Chapter 178: Retreat to the Academy

Do you want to call the dragon again? Then take everyone to fly up and run" Ray watched Lorraine shout, and then said that, the two big eyes of excitement burst into starlight.

Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard this. Everyone is here desperately resisting, and it is in danger. But he was carefree and wanted to find a dragon to fly and play.

Even Jack, who has always been heart-stopping and proud of having a dead face, can't help but itch his fingers with hatred, and wants to knock this ruffian who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Catherine immediately raised her hand and knocked it skillfully.

Unexpectedly, Leo had already prepared, and he shrank his neck like lightning and rushed to the side. Let Catherine knock a hole. She almost flashed her wrist, and she let out a low cry of pain.

Leo turned his head, then bared his white teeth, scratched his eyelids, made a grimace, and said triumphantly, "I didn't fight"

Aunt Cather's seven orifices immediately smoked.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes. Ling smiled: "Have you grown a breath?"

As he spoke, he pounced.

Leo was startled, hugged his head, turned around and ran.

Lorraine finished another set of crossbow arrows at this time, and was anxiously waiting for the assistant next to him to load the crossbow arrows. He glanced at the two of them and said, "Don't make trouble."

That's it. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he hurriedly raised his head, only to see three warships on the opposite lake break away from the formation and rush into the waterway of the port together.

They galloped into range in full shape, then slowly turned the bow of the ship. In an extremely dangerous manner, he aimed the side of the ship at the battery.

Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned. I secretly said in my heart: Their commander's head was caught in the door, isn't this a target?

Immediately afterwards, I understood, and I couldn't help but be terrified.

He shouted: "The enemy is hidden, hurry up and hide"

As he spoke, he jumped off the ballista.

He saw that everyone was still at a loss, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Mechanical Ye Danlin has not fought for thousands of years. These people have never been on the battlefield, so they don't know how to deal with it.

He shoved the loader next to him very roughly, and then kicked him under the stone railing.

The crowd watched his movements. couldn't help but be stunned, I don't know what Lorraine is crazy about.

Seeing that Catherine did not chase after her, Leo turned around and saw Lorraine's movements, and couldn't help blinking his big black and white eyes, and immediately came to his senses, and shouted, "The enemy is about to release arrows." Rain of arrows, arrows dodge. Hide"

As he spoke, he rolled his body and got into the dead corner of the wall, and picked up a shield halfway through and put it on his body. Then he lay on the ground, holding his head in his hands and motionless.

These near-perfect tactical movements, which were done like a cloud, fully showed how sophisticated his previous military education was.

Lorraine watched him act like a veteran for years, and finally understood why Catherine and the others were so relieved to let him run here to mess around.

A guy like him who knows the battlefield situation and can react correctly right away is different from a recruit, and it is difficult to die on the battlefield if he doesn't have a special back.

At the same time, I also wondered in my heart, where did he learn these skills?

At this time, the rest of the people also reacted, and there was a great chaos immediately.

They followed Leo's example, grabbed their shields, curled up their bodies under the corners, and hid.

Although Leo was usually not welcomed, and was often beaten and scolded by the women, at this time, one of them grabbed a shield, ran over, and firmly protected him like a hen guarding her cubs.

At this moment, a loud cry characteristic of a herald came from the lake:

With that command, countless black dots flew up from the three warships, flew into the air, and rose to the highest point. To the naked eye, it seemed to pause, and then turned into a dark cloud that flew quickly towards this direction.

Eventually, the carefully crafted triangular arrows tore through the air, and a sharp whistling sound fell towards the fort.

As soon as Lorraine had taken refuge in the net, he saw a figure rise from his side.

With a look of determination in her eyes, Schillea chanted something loudly, and then raised her hands high. I want to stop those arrows by myself.

When Lorraine saw the pretty and slender figure, she was immediately frightened. She vomited blood, already tired from the attack just now. Now you have to hold on to it again.

You know, those military arrows are not more than usual, they are all extremely sharp, and they can wear heavy armor within fifty steps. Even if she blocks one or two. But ten thousand arrows will inevitably tear her barrier apart.

Not only that, but there were ballistas on the battleship opposite. As long as a shot comes down, no barrier will work.

He couldn't help but roar. At the same time, without thinking, B bounced up from the ground and flew over. In the midst of Sylmelia's loud screams, she was thrown to the ground. Then he pulled her all the way to roll all the way to the dead end of the wall.

On the way he tumbled. Dozens of arrows broke through the air, and narrowly passed by the two of them, and the sound of "aggressive" was nailed to the surface of the boulder.

The thick arrows fired from the ballistae on the battleships also whistled over their heads. Far behind, out of the "boom, the ground with a loud bang."

Immediately after, several violent explosions rang in everyone's ears.

In this way, the warships of the Almohads Empire told everyone that it was not only the crossbow arrows of the Maple Leaf Danlin Academy that were equipped with expensive burst crystals.

