Waiting is always the most tormenting!

Finally, on the third day, the Wuzi battalion, which was on duty during the day, discovered the enemy's tracks, and hundreds of ships came from the sea. Li Song directly pumped the air conditioner, if there were 500 people per boat, this would be at least more than 50,000 people, 10,000 more than expected!

Not long after, Chen Zuyi and others came to the city wall and looked at the white sails in the distance. was also secretly surprised, and then couldn't help but feel proud in his chest! Xiaoyan can't always grow up without experiencing a few rains, and the Black Shark Army created by herself is the same, only after experiencing a few cruel battles, can you become a real iron army, a real elite! If it's a storm, then let it be more violent!!

"Blow the trumpet! Get ready for battle! ”

After the order, Chen Zuyi and Lin Xian sat down on the platform upstairs in the Water Walled City, there was a table between the two, there were teapots and teacups on the table, and the two took the cups and drank the tea. They're not trying to sing empty city plans. This kind of scene has long been commonplace for Lin Xian, and it is indeed as stable as an old dog! Chen Zuyi pretended to be a little bit, even if he pretended, it made Lin Xian admire. If ordinary people saw such a formation, they would have been so frightened that their legs were weak and their hands were shaking, and it was not uncommon for them to even pee their pants!

Where the two of them were sitting, the soldiers on the city walls on both sides could see it as soon as they turned their heads, which greatly encouraged the already timid soldiers. My boss drinks tea so leisurely, and no matter how many people come to the other party, it is estimated that they will also deliver food! The more I looked at it, the more I felt that this was the case, and the soldiers who were a little flustered just now calmed down. One hundred and fifty-five pieces of artillery are also ready to fire.

The shore defense artillery is still an old-fashioned artillery, the angle cannot be adjusted, and the firing range is also dead, basically at a distance of two to two and a half miles. Due to the lack of accuracy of this cannon, the dispersion area of the shells is very large. If it is a fortified artillery, at a range of two and a half miles, the dispersion surface is basically about fifty paces.

This time the command was still Lin Xianlai, when the observer hand held a clairvoyant and reported that the enemy ship had sailed to seven miles. Lin Xian threw down the teacup in his hand, stood up in a hurry, and shouted to the heralds who had been prepared on both sides: "Listen to my order, the fortified artillery and the shore defense artillery are loaded with solid shells, and the range is adjusted to two thousand steps!" The new gun is loaded with solid shells, and the firing range is adjusted to 800 steps! Old-fashioned artillery loaded with shotshots! ”

Then the herald's roar was heard on the distant city wall, and for a moment all the gunners on the city wall were in motion.

"Pass my order: All soldiers in the city, except for artillery, go down the city wall to take refuge, and they are not allowed to run around without my order! Break the rules! ”

"Pass my order: adjust the distance of the stone thrower in the city to 800 paces and fire it with the new artillery!"

A series of orders were issued, and Lin Xian breathed a long sigh of relief. Everything that should be arranged is arranged, and the rest will be left to God!

The sound of the observer reporting every half mile continued, and when he reported for two and a half miles, Lin Xian decisively shouted, "Shore defense, attack artillery fire!" ”

As the heralds quickly spread throughout the city walls, the shore defense artillery and fortified artillery on the city walls opened fire one after another. At this time, the enemy's group of battleships had just reached two and a half miles, and was preparing to use the sideslip correction of the guns on both sides of the ship. As a result, dozens of shells were smashed at the head, and several troop carriers were smashed through huge shells falling from the sky, and they went directly to the bottom of the sea to feed Wang Ba!

For a while, the water was full of people asking for help, and their offensive formation was disrupted at once.

"Security artillery free shelling! Fortify the artillery calibrated at 1600 steps, ready! As soon as the launch was completed, Lin Xian immediately gave an order.

Ten shore defense guns sounded unevenly, and the effect was not too great, thanks to its wide dispersion, so there was no trouble of adjusting the firing range, and it was just ignited with gunpowder. It's basically a fool's errand.

Seeing that the opponent's fleet had passed through 2,000 paces and a distance, reaching 1,600 steps (that is, 2 miles), Lin Xian hurriedly ordered the attack artillery to fire again, and this time it sank a giant wave-class warship of the opponent, and hundreds of people on the water were calling for help, further disrupting the enemy's offensive formation.

"Adjust the firing distance of 800 paces of the fortified artillery and wait for the order together with the new artillery!"

"The security artillery has ceased fire, and all the artillery operators are ready for small stone throwers! Load the fire bombs! ”

Lin Xian's voice was a little hoarse, and he hadn't yelled so hard for a long time.

By the time the enemy's ships had reached eight hundred paces, the angle of attack had been adjusted, and all the battleships were already horizontally lined up, aiming their side guns at the walls. Battle flags waved, 10,000 cannons were launched, and a thick smoke of gunpowder flooded the fleet.

"New artillery and large catapult fire!" Lin Xian clenched his fists, the other party still had at least eighty ships, in addition to more than twenty troop carriers, there were at least fifty Storm and Giant Wave-class warships. Each ship has eight side-mounted guns according to the Storm class, and fifty ships have 400 guns. What is the concept of 400 artillery launches? It's not an exaggeration to say it's raining down!

The shells on both sides staggered in the air, whizzing towards their targets. The warships were tossed up and down on the sea, and the cannonballs they fired were naturally not accurate enough, most of them fell inside and outside the city walls, and there were only about 20 in the middle of the wall. It was these more than 20 shells that kept bouncing and causing more than 20 casualties.

