Chapter 984: Meteor Fire Rain

The sound of the machine sounds clearly sounded in the ears. The huge catapult swing arm was pulled to the ground, and the tail end of the loaded heavy objects was stilted high. The principle of this single-arm catapult is actually very simple, it is the simplest lever, but simplicity does not mean poor power.

The row of catapults has six square arrays, twenty-four, three in front and back of the six square arrays, twenty-four at a distance of twenty feet. Just one square array is responsible for a brigade of hundreds of people, and these six square arrays are waiting for a reinforced battalion.

On the towering whistle tower in the camp in the distance, there is a lookout hand standing. This large single-arm catapult can cover a distance of eight miles, but it is well-deserved long-range firepower. In the dark night, the catapult driver can only rely on those lookout hand.

The flags from the watchtower flip back and forth in the hands of a flag bearer, which is a signal to strike.

"Light!" The commanders in each queue saw the waving flag and shouted loudly at the soldiers under their command. A soldier holding a torch had already heard the order, stepped forward and placed the torch on the big stone. With a bang, the stone stained with tinder oil suddenly started to burn.

"Start!" The orders of firing were like echoes, and were issued one after another. A soldier standing under the catapult cart waved a sharp axe and slashed hard at the rope tied under the bucket spoon.

The thick hemp rope suddenly broke, and the huge swing arm lost the last restraint and immediately raised high. The rope quickly rotated along the roller fixed on the ground until the end. When the bucket spoon reached the highest point, it shot out the huge rock inside the bucket spoon.

Twenty-four huge stones, with burning flames, were like falling meteors, dragging the tail of a flame and cutting through the sky.

There are still echoes vaguely among the hills, and the Hukou Fortress Group, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, isn't there just such a little power? Along with the first flame meteor, from both sides of the Hukou waterway, from the woods, from the hills, and from the lake shore, there are at least four or five hundred catapults roaring.

The sky seemed to be covered by this meteor shower. Before it fell, it made people feel throbbing in their hearts. The pressure that made people feel a little unrestrained was coming like a thundering mountain and sea.

Ah, with a scream, the huge rock had not yet fallen, a Japanese man could no longer bear the pressure, and screamed in a little collapse, jumped off the deck directly. With a thump, jumping into the lake would not allow him to survive. On the contrary, on the surface of the lake, the heat released by the burning sea of ​​fire could instantly suffocate people.

The giant rock meteor shower with a long tail fell down with a force of tremendous force and passed through the canvas directly, leaving a huge hole. The burning flames ignited the canvas and spread rapidly around. With a loud noise, this huge sea ship, which was twenty-six or seven feet long and had several decks, was actually stuck.

With the sound, the deck suddenly cracked, and countless broken wood became killers larger than the boulders, sweeping everywhere, and the fine wood chips were sharper than arrows. At such a close distance, it would almost cost blood. If it was swept by those thick broken wood, the body would be swept off the deck like a kite with broken strings and fell into the lake full of flames.

This huge rock weighs more than a ton, and it has a force of ten thousand pounds based on its own weight alone, not to mention falling from mid-air, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, p

However, it has to be said that this large sea warship can be found on the sea is quite solid. Even if it hits so hard, it has not been smashed or even dewed. Although the hole is very palpitations, the main structure of the hull is still intact.

However, the ship could still drive, but the Japanese sailors on the ship were scared. These sailors were not those Japanese soldiers. Most of them were just fishermen before this. If they were fighting a battle with the wind, there would be no problem. However, the land was defeated one after another, and the somewhat depressed soldiers spread the decadent air. At this time, facing this terrifying stone rain, these surviving sailors immediately hid in the safest place and were willing to go to the boat no matter what they said.

The ship lost control but did not stop and continued to move forward based on inertia, but the direction began to deviate. After all, not every huge rock could fall on the boat, and most of the falling rocks hit the lake directly.

However, these huge rocks falling in the lake can strike a ten-foot-high water column, and the waves raised hit the sea boats passing by on both sides. If no one on the boat is in a straight position, some deflection will naturally occur, and the consequence will be...

After traveling for one or two hundred meters, two naval warships, two of them, had finally had an intimate contact. When the two ships collided, their speed suddenly decreased. When the sky was rowing with meteor fire rain, slowing down and stagnation almost meant that they became targets and the probability of being hit was greatly increased.