In the midst of that violent explosion. The turret beneath him began to shake again.

In the midst of a busy schedule. Lorraine had a good time to calculate, and at least three ballistas had accurately hit the batteries beneath him.

That's what he thought. I felt my body move, looked down, and saw that Sylmechia was still struggling to stand up, and immediately became furious, raised his hand and slapped it, and scolded angrily: "You are crazy." Be honest."

Schille's body stiffened, and a complicated look shot out of her eyes. He looked at Lorraine in a daze, and then softened weakly.

At this time, billowing black smoke rose and enveloped the fort, and the confused people couldn't open their eyes, and only the sound of a small brush could be heard in their ears. I couldn't tell which ones were the sound of falling rubble falling on the stone slabs. Which is the sound of powerful arrows nailing into the ground.

Everyone hid under the wall, and it felt like the rain of arrows was endless

It's like a second, and it's like a century.

When all the sounds stopped, there was silence for the next week.

Only then did everyone slowly open their eyes, and they saw the scene around them through the smoke of gunpowder, and immediately burst into shape

Frightened.

I saw that the surroundings around me seemed to be overgrown with weeds, and the walls and ground were "densely covered with arrows." Most of those arrows were nailed diagonally to the ground, which shows how powerful and lethal they were.

The ground was also covered with stone debris blown away by ballistas, and the pieces were almost the size of fists."

Particularly frightening, a long arrow was nailed to the crossbow bolt placed next to the gun emplacement, less than half an inch away from the burst crystal on it.

If the arrow had come a little closer, it had hit the crystal. caused a series of explosions, and none of the people present were able to run.

Lorraine let out a long sigh and reached out to pull the arrow down. Thrown aside. Then he ventured out and saw that the soldiers on the ships were busy drawing their bows and arrows, and the ballista gunners at the bow and stern of the ships were also running around, racing against time to reload their ammunition.

He turned his head to look at the half-loaded magazine on his ballista. He hesitated slightly, then jumped up.

He had just stood up when he saw that one of the people beside him had jumped up and ran quickly to the position of the ballista. Press the magazine down hard.

Lorraine glanced at the man, and saw that the red mark on the man's pretty face had not been erased, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Shirmel Melia took the wrong medicine today?

Although he thought so in his heart, he did not dare to slack off, and jumped into the gun position, slowly and laboriously turned the muzzle of the gun, and aimed at the battleship.

The soldiers on the battleship saw the ballista coming here, and immediately sped up.

The crossbowmen also panicked and mounted their arrows, and then tugged at the bowstring with all their might.

Both sides knew that the situation was in a hurry, and they were only fighting for a moment.

Whoever can aim at each other first, fire first. Whoever can interrupt the opponent's rhythm, defeat the opponent, and survive this round of attacks.

At this moment. Both sides had the feeling of sitting on a crater that would erupt in the next moment.

Finally, the ballista in Lorraine's hand paused, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation. After three arrows, move a scale slightly, pull the plate machine again, and then three arrows. Move again, arrow again.

Ten crossbow arrows from a magazine were fired nine times in a matter of seconds.

Since the battleships were all facing the batteries with their side sides in pursuit of maximum firepower, the net provided Lorraine with the best targets.

Under his precise control, the bolts flew out, and instead of heading straight for the enemy on board, they plunged headlong into the water, netted and hit the ship's waterline, and then exploded.

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

The explosion continued to sound, causing a splash to the sky. At the same time, the three battleships were also blown out of a terrifying hole.

A cry of horror immediately rang out from the battleship opposite.

Under panic. The officers shouted contradictory orders. But it made those soldiers even more confused. I can only run back and forth on the boat like a headless fly.

Lorraine looked indifferently at the other side as she slowly moved the ballista. Seeing which of the warships on the opposite side still needs to make up for another arrow, in the end, there is no need for this at all.

The three battleships could not maintain their balance because of a large amount of water on the sides, and they began to tilt one after another. The soldiers standing on the deck could not stand on their feet, and they all slipped down screaming.

When they fell into the water, there were countless white splashes, and for a moment the surface of the water rolled like boiling water.

Many soldiers did not have time to remove their armor at all, and after falling into the water, they never surfaced again under the burden of the heavy armor.

After more than ten seconds, the three battleships had completely turned on their sides, and then there was an explosion like a giant cannon in the hull, and then a column of water several feet high flew up.

Everyone was taken aback. looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Lorraine knew. That's because the deck couldn't withstand the pressure of the air, and as a result, it exploded with a characteristic sound like an explosion.

At this time, the three warships that had just flaunted their might had completely lost their vitality. Just leaning sideways like that. With its head down, the stern of the ship was raised high, and it slid diagonally towards the bottom of the lake.

When the last white splashes rolled over, the lake was calm again. Just if you look closely. Through the clear water, you can see that they are already lying on the rocks at the bottom of the lake, lying quietly, not moving.

