Squeak, squeak, the sound of the machine is clearly ringing in the ears, the huge catapult arm is pulled to the ground, the tail end of the load is high on stilts, the principle of this one-arm catapult is actually very simple, it is the simplest lever, but simple does not mean that the power is poor.

There were six phalanxes, as many as twenty-four, three in front and three in front of each other, and a distance of twenty zhang from each other, so that a brigade of 100 people would be in charge of such a phalanx, and these six phalanxes would wait for a reinforced battalion.

In the distance, on top of the towering watchtowers of the camp, stood lookouts, large one-armed catapults that could cover up to eight miles, but deserved long-range firepower, and in the darkness of the night, the catapults had to rely on the lookouts.

The flag from the watchtower flipped back and forth in the hands of one of the standard-bearers, which was the signal to strike.

"Ignition!" The commander of each queue saw the waving flag, and immediately shouted loudly to the soldiers under his command, and the soldiers with torches had already heard the order, stepped forward, put the torches on the big stone, and with a bang, the stone contaminated with fire oil suddenly burned.

"Fire!" Echo the commands, and a soldier standing under the catapult swung a sharp axe and slashed at the rope buckle tied to the spoon.

The thick hemp rope was suddenly broken, and the huge throwing arm lost its last restraint, and suddenly it was raised high, and the rope spun rapidly along the rollers fixed to the ground until it reached the end, and the bucket spoon also reached the highest point, and the boulder in the bucket spoon was thrown out.

Twenty-four huge stones, with burning flames, like falling meteors, dragged a flaming tail and pierced the sky.

Launch, launch, among the hills, there are still vague echoes rippling, and the Hukou fortress group, which has consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, can there be only such a little power, accompanied by this first flame meteor, from both sides of the lakemouth waterway, from the woods, from the hills, from the shore of the lake, high and low, regardless of the front and back, at least four or five hundred catapults let out a roar.

The sky, which seems to be covered by this meteor shower, has not yet fallen, and it has already made people's hearts throb, and the pressure that makes people a little unable to breathe is whistling like a mountain and a tsunami.

Ah, a scream, the boulder has not yet fallen, a widow can no longer bear the pressure, some collapse screams, jump directly off the deck, poof, jumping into the lake does not let him survive, on the contrary, on the surface of the lake, the scorching heat released by the burning sea of fire can suffocate people in an instant.

Peng, dragging the long tail of the boulder meteor shower fell down with the momentum of ten thousand jun, directly through the canvas, leaving a huge hole, the scorching flame ignited the canvas, quickly spread around, accompanied by a loud noise, this is a huge ship with a length of twenty-six or seven zhang, with several decks.

And with the sound, the deck suddenly cracked, and countless pieces of wood became a killer bigger than the boulder, sweeping in all directions, the fine pieces of wood were sharper than the arrows, and at such a close distance, it was almost the price of blood if it was stained, and if it was swept away by those thick broken logs, the body was swept off the deck like a kite with a broken string, and fell into the lake full of flames.

This boulder can weigh tons enough, just by virtue of its own weight, it has the strength of ten thousand jun, not to mention falling from mid-air, Peng, Peng, Peng, Peng, almost all the way from the top deck to the bottom of the ship, the whole cabin is almost turned upside down, the huge hole, look shocking.

However, I have to say that this large naval war ship that can crisscross the sea is quite strong, even if it is so heavy, it has not been smashed and disintegrated, or even dew, although the hole is very palpitating, but the main structure of the hull is still intact.

But the boat can still drive, but the Japanese sailors on the ship are frightened, these sailors are not those Japanese soldiers, most of them are just fishermen before this, if it is a good fight, then there is naturally no problem, but on land one after another fiasco, those somewhat frustrated soldiers will be the sound of decadence infected, and at this time, in the face of this terrible stone rain, these surviving sailors suddenly hid in what they thought was the safest place, and said that they were willing to operate the boat.

The boat, losing control, did not stop, still moving forward by inertia, but the direction began to deviate, after all, not every boulder can fall on the boat, most of the falling rocks fell directly into the lake.

These boulders that fall in the lake can hit a ten-zhang high column of water, and the waves set off are slapping on the ships passing on both sides, and if no one on the boat is in the right position, some deflections will naturally occur, and the consequence will be .......

Peng, the distance between the two naval warships was only ten or ten zhang after traveling one or two hundred meters, and finally came to an intimate contact, the two ships collided like this, and the speed suddenly decreased, and when the sky was rowing with meteor fire, slowing down and stagnation almost meant that they became targets, and the probability of being hit was greatly increased.

