Chapter 215: Only the More Desperate

When the alarm bell of the castle tower was sounded, the human navy outside the castle also reached the designated position and moved the ship sideways, and the giant shield crossbowmen on the deck also trotted into the deck of their ship facing the Zoran Maru castle tower to prepare for battle. The crossbowmen may not be able to shoot their crossbow arrows at the Saiyi warriors in the Zoranmaru Castle Tower, but they will certainly give the Saiyi a head-on blow to the Saiyi who sail the ships that have anchored them in the harbor.

As the Royal Victory completed its sidewalk, 44 naval scorpion crossbows and 2 castle-defending giant crossbows immediately came into full swing, and the silver javelins and giant javelins were strapped to the asphalt-soaked flammable materials, or directly encased in a fire-lit clay pot filled with asphalt, and flew towards the walls of the Zoranmaru castle tower. Immediately after, on both sides of the Royal Victory, more and more battleships that had completed the sideways movement of the sunset also shot burning stones and ignited javelins at the Zoran Maru castle tower.

Under the blow of the battleship that the sun never sets, the Ashigaru and samurai troops of the Maori clan immediately suffered casualties, and those Xiyi who thought that they would be fine if they hid in the low wall or inside the small castle tower and in the arrow tower, were almost perfectly cared for in the first round of trebuchets fired by the Hawker Heavy Class A 5-sail battleship, and a large number of Xiyi who were ignited by the fire were directly smashed out of the city walls by the impact of the stone projectiles, and suffered heavy casualties. But despite this, Sun Lin still felt that this raid battle had been fought so far, and his side was very aggrieved, not because of anything else, it was the Zoran Maru Castle Tower.

The castle tower is different from the design of Western castles, they don't have very tall walls or strong arrow towers, but there is a very peculiar irregular trapezoidal design, which makes the castle tower give up the fortification of the castle wall and the ability to install castle defense weapons at the same time, so that the castle tower has more layers of defense belts inside, and the most powerless thing for Sun Lin is that these defense belts can only be occupied and cannot be destroyed, unless you have the ability to dismantle the entire foundation of the castle tower.

The multi-layer defense belt provides the Xiyi people with more areas to avoid long-range weapon bombardment, although the defense of those city walls, small sky guards, and arrow towers is indeed not very good, but it can make the sunset fleet completely unable to see whether there is the existence of Xiyi soldiers behind it, the sunset fleet is now called carpet bombing, flat push policy, and the ugly point is a random bombing, with the "blind cat touching the dead mouse" way of playing, good luck a crossbow arrow to a 3 consecutive piercing, bad luck to defend the city giant crossbow is to smash down an arrow tower, There wasn't even a scream inside.

If both sides follow the usual tactics, then it is really unknown that the Expeditionary First Fleet will be able to capture the Zoran Maru Castle Tower tonight, but who says that neither side has it? At this time, there were only 7 Mori family ships left at the gate of the Zoranmaru Castle Tower, that is, in the port area, namely one Sekibune, 4 Kozao and 3 Sengoku ships. The latter two kinds of ships are light ships, except for the speed that can be compared to the sunset battleship that came to the night attack, the rest such as combat effectiveness, hull structure and so on are not as good as the sunset battleship, and although the Guan ship is stronger than the Galie battleship, the speed is the same, but unfortunately its number is only one, plus the strange 7 warships can not make any big waves, but in this case, the Xiyi people still rushed to these 8 battleships at a speed that amazed Sun Lindu, and sailed towards the sunset fleet after raising the battle flag.

It stands to reason that these 8 warships should have died heroically under the combined blow of the Sunset Battleship's short-range weapons, pulley crossbows and canister bows, which is also what the Xiyi soldiers and samurai on the 8 ships thought, they thought that their approach could attract the firepower of the Sunset Battleship, so as to reduce the burden on the Zoran Maru Castle Tower, and give the adults a respite to judge how to arrange the time for the battle next, but what makes people wonder is that the soldiers on the Sunset Battleship don't seem to see them at all, He was allowed to enter the range where he could shoot arrows at those ships with samurai bows, but just as the Saiyi Ashigaru and the samurai were about to draw their bows and shoot arrows, there was a sudden change around their ships.

At the same time, in the Zoran Maru castle tower, the patriarch of the Maori family and a group of retainers who wore armor also put on armor, and got the news that the 8 warships were going to sea in front of the castle tower, if it was usual, the middle-aged man, that is, the patriarch of the Maori family, would definitely agree with this practice, but now, after listening to the report, the middle-aged man grabbed the collar of the samurai who came to report the battle situation, and roared angrily: "What! Call them back! Since they came to attack the Zoran Maru Castle Tower, it means that the sun does not set and there are Sea Clan soldiers! They went out to take prisoners of the sun that never sets! Bastard! However, the Maori patriarch was still a step late, and when he reached the city wall and looked into the distance, the eight ships of the Xiyi were already surrounded by Naga warriors and fish-man swords and shields.

The Naga warrior holding the giant trident smashed the guardrail next to Xiao Zao and the Thousand Stone Boat with the weapon in his hand in the most violent way, and then climbed onto the warship under the frightened gaze of the Xiyi people, and the male Naga warrior who was more than 4 meters tall combined with his terrifying face suddenly shocked those Xiyi people who were paddling. Perhaps there was still a commotion among the Xiyi people when the Naga first boarded the ship, and even a few brave Xiyi suddenly shouted and rushed forward to slash at those Naga warriors with the katana in their hands, but the leather armor on the Naga warriors blocked the attack of the katana, and grabbed the hands or feet of those warriors with a big wave and threw people directly into the water dozens of meters away, and the seven small boats were suddenly quiet and only the sound of breathing and water droplets dripping. Compared with the 7 small Xiyi warships that were subdued in an instant, the Guan ship was much more lively.

The Guanchuan is a medium-sized warship of the Xiyi people, and there has been a design similar to the Anzhai ship, so the violent Naga warriors can only break the small warehouse under the ship to enter the cabin, but this takes a certain amount of time, and the sea warriors who are eager for quick success have no patience to wait, so it didn't take 1 minute, and those fish-man sword and shield warriors who had the ability to climb the Guanzhou cooperated with the Naga warriors to come to a two-sided attack, and just reacted and prepared to shoot those huge ones with a samurai bow. Naga, who was priing open the hatch of the ship with a trident, suddenly appeared above the gate, and with a shell-shaped steel shield, knocked out all those Saiyi Ashigaru, and screamed from the cabin.

Just when the patriarch of the Maori clan was pained to find that the only eight warships he had so far had basically been captured, he was desperate to find that those monsters that were more than 4 meters tall and armed with huge strange weapons suddenly appeared near the port of the Zoran Maru Castle Tower.
