Chapter 342
One is to gamble everything.
One is hesitating again and again.
The outcome is naturally a foregone conclusion.
Fortunately, the leader of the Yongye army hesitated in the final battle, but he did not hesitate in retreating. After all, there was an experienced veteran like Di Kelong in charge, and the military staff led by Kellman checked and filled in the gaps.
Finding that there was nothing to be done, those who retreated were clean and neat, and did not confront the army organized by the Kingsley family at all. When those routs were about to be wiped out by both sides, they retreated in an organized and orderly manner.
"Rush, keep rushing, kill them all! Kill them all! Drive them all into the water!"
"Come on, you idiots, do you want to die? Kill! Kill all the idiots who block our route!"
After this situation occurred, there was no need for Ake Messer's orders, and the elite veterans of the Kingsley family all had bloodshot eyes, their eyes flushed with excitement.
In this kind of large-scale battle with more than 100,000 people, it is simply whimsical that the leader of the Yong Ye army would still want to retreat completely.
No matter how organized and orderly you are, don't think it's so easy to leave, unless their enemy is a fool, just watch them escape like this.
The recruits were stupid and didn't know how to do it, but the low-level officers who were veterans knew it, excitedly shouting at the comrades they knew or didn't know, and kept pushing forward.
He wanted to reverse the retreat of Yong Ye's army leader into a full-line rout.
Although there is only one word difference between the two adjectives, the difference is worlds regardless of the situation and the final result.
boom! boom! boom!
The soldiers of the Kingsley family followed closely behind the retreating troops led by the Yong Ye army, and they had just stepped out of the city wall a few steps.
A series of explosions started out of thin air.
Black smoke was billowing, flesh and blood were flying, and earth and rocks were flying everywhere.
The scene on the city wall of Brothers Port was reproduced.
To be more precise, the explosion was much less powerful, but the scene was countless times more shocking.
Because the collective blasting on the city wall of Brother Port was too powerful, the first to bear the brunt basically did not survive, and the elite army led by the Yongye army who had been preparing for a long time counterattacked, and did not give any attention to those Kingsley soldiers. , time to savor the unique lethality of this primary firearm.
It was different now, the wounded far outnumbered the dead, and there were many missing arms and legs, lying on the ground one by one, tossing and moaning in pain.
"My legs, my legs..."
"My arm, my arm, who saw my arm?"
"Help me, save me, whoever save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."
Large tracts of land were stained red with blood. That kind of desperate scene was very demoralizing.
"What's going on? Where did the attack just come from?"
"Has anyone seen how the attack actually happened?"
"Don't squeeze, don't continue to rush, do you want to die?"
Many soldiers of the Kingsley family looked at each other in blank dismay, looking at the empty flat ground in a daze.
The explosion just now did not come from the bombing of the trebuchet overhead, but happened out of thin air.
To be more precise, it should have come from the ground. Among the wounded soldiers lying on the ground moaning, far more lost their legs than lost their hands.
But the problem is, they rushed forward at the pace of the soldiers led by the Yongye Army. They were safe and sound when they left. They were only a few steps behind, and they exploded when they stepped on it. How did they become a trap?
The Kingsley soldiers were unaware of a weapon called a landmine—a mine made of black powder.
"Drive the cannon fodder up!"
Of course, Akemesser was unwilling to sit back and watch this great opportunity slip away, and sent the few remaining cannon fodder to a dead end with a wave of his hand.
"Don't do it, please, don't do it."
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, please forgive me, please, please forgive me, I have done my best for you!"
"Go forward, move forward quickly, or you will be killed without mercy!"
boom! boom!
As a result, it is conceivable that these cannon fodder were sent into the sky by black powder mines without taking a few steps.
It has no meaning except to increase the number of soldiers lying on the ground crying.
And the main force of the Yongye army has already taken this opportunity to get rid of the entanglement of the Kingsley family, and is regrouping hundreds of meters away.
In the eyes of those Kingsley soldiers, the open space between the two sides has become more dangerous than the city walls of Brother Port.
At least they knew where the threat on the city wall was. Facing this open space, they couldn't figure out the situation at all.
The Kingsley family has the trump card of the Yongye army leader - the golden armor, which has completely reversed the situation of the battle that was about to collapse.
The Yong Ye army leader also has a hole card that the Kingsley family does not have-a variety of original cross-age weapons.
The Kingsley family became the first victims of this weapon.
Many of these weapons have broken the traditional warfare, beyond their cognition, let alone defense, it is normal that they will suffer a big loss when they touch it.
"Don't act rashly, fix it in situ."
