Chapter 85: Infiltration
Seeing this heavily armed fleet slowly approaching, the Craig soldiers quickly became like a great enemy.
The artillery of this fleet would pose a great threat to them.
Without much hesitation, Sergeant Craig, who was defending the city, quickly ordered to open fire.
Fortified crossbows and catapults on fortresses and water walls, ship crossbows on fleets, and even artillery.
Boom –
Phew-
Under the sound of screaming, dozens of stout crossbow arrows rose into the air, scattering them like a rain of knives on the players and troops on the deck, penetrating the flesh and nailing them to the deck, blood flowing, and the skull-sized stones smashed the hull of the ship into holes one by one, breaking the mast, and the solid cannonball ballistic trajectory shot straight into the hull, and the sea water poured in.
In an instant, the player's fleet erupted in wailing, and the player's eyes turned red.
When they plundered the ships before, they also captured a lot of ship crossbows and crossbow arrows, which were used to fight back.
The player's counterattack also killed and injured a lot of Craig soldiers, but due to the height of the water village and the elevation angle of the crossbow machine, most of the crossbow bolts were nailed to the water wall, and the killing effect was not good.
Because Ji Chen had made the Crescent Moon retreat some distance at the beginning, he was not damaged in this wave of attacks.
As soon as the battle began, it was already at its climax.
Player classes and Krig soldiers die every moment, and a ship sinks every few minutes.
Just when the player and the Craig soldiers are in the middle of a fight.
The warships of the Bauhinia Alliance were already approaching, and more than a dozen warships loaded with guns turned their bows and turned one side of the ship in the direction of the water village.
The muzzle planks were removed, and the swarthy barrels stretched out, and after a short delay, flames burst out.
Knock –
Solid cannonballs frantically hit the wooden walls of the water village, smashing out large holes and even penetrating the walls and shooting inside, killing many soldiers.
Under such a frenzied blow, the walls were quickly smashed into cracks, cracked like arid land, covered with cobweb-like cracks.
Ji Chen looked at this scene, his eyes were a little fiery.
What is the calculation of the crossbow machine, or the artillery!
After that, you have to fish for a few guns to go back, and it is a good choice to build a fort in the territory or install it on a ship.
Boom –
With a loud cracking sound, one of the walls of the water village was broken and collapsed with a bang, and the soldiers and city defense equipment on it fell into the water like dumplings.
When the smoke cleared, a huge gap was revealed.
Seeing this, the players let out a burst of cheers.
Immediately drove the ship towards the gap, braving the fire of crossbow bolts and stones, and landed at the pier.
Hundreds of Craig soldiers rushed over with fanatical expressions, fighting the player.
At first, they can also rely on the rank advantage to firmly suppress the player's class.
But soon.
As more and more player classes landed, a single Craig soldier had to deal with at least ten classes, outnumbered, demoralized, and gradually losing control of the docks.
Having lost their defensive advantage, the Craig soldiers are gradually unable to stop the menacing players.
Under the command of several non-commissioned officers, the troops retreated like a mountain of defeat and ran towards the fortress in the distance.
The class successfully landed, and under the leadership of the player, it pursued the remnants of the defeated army.
The Bauhinia Alliance ships also anchored, and groups of heavily armed Alliance soldiers landed from the deck.
Ji Chen took a look at the panels of these alliance soldiers by the way.
【Bauhinia Alliance Warriors】
[Race]: Human
[Rank]: 9 stars of the second order
...
The rank is slightly higher than that of the Craig Warrior, but the difference in strength is very limited.
With their own strength alone, even if they can break through the water village, they will have to pay a great price if they want to take the landing port here.
The so-called unfavorable is not early.
This is also the reason why the Bauhinia Alliance is willing to let players in and get a piece of the pie.
It seems that there are already many players with their armies, marching towards the city under the big golden tree.
Ji Chen didn't want to fall too far behind.
After instructing Sparrow to take the pirates to watch the Crescent, he landed successfully with his own army and marched away.
Separated from the city by a field of land, in the midst of ordinary houses, many residents watched in horror as their invincible Craig soldiers were defeated and hunted down by a horde of strangely shaped troops.
The player doesn't have time to pay attention to these residents, and only has Craig soldiers in their eyes.
It fully demonstrates the spirit of beating water dogs.
And after Ji Chen left the water village, he found a small waterway leading to the holy city.
He had a flash of inspiration.
Dive all classes into the waterways.
Secretly, he wields the power of the tides.
A stream of water appeared behind them, pushing them forward quickly.
The speed of swimming is several times faster.
By the time many players had only half the way, they had reached the moat at the foot of the walls of the Holy City.
Due to the potential for water, the Craig soldiers on the walls did not notice them, and instead focused on the attacking players.
In the moat.
Ji Chen floated comfortably in the water, thinking about how to enter the city.
The holy city is built on the mountain, the foot of the mountain is surrounded by a circle of tall city walls, arrow towers, crossbow machines and other city defense facilities are more dense, and the defense power is higher than the water village I don't know how many grades.
What's more, the gunboats of the Bauhinia Alliance can't drive here, and they can't blast through the city walls with artillery.
This increases the difficulty of the siege by several notches.
At this time, the shallow sea fishmen scattered around in the water suddenly came back with a message.
They found a sewer opening!
Ji Chen's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked the fishman to lead the way to check.
Side walls, three or four meters below the surface of the water.
A rectangular sewer four or five meters wide is revealed.
An iron fence blocked the entrance, with only ten centimeters in between.
To enter the city from here, you must first break through this iron fence.
Ji Chen knocked lightly.
There was a slight muffled voice.
Well, the hardness of this iron gate is far less than that of the water village.
Maybe be able to cut it open by force...
At this thought, he secretly manipulated the power of the tides.
With the blessing of mana, the weak and formless water gradually formed more than a dozen tangible and tough water saws.
Begin a rhythmic back and forth tug of war on the iron fence.
Under the power of the tides, a water saw is ten times sharper than a metal saw, and even steel can cut through it.
The sewer iron fence was quickly cut through dozens of pieces, revealing an entrance that could be accessed by any Naga warrior.
There was no delay.
Ji Chen motioned for the shallow sea fishmen to enter and take the lead in exploring the way, and the rest followed.
After more than 100 meters of walking through the dim sewers, the all-seeing map was already full of red dots representing Craig's soldiers, densely scattered all around.
Little did they know that in the sewers beneath their feet, a group of intruders was sneaking in.
