"Should we call the dragon here again, and then fly away with everyone?" Leo looked up at Lorraine and shouted loudly. After speaking, his two big eyes were so excited that they were starry-eyed.
Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes when they heard this. Everyone was trying their best to resist here, seeing that they were in danger. But he was carefree and wanted to find a dragon to fly around with.
Even Jack, who had always been quiet and took pride in his dead face, couldn't help but feel itchy with his fingers, wanting to hit this little scoundrel who was afraid of chaos in the world.
Catherine immediately raised her hand and knocked skillfully.
Unexpectedly, Leo was already prepared. He shrunk his neck as fast as lightning and rushed to the side. Catherine missed the knock, but his wrist was almost dodged, and she let out a low cry of pain.
Leo turned around, bared his little white teeth, opened his eyelids, made a face, and said triumphantly: "Nothing~!"
Catherine was immediately furious.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she sneered: "Have you grown up?"
Saying that, he rushed over.
Leo was shocked, hugged his head, turned around and ran away.
Lorraine had finished firing another set of crossbow arrows at this time and was anxiously waiting for the assistant next to him to load the crossbow arrows. He looked at the two people and said, "Stop making trouble..."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly saw something wrong out of the corner of his eye. He hurriedly raised his head and saw three warships on the opposite lake breaking away from their formation and rushing into the waterway of the port together.
They galloped into the shooting range, then slowly turned the bow of the ship, aiming at the gun emplacement with the side of the ship in an extremely dangerous posture.
Lorraine couldn't help but was startled, and thought to herself: Their commander's head was caught in the door, wasn't he sent up as a target?
Then, when I realized it, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
He shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking~! Take cover, take cover quickly~!"
With that said, he jumped off the ballista.
Seeing that everyone still looked confused, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There has been no war in Maple Leaf Danlin for a thousand years, and these people have never been on the battlefield, so they don't know how to deal with it.
He pushed down the loader next to him very roughly, and then kicked him under the stone fence.
Everyone looked at his actions and couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't know what Luo Lin was going crazy about.
Seeing that Catherine did not chase after him, Leo turned around and saw Lorraine's movements. He couldn't help but blinked his big black and white eyes, and immediately woke up and shouted loudly: "The enemy is about to release arrows. Rain of arrows, rain of arrows."
~! Take cover. Take cover quickly~! "
As he said that, he rolled his body and got into the blind corner of the battlement wall. He also picked up a shield and covered himself on the way. Then he lay on the ground, holding his head in his hands and motionless.
This almost perfect tactical movement was executed smoothly, fully demonstrating how excellent the military education he had received in the past was.
Lorraine looked at his actions like a long-time veteran, and finally understood why Catherine and everyone were so relieved to let him come here to make mischief.
A guy like him who knows the battlefield situation well and can react immediately and correctly is different from the new recruit Danzi. If he doesn't pay special attention to the situation on the battlefield, it will be difficult to die.
At the same time, I was also wondering, where did he learn these skills?
At this time, the rest of the people also reacted, and there was a chaos.
They all followed Leo's example, picked up their shields, curled up under the corner, and hid.
Although Leo was usually unpopular and often beaten and scolded by the women, at this time, each of them held a shield and ran over to protect him like a hen guarding its young.
stand up.
At this time, a herald's distinctive loud shout came from the lake: "Let it go!"
Following that order, countless black spots soared from the three battleships, jumped into the air, and rose to the highest point. To the naked eye, they seemed to pause for a moment, then turned into dark clouds and quickly moved towards
Flying over here.
Finally, those carefully crafted triangular arrows tore through the air and fell towards the fort with a sharp whistling sound.
As soon as Lorraine hid, she saw a figure standing up from beside her.
Hilmeria's eyes flashed with determination, she chanted something loudly, and then raised her hands high, hoping to block those arrows with her own strength.
When Lorraine saw that pretty and graceful figure, she was immediately frightened. She was already tired from the attack just now and vomited blood, and now she had to hold on to block it again.
You must know that those military arrows are no different than usual. They are all extremely sharp and can penetrate heavy armor within fifty steps. Even if she blocks one or two, if thousands of arrows are fired together, her barrier will definitely be torn apart.
Not only that, there are ballistas on the battleship opposite. As long as one shot comes down, no barrier will be effective.
He couldn't help roaring, and at the same time, he jumped up from the ground without thinking and flew over. Amidst Hilmeria's loud screams, he threw her to the ground. Then he pulled her
She rolled all the way towards the blind corner of the battlement wall.
As he rolled on the road, dozens of arrows shot through the air, narrowly passing the two of them, making a 'duh' sound, and nailed to the ground paved with boulders.
A thick arrow fired from a ballista on a battleship whizzed past their heads and fell far behind, making a loud "boom" sound.
Immediately afterwards, several more violent explosions rang in everyone's ears.
The battleships of the Almohad Empire told everyone in this way that not only the crossbows of Maple Leaf Danlin Academy were equipped with expensive explosive crystals.