The accuracy of the cannonballs fired from the city was much higher, and eighty percent of the stone-throwing machines and forty-five artillery pieces smashed on the warship. A two-inch iron pellet could not penetrate a Storm-class warship, but it would bounce on the deck, killing and wounding everywhere it passed, and it would cut a bloody path.

It's not so lucky to be hit by a storming artillery, the kinetic energy of a four-inch projectile is not as simple as the sum of two two-inch projectiles, as long as the warship hit by it, a big hole will immediately appear. If you are lucky, you will only break through the deck, and if you are unlucky, you will even break through the deck and the bottom of the ship, and you will sink instantly!

This round engaged each other, and the enemy sank three ships. Wait until the second round of engagements. The Black Shark Army suffered fifty casualties, all of which were artillery, and Lin Xian had to send two teams of non-commissioned soldiers to supplement the artillery team. The enemy was sunk by five ships. If this ratio continues, after dozens of shells are fired, it is estimated that the other party will almost sink.

Obviously, this is a situation that the other commander's commander does not want to see, and he began to adjust and accelerate the Qian forward rush again, preparing for the siege battle.

In the third round of artillery bombardment on the city, the enemy was hit by 20 ships and sank 3 more. The other party has adjusted the direction and accelerated to speed up beyond the city wall. And the ship built a right-angled triangular inclined ladder, on which a slab protruded. As long as the ship is close to the wall of the water wall, it can be connected to the city wall. It is similar to the function of the siege tower or siege rook on land, and it is indeed improved from these two ancient siege equipment. The name is very vivid, it is called the Water Siege Tower.

The pirates of the Four Holy Gang Alliance all stood on the deck excitedly, drawing their bows one by one and preparing for melee combat. They knew that they had rushed past the range of the artillery and were safe for the time being. The rest is a contest of bows and arrows. After three or four rounds, it will be time to attack the city wall, and the short blades will be connected.

When all the ships lined up and rushed to three hundred paces, the pirates of the Four Holy Gang had already let out a howl of victory, and began to slowly pull the bow string The tip of the arrow pointed diagonally forward and upward, and as long as it was more than a hundred steps, it would be able to release the charged arrow in his hand.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

Suddenly, the opposite Thor roared like a burst of cannons, and the most peculiar thing was that it was endless! Sometimes it's interrupted for a moment, and it's picked up quickly. The other party is crazy! Are there still small cannons on the walls? It's kind of incredible!

Before the Four Saints Gang pirates came back to their senses, they felt that an iron pill was smashed in front of them, just like raindrops in size and dense, and before they could put down the bow and arrow in their hands to cover it, a lot of blood holes were instantly punched out of their bodies, and some of them were also penetrated through the body, and then hit the comrades behind them. And the charged bow and arrow in his hand struck his companion who was hiding under the side of the ship in front of him. The companion who was hit by the arrow did not understand how an arrow could hit him in the back of the heart. Does the enemy have a marksman who can make an arrow bend? He was not the only one who died with doubts, because there were as many arrows that were missed as a cow's hair, more than Sanzi, and the devil knows that they all shot there!

Hundreds of old guns spit out hundreds of thousands of scatters, and the number of scatters flying in the air continues to increase until a certain equilibrium is reached, and the number is maintained at this number. Sanko continued to smash into the deck and hull of the other side like a goddess scattering flowers, and the sails and windows on the deck were like sieves. The pirates on the deck were no exception, and for a time they howled terribly. There are also some fireballs that smash into the ship, and they burn when they get on the ground, and they can't be extinguished!

With this blow, the Four Holy Gang killed 10,000 or 20,000 people, and six ships caught fire, including three troop carriers and three warships.

This round of continuous cannons. Because the other party had already rushed to the bottom of the city, he re-ascended to the deck and began to shoot arrows at the head of the city.

When the first round of artillery rang out, Lin Xian had already ordered the soldiers to climb the city wall, and while the artillery was covering, he had already drawn his bow and arrows and prepared.

The most brutal melee battle began, and the sound of arrows entering the body was endless, and the sound of miserable howls rang out one after another, on both sides. The opponent's water siege tower has also been erected on the city wall, and groups of enemy troops have rushed up the city wall. Their quality is obviously much better than that of the Four Holy Gang pirates, and their operations are based on squads. The weapons and armor are also very uniform in earthy yellow, which is the water army of Barcel and Archie.

The Black Shark Army at the head of the city threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, drew the spear in his hand, and began to form a town to meet the enemy. But no matter how many people the enemy came up, they couldn't expand the territory of the city by half a step, and all of them were picked up by the Black Shark Army to the city. Thus repelled more than a dozen waves of enemy attacks.

"Two go to the city, replace the next one!"

Lin Xian stood on the castle tower and gave orders in a hoarse voice. Chen Zuyi was still drinking tea all day. Miraculously, not a single shell hit, not even a single arrow! I can't help but say that he was lucky! The sequelae of drinking too much tea is that the stomach is a little swollen!

When the enemy rushed to the top of the city, he was about to rush out and fight hard, but was stopped by Lin Xian, in his words: even if you want to fight hard, you have to wait until the critical moment to boost morale! So Chen Zuyi could only drink tea obediently and wait for General Lin Xian's dispatch!
