Release that Witch Chapter 280: Scarlet Water River Ambush (Part 1)
The enemy's fleet approached the Scarlet Water River fork for half a night more than expected. It was not until the afternoon of the fourth day that ten sailing ships slowly appeared at the end of the field of vision.
The Van'er received the message through the six compartments in turn, issued a preliminary order to the gun group he was responsible for, and then returned to his gun position.
"Where is the enemy?" Rodney lifted the window baffle a slit and looked out.
"At least a few hundred meters away from us," the Cat's Claw responsible for observing the signal flag lay on the skylight and said, "I don't even see their shadows here. There are too many weeds on the roof. It's over. "
In addition to the shooting window, each compartment has a hole at the top against the wall. You can easily see situation on Scarlet Water River by climbing the two-step earth stairs.
"Speaking of weeds, the ability of that green-haired witch is incredible," Jop wiped some rusty cannonballs, "wherever she went, the thin grass was as crazy as hair, and those bunkers They are built so tightly that they look no different from ordinary clay bags. "
"What green hair witch," Van'er scolded, "That was Miss Leaf. When she first confronted the Duke Knight group, she helped us bury vines in the woods on both sides, making Knight impossible to bypass. Otherwise It ’s enough for us to bear the tin cans to go behind us through the woods.
"Which witch is more ordinary than magic?" Rodney shrugged, "Build a bunker overnight, let the vines and weeds cover the ground, fly freely in the sky, and even change into a huge These pigeons are not things that mortals can do. "
"The most amazing thing is to choose Miss Nana," full of longing and expectation in the Cat's Claw tone. "I don't know if I will be injured this time. If I am injured, I can see her up close, maybe I will return it. You can hear her comfort. "
"Give me a good look at the enemy's situation!" Van'er frowned, "Don't dare talk nonsense, I will punish you to go back and clean the toilet!"
Cat's Claw stuck his tongue out and pierced his body again.
The artillery Captain sighed in his heart. Now these guys have lost their nervousness and will never tremble like they did on the battlefield a few months ago. He ca n’t say whether this change is good or bad. He always feels that he is too despised of his opponents, but he ca n’t blame his men harshly, because he ’s just not good. Since he became his soldier, Van'er ’s understanding of combat has changed dramatically. : The **** and brutal fight seems to have nothing to do with strength, skill, and courage anymore. They just need to repeat the steps they learned during training, prepare according to the regulations, meet the opponents according to the regulations, and open fire according to the regulations to win.
Especially when the small town was against the new King militia team, it was clear that the opponent was a humanoid beast with amazing strength and fearless death, but the battle only ended after one hour. When he cleared the battlefield, he discovered that he didn't even feel a trace of fatigue. It seemed as if he had just warmed up before training, and the enemy was defeated.
If you continue to develop like this, will one day the battle be so difficult that you wo n’t even be able to see the enemy ’s face, just by operating these metal machines will you be able to destroy the enemy thousands of miles away?
Just as Van'er was thinking, Cat's Claw's warning sound pulled him back.
"I see the enemy!"
"Fill ammunition!" Van'er shook his head, tossed thoughts behind his head, and ordered a deep voice.
The compartment is suddenly busy, this step has been practiced too many times, and now everyone can close the eyes and stuff the drug pack and the shell into the barrel. Without resetting and adjusting the firing angle of the situation, the gun group can fire once in twenty minutes.
The battle plan Van'er laid out by His Highness Roland and Lord Iron Axe has long been carried away and is similar to the Border Town defensive battle. After the observer sees the red flag of Miss Lightning, he can push down the camouflage baffle in front of the gun window and fire. The artillery groups one and two closest to the river bank used shotguns to sweep the deck, while the remaining artillery groups bombarded the cabin with solid shells.
He waits quietly for the red signal flag.
...
telescope is not used now, Lotus can also see that the Puppet King's fleet is moving closer to the location of the ambush.
Compared to three- and four-masted sailing ships sailing on the sea, these ships are obviously much slimmer, without high sideboards and fences, and the low hull looks at first glance against the river. In addition to the inflated sails, a row of sailors sat on each side of the deck, slowly pushing the oars in their hands.
Until this time, His Highness the Prince has not issued any orders.
She couldn't help but get anxious, observing the top of a high hillside. Although she could overlook the entire battlefield, she was also far away from the river. Now that Lightning and Macy are not around His Royal Highness, it will take time to upload the order to pass the order to the various teams. I am afraid that it will be too late to prevent the fleet from passing the Scarlet Water River fork.
Seeing that the sailing boat in the forefront was about to pass Tsuchiya, Lotus couldn't help but wanted to ask, a loud noise suddenly rolled across the river. As if it was an attack signal, there were more than a dozen dense smoke in the earthen house mixed with fire, and the dull thunder continued.
What the **** happened?
Lotus set her sights on the river, and then she could hardly believe her eyes. She didn't see any fighting Knight or mercenaries. However, the deck of the first sailing boat suddenly exploded. The wood chip fragments and the stump of the stump spattered everywhere, and those sailors who wobbled the paddle were instantly injured and injured, and a cloud of blood mist rose, staining the deck with scarlet.
After losing half of its power, the ship's forward speed quickly slowed down, and the roar did not stop at all. Not long after, the tall mast in the center of the hull was cut in half by a blob of black shadow, shaken twice, and crashed to the ground, knocking two Knights who had just climbed out of the cabin onto the deck.
Sailboats started to recede slowly under the impetus of the current. Other ships had to disperse and avoid. Many people got out of the cabin after hearing the movement, staring blankly at the leader who had become hell. Sailing, looking a little overwhelmed.
Then the terror strike came on the second ship.
The crowded deck made the blood mist more turbulent. Lotus can see that after the rolling thunder, the enemies who were next to each other gave birth to a few bright red vacancies, and the unlucky eggs standing in the vacant positions. Interrupted by life, some people are still dead, dragging the intestines flowing out and suffering wailing. Others who survived by chance jumped into the river to escape, no longer willing to stay on this horrible deck for a moment.
She finally understood what His Royal Highness said they were in trouble, but ... how did his subordinates do this? (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.)
