Chapter 594

At noon, the garrison of the eastern fortress responded quickly. The Imperial troops of the two divisions galloped out of the city and came to the Bank of the river. Then the small fleet stationed on the dock of the water stronghold in the city immediately left the dock through the diversion channel and came to the Bank of the river.

Whether it's doubt or surprise. However, there is no doubt that the barbarian army is really going to attack the eastern fortress on a large scale! Do they... Want to cross the river by force?!

Shortly after noon, the battle began. In terms of accusations, the orcs of the two death squads, regardless of the coverage of human archers on the other side, rushed up with huge pieces of wood, trying to build a floating bridge on the river.

The orcs were all topless, and even gave up their armor in order to be nimble. Instead, they held up a broad board to block the arrow when they were running.

On the South Bank of the river, human archers line up, round by round, trying to prevent each other from building a floating bridge on the other bank. Their arrows are flying like locusts in the sky. On the north bank, arrows are everywhere on the ground. The orcs who run and work with wooden boards work under the dense rain of arrows. From time to time, some orcs are shot by the arrows and make a few screams. One by one, the furry soles of the feet trampled on the Bank of the river. The black soil on the ground was gradually stained red with blood.

An hour later, the orcs paid hundreds of casualties, and finally built a simple pier about 10 meters wide on the other bank.

By this time, the archers on the other side had begun to retreat. The commanding general of the human army is general Rostock's deputy, the deputy head of the storm corps, and the supreme commander of the eastern fortress, Dominguez.

Right now. The 46 year old general personally took the troops of two divisions to command sniping on the south bank. With his back against the eastern fortress, the logistics engineers were nervously carrying out the large-scale weapons in the city. One by one, the catapults were pushed to the bank and began to roar across the river.

Later, the imperial warships also sailed to the river, and eight imperial sea soul warships lined up on the river. Closely linked, with the ship's catapult on the north shore of the orc shooting.

With the addition of warships, the loss of orcs was greatly increased. In less than half an hour, the orc engineers on the north bank shoal had almost covered the shoal with their bodies, and the sailors on the ship also picked up their crossbows and fired at the north bank.

In the war situation, mankind once had the upper hand.

The pier the orcs built on the north bank. Two times, they were blasted and collapsed by the catapult, but the orcs seemed determined to cross the river here. After two times, despite the casualties, they sent a large number of death squads to rebuild. The shoal was full of bodies, broken arrows, and logs.

Seeing the human warships blocking the river, general domingues was full of doubts... Look at this situation. It's impossible for the enemy to cross the river here... Did they come to die on purpose?

From the point of view of the enemy, it is obvious that the horde of orcs on the other side, with at least 100000 troops, is going to attack here.

On the warship, the sailors launched catapults crazily, watching the orcs on the other side falling down and shooting huge catapults. The powerful penetrating power can shoot three or five orcs at the same time, just like a string of sugar gourd.

The sailors roared excitedly, watching the enemy on the other side fall in rows under the attack of the invincible warships of the Empire, and the bows and arrows in their hands also shot hard. Many soldiers even tried too hard when they were excited, and even their thumbs were cut bloody.

The orcs still didn't give up. The pier was nailed firmly to the north bank under the impact of thousands of ORC soldiers' almost crazy suicide. Innumerable timbers have been reinforced to withstand the crazy bombardment of human beings.

And this time. Dominguez has sent people to the city to mobilize the air force.

There is a large group of about 150 bombing airships stationed in the city of the eastern fortress. At this time, seeing the orc army on the other side of the border, general domingues immediately remembered the advantages of airship land. These Orc lines are so dense, and they are on the flat open field. When can we not bomb at this time?

The war lasted until the afternoon. It seemed that the orcs didn't take advantage of it at all. The human soldiers fell into an atmosphere of extreme fanaticism and joy. In most people's eyes, most of these orcs were brain damaged and came here to die foolishly.

But at this time, the situation suddenly changed!

On the surface of the river, eight imperial sea soul class warships were originally lined up, but although the river was widened several times by the empire with a lot of manpower and material resources before the war, these warships were Navy warships after all. Since the beginning of the war, the largest sea god and sea king class warships of the Empire have never entered the river. Only the small and medium-sized sea soul class warships of the Imperial Navy can travel on the river. Even so, eight sea soul class warships seem to be a little crowded on the river.

The fleet was close together, almost end to end. The warships were fighting hard to fire towards the north bank, but they didn't know that the disaster was coming!!

The accident happened suddenly!

The flagship of the fleet was the third from the bottom. The commander of the fleet was a veteran of the Imperial Navy, who had participated in two expeditions to the south. And in the boat sailors a fanatical atmosphere, all of a sudden, heard the sound of a dull underwater boom!

Bang!!

This sound, like a heavy hammer hit on the board, and then the hull immediately shook violently for a few times. Before the public reaction, the warship had already tilted seriously to the left!

