired was absorbed by the gun carriage, and the aftershocks trembled on the boulder turret.
The cannonballs flying in the sky spun at high speed, smelling of sulfur and iron filings, and fell in the direction of the United Fleet.
At the mouth of the bay ahead, the coalition warships, which had been hugging each other and were on guard, were now directly hit by shells. The bomb cracked, and the filled stones and iron filings flew out in a flash, and on the Sweeper's deck, Coalition soldiers in leather armor and shirts. Immediately wailing all over the ground.
At this time, the second shell from the defending army had arrived. After being recalibrated by the huge cannon, the shells fired sank the two battleships at the mouth of the sea.
The siege fleets in the bay pushed each other, and the soldiers who saw the power of the cannon were terrified. The large ships that had been in the interior of the bay began to evacuate, and these four-story warships with huge ramming angles continued to accelerate and crashed towards the mouth of the sea at full speed.
The two or three layers of ships that were near the mouth of the sea were completely dissected by these giant ships. The mast broke, the deck split in two, sawdust flew everywhere, and the sailors on board jumped into the water early, cursing loudly. The scene was chaotic for a while.
The swarming splash rippled in the bay and hit the battleship where Qin Hao and the Scorpion Palace Master were located, forming a whirlpool that rotated counterclockwise. This battleship, which could not be bombarded by the fleets of the two besieging sides, tilted towards that vortex at this moment, sinking little by little.
When Qin Hao saw this strange scene, when he saw that the Palace Master of the Scorpion Palace was about to jump towards the whirlpool, he hurriedly stopped. "Don't be stupid! Anything ...... in the whirlpool"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a dizziness, his breathing became rapid, and a huge pressure squeezed his chest tightly, as if a palm was rubbing his heart.
Am I going to die? Qin Hao muttered in a low voice, "Can ...... Am I not married to Toto yet? ”
