Chapter 721 (2/2)

”Here comes the catapult. Form a defensive formation. Look for cover!”

”Here comes the catapult. Form a defensive formation. Look for cover!”

On the battlefield, the shouts and shouts of the front-line commanders of Yongye army come and go. No matter whether the blade is only one centimeter away from the enemy, or wrestling with the enemy, the Yongye soldiers do not hesitate to start the battle roar combat technique. The skill energy uses sound waves to attack indiscriminately, and directly flicks away the enemies around them. Some of them are too close and straight I was dazzled by the huge sound wave, and I didn't return to my mind for a few seconds.

”What is this?”

”What happened just now?”

”What did they just do?”

Most of the soldiers in the East China Sea who were exposed to combat skills for the first time were in a muddle, and their cognition was completely broken by the situation in front of them.

On the other side, the soldiers led by the eternal night army regrouped, centering on the front-line commanders and soldiers with heavy shields, to consolidate some scattered defensive formations.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Innumerable projectiles not much larger than the fist were smashed down, and explosions came one after another.

The black powder shot by the East China Sea fleet with catapults has arrived.

After eating black powder on the Donau River and losing stubin, he was deeply aware of the impact of this new weapon on the mode of naval warfare.

At the same time, we also know that when we decide to migrate to the eastern sea, the conflict between the two sides is inevitable.

Over the years, they have been crazy about the use of black powder and how to deal with it.

They have built their own black powder production plant five years ago and integrated their use with the old naval battle mode.

To some extent, the way they use them has not been able to innovate on their own. They are still copying the methods of Yongye military leader.

One is to throw large powder kegs directly. This requires a large-scale catapult with a small number. It can only be launched by a large-scale catapult mounted on the deck. It has a low hit rate and a short range, but it has great power. If a small and medium-sized warship is hit, one shot can seriously damage them.

One is to throw this kind of iron coated gunpowder pellet, which is shot by catapult with high speed and long distance, and its power is somewhat unsatisfactory. It is similar to a large-sized grenade. Moreover, it is not an impact explosion. It is ignited before ejection like a powder keg. It is troublesome and dangerous. If the throwing fails, it will blossom on your own ship.

Even so, the successful development of these two weapons is subversive to the sea battle mode of the East China Sea fleet, which is far more powerful than stones and catapults. It has changed from simple collision and boarding mode to the mixed mode of long-range artillery and close combat.That's what stumbin had in mind.

In the use of black powder, compared with Yongye army leader, they may be a few chips behind, but at least they are not without the strength to fight back.

Faced with the same situation, the different reactions of Yongye soldiers and Donghai soldiers doomed their different fates.

The soldiers in the East China Sea have been stunned by their hard work. The black powder and loose ammunition have already blossomed among them. The powerful explosive force has directly knocked them around. The iron sheet, which has been endowed with powerful kinetic energy by the black powder explosion, has exerted its full lethality to pirates without armour or thin armor.

Once shot to the heart, he will die on the spot.

Even if it is lucky to avoid the vital point, after splashing on the body, it will also leave a deep hole that can reach the bone. After being soaked by sea water and sweat, one by one, you will cry and shiver.

In contrast, Yongye soldiers have formed giant tortoise shells with tower shields. All the soldiers huddle behind. Powerful shock waves and splashing iron pieces smash on the tortoise shells, arousing a series of magic fluorescence.

Obviously, this kind of defense formation is not only physical defense, but also contains the elements of the technique, namely, coordinated defense.

In terms of defensive ability and stability, it has broken the upper limit of manpower.

A round of fierce gunpowder explosion just made them shake, far from collapse.

There are also some Yongye soldiers who have no time to retract the defensive formation, nor are they standing in a daze like the soldiers in the East China Sea.

Those who can find a shelter and those who don't have time to look for a shelter are also crawling on the ground, holding their heads in both hands, shrinking their bodies as much as possible, and using their own back to meet the explosion side. The whole body is also flashing with magic fluorescence, and they also start their own defense skills at the first time.

Correct posture, so that they greatly reduce the impact and sputtering surface, the probability of being hit is greatly reduced.

Compared with the soldiers in the East China Sea, the leading soldiers of Yongye army have rich experience in the aspect of firearm attack, and have carried out special training.

Even if there are occasional unfortunate attacks, as long as they are not directly hit by black powder, they are usually injured but not killed. After being weakened by defensive skills and armor, the lethality has been greatly reduced.

The black powder scatterers of the East China Sea Fleet vs the defensive formation of the Yongye army leader.

The defense formation of Yongye army leader was successful.

”Rescue!” The voice of the commander at the front line of Yongye army came from inside the defensive formation.

Hoo ha!

From the inside, the defense formation broke into parts and quickly and orderly. The friendly soldiers flashed by. If they were soldiers in the East China Sea, they rushed down to the ground without mending their swords. Instead, they crossed over them.

Behind them are countless unarmed comrades in action.

If the wounded comrades in arms are directly drawn into the defensive formation, if the enemy, as long as they have a tone, they will be able to make up for several sabres cleanly on the vital points.

Just seven or eight seconds before the arrival of the second wave of gunpowder volley of the East China Sea fleet.

The defense formation of Yongye army leader pushed forward more than 20 meters.

When the gunpowder of the second BIH came down, they were faced with a more well prepared defensive formation.

The results are the same as before.

The covering fire of the East China Sea Fleet did little damage to Yongye army leader.

On the contrary, it was the cannon fodder troops who landed on the shore, which brought disaster.

Every time they load ammunition, it is the attack time of the Yongye army leader's defensive formation. The card is extremely accurate because their commanders have opened up the Hawk Eye combat technology and pay close attention to every move of the East China Sea fleet.
