Chapter 120: Stalemate
The pirates, Dadas, and Sisis officers and soldiers who fought to the death on Alcatraz did not know how much impact this tragic hand-to-hand battle on the beach would have on the pattern of the sea and the world, and they did not know what kind of impact a pirate named Bill had on the cliffs of Alcatraz Island with four cannons on this hand-to-hand combat.
Bill's first shot missed, and the cannonballs fired by this cannon went over the masts of both ships and then fell on the opposite cliff.
"Hell, there's still a lot of gunpowder!" Bill slammed the ground and said hatefully, "Quick, prepare for the next shelling, lower the muzzle of the cannon by five degrees, and add one less gunpowder this time!"
The first bombardment was empty, which added a little more pressure to the already heavy pressure of the pirates on the western cliff, and they hurriedly filled the barrels with gunpowder, and while preparing for the next round of shelling, they prayed to the gods to protect them, so that the Sicisian navy would not soon pour artillery fire on their heads.
But in fact, although Bill's first artillery bombardment was empty, this time the empty artillery also played a significant role.
When the pirates and Dadans on the rocky beach heard the sound of shelling coming from the cliffs of Alcatraz Island, they were immediately refreshed, and Nia took the opportunity to shout, "This is our cannon!"
The morale of the pirates was greatly boosted, and the long knives in their hands slashed at the soldiers even harder, and the Dadas screamed and stabbed the Sisis seamen to death one by one with sharp wooden spears.
The two battleships in the Gulf of Sisis were even more stunned.
They didn't expect that the cliffs on both sides of this island would still have artillery batteries after withstanding such fierce artillery fire!
The two Sisian captains who were shocked certainly knew that in this situation, if there were artillery attacking them on the cliff, they would have no room to fight back, and the Sisian coastal guard would not dare to support them with artillery for fear of accidentally injuring them.
The two captains made the same choice, turned around, left this hellish place, and let the remaining batteries of the fleet behind them clear the remaining batteries!
But just as they were about to turn the ship's bow, Bill's second bombardment came.
This time, Bill took aim at the ship furthest away from them, but broke the mainmast of the ship closest to them with a single shot.
Because the ship was slowly turning around, the fallen mainmast smashed sideways on the side of a battleship next to it due to the inertia caused by the turn.
The long, thick sail rope suddenly mingled with the wooden railing on the side of the ship, and the heavy mast dragged the battleship, which had suffered from the pond fish, with a creaking sound of wood, and the hull of the ship tilted severely.
The two battleships that wanted to escape were very embarrassed and entangled together, some of the sailors on the battleship who were knocked down on the mainmast were hit by the mast and struggled in pain on the deck, and some of the sailors were scrambled to rescue them from under the mainmast;
But the sail rope of this main mast is as thick as an arm, and it is the strongest hemp rope, and it has experienced countless winds and rains, and it is so hard and strong that it is terrifying, how can it be cut in a moment and a half?
For a moment, the sound of screams, struggles, shouts, and axes were mixed, and the two ships were in chaos.
Immediately after, Bill's third shot came again.
This cannon Bill was originally aimed at the belly of the battleship whose mainmast had been blown off, and he wanted to blow up the belly of the ship, but the cannon bombarded the ship's bridge commander's platform.
The poor captain of this battleship was loudly commanding his men to get out of the predicament in front of him, but unexpectedly, this flying cannon actually landed on his head!
The bridge was suddenly blown to shreds, and some of the generals and soldiers who were blown up around were not dead, and when they looked up, they saw that the captain who was still alive just now had turned into a mess of flesh and blood, and even the first mate next to him was unlucky and fell in a pool of blood.
Bill knocked out the ship's chain of command with a single shot, adding to the already chaotic situation.
The battleship, whose main mast had been broken, lost its chain of command, like a man who had lost his central nervous system, and was paralyzed in place for a short time, the sailors were panicked and did not know what to do, and some officers were arguing loudly about whether to return fire or evacuate.
Another battleship, the "Ocean", was quite close to them, and they could see exactly what was happening with this battleship.
The sailors of the "Great Ocean" were more and more desperate to chop the sail lines on the side of the ship, and the captain of the "Great Ocean" was frightened, he did not want a shell to fall on his head.
The captain frantically urged his men to turn the bow of the ship desperately, despite the drag of the sails approaching.
"Captain Bill, that ship is going to run!" said one of the pirates, pointing to the Ocean.