Even if Ake Messer didn't want to, he could only watch the Eternal Night Army leader swaggeringly retreat in front of them.
Before finding out how many traps the Yongye Army Leader had prepared, his elite army could not act rashly.
"Regroup the army and establish strongholds."
"Drive the slaves, go to the front to investigate the situation, and prepare to snatch the catapult along the river."
"Send a letter to Captain Stark and ask them to conduct interception on the water, and tell them to be careful, be careful of fraud!"
Ake Messer's order was conveyed in an orderly manner.
Three commands are performed at the same time.
The first order was naturally to prevent another counterattack by the Yong Ye Army Commander.
Although Ake Messer relied on the magical effect of the golden armor just now, he forcibly put together the Kingsley family's Eastern Army.
In fact, from top to bottom, it has become a mess, and the soldiers will be mixed together, rushing forward for the same goal.
However, no matter how much energy the golden armor has, it is limited. The consumption just now is a bit scary. Even Akemesser, who is not sensitive to magic energy, can feel that the energy on the golden armor is only a thin layer. layer.
What used to be a lake is now a small pond that is about to dry up.
At this time, Akemeser finally had the mood to remember its preciousness, and cut it off immediately, and the rest of the battle situation needed to be maintained by people.
As soon as it was cut off, Ake Messer had already begun to miss that feeling.
Compared with manpower, just now he used the golden armor to control the army, as if he had opened the perspective of a god.
The whole situation is under his control, and his control over the entire army is like his own arm.
Let him have the illusion that he is the master of this war.
No wonder the ancient artifact is also called the artifact of battle and artifact of war.
In war, they really have an unimaginable role.
If I knew it was so powerful, why wait until now?
Ake Messer had already gone out in person and led his men to wash down the city wall of Brother Port.
It's a pity that the world doesn't know that much earlier.
It is too difficult to accumulate the energy of the battle artifact. If he hadn't been forced to do so just now, he would not have dared to consume the magic energy of the golden armor.
In the final analysis, it was caused by this Dharma-ending era.
It's just that he has experienced such a high-end battle situation, how can he command that kind of man-made battle situation with low operational efficiency in the future?
The second order was directed at attacking.
Ake Messer is obviously unwilling to give up, he doesn't want to let the Yongye army leader and the crocodile city defense personnel slip away so easily, he wants to delay the Yongye army leader's retreat as much as possible, and unite with the Commons family's fleet to They stay here.
The result was not ideal. What greeted the trembling cannon fodder was a series of explosions, with severed limbs flying everywhere, not even a whole body.
The cannon fodder in the back was scared out of their wits. No matter how intimidated Kingsley soldiers were, they refused to move forward, even if their heads were chopped off.
Fangzheng would be dead if he rushed forward, and he would be dead if he didn't. They would rather choose the latter, at least they could get a whole body.
Being blown up by black powder landmines, it is lucky to die on the spot. I am afraid that the half-dead, whose intestines have been blown up, but they are not dead, moaning and wailing there, and I don’t know how long it will take to get rid of it-death is their only thing. relief.
Just seeing that kind of situation makes one's scalp numb and trembling all over, let alone experiencing it personally.
"Send them on their way." Akemeser waved his hand and issued an execution order, not only unwilling to listen to their wailing, but also unwilling to see them attack the morale of his army.
A burst of sharp arrows shot those soldiers who were struggling on the ground in place. In this case, this is also a kind of mercy.
It is said that the cold weapon battle is more tragic than the firearm war, that is because they have not witnessed the battlefield destroyed by the firearm war.
If you have witnessed it with your own eyes, you will never be able to say such a thing.
There is no one who is more tragic than the other on both sides, and each has its own ruthlessness.
The ferocity of cold weapons lies in the fact that in short-handed combat, a knife can see flesh, and it is more likely to have a large number of internal and external injuries.
The fierceness of firearms warfare lies in the fact that while killing people is more efficient, the damage caused is also more diverse and more brutal.
Burns, scalds, explosions, broken arms, missing legs, etc. challenge the limits of human brains.
The soldiers of the Kingsley family were all exposed to large-scale firearms warfare for the first time.
They may have adapted to the cruelty of cold weapon warfare, but they have not adapted to the characteristics of firearm warfare.
There is no contradiction between these.
"Drive the cattle." Ake Messer's adaptation speed was much faster than theirs, and he quickly came up with a new trick.
A large number of livestock were driven into the black powder minefields, trampled wildly, and cleared a road as soon as possible.