Dozens of black spots emerged from the water with a head shake, and those who survived it did not look back. Just shouted loudly and swam in the direction of the fleet.

See this scene. The people on the battlefield were all silent. Only the crackling of the burning wood from the ships in the harbor.

Lorraine looked around and saw that everyone had all stood up and looked at each other.

He couldn't help but laugh bitterly, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but sighed in his heart: These rookies who have never been on the battlefield and don't know how to fart

He reached out and pulled Jake. said: "Let's go, take this opportunity, they didn't react, let's all withdraw quickly." What are you doing in a daze? Are you going to wait for them to come up so that you can be taken prisoner?"

Jack glanced at him. He said strangely: "Let's go? Why are we going? Aren't we fighting well? We should be nailed here to the death, keep the enemy out of the port, and reduce our losses as much as possible." ”

Lorraine couldn't help but grin. I secretly said in my heart: Just now, I was desperately dragging the enemy, but now I have just won a battle, so I want to keep the enemy out of the port. It's a miracle that this guy doesn't know the military to this extent, and he can still mix in such a high position.

In hindsight, this is understandable, Jack is not a military commander, but actually more of a military overseer. It's good to have a certain amount of military knowledge.

He said patiently: "Our task is to hold back the other party and prevent them from landing, so as to cover the withdrawal of the students from the academy." And the setting fire to the port was enough to delay their landing. The task has been completed, and there is no need to entangle with the other party at all. ”

He saw Jack. There were also a few other people with reluctant looks on their faces, sighed, and continued: "There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers on the opposite side of us, and it is impossible for us to complete this task with a dozen of us.

Just now, they were just careless about the enemy, and if they got serious, they would send people to contain them while sending a fleet to attack. We simply can't cope with it, and in the end we can only be caught. ”

At this moment, I heard a long horn sound from the battleship opposite.

That's the fleet commander on the opposite side came out.

He saw that although there were few people on this side, the resistance was so heroic and stubborn. In admiration, the heralds were ordered to greet them.

But alas. There are pickets, magic academies, and military academies, but none of them understand the news of the naval horn.

His actions of cherishing heroes and valuing heroes were completely flattering to the blind and wasted.

Jack looked up at the crowd, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded heavily before Lorraine almost lost patience and put his head up for a moment, and then shouted, "Let's all get out"

Everyone immediately sighed and agreed highly.

After all, this is the battlefield. Who knows what's going to happen in the next moment. The sooner you leave, the better. Although they are not afraid of death for the sake of honor. But it's better not to die, it's better not to die.

Lorraine and the others set up the fort again, raising the shield a little higher and peeking out a little from behind the wall. Put a few helmets or something, pretend to be someone, so that the other party does not dare to approach lightly.

Finally, he picked up the ballista again and fired it indiscriminately at the opposite side. Taking advantage of the splash and the chaos of the battleship on the opposite side, he led everyone to bend down, lowered his body as much as possible, and ran back quickly.

When they ran back into the woods on the shore, and were about to catch their breath, they saw the sound of the horn on the other side.

Several battleships fired arrows and rushed through the battery.

This time they learned a lot smarter, employing non-stop shooting. Although the density has been reduced, it has maintained its continuous firepower.

If everyone was still on the fort at this time, they would have been pressed and couldn't raise their heads.

Immediately after, dozens of magicians reappeared in the sky, although they were scared and did not dare to shrug closer, but they threw fireballs at the fort far away, and they exploded indiscriminately.

And at the same time. Several more warships took advantage of the opportunity to burrow into the harbor from the waterway. Ignoring the rest, they bombarded the burning ships in the harbor, smashing them to smithereens as much as they could. so that there is enough room for incoming ships to come out.

One of them landed at an empty berth.

After a few moments, the gangplank was lowered, and the soldiers of the brigade swarmed down from above. Commanded by the shouts and shouts of the officers, they divided into two teams, one of which was responsible for extinguishing the fire in the harbor. The other team, spear in hand, ran quickly along the plank road, and flanked the fort.

When everyone saw that these soldiers of the Almohad Empire were indeed as Luo Chong said, it was almost as if he was in command, and they couldn't help but look at him in admiration.

If it weren't for him, even if everyone was immortal now, they would have been held down by the Almohads Empire like a rabbit.

Lorraine hid behind a tree. I looked at the soldiers who looked like wolves. Then he said to the people, "All right, let's go." If you don't leave, you'll fall into their hands. ”

As he spoke, he led the crowd and didn't dare to take the avenue, but just walked around and around in the woods, heading in the direction of the academy.

As he walked, he estimated the number of people who had disembarked from the battleship, and then multiplied it slightly with the ships outside the port, and immediately came up with an approximate number, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, and secretly thought: Sixty or seventy thousand imperial elite soldiers, they are really willing to invest in this. It is estimated that there will be a fight in the next few days (to be continued)
