Chapter 259: The Battlefield Observation Group is rescued
There are five warships of these villagers, all of which are small warships with a length of less than fifty meters, and the weapons such as artillery on them were dismantled when they were retired from the army, and they are now equipped with some cold weapons such as ballistas.
It can be seen that the villagers have made some modifications to their warships, some of which are equipped with more weapons on both sides of the middle of the hull in addition to the two ballistas at the bow and stern, three of which are equipped with small bed crossbows, and two are equipped with slapsticks, which are like oversized fly swatters, which can slap and kill the enemy when they try to board the ship, and you can see how terrible the lethality of this thing is from the extremely sharp blades installed under those slapsticks. Not to mention the enemy soldiers, I'm afraid that even if it is an enemy warship, if it is slapped a few times, it will be shot out of a lot of holes in the top of the hull.
In addition to the warships, those villagers also brought most of the undead warriors in the village, and there were more than a dozen on each boat, plus the young and strong villagers in those villages, the number was about seventy or eighty, and the five battleships added up to nearly four hundred soldiers.
Compared to the strength of these villagers, the number of enemy troops at the foot of those mountains is even more, and the number of troops is more than 1,000 as Miao Changjun expected, but because those giant beast units were almost killed and injured before, there are not a few left.
With a large number of soldiers and horses, they were not afraid to look at the five wooden warships that were slowly approaching, and soon sent half of their troops to deal with the warships of those villagers, and the other half was responsible for monitoring the remnants of the soldiers on the hill, in case the other party took the opportunity to attack those villagers in front and back.
When the villagers saw the enemy approaching, they controlled the various ballistae on the ship and fired at the enemy soldiers.
Because it is not a firearm, these ballistas can be used normally even in this heavy rainy weather, but the accuracy has also been affected somewhat.
The three battleships with ballistae on both sides of the hull, each with a full twenty ballistas, after the hull is crossed, ten ballistas can be fired at the same time at the same time, and in a bang, a large number of ballistas are intertwined in the air into a rain of arrows.
Compared with the light arrows used by ordinary bows and crossbows, these giant ballista arrows as thick as the barrel of a gun were not much weakened by the heavy rain, and after hitting those enemy soldiers, they could easily pierce blood holes in these enemy troops, and some even penetrated the bodies of several enemy soldiers in a row before exhausting their kinetic energy.
Seeing that the firepower of the villagers' warships was so fierce, those enemy troops immediately dispersed, and some of them who were good at diving even plunged directly into the water, completely avoiding the possibility of continuing to be shot by the enemy with ballistas.
After dispersing, it was indeed much more difficult for those villagers to shoot them, but the most troublesome thing was the guys who sneaked in from the water, once these guys succeeded and boarded the battleship, these villagers, who were mostly only equipped with leather armor, could hardly be these strong enemy opponents.
Fortunately, most of these villagers are experienced fishermen, and even in the midst of heavy rain, they quickly passed through the fluctuations of the current and judged the location of the enemy troops sneaking in the water.
"Over there, slap them hard for me!"
With a loud roar, the two battleships equipped with the clapper quickly stepped forward, and then several villagers operated a clapper together, and then slammed down on the water below.
If it is in the middle of the sea, those enemy troops can still dodge these slapsticks filled with sharp blades by diving deeper into the water, but this is not the sea, but just some seaside land that has just been flooded by heavy rain, and the deepest place is only more than a meter of water, and there is no room for evasion at all.
So as those levers were slapped hard, the half-orcs and fierce beasts in the potential water were suddenly slapped into a blur of flesh and blood, and some unlucky ghosts were directly penetrated by those blades, and then as the levers were pulled up again, the whole body was inserted into the rods, dripping with blood, screaming and struggling, the scene was extremely miserable.
However, those villagers will not have a trace of sympathy for these guys, after all, these guys have not oppressed them in the past, and even some people's relatives have been used as food by some of these fierce beasts, so they will naturally not spare their hands in the face of these guys at this time.
I saw a few villagers and villagers leading the zombie pikemen with the super long guns of the phalanx, and poked at the enemy soldiers who were hanging on the sticks, and quickly poked these guys to death.
Others, holding steel forks with thick hemp ropes tied at the ends, stabbed the enemy soldiers who were still fluttering in the water, and most of them were cut by the blades on the slapsticks, and blood was flowing from the wounds, even if they wanted to continue to hide in the water.
As the sharp steel forks with barbs were thrown from the battleship by the fishermen, these unlucky eggs were soon pierced like fish, and then pulled onto the boat by the fishermen on the boat.
