Chapter 726: Beat him until he calls me daddy (Subscribe)
Maodun's confidant had just run to the lake when he saw a sudden light on the lake a few hundred meters away. The light looked very high, just like the tall buildings in Kaiyuan City at night. This thought frightened him.
Where did the tall buildings come from in the lake? Even the big ships of the Han tribe were not that high, right?
But the next moment, he saw a group of flames bursting out from the "tall building" in the distance, followed by a rumbling thunder from the lake.
The sound was like the roar of the god of death. A few days ago, in the early morning, it was the weapon that made this sound that easily defeated their 60,000 coalition forces
without any reaction. At the moment he heard the roar, the whistling shells had already shattered his body, and his flesh and blood immediately fell like a rainstorm, but it could not stop the speeding shells at all.
Boom boom boom boom——
the huge sound of artillery continued, and the density of firepower of sixty artillery pieces firing at the same time was beyond imagination. What was even more desperate was that since this was a ship-to-ground attack, Luo Chong, in order to achieve the greatest results, specifically instructed the Rat to use double the charge in order to give full play to the super-long range of the artillery. Even when attacking on the lake, it was necessary to achieve the effect of super-long depth and cause as much damage to the Maodun base as possible.
And judging from the effect on the scene, this was indeed the case. Ordinary round bullets with double the charge were enough to shoot a range of three thousand meters. The whistling shells hit the herdsmen and livestock on the shore, penetrated the livestock, and then flew to the tents farther away, flying more than two thousand meters before completely stopping.
With such a range, it was enough to penetrate the Maodun camp. Countless tents were overturned by shells, and the felt on the sheds met the bonfire and was instantly ignited into huge fireballs. Many herdsmen were still sleeping in the tents, and were trapped in the raging fire and burned to death.
The livestock near the shore suffered heavy casualties. At night, the livestock that had been active outside for a day were already locked in the pen, and the density was very concentrated. Every shell that flew into such a dense herd could cause a large number of casualties.
And those livestock that had escaped by chance, encountered such a terrifying attack, and the thunderous explosion in the distance, all panicked uncontrollably.
The frightened horses, cattle and sheep jumped around, trying frantically to escape from the fence, making the already chaotic camp even more lively.
On the other side, Maodun was frightened and his back was cold. He didn't expect that the Han tribe would actually load that evil weapon on the boat to attack his camp. Just one attack caused him irreparable huge losses.
How many people from the Han tribe came? When will they land?
Maodun didn't know, and didn't want to know. The moment he heard the sound of the cannon, he immediately thought of running away, because the power of that thing was simply not something that people could stop. If he didn't run now, would he wait to become a pool of blood and flesh?
The next moment, before even his own army could gather, Maodun rode his horse and ran away with a few soldiers. Anyway, he had more than one stronghold, but this was the largest one. When he arrived at other garrisons and got the supplies extorted from the Xin tribe, he could easily gather another group of warriors willing to follow him.
However, his escape made the herdsmen in the garrison suffer. Most of them saw artillery weapons for the first time and had no idea how to evade them. They couldn't even see how the enemy attacked, but saw the cattle, sheep and horses around them turned into bloody corpses in an instant.
The herdsmen even wanted to cry. Unlike the farming tribes who relied on the land for their livelihood, their whole family relied on the cattle and sheep to live. Now that the livestock died or escaped, how could they live in the future?
The camp on the shore was in chaos. Many soldiers who came out early were not killed by the artillery shells of the Han tribe, but were killed by the fleeing cattle and horses.
Faced with such an invisible attack, they had no choice but to run for their lives. Just when the herders were determined to abandon everything and flee alone, the second round of artillery fire on the lake rang out again.
As the Fubo slowly moved forward, the angle of the shells changed again, making it difficult for the herders to defend themselves. Many fleeing livestock were hit by shells again, causing heavy casualties.
Some timid herders lay on the ground in fear, praying for forgiveness from the gods, but they strangely avoided the shells whistling in the air. However, just as they were celebrating their luck, the next moment, large groups of livestock ran over them, and in the blink of an eye they were trampled to death by the panicked herds.
The sound of the artillery continued. After five rounds of shells, Shu Da finally ordered to stop the attack. Looking at the shore again, there were burning tents and broken bodies everywhere.
The animals that could run had basically all run away, and the people who were not dead had basically all run away. Occasionally, there were still survivors who were staring blankly at the tragic scene around them and crying to the sky.
"Commander, what should we do now? Should we go ashore?" The captain of the Fubo asked Shuda happily.
"Go ashore? Why should we go ashore? The leader didn't let us attack ashore, so we just need to harass in the water.
"But it's a pity to just abandon so many cattle and sheep on the shore. Let's organize 200 sailors to go ashore to drag some cattle and sheep to eat, and we can also improve the food for the crew, because we still have a long time to fight them later.
"Remember, tell the sailors who go ashore not to run too far, and only move within the range of the cannons. Don't be greedy, just get some meat to last us for a while."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." The captain agreed.
He immediately ordered the ship to stop and drop anchor, and then asked the sailors to lower the landing craft, and organized two hundred people to go ashore to pick up the corpses of cattle and sheep. The herdsmen who were still alive on the shore seemed to be blind when they saw the sailors landing, and their faces were pale, as if they were all scared.
They worked until the second half of the night. When the food storage on the ship was filled with beef and mutton again, the Fubo left here neatly and continued to rush to the next target.
As for the wreckage on the shore, they were too lazy to clean it up.
"Commander, where are we going next?"
Rat Da, who won the first battle, said heroically while roasting the leg of lamb.
"Of course, we are going to Maodun's next stronghold. The task assigned to us by the leader is to patrol the southern lakeside of the grassland. As long as it is Maodun's stronghold, we will fight him if we see him. We will make him suffer heavy losses and never dare to come to the lakeside to herd horses and sheep again. We will make him afraid of ships and run away when he hears cannons. We will make him run to the Han tribe and call him daddy."
