Law of the Devil Chapter 594: [Crash! 】
Chapter 594 [Ban! 】
At noon, the defenders of the eastern fortress quickly responded. The imperial troops of the two divisions sped out of the city and came to the river bank. Then the small fleet stationed at the water village dock in the city immediately passed the guide. The ditch drove out of the pier and came to the river bank.
Whether it is doubt or surprise. But the unquestionable fact in front of them is that those savage racial forces really want to attack the eastern fortress! Do they ... want to forcibly cross the river? !!
The battle started immediately after noon. In terms of charges, the two orcs of the death squads, regardless of the human archers on the other side, had rushed up, carrying huge pieces of wood, trying to build a pontoon on the river.
The orcs were bare-chested, and even gave up their armor for the sake of dexterity. Instead, they only held a large wooden board to block arrows while running.
Human archers lined up along the river bank on the south bank of the river, trying to stop the other side from building a pontoon on the opposite bank. The arrows were flying like locusts flying across the sky. Arrows were everywhere on the north bank. Ya, those orcs who dare to run against the wooden planks are working under the dense arrow rain. From time to time, the orcs are shot by the arrows, and they make several screams. The furry soles trampled back and forth on the river bank, and the black soil on the ground had gradually become red with blood.
After an hour, the orc paid the price of hundreds of casualties, and finally built a simple pier about ten meters wide on the opposite bank.
At this time, the archer on the other side has begun to recede. The commander-in-chief of the human army is the deputy of General Rostock, the deputy head of the Storm Corps, and the supreme commander of the eastern fortress Dominguez.
At the moment. The 46-year-old general personally led the snipers on the south bank with the troops of the two divisions, and leaning against the eastern fort, the heavy engineers were nervously carrying out the large ordnance in the city, one by one the catapults He was also pushed to the shore and began to blast towards the other side of the river.
Then the empire's warships also sailed above the river, and eight empire sea soul-class warships lined up on the river. Closely linked, the ship's crossbow gun fired at the orcs on the north shore.
With the addition of warships, the loss of the orcs increased greatly. In less than half an hour, the beasts on the north bank shoal had almost covered the bank, and the sailors on board picked up their crossbows and fired on the north bank.
For a time, humans had the upper hand.
The pier built by the orcs on the north shore. It was collapsed twice by a trebuchet, but these orcs seemed to be iron-hearted and wanted to cross the river here. After the two collapses, despite the death and injuries, they sent a large number of daredevil teams to rebuild. There were corpses, broken arrows, and logs falling on the ground.
Seeing how human warships blocked the river, General Dominguez was full of doubts ... seeing this. It is impossible for the enemy to cross the river here ... Are they deliberately sent to death?
From the point of view of the enemy, the dense orc army on the other side is afraid that at least another 100,000 troops will send out so many troops, apparently to attack here.
On the battleship, the sailors fired crossbow guns frantically, watching the orcs on the other side keep falling and shooting huge crossbow arrows. The strong penetrating power can often shoot three or five orcs at the same time, just like a string of sugar gourds.
The sailors roared excitedly, watching the enemies on the other side fall in rows under the attack of the invincible warships of the empire, and the bows and arrows in their hands were struggling to shoot. Many soldiers even tried hard when they were excited. Too fierce, even the thumb of the bow was cut to blood.
The orcs still didn't give up. The bridge pier was firmly nailed to the north shore by the nearly crazy suicide of thousands of orc warriors. Countless pieces of wood have been strengthened, and they are facing the crazy bombardment of human beings.
And this time. Dominguez has quickly sent people to the city to mobilize the air force.
A large group of about 150 bombing airships was stationed in the eastern fortress. At this time, as the orc army on the other side was under pressure, General Dominguez immediately remembered the advantages of the airships, and the orc queues were dense. It's on a flat and open field again, this time not bombing, what time is it?
The battle continued until the afternoon. It seemed that the orcs were not cheap at all. The human soldiers were trapped in an atmosphere of extreme fanaticism and joy. In most people's eyes, most of these orcs were out of mind. Run here to kill me stupidly.
But at this moment, the situation changed suddenly!
On top of the river, eight empire sea soul-class warships were lined up. However, although this river was excavated by the empire a lot of human and material resources several times before the war, after all, these warships Originally navy warships. Huge warships were originally reluctant to travel on this river. Therefore, since the beginning of the war, the largest empire and the Neptune-class warships have not entered the river. Only these small and medium-sized sea soul-class warships of the Imperial Navy can Even though this is the case when driving on the river, eight sea-soul-class ships line up on the river, and they seem to be slightly crowded.
The fleet is tightly packed together, almost end to end. The warship fired hard and fired towards the North Shore, but did not know that the disaster had come! !!
The accident happened under extremely sudden circumstances!
The line-up of the fleet, the flagship is in the bottom third position, the commander of the fleet is an imperial navy veteran who has participated in two South Ocean expeditions. And in the fervent atmosphere of the sailors on the ship, suddenly, a dull boom came from under the water!