Sure enough, the two ships had not collided for three or five minutes, and finally a burning boulder patronized the one on the left, and the huge impact force suddenly made the warship that had almost stopped tremble slightly, and then carried an unstoppable domineering and drilled directly into the cabin, but because the hull of this ship was slightly off an angle, the boulder actually broke through the side deck directly and fell into the lake.

Inoue Shunji's face can no longer be described in words, although he has also listened to some information about this, but Inoue Shunji has always thought that it was the other party's excuse for failure, the result of exaggerated results, but when he experienced it himself, Inoue Shunji knew how wrong he was.

In the sky, the roaring and falling boulders crossed the ears, stirring up columns of water, rolling up countless splashes and slapping the hull of the ship, and the dozens of warships that started to shoot past this short boulder meteor shower, at least a few of them had begun to sink, and the rest were more or less hit hard, and the sailors in charge of the ship suffered a lot of losses.

And this is still a few miles away from the Hukou waterway that escaped from here, and he can't help but start to shake a little, but after that moment of wavering, Inoue Shunji has strengthened his thoughts, he can't lose, he can't lose here, he definitely can't lose here.

With the unwilling roar of Inoue Shunji, the sea beast warship that had replaced the vanguard fleet became the main force of the charge, and the thousand-oarled octopus warship with countless huge tentacles poking out on both sides of the ship was the first to counterattack, this giant octopus that inhabited this sea ship occupied most of the hull cabin, and there were only a few onmyoji who were responsible for controlling here, and the ninja attendants who protected and served these onmyoji.

The Onmyoji controls the giant octopus through the soul brand, and the giant octopus tentacles roll up the boulder cannonballs in the cabin and throw them towards the sparkling land, which is no less than the range and power of the catapults.

And this kind of thousand-oared octopus warship not only does not rely on the wind to move quickly, those huge tentacles can not only throw boulder attacks, but also have strong defensive capabilities, and the falling boulders have not yet approached the hull, they will be pushed away by the raised octopus tentacles, or simply hard to pick up.

The sea beast warship is worthy of the main warship on the sea, one can be worth ten ordinary sea warships, each sea beast warship has its own special ability, the multi-tentacle of the octopus warship, can attack and defend, and can also travel quickly, the King Kong tortoiseshell warship, the protection ability is super strong, and the King Kong giant ape on the deck of the ship is also the main force of attack on the sea.

Under the counterattack of these sea beast warships, the camps on the two peninsulas were also attacked one after another, but in the hurry of starting from Yangzhou, these sea beast warships were not replenished with enough boulder shells at all, and there were almost a few rounds, and even once the firepower exceeded that of the sea beast warships on the shore.

The catapult is very ferocious, but the loading is very laborious, even if a catapult has more than 20 strong men to operate, it is still a rather labor-intensive and time-consuming work, even if it is trained, it will take three minutes to complete the towing and throwing arm, put in the boulder, and then launch this procedure, in comparison, the sea beast warship has a clear advantage in this regard.

However, it is obvious that this advantage was not fully developed before the preparation, and after several rounds of boulder attacks, as the Japanese ships continued to approach, not only the giant catapults were put into use, but even those small and medium-sized catapults also joined in, and the throwing was not a giant stone, but a precious oil clay pot.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of this thing, after all, as a naval army regiment, it has a lot of stock, and this time it has moved all the family funds, which is enough for the entire army to carry out two large-scale water battles.

But at this moment, these oil crockpots were thrown out by catapults without money, and there were thousands at a time, if the meteor shower just now was already a black and overwhelming piece, then this time, it was as if it was really raining, almost impermeable.

Countless clay pots even collided with each other in mid-air, shattering, black fire oil spilled in the air, and the phosphorus powder inside met the air and immediately burned, and then, I saw that in the sky, there was really a rain of flames, lighting up the entire sky.

Under such a dense rain of flames, not a single ship that entered its range was spared, and the rain of flames burned one fire point after another on the sails, and then spread rapidly, and on the deck of the ship, the Japanese soldiers and sailors let out a cry of pain.

The rain of flames fell on him, but he couldn't put it out, and the bursts of burning made people mad, and on the deck, it was like lighting countless candles, and there were flames burning everywhere.

Roar, the King Kong giant ape let out a roar, their feet were fixed on the warship, they couldn't avoid the rain of fire that fell from the sky, and the hair on their bodies was under the burning fire oil rain, bursts of black smoke, and that's not all, what was even more unfortunate was that a giant ape directly smashed a fire oil clay pot that smashed into it, and suddenly the fire oil from that crockpot was splashed on its body.

Then I saw that the flames engulfed it with a roar, and it became a fire ape, and under that kind of burning, even the thick-skinned King Kong giant ape let out a roar of pain.
