Fourth, the battle for Chishui Bay Chapter 170 Waste Dragon Canyon
In the desert, the sea dragon and Herbert stood on the bow of the ship, facing the stinging wind and sand, looking out at the desert in the distance. A towering sand dune jolted the hull, and the engine let out a shrill roar, as if to signal a bumpy road ahead.
Herbert was still reveling in the excitement of yesterday.
I remember when he picked up the powder keg and stuffed it into the cannon. It was the first time he had lit the fuse with his own hands, and the first time he had seen a cannon fired at such close range.
The guns on the battleship were bigger than his head, and the huge roar made his head buzz. A huge ball of flame erupted and flew towards the houses of Gil's village, easily leveling a hut to the ground.
The sea dragon patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Boy, you are very talented, why don't you come to my ship and be a top gunner!" ”
Herbert was so devastated by this destruction that he couldn't wait to reload the second and third shots...... Until the entire village of Kiel was shattered by artillery fire, and thousands of pieces of wood and wreckage were scattered on the ground.
Flames still linger on the charred walls, and smoke lingers from the dilapidated corrals. There were almost no living people in the village, and occasionally a few seriously injured people wailed in the ruins, and after a while the sound stopped.
Looking at the miserable appearance in front of him, Herbert's eyes showed joy and excitement. I can't wait to find another village and destroy it with impunity!
Seeing the darkness in the depths of his soul, the sea dragon laughed and said, "In two days, you will be able to rush to the 'Crown Mausoleum', and when the time comes, let the 'Ghost Knife' leave you a cannon and match you with two more hands." Whatever you want, let you bomb enough! ”
Rumble!
Several shells flew suddenly, grazed the mast and fell into the desert.
"Who? How dare you attack us! Herbert roared. His gaze quickly fell on the hill not far away, where six or seven heavy catapults were desperately trying to pull back the slinging arms with their winch.
The sea dragon sneered, "With the speed of the catapult, how can it be possible to hit our warship?" Ghost knives, ready to fire! Beat them up! ”
The pirates quickly rushed to assemble near the cannon, and Herbert naturally did not miss this opportunity, rushed down to the deck to reload, aimed at a catapult, and immediately ignited the fuse.
The catapult fired another volley, and the guns on the pirate ship fired one after another. The cannon roared, and the smoke of the catapults filled the air. It appears that a catapult was blown apart on the spot, with parts scattered all over the ground.
"Good play, boys!" The ghost knife aimed at the catapults that were retreating into the canyon, and sneered, "These cowards, if they can't beat us, they want to escape to the canyon to hide?" ”
Boom!
The catapult fired five or six shells in unison, and finally one of them smashed on the flagship of the sea dragon. Hearing the sound of a barrel shattering, the sea dragon and several pirate leaders felt a chill on their faces at the same time. Then a foul smell came from his body.
Instead of rocks and bombs, catapults fired barrels.
A wooden bucket full of feces and urine.
The sea dragon, who had always been calm, was angry at the moment.
The deputy leader of the Ironbeard Pirate Regiment, who crisscrossed the sea, was actually drenched in dung during the war, what a huge psychological damage!
"Wow!" The sea dragon's forehead was bruised, "Hook! Turn me around! Catch up and crush those bugs!! ”
The hook hurriedly ordered people to raise the flag, and the five warships turned at the same time, rushing into the Waste Dragon Canyon like a fierce herd of beasts.
The soldiers who had attacked him did not seem to expect them to chase them into the canyon, so they abandoned the catapult in fright, stepped on the chocobo and fled to the other side of the canyon. The five battleships were at full speed, forming a long line to chase after them.
"Judgment in anger often leads to disaster." Lydia hid in a cave at the bottom of the canyon and watched the battleship slowly move away, "It seems that the 'boat batter' that Rowling brought is going to play a big role again." ”
Arrows rang out in the sky, and Fili and Danica rushed out of the hidden pit without hesitation with a team of brave soldiers. With long poles in their hands and bulging explosives tied to the tips, they hurried towards the land warships amid the chanting of slogans.
"What are they going to do?" The pirates on the battleship exclaimed, "Aim at them, shoot quickly!" ”
The cannons roared in unison, and the land in the canyon was blown to craters, and the blast wave of the explosion tossed over many people. But none of this stopped Fili and Danica, who shouted, "Come on, show them some color!" ”
Sparks flew from the muzzles of the guns, and the shells burst through the air, making a sharp whistling sound. Like tigers out of the mountain, the demolition team accelerated towards the battleship, and in the continuous artillery fire, they quickly rushed into the blind spot of the cannon, and poked the explosives on the long pole into the gap of the track.
Boom Boom!
After a few loud bangs, the hinges were blown off in an instant, and the heavy tracks slid to the ground with a clatter. The battleship lost momentum and immediately stopped.
"What's going on?" The sea dragon said angrily, "Could it be an ambush? ”
The hook snapped for a moment, then turned to the sea dragon and reported, "Both the head and tail ships have been badly damaged and are unable to move. They stuck the road at both ends, and we got stuck in the canyon. ”
The sea dragon waved his fist and said, "Don't give me nonsense, go fix them!" ”
Hook hurriedly dispatched maintenance workers to zipline down from the battleship with materials on his back.
But no sooner had the pirates thrown their ropes than a number of soldiers burst out from the slopes on either side of the gorge, crowded with catapults and artillery, and condescendingly aimed at the five warships. There are also a number of repeater chariots at the bottom of the canyon, which shoot at the side of the ship.
The maintenance pirates hanging on the side of the ship were in an embarrassing state of not being able to get up and down, and there was no place to dodge in front of the crossbow, and they were nailed to the side of the ship by arrows in the blink of an eye.
The pirates on deck were no better, with artillery and trebuchets delivering a covering blow to five battleships like hail.
This time, it's no longer a dung bucket, it's a real bomb.
The flames of the explosions came and went, and the deck of the pirate ship was charred black with gunpowder as if it had been repainted. All the buildings on the deck were destroyed, and the masts and rudders were blown to pieces.
The gunners below deck were trying to find a point of attack, but their cannons in the canyon could only bombard the rock walls on either side, and could not hit the catapults and cannons overhead.
"Get into the cabin!" The sea dragon hissed and shouted, "The hull of the ship is made of 100 steel, and they can't break it!" ”
The unusually sturdy hull was a bit of a surprise to Lydia.
She had thought that under such a dense artillery bombardment, even if the ships were not broken, they would have made a big hole in the side of the ship. I didn't expect the hull to be so hard, the pirates cowered in the cabin, and Lydia was helpless.
Filip asked, "Princess, what are we going to do now?" ”