At the same time, on the three battleships in the rear, the ballistas also continued to shoot, and after the ballista on one side was shot, they turned the hull to let the ballista on the other side continue to shoot, always maintaining fire suppression, making it difficult for those enemy troops who did not dive into the water to get close, because after getting close to a certain extent, the giant crossbow bolts fired by the ballista will become more and more dense, and it is difficult to dodge, and the simple bone armor on their bodies cannot stop the powerful giant crossbow arrows at all.
In short, this battle was very embarrassing, and those former half-orc soldiers of the Hanhai Empire who had taken refuge in the Blood Lion Empire felt that if they had a few warships, even if it was with the kind of wooden light warship on the other side, this battle should be over soon, but the key was that there were no warships on their side!
You must know that the Blood Lion Empire was not only defeated on land in the battle with the Blue Dragon Empire before, but also lost completely in the naval battle.
This is mainly because of the Blood Lion Emperor, after receiving a large number of Hanhai Empire warships, the Blood Lion Emperor felt a little floating, and felt that he could fight with the Blue Dragon Empire at sea.
As a result, he found out that he really thought too much, this is not an order of magnitude at all, and he can't fight!
After losing hundreds of warships in a row, the Blood Lion Emperor urgently transferred all the warships to the rear, and only then did some of the battleships be saved.
But this also led to the fact that for a while now, the battleships of the Blood Lion Empire were too late to be transferred, and they could only rely on those sailors of the former Hanhai Empire to fight with the fishermen of the Blue Dragon Empire who drove the warships.
But how could this flesh and blood body fight a battleship dozens of meters long! With the cooperation of five warships, the enemy forces that were diving close were quickly wiped out.
The fishermen then continued to approach the five warships, their ballistas firing from them, killing one enemy soldier after another in the water, and then picking them up and cutting off their heads when the ships were near the corpses.
But there were still some clever ghosts in there, and they actually thought of playing dead, and then when the warships drove up to them, and the fishermen leaned out to salvage their bodies, these guys jumped up and jumped onto the battleship at once.
But before the little clever ghosts could be pleased, they found that there were sheds on top of the battleship, and that the fishermen and skeleton musketeers armed with muskets were all hiding in the sheds.
When they saw these clever ghosts jumping up, the musketeers immediately fired a volley, and at that time, these little clever ghosts burst into bloody flowers, and died even more miserably than those companions.
And on the top of the mountain, Miao Changjun and others, who condescendingly took in all the battle conditions, applauded when they saw this scene, after all, these enemies had relied on the advantage of troops before, but they were beaten miserably! Now I am happy to see them deflated at the hands of a group of fishermen.
The rest of the enemy saw that they were invincible, so they simply paddled away, leaving only those companions who were still on the hill dumbfounded.
The fishermen, regardless of whether they were dumbfounded or not, saw that the other enemies had fled, so they drove their warships and continued to approach the hill, preparing to flank the enemy forces with their allies on the mountain.
Faced with this situation, those who remained on the hill and those who were still swimming jumped into the water and fled, while those who could not swim quickly rushed to the small boats they had come in, ready to slip away.
Unfortunately, before they could get the boat moving, the fishermen's warships were killed.
Although it is said to be a small warship, it is still a lot larger than the small boats of the soldiers of the Blood Lion Empire, and the most important thing is that the weapons such as ballistas and slapsticks are complete, and the combat effectiveness is not comparable to those small ships at all.
Therefore, in desperation, the more than 200 enemy troops who had no time to flee could only abandon their weapons and surrender one by one.
"Phew! A bunch of cowards surrendered so quickly! A fisherman with blood on his face leaned out of the battleship and spat disdainfully at the enemy soldiers who had discarded their weapons and raised their hands in surrender.
This spit landed on one of the enemy soldiers, but he didn't dare to complain, after all, he didn't want to be used as a fish by these fishermen like those comrades who had already hung up.
At the same time, these soldiers of the former Hanhai Empire also couldn't understand how these untouchables, who were as docile as sheep before, had become so fierce now?
And Miao Changjun and the others on the top of the small hill saw that the remaining enemies were surrendering and fleeing, so they immediately came down from the top of the mountain with those wounded, after all, many of those wounded were extremely seriously injured, and they had to undergo surgery as soon as possible, otherwise if they continued to delay, they would die.
The fishermen, seeing the plight of the friendly soldiers on the hill and knowing the urgency of the matter, immediately helped to lift the wounded onto the battleship, and then hurried to the large cities with hospitals in the rear.
