"Your Excellency, Commander, all the warships have entered combat condition, and the commanders of the Second and Fourth Fleets, Hill and Sabony, have they entered the combat position?"

On the Expedition, the flagship of the 1st Coast Defense of Sisis, Alamsey was standing at the bow of the ship with a monocular in his hand looking out at Alcatraz Island, when the first mate beside him asked loudly.

Alcatraz lay quietly on the surface of the sea, like a devil hiding his figure in the sea, the last time he came to this island with a warship and warriors, he suffered a terrible setback, and he will never forget this shame that he will never forget.

Today, he is going to wash away the shame left to him by this island with blood!

Hearing the first mate's question, Alamsey took the monocular down, then muttered for a while, and said, "Let Hill take his fleet into combat positions and deliver the first round of artillery strikes on Shipwreck Island!"

Soon, the decks of the ships of the Second Fleet were busy, and their shouts could still be heard from a long distance.

"Turn the rudder to the left at 90 degrees, lower the sail at half a sail!"

The thirty-two warships that lay across the sea slowly sailed out of nine battleships, all of which were three-masted griffon-class battleships, each armed with a full forty cannons, and each round of shelling had nearly twenty cannons roaring at the same time.

When these nine warships came out of the fleet at the same time and lined up in a line, they were connected head to tail, stretching for nearly three hundred meters, and there seemed to be an extra yellow-brown chain on the sea.

"Release the spool, open the gun bay, and roll out the cannon!"

A shout rang out from the deck of the Second Fleet, shattering the thick clouds in the sky.

The murderous aura of the Sithian navy made not a single seabird visible in the sky above the flying of their banners, and these creatures seemed to have sensed that a fierce battle was about to break out in this calm sea.

In the turquoise blue sea, which is as clear as a jewel, even if you look down with the naked eye, you can see schools of fish fleeing from this place at a rapid pace.

One cannon after another was pushed out of the cannon bay by the powerful sailors, like a black wave, and the holes of the black holes were like the fangs of demons, emitting a cold light.

Some sailors used short axes to split open the cannonball box containing lead pellets and stuffed fist-sized shells into the chamber, while others used short daggers to pry open the round plugs on the powder kegs and pour black powder into the chambers.

The normally spacious gun compartment became cramped and cramped at this time, and the sailors were almost shirtless, beads of sweat rolling down their bulging muscles, some falling on the gun, some on the deck, and soon evaporated by the suffocating hot air.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Second Guard has received a message that they are ready! Excuse me, can we start the attack?" the first mate said loudly, standing on the deck, raising his head to Alamsey on the bridge command platform.

Alam Shei narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, seemed to be sniffing the thick smell of gunpowder in the air, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes glanced at Alcatraz Island, like looking at a dying prey at his feet.

He didn't speak, just raised his right hand, which was wearing snow-white silk gloves, and gently waved it down in the air!

The first mate turned his head and shouted at the herald in charge of the flag: "Fire!"

The bright flag was quickly raised on the flagpole, and a rapid roar rang out from the Second Coastal Guard: "Open fire!!"

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

More than 100 cannons retreated back to the gun bay with a deafening roar.

The calm sea suddenly shuddered, and the water under the battleship X was violently sunk by the cannons, and the battleship lying across it was slightly tilted by the recoil generated by the fierce shelling.

The Second Coastal Guard was shrouded in smoke from the shelling for a moment, and the crowded gun compartments were filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the violent gunfire just now almost deafened the ears of these sailors.

After the first round of shelling, some of them made a neat horn sound and desperately pushed the cannon back into its original position, while others quickly cleaned the barrel and the residue of gunpowder inside with the cannon plug, and some quickly stuffed another shell into the barrel.

The Second Coastal Guard seems to have become a terrifying killing machine, and every sailor on the battleship is like a part in this delicate and terrifying war machine, busy running.

Just after the first round of shelling by the Second Coastal Guard began, Nia commanded the black slaves of the Dada tribe and the sailors on her own warship to desperately carry the cannons to the cliffs of the peninsula.

Far away, Nia suddenly saw a flash of red light on the distant seashore, like a continuous burst of sparks.

The experienced first mate immediately roared loudly: "Shelling, looking for cover!!"

The cannonballs tore through the air, causing a high-pitched whistling sound and slamming down on Alcatraz.

The sea and rocky beach on the west side of Alcatraz Island suddenly stirred up countless drops of water and plumes of smoke.

