Chapter 2726 A hundred years of loneliness (twenty-three)
"Oh my God!" Verne, who had excellent eyesight, was naturally the first to exclaim: "The church has been planning a large-scale siege of this scale from the very beginning? Seriously?"
"Probably didn't receive the regular contact from the owl. Knowing that the [big fish] was caught, the fleet guarding the [inn] rushed out." Arthur said: "However, twenty-one. I'm really overrated."
Assuming that each ship has the same configuration as the enemy encountered before, then there are two Papal Knights and five Papal Crusaders on board; then twenty-one ships have a total of forty-two Papals The patriarchal knights and one hundred and five Holy See crusaders can be said to be a mighty army.
Such a large army is only to destroy Arthur and his party. How horrible. If these guys are allowed to land smoothly, no matter how brave and skilled Arthur's companions are, they will definitely be overwhelmed by the opponent's crowd tactics!
Therefore, [preemption] and [preventing the opponent from landing] are the keys to this battle. The only advantage Arthur and the others currently have is that the opponent doesn't know that they are lurking here. The enemy fleet thought that Arthur and his party would stay overnight in Bastia, Corsica, thinking that they could ambush Arthur, but they never thought that Arthur had gone around this place to ambush!
"Indeed, confirmed! The sails are indeed the coat of arms of the Holy See!" Verne added: "They are all here to trouble us!"
"Bedy, get your Fenrir Golem ready." Arthur instructed: "Verne, how fast can your [Legion---Guns] burst?"
"Six golems salvo, and then, um, I don't know, there's about ten seconds of reload time, and then another six salvos." The boy was a little flustered.
"Calm down." Arthur said dispassionately: "After the war, I will use the [Winged Angel] to protect you. You don't have to worry about the defense, you can attack in an all-round way. I will use the [Winged Angel] for the enemy's artillery shells. Angel] to block them all."
Even if it is impossible to attack from this distance, Arthur's [Legion---Winged Angel] still has an automatic defense mode, which can protect allies. The Holy See's fleet only has the very ancient artillery of this era as a long-range attack method. They may be able to shoot bows and arrows, but they certainly can't shoot far. Arthur's side has an absolute advantage in firepower and defense, and they can also attack first! As long as the Holy See fleet is annihilated as soon as possible and the enemy is not allowed to approach the island, Arthur and the others will never lose!
To completely destroy the opposing fleet, at least four waves of attack are required. After six rounds, there is a 20-second reload time. Not counting the time for the first sneak attack, the total time for four waves of attack is at least one minute. And every blow must sink a ship.
This plan seems unrealistic.
The other party is now heading downwind at full speed. The speed is very fast, and it is close enough to the island to have a threatening distance within a minute. If Verne doesn't sink a ship with one hit, at least five or six ships will land in the worst-case scenario. That is still a sea of tactics, and Arthur's side will be very disadvantageous.
But wait, since the other party is coming downwind, it also means------
"Change of plan, Verne." Arthur instructed: "Don't attack the hull, aim at the sail and shoot. First numb the enemy's movements."
"If you don't give priority to sinking the ship, they will fire cannon fire?"
"[Winged Angels] will stop them all." Arthur said, "Bedy will take care of the dead boats. You just focus on breaking more sails. If you do, use A large crossbow can smash the sails of two or three ships in one go, can you do that too?"
"Maybe."
"Try it! ... Anyway, let's start the battle!"
Whoosh whoosh! ! As soon as the voice fell, six large crossbow arrows flew out. Arthur thought that Verne would have to wait for the ship to get closer before he could attack, but he did not expect to start fighting at this distance. The six crossbow arrows were raised at a forty-five-degree angle, drawn a long arc in the air, and finally fell on the sails of the Holy See fleet! From this distance Arthur couldn't see what was going on at all, but he could vaguely see that the sails of the boats had broken!
The first wave of attacks was so beautiful, the local fleet was thrown into chaos in an instant, they didn't even know what was going on, and they didn't even know who was attacking them from that angle.
Yes. Surrounded by the vast sea, it is so far away from the only island in the fleet. How could they have imagined that a crossbow bolt would hit the fleet from such a distance and destroy their sails!
[Gun Formation] begins to reload. Such a large and powerful crossbow bolt naturally takes a long time to reload; the golem probably also needs time to recharge before it can launch a super long-distance crossbow bolt sniper.
Arthur could have done a little more work on these bolts to make them even more lethal. But the other party's fleet was not close enough to find Arthur and others. In order not to expose himself, Arthur decided to continue to wait.
And Bedivere has summoned [Legion---Wolf King], jumped on the back of [Fenrir's Golem] in an instant, and walked on the waves. He can reach the local fleet in tens of seconds to cause chaos!
About four boats with broken masts were left behind in the fleet, and the rest of the fully functional sailboats continued to advance and approached the island further!