Amidst the violent explosion, the fort beneath him began to shake again.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Lorraine managed to make a quick calculation and found that at least three ballistae accurately hit the fort beneath him.
Just as he was thinking this, he felt a movement under his body. He looked down and saw Hilmeria still struggling to stand up. He immediately became furious, raised his hand and slapped her across the face, and cursed angrily: "You are crazy.
Come on. Just wait and see~!”
Hilmeria's body froze, with a complicated and unreadable look in her eyes. She looked at Lorraine blankly, and then she softened feebly.
At this time, the billowing black smoke rose up and enveloped the fort. The people were so fascinated that they couldn't open their eyes. They could only hear the faint swishing sound in their ears. They couldn't tell which pieces of rubble fell from the avalanche.
The sounds made on the stone slabs are the sounds of powerful arrows nailed to the ground.
Everyone hid under the battlement wall, feeling that the arrow rain seemed to be endless and kept falling.
It seems like a second has passed, and it seems like a century has passed.
When all the sounds stopped, there was silence all around.
Everyone then slowly opened their eyes and saw the scene around them through the gunpowder smoke, and immediately felt a shiver of fear.
I saw that the surrounding areas seemed to be covered with weeds, the battlements, the ground... were all densely covered with arrows. Most of the arrows were nailed to the ground diagonally, which shows its power and strength.
The damage is so powerful.
The ground was also covered with stone fragments blown up by the crossbow, and the pieces were almost the size of a fist.
What was particularly frightening was that a long arrow was nailed to the crossbow arrow placed next to the gun emplacement, less than half an inch away from the exploding crystal above.
If the arrow came a little closer and hit the crystal, causing a series of explosions, none of the people present would be able to run away.
Lorraine let out a long breath, reached out and pulled out the long arrow and threw it aside. Then he took a risk and looked outside, and saw the soldiers on the battleships were busy drawing their bows and nocking arrows.
The crossbow gunners were also running around, racing against time to load ammunition.
He turned his head and looked at the half-filled magazine on his crossbow, hesitated for a moment, and then jumped up.
As soon as he stood up, he saw someone beside him had jumped up, quickly ran to the position of the ballista, and pressed the magazine hard.
Lorraine glanced at the man and saw that the red mark scratched by him on the man's pretty face had not been removed. He couldn't help but thought to himself: Hilmeria took the wrong medicine today? Why are you so brave?
Although he was thinking this in his mind, he did not dare to neglect. He jumped onto the gun position, slowly and laboriously turned the gun muzzle, and aimed at the battleship.
When the soldiers on the opposite battleship saw the crossbows aiming at them, they immediately increased their speed.
The crossbowmen also hurriedly set up their long arrows, and then pulled the bow strings hard.
Both parties knew that the situation was critical at this time and they could only fight for the moment.
Whoever can aim at the opponent first and fire first can interrupt the opponent's rhythm, defeat the opponent, and survive this round of attacks.
At this moment, both sides felt as if they were sitting on the crater of a volcano that would erupt in the next moment.
Finally, the ballista in Lorraine's hand paused for a moment, and then he pulled the trigger without hesitation. After firing three arrows, he moved a slight step, pulled the trigger again, and fired three more arrows. Moved it again,
Fire three more arrows.
One magazine contained ten crossbow arrows, and nine of them were fired within a few seconds.
In order to pursue maximum fire damage, those warships all used their sides to face the fort, which just provided Lorraine with the best target.
Under his precise control, after those crossbow arrows flew out, they did not go straight to the enemy on the ship, but dived into the water, hit just under the waterline of the warship, and then exploded.
‘Boom’, ‘Boom’, ‘Boom’…
Explosions continued to sound, causing water to rise into the sky. At the same time, terrifying holes were blown out of the three battleships.
A horrified shout immediately rang out from the battleship opposite.
In panic, the officers loudly issued contradictory orders, which made the soldiers even more confused and could only run back and forth on the ship like headless flies.
While looking at the opposite side indifferently, Lorraine slowly moved the ballistae to see which of the battleships on the opposite side needed another arrow. In the end, he found that it was not necessary at all.
The three warships were unable to maintain their balance due to a large amount of water entering the sides, and began to tilt one after another. The soldiers standing on the deck could not stand and fell down screaming.
When they fell into the water, countless white water splashes splashed up, and for a while the water surface rolled like boiling water.
Many soldiers had no time to take off their armor. After falling into the water, they never surfaced again under the burden of their heavy armor.
More than ten seconds later, the three battleships had completely turned over, and then there were explosions like giant cannons in the hulls, and then, water columns several feet high flew up.
Everyone was shocked. They looked at each other, wondering what had happened.
Lorraine knew, however, that it was because the deck could not withstand the pressure of the air, and it exploded, making a unique sound like an explosion.
At this time, the three warships that had been showing off their power just now had completely lost their vitality. They just turned sideways, nose down, and their sterns were raised high, and they slid diagonally towards the bottom of the lake.
