    Chapter 19 The Battle of Deep Water Bay (7)

    On the Hailan flagship, Ali frowned tightly as he listened to the report from the messenger.  He looked at the several reloading artillerymen around him with a serious expression.

    "Vice President Ali, we have stuffed 100 kilograms of gunpowder and 500 kilograms of bronze-iron ore composite solid shells into the cannon. Every place around the muzzle has been tightly wrapped with cotton cloth to ensure that it will not be too deflated. We will not do this.  There must be danger!" Several middle-aged artillerymen guarding the bronze cannon looked at Ali in shock and said.

    "I don't know either."

    Ali took a deep breath, closed his eyes and suddenly opened them. He looked at everyone seriously and said: "Our live ammunition shooting value is only three-fifths of the theoretical maximum value, but theory is theory and reality is reality. Even if  Do this. Fire it once tightly, and the lifespan of the bronze cannon will be reduced a lot, but it is worth it for us to break through the walls of Waterdeep."

    "Now that the trebuchet has been launched, let's light it too! Order the entire crew to retreat back and stay twenty meters away from the cannon."

    "Yes!" The gunners carefully checked the angle of the cannon, quickly lit the fuel line for adding oil, and ran back quickly.

    At this time, on the battleship Hailan, more than 30 people were left guarding the ship among the more than 700 people who were originally fully loaded. Looking at the unprecedentedly full cannon, everyone ran to the back of the ship or to the pavilion above in surprise.

    The burning line entered the cannon after burning for more than ten seconds. Huge chemical reactions were changing in the cannon. Thick white smoke was emitted from the burning line hole behind the muzzle in a linear shape.

    More than ten seconds later, the huge power of the gunpowder exploded. There was a loud boom, and a red shell and flame were fired from the front of the cannon. The huge backlash force instantly caused the Hailan anchored in the port to move backward.  He fell back five or six meters.

    "What is that red light?"

    In an instant, there was no room for Baron Bratt and the soldiers of Waterdeep City to have any doubts. The huge rocket-shaped shells were fired hard at the middle of the city wall not far from the left center of the east gate of Waterdeep City.

    Boom!

    The thick city wall was penetrated by huge cannonballs like paper. The surrounding five or six meters of city wall collapsed backwards, and a concave gap of more than ten meters appeared in the east gate wall.

    More than a dozen soldiers standing on the wall on the left side of the center of the east gate lost their lives in an instant, and the soldiers more than a hundred meters around were knocked to the ground by the huge force.

    Baron Bratt, General Emerton and others stood up in embarrassment. Before they could recover, two more red fireballs were shot from the east.

    ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s not over yet!¡±

    Baron Bratt gasped in panic and instinctively crawled to the ground.

    The shells fired by the Hailan 1 and Hailan 2 bronze cannons flew towards the east city wall together. One shell hit the right side of the east gate. The three hundred kilogram solid shell smashed the right side of the east gate with huge force.  A three-meter-long gap was created in the city wall, and the second shell hit the east and north city wall that had half collapsed.

    There was a roar, and the city wall whose foundation had been shaken let out a mournful cry, and a series of more than 20 meters of city wall collapsed crookedly.

    "There's a fire on the front deck, put out the fire quickly." Ali and others on the Hailan, who were stunned by the backlash, looked at some of the still burning flames and smoke emitted from the front of the giant cannon, quickly picked up the bucket and poured it towards  Go to the deck.  This kind of thing happens in Hailan 1 and Hailan 2.

    The Elante soldiers below the city wall, who were also shocked by the huge force, looked at Waterdeep City in shock, unable to speak to themselves for a long time.  Lin Fenghan shook his head quickly, raised his sword and shouted.

    "Brothers, rush!"

    "Go!"

    ¡­¡­

    Driven by Lin Fenghan¡¯s enthusiasm, the Elante warriors in front shouted loudly and rushed towards the gap in the city wall.

    Huge smoke and dust enveloped the east city gate. The shock on the city wall made Bratt and others look to the north instinctively.

