Chapter three hundred and forty fifth fishing big fish
"We can't charge, General. We can't charge forward. There are traps ahead. There must be traps ahead!" Vice Captain Bray begged bitterly.
"Get out!" Stubin kicked him to the ground and roared loudly, "If you disturb the morale of the army again, I will chop you with a knife first. If you don't open your dog eyes and see, what's going on now? Back off.
You will only die faster."
Vice-captain Bray, who was somersaulting on the spot, immediately jumped up and checked the surrounding situation. He couldn't help but sucked in a breath of air, his whole body was cold.
The Commons family was chasing too happily just now.
It was not discovered at all that the closer the Danube was to the Death Channel, the narrower the water channel was and the closer the distance between warships was.
It's like boiling a frog in warm water. When the frog realizes that the water is too hot, it has no strength to jump out.
By the time the Commons family was awakened by the black powder barrel bomb blasted by the leader of the Yongye Army, the situation was already quite bad, and the warships of the Commons Family's third fleet had already begun to gather together.
Hailong 5 was just hit hard by the black powder barrel bomb led by the Yongye Army. Hailong 6, which was following closely behind him, didn't even have time to completely change direction. From here, we can see how close the two sides are.
.
Let alone turning around.
If they did this rashly, there would be only one result, and that would be to crowd into a pile on the Donau River and become a living target for the Sky Trebuchet led by the Eternal Night Army.
Although the Commons family has not yet been able to see the appearance of the Yunxiao trebuchets mounted on the mountaintops on both sides of the Death Waterway by the leaders of the Eternal Night Army, one thing is certain. Compared with the ones in Brother Port, they are probably not smaller.
.
Now it is located on the top of a mountain with a height of 200 to 300 meters. The impact of the shot cannot be measured by common sense. It is possible that it can directly hit the river surface 2 to 3 kilometers away.
On the contrary, the foot of the mountain outside the Death Water Channel will become a blind spot for the trebuchets on the top of the mountain.
Where is their current way of survival?
Rush over, defeat the fleet led by Yongye Army, and then calmly turn around and leave here.
Stubin's ability to become the captain of the Commons family's third fleet was definitely not a fluke, but he climbed up the ranks little by little with his own abilities.
Even if there are flaws in his character, his basic overall view on the battlefield is still superior to others, and he can spot the loopholes of Yong Ye's military leader at a glance.
How could he not know that there might be a more sinister trap for the Eternal Night Army Leader there?
But at least there is a glimmer of hope, and they can use their own combat power to grab it.
If we turn around now, not only will our warships turn into sardines and be bombarded by the enemy, but the huddled fleet led by the Eternal Night Army will definitely turn into the most ferocious sharks and charge towards them. At that time, there will really be no life left.
It sounds complicated, but in fact, the first wave of bombing from the top of the mountain had just ended after Stubin made the decision.
The remaining battleships of the Commons family fleet, led by the dragon-wrecked battleships, rushed towards the inevitable fleet led by the Evernight Army without slowing down.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of violent explosions were heard, and black smoke erupted from three Commons family warships on the spot.
Even the third fleet's flagship dragon battleship received two hits. At this time, the evil side of this legendary battleship emerged. At the moment of the explosion, something similar to the golden armor appeared on its body.
The energy shield during the spell blocked the most terrifying wave of impact. After the rest fell on it, it only shook violently for a few times, and even the deck above was not broken.
A few pieces, not to mention breaking your muscles and bones.
"Everyone, be careful. There is also the wrath of the mountain god in the water. Follow me as much as possible." Stubin ordered loudly.
That's right.
The attack just now on the Commons family fleet was not a bombardment of black powder barrels from the top of the mountain.
Instead, it originated from the black fire medicine mines placed in the water by the leader of the Yongye Army.
This is the trump card prepared by the leader of the Yongye Army for the Commons family fleet.
Whether it is black powder mines, black powder landmines, or black powder barrel bombs, they sound very high-tech, but in fact, they are not that difficult to actually make. They are nothing more than black powder plus an impact ignition device.
Compared with sophisticated modern weapons, the difference is accuracy and lethality.
But as long as it doesn't prevent them from using it, it's fine.
From top to bottom, Yongye Army leaders have never had the habit of putting all their eggs in one basket.
Although they were prepared to defeat the Kingsley family's plan at Brother Port, they were also prepared to defeat the Commons family's fleet from the river.
Single fighting ship.
The Yongye military leader, whose shipbuilding industry is just in its infancy, will definitely not be able to compete with the Commons family, which has been the leader in this industry for many years.
Even if the current shipbuilding industry in the Yongye Army territory develops rapidly and uses more technological and reasonable shipbuilding methods, it cannot change the fact that the development time is too short and the foundation is insufficient.
