Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 286: Offensive and defensive battles and the first blood

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

The battlefield at the mouth of the sea was filled with gunpowder, almost forming a blue cloud 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.

During 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, it is a very difficult battle anyway.

Even if the bastion has crossfire power comparable to 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 defense distance between the defenders and the sea monsters.

No matter where the sea monsters attack, 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 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 a plane battlefield, this battleship must have sunk into the seabed.

Although it was very difficult, the bastion finally persisted.

It’s just hard to say how long you can hold on

Among the five-headed sea monsters, the "iron-clad seahorse" without limbs and the "ghost shrimp" that almost melt into the sea water and will be forgotten. Obviously as a defensive force to control the sea surface, the threat to the bastion is not too great for the time being.

In fact, they themselves hide far away, just restraining the entrance to the sea with their horns.

Even the nature of extraordinary creatures cannot allow them to break through their physiological structural limitations to complete landing operations. Even if they are forced to land, they will only become living targets for bastions.

but.

Among the remaining three large species, in addition to the most violent "skeleton moray" who has been on the Shanghai Cape several times and driven into the sea by artillery fire, and the colorful and heavy carapace, it looks like an iron-clad train wandering around waiting for opportunities In addition to the moving "Great Hammer Mantis Shrimp", there is also a particularly difficult guy in the sea monster.

call out! call out! call out!

The appearance of "Large Species·Water Cannon Humpback Whale" is somewhat similar to the sea monster form of "Tide Shepherd" Tiinkut.

Bone armor envelops its huge head, but a long bone "cannon tube" extends from the position of 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 can match 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 shelling 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 there is also a third-order knight, Major General Coverdale!

Facing the "water cannonballs" coming from howling again.

"drink!"

Because it was a land defense battle, he had already put on his full-covered heavy armor for the first time, holding a big sword and a pure steel kite-shaped shield, and the major general uttered a loud shout.

【Extraordinary Upanishad·Iron Wall! 】

The great knight was surrounded by fiery fighting spirit and flames, 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 can't use his body to block high-density water **** that are as powerful as heavy artillery.

The major general mainly used the heavy shield's smooth surface to deflect the water ball. It is not too difficult to do this with the great knight's extraordinary power and control skills.

However, even if the major general made no omissions, everyone knew that this was 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 longer 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 degree of lethality and interference to large sea monsters, and it needs the cooperation of plural "Song of Sea Monsters" to achieve the expected goal.

Therefore, it is impossible to hope that "Song of the Siren" can directly kill large species remotely.

As long as they do not actively approach, there is no problem 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 attack "whale", and even to avoid heavy casualties to the defenders, even the top commander and the only great knight, Major General Coverdale Not tired of running.

hiss! hiss! hiss!

In the interval 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 to a "lobed horn" in the bastion. .

"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.

And even if the body is covered with mucus, even if stray bullets pass by it occasionally, it will not affect it much.

More importantly, after several rounds of trials, the defenders discovered that this ugly guy possessed an extremely abnormal racial talent [dangerous premonition].

Able to react 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 with large-scale grape shells.

Therefore, even if 16 artillery fired at the same time, it would plow a blue wound on its tail.

According to previous experience, if it can't kill with one hit, it can grow up again after a while, and then reattack Shanghai Cape alive and well.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With the help of the stubby neck tentacles, the "skeleton moray" quickly approached the horn fort.

However, it is strange.

This time, the close-range defensive shooting consisting of small cannons and muskets did not arrive as before.

This "moray" did not hesitate, and quickly rushed 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 a 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.

hiss

A long neighing sounded in the ears of the defenders, and many people were trembling even with their eyes closed.

next moment.

The huge head, which looked like a white skull, slammed up, and the small inwardly sunken eyes showed cunning and cruelty, 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 only a few months, but there is no such high-end thinking mode as "conspiracy" in its mind. It can't wait to indulge its strong and extreme killing instinct to the defenders!

Just haven't waited for it to be put into action.

[Danger! 】

Suddenly, the silent "dangerous premonition" because it had not been shelled gave it a crisis signal that was only strong before!

If you can't care about the fresh meat that has already reached your lips, you have to turn your head back.

It's just that for a "snake-shaped" creature, even without legs, it can still fly around, but retreating is a big problem for them.

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.

[Ukraine·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 worse than any extraordinary weapon.

clang!

The heavy shield and the sea monster's bone jaws violently collided, exploding a loud bell-like noise.

Afterwards, 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 to the lobed fort, and it was just as difficult for him to face the big ones.

It had been in a stalemate with the "Water Cannon Humpback Whale" for a long time and it was extremely expensive. Even if it is now equipped with full body armor, it will not be able to get up for a while.

But after eating him a great secret, the sea monster that suffered a lot of damage was dizzy and fell heavily from the 30-meter platform on the second floor of the bastion.

Bang

The behemoth fell, the earth moved and the mountains shook.

"Fire!"

The deputy commander who had been prepared seized the opportunity and decisively ordered.

The orange-red cannon flames blooming on the wall!

A dozen roaring iron cannonballs ~www.ltnovel.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.

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 regained consciousness, the joint between its head and chest was blocked by a bastion. The crossfire was abruptly broken!

During this period, even after suffering the heavy casualties caused by the re-fire of the "water cannon humpback whale", the garrison gritted their teeth and no one dodges.

Finally, successfully kill the first large species here!

It was also the first drop of blood after the sea monster invaded!