The [Gun Formation] was reloaded, and Verne had already adjusted the firing angle of the spear array during the reloading process. As soon as they were reloaded, they shot large crossbow arrows, and another wave of arrows poured into the enemy formation!
Clap la la la la! Due to the proximity, Arthur could clearly hear the mast of the opposite fleet being broken and the deck being knocked through. Well done Verne! The second wave of crossbow bolts precisely knocked all four sailboats out of action at the same time!
Reload again! The other party has also completely discovered Arthur's small movements and began to prepare to counterattack. Naturally, Arthur didn't need to hide anymore. He used [Alchemy Gloves] to enchant the arrows of the loaded crossbow with [Flame], and they burned up and turned into a brilliance like fishing fire in the night!
Bang bang bang! There was a big wave of cannonballs, the old-fashioned, heavy, solid shot put! But they are too heavy, and the other party is too anxious to counterattack. Their parabola is completely wrong, and they fall into the sea halfway, and they can't threaten Arthur's side at all!
A well-functioning ship is split in two, presumably by Bedivere. Chaos began to spread among the enemy lines. The church army probably didn't expect that there would be a big metal wolf wandering back and forth in the sea, chiseling their ship!
[Gun Formation] is reloaded again! This time its arrows are burning with blazing fire! Six bright fires streaked across the night sky, turned into destructive bolides, and fell into the group of ships that were as powerless as lambs.
The fire burns and spreads at an alarming rate. Verne was a smart kid who understood the intention of his master the moment King Arthur lit the arrow and knew where to aim. It is obviously not enough to stop a ship with a single shot of a crossbow. It is necessary to use the fire to put multiple sailboats in trouble, so as to maximize the "enemy control ability" of the crossbow! A flaming crossbow fell between the two broken ships, pierced the sail of one of the ships, set it on fire, fell on the deck of the other ship, and set the deck on fire, so that the two ships Can't act anymore. Another flaming crossbow hit the mast of another ship, and what broke it sent the flaming mast smashing into another ship next to it, setting that ship on fire! The other four arrows generally knocked out the sails and/or masts of the three ships, rendering them incapacitated!
So far, the large fleet of 21 ships of the Holy See has been abolished by 16 ships! No, seventeen! Under another violent impact, the Warg Golem Fenrir broke another warship in the middle! But the remaining four sailboats also rushed towards the island with all their strength. They not only used sails, but also sprinted with all their oars to accelerate the sprint and approached at extreme speed!
"Oops! Too late to reload...!" Verne growled, in a hurry.
"Patience! Get them close first!" Arthur shouted. A large wave of shells came from the four ships, as well as from other ships that had not been sunk. [Legion---Winged Angel] appeared, and instantly set up his wings to form a defensive formation!
dong dong dong dong dong! ! A large number of cannonballs landed near the cliff, smashing pits on the hard cliff! But the cannonballs that can actually threaten the King of Knights and the others are actually very few. The winged angel knights golems rushed up to parry directly with their wings, and successfully blocked the threatening parabolic artillery bombardment! On the ship, the enemy's attack method is only shelling, which is the biggest miscalculation of the Pope's Knights!
Arthur did not forget to add enchantments to the crossbow arrows of [Gun Formation] when he blocked the opponent's attack, but this time he did not use [Flame], but [Deep Cold]! The crossbow bolt glowing with frost-white light has a coldness close to absolute zero. If it hits the opponent, I am afraid that even the enemy's flesh and blood will freeze instantly!
"You know what I'm going to do, right?" Arthur hummed.
"Understood." Verne smiled, a smile full of intelligence.
------Reverse your mind!
Reloaded, but the turret needs to be charged to shoot far and powerful~IndoMTL.com~ so normally it must wait for it to be fully charged before launching the next wave of attacks! But if Verne's target wasn't an enemy ship at all, that's another story!
Arthur said only to stop the enemy's ship from approaching, but he did not say that he must hit the enemy's ship! Use other means to make it impossible for the other party to get close, will it be good soon!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! ! Six large-scale siege bolts enchanted with deep cold were fired in a row. Because they were not fully charged, they were not powerful enough, and they didn't fly far, so there was no threat to the fleet at all!
But they drew a high parabola and landed directly on the sea surface, freezing the sea water the moment it touched it, forming a natural iceberg next to the island! The iceberg is also expanding at an alarming rate, because the "absolute freezing" on the deep cold enchantment has excellent transferability in water!
The huge glacier wall covered with sharp ice spikes, formed by natural freezing and crystallisation, grew and formed in seconds, perfectly blocking the sprinting trajectory of the fleet!
The four sailboats that rushed in desperately, paddling at the highest speed, thought they could escape the sniper, but they did not expect to crash into the death trap set by the opponent!
