Chapter 211: Ring Base (3) (Vote! My Big Babies!)
Walrus people in the island world have always been known for their ferocity, and it is naturally not their style to take a beating but not fight back. Soon after the Ring Base bombarded its fleet with flaming stone cannons, the Broken Fang Clan launched a retaliatory counterattack.
"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh...... The massive crossbow machines aboard the Fallen Walrus battleship began to wield, and the coral bolts, sharpened with barbs and blades, began to rain down onto the walls of the circular base.
The leather shields provided by the rafters for the guards were naturally unable to resist the accumulation of such crossbow arrows, and often a single crossbow arrow would kill many people at the same time. Even if this heavy crossbow misses the wall, it will directly collapse a small section of the wooden wall. Many of the defenders were carried into the open sea by the collapsed wall, never to rise again.
Not only that, but some of the crossbow arrows have stiff ropes made of several strands of aquatic weeds attached to them, and if they hook something to hold onto, the walrus people on those ships will pull hard, allowing their ships to get closer to the base wall faster.
"Archers prepare!" "Captain of the Guard, as he ran and instructed the civilians to repair the fence with fish glue and wood, and at the same time gave the order with all his might: "First near and then far, look for the elite walrus, shoot freely!"
In Quiss's opinion, the weapons used by the raft archers in the island world are not without merit in terms of shape - similar to the Japanese bow he had seen in his previous life, using bamboo and wood as the main body and about six feet long, using an eccentric shooting method to obtain maximum tension, shooting long arrows with whalebone or sea beast teeth as arrows.
It's just that although this longbow is very powerful and has no problem breaking through the armor made of mussel shells on the elite walrus, the rate of fire is very low, and the number of archers is not large, so it cannot effectively stop the enemy.
Especially after some damage, elite walrus people will either raise a thick shield made of clams or simply hide behind some ordinary walrus. After shooting for a while, there were actually very few people who were actually killed.
The captain of the guard also noticed the problem, so he immediately changed his strategy, telling the archers to quickly withdraw and replace them with more shield-wielding guards to fend off the onslaught of the first wave of walrusmen.
The windmills in the ring base were all in motion, and a large amount of seawater was pumped directly into the wall, and then fired by the water cannons, washing away the approaching ships of the Broken Tooth Clan.
With a loud bang, the first walrus ship slammed into the ring base, and the angle of its front end was even more rigidly dug into the wall, and it could not be pushed away for a while.
"Shoot the stick, hurry up and put the stick!"
This time, without waiting for the captain of the escort to order, several experienced veterans who had experienced many Black Flag Walrus crises made the same decision.
The array of poles erected inside the fence was suddenly lowered at one end of the net bag with a large number of stones saddled, and the other end of the net, which was tied with a large number of sharpened wooden spikes, quickly reversed out of the wall and slammed into the approaching walrus ship.
Each lever was soaked in blood as it was lifted - the walrus men of the Broken Tooth Clan, who had gathered in the bow of their respective ships and were about to climb the walls of the ring base, were "patted" squarely, and suffered heavy casualties in an instant.
The rafters guarding the wall were greatly encouraged, and for a time all kinds of cheers came and went. However, the veterans who had just put down the racket were holding their weapons tightly at this time, and they did not dare to be careless.
The veterans knew that among the ancient tusks of the Walrus people, there were some shamans who were good at communicating with the elements. In fact, the Broken Fang Clan did not "disappoint" them - they were old enough that the shamans of the Broken Fang Clan knew a certain elemental spell that had not been passed down among many other young clans.
"Frozen Seal!"
A dazzling rune appeared on the walls of the ring base, and as long as it was within the range of this rune seal, any creature could instantly experience the colder weather than the winter on Houjian Island.
Stiff, incredibly stiff.
Both the defenders and the defensive weapons they control have been affected, and the cold air that freezes into the bone marrow reduces the ability of the floating rafters around them. Even something as simple as raising your hand and stomping your foot becomes extremely sluggish.
The situation of walrus people is very different, due to the thick subcutaneous fat. The "Frozen Seal" did not make a walrus man feel uncomfortable.
An elite Broken Tooth Clan warrior roared and rolled forward on the deck of the ship—a traditional martial art of its race, using its size to gain momentum and roll forward at high speeds, unleashing power at the last moment.
"Walrus God Fist!"
The huge fist glove made of a whole piece of manganese iron stone was tightly imprinted on the wall of the ring base, and the defenders who were troubled by the "Ice Seal" did not have time to make any response, only heard a muffled "boom", and the wall was smashed into a hole the size of a person.
The walrus warrior who caused all this just shook his dizzy head, laughed and burst through the hole, and began to kill all sides under the wall.
However, this is only the beginning, and many elite walrus people have followed the same practice of being the first to rush into the ring base, and while the "ice seal" released by the shaman is still in effect, they have rolled to the edge of the wall to slap the "walrus divine fist" and smoothly enter the circle base.
"Bang bang bang bang", several elite walrus people broke holes together, causing a small section of the wall to lose its foundation and there was a massive collapse. Standing on this section of the wall, Quest used the bamboo spear in his hand to jump to a safe place nearby.
The rest of the defenders were not so lucky, as they all fell into the Walrus' boats, where they were killed by the cruel enemy and then strung to terrorize their own countrymen.
"Spearmen take down the city wall, hurry up!" The captain of the guard has completely become the captain of the fire at this time, leading several good men to continuously surround and kill the elite walrus warriors who rushed into the ring base, "Block the entrance to the cave in formation!"
In his eagerness, the captain's moves became more and more insidious. Taking advantage of the walrus's large size and short arms, he constantly went around its back and beckoned down three times with a bronze spear. As long as the walrus man is injured in the Achilles tendon or the gut, and he can't support it and sits on the ground, everyone will rush up and stab him to death.
After the elite walrus people cleared the way, many ordinary members of the Broken Fang Clan rushed in, but they were killed by the archers, who had previously withdrawn from the wall, and now they also occupied the high ground, pouring arrows as best they could.
The walrus of the Broken Fang Clan and the floating raft people of the ring base, the offensive and defensive sides were at a standoff for a while.