Bang! !!
This sound is like a heavy hammer hitting a wooden board, and then the hull immediately shakes violently a few times. Before the crowd reacts, the warship has tilted seriously towards the left!
Then I heard the sound of underwater collisions, and the terrible sound of chipping wood. After the hull was tilted, the sailors on the ship screamed in panic, and many people fell into the water, and at this time. Someone has come to report below, the cabin below the waterline has been smashed!
"Below! They are underwater !!!"
The captain immediately issued an order. The sailors picked up their bows and arrows and strove to shoot underwater, but across the water, the bows and arrows lost most of their power. Some sailors set up crossbow guns and turned towards the water in a turning direction.
Water warfare in this era lacks the ability to counterattack underwater. And some brave sailors. After getting the sergeant's order, it was too late to take off his clothes, grabbed the short knife and bit it in his mouth, and then plunged into the river, diving into the water.
A row of sailors jumped into the water bravely, and the scene seemed to fall into a brief silence for a moment. The hull still tilted, but the sound of the underwater collision seemed to stop. Many people flocked to the boat and looked down.
However, none of them jumped out of the sailor biting their sword.
After a while, someone exclaimed. Between the water surface, a stream of red blood rose from below, just like a beautiful red flower blooming on the water!
Then, suffocating bubbles everywhere on the water. The people on board were in a strange tension.
More brave sailors, took off their boots, bit their knives in their mouths, and jumped into the water ...
Then, suddenly, there was a violent collision sound underwater, and I saw a sudden puff of water bursting out from under the river! There were countless **** waters in the water splash. Gushing up, there were also some terrible broken arms and broken bodies! !!
With a scream of exclamation, a wailing sound was heard from the underwater hull. The sailor who was struggling to block the damage in the cabin did not have time to escape, but in a roar, watching the hull suddenly break open. !!
The icy river water poured in frantically, and the sailors under the cabin were suddenly obliterated.
The hull broke off from the middle and the bow immediately rose up. The sailors and officers standing on the bow of the ship fell into the water.
This time. Finally, the underwater enemies showed their faces. A few giant monsters covered with oily fur and faintly flesh-red flickered their heads out of the water, the huge earthy heads, the blood spouting, and the roar.
There are more than a dozen of these monsters, each of which is at least five meters away. It is among the orc races, which are good at water-based hippo orcs.
These hippo orcs are huge in size and terrifying in strength. After diving into the water, each hippo orc also grabbed a huge hammer!
The flagship of the human fleet was immediately broken by the under attack of several hippos orcs!
The sudden collapse of the flagship immediately caused the entire fleet to panic. The general of the fleet had fallen into the water before the final order was issued. Hippo orcs, still lurking in the water, wantonly hunted down human sailors who fell into the water.
Although these sailors are excellent sailors who have fought against the waves in the sea, no matter how good the human beings are, they are no match for this natural underwater race. Coupled with the huge body of hippopotamus orcs, barbaric power, the underwater sailors quickly died, one by one was hanged or even swallowed by hippos.
This is the scheme of the sinners. On the North Shore, a large number of orcs were deliberately sent to build pontoon bridges, and attracted the human fleet to the water. The hippopotamus orc quietly launched from the upstream, down the river, lurking in the water, ambushing the human fleet in one fell swoop.
Human warships responded immediately after being attacked. On top of each other, those brave sailors did not fear underwater monsters, and even some martial arts officers took the lead to take off their clothes. , Jumped into the water with a short knife.
However, above the water surface, a soldier with a broken human warrior constantly emerged. For a time, blood was seen everywhere on the wide river!
The war is still going on. Human warships have been attacked one by one. After paying a lot of casualties, the soldiers of the navy finally helplessly recognize the fact that they have no way to attack these monsters underwater. After the flagship was sunk, another warship was sunk soon.
Then the fleet began to issue flags one by one: retreat!
It does n’t make sense to stay on the river anymore, but let the soldiers die in vain.
But at this time, they want to retreat, they can't do it!
After all, the river is still a bit narrow. The fleet is lined up on the river. The dense formations are crowded together. At this time, I want to retreat, but in chaos, I ca n’t even turn around! Several large ships crowded together, and even collided with each other. Hippo orcs madly devoured the lives of sailors under water. More hippos orcs killed their tempers and emerged from the water, trying to attack humans on the deck. However, this kind of hot-headed behavior finally brought casualties to the hippo orcs.
If they are underwater, human warships have nothing to do, but once they surface, the sailors immediately pick up bows and arrows and even crossbows to fight back.
Although the hippo orcs are thick and thick, they can't stand the attack of the crossbow guns. With a few howls, several hippo orcs are shot by the crossbow guns and passed down in the water. Go on.
On the river, in the chaos, human warships crowded one by one, wanting to enter but not retreating. The sinking of the flagship brought confusion to the commander, and the river was not only narrow, but even the depth of the water was far from the sea!
Some of the damaged warships sank for a little while the remaining half still floated on the water, but they just blocked the river!