Compared with the lack of foundation mentioned in the past, the foundation mentioned this time is real and can be seen before our eyes.
Even if all the large ships built by the Yongye Army's shipyard in the past few years were pulled out, they were not even half as large as the Commons Family's third fleet.
As for such fleets, the Commons family has as many as seven, and the battleships in front of them are not all of the third fleet.
Competing with others in what they are best at is the most foolish behavior.
Naturally, the senior leaders of Yongye Army would not do such stupid things.
Using what you are best at to deal with the enemy is the most correct choice.
Black powder, a cross-era weapon, is undoubtedly a breakthrough in conventional warfare and conventional water warfare.
According to the normal development trend, it will take at least several decades, or even hundreds of years, for black powder to evolve from its introduction to its official use in large-scale warfare.
But because of the existence of Sean, an anomaly, it directly changed the laws of natural development, whether it was the advent of black powder or the way it was used.
Black gunpowder played an indelible role in the development and growth of the Yongye Army.
Without it, it would not be that easy for the Yongye Army leader to restore the Jacob River.
If the Jacob River had not flowed again, the Yongye Army would still be an indigenous force nestled in the mountains.
Precisely because they witnessed the world-changing power of black gunpowder with their own eyes, a large number of solid supporters emerged from the top to bottom of the Yongye Army leaders, actively researching and developing its various uses.
Even without Sean's advice, when the Yongye Army leader was completely passive on the water, the first thing many officers in the Yongye Army thought of was black powder.
The emergence of black fire potion and mines is naturally inevitable.
It's just that the Yongye Army Leader's use of black gunpowder is still relatively primitive.
Sean would like to build the artillery directly, but the problem is that all aspects of technology must meet the standards.
The Firearms Manufacturing Bureau, which was established by the Yongye Army some time ago, has made many attempts in this area.
The result is that eight out of ten cannon barrels produced by the Yongye Army will explode because the quality of the steel is too poor.
This is still secondary. After all, the technology is not up to standard and can be improved slowly.
The key problem is the lack of steel resources.
Even if the Yong Ye military leader develops artillery technology, there is not enough steel for them to build artillery. Those things can easily take tons of fine steel.
The leader of the Yongye Army could only settle for the next best thing and use the most abundant resources at hand to combine with black gunpowder.
The Yunxiao trebuchet is the product of this situation.
The most indispensable thing in the Andes Mountains is those solid giant trees that have grown for who knows how many years.
However, this relatively primitive usage greatly limits the power of black powder.
Therefore, the Yongye military leader did not use all the black powder at the first time, including in the attack and defense of Brother Port.
Of course, this kind of covering up refers to dealing with the Commons family. When they finally stopped them, the Sky Trebuchet only used ordinary boulders and did not use black powder bombs.
In the offensive and defensive battle with the Kingsley family, the leader of the Yongye Army did not fight to the death at most, but used all available methods. In the end, the Kingsley family who activated the golden armor had the upper hand. This is indisputable.
fact.
The Battle Artifact has such a great reputation in Ashan's War, not just for boasting, but because it truly has the ability to change the final outcome of a battle.
Fortunately, the Yongye military leader prepared more than just one plan. When he found that the situation was not right, he immediately activated the backup plan and adjusted his strategy.
In the later stages of the siege of Brother Port, the core of Yongye Army's tactics has been shifted to paralyzing the Commons family as much as possible, allowing them to jump into the battlefield carefully prepared for them by Yongye Army Leader.
Judging from the current situation, the plan is going smoothly beyond imagination.
There are many reasons, and the acting skills displayed by Yongye Army Leader from top to bottom are just one of them.
There are two other factors that cannot be ignored.
First, the Commons family did not understand the new weapon of black powder. Although they observed from a distance the difficult situation of their allies the Kingsley family when faced with the bombing of black powder barrels during the siege of Brother Port.
But seeing it is one thing, and experiencing it personally is another thing. They never expected that this black powder could play so many new tricks.
Secondly, it is naturally because of their confidence in their own fleet. They are confident that they are the most powerful water force on the Donau River, and no one can do anything to them.
Even the Sky Trebuchet Formation in Brother Port, from top to bottom, the Commons family is not afraid of it, they just simply don't want to lose battleships there.
If they forcefully break through the blockade regardless of losses, it is not impossible.
In addition to the fact that they have such capital, it is also because the leader of the Yongye Army has been helping them shape this perception. Every time the warships of the Yongye Army lead a warship flee, there is a certain sense of deliberateness in it.