These solid round lead bullets were bombarded by artillery for a few nautical miles, and each time the cannon went down to a deep pit on the ground, and some of the shells bombarded the boulders, exploding into a chaotic explosion of rocks, and the sound was extremely terrifying.

But fortunately, these shells are not flowering shells, and as long as they are not hit by shells, as long as they are not hit by the debris that the shells blow up, nothing will happen to people.

It's just that the black slaves who were responsible for transporting the cannons and some sailors who were not very experienced in combat were frightened to the ground by this fierce bombardment, and they opened their mouths wide, covered their ears, and their eyes were full of horror and fear.

The first round of shelling made Alcatraz tremble, but the actual damage to Nia and them was not too great, only a few sailors were unfortunately hit by the shells, and immediately turned into a cloud of flesh and blood.

After Nia fell to the ground and felt a burst of dirt from the cannonballs on her body, she raised her head, spat heavily, patted the dirt on her body, and turned back to the frightened black slaves and sailors and yelled, "Don't be stunned, we must build the fort before they attack!"

The black slaves and sailors were screamed by Nia's fierce roar, and they hurriedly got up, hunched over one by one, and desperately pushed the cannons towards the fort point of the cliff.

Although the cannons were loaded with wheels, they were extremely heavy, and the ground was full of rocks, and the black slaves and sailors were desperately shouting and pushing up, and the cannons advanced very slowly.

Nia was so anxious that she unconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the shelling, only to see another flash of red light on the sea.

The second round of shelling is coming!

Nia gritted her teeth in her heart, if they kept shelling, what year and month would the cannon be able to push up?

Nia snorted and took off her crisp jacket, her towering chest was tightly wrapped in a snow-white breastcloth, although she was a woman, she was as strong as a female leopard.

The woman threw herself in front of the cannon, pushed the base of the fort with both hands, and yelled at the slaves and sailors who were lying around looking for cover: "Don't hide, these guys can't hit us!"

But as soon as her words fell, the cannonball landed on Alcatraz Island.

Everyone opened their mouths as the rumbling cannon roared, and the air seemed to tremble.

The sound of the cannon shook everyone's chest, and the heart in each shell was beating violently, and each shelling was like a person with a hammer and a hard blow to their chest!

Nia stood tall alone, standing in the midst of the rumbling artillery fire, surrounded by rocks, her blonde hair dancing wildly, her body as immobile as a flagpole!

There was once a man named Tang Jie who stood proudly in the artillery fire, and now Nia had to grit her teeth, desperately recalling Tang Jie's demeanor at that time, and desperately imitating him.

Even in the most intensive artillery fire, she still has the courage to hold out her chest, such a person is worthy of being her captain and worthy of the word "captain"!

The sailors and black slaves who were prostrate on the ground to avoid the shells saw Nia standing in the midst of the artillery fire, surrounded by artillery fire, but her face did not change and she was unscathed!

The sailors and the black slaves were stunned, and their hearts were terrified!

I saw Nia standing in the midst of the artillery fire, and scolded them angrily, "What are you doing?

These men were just frightened by this amazing bombardment, but after all, they were masculine men of flesh and blood, and when they were scolded by a woman like this, they all felt blushing and quickly got up one by one.

They gritted their teeth, puffed out their cheeks, and shouted as they slowly pushed the cannon upwards.

Soon, the third round of shelling came again.

These sailors and black slaves pushing the cannon subconsciously turned around and wanted to cannon, but they found that Nia's arm pushing the cannon was as firm as a rock, and she couldn't see the cannonballs falling around her eyes at all, and there was only one place in her pupils, that is, the distance was only ten meters away, and the damn battery location!.

Led by Nia's example, the sailors and slaves roared to the rumble of cannons and pushed the first cannon onto the battery position.

Before she could rejoice, a sharp cannonball whizzed through the sky and ran towards her.

As soon as Nia heard the voice, she knew that the cannonball was going to fall next to her, and she yelled, "Get out of the way!" and then, pulling the nearest person next to her, one threw herself to the ground.

With a "boom", the shell just landed on this cannon, and immediately exploded the barrel of several hundred pounds flying several meters high, and then fell heavily and smashed on several black slaves and sailors, instantly smashing them into meat sauce, and blood flowed everywhere!

Nia looked at the round cannon body tumbling on the ground, and finally risked her life to transport a cannon, and it was blown away like this!

