Warlord: King of All Clans
Chapter 589: Water Battle Outside the City
The sailors on both ships were able to see each other's faces clearly.
The sailors of the Beboos family raised their longbows and began to aim, and the tall javelin throwers also raised their javelins onto their shoulders.
The ship's tower, arrow tower, and even the mast were all filled with people, holding ropes in their hands, ready to jump on board and seize the ship at any time.
They shouted threats and ridiculed people as if they were hunting a group of lambs to be slaughtered.
Three ten-thousand-man cannons were indeed scary, but they also had high-level wizards in charge, and their sailors outnumbered the enemy by several times.
The Hewan soldiers on the three armed merchant ships actually performed in a similar way.
Except for the sailors who were already on the ship, all the other musketeers became weaklings and could not even stand steadily on the bumpy deck.
The captains of the musketeers pushed their soldiers hard and yelled at them to form a battle line, but the effect was very poor.
Only those nimble wild snipers could move as freely on the boat as on the trees.
Just then, the deck beneath their feet shook and the sound of cannons rang out again.
The nine-gate captains on the flanks of the three armed merchant ships opened fire one after another, spraying dense shotgun shells that instantly enveloped the hostile ships in front.
The sailors on the opposite side who were still shouting arrogantly were shot like sieves and were instantly defeated.
The people who were clinging to the warship like ants and preparing to board it fell into the water like dumplings, and streams of blood gushed out.
The close-range shooting of the thousand-man cannon and the grape lead bullets not only killed human bodies, but also penetrated the fenders on the warships. The sailors who were exposed would die if they were hit, and the soldiers hiding behind the bunkers were not much better off.
Boarding battle? Boarding battle? It doesn't exist.
With the support of the shotgun shells from the centurion's cannon, the musketeers on the deck slowly lined up and began the three-stage shooting that they had trained for a long time.
The dense gunfire rang out like firecrackers, and the speed at which dumplings were being unloaded on the opposite boat became even faster.
At this time, the high-level water mage hiding in the cabin of the warship made a new move. In the rolling river water, a huge water element made of river water slowly condensed into shape.
This water element was six meters tall, its lower body blended into the river water, while its upper body stretched out onto the deck of the armed merchant ship.
Its huge fist made of river water began to freeze into ice, and then smashed into the bow of the armed merchant ship.
The deck on one side of the bow suddenly exploded with wood chips and the frame collapsed. A full third of it collapsed, revealing a hole the size of half a cabin.
This armed merchant ship was the one where Marvin and Ivan were on board. Marvin, who was at the bow, was almost thrown off the deck by the violent collision.
Seeing the cannon on the bow of the ship cracking and almost falling into the water, he shouted angrily: "What are you all standing there for! Shoot it!"
Half of the artillerymen controlling the Ten Thousand Cannon had already fallen into the water, but the Ten Thousand had already finished reloading. The remaining artillerymen were also aroused by the roar of their commander, and they barely controlled the Ten Thousand Cannon, hitting it in the face of the water element and igniting the fire port.
With a loud bang, the Ten Thousand Captain's turret cracked and rolled backwards, while the shell flew several meters, piercing through the water element's chest and tearing a huge hole.
The artillerymen had no time to witness themselves using mortal strength to fight against high-level extraordinary creations before they were forced to jump off the deck and fall into the water by the loose and rolling barrels of the Ten Thousand-Man Cannon.
At this time, a green-skinned turtle ran out from the big hole smashed open by the water element, raising its hands and fleeing madly.
“Ahhhhhh!”
He ran around on the water, casting spells with his hands raised high. The soldiers who fell into the water were surprised to find that they were slowly floating to the surface and lying on the blue waves without sinking.
Totos the turtle elf also wants to watch the war, but Bad Leo won't let him!
Totos was very angry and hid secretly in the cargo hold of the merchant ship and has not shown up until now.
He is only one hundred and twenty years old now, an elf who has just reached adulthood. He has only learned magic forty to fifty years more than Freya, and can just cast intermediate-level spells instantly.
Without considering actual combat capabilities and only comparing spellcasting abilities, it is roughly the level of a high-level Shaman in the North.
He ran around on the water, instantly walking on water and rescuing all the soldiers who fell into the water.
The soldiers followed Totos, whose legs were too short to run fast, and ran towards the steam merchant ship that was coming to support them.
Because he was worried about his good friend, the snail elf Snell also followed and was peeking around in the big hole.
Seeing the river water rushing into the cabin frantically, Snell quickly cast a spell, causing thick vines to grow from the keels on both sides, weaving into cocoons and slowly repairing the hole.
The giant water element that was hit by the Centurion's close-range shot did not dissipate, but its movements were slightly slowed down, and the magic power in its body flowed, slowly repairing the hole.
Leo had already seen the situation here, and gave orders one after another. The flagship and another armed merchant ship ignored the encirclement of the surrounding warships, slowly adjusted their direction, and aimed at the warship where the high-level water mage was hiding.
The two sides were less than a hundred meters apart. For the large cannons of ten thousand men, this distance was equivalent to close shooting. If they still missed, then these elite artillerymen would be laid off.
With two cannon shots, two large holes were broken on the left and right of the ship of Miles, the commander of the Beboos navy, and the can was easily opened.
The huge water element's magical power also collapsed and it immediately disintegrated, turning back into river water and falling heavily into the water.
After eliminating the biggest threat, Leo saw that the opponent's long-range attack had been completely suppressed, so he let Strong continue to wave the flag.
On the cement barge a few hundred meters away, the Pegasus Knights were already ready for battle, and Deputy Captain Weir had been staring at Leo with a monocular telescope.
Seeing the command flag waving, she immediately turned around and shouted, "Everyone! Prepare to take off and fight!"
As he said this, he pulled up his flight goggles and jumped onto his Pegasus.
Behind her were another twenty-nine Pegasus knights, all of whom took off their flight goggles, pulled up their face scarves, and followed their deputy leader, riding their Pegasus for a run of more than ten meters on the deck of the cement barge, and then spread their wings and took off.
Four thirty-pound bombs were hung on the front and back of their Pegasus saddles!
Pegasus has a low load-bearing capacity, but it is a mid-level magical beast after all, equivalent to a heavy warhorse in the North.
Although it is not capable of carrying armored knights for long-distance flights, it is still capable of short-distance combat within an hour.
The Pegasus flew up to the battlefield like a group of white cranes, and flew low over the enemy warships. The knights saw the opportunity and untied the heavy bombs hanging in front of them.
The Pegasus suspension bomb was freed from the restraint of the buckle, and the ignition device of the fuse was also pulled.
A total of thirty bombs fell on the Beboos naval fleet.
Except for a small number of bombs that fell into the water and a small number of bombs that exploded in the air, most of the bombs landed accurately on the warships.
Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky, wood chips and iron blocks flew everywhere, and even the waist-thick mast was shattered by the close-range explosion, and slowly collapsed under the pull of canvas and cables.
The towers of many warships were destroyed, and the hull of one warship was broken, and river water poured in, causing it to slowly sink.
More than 80% of the naval warships had trouble even protecting themselves, let alone continuing to hunt armed merchant ships.
While the battle was fierce on the river, the cement barge behind, with the help of towing the steam sailboat, slowly approached the river bank.
The sailors pulled the capstan, reeled in the cables, and connected ten large cement barges together.
These cement barges were like large flat-bottomed bathtubs, with two floors of cabins built with wooden boards, crammed with all the supplies and half of the River Bend Legion's troops.
By the time the sampan pontoon was laid on the river bank, the soldiers on it had already organized the landing team.
