Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 286: Offensive and defensive battle and the first blood
Boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
The battlefield at the mouth of the sea was filled with gunpowder, and a cyan cloud had almost formed over the bastion.
The fierce battle between more than a thousand defenders of a bastion and five large species has been going on for a long time, even if only a few tens of minutes have passed, but to the defenders, it seems like a year.
In the battle, the five large species have all revealed their true faces in front of the garrison:
"Skeleton Moray", "Iron Armored Seahorse", "Great Hammer Mantis Shrimp", "Water Cannon Humpback Whale" and a faint "ghost shrimp".
With one enemy and five, in any case, it is an extremely difficult battle.
Even if the bastion has crossfire power comparable to that of battleships, it is still stretched to face the siege of five large species.
The only good news is that the bastion was built in the middle of a promontory protruding from the sea. The solid land opened a sufficient defensive distance between the defenders and the sea monsters.
No matter where the sea monsters attack from, they must finally launch a landing operation to destroy the extremely strong bastion, which also creates opportunities for the artillery to give full play to the power of the artillery.
If the bastion is replaced by a battleship with the same firepower configuration, even if the "Song of the Sea Monster" can pull the sea monster into the plane battlefield, the battleship must have sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Although it was very difficult, the bastion finally persisted.
It's just hard to say how long you can hold on.
Among the five sea monsters, the "iron armored seahorse" that has no limbs and the "ghost shrimp" that almost melts into the sea water and will be forgotten, are obviously used as a defensive force to control the sea surface, and the threat to the bastion is temporarily not counted. Too big.
In fact, they themselves hide far away, just restraining the entrance to the sea with horns.
Even the nature of transcendent creatures cannot allow them to break through the limitations of their respective physiological structures to complete landing operations. Even if they are forced to land, they will only become living targets for bastions.
However.
Among the remaining three large species, except for the "skeleton moray", which has the most violent temperament and was driven into the sea by artillery fire several times, and the colorful heavy carapace, it looks like an iron-clad train. In addition to the "Great Hammer Mantis Shrimp" waiting for opportunities outside, there is also a particularly difficult guy among the sea monsters.
Shoo! call out! call out!
"Large Species·Water Cannon Humpback Whale", its appearance is somewhat similar to the sea monster form of "Tide Shepherd" Tiinkut.
Bone armor wraps its huge head, but a long bony "cannon tube" extends from the normal whale's nostrils.
This "bone cannon" can fire powerful compressed "water cannonballs" at a rate of four rounds per minute. Both the lethality and the rate of fire are equal to the combined force of two 32-pound guns.
If this kind of compressed "water cannonball" hits the outer wall of the bastion, the bastion that was originally created to deal with the bombardment is of course not afraid. The thick rammed earth layer will absorb the kinetic energy of the "cannonball" by itself.
But if it is flying to the second turret, it has to be treated with caution. As long as a water cannon ball falls, it will cause huge damage to the gunner.
Fortunately, not only ordinary soldiers are guarding here, but also a third-tier knight, Major General Coverdale!
Faced again with the "water cannonballs" that roared.
"Drink!"
Because it was a land defense battle, the major general who had put on his full-covered heavy armor and held a big sword and a pure steel kite-shaped shield uttered a loud shout for the first time.
【Extraordinary Upanishad·Iron Wall! 】
The great knight was surrounded by blazing flames of fighting spirit, brandishing his sword and shield and moving quickly on the second floor platform, blocking most of the "water cannonballs" that hit.
Of course, even a Tier 3 knight cannot use his body to block a high-density water ball that is as powerful as a heavy artillery.
The major general mainly used the smooth surface of the heavy shield to deflect the water ball. It is not too difficult to do this with the extraordinary power and control skills of the great knight.
However, even if the major general made no omissions, everyone knows that this is not a long-term solution.
The crossfire of the bastion is of course stronger than that of a sea monster, but this "water cannon humpback whale" has a farther range than human artillery!
In addition.
The infrasound wave emitted by "Song of the Sea Monster" has a low frequency and a long wavelength, so it can bypass large obstacles and cause diffraction everywhere. It is hardly absorbed by water and air, and is not easily attenuated. It is an excellent underwater weapon.
But after all, there is a power limit, and it is impossible to have the same lethality no matter how far away.
In the final test report of "Newin Harbor", "Song of the Sea Monster" has a certain lethality and interference for large sea monsters, and it needs the cooperation of plural "Song of Sea Monsters" to achieve expectations. Target.
Therefore, it is impossible to hope that "Song of the Siren" can kill large species directly and remotely.
As long as they do not actively approach, there is no problem in floating on the sea for a short time to minimize the influence of infrasound waves.
This also made the defenders on the bastion have no good way to deal with the long-range attacking "whale", and even to avoid heavy casualties to the defenders, even the top commander and the only great knight Coverdale The major general also had to be exhausted.
His! hiss! hiss!
