Chapter 281 Chishui River Ambush (Part 2)

Compared to the Lotus that looked out from afar, Sylvi saw it more clearly.

Through the walls of the earthen house, she could see the soldiers busy in an orderly manner, each of whom made a single repetition, but seven or eight people were connected together and became a complex whole of flowing water. The paper bags and iron balls piled up behind the compartment were continuously sent into the thick iron pipe, and then erupted with thunder.

If you look further, Sylvey noticed that the soldier first lit a rope at the end of the iron pipe, and the jumping sparks rushed into the inside of the iron pipe, attracting the paper bag that was first filled. The light at that moment made her unable to help but squint her eyes. The spark quickly expanded into an orange-red fireball, filling every hole in the tube. The expanded flames had nowhere to go, so she had to wrap the iron ball and run out, throwing it out like a giant hand!

Before the blink of an eye, the iron ball turned into a black shadow and crashed straight into the sailboat in the river. Its strength was so great that a hole the size of a fist was drilled directly on the side of the ship spliced ​​by wooden boards. Although the speed slowed down a lot after penetrating the wooden board, its power could not be underestimated. An enemy who was about to climb out of the cabin was hit in half and broke into two pieces.

This is the first time in this scene that Silvi saw no sharp blade or sword edge, and a round ball can split a person into two.

Because her vision was too close, she even felt that the blood and internal organs sprayed out by the person who was shot had splashed on her body. Then several people were hit by iron balls, either cutting off their limbs or shattering their heads. For a moment, the cabin was filled with dirty blood and red and white organs.

The witch suddenly felt a surge in her stomach, and a stream of sour water rushed straight into her throat.

"Vomit..." The scene in the cabin suddenly disappeared. The chaotic thoughts could no longer maintain their ability. Sylvie was forced to interrupt the connection with the Eye of Reality and vomited out.

"What's wrong?" Lian, who was startled, immediately stepped forward to support her, "Are you okay?"

His Highness the prince also noticed her discomfort and handed over a handkerchief, "If you feel bloody, don't watch it first, at least don't use your ability to watch it up close. Let's take a break first."

"Thank you..." Sylvie took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "I'm fine."

This is probably the incredible invention that Maisie and Lightning said, but everyone didn't listen to it at that time, or they didn't take it seriously at all. After all, it was difficult to imagine such an amazing weapon in their minds before they witnessed it with their own eyes.

She looked at the battlefield again, and saw that Tifeko's fleet began to approach the two sides of the straits, which they had noticed that the storm-like attack came from the low house disguised as a slope on the shore. However, the other party did not know that His Highness Roland had arranged far more than this fortifications.

Apart from the V-shaped defense line, there are bunkers covered with weeds and vines, and the distance between them is exactly the same as the length of the fleet. Unless they turn the bow and evacuate directly without hesitation, landing at any point will only fall into the trap of front and back attack.

The soldiers in the bunker also held a long round iron rod, and the thing they fired was no longer a round iron ball, but a sharp tailless crossbow arrow. They did not look as unstoppable as the iron ball, but the target was replaced by a flesh-and-blooded body without inch armor.

Silvey guessed that the enemy probably wanted to wait until the whole team was on the shore before counterattacking, but the soldiers in the bunker did not give them this opportunity to be exactly the same as before. They didn't even have to show their heads. They just aimed their weapons at the target and easily pulled the trigger. The crossbow arrows were thrown at the opponent like rain.

Faced with such rapid firing and no need to wind the string, the enemy collapsed without long enough. The people who got off the boat wanted to return to the boat, while those who stood by the side of the boat waiting to get off the boat fled everywhere. The hull was swaying sharply, and the springboard was overturned into the water. Many people who fell into the water were shot dead while climbing the boat's side, and the scene was chaotic.

"It's time," the prince put down his watch glass and ordered to the Iron Axe, "Take the reserve team to clean the battlefield. If their leader's knights are lucky enough not to die in battle, they will catch them as much as possible. I want to ask them some questions."

"Yes," the latter politely rituals.

Then he looked at Sylvie, "You go with Iron Axe, too, don't let anyone slip away."

Sylvey nodded and followed the commander of the First Army out of the observation room. She suddenly understood why His Highness Roland dared to openly protect the witch in a corner of the mainland... With such powerful force, even if the church dispatched the Divine Punishment Army, it might not be able to defeat him easily. If Lord Tilly could have such a weapon, the witches might have a day to return home.

************************

Looking at the sailboat paralyzed on the river bank, Roland breathed a little relieved.

When they were planning to land and counterattack, the defeat was basically destined to be redirected by the pole and the paddler to turn the bow of the ship. It is probably because of this. Instead of being beaten for nothing, it is better to go to the dock quickly and organize a drug-taking team to fight back.

It is difficult to completely sink a wooden sailboat with a solid iron ball with a twelve-pound field cannon. Even if the hull is punched into a thousand holes, it will not affect its continued floating on the water. Therefore, turning the bow may cause serious losses, but one or two sailboats can always escape, and if you choose to land, you will be wiped out.

Compared with the last raid fortress and town defense battles, the enemy did not even have effective attacks this time, probably because the pills were usually controlled in the hands of the commander and were not distributed to the militia until before the war. Once they were ambushed, they could not respond quickly.

It was not until the evening that the work of cleaning the battlefield came to an end.

Iron Axe and his guards pressed the two prisoners into the camp.

Before Roland could ask, one person was already shouting, "I am Sir Snack, Your Highness, please allow me to write a letter to the family, and they will inevitably give you a generous ransom."

"I am the second son of the Jiandun family in the North, Elvin Shedd, my respected highness," said another, "I am willing to pay the ransom, too."

"So... you led this attack?" Roland raised his eyebrows.

"Uh, no, the captain is Sir Vincent, but he is dead." Sir Snack twisted the formation, "Your Highness, can you let your people untie my hands? During the redemption period, I hope to be treated normally."

"I don't need a ransom," said the prince, "Your purpose, plan, and Tifeko's plan... tell me what you know, and I may give you the treatment you deserve."

"I can't tell you this... I'm sorry," Snack said after hesitating for a moment.

"I have been loyal to His Majesty Tifeko," said the young knight of the Jiandun family, "This is contrary to my oath."

"Is that right?" Roland disagreed, "Take them down first."

After the personal guard left, he glanced at the Iron Axe, "I heard that you had served as the patriarch's guard when you were in Iron Sha City, and you were very good at interrogating intelligence?"

"Yes, Your Highness," replied Iron Axe, "few people can hide news before me."

"Very good, these two people will be handed over to you for interrogation," Roland turned around, "there are no limits on methods and means, as long as you can get enough information."

He was stunned, "That ransom words..."

"I said from the beginning that I don't need a ransom," Roland said in a cold tone. "After asking, just treat it as a death."
