Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

The steel icebreaker was operating at full load under the full load of the magic power instrument, and was moving forward at full speed on the frozen river surface while the night was dark. From time to time, you could hear the sound of Titicaca when the bow of the boat crashed into the brittle and thin floating ice.

The river channel from Grizzly Castle to the south is getting wider and wider. In addition, the moon shines on the snow on the river bank at winter night, reflecting light that is enough to point out the direction for night sailing, so there is no need to worry about the ship hitting the shore and hitting the reef.

Although there are many villages and towns along the way on both sides of the river, no one noticed that three ghostly sailing boats would quietly sail across the river that was frozen in the cold night of winter.

On the afternoon of the next day, the armored ship arrived at the scheduled combat site earlier than Harvey had expected.

There were only a little floating ice floating on the water surface, and the fog was rippling. Here was the Ralph River, which divided two tributaries - one to the south to the Port of Montenegro, and the other to the west through Fengyuan City and directly to the Jinhui City, the capital of Saint Valen. .

The sky was covered with sparse snow, which made the entire Sancha River section very low visibility.

After the ship docked, Pierce summoned all the middle and lower-level officers to start arranging them in full swing.

"The enemy's fleet came from the river in the direction of Fengyuan City, so our main force needs to be guarded on both sides of the strait." He pointed to the spread out map and simply drew the position of ambush in advance. "Your mission is to prevent the enemy from abandoning the ship. When you land, you must cut off their retreat on the river, so you must hide it first and then close the door and beat the dog after they pass..."

The troops that went out to fight with Pierce this time were the battalion led by Wayne, and he naturally shouldered the main task of blocking the enemy on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. "Commander, I don't quite understand..."

Wayne scratched his head and said in confusion: "It's okay for us to ambush on both sides of the straits, but let the enemy's fleet go over. What if they don't dock at all, they go straight to Sancha Town?"

Pierce sneered and took out three coins from his arms to represent three armored ships. Two of them were placed at the southward junction of the Sancha River section, and the remaining one was in the position where they were currently mooring. .

"The two armored ships guard the southern river section, they can't get through..." Pierce then looked at the artillery team and gave a concise command, "The fourth group of artillery team stayed on the ship to take charge of the naval guns, and the other four groups landed on the shore with the ambush team. ”

In this way, when the enemy fleet officially sails into the three forks of the Ralph River, it is equivalent to falling into a three-sided trap arranged in advance. When sailing south, you will be directly blocked by two armored ships. Although there is only one armored ship in the north, it cannot travel too fast when going upstream, and it is easier to become a living target for the gun crew.

Of course, if the enemy turns around and flees or abandons the ship directly, the artillery teams lying on both sides of the estuary of the western section can play a role. With such a close-range artillery can hit the sailboats sailing in the middle of the river with almost closed eyes.

...

Unexpectedly, Grand Duke Ralph's fleet arrived at the Sancha River estuary half a day later than Pierce expected. It was not until the evening of the second day when they set up an ambush that eight medium-sized sailboats slowly appeared in the west of Sancha River. reach.

The artillery team leader Bobcat, who received the news, immediately issued a preparatory order to the river bank artillery group he was responsible for, and the two gun groups on both sides of the river bank immediately took action.

"These guys are really slower than turtles..." Wayne picked up his sight glass and poked his head out of the trench on the shore and looked into the river.

After they landed on the shore and arranged the fortifications, they thought they would see the enemy's traces early the next morning. But who knew that the other party was late and the soldiers were gritting their teeth in the trench in the snow and ice for more than half a day .

The cannonboy came over and whispered to Wayne, "If Commander Pierce gave the order, my riverbank gun team would be able to hit these turtles floating on the river now. The distance was too close to no need to be accurate. aim……"

Wayne rolled his eyes and scolded, "Who dares to fire the fire easily without orders? Besides, there are four cannons on the river bank, and there are eight ships opposite, two of them are still sandwiched in the middle. No matter how powerful your shell is, can it be. Can you directly penetrate the entire ship and hit the one sandwiched in the middle?”

The bobcat scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

Compared with ordinary North Army soldiers holding magic guns, members of the artillery team who are already skilled in controlling magic power cannons are obviously more confident in the weapons in their hands. Ordinary soldiers still need to worry about their shooting accuracy at all times. When encountering emergencies and encounters, they have to occasionally install bayonets to fight with the enemy in close combat. The bloody and cruel battle also tests their courage.

But artillery is different. The powerful power brought by magic power cannons and the special attack method that can kill enemies at a very long distance have long lost the tension brought by fighting. They only need to memorize them during repeated operation and training. The prescribed actions are to load shells according to the prescribed process, aim at the target according to the prescribed process, fire and shoot according to the prescribed process, and then win.

Especially when the River Valley Outpost Round is stationed against the evil orcs, the enemy is obviously a strong and powerful human-shaped beast. They only need to stay at the fortress and repeat the steps of reloading and firing, and it will be over in half an hour. In a battle, the intensity and fatigue of the battle are even worse than the marching around the territory during training.

...

"Received the preparatory attack order!"

"Reload ammunition!"

The gun team positions on the river bank immediately became busy. The preparation steps have been practiced and practiced too many times. The artillery soldiers can stuff the shells into the ammunition compartment with their eyes closed, and then remove the ammunition insurance within five seconds without considering the shooting angle. In the case, a flat shot can be completed in thirty seconds.

But the bobcat had not waited for the firing order sent by Pierce, the commander on the armored ship.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

The Grand Duke Ralph's fleet had slowly passed by them and officially entered the Sancha River estuary. Compared with the multi-masted sailing ships sailing on the sea, the Heyun sailing hull was much smaller in size and was even lower in When the winds weaken in winter, a team of sailors sit on both sides of the deck, struggling to slide the oars in their hands.

Battalion Commander Wayne was also a little anxious and whispered to the Bobcat, "What's going on? Does the commander want us to let them go..."

Before he could finish his words, a loud roar suddenly sounded on the originally calm river surface... After less than a few seconds, two dull roars exploded like muffled thunder.

The gun crew located on the armored icebreaker took the lead in firing!

Wayne and Bobcats picked up the lookglass at the same time to lock the target on the river, and then could hardly believe their eyes - the enemy was driving on the deck of a sailboat in the first place and suddenly two black smoke rose, and the flames suddenly appeared in the middle deck fragments. He and his broken limbs and broken arms were scattered. The sailors who were thrusting against the paddlings were hit by the flower bullet and suffered heavy casualties. Blood and internal organs flowed freely on the entire deck.

The bobcat also clearly saw from the lookglass that a knight in a well-armored manner was blown away directly onto the sail mast, but only his upper body was left.

"Vomit~" The artillery team leader couldn't help but retching, in return for the disdainful sneer of the battalion commander Wayne next to him.