Sure enough, before the two ships collided for three or five minutes, a burning giant rock finally patronized the one on the left. The huge impact force immediately made the warship that had almost stopped tremble slightly, and then carried an unstoppable domineering approach and directly drilled into the cabin. However, because the hull of the ship was slightly off the angle, the giant rock actually broke through the side deck and fell into the lake.

Shunji Inoue's expression could no longer be described in words. Although he had heard some information about it, Shunji Inoue always thought that it was an excuse for failure and the result of exaggeration. However, after personal experience, Shunji Inoue realized how outrageous he was wrong.

In the sky, the whistling giant rocks were flying by the ears, and the water columns stirred up countless water splashes and slapped the hull. The dozens of warships that were leading passed by this short meteor shower of giant rocks, at least several of them had begun to sink, and the rest were more or less severely hit, and the sailors responsible for the ship were damaged a lot.

And he was still a few miles away from the Hukou waterway that escaped here. He couldn't help but start to shake, but after that moment of wavering, Shunji Inoue strengthened his thoughts again, and he couldn't lose, he couldn't lose here, he absolutely couldn't lose here.

Accompanied by Shunji Inoue's unwilling roar, the sea beast warship that had replaced the vanguard fleet became the main force of the charge. The Thousand-Powered Octopus warship, which had countless huge tentacles protruded from both sides of the ship, first launched a counterattack. This giant octopus living on this sea ship occupied most of the cabin of the hull, and there were only a few Onmyojis and ninja attendants who protected and served these Onmyojis.

Onmyoji controlled this giant octopus through soul imprints. The huge octopus tentacles rolled up the huge rock shells in the cabin and threw them towards the spark-dot land. This throw was no less than the range and power of the catapults.

Moreover, this kind of Thousand-Pad Octopus Warship can not only move forward quickly without relying on wind power. In addition to being able to throw away the attack of huge rocks, those huge tentacles also have strong defense capabilities. The falling giant rocks will be pushed away by the raised octopus tentacles or simply taken down by the raised octopus tentacles.

The sea beast warship is worthy of the main warship on the sea surface. One can match tentacles of tentacles on the sea surface. Each sea beast warship has its own special abilities. The octopus warship has multiple tentacles, attack and defense, and can also move quickly. The turtle shell warship has super strong protection capabilities. The Diamond Giant Ape on the ship's deck is also the main force of attack on the sea surface.

Under the counterattack of these sea beast warships, the camps on the two peninsulas were also attacked one after another. However, in the hurry from Yangzhou, these sea beast warships did not replenish enough rock shells at all, and there were almost few rounds. The sea beast warships with firepower exceeded that of the shore at one time and were silent one after another.

The catapult is very fierce, but it is very difficult to load. Even if a catapult car has more than twenty strong men, it is still a very labor-consuming job. Even after training, it takes three minutes to complete the traction arm swing, put the boulder in, and then launch this procedure. In comparison, the sea beast warship has a clear advantage in this regard.

However, it was obvious that this advantage was not fully prepared. Moreover, after several rounds of huge rock attacks, as the Japanese naval ships continued to approach, it was not just giant catapults, but small and medium catapults, and even small and medium catapults, were joined one after another, and the throwing was not giant stones, but precious turbulent crock pots.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of this thing in the Xuanwu Legion. After all, as a water and land army, it has reserved a lot of inventory, and this time it has even left all the money, which is enough for the entire legion to carry out two large-scale water battles.

But at this moment, these tincture tanks were thrown out by a catapult truck, and there were thousands at a time. If the meteor shower just now was already covered with darkness and overwhelming, then it would seem like it was really raining, almost airtight.

Countless clay pots even collided and shattered in the air, and black tincture oil spilled in the air. The phosphorus powder inside immediately burned when it encountered the air. Then, I saw that there was really a rain of flames in the sky, lighting up the entire sky.

Under such dense rain of flames, no sea ship that entered its range was spared. The rain of flames burned out fire points on the sails and then spread rapidly. On the deck of the ship, the Japanese soldiers and sailors even screamed in pain.

The flames fell on the body, but they could not be extinguished. The burning made people crazy. On the deck, it seemed like countless candles were lit, and flames were burning everywhere.

Roar, the giant ape let out an angry roar. Their feet were fixed on the warship and could not avoid the fire rain falling from the sky. Their hairs on their bodies were emitting black smoke under the burning tincture of tincture, and that was not counting. What was even more unlucky was that a giant ape directly broke a tincture of tincture that hit it, and the tincture of tincture of tincture was poured on it.

Then, the flames swept it into a fire ape. Under the burning, even the thick-skinned and thick-skinned giant ape let out a roar of pain.