"Hmph, I can't run!" Bill gritted his teeth, squinted his eyes and observed, and said quickly, "The muzzle of the cannon is raised three degrees, and the gunpowder is poured into two and seven." ”
With a bang, the cannon roared again.
This time, Bill finally got it right.
If it weren't for the condescending, if it wasn't for the proximity, Bill might not have been able to hit this gun, because this kind of shelling was measured by the gunner's eyes and then manipulated by his own experience.
But despite this, four cannons can really hit one shot, and Bill is notoriously accurate in the group of pirates like Nia, and the accuracy of artillery shelling at sea is generally poor, which can be seen.
The belly of the "Great Ocean" was torn open, and the sea water poured into it frantically, and the hull began to take a serious draft, slowly sinking.
While Bill was shelling the battleship, Nia also led the pirates and Dadans to drive the demoralized Sisis back to sea.
The soldiers, dressed in beautiful uniforms, threw their weapons aside, and swam desperately towards their warship, followed by a group of ragged pirates and natives of the Southern Continent.
"Guys, catch up and scuttle their ships!" Nya shouted as she took the lead and swam towards the two ships with her long knife in her mouth.
These pirates are extremely good at water, and their personalities are fierce and brave, and at this time they are murderous, and immediately chase after Nia murderously. Some of the black slaves of the Dada tribe were not good at water, so they stood on the shore, and some of them were good at water, and they followed with wooden spears in their mouths.
Pity the Great Ocean was so beaten that the hull of the ship slowly sank, and the hull was so badly tilted that some of the sailors on deck could not stand on their feet, and fell into the sea, and the sailors who favored the friendship of the robe threw down the rope in an attempt to save them.
But before the sailors who had fallen into the sea could climb up, they were frightened by the pirates who were chasing after them so quickly that their calves cramped, and they were cleaved in the sea one by one, and the blue water was dyed red.
The pirates quickly climbed up the rope they had put on and had thrown on, and with a "hea-hee" whistling sound, they rampage across the deck, killing them.
After Nia climbed aboard the Ocean, she commanded the pirates and Dadas around her and shouted at the battleship next to it, which had lost its commander, "Leave it alone, board that ship!"
The pirates turned their heads suddenly, some with the help of the hooks they had put on, and some simply stepped on the fallen mainmast and galloped over.
The remaining sailors of the "Great Ocean" watched these hideous-looking pirates kill them, and one by one they were so frightened that they didn't even have the heart to resist, and jumped into the sea like dumplings.
As soon as Nia landed on the ship through the hook, she loudly commanded William beside her, and said, "William, you go to the cabin, find the gunpowder, and blow up and sink the ship!"
William's gauze around his stomach was already stained red, and he didn't know whether it was the blood of the enemy or the blood from his wounds, he grinned, and was about to turn his head and get into the cabin, but he saw a sudden flash of red light on the far Sithian naval front.
William's heart shook violently, and he quickly turned around and shouted, "Shelling! Jump ship!!"
With that, he grabbed Nia and jumped into the sea.
The shelling of the Sisian Navy began again, and this time their shelling was a bit like a strong man breaking his wrist.
Holding up his monoculars, Alam Shei watched as countless columns of smoke and water rose on the sea and beach of Sisis, and the two battleships that sailed into the western beach of Alcatraz turned into two fireballs under artillery fire.
His face sank like water, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and he was in a very bad mood.
In his opinion, the only way to do this was to send his men to cut off the heads of all the pirates on Alcatraz Island.
Now that Alcatraz Beach is sealed, he can rely on the powerful force of the fleet to block Alcatraz's supplies and trap this group of people alive on the island.
But in this way, Alamsey could not get the pleasure of victory from it, and only blood could wash away the shame and anger in his heart.
"These damn pirates...... "Alamsie said through gritted teeth.
"Your Excellency, ......Commander," the first mate next to him whispered, "there are still our warships and soldiers there!"
Alam Shei didn't look at him, but just shoved the monocular in his hand into his hand and said coldly: "They're finished!"
As Alamsey said, these two warships had already fallen into the hands of Alamsei before the shelling began, and even if Alamsey himself had not sunk them, these pirates would definitely have found a way to sink these two warships.
So Alamshei preemptively launched an artillery bombardment and carried out a round of bloody and brutal artillery fire on these pirates who climbed onto the battleship!
The damage inflicted on the pirates and Dadais by this shelling was much worse than the previous ones.
As soon as Nia and the others jumped into the sea, the cannon roared over.