The sky-rocking trebuchet array in Brother Port, like Tallinn, also hints in disguise to the entire Third Fleet of the Commons family. This passive defense is the last resort of the Yongye Army leader to deal with them.
After taking them down, the Yongye Army leader had nothing to do with them.
With this mentality from top to bottom, it is only natural to jump into the pit carefully prepared by the leader of the Yongye Army.
Shi Dubin was not in the mood to analyze the reason why he jumped into the trap of the leader of the Evernight Army. Now he could only grit his teeth and resist, no longer caring about cherishing the precious energy of the dragon skeleton battleship.
Use it as a vanguard and push forward crazily.
Rumbling explosions occurred one after another around the dragon battleship, and without exception, they were all blocked by the energy shield that suddenly appeared.
The energy of magic has broken many laws of Sean's previous life, but there is one law that has never been broken, and that is the conservation of energy.
Even magic energy must follow one point.
No energy can be created out of thin air, and no battle artifact can be achieved.
Naturally, neither can the dragon carcass battleship.
If you put aside the appearance, the dragon skeleton battleship is very similar to the battle artifact.
They all rely on the accumulated magic energy to cast energy beyond normal.
There is no doubt that the dragon battleship must have an energy gathering device similar to an energy reaction chamber.
However, due to the general environment, the energy accumulation speed will definitely not be much faster, and it can only be accumulated over time.
What is being consumed now is naturally all the energy stored in the past. How long it can sustain depends on how much spell energy it has accumulated in the past.
But judging from Shi Dubin's crazy performance, there should be a lot of magic energy stored in this dragon-wrecked battleship.
But the leader of the Yongye Army chose this place as the final battlefield to destroy the Commons family fleet, so naturally it would not be as simple as just preparing a bunch of black fire potion mines.
The Eternal Night Army's fleet, which was waiting outside the Death Water Channel, parted like the tide, moving out of the way the section of the river where the Death Water Channel was rushing.
Rows of giant trees flowed down the river, pushed by the rushing river water, and crashed into the Commons family fleet.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Many of these adult logs, which were as thick as an arm and twenty or thirty meters long, crashed directly into the battleships of the Commons family.
Although the water flow in the Death Channel is rapid, it is obviously not enough to cause damage to them, especially the dragon warships that are not afraid of black fire potions and mines.
However, Yongye Army Leader did not expect these logs to cause much damage. Dragged by the ropes tied to them, these logs stopped in a mess in front of Yongye Army Leader's fleet.
Their real function is to block the Commons family fleet's most powerful ability - collision.
When they rushed in front of the Eternal Night Army's leader ship carrying a pile of giant trees, it was really difficult to say how much impact power they had left.
Even if there is, most of them are separated by several logs, and most of the stress points will be completely distorted.
In particular, the five large ships of the Yongye Army have the largest number of logs floating around them. They are the focus of the Yongye Army's protection, and they are also the focus of the Commons family's attack.
Click! Click! Click!
The sound of cracking of the ship's sides, planks, and logs could be heard all the time.
The fleets led by the Commons family and the Yongye Army collided abruptly at the door of the Andis people's home.
The collision effect was not satisfactory for the Commons family fleet, which had high hopes.
After the bombing of the catapults on the top of the mountain, the delay of the black gunpowder mines in the water, the water area was relatively narrow.
The speed of the Commons family fleet was reduced to less than 30%.
Now the water is even more messy and full of logs. Not to mention against the big ships that are not much different in size from them, even against those relatively petite assault warships, as long as they are not too unlucky, it is difficult to appear like before.
A variety of crushing situations, including the flagship dragon-wrecked battleship.
It is also powerless against giant trees floating in the water.
This was just a man-made obstacle, not an attack. The dragon warship had no way of automatically counterattacking with its magical abilities, and the Yongye Army leader's counterattack also arrived at the same time.
"Rocket ready, shoot!"
The overwhelming rockets, like flaming clouds, fell towards the battleship of the Commons family.
The arrow rain array composed of five tower ships and more than 150 assault warships overwhelmed the crew of the Commons family fleet. They could not lift their heads. If they were even slightly exposed in an unprotected place, they would be nailed to their original positions.
land.
"Whale hunting crossbow ready, shoot!"
Countless specially-made siege crossbow arrows were fired from the building ship led by Yong Ye's army.
Compared with ordinary siege crossbow arrows, these crossbow arrows are made of fine steel, especially the head. The front end is tapered, with a circle of sharp barbs like sharp claws at the back, and a slender barb at the back.
rope.
As you can tell by their name, they are specially used to hunt huge sea creatures such as whales.
The siege crossbow that fires this kind of crossbow is directly fixed on the ship. It is no longer called a siege crossbow, but a whale hunting crossbow.
