Chapter 58: Attack on the Pirate Castle
In an era when naval battles were all about jumping gangs and rockets were rare, the pirates were uncomfortable with such an enemy that was beyond common sense, but there were still experienced guys who coped with it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A few pirate ships hiding behind other ships began to raise their sails and anchor, and in all corners of the haven, small boats were thrown into the water, and pirates began to carry a variety of weapons on board, and it looked like a pack of wolves besieging elephants.
The kobold, who has no scruples and shoots chain bullets, has to be careful.
Captain Hu Ge sat on the 'Golden Leaf' and calmly estimated the time. Now, the four ships are divided into two parts, and they break into two harbors respectively, but fortunately Liu Jingtian runs back and forth, otherwise, the coordination of the two sides is also a problem.
There were more and more small sampans on the sea, and there were already sporadic bows and arrows, flying towards the kobold. Moreover, several pirate ships left the dock one after another and slowly moved.
Finally, Captain Hu Ge gave the order to raise the anchor and leave the port!
The kobold finally breathed a sigh of relief, adjusting the sail angle, raising the anchor and turning the rudder, and the deck was in a hurry. But they were so short that the pirates in the distance couldn't see them. All they saw was that a few big boats moved on their own, slowly turning, hoisting their sails, and swaggering away.
Perhaps there are timid sailors and captains who will really listen to the rumors of the 'ghost ship' and be frightened by kobolds. But the masters of the island, the Bayer brothers, were not going to rest on their laurels - their immediate garrisons began to mobilize.
At the exit of the two harbors, the headlands were laid out with strong defensive structures, and there were already sleepy-eyed men wearing armor. At the exit of the harbor, people began to push wooden rafts into the water, and these wooden boxes were tied to the top of the extremely thick cables, and the other end was tethered to the land, apparently to seal the port.
However, kobolds are not much stressed.
A few boats calmly drove to the exit, then lowered their sails and opened their gun doors...... Another round of fire trees bloomed, and several wooden stone watchtowers and watchtowers were punched out of holes.
For the wooden rafts on the water, it is not a threat.
When the ship was first built, several people forgot to design the ramming angle. But later, when several traversers were blowing water for the ancient naval battle, they thought of this design loophole...... Then there is only one remedy:
Use a steel plate about three or four millimeters thick, brush it with waterproof paint and nail it to the waterline of the bow. It can not only strengthen the structure, but also prevent reefs and the like, and if necessary, you can do some special modifications on the steel plate, barely as a collision angle.
This time, although the dog-headed boat was not equipped with ramming angles, it was directly hit with steel plates, and these wooden rafts could not be broken at all, and at most some paint was lost.
The boats did not dwell long with the small fortress covering the headland, and then hoisted their sails and left, leaving behind the ruins of several smoking buildings. Occasionally, there were also small sampans that were extremely fast to catch up with the flotilla, and several outlaws tried to climb aboard...... However, the arquebusiers on board did not eat for nothing, and after a few attacks, the fleet won several large rowboats for nothing.
Finally, by the time the pirates came out of the chaos and got rid of the scarred cars and prepared to launch a full-scale counterattack, the kobolds were already in groups of two ships, blocking the harbor with cannons.
"That's right! This is half stable! Captain Hu Ge, the sea will be handed over to you, I'll go inland to have a look, and then it's time for land battles. ”
On land, the march went well. Each of the three detachments carried two 'shrinking cannons', and the operation was quite efficient.
Along the way, the team of Operation Dark had the advantage of vision, eating a few pirates who were guarding and delivering letters, and played the term 'black eat black' with a new twist.
Finally, here in the freshwater lake in the middle of the island, the three teams had a thrilling rendezvous and regrouped. The commander of the artillery battalion, No. 015 Mary Sue, served as the commander-in-chief.
Finally, the dog-headed army of nearly 1,000 people began to show their fangs, and under the noses of the small village next to them, they formed a phalanx and began to march towards the castle.
However, the battle that Liu Jingtian had expected to take place in the village did not happen. The aborigines, huddled in their homes and pretended to be small and transparent.
That's fine, Commander 015 Mary Sue didn't bother to provoke, and besides, the pirates didn't seem to like to come to the interior of the island to hang around, and the army moved forward smoothly.
But Brother Long rarely seemed to be very honest - climbed into the gun carriage and snored. The night was so difficult that he was blind, and during the day he began to feel sleepy again, so he simply slept.
Liu Jingtian, who was flying in the sky, saw his army from a distance and was in a good mood.
"It's stable, this one won't lose no matter what, Kukuku~~ In other words, the conditions of this island are good, there are mountains, rivers and docks, which is the foundation of Wang Ba! Looking at the area, as long as the rain is not too little, it is a small meaning to open a few thousand acres of land. Wait, it's okay if there's less water! The old man can burn glass, and then play with the desalination project, which is nothing more than taking up some space. ”
Then, he pinched his fingers and began to calculate: "One hectare of land is equal to sixteen acres of land, and one square kilometer is equal to one hundred hectares, how can this island also have ten or eight square kilometers?"
The kobold army rolled forward, and after ten minutes, it was already approaching the pirate castle.
At this time, not to mention those panicked pirates, even the Bayer brothers, who have been in power for more than ten years, are panicking -- where did this large group of monsters come from? Could it be that they are in league with the strange ships at sea? Not good! The secrets at hand must be something wrong?
Kobolds are rolling in, and the number is staggering. But when they got closer and looked closer, everyone laughed - a large bunch of things not much bigger than babies, carrying little black iron rods, was enough!
The kobold stopped three hundred meters outside the castle and fiddled with the clamor and invective of the pirates and the castle defenders. This time, two companies of arquebuses were used to draw out a wide front, one company was used as a reserve and rear guard, and the last remaining company was split in half to guard the flanks.
Directly in front of the team, six 'Shrinking Six-pounder Cannons' were also launched to make it easy to carry.
Not long after, while the enemy was still haggling, the kobold's cannon went off, and six iron bullets flew across the battlefield, accurately smashing on the stone castle, causing multiple collapses.
At this moment, the pirates and their backers -- the Bayer brothers, who occupy the island, -- could not sit still at all -- this devilish weapon! Sure enough, it was in league with several strange ships on the sea!
The kobold is so slow to fire the cannon, anyway, we are not in a hurry!
The pirates who were working separately were still arguing with the Bayer brothers - 'who is the cannon fodder' and other bad debts, but now everyone is not exhausted, hundreds of people simply make a bunch, 'woo wow wow~~' With a roar, they carried a variety of weapons and pounced on the kobold.