Some pirates who didn't have time to jump into the sea were suddenly overwhelmed by the cannon fire, and their bodies were like the planks of the blown up ships, flesh and blood flew sideways, and even if some pirates and Dadas jumped into the sea, some were also hit by the shells, and suddenly they turned into a thick blood mist, which slowly spread out in the sea.
The ferocious shelling of the pirates and Dadas, who had jumped into the sea, did not dare to raise their heads, and after taking a deep breath, they desperately swam to the water, and then to the bottom of the sea.
Even if they swam to the shore, they did not dare to go ashore under such intensive artillery fire, but only took advantage of the cover of the rocks to avoid the artillery fire.
Nia looked back at the boiling sea behind her that had been repeatedly slapped by cannonballs, and the two battleships rolled in the cannon fire and slowly sank into the sea, because of the huge hull, although the bottom of the ship sank into the sea, there was still a part of the sea exposed, like a barrier.
Although the pirates, led by Nia, managed to sink the two warships, so that the soldiers of the Sithic Navy could no longer launch a beachfront landing on the warships, they also paid a heavy price.
Nearly half of the pirates were killed or wounded, and most of the rest were wounded, and the Dadas, although they entered the battle late, also killed more than forty people.
If the Sithic Navy can come up with another wave of echelon hand-to-hand combat, the pirates and Dadans of Alcatraz will collapse!
Fortunately, the current situation is finally under control!
Both Nia and Alamsie frowned, dissatisfied with the situation in front of them, Nia was distressed that her men had lost too much, and Alamsey was unwilling to be caught in a siege battle like this.
Both of them looked at each other's warships and islands from afar, their eyes unwillingly angry, and they secretly thought about their next plans.
Nia turned back to William who leaned over and said, "When the shelling is over, bring out good wine and meat, let the friends have a full meal, and treat them! These Sisians will not be able to come up in a short time!"
William nodded.
Nia continued hatefully, "In the evening, you, Lilith, and Bill will follow me, and we will board the ship and go out from the harbor on the south side, and beat them up to try to knock out Alamsey's flagship!"
Almost at the same time, Alamshe, who was at the flagship of the "Expedition", turned around and said to the first mate beside him: "Give the order to go down, let the sailors and soldiers be fed, and strengthen the vigilance at night and take turns on duty! These pirates should have three warships, but they don't know where they are hiding......
"Your Excellency, these pirates are very cunning, beware of their sneak attacks!" the first mate next to him continued in a deep voice.
"Sneak attack......" The corners of Alamsei's mouth outlined an arc, "I'm afraid they won't come!"
After speaking, he tilted his head and took a deep breath, as if he was sniffing the strong smell of gunpowder in the air: "Only when the blood of the pirates stains this sea area red, can we wash away the previous shame! Let them come!!"
......
The attack and defense of Alcatraz Island temporarily fell into a stalemate, the battle was very fierce at the beginning, the fighters of Alcatraz Island were reduced by nearly half, and the Sithian Navy was seriously damaged, they not only lost two warships, but also lost nearly 700 soldiers, and in the first day of shelling, they consumed nearly half of the ammunition base.
The battle was not without its fierceness.
But this battle at sea was nothing compared to a general battle between cavalry and magic legions under the Thor Mountains.
These iron knights who passed through the door of space gathered at the foot of the mountain, like a steel castle, silent and majestic.
Not a single horse of the 30,000 cavalry neighed, not a single soldier made the slightest superfluous movement, and the murderous aura condensed above their heads churned, and even the sky was overcast, what a terrible military might!
And the Pound Empire sent not only these 30,000 cavalry, but also 20,000 through the Space Gate, followed by hoplites and a small number of magicians and magicians.
After these killing machines passed through the space gate, they were not in a hurry to attack Mosanbik, but adjusted their formation unhurriedly, and the steel cavalry set up five arrow-shaped formations on the fairly flat ground, and at the top of the arrow tips of each small array was a cavalry leader in golden armor, like the sharpest arrow tips of arrows, and these five arrow small arrays were arranged into a large arrow array.
Behind the cavalry, the hoplites lined up in large square formations, armed with iron-roded spears, their spears standing like a forest, their sharp eyes shining straight through the thick armor, cold as steel machines.
The magicians at the end of the line chanted incantations aloud, and applied one after another high-level auxiliary magic, such as "Guardian Angel" and "Bloodthirsty War God", to the cavalry and hoplites, and for a while, the sky and the earth were filled with colorful streamers, and the brilliance of various auxiliary magics was tumbling.
