It roared crazily and fearfully shouted at the humans.
The human soldiers on the shore fell into a deathly silence. Many soldiers bit their lips and looked miserable. However, she could only watch helplessly as her colleagues on the water were killed. His fingertips pierced through his palm, causing blood to drip out! There was no point in continuing to stay on the river. They would only be sending the warriors to their deaths.
However, at this moment, they could not retreat even if they wanted to!
After all, the river was still a little narrow. The fleet was lined up in a row on the river. They were in a dense formation and squeezed together. They wanted to retreat at this time, but in the chaos, they could not even turn around! A few large ships were squeezed together, and there were even accidents of collisions. The Hippo Demon soldiers crazily devoured the lives of the sailors underwater. Some of the Hippo Demon soldiers went crazy from killing and surfaced to try to attack the humans on the deck. However, this rash action finally caused casualties to the Hippo Demon soldiers.
If they were underwater, the human warships would naturally be helpless, but once they surfaced, the sailors immediately picked up their bows and arrows and even ballistae to fight back.
Although the Hippo Demon soldiers had thick skin and flesh, they could not withstand the attacks of the ballistae. With a few howls, a few Hippo Demon soldiers were shot by the ballistae and sank into the water.
On the surface of the river, amidst the chaos, the human warships were squeezed together. They could neither advance nor retreat. The sinking of the flagship brought chaos to the command. Not only was the river narrow, but the water depth was also far from comparable to the sea!
There were even some damaged warships that had half sunk, but the remaining half was still floating on the surface of the water. However, it just happened to block the river!
After about two hours of fierce battle, the human warships finally collapsed in this predicament. One by one, the warships were sunk, and countless sailors jumped into the water. At this time, they did not take the initiative to enter the water to fight the enemy. A large number of sailors saw that the situation was dangerous and had no choice but to jump off the ship to survive. For a moment, the river was crowded with people. These sailors tried their best to swim towards the river bank in an attempt to escape.
However, in this chaos, the Hippo Demon soldiers were killing the human marines wantonly. Some of the marines were devoured by the Hippo Demon soldiers in the water, some were injured and drowned, and some were fleeing in panic, forgetting to determine the direction and swimming to the north bank! As a result, as soon as they reached the shore, they fell into the claws of the wolf riders who had been waiting on the shore.
Wu Shuang, who was on the shore, had turned pale. She roared in pain, but she could not do anything about the situation on the water.
The entire river was filled with broken ship planks and corpses. Blood dyed the entire river red!
On the surface of the water, the soldiers screamed and the human soldiers on the shore changed their expressions.
Although there were some soldiers on the shore who were familiar with water and jumped into the river first to try to save their colleagues, most of these people who jumped into the water became prey for the Hippo Demon soldiers. On the surface of the water, beast shadows could be seen everywhere. The Hippo Demon soldiers had stolen the limelight in this battle!
In this battle, the Hippo Demon Tribe was originally a small tribe with less than 8,000 soldiers. However, this time, more than 3,000 Hippo Demon soldiers were sent in at once. Instantly, the surface of the water in this area became a hell-like death zone.
Before evening, the Empire was only slightly inclined to the west, but the battle on the river had already come to an end. The fleet stationed in the eastern fortress. All eight of the Empire's Sea Soul warships were sunk!
More than 3,000 marines had died, and the water was covered with floating corpses. The color of the river had completely turned into a terrifying dark red.
When the battle ended, the heads of numerous terrifying Hippo Demon soldiers emerged from the river surface. Thousands of Hippo Demon soldiers were floating on the water surface.
By the time the Empire descended the mountain, the battlefield had already fallen into silence!
The human fleet was completely annihilated on the river, and the army that once dominated the ocean was reduced to ashes.
Looking at this scene in a daze, Wushuang's face turned pale. Finally, her body swayed and she spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, she fell off her horse. The bodyguards beside him quickly went up to hug him. Wushuang smiled helplessly and looked at the sky. For the first time, he realized that the sunset sky was really beautiful.
At this moment, the Demon soldiers on the north bank began to cross the river!
On the surface of the river, the Hippo Race Demon soldiers became the vanguard of the pontoon bridge. He didn't even need to spend much effort to directly carry the wood into the water. Then, using their natural swimming skills, they quickly built bridge pier after bridge on the river surface.
The humans on the south bank continued to fight back. The archers continued to shoot, and the catapults roared. However, the soldiers who lacked the protection of the navy could not stop the demons 'attack at all!
On the river, the speed at which the demon soldiers built the pontoon bridge was getting faster and faster. Under the influence of the Hippo Race, wooden planks were soon put up one by one, and the pier stood on the water surface one by one.
From time to time, arrows would pierce through the gaps of the shields, and the soldiers would scream in pain.
The catapults and ballistae of the humans on the shore became the priority targets of the demon race and blood kin. As the catapults were destroyed one after another. As for the human soldiers, some were protecting the ballistae. Some of them were even lying on the ballista, using their bodies as shields. Some of them were even pierced by the Blood Tribe's long arrows and nailed to the ballista frame!
Despite the difficulty, the demon soldiers still paid a considerable price in the process of crossing the river. During the construction of the pontoon bridge, the Hippo Tribe, which had been ferocious in the water battle, finally emerged from the water and suffered heavy losses from the human archers. If the huge hippos were not hidden underwater, their huge bodies would be the best targets for the archers.
Those huge hippos were often pierced by dozens or even hundreds of arrows. They were covered in blood as they struggled in the water and howled…
When night fell, the pontoon bridge was finally completed. When the pontoon bridge reached the south bank, the human infantrymen immediately ignored the rain of blood kin arrows and madly charged towards the shallow banks of the river. Some even swam towards the hippopotamuses in the water to kill them.
In the shallow waters, the water only reached a person's waist. The soldiers did their best, raising their shields to block the rain of arrows while slashing at the hippopotamus with their swords.
The fight for the shallow beach was particularly fierce. This shallow beach had even become a meat grinder! In just two hours, large numbers of infantrymen had died on the riverbank. Many of the dead soldiers were still floating on the water. The scene was extremely tragic. The Hippo Demon Tribe suffered the greatest impact since the start of the war. In the battle for the river bank, in just two hours, more than 300 Hippo Demon soldiers were killed or injured. Facing the huge Hippo Demon soldiers, although the humans were at an absolute disadvantage in size and body, they swarmed forward like a group of ants. The spears and swords in their hands stabbed at the enemy without caring about anything.
