Chapter 280 Chishui River Ambush (Part 1)

7days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
The enemy fleet approached the Chishui River fork for a while longer than expected, and it was not until the afternoon four days later that ten sailboats slowly appeared at the end of their sight.

Vanne, who received the news, passed through six compartments in turn, issued preparatory orders to the gun team he was responsible for, and then returned to his gun position.

Where is the enemy?Rodney lifted a thin slit of the window bezel and looked out.

At least several hundred meters away from us, the cat claws, who were responsible for observing the signal flag, muttered on the skylight, "I can't even see their shadows here, there are too many weeds on the roof."

In addition to the shooting window, each compartment also has a hole in the top position against the wall.Climb up the two-stage earth stairs to easily see the situation on the Chishui River.

Speaking of weeds, the ability of the green-haired witch was incredible. The pomelo peel wiped the rusty cannon trajectory. Wherever she went, the thin grass grew like hair, covering the bunkers tightly, looking no different from ordinary earthblocks.

What green-haired witch, Vanna scolded, that was Miss Ye Zi.When she first fought against the Duke Knights, she helped us lay vines in the woods on both sides, making it impossible for the knights to circumvent.Otherwise, those cans of iron will be able to walk behind through the woods.

If it is more magical, which witch is ordinary?Rodney shrugged, building a bunker overnight, allowing vines and weeds to cover the ground, able to fly freely in the sky, and even transform into a huge dove, aren't something that ordinary people can do.

The most amazing thing is that I chose Miss Nanava. The tone of Cat Paw is full of longing and expectation. I wonder if I will be gloriously hurt this time.If you are injured, you can see her up close, and maybe you can hear her comfort.

Pay attention to the enemy situation!Vannah frowned and shouted, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will punish you to go back and clean the toilet!"

The cat paw stuck out his tongue and poked out his body.

The artillery captain sighed in his heart. Now these guys have lost their tension and will no longer be as trembling as they were when they first arrived at the battlefield a few months ago.

He couldn't say whether this change was good or bad. He always felt that he was too contemptuous of his opponents, but he could not severely scold his subordinates, because he was also not much better. Since becoming His Highness's soldier, Vanne's understanding of battle had undergone earth-shaking changes: the bloody and cruel fight seemed to have nothing to do with strength, skills, and courage. They just need to repeat the steps they memorized during training, prepare according to the charter, face the enemy according to the charter, and fire according to the charter to win.

Especially when the town was fighting against the new king's militia, the opponent was obviously a human-shaped beast with amazing strength and fearlessness, but the battle lasted only half an hour before it ended.

When he was cleaning the battlefield, he realized that he didn't even feel tired, as if he had just done a warm-up exercise before training and the enemy was defeated.

If this continues, will one day the battle will become invisible to the enemy? Just operate these metal machines and you can annihilate the enemy thousands of miles away?

Just as Vannah was thinking about it, the Cat Paw's warning pulled him back.

I saw the enemy!

Fill in ammunition!Vanna shook his head, threw away his distracting thoughts, and ordered in a deep voice.

The compartment suddenly became busy. This step has been practiced too many times. Now everyone can stuff the medicine bag and shells into the barrel with their eyes closed.

Without considering resetting and adjusting the firing angle, the gun team can fire once in twenty breaths.

The combat plan arranged by His Highness Roland and Lord Iron Axe Vanagi had already memorized it and was similar to the defense war in the border town. Only when the observer saw Miss Lightning's red flag could he push down the camouflage baffle in front of the cannon window and fire.

The No. 1 and No. 2 gun teams closest to the river bank swept the deck with shotguns, while the rest bombarded the cabin with solid bombs.

He quietly waited for the arrival of the red signal flag.

……

Now without using a look glass, Lian can see that the pseudo-king's fleet is approaching the ambush site little by little.

Compared with the three-masted or four-masted sailboats sailing on the sea, these ships are obviously much thinner, without high sidewalks and fences, and the low hull looks like it is close to the river at first glance.

In addition to the bulging sails, there were also a row of sailors sitting on each side of the deck, slowly pushing the paddles in their hands.

Until this time, His Highness the Prince still issued no orders.

She couldn't help but feel a little anxious and observed that the place was set up at the top of a higher hillside. Although it could overlook the entire battlefield, it was also far from the river.

Now Lightning and Maisie are not around His Highness. Including the time it takes to send orders to the various teams, it may be too late to stop the fleet from passing through the fork in Chishui River.

Seeing that the sailboat in the front was about to pass through the earthen house, Lian couldn't help but ask, a loud bang suddenly rolled across the river.

As if an attack signal was issued, more than a dozen thick smoke mixed with fire lights were sprayed out in the earthen house, and the dull thunder sounded endlessly.

What exactly happened?

Lian turned her eyes back to the river, and then she could hardly believe that her eyes had not seen any fighting knights or mercenaries, but the deck of the first sailboat seemed to suddenly explode.

The wood chips and broken limbs and broken arms splashed everywhere, and the sailors who were rocking the oars were killed or injured in an instant, and a mass of blood mist rose up, dyeing the deck a scarlet red.

After losing half of the power, the ship's advance slowed down quickly, and the roar did not stop at all.

Not long after, the mast standing tall in the center of the hull was cut off half by a ball of bounced shadows. After shaking it twice, it landed on the ground, smashing two knights who had just crawled out of the cabin onto the deck.

Driven by the current, the sailboat began to slowly retreat, and the other ships had to scatter and avoid. Many people heard the movement and crawled out of the cabin, looking blankly at the leading sailboat that had become hell, looking a little at a loss.

Then a terrifying blow landed on the second ship.

The dense deck made the blood mist even more surging. Lian could see that after the rolling thunder, several bright red open spaces appeared among the enemies that were originally close to each other, and the unlucky guy standing in the open space was interrupted into several pieces. Some people were not dead, dragging the flowing intestines and howling in pain.

Others who survived by chance jumped into the river to escape, and were no longer willing to stay on this terrifying deck.

She finally understood what Your Highness said that they couldn't get over it, but... how did his subordinates do this?