Tang Jie hadn't even crossed the Sol Mountains before he could see the flowing brilliance in the sky, especially the release of the "Guardian Angel" auxiliary magic, and even a golden-armored god that could be seen by the naked eye descended from the sky.
This golden-armored god was holding a double-edged sword, and the snow-white feather wings on his back were flapping in the air, making a chilling sound, and his body was afraid to look at him directly.
This mortal god waved the long sword in his hand in the air, and suddenly the cloudy sky seemed to be torn out of a crack, and a golden holy light hit the Eagle Knights and the heavy infantry behind them.
For a while, the sky seemed to resound with the clear singing of countless people in unison, sacred and solemn, majestic and awe-inspiring.
With this short chanting sound, the huge wings of the mortal gods flapped a few times, emitting a few whirring vibrations, and then the figure slowly disappeared into the air.
"No wonder these greedy wolves dare to offend the great Mozambik, it turns out that the people of the Illuminati Cult are also involved!" said Fiona, who was lying on Tang Jie's back, whispering, the air flow of her words made Tang Jie's ears itch a little.
"What kind of magic was that, so magnificent and magical?" Tang Jie asked with his hand on Fiona's little buttocks, strapping her body on himself.
Fiona has been carried up by her little ass like this countless times along the way, and at first Fiona was still red-faced and screamed, and her young body twisted a few times on Tang Jie's back.
But after being slapped hard by Tang Jie, Fiona's face turned red and didn't move, and the number of times along the way slowly increased, and her little butt was touched more, so her face became thicker.
Fiona's body was carried by Tang Jie, and two sensitive points on her chest rubbed on his back, her heart fluttered, and a feeling in her heart felt very strange, her body twisted unconsciously, and said: "That is the guardian angel of the Cult of Light, which can allow magic blessings to greatly increase their strength and wound healing ability within a certain period of time." ”
Tang Jie carried Fiona on his back all the way, although the person on his back was petite, but he had dozens of pounds, and walked down over the mountains and mountains, Tang Jie was tired and sweaty, and Fiona twisted on his back like this, he immediately turned around and shouted: "Don't move, move yourself and go down!"
Fiona didn't dare to fight back, she was fed up with the pain of the blood blisters on her feet stepping on the ground, so she responded very obediently: "Oh!" Then, obediently lying on Tang Jie's back, her hands hooked his neck, motionless.
Tang Jie was sweating profusely at this time, and the two of them were tightly pressed together, it stands to reason that Fiona is so delicate and expensive, and a pampered magician should feel that the sweat stinks, but in fact, Fiona stuck to Tang Jie's broad back, and a thick manly spirit mixed with the smell of sweat only smoked her all over her body, and her hands and feet were soft.
She didn't know how in her heart, but only one thought arose: this road should be a little longer.
When Tang Jie Khan finally climbed to the top of the mountain, he and Fiona on his back clearly saw all the situation at the foot of the mountain, and looked down from afar, the army of the Pound Empire was entrenched at the foot of the mountain, like a fierce and silent dragon, they were silent, as soon as the knight on horseback released the reins, this army immediately turned into a terrible storm, drowning and destroying all obstacles in front of them.
In the distance of them, another force was slowly pulling over.
This army looked from afar, dressed in a red body, supplemented by white **** law stripes inlaid magic heavy armor, they were not holding spiral scimitars like the magic guards of Mosanbik, but holding a giant shield one person high, and a huge two-handed giant sword in the other.
These people were far fewer in number than the cavalry legion opposite, but every time these people stepped together, the earth trembled, especially when they began to stand still far away from the Eagle Knights, and as soon as their steps stopped, the whole procession like red waves suddenly "boomed" and solidified into a red reef.
The team of more than 1,000 people is amazing, and there are tens of thousands of people!
The soldiers wore full-covered helmets with cross-vents on their heads, and their eyes were cold and sharp behind the vents, as if they were longing for the coming battle, as if they were longing for the blood that was about to rush around like a torrent.
The magic legion lined up in four phalanxes was like a steel defense line under Mozambique City, they were as immobile as a mountain, and from a distance they gave Tang Jie a feeling: even the most ferocious tsunami in the world could not shake them by half a point!
They are the rocks that hit the water, and they are the mainstays that no one can shake!
"Is this the mighty magic legion?". Tang Jie looked at the two armies facing each other at the foot of the mountain and muttered.
