Chapter 281 Destruction

"That will be a little difficult. If we don't know which island the king's city is on, it will take a little more effort to attack it."

Cui Bin suggested: "Divide into three teams, one army to attack an island."

"How did you say that?" I pointed to the island: "The area is so large, we are not familiar with the environment, maybe the grenade ran out, did not occupy this kingdom."

"Then cruise and find their biggest port."

"Well, they would have built it right in the middle of the three island capitals on this terrain." I had made up my mind: "It is after midnight, and there will be no strong defenses along the way. When we reach the point where the three islands meet, we should be able to see which island the king's city is on."

"I suggest that we split into two groups and enter the interchange separately, so that we can also observe more of the situation along the way," Suggested Cui.

"All right, you go to the ship and set out with Zombo. We meet at the junction of three islands."

When Cui Bin agreed, I called Zongbu and John together and gave new orders. After dividing the army into two groups in equal order, they sailed away while we remained in the same place. An hour later, we were officially in the wide channel between the two islands.

We kept to the centre of the channel in case of fire from the shore.

After sailing for more than an hour, I saw the meeting of the three islands, and the surrounding coast was dotted with tall defense towers. When they spot us, they fire the rockets. The width of the channel varies from 500 meters to more than 1,000 meters, and the closer you get to the junction, the narrower it gets. Our ship is well within striking range.

Although tried to dodge, but the ship's target is too large. There were fires in several places.

While I organized the counterattack, I also arranged for men to put out the fire and drop smoke bombs into the channel. Then, under the cover of thick smoke, it accelerates to the junction of the three islands.

"Sir, there is a fire on the aft deck. The fire is out."

I heard a shout and, looking back, I could see the flames of the ship behind me. Get men ashore, and get all the grenades in the hold to the throwers.

The boat gave a violent shiver as it hit the shore. We were able to get ashore with our shields, and when we were under the towers, they couldn't attack.

I gave them a taste of their own medicine by setting fire to their towers.

Few people were killed, but our ship was completely engulfed in flames and beginning to fall apart.

When a dozen towers began to fall, I asked John to gather the army. Three islands were found where they met and cities were built.

"Chief, general Cui Bin and his ship are coming, and they are on fire." John sent the report.

"Go and rescue them." I ordered.

When they spotted us, they swung round and drew near. The watchtower on the opposite bank kept shooting arrows at them. The attack eased off when we rushed over to tackle the guys.

When everyone was on board, we quickly retreated to safety. That's when the guys started shooting arrows at their boats at the interchange. This is supposed to trap us completely on one of these islands.

There was nothing we could do at sea, so we gathered all our armies together and attacked the walls of the island we were on.

To the wall below, see above are people, we found intensive shooting, and are all rockets.

"What shall we do, chief?" "Asked Zong Bu, puzzled.

"What's the hurry?" The worst thing I'm afraid of is if we mess up first.

"It seems the enemy has learned the weakness of our firearms and knows they will explode once they catch fire," Cui said.

"Yes, we have underestimated the enemy this time."

"Use smoke bombs as cover, storm the army to the gates of the city, and then drop grenades on them." Cui bin suggested.

I waved my hand and studied the city defense. The walls were built according to the topography of the island and were also triangular. It's not easy to attack. Using smoke bombs as cover, they would shoot arrows into the smoke, and if the throwers caught fire, we would die on our own grenades. This is not desirable.

"Here," I said, "Zombo and John will take men to each side of the coast, so that the other two islands do not attack us and surround us. Cui Bin, keep your eyes on the wall."

Several people looked at me blankly.

"As the saying goes, sharpening knives is not the mistake of cutting wood workers. We'll hurry up and make two catapults and drop the grenades directly onto their walls."

"Is it too late? All together?"

"If only they had attacked us, our grenades would have been able to eat meat."

"It's up to you." Cui Bin nodded. He was in charge of arranging the troops. I took dozens of men to cut down trees.

The men on the wall also stopped when they saw that we had no further action. They know that in our presence they have no power but to defend themselves, and to attack only to destroy themselves.

In order to speed things up, I did not make wheels for the catapults, and in an hour two catapults were ready.

When carried forward, covered by a shield. In order to target the projectile distance, we first dropped a few rocks. When they were sure they could hit the wall, they replaced them with grenades.

Because the grenade fuse is short, two grenades, one just above the wall exploded, the other right on the wall, thick smoke engulfed ten meters of the wall.

The men on the wall saw this and again launched a fierce attack. At the same time, bombs exploded on either side of the coast that Zomb and John were watching.

After a dozen grenades had burst through the walls, they knew they could not resist. He began to change tactics, throwing one fireball after another at the foot of the wall, and then all retreated.

Meanwhile John and Zombo came running back, having held back the men who had come to their aid.I let the smoke bomb go, and I sent a team down to the gate. With a great bang, the gate was blown to pieces.

Our catapults began to position themselves, dropping the grenades inside the walls. Meanwhile, after removing the fireball from under the wall, we began to climb the wall. With the walls under our control, the rest of the army will enter through the gates.

Inside, he saw many people fleeing. I broke the men into groups and took control of the city. More than a thousand people were captured. The rest escaped by boat to two other islands.

Having taken over a thousand prisoners, they were watched by two hundred men. Cui Bin and Zong Bu led an army to the other side of the wall, and John and I led an army, led by the prisoners, to the ferry they had set up outside the city.

The other side of the line was rearranged, and there was not a boat on the sea.

"Chief, what can we do? We are held on the island." "John asked eagerly.

"Go and bring a hundred prisoners."

John took one back, bring one hundred prisoners, I let them is arranged on the wall, to kill the first ten people after leaving the wall, ordered the rest of the people chanting, as long as surrender, all can avoid death, if a stubborn, we will make a raft, flattened three islands, slay all people, men and women, old and young.

After three calls, there was no response.

In fact, from their stubborn resistance, you can see that they will not surrender easily.

It's not realistic to make a raft. I'm afraid they'll all be shot dead before they reach the other side. I had to send my men back to work on a giant catapult. And let Cui Bin in charge of part of the grenade lead lengthening.

By the time we were ready, it was broad daylight. Our guys are a little tired. But we can not rest, once relax, the other side will take advantage of the situation to fight back, the consequences are unimaginable.

The catapults can hold a dozen grenades at a time, and when they're thrown, they scatter, like flowers. All fell within the walls of the opposite island.

After seeing the effect, I asked Cui Bin and his team to do the same.

More than 100 grenades were thrown, and a large cloud of smoke covered the opposite island.