Then, I heard the sound of underwater collision, and the terrible sound of broken wood. After the ship tilted, the sailors on the ship screamed and ran, and many people fell into the water. The following has been panic over the report, below the waterline cabin has been smashed hull!

"Down! They're underwater! "

The captain immediately issued an order. The sailors picked up their bows and arrows and shot hard under the water. But across the water, the bows and arrows lost most of their power. Some of the sailors set up catapults and turned around to shoot into the water.

The water war in this era lacks the ability to fight back underwater. And some brave sailors. After getting the order from the officer, he had no time to take off his clothes, grabbed the knife and bit it in his mouth, so he jumped into the river one after another and dived into the water.

Row by row of the sailors bravely jumped into the water, the scene in a moment, seems to fall into a brief silence. The ship still tilted, but the sound of underwater collision seemed to stop. Many people rushed to the boat and looked down.

However, none of the sailors jumped down with their knives.

A moment later, someone exclaimed. Between the surface of the water, a stream of red blood from below, just like the water in full bloom after another gorgeous red flowers in general!

Then there were bubbles all over the water. There was a strange tension among the people on board.

More brave sailors took off their boots, bit their knives in their mouths and jumped into the water

Then, suddenly, there was a violent collision sound under the water, and you can see a sudden spray of water coming out from under the river! There are countless blood in the water. Gushing up, which is also mixed with some terrible broken arms and broken bodies!!

With a cry of surprise, the underwater hull gave out a cry of sadness. The sailors who had been struggling to block the damaged part in the cabin didn't have time to escape. In the roar, they watched the hull suddenly break!

The icy water poured in crazily, and immediately annihilated the sailors under the cabin.

Then the hull broke off from the middle, and the bow of the ship immediately cocked up. The sailors and officers standing in the bow fell into the water one after another under the call sign.

At this time. Finally, the underwater enemies showed their faces. Several huge monsters covered with greasy fur and faint flesh red came out of the water. Their heads were big and roaring.

There are more than ten of these monsters, each of which is at least five meters away. They are the hippo orcs who are good at water.

These hippopotamus orcs are born with huge body and terrible power. After diving into the water, each hippopotamus Orc still holds a huge hammer in his hand!

The flagship of the human fleet was suddenly attacked by several hippopotamus orcs and broke!

The sudden collapse of the flagship immediately caused the panic of the whole fleet. The general of the fleet had fallen into the water before he came and issued the final order. The hippopotamus orcs are still lurking in the water, wantonly hunting and killing the fallen human sailors.

Although these sailors were excellent sailors who had fought with the tide in the sea, no matter how good the water quality of human beings was, they could not match this natural underwater race. In addition to the huge body and barbaric power of the hippopotamus orcs, the underwater sailors died quickly, one by one being hanged and even swallowed by the hippopotamus.

This is the plot of the criminals. On the north bank, they deliberately sent a large number of orcs to build a floating bridge to feint attack, which attracted the human fleet to the water. The hippopotamus orcs, on the other hand, quietly launched into the water from the upstream, lurked in the water and ambushed the human fleet.

After being attacked, human warships immediately responded. On one warship by one, those brave sailors were not afraid of underwater monsters, and even some military officers with strong skills took the lead to take off their clothes and jump into the water with short knives.

However, on the surface of the water, constantly emerged a broken human soldiers, for a time, the broad river, everywhere blood!

The war is still going on. Human warships are attacked one by one. After paying a lot of casualties, the Navy officers and men finally have no choice but to recognize the fact that they have no way to deal with these monsters attacking themselves underwater. After the flagship was sunk, another warship was soon sunk.

Then, the fleet began to issue a flag one by one: retreat!

It's meaningless to stay on the river. We can only let the soldiers die in vain.

But at this time, they want to return, can't do it! After all, the river is still a little narrow. The fleet lines up on the river. They are crowded together in dense formation. At this time, they want to retreat, but they are in chaos. They can't even turn around! Several big ships crowded together, and even collided with each other. The hippopotamus orcs were crazy to devour the lives of the sailors underwater. Some hippopotamus orcs were crazy and came out of the water, trying to attack the humans on the deck. But this kind of hot headed action finally brought casualties to the hippopotamus orcs. If they are underwater, human warships will have nothing to do, but once they come out of the water, the sailors immediately take up bows and arrows or even catapults to fight back. Although the hippopotamus orcs are thick skinned, they can't withstand the attack of the crossbow. With a few howls, several hippopotamus orcs were shot by the crossbow and fell into the water. On the river, in the chaos, human warships crowded together one by one. They could not enter or retreat. The sinking of the flagship brought chaos to the command, and the river was not only narrow, but also far less deep than the sea! Even some damaged warships sank for a little half, but the remaining half was still floating on the water, but it just blocked the river!
