Chapter 1667 River Mouth Ambush

When the time came to August 25, half a month after Linyuanbao was besieged, Governor Winthrop was finally ready to go south to help.

Five thousand reinforcements set off from New Avalon, took 30 flat-bottomed boats, and went down the Vimur River. It is expected to arrive at the outskirts of Linyuan Castle on September 3, when General Cornwallis will take the initiative to attack. Cooperate with the reinforcements to attack the imperial army besieging the city.

The calculations of Governor Winthrop and General Cornwallis came to nothing. On September 2, the fleet carrying Fizhen's army touched the "reef" as soon as it left the Iron Forest.

In fact, there are no real hidden reefs in the open waters near the river mouth. It was the ten iron cables that Baron Laval pulled on both sides of the river bank in advance that brought disaster to the Feizhen fleet.

These iron chains, disguised by magic, completely merged into the river, leaving almost no trace. It was only when the troop carrier drifting down at high speed hit the iron chains head-on, collided with each other with a terrifying roar, and became a mess. The Feizhen officers and soldiers on board were startled. Hit the ambush, but it was too late.

Baron Laval stood on a bushy highland by the bank, staring coldly at the enemy army lying in ambush through the binoculars, waved his hand, and signaled the messenger to blow the horn.

The sound of murderous horns echoed over the river and the dense forest. The Midgard officers and soldiers ambushing on both sides of the river bank pushed aside the camouflage net made of branches, occupied the high ground on both sides of the river bank, and sniped the troop carrier with crossbows and rifles. Unsuspecting Fizen officers and soldiers.

At the same time, the spell casters in the army, including "Snake Hand" Sharman, also started to cast spells, blasting "Fireball", "Smelly Cloud" or "Frost Nova" towards the flat-bottomed barge spinning on the river, Mercilessly slaughter the enemy troops on board.

Exclamation and mourning rang out over the river mouth, and the Feizhen officers and soldiers who were ambushed were shot down one after another, or were blown away by fireballs flying across the sky, and the river surface was stained red with blood.

The one-sided massacre lasted for more than ten minutes. The stranded troop carrier blocked the river, and hundreds of floating corpses were stuffed between the sides of the ship.

At this moment, Daoist Fei regained his composure, and under the scolding of the commanders of the battalions, he raised his shield to block the shooting from the shore, and at the same time, he was struggling to pass, overturn, and move toward the shore among the troop carriers that formed a row.

Baron Laval observed the latest developments of the enemy army through the telescope, and ordered the spellcasters accompanying the army to destroy the barge, lest the real man Fei should go ashore and stabilize his position.

"Snake Hand" Sharman used "manipulating the water level" to set off a monstrous vortex on the calm river surface, causing the water level to rise crazily, and turned most of the barges upside down in an instant.

However, the depth of the river is limited after all, and Sharman's spells cannot stop the enemy's obsession with escaping. Feizhen officers and soldiers in red uniforms, like densely packed "marching ants", swam ashore in groups and immediately hid in the bushes. The gun countered.

As more and more Fizen officers and soldiers successfully disembarked, the gunfire became more intense, so that it gradually overwhelmed the gunfire from the Midgard side.

Although this Fizen army is from the Jotunheim militia, nearly one-third of the soldiers are equipped with magic crystal smoothbore rifles. The level of equipment is far from that of the Midgard colonial army. Intuitive manifestation of the gap.

The number of Fizen riflemen who have gone ashore has reached the scale of a thousand. Although the positions are relatively scattered and they are still under pressure as a whole, they have gradually gained a foothold, and relying on their superior firepower, they forced the ambushers of Midgard They did not dare to attack the troop carrier unscrupulously, so that the Fizhen officers and soldiers on the ship and in the river could have a respite, and they could move to the shore more calmly and join the ranks of shooting back.

An hour has passed since the start of the ambush.

The Laval Corps made a good start. In the first half hour of the firefight, they killed and wounded Fizhen officers and soldiers, plus the unlucky ghosts who fell into the water and drowned, nearly 2,000 people.

However, in the follow-up battles, Master Fei fought back after landing, and the number of casualties shot by Midgard's side also rose sharply, and the situation on the battlefield was quietly turning around.

"Hey! These Yankees are more difficult to deal with than we imagined!"

"Snake Hand" Sharman raised his "Burning Staff" and released the "Wall of Fire" technique towards the bushes where a small group of Feizhen riflemen were lurking. Teleport to the enemy crowd to kill and kill, creating panic.

"Cunning Sharman! Looking at Scala furtively, what do you want to do?!"

"The vicious Sharman must have no good intentions!"

"Sharman had better not get close to Scala, otherwise, as Joan's younger brother said, bite him with nine mouths together!"

...

Scala's nine heads issued frantic warnings to Sharman one after another.

On the matter of guarding against Sharman's plot, the nine heads of Scala can always reach a consensus, showing a rare unity.

"Damn it! It's all because of that little mage's instigation. Scala, a lunatic, is becoming less and less trusting of me. This is not a good sign!"

Sharman gritted his teeth in hatred.

Baron Laval put down his binoculars and cast a displeased look at Sharman.

"The longer the time goes on, the worse the situation on the battlefield is for us. Changes must be made as soon as possible, Sharman, tell Elson that my patience with him is running out, and he will either take the 'wicker' in five minutes. People' get here, or never appear in front of me!"

Baron Laval's cold words echoed in Sharman's ears, causing him to shudder, and a flattering smile was forced out of his pale face.

"My lord, please don't get angry. That guy Elson is lazy and always procrastinating. He didn't mean to put on airs in front of you. If you wait a little longer, I'll urge him to come here immediately!"

Wiping off his cold sweat, Sharman hurriedly took out a "communication stone" from the storage bag, activated the magic power, and shouted angrily: "Elson! What the hell are you doing? Why don't you hurry up and take your The big toy is sent here! If you don't show up again, Lord Laval will really get angry!"

"Get angry? Hehe, I like fire, and I'm also very curious about the expression of that Sir, who has a cold coffin face all day long, when he gets angry." A lazy and soft voice, in Sharman Haunting.

"You'd better get rid of this dangerous idea, Elson, it's not a joke to provoke Sir Laval, it doesn't matter if you die yourself, don't implicate us!" Sharman lowered his voice and warned.

"Sorry, I have nothing but dangerous thoughts in my mind. In fact, I am the embodiment of danger, like a flame."

Elson's careless words are still echoing in the air. A teleportation light array has risen in the forest glade in front of him. A huge black shadow is looming in the array. Diffuse out.