Nia trembled with anger, her face was pale, she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said: "Ten gold coins for the dead, I will personally hand over the money to his family, and my family will take care of them for the rest of my life! Now, the man with the egg under his crotch will follow me, and the coward who has not planted it will get out quickly! I don't believe that a cannon can't be delivered!"

Nia's words caused the sailors and black slaves to have red eyes, and they threw themselves down the cliff with a scream, and once again slowly pushed a cannon up.

......

"Your Excellency, Commander!" the first mate stood on the command platform, observing the situation on Alcatraz Island, he put down his monoculars, pointed to the cliffs that protruded like pincers on both sides, and said, "I see traces of enemy activity there!"

Alamsey kept squinting slightly, as if he was admiring the rumbling cannon, which to him sounded more like a symphony of excitement and heroism.

He heard the adjutant's voice, turned his head, pulled the monocular in his hand, and looked in the direction of the cliff.

Sure enough, he could see some small ant-like people wriggling on the cliff, but he didn't know what they were doing.

"Hmph......" Alam Shei thought for a moment, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Do you want to wait for me to go in and hit me condescendingly?"

Alam Shei is not a wine bag rice bag, he is the elite of the aristocratic elite, although he has been addicted to alcohol all these years, but his naval combat experience and awareness are still there, and his current vigilance is high enough, how can he not see through the little tricks that a few pirates want to play?

"Wishful thinking fanatics ......," Alamsey sneered, then put down his monoculars, pointed in the direction of the cliff, and said, "Pass my orders...... Concentrate the bow guns of the First Fleet and the Fourth Fleet on the hilltop, and let the Second Fleet carry out a covering attack on these two places!"

"Raze these two hills for me!" said Alamsey coldly.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!" the first mate saluted, and quickly conveyed the order.

The ships of the First and Fourth Fleets slowly moved the direction of the bows, the muzzles of the large-caliber heavy guns aimed at the cliffs of Alcatraz Island, and the sailors at the bow were busy adding shells and gunpowder to the bow guns.

The bow gun, it is the largest, most powerful, and largest tonnage heavy gun on a battleship.

This kind of heavy cannon is often because of the recoil is too large, and the sailors are afraid that the barrel of this giant cannon will hurt the hull and sailors because of the recoil, so most of them choose to nail this kind of giant cannon to the bow of the ship. Although the nailed bow guns were powerful and had a long range, they were often immobile because of their fixed and inactive gun positions, which led to their poor accuracy.

The sailors could carry out shelling only by adjusting the direction of the bow.

But everything was relative, and when the remaining twenty or so ships of the 1st and 4th Coastal Guards of the Sithis turned their bows at the same time and aimed their bow guns at the cliffs on either side of Alcatraz, this poor accuracy was compensated for by the intensity of firepower.

In particular, the 2nd Coastal Defense Fleet once again adjusted their formation, they divided the formation into two semicircular fans, and the ships arranged in an arc on both sides aimed the cannons of the gun bays at the cliffs of Alcatraz.

When Alamsey gave the order to start shelling, disaster struck!

The sailors and black slaves who rushed to deliver the cannons on the cliffs on both sides of Alcatraz Island were subjected to the most terrible covering bombardment!

More than 20 large-caliber bow guns and more than 100 cabin cannons bombarded the two protruding cliffs in turn like a raging storm.

From a distance, I saw that these two craggy and steep cliffs were densely covered with artillery fire and gunsmoke, and there were tumbling columns of smoke everywhere!

No matter how brave Nia was, she couldn't lift her head under this ferocious fire, the power of the large-caliber bow gun and the cabin cannon were not the same, and when this caliber cannon slammed the cannonball on Alcatraz Island, it was like sending a small meteorite!

Nia's body fell to the ground tightly, she felt the Alcatraz Island under her x like being held by a giant in her hand and swaying vigorously, waving, she was dizzy and her limbs were weak!

Courage didn't work in this kind of bombardment, and the only thing she could do was to keep her body as low as she could, so that the flying rubble and stray bullets would not hit them.

She didn't expect that before the real string battle and hand-to-hand combat began, they had almost broken their backbones and broken up the morale that had been so hard to gather.

The cunning and ferocious wolf of Aramsie immediately spotted Nia's intentions and responded to them with the most ferocious artillery fire.

"Nia, Nia......" Bill's thin body sprang through the fire, screaming loudly, looking for Nia's figure.

Nia raised an arm, waved it, and roared, "I'm here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a cannonball fell, exploding not far from her, and the flying rubble suddenly cut a bloody cut in her arm.

