i have a super island

Chapter 1005 Deer Island Defense Battle (1)

Catapults are not cannons, they don't have such a long attack distance, and they don't have such violent power, but this doesn't mean that trebuchets have no lethality.

For a long time after the birth of artillery, the trebuchet was the ultimate weapon in the cold weapon era, and it was definitely the most powerful weapon for siege.Just imagine, when dozens of trebuchets are fired at once, the scene is full of huge boulders hitting the sky and covering the sky. How can ordinary earthen walls withstand this kind of attack without being smashed into dust.

Now Kashima is facing an even worse situation. The attack power of the golden warship is not in vain. In the era of cold weapons, such a warship represented the highest combat power.

Each golden battleship has thirty catapults and fifty bed crossbows distributed along the deck, which can be called a real "sea fortress".It is impossible for any civilization that is also in the era of cold weapons to defeat these "sea fortresses" without spending a lot of money.

The huge boulder shot from the golden battleship hit the city wall of Deer Island covering the sky and the sun. For a while, the city wall was shaken, and sand and stones flew out. Some soldiers were unable to dodge and were directly crushed to death by the boulder. The trebuchet and bed crossbow were smashed by boulders.

In the case of being attacked first by the enemy, Blake did not lose his position, and still stood at the top of the city and directed the soldiers to fight back.

"Catapult, launch!"

Blake didn't care about his own safety, and stood at the top of the city and gave attack orders to the soldiers.

On the city wall, the Kashima side is not only passively beaten. Like Nile, Wanguo has also developed the trebuchet technology tree, and its use of trebuchets is no worse than Nile.

After Lu Fengmei's continuous design and improvement, the trebuchet assembled by Wanguo is now simpler. It is composed of modular parts and does not need to be transported over long distances or fixed in a certain place. , and the power is no worse than the fixed trebuchet of the Nile.

After being attacked first for one round, Kashima's side launched a tenacious counterattack under the command of Blake.

For a moment, the boulders thrown from the city wall of Ludao also covered the sky and the sun, and dozens of stones roared in the air and smashed towards the golden battleship moored on the sea.

The Nero soldiers on the battleship never expected that the opponent would have the same means to fight back.

In the past, Nile's fleet went out to attack the surrounding enemies, all of which were bombed by trebuchets, because those enemies did not have decent weapons and could only be in a passive situation, but this time the enemies on Deer Island were obviously not so easy to provoke. They also have powerful trebuchets in their hands.

Dark red boulders flew over like raindrops. Some hit the wooden boards on the side of the ship and broke them, some hit the deck and cracked the deck, and some directly hit the soldiers. Soldiers wearing heavy armor can't resist this level of attack, and are usually directly smashed to death.

There was a chaotic shout on the golden battleship, including those generals, who did not expect that the opponent would launch such a violent counterattack.

The generals worked hard to stabilize the situation on the ship, and then ordered the ship to continue to advance to the coast. During the advance, the trebuchet did not stop, and another round of rain of boulders that blocked the sky fell on Kashima.

Along with the boulder, there were countless giant crossbow arrows. Those bed crossbows on the golden battleship were as thick as arms, and the bow strings cracked. The sound of the arrow makes people shudder.

"Lie down!"

Blake's pupils reflected the sky full of crossbow arrows. He already had a premonition of how violent this wave of attacks would be, and immediately shouted at the soldiers on the city wall.

The soldiers on the city wall fell down on the spot one after another, but it was inevitable that some people were a little slow to react. Those soldiers who were a little bit late had a very miserable end. They hardly reacted, and were hit by the crossbow arrows from the bed crossbow. Shot down the city wall.

I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune to be shot by this huge crossbow. Unfortunately, this kind of pain is definitely not acceptable to ordinary people. Fortunately, they will not have too long pain, because death after being shot by this kind of crossbow is just very short thing.

In the attack just now, at least hundreds of people were killed or injured on the Kashima side, not all soldiers on the city wall, but many innocent people in the city.

They certainly couldn't imagine how the crossbow arrows would still shoot through the roof when they were honestly hiding at home.Although innocent, it is unavoidable, because once the war starts, everyone has to be prepared to die at any time.

"General, these Nile bastards are too disgusting!"

"We can't let our brothers die in vain."

Blake's ears were filled with the angry roars of the soldiers. At this time, he, like the soldiers, hated these Niles to the bone.

However, no matter how much you hate it, it can't change the fact that the two sides are confronting each other. Now what he can do with his soldiers is to use the trebuchet and bed crossbow to fight back from a distance. There is no chance to cut off the heads of those Niloticians with his own hands. .

"Calbow, let go!"

Blake growled loudly.

The rows of bed crossbows on the city wall were fired together, and dozens of crossbow arrows made of tree trunks were fired from Kashima at one time and shot at the golden warships.

This time, the soldiers on the warship were prepared, and most of them found a bunker to hide nearby.

The crossbow arrows were nailed to the hull of the ship "thump, thud, thump, thump", and some of them were so fierce that they shot directly through the wooden boards on the side of the ship, leaving a hole. Soldiers shot through with armor.

There was no hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, and there was no white knives in and red knives out, but the intensity was not at all more tragic than hand-to-hand combat.

Wave after wave of boulders and giant crossbow arrows flashed back and forth on the sea surface of Kashima, and each bombardment would inevitably cause a lot of casualties.

But no matter how the two sides confronted each other, the battle situation did not continue to develop to the next step.

The three golden battleships just stopped on the sea surface, neither landing nor approaching, anyway, they just carried out long-distance bombardment like this, and the Kashima side did the same. They had no way to actively approach, and could only passively hold on to the city wall.

The scene looked very lively, and neither the Kashima side nor the Nile side could make further progress.

Catapults and crossbow arrows were not enough to sink the golden battleship of the Nile. The people in Kashima City kept transporting lime and stones to the city wall, and they could repair the damaged city wall immediately. The attack of the Nile could not Effectively leveling the walls of Kashima.

Blake gritted his teeth and stared at the three golden battleships. It would be great if there were artillery on the city wall.