    "Oh my god, more than 20 meters of the city wall are gone. We are finished."

    Baron Bratt looked towards the north, his heart suddenly became cold and he completely lost his fighting spirit.  At this time, huge shouts of killing and charges sounded from the east.

    Under the shroud of smoke and dust, Baron Bratt, who could not clearly see the number of people, instinctively flinched.

    "General Emerton, now I officially authorize you to be the supreme commander of Waterdeep City. I will teach you the task of protecting Waterdeep City."

    "You have to cover me here for at least ten minutes, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."

    "Guards, escort me back to the city lord's palace."

    "Baron Bratt, I" Emerton shouted to Baron Bratt in the same panic.  At this time BraThe baron has already led the three hundred most elite guards in Waterdeep City towards the center of Waterdeep City.

    General Emerton walked up and down the city wall eagerly, thinking painfully.  After a while, he shouted to the adjutant: "You guys hold here for ten minutes. I'll go to other city walls to call for reinforcements. You must hold it for ten minutes!"

    After saying that, General Emerton ran towards the rear with his thirty-man elite guards.  The remaining centurions looked at me and I looked at you, their spirits atrophied and they were at a loss.

    "Brothers, follow me."

    Lin Fenghan took the lead and rushed in from the gap in the city wall on the left with the general's guards, and quickly ran towards the city gate.

    "Baron Bratt ran away."

    ¡°General Emerton also ran away, let¡¯s run away too!¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Living in peaceful years, eating and drinking and waiting to die, the nobles who relied on their connections to become centurions and officers abandoned their subordinates and ran towards the city.

    Shocked by the huge power of the bronze cannon, the civilian soldiers who lost most of the orders of their senior officers ignored the warnings of their squad leaders and abandoned their posts in panic and ran towards the city.  The city wall itself was defended by more than a thousand people, but only two to three hundred people were left.

    Lin Fenghan led the general guard to easily break through the east gate, opened the city gate, and attacked the hundreds of infantrymen who were waiting blankly under the city wall.

    At this time, there are still defensive soldiers from Waterdeep City resisting on the watchtowers of the city wall.

    Lin Fenghan took the lead and ran towards the north with the general's guard. He pointed at the spearmen who were holding the position and shouted: "Your Baron Bratt has taken the lead in escaping from the west gate, and your temporary commander General Emerton has also  Already fled, most of your troops at the east gate have fled and lost their fighting spirit."

    "You have lost your commander. You have lost the entire war. As soldiers, your obligations to the lord have been exhausted. Why do you continue to resist?"

    "Do you want to die inexplicably and use it as fertilizer for crops? Brave soldiers."

    "Yes! Our commander has already escaped, why should we continue to resist?"

    "There are more than 10,000 people on the opposite side, and we only have more than 200 people. I don't want to die."

    "Centurion Davout, let us surrender!"

    Davout, who was in his twenties, 1.85 meters tall, with a resolute face and a serious expression, was wearing heavy armor and a red cloak. He looked at the shouts of his men with power and said seriously: "Brothers here, we all  We are residents of Waterdeep City, and we all grew up here together. Although our commander has escaped, we must never give in."

    "Once these people from Elant break through the city wall, they will burn, kill and loot, and our relatives and friends will surely suffer pain and suffering. In order to protect our relatives, I will never allow these scumbags from Elant to take a step forward."

    "We still have more than 2,000 soldiers in other places, and we are still capable of fighting. We must not succumb to the enemy's violence."

    Davout stabbed the ground with his spear and shouted. Many spearmen and swordsmen hesitated in place listening to his shout.

    Coland looked at the outstanding Davout angrily and said jealously: "This kid is really a bastard. Are we such bastards? Lord Baron, let me teach this kid a lesson."

    Lin Fenghan looked at the resolute centurion with admiration, waved his hand gently and said: "No, let me go over and talk. We can avoid bloodshed and war, and get what we want peacefully."
