Chapter 97: Demonic Fire
readx;
The herald did not say nonsense, the retreat plan of the defenders of the battery was indeed part of the battle plan!
And the prerequisite for triggering this part of the battle plan is that the enemy's forbidden spell release platform is approaching a range of 1,500 meters!
Retreating at this time can perfectly avoid the tragic loss caused by the enemy's forbidden spell on the battery bombardment, and save the precious soldiers' lives for the navy!
After learning that this was part of the plan, Yue Shi Niang did not insist any longer, and immediately issued an order to retreat, and soon, the remaining defenders on the eastern fort all followed the road down the mountain and withdrew to the port position. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Naturally, there were heralds on the other three batteries to convey orders, but it was only ten minutes, and the defenders on the other three batteries also embarked on the road to withdraw to the port area under the leadership of their respective commanders.
"Ran away?! Haha, they actually ran away! Sure enough, pirates are pirates, and even if they change their name to the navy, they can't change their essence! After seeing through the clairvoyant mirror that the defenders on the fort had turned and flashed, Utaniv laughed hysterically.
"See? Lenster? As long as we persevere, victory will be ours! If I had listened to you, the kingdom would have suffered a senseless defeat! After laughing enough, Utaniv smugly asked Deputy Commander Lancest, who had been helped to a chair by the skeletons.
Ranster's face was pale, and he didn't say a word, in fact, the battle situation has developed to this point, if he doesn't regret his previous cowardice, it must be fake! It's just that if he wants to bow his head to the arrogant Utanif and admit his mistake, it's also a fantasy!
At this time, the forbidden spell release platform has entered a distance of one thousand meters from the harbor, and the chanting of the forbidden spell has been completed, and it is in a state where it can be bombarded at any time!
"It's almost time! The herald ordered the mage legion to bombard those forts for a round first, completely destroy them, and then start chanting again, and when they enter the port area, it is estimated that there will be another round of forbidden spell bombardment! Utaniv put down the clairvoyant mirror and said to the skeleton soldier holding the banner.
The skeleton soldier nodded, turned around, and sent the flag to the chain boat platform.
"Start the forbidden spell release, target four forts!"
The leader of the mage legion located on the mast gondola immediately swung the dark crystal staff and divided the massive corrosive elements that had already condensed above the mage group's heads into four parts with precise magic control ability, and hit the four turrets respectively!
Corrosion is a forbidden spell for the military: all things are empty!
Although the damage ability of each part of the forbidden spell divided into four parts was much weaker, it was not difficult to destroy the not very large fort position, only to see those corrosive elemental clouds swept up at an extremely terrifying speed, and exploded in the air above the target point, and the four solid and reliable forts melted and collapsed in an instant, turning into four piles of ruins!
"Order the artillery fleet to attack the waterways!" Utaniv said with a big wave of his hand.
Once again, the Skeleton Herald sent the flag out with great efficiency.
"Your Excellency, Commander." But I didn't want to, and at this moment, Lanster, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
"Do what?" Utaniv squinted at the "defeated dog".
"Don't do anything, I just want to tell you that the iron ship turned around!" Lancet said with a blank face.
"U-turn?!" Utaniv was startled, and hurriedly raised his clairing mirror to glance at the mouth of the waterway, and found that the iron ship, which had lost two magic cannons, really turned its bow and aimed it at the artillery formation of the self-army with one side of the ship again.
"What is it trying to do? Do you resist stubbornly and buy time for your friends to escape? Utaniv sneered.
Lancet shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, in fact his guess was similar to that of Utaniv, and in his opinion, the ironclad ship with only a few dozen guns left was not a big threat, even if it was a threat.
"Since it is looking for death, then let's fulfill it!" Utaniv said.
Soon, the remaining forty or so Magic Gunboats began to turn their guns to the Beta.
At this time, in the gun bay of the Beta, Buchen kicked open an ammunition box with a red surface and a skull pattern printed on it.
"You know what? Theresa, a long, long time ago, there was an unfamiliar navy that used iron cables to tie the ships together in order to defeat an opponent who was familiar with water. Buchen said to Teresa in a joking tone.
