Chapter 226
Less than half an hour.
After hearing the shouts, the merchants who had not had time to evacuate all ran away!
When the time came, without the slightest hesitation, the ghost fire brazenly launched a war!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Twenty ships lined up sideways in a half-moon shape, and more than a hundred guns were aimed at the port and fired at the same time.
At the same time, the soldiers who had set up a camp at the port also fired artillery shells in a hurry!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Accompanied by the loud explosion, the shells bombarded the port like a meteor shower, overturning the people who were bombed by the soldiers of the Ward Kingdom who were waiting!
"what--"
"Help!"
"help me!"
"my hand!"
"Spread out, disperse!"
A scream echoed in the port immediately, and the entire port was filled with gunpowder for a while. Blood flowed, stumps and arms flew everywhere.
The ship led by the ghost fire only fired one round of shells, and at least two hundred soldiers stationed at the port died.
"Look at the burst!" Feddy roared in exasperation as he watched his soldiers continue to shoot cannonballs in front of the ships led by the ghost fire, but failed to hit a ship.
"No, no! It's not that they can't shoot accurately, but the range of the other party's artillery is about 500 meters farther than ours!" Kake looked at the distant fleet with a telescope and hurriedly said.
"What!?" Freddie exclaimed in surprise.
Five hundred meters?
What is this concept?
You must know that on the battlefield, with a range of 100 meters, you can easily suppress the enemy, making the enemy desperate, not to mention 500 meters more?
What Feddy didn't know was that the ghost fire had already suppressed the range. The farthest range of the rifled gun was three kilometers, and the ghost fire deliberately fired shells at two kilometers near the port!
"Quick, back up, at least two kilometers away from the port, or we'll be beaten all the time!" Kaker looked anxious.
"No! Once you retreat so much distance, the port is already lost, and two kilometers, it can cover almost half of the buildings in the port. Once you retreat, these buildings may be destroyed directly. The loss will be big!" Ferdy struggled.
"If you don't step back, it's not just the building, but even the rest of us will have to explain everything here!" Kak looked at Feddy, who was still uncertain between the gains and losses, and said angrily.
"Yes, yes, retreat quickly, and call my brother-in-law to urge him to come to support, otherwise this port will not be able to hold!" Kak reminded, Feidi immediately woke up and stepped down decisively Decide.
"Da da da!"
After Feidi made a decision, the soldiers in the port also retreated quickly with the sound of chaotic footsteps.
This kind of feeling of being beaten without being able to beat people is too uncomfortable!
"Retreat, retreat!"
"Don't worry about the cannons at this time, let's go!"
"Escape!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
Just as the soldiers were retreating, the people led by the ghost fire fired again.
The retreating soldiers lost another 100 people, a total of 1,500 soldiers. After two rounds of shelling, there were only 1,110 soldiers left.
——
On the main ship of the attacking ships!
"Boss Ghost Fire, they retreated, do we want to catch up and shoot a few more shots?"
In fact, this strong man looks very fierce and like a pirate, but he was born in the navy of Saint Martin!
The current Ghost Fire Pirates, except for a small part of the pirates originally brought by Ghost Fire, a large part are selected and joined from the navy of St. Martin. The Navy is no different!
"No need, let them retreat, we slowly push forward, oppress them, and force them to call for assistance sooner!" Guihuo shook his head and said.
His purpose is to attract reinforcements, not to capture this port! ——
Ward Kingdom
Ward City Palace Hall
Just after receiving the attack on the port, Ward Mack, who was in a very bad mood, sat on the throne with a gloomy expression on his face, and the atmosphere of the entire hall became extremely depressed because of his expression.
All the princes and ministers of Ward Kingdom lowered their heads and dared not speak.
at this time.
"Da da da!"
Accompanied by the footsteps, a waiter ran out of the hall with an anxious face, came to the front of Ward Mack, knelt down, and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, Lord Feidi called just now, I hope Your Majesty will hurry to support, otherwise The Golden Tiger Port is about to fall!"
"What!?" Ward Mack said angrily.
