Chapter 548 - Fire Coverage

"All right-turn rudder! Get ready to shoot! "As the captain's horn sounded from the heavy battleship that never sets, including the seven giant battleships and the Pierce of the Royal Victory, and the horn sounded on the main sail of the battleship, more than 30 heavy or more battleships from the sunset began to slowly turn their hulls to the right in the water.

On the other side, the robbers in the Emba Harbor, who were suddenly surrounded by the Sunset Fleet in the early hours of the morning, were in a panic and finally reacted.

Amid the insults of many Umba pirate leaders, the more than 5,000 Umba pirates guarding the city used the elaborate port defenses made for them by the goblins to defend against waves of Naga warriors who crawled out of the water.

And this goblin cannon that threw out the boulder was twice as powerful as the torsional trebuchet in the port of Jeddah before, and it was obvious that even those heavy warships were also a big threat to the battleships that never set, so the giant siege crossbows above all the battleships had already begun to shoot those threatening defensive equipment when they turned their rudders.

At the same time, 14 folding No. 3 counterweight trebuchets installed on the 7-hand whale-class Hawkga 7-sail battleship also began to operate at full speed, with the help of the stable design of the Atlanta giant battleship, accurately striking those arrow towers that were threatening to the Naga warriors.

"It's not easy to gnaw.........." Looking at a boulder directly smashing a huge column of water in front of the Royal Victory, and the heavy armor-class Hawkgar battleship next to the Royal Victory was directly hit by a boulder, and after the ship was damaged and nearly 10 excellent sailors were lost, Orso frowned and muttered as he looked at the Angba Harbor, which was defended like copper coins. I didn't expect the raid to fail, but fortunately they found the traces of our warships before the Hawker Assault Ship, otherwise the Hawker Assault Fleet would have suffered heavy losses by then. ”

Originally, in Orso's plan, after quickly destroying the Amba fleet wandering on the Auckland River, the side that did not fall that day should have rushed directly to Amba Harbor, taking advantage of the fog and night in the early morning of the second day to catch Amba Harbor off guard, but in fact, until this point, the side that did not set the sun had already done it, and also caught the Umba River pirates by surprise.

However, it is a pity that although Orso judged that there was a fog in the early morning of the next day by virtue of his rich experience, Orso knew the weather but did not know the geography, and he did not know that due to the strange geographical shape of the Oakland River, the wind from the sea would blow along the Oakland River into the King's Inland Sea in the early morning, and then linger in the King's Inland Sea at night and then flow out of the Oakland River, so the fog dissipated much faster than Orso expected.

It is precisely because of this reason that the Amba River pirates who were on duty on the lighthouse of Amba Harbor found a huge number of Sunset Fleet that had come to prepare for a sneak attack in the fog of the water surface, so on the other hand, the Amba River Pirates were not confused by the Sunset Fleet's prominence, but were frightened by the appearance of the Sunset Battleship and its huge number.

"But no matter how hard it is to gnaw, it's just a bone, and it's not made of iron anyway." A smile appeared on Orso's lips as he looked at the Amba pirates who were gradually being squeezed by the Naga warriors towards the rear of the port area, and at the same time, the heavy warships on the side of the sun had also finished turning their rudders, and began to remember the so-called fire coverage.

With the addition of hundreds of naval battle scorpion crossbows, coupled with the powerful Scorpion Crossbow and the No. 3 counterweight trebuchet that can destroy large arrow towers, no matter how many years the Umbar pirates have been operating in Umba Harbor, how many defenses they have built for this area, and how many goblin-produced war equipment they have purchased from the Goblin Alliance, it is of little use to the side where the sun never sets, and the only thing they can do is attract more firepower.

"Add more fire." Looking at the harbor war zone that had gradually burned in the distance, and the Umba warships that had sunk and were only left with broken sails, and were now sinking due to the undercurrent at the bottom of the Oakland River after being raided by the Naga warriors, Orso turned to the captain of the Royal Victory beside him, Pierce. It didn't take long for small boats to descend from heavy or heavier warships on the side where the sun never set, and the impatient sailors who had been waiting for the sun to set began to march towards the port area of Umba Harbor with their swords in hand, their cans and bows on their backs, and their asphalt fire tanks hanging from their waists.

During the march, the Umba pirates, who realized that this would be the most threatening force in the area, aimed their defensive equipment at these small boats heading towards the port area, and also eliminated some of the small boats, including their crews, but this was not a great loss for the nearly 100 small boats moving forward, and because of the use of these defensive equipment, it was also a fatal disaster for them and the Umba River pirates who controlled them: as long as there was any place to attack these assault boats that the sun never set, Then in the next second, this area will be covered by all the weapons of war on the heavy battleships on the side where the sun never sets.

The Naga warriors' ability to push flat, the Sunset's fleet's powerful long-range strike capabilities, and the fact that Sunset's sailors used the canister bow after landing in Umbar Harbor to deal with the Umbar pirates who hid in the corner and fired cold arrows, the battle that took place in the early morning lasted only until dawn, ending with the White Flag being waved by the Umbar pirates.

In addition to occupying the important harbor of Amba Harbor, the battle also exterminated nearly 6,000 Amba River pirates by the way, plus nearly 2,000 Amba River pirates in the previous Anba fleet that was eliminated, and now the number of Amba River pirates has been sharply reduced by two-thirds, only less than 4,000 people, and it is obviously impossible to kill a regular Crescent Empire corps stationed in it after the Battle of Amba Harbor. Therefore, in Orso's view, the problem of guarding the ports of Jeddah and Amba is no longer a problem.

In addition, according to the previous battle report, whether it was the fleet reinforced by the sun setting or the 4 fleets of the Crescent Empire, they were about to enter the designated place of battle with the orc Great Empire navy, so Orso hastily let the fleet led by him reorganize and rest for a day, and after replenishing some baggage, he marched towards the Orc Empire's Bona Harbor on the second day of the capture of Amba Harbor, and in the name of it, he went to the orcs to ask for "wages". For them, in addition to the "wages" of the sand pirate problem.