However, it will be difficult to complete in a short while. In order to buy more time for the retreat, the leader of the Yongye Army planted a terrifying number of black powder mines, which are likely to cover all the roads of Brother Port.
Ake Messer could see clearly that the leader of the Yongye Army who was retreating not far away planted this headache bomb in the middle of the road while retreating.
This is blatant delay.
But they were helpless.
For the Kingsley family, these black powder mines are out-and-out high-tech products, and there is no way to clear them through technology. They can only be detonated artificially, bit by bit.
As for the third item, the fleet of the Commons family has already taken action before Ake Messer's message to the eagle and the messenger arrives.
The Commons family has been paying attention to the battle situation in Brother Port. Not only can they attack immediately when the situation is favorable to them, but they can also retreat strategically if there is a disadvantage. .
Although the siege of Brothers Harbor was repeated, and his allies were almost defeated, the final result was still in their favor, and the rest was their business, driving the leader of the Yongye army back to his hometown , to block the channel.
By that time, the Swamp of Despair can only be at their mercy.
They can't help in the land battle, but they have enough confidence in the water battle.
As usual, the Supreme Commander of the Third Fleet of the Commons family, Stubbs, stood barefoot on the bow of his flagship Dragon Skeleton, and waved his command knife in high spirits: "The whole army is attacking."
Every time Stubbs chooses to stand here, it's not because he wants to look cool and handsome.
In addition to the relatively wide viewing angle of this high-hanging dragon head, it is also because in this position, some unconventional methods can be used.
Xiao En's observation of the Dragon Skeleton Battleship is not wrong. Although it is not an ancient artifact, it has the same effect as it. Although it will not provide persistence to other battleships, it uses the energy of spells like the Golden Armor to carry out Remote sound transmission can still be done.
It can be said that the entire Commons family fleet is under the control of Stubbs.
"Yunxiao One is ready, the enemy is still 300 meters away from the predetermined position... 200 meters... 100 meters... 30 meters... 10 meters... Now, let it go!"
Click!
As the weight ball at the other end of the roller catapult fell to the ground under the action of gravity, under the principle of leverage, the boulder at the other end was pulled into the air with a buzzing sound under the traction of the rope.
This gigantic rock weighing 130 kilograms has sharp edges and corners, and has been carefully carved. After flying into the air, it entered a state of high-speed rotation.
With a sharp roar, it smashed into a wave-breaking warship of the Commons family.
The captain of this battleship is also a veteran who has experienced many storms. He reacted immediately and ordered loudly: "Full left rudder, evade, evade!"
The huge hull began to tilt.
However, the evasive actions taken in this situation are mostly a kind of self-comfort.
Although the Polang-class battleship is the smallest in the third fleet of the Commons family, it is more than 20 meters long. In just a dozen seconds, it can't make any effective evasive actions.
boom!
The tumbling boulder stuck to the hull of the battleship and smashed into the water, splashing everywhere, and there was a burst of excited cheers from the battleship.
It is true that the warships of the Commons family are not easy to dodge, and the roller catapult led by the Yongye army is not 100% accurate. Even against these large ships, most of the time depends on luck.
At this moment, Lady Luck is undoubtedly on the side of the Commons family.
But this was just the beginning. Following the action of the Commons family's Armada, all the river defense catapults at Brothers Port started to move, and what could be heard was the sound of mechanical gears turning and the shouts of field commanders.
"Yunxiao No. 2 is ready, let it go!"
"Yunxiao No. 3 is ready, let it go!"
The scene of countless boulders being launched into the sky at the same time stopped the attack momentum of the high-spirited Commons Family Third Fleet.
Standing on the bow of the dragon skeleton warship, Stubin jumped his feet angrily, and cursed: "What the hell is that bastard Ake Messer doing? Hasn't he already taken Brother Port? Why are these damned catapults still in operation? ? Is he going to betray his allies? Stop attacking, stop attacking..."
Stubbs' doubts were immediately passed on to Ake Messer through Shanying.
"Idiot!" Akemeser pursed his lips and showed a disdainful smile.
Stubin didn't wait for the definite news from his side to arrive, so he couldn't wait to act, obviously grabbing the same credit as last time.
Just now, why didn't the Yongye army leader sink a few of their warships, let them suffer a little bit, and see if they dare to jump around casually in the future.
Although the Yongye army leader and the crocodile tribe began to retreat in a planned way, it did not mean that they dispersed in a rush, and just left the brothers Hong Kong to the Kingsley family and the Commons family.
I owed another chapter yesterday, and I owe a total of two chapters, and I will make it up together after the Spring Festival!