When the last burst of white water splashed over, the lake returned to calm. But if you look carefully, you can see through the clear lake water that they are already lying on the rocks at the bottom of the lake, lying quietly, even if they move.
Not moving.
Dozens of small black dots emerged from the water. Those who survived did not even look back. They just shouted loudly and swam desperately in the direction of the fleet.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the battlefield fell silent. There was only the crackling sound of the burning wood from the burning ships in the port.
Lorraine looked around and saw that everyone had stood up and looked across.
He couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only sigh in his heart: These rookies who have never been on the battlefield and don't understand anything~!
He stretched out his hand to pull Jack and said: "Let's go, take advantage of this opportunity, they don't react, let's all evacuate quickly. Why are you standing still? Do you plan to wait for them to come up so that you can be captured?"
Jack glanced at him and said strangely: "Let's go? Why are we going? Aren't we fighting smoothly? We should stay here firmly, keep the enemy out of the port, and reduce losses as much as possible."
Lorraine couldn't help grinning, and thought to himself: Just now, he had to desperately hold off the enemy, but now he has just won a small victory, and now he has changed his mind to keeping the enemy out of the port. This guy is so incompetent in military affairs, how can he still get in?
To be in such a high position is really a miracle.
Thinking about it later, there is nothing wrong with this. Jack is not a military commander, but is actually more of a military supervisor. It is good to have a certain amount of military knowledge.
He said patiently: "Our mission is to hold the opponent back and prevent them from landing, so as to cover the students' retreat to the academy. Moreover, setting fire to the port is enough to delay their landing time. The mission has been overfulfilled, and there is no need to follow them.
The other party is entangled."
He saw the reluctant expressions on Jack's and several other people's faces, sighed, and continued: "We are facing tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and it is impossible for just a dozen of us to complete this mission.
of.
They just underestimated the enemy and were careless. If they get serious, they send people to contain them while sending a fleet to attack. We will not be able to cope with it at all, and in the end we will have to surrender without mercy."
At this time, a long blast of horns was heard from the battleship opposite.
It was sent by the commander of the fleet on the opposite side. He saw that although there were not many people here, the resistance was so brave and tenacious. With admiration, he ordered the messenger to blow the horn to greet them.
But it's a pity that there are people here from the inspection team, from the magic academy, and from the military academy, but none of them understand the news about the navy horn.
His actions of cherishing and valuing heroes were completely a wink to a blind man and wasted in vain.
Jack looked up at everyone, hesitated for a moment, and before Lorraine almost lost his patience, before he raised his head, he finally nodded heavily, and then shouted loudly: "Let's all retreat~!"
Everyone immediately let out a sigh of relief and agreed loudly.
After all, this is a battlefield. Who knows what will happen next moment. The sooner you leave, the better. Although they are not afraid of death for the sake of honor, it is better not to die if they can.
Lorraine led everyone to arrange the fort again, raising the shield a little higher and exposing a little of the head from behind the battlement. He put some helmets on and pretended to be someone, so that the other party would not dare to approach easily.
Finally, he picked up the crossbow again and fired a few random shots at the opposite side. While the water exploded and the battleships on the opposite side were busy, he led everyone to bend down, lowered his body as much as possible, and ran quickly
Went back.
When they ran back to the woods on the shore, just as they were about to take a breath, they saw the horn sounding from the opposite side.
Several warships fired arrows while quickly rushing past the fort.
This time they learned a lot smarter and adopted non-stop shooting. Although the density dropped, they maintained sustained firepower.
If everyone was still on the fort at this time, they would have been so suppressed that they couldn't even lift their heads.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of magicians appeared in the sky again. Although they were afraid of being beaten just now and did not dare to approach, they threw fireballs at the fort from a distance and exploded randomly.
At the same time, several more warships took advantage of this opportunity and entered the port from the waterway. They ignored the others and bombarded the burning ships in the port, breaking them into pieces as much as possible.
, so as to make enough room for ships entering the port to come out.
One of the ships spotted an empty berth and docked there.
After a while, the springboard was lowered, and a large group of soldiers swarmed down from it. Under the officers' wild shouts and orders, they divided into two teams. One team was responsible for putting out the fire in the port. The other team held long guns and quickly
Run along the plank road and outflank the fort.
When everyone saw that these Almohad Empire soldiers were indeed as Lorraine said, it was as if he was commanding them, they all couldn't help but look at him with admiration.
If it hadn't been for him, everyone would have been pinned down by the Almohad Empire like rabbits, even if they were still alive.
Lorraine hid behind the tree, looked at the wolf-like soldiers, and then said to everyone: "Okay, let's go. If we don't leave, we will fall into their hands."
As he said that, he led everyone, not daring to take the main road, but just walking around in the woods, towards the direction of the college.
As he walked, he estimated the number of people disembarking from the battleship, and then took a brief look at the ships outside the port, and immediately came up with a rough number. He couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart, and thought to himself: sixty or seventy thousand.
The elite soldiers of the empire are really willing to invest in this. There will probably be some fights in the next few days~!