Seeing that Buchen was still in a leisurely mood to talk about the ancients at this time, Teresa couldn't help but be angry and funny, but she was not interested in ruining Buchen's interest, so she simply followed Buchen's words and asked, "Then what?" Did they defeat the sailors? ”
Buchen sneered and shook his head: "Although the warships that are connected together are indeed very stable, and even horses can run on them, this has not brought them victory in the war. ”
"So they lost?"
"Yes!" Buchen's smile became colder: "They were all burned to death!" 830,000 lives were burned! ”
Teresa glanced at the cannonball in Buchen's hand, she knew what it was for.
"Listen to Da Zhuang say that you are the best gunners in our army?" Buchen asked the two teams of army artillery sent by Lu Dazhuang.
"Back to the lord, if we recognize the second in the army, no one will dare to recognize the first!" The captain of an artillery team said with pride on his face.
"Crazy enough!" Buchen nodded, "But I like it!" ”
Hearing Buchen say this, the strongest gunners laughed.
"Prove it to me now! The strength that can make you so crazy! Buchen shoved a cannonball into the gunner's hand.
"Lord, just look at it!"
Buchen nodded: "With rifled guns, the target is that chain ship!" ”
"Understood!"
The artillerymen agreed, and immediately moved quickly!
The shells that are not given to the artillerymen are actually a kind of flowering shells, except that this kind of shells do not touch the fuse, and can only be used to trim the length of the lead to regulate the explosion time, and the other parts are actually not particularly different from modern high-explosive shells.
Its shell is made of cast iron, hollow inside, and has a decent amount of charge, which is unmatched in its damage ability for those current wooden-hulled warships in this world! Especially at present, this kind of shell is different from ordinary flowering shells, and the explosives in its warhead are still not specially made by the Zodiac!
The artillerymen skillfully used the mop to first clean the rifled gun's breech, then stuffed the firing ~ medicine bag into it, compacted it, and then the experienced gun commander trimmed the length of the lead of the shell, corrected the muzzle pointing, and finally ignited the lead of the shell and stuffed it into the gun chamber!
"Put!"
The two gunners inserted the fire drill into the fire door almost at the same time!
"Boom !!"
The sound of shelling from rifled guns rang out!
After spinning at high speed in the barrel of the cannon, the flowering shell immediately burst out of the muzzle of the cannon at a speed that is difficult to see with the naked eye, and then flew towards the forbidden curse release platform with a relatively low trajectory!
Seeing the firelight, which was much faster than the ordinary smoothbore cannon, go away, Buchen nervously clenched his fists!
The outcome of this battle depends on whether this kind of shell can achieve the effect he expects!
It was too late, it was fast, but after just over a second of flight time, two cannonballs accurately hit the platform of the chain boat, and one of them happened to fall into the pile of people with the mage pattern, and suddenly, a large group of flames and screams suddenly erupted!
"Uhhh!!hh
The necromancer of the Immortal Kingdom shook the flames on his body desperately, but it was meaningless, those flames were like demons, whether it was on his clothes or on his skin, as long as they were slightly stained, they would burn until the person was completely burned into a pile of charcoal!
"Jump into the sea!"
Some of the mages who had not been shot reminded loudly.
"It doesn't work, it's still burning!"
Someone tried, but found that even the sea could not extinguish the flames!
"Then use magic, water magic!"
However, the normally omnipotent magic has also lost its effect! The ultra-pure water generated by the water magic splashed on the flame, at most it only weakened the flame slightly, and then the flame not only rekindled, but also burned more violently!
"Don't come near me! I warn you, don't come near me! ”
Seeing people running around with all the flames in mind, some mages finally couldn't take it anymore and killed their own companions!
And those mages who are burning on their bodies are not willing to sit still, and whoever attacks them will use the last bit of their lives to wield their staffs and chant spells to die with them!
At the height of the mast, the head of the mage group, who was not affected, stared at the scene below in amazement, and muttered, "Crazy, crazy!" What the hell is this?! ”