In the gap between the launch of the "water cannonball", the "skeleton moray" exhausted its patience and pounced again, using its powerful body to swim fast on the land like a snake, and rushed towards a "convex" in the bastion. Corner Fort".
"Fire!"
Boom! boom! boom!
From this perspective, 12 heavy guns and 4 spare 8-pounder guns that can cover the moray within the firing range fire at the same time, but the slender size of the moray provides unique conditions for it to avoid shells.
Moreover, even if the body is covered with mucus, even if it is occasionally rubbed by stray bullets, it will not have much effect on it.
More importantly, after several rounds of trials, the defenders discovered that this ugly guy possesses a very abnormal racial talent [dangerous premonition].
Be able to respond in time before the arrival of fatal danger.
This ability not only makes it more difficult to be hit by artillery fire, but also allows it to successfully evade the non-dead spot fire of all the small artillery mobilized by the previous defenders to focus on it with large-scale grape shells.
So, even if 16 artillery fired at the same time, it would only plow a blue wound on its tail.
According to previous experience, if it can't kill with one hit, it can grow well again after a while, and then reattack Shanghai Cape alive and well.
Wow! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With the help of the stubby tentacles on the neck, the "skeleton moray" quickly approached the horn fort.
However, it is strange.
This time, the close-range defensive shooting composed of small cannons and muskets did not come as before.
The "moray" did not hesitate, and rushed quickly along the **** of the first floor of the bastion.
When they got close, the defenders finally saw what kind of behemoth they were fighting against. Even if there was an order from the peak to suspend the attack and retreat, they couldn't help trembling.
The body length has exceeded 80 meters, the thickest part is close to 5 meters higher than a floor, and the hideous head covered by the hard carapace is 10 meters long.
The large species is worthy of being a large species, and the small species, which is less than 30 meters in length, exist in two dimensions.
His
A long neighing sound has sounded in the ears of the defenders, and many people are trembling even with their eyes closed.
Next moment.
The huge head, which looked like a white skull, slammed up, and the inwardly sunken eyes were cunning and cruel, and the long mouth opened, revealing sword-like teeth.
Although I don’t understand why the humans here suddenly ceased fire, it has only been "out of the factory" for a few months, but there is no such high-end way of thinking as "conspiracy and tricks". I can't wait to indulge myself to the extreme. Killing instinct!
I just haven't waited for it to be put into action.
[Danger! 】
Suddenly, the silent "premonition of danger" because it had not been shelled gave it a crisis signal that was only strong before it!
If you don't care about the meat that has already reached your lips, you have to turn your head back.
It's just that, for a "snake-shaped" creature, it can fly like a fly even without legs, but retreating is a big problem for them.
And the major general ordered it to be put on the bastion, waiting for this moment!
Boom! ! !
The steel boots stepped on the ground, and even this section of the fort body seemed to tremble.
A thunderous flame of fighting spirit ejected from the top of the horn fort, and slammed into the "skeleton eel"'s wide jaw.
【Uriyi·Steel City Shield Strike! 】
The lower end of the pure steel kite-shaped shield is a sharp triangular structure.
As the exclusive weapon of Major General Coverdale, it has long been carefully sharpened by craftsmen, and several enhancement techniques have been added to it with alchemy. Its hardness and sharpness alone are not inferior to any extraordinary weapon.
Clang!
The heavy shield and the sea monster’s bone jaws violently collided, exploding with a loud bell-like noise.
After that, a crisp "click" sounded into the ears of all the defenders.
Look up.
The long jaw of the "skeleton moray" wrapped in bone armor was broken.
The violent impact caused the major general to toss back and smash back into the lobed fort, and it was just as difficult for him to go head-to-head with the large species.
Previously, it has been in a stalemate with the "Water Cannon Humpback Whale" for a long time.
Rather, he ate him an extraordinary secret, and the severely injured sea monster was dizzy and fell heavily from the 30-meter-high platform on the second floor of the bastion.
Boom
The beast fell, the earth moved and the mountains shook.
"Fire!"
The deputy commander who was prepared for a long time seized the opportunity and decisively ordered.
The orange-red cannon flames bloom on the wall!
A dozen roaring iron cannonballs~IndoMTL.com~ splashed over the fallen sea monster!
Almost close at hand, facing a huge target that was stunned, the artillery had no reason to miss it.
During the concentrated fire attack, the heavy iron shells finally penetrated the skin and flesh of the "skeleton eel" frontally, exploding blood holes.
In just one minute, even the 32-pounder gun with the slowest rate of fire fired two rounds. Before the "skeleton moray" spitting blue blood recovered its consciousness, the joint between its head and chest was destroyed. The crossfire of the bastion was abruptly broken!
During this period, even with the heavy casualties caused by the re-fire of the "water cannon humpback whale", the garrisons gritted their teeth and no one dodges.
Finally, successfully kill the first large species here!
It was also the first drop of blood paid after the sea monster invaded!