Not long after he received the news, he was about to fall?
What the hell is Feddy doing?
What a waste, he has given him such a high position because of himself!
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Wardmack's mind, but in the end he forcibly suppressed his anger, calmed down, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
"Your Majesty, according to Lord Ferdi's report, it is because the opponent's cannon has a range of 500 meters longer than ours, so he had to retreat to the port two kilometers first. Now the port is semi-undefended. That's why he asked for help!" The waiter briefly explained what Fedy said!
Hearing this, Ward Mike was taken aback.
Five hundred meters! ?
Immediately, he understood why the port was lost!
If he was in command, there was nothing he could do in the face of the artillery with a range of 500 meters beyond his own range!
Feddy's method of stepping back and asking for help is indeed the safest way!
Think about it!
"Goodley!" Wardmac shouted to the ministers below the throne.
"Here!" A middle-aged man wearing a black trench coat, black leather shoes, carrying a pair of knives on his back, a national character face, and a broom head walked out of the queue, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully.
Goodley was originally the captain of the Guards of Ward Mack, and later inherited the position before Ward Mack after Ward Mack usurped the throne and became the general of the kingdom!
"You take the 3,000 troops who are guarding the king's city outside the city to support the Golden Tiger Port!" Ward Mack said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Goodley nodded in agreement.
He didn't ask what he would do if the army guarding the royal city was taken away, nor did he ask how the kingdom could carry so many people in ten ships!
Because as the former captain of the Guards, he understands that Ward Mack's order is unquestionable, and he can only find a way to solve it, instead of asking Ward Mack what to do!
"Go!" Ward Mike waved his hand, motioning Goodley to leave!
Goodley nodded, turned and left the palace, heading to the barracks outside the city!
on the way.
Goodley, who had just walked out of the palace, fell into contemplation as he walked.
Of course, he wasn't thinking about the safety of the king's city. In fact, he wasn't worried about the completeness of the king's city!
After all, in addition to the 3,000 troops in the kingdom, there are also the Golden Tiger Cavalry and the Giant Elephant Cavalry near the Wangcheng. If he takes away these 3,000 troops, the security of the Wangcheng will naturally be taken over by these two cavalry!
He was thinking, how to bring so many people to support, and how to defeat them when the opponent's artillery range exceeds his own 500 meters!
He has followed Ward Mack for many years and has experienced many wars. Naturally, he knows that in naval battles, it is not possible to win with a large number of people. The 500-meter cannon range is enough to change many things!
After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't think of any way until he almost reached the gate of the city!
At this moment, a loud noise came from the city gate.
"Roar--"
"Get out of the way, rubbish, get out of the way!" An aristocratic teenager dressed in gorgeous clothes grinned, riding a golden tiger and running wildly on the street.
"what--"
"Flick away!"
"Andra, leave now!"
In the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping, the noble boy rode a golden tiger and rushed into the city from the city gate. At this time, on the route in his direction, a little boy of four or five years old was frightened by the menacing golden tiger. Got stunned in place.
Seeing that the golden tiger was about to hit the little boy.
Goodley frowned slightly and stretched his right hand to the knife handle behind him!
"Chong!"
The sword was unsheathed, and a sword qi flew towards the golden tiger.
"Pfft!"
The golden tiger was cut in half in an instant, and the noble boy fell directly because of it, and because of inertia, his body couldn't help but roll forward a certain distance!
Finally, he came to a face brake, and stopped in front of the little boy in a five-body posture.
"That bastard did it, stand up for me, I'm going to kill him!" The noble boy roared with a hideous expression on his wounded face, resisting the pain on his body.
After he sees the initiator.
In an instant, the cold hair stood on end, the cold sweat was flowing, and he knelt down with a thud, his body trembled slightly, his face showed a look of horror, and he kowtowed while begging for mercy, "General Goodley, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you, forgive me. me."
However, at this time Goodley didn't care about his begging for mercy, but stared blankly at the route he rolled over.
After a while, the corners of his mouth rose up involuntarily.
He has a way!
