Less than half an hour.

The merchants who had not had time to evacuate all ran away after hearing the shouts!

When the time came, without any hesitation, the will-o'-the-wisp brazenly launched a war!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

...

Twenty ships lined up sideways in a half-moon shape, and more than a hundred cannons were aimed at the port and fired at the same time.

At the same time, the soldiers who had set up their positions at the port also quickly fired the cannonballs!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

...

Accompanied by huge explosions, cannonballs continued to bombard the port like a meteor shower, knocking off the soldiers of the Ward Kingdom who were waiting for them!

"ah----"

"Help!"

"help me!"

"my hand!"

"Spread out, spread out!"

...

Screams immediately echoed in the port, and for a while the entire port was filled with smoke. Blood flowed horizontally, and broken limbs flew everywhere.

The ship led by Will-o'-the-Wisp fired only one cannonball, and at least two hundred soldiers garrisoned at the port died.

"Look and shoot!" Seeing his soldiers continuously firing cannonballs in front of the ships led by Will-o'-the-Wisp, but not hitting any ship, Feidi, standing at the back, roared angrily.

"No, no! It's not that they can't shoot accurately, it's that the opponent's cannon has a range about five hundred meters farther than ours!" Kak said hurriedly while looking at the fleet in the distance with a telescope.

"What!?" Feidi exclaimed.

Five hundred meters?

What is this concept?

You know, on the battlefield, a range of 100 meters more can easily suppress the enemy and make the enemy desperate, let alone 500 meters more?

But what Feddy didn't know was that the Will-o'-the-Wisp had already suppressed the firing range. The farthest range of the rifled cannon was three kilometers, and the Will-o'-the-Wisp deliberately fired its shells only two kilometers away from the port!

"Quick, retreat, at least two kilometers away from the port, otherwise we will be suppressed and beaten!" Kak looked anxious.

"No! Once we retreat this far, the port is equivalent to being lost, and two kilometers can cover almost half of the buildings in the port. Once we retreat, these buildings may be directly destroyed. By then,

The loss will be huge!" Feidi struggled.

"If we don't retreat, not only the buildings, but also all of us will have to deal with it here!" Kak said angrily as he looked at Feidi, who was still unsure between gains and losses.

"Yes, yes, retreat quickly, and call my brother-in-law to urge him to come to support, otherwise the port will not be able to be defended!" After Kak's reminder, Feidi woke up immediately and decisively stepped down.

Decide.

"Da da da!"

After Feidi made his decision, the soldiers at the port also retreated quickly with the sound of chaotic footsteps as if they had been granted amnesty.

This feeling of not being able to hit anyone but being beaten is so uncomfortable!

"Retreat, retreat!"

"Ignore the cannon at this time and leave quickly!"

"Run for your life!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

...

Just as the soldiers were retreating, the men led by Ghost Fire opened fire again.

The retreating soldiers killed another hundred or so, for a total of 1,500 soldiers. After two rounds of shelling, there were only more than 1,100 soldiers left.

------

On the main ship among the attacking ships!

"Boss Will-O-Wisp, they have retreated. Should we catch up and fire a few more shots?" A strong man with a sinewy face and a very fierce look asked with a frown.

In fact, this strong man looks very fierce and looks like a pirate, but he is from the Saint Martin Navy!

The current Onihuo Pirates, except for a small number of pirates originally led by Onihuo, are mostly selected from Saint Martin's navy. In addition to being a pirate group, they are not related to Saint Martin's navy.

The navy is no different!

"No need, let them retreat. We will advance slowly, oppressing them, forcing them to call for help as soon as possible!" Will-o'-the-Wisp shook his head and said.

His purpose was to attract reinforcements, not to capture the port!

Ward Kingdom

Ward City Palace Hall

Having just received the news that the port had been attacked, Wodmack was in an extremely bad mood and was sitting on the throne with a gloomy look on his face. The atmosphere in the entire hall became extremely depressed because of his expression.

All the princes and ministers of Ward Kingdom lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

at this time.

"Da da da!"

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a waiter ran out from the side of the hall with an anxious face. He knelt down in front of Ward Mack and said urgently, "Your Majesty, Mr. Feidi called just now. I hope your Majesty will come to support quickly, otherwise

Jinhu Port is about to be lost!"

"What!?" Wodemack said angrily.

Not long after he received the news, it was about to fall?

What does Feddy do for food?

What a waste, it’s a shame to give him such a high position!

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Wodemack's mind, but in the end he suppressed his anger, calmed down, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, according to Mr. Feidi's report, it is because the opponent's cannon has a range of 500 meters longer than ours. He had no choice but to retreat to two kilometers inside the port. The port is now semi-undefended.

That’s why he asked for help!” The waiter briefly explained what Feidi said!

Hearing this, Wardmack was stunned.

Five hundred meters!?

Suddenly, he understood why the port was lost!

If he were to take command, there would be nothing he could do against a cannon that was five hundred meters beyond our own range!

Feddy's method of retreating and asking for help is indeed the safest approach!

Think about it!

"Gudley!" Wardmack shouted to the ministers under the throne.

"Here you are!" A middle-aged man wearing a black trench coat, black leather shoes, carrying a pair of swords, with a Chinese character face and a broom head walked out of the queue, knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.

Gudley was originally the captain of Wardmack's personal guard. Later, after Wardmack usurped the throne, he inherited Wardmack's previous position and became the kingdom's general!

"You take the three thousand troops outside the city to defend the Royal City and go to support Golden Tiger Port!" Wardmack said solemnly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gudley nodded directly in agreement.

He did not ask what would happen if all the troops defending the royal city were taken away from the royal city, nor did he ask how the kingdom could carry so many people in just ten ships!

Because as a former captain of the Guards, he understood that Wardmack's order was unquestionable, and he could only find a way to solve it, instead of asking Wardmack what to do!

"Go!" Wardmack waved his hand, signaling Gudley to leave!

Gudli nodded, turned and left the palace, heading to the military camp outside the city!

On the road.

Gudley, who had just walked out of the palace, fell into deep thought as he walked.