As if blessed by the gods, Bill made his way through the artillery fire to Nia, and he didn't suffer the slightest injury.

He threw himself at Nya and shouted, "The artillery fire is too fierce for our artillery to be transported, what should we do?"

Nia sucked the blood flowing from the wound on her arm with her mouth, and then slammed it on the ground, her two eyebrows tightly twisted together: "This can't be done! Our intentions have been discovered by Alamshei, if we forcibly place a fort on this cliff, the price paid will be too great, and many people will die!"

"We can't afford such casualties!The sailors and the slaves will mutiny!!" Bill cried out as he put his mouth to Nia's ear, the roar of the cannon barely making it impossible for them to face each other.

"Withdraw...... Nia gritted her teeth and snapped out these two words.

Bill didn't hear clearly, and yelled at the top of his voice, "What did you just say?"

Nia snapped: "Withdraw! Leave these cannons alone! It's a big deal to engage them in hand-to-hand combat for a while!"

"Nia!" Bill grabbed Nia's arm, "Let Lilith teach them a lesson!

Nia didn't think about it, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "No!!"

"Why?" said Bill.

"Lilith is our last hole card, and we must not use it until the most critical time!" Nia raised her head slightly, her eyes fiercely staring at the battleship floating on the sea in the distance.

"We can't wait for the captain to come back!" Nya dug her fingers into the dirt and pinched a handful of dirt, she muttered, "Lilith is our only hope of being able to deal with Alamshe, I'm going to use her to kill Alamshe!"

Bill was stunned, he only felt his scalp tingle for a while.

Nia even wants to defeat the enemy in front of her!

She, she's crazy?!

It is good that the range of the mage is twice as far as the cannon, but it should be noted that once the cannon is also in range, the cannon has no advantage over the mage.

What's more, if Lilith is to perform a precise magic attack, there must be an attack point with good vision, such as the cliffs on both sides.

But once Lilith unleashes a magic there, she will **** her position, and she will definitely be attacked by overwhelming artillery fire in the next second, burying her in an instant!

Even if Lilith could use magic to sink Alamsei's battleship in the first place, if Lilith was sacrificed because of this, Nia would not be willing, she knew that Tang Jie would definitely not approve of this approach.

And Alamshei would definitely rather lose the two warships he had snatched into the harbor than kill this magician, this is definitely an extremely good deal!

Nia's plan was to use the turret to sink the ships that had entered the harbor of Alam Shei, blocking the beach on the west side, thus creating the illusion that they were going to defend Alcatraz Island, and then they could use the remaining two ships hidden in the secret harbor on the south side to take advantage of the darkness and use Lilith's magic to carry out a ferocious attack on Alam Shei.

Even if they don't succeed, they can use the magician's long range to entangle them, and at that time, the heavy darkness of the night will be their best cover, even if the situation is critical, they can retreat.

But if Lilith is **** now, then Alam Xie will definitely be 100,000 wary of this magician, and they will lose the most chance of turning the tables.

Bill was a very clever pirate, and he quickly guessed what Nia was up to, and he looked at her with a look of shock, as if he were looking at someone he didn't know.

All he wanted was to wait here for Tang Jie's return, but Konya was much farther away than him.

Since when did she become a person who still longs for victory even in the midst of a suffocating desperate situation?

Like their captain, like the man who will always stand?

Bill swallowed and said no more.

No matter how long the artillery fire stopped, when Alcatraz no longer shook the ground, the artillery fire of Sisis's fleet began to thin out, and the pirates who had been dizzy and buzzing in their ears raised their heads, but they were shocked to see the warships in the distance beginning to slowly approach them.

Two battleships slowly sailed out of these ships, and the decks were filled with heavily armed soldiers.

"They're going to land!" Nya was startled, she looked back at Bill, "Do you have any cannons over there?"

Bill said bitterly: "When I came, I only transported three, and I can't transport them anymore!

Nia said loudly: "Better than me, I can't even transport a cannon here! You hurry back, even if there is only one cannon left, try to sink these two ships!"

Bill nodded solemnly and quickly left.

It would be a fool's dream to sink two ships with one gun, unless he could accurately hit the ammunition compartment in the hold or the mast of the battleship.

But no matter how difficult it was, he had to do it, because without sinking these two warships, the navy of the Sises could continue to transport soldiers to Alcatraz Island, and then drown them with a sea of men.

After watching Bill leave, Nia turned around and shouted loudly, "Assemble!Prepare for battle!!"
