Chapter 396: The defeat of the second coalition (1/2)
The Baishui River flows from the south of the Leslie family's territory to the northern foothills of the Dark Mountains. Earl of Pepo stands on the bow of the "warship" and looks at the new walls of the town of Tanzan. Slowly retreating, my heart is full of ambition.
"Warship" is just a swearing saying. In fact, it is only a large merchant ship sailing in the river. But the Peipo family has always mastered the best shipbuilding technology in the South. Any kind of ship they built is in the same type of ship. The strongest of them, in this place far from the sea and without real warships, the merchant ship transformed by Francin Peibo is the best warship.
Moreover, since the storm church has fallen into the son of the storm, and the human being has been completely blocked on the mainland by the magic tide in the sea, the era of great voyage has ended. The burgeoning nautical techniques and the concept of surface fighting have hardly been much. In the development of the dead, the humans have tossed on the limited inland river for hundreds of years, and the technical backwardness of the warship is also inevitable.
The "warships" that were transformed from merchant ships and cargo ships are already the capital that Earl of Peibo is proud of.
A nobleman familiar with Falun Ning Peibo walked to the bow and stood beside the Earl of Peibo. Looking at the walls of Tanzan, which was receding, he couldn’t help but feel: "Look at these brand new walls, Andrews The Viscounts built them within a year... God knows how much he made from the ore of the ship and the ship."
"With Seychel, who is backed by gold and silver, Leslie’s sick scorpion can get rich if he gets three or two scattered gold coins from his master." Faluning Peibo looked at Tan with an arrogant expression. The wall of Sangzhen, he saw that the walls were all new brick walls, but there was no shadow between the wall and the hot oil pan between the walls. I could only see a row and I didn’t know how long I had never used it. The old trebuchet was placed on the wall of the new building, and he couldn’t help but shake his head. "However, the rich man is finally shallow, and he finally let the road open, no glory, no profit. At best, I can exchange a neutral peace from this 'cooperation'."
"I heard that he wanted to stand on the side of the Cecil family at the beginning and aired the messenger you sent for many days," the aristocrat next to him sighed. "Until the Count of Horsman wrote a letter and sent a messenger, He agreed to let go of the river and let the army cross the border... It’s not wise. As I know so, he should cooperate with it at the beginning."
"If he cooperated at the beginning, I would have to worry about whether he would throw stones from the river when he passed the river," Count Pope couldn't help but smile. "The Viscount Andrew has been with him since last year." Cecil’s family was together, and he was hesitant when the situation changed.
As said, the vast dozens of large and small ships have already sailed through the river in front of Tanzan Town, and the sparse soldiers of the Leslie family stood on the wall and watched as they prepared to attack Sethi. The coalition forces of the collars passed by them.
After the change of wind direction, the speed of the fleet began to accelerate. The dual forces of windsurfing and slurrying made these sturdy and huge wooden boats rush to the Cecil collar. The wizards brought by the nobles activated the arrangement on both sides of the hull. The runes further reduced the impact of the surface waves on the vessel, so they sailed for about half a day. The two sides of the fleet began to appear in the jungle, and the Baishui River became narrow and anxious.
Earl Pepe once again came to the bow. He looked at the situation on the river with a little curiosity. He found that other ships were invisible except for his own fleet.
This seems normal. People with a little bit of news should have heard about the war. There are no other ships sailing on the river.
But he was curious as to where the team was now, and he greeted a knight who was near the whistle: "How far is it from Cecil?"
"Adults, we are almost in the forestry of the frost forest village!" The Cavaliers immediately replied, "Shuanglin Village is the westernmost village of Cecil."
"Very well, we will first knock down the place, then split half of the people ashore and attack along the river bank," Earl Pepo nodded. Then he looked at the lush forest on both sides of the river and couldn't help but smile and raise his hand. "You see here the river is narrow and there are jungles on both sides. If those Cecils have a little courage, set up several battle mage in these jungles to ambush with tidal spells, or attack with heavy rifles and trebuchets, maybe there are still Opportunity makes us lose one or two ships..."
In the concealed artillery position on the south bank of the Baishui River, the Byron knight climbing to the tree looked at the fleet that was passing through the river. After the team was over halfway, he finally laughed and then picked a fruit from the side and threw it under the tree. The commander: "A signal! A ta for one!"
Two seconds later, dozens of sounds of dense air blasting suddenly broke the silence in the jungle, dozens of light "convincing i-type" magic crystal shells and several heavy "just i-type" heavy artillery shells The light blue magic brilliance rushed out of the muzzle of the accelerating orbit, rushed out the camouflage vines and leaves, crossed the arc of death in the air, and fell heavily on the fleet led by Count Peapo. central!
Boom!
One after another, the water column suddenly rises up between the fleets, along with the water column, and there are huge explosions and shock waves generated by the explosion. The two ships were unfortunately hit in the first round of volley, wooden boats. The shell was like a paper paste in front of this inexplicable big bang. The first ship was blown up in the middle and broke into two on the spot, while the other ship was even more miserable. A heavy heavy shell was in it. The bottom of the explosion, the entire ship was blown off the surface of the water, let it fall apart in the air!
The first second was still a quiet river, quietly sailing, the next second was the skyfire that fell from the sky, and the tragic death. The knights and militia on the ship almost did not react to what happened, and they were already in great confusion. Among them, the screams of the people and the sorrow of the dead animals rang through every ship, but in the shelling position on the South Bank, the Byron Knight had just climbed up from the ground.
"I have shaken Laozi all over!" The knight, who was born by the mercenary, seldom converges in front of the lord. He does not even talk about the knighthood in front of his own soldiers. He slaps the dirt on his body and uses it. The voice shouted loudly. "I have seen it again. I will be happy if I hit two of the dozens of guns.!" The persuader's gun group, you should not be close to the heavy guns!"
The camouflage on each of the rail guns was withdrawn, and the continuous buzzing began to reverberate throughout the position. In the middle of the Baishui River, the mighty coalition’s “fleet” was now in great panic. And catastrophic chaos. Despite the lack of artillery training, the lack of maturity of new weapons tactics, and the difficulty of shooting river targets, most of the shells are still falling into the water, but the huge water column in the water and the ships that are in the explosion from time to time still let those The people who are still alive are cold, but the knights and mages on the ship feel desperate. They have no way to fight back, or even have no way to get security!
