Chapter 721
The longbowmen of the two armies led by the Yong Ye Army were placed two hundred meters away from the shore.
The composite short bows of the East China Sea soldiers could hardly threaten them directly even after landing, but the long arrows thrown by their Andes longbows were enough to reach 150 meters above the sea.
Densely packed rockets soared into the sky, forming a rain of rockets and arrows, which surpassed the soldiers in the East China Sea in terms of deterrence and lethality.
The sound of arrows piercing into flesh and being nailed into the ship came one after another.
The warships in the area covered by the rocket rain are dotted with fire points. If unfortunately the sails are ignited, there is no chance of saving them.
The Yongye army leader used conventional tactics and did not use the artillery battalion.
Because killing the landing troops of the East China Sea State is not their main purpose of this operation, it is to paralyze them and let them go ashore with peace of mind.
If the lethality displayed by the artillery is too great, stubbing is startled, and the battle plan is changed, then the loss outweighs the gain.
Even if it is a conventional cold weapon war, the leader of Yong Ye is the top.
It caused a lot of damage to the Donghai soldiers rushing to the beach. The Donghai soldiers who were shot by the arrows fell into the water in pieces like dumplings.
"Go ashore, go ashore quickly, and kill them all."
"Brothers, kill me! Your Majesty has ordered that as long as Jiangmen Port is breached, half of all the plundered gains will belong to the individual."
"For Your Majesty, for wealth, go ahead and kill them all."
The landing warships of the East China Sea Fleet, under the rocket rain, approached the shore with difficulty. Suddenly, most of the warships were empty.
It wasn't that all the Donghai soldiers on board were shot and killed, but those who operated the Donghai soldiers, who couldn't bear the rockets, jumped into the sea, pushed the warship forward, and used the warship as a shield.
But in the last ten meters, the waist-deep shoal obviously couldn't use this method anymore, so they could only get out from the cabin and the back one after another, and rushed forward bravely.
Because they know that the longer they stay in the shallows, the more waves of sharp arrows they need to suffer, and the greater the possibility of being shot.
If they are strangled together with the enemy's infantry and the opponent's archers have scruples, they will be free from this threat.
"The First Corps of the Bull Legion, attack with me."
"First Corps of the Fortress Legion, attack with me."
Accompanied by the muffled sound of war drums, the Yongye Army led two regiments of soldiers, marching in neat steps, pushed towards the bandits who had just set foot on the beach.
The standard gun forest shield wall pushed flat, not to mention the army combat skills, even the personal combat skills were not used.
Even so, the East China Sea infantry who had been killed ran away with their heads in their hands, blood flowing like a river, and the shallows where they landed were dyed blood red.
As far as the army is concerned, the Yongye Army Commander and the Donghai Kingdom are not on the same level at all.
In terms of excellent equipment, the regular army led by the Yongye army is second, and no one in the Asharn Continent dares to be the first, including the Kingsley family, which was once famous for its luxurious equipment.
At best, they let their elites wear armor, and the Yongye army led the regular army, so having a suit of armor was a must.
After 18 years and 5 upgrades, the battle armor of the Yongye army leader is no longer a simple iron armor, not even a scale armor, but a mixed armor of new technology, which is a perfect combination of cloth, steel, and leather. And the fusion of magic and black technology.
In terms of armor protection alone, it may be slightly weaker than the sealed knight armor, but there are countless advantages, such as light weight, comprehensive protection, and easy maintenance.
The most important thing is that there is a portable spell circuit plug-in. Soldiers can be equipped with different spell circuits according to their own abilities, types of arms, and needs, so as to obtain the ability to use different combat skills. Soldiers with defensive combat skills, when activated combat skills At that time, the defense ability was far above the sealed knight armor, without the strength of rolling, it was difficult to break through their double-layer turtle shells.
Not to mention the level of training, the regular army led by the Yongye army is a standard professional soldier, and the training has never been over for a day. As long as the military discipline is strict, the training and various supplies are in place, under normal circumstances, the combat effectiveness of this army will be at the level above.
Looking back at the East China Sea country, they are pirates, and they don’t have the habit of wearing heavy armor at all. Those who can wear a sharkskin armor that is easy to move in the water belong to the elite. Most sailors wear ordinary clothes, and some are even naked. With shoulders and bare feet, it is easy to swim and climb.
If you are fighting on the water, with such equipment, you will naturally have an advantage, but on the ground, fighting with a regular army with perfect equipment and coordinated combat capabilities, it will be difficult to win.
In terms of training, let alone, they require individual combat capabilities, and on top of the coordinated combat capabilities, when they charge, they are crowded and there is no cooperation at all.
Especially when they are halfway across, after the long-range suppression just now, their forces have been scattered quite seriously.
"The fish is biting the bait, let Lena and Cornell also start to act." Stubbing on the flagship Sunrise saw the one-sided massacre on the landing shoal, not only did not show any anger, but showed a smile , issued a new order.
Jiangmen Port dispatched an army to prevent their soldiers from rushing to land on the beach. It was completely within his expectation. If the leader of the Yong Ye army huddled in Jiangmen Port and could not come out, there would be ghosts on the contrary.
After all, what they have done this time is really too big. The overwhelming fleet stretches for several kilometers, and it is impossible to escape the aerial reconnaissance post of the leader of Yong Ye.
"The sailors of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet have started to land." The guards around Stupin ordered loudly, and with the brightly colored flags waving, the order was passed on quickly.
Soon more giant warships were launched on the sea, and countless small warships got busy, transporting more soldiers from the East China Sea to the shore. The number of small warships was so large that it was overwhelming. In the entire harbor, it seemed that It was echoing with the thundering war drums and the roaring and cursing of the pirates, as if they wanted to rush to the shore immediately and tear the blockers to pieces alive.
The first to land was the bait deliberately thrown by Stubin, mainly composed of recruited local islanders. Although there are many brave people among them, in Stubin's eyes, they are all consumables. After all, their loyalty cannot be helped. ensure.
The soldiers who landed later are the real main force of the East China Sea. Most of them are old sailors brought from the West Sea. Whether it is loyalty or combat effectiveness, there is no doubt that they are definitely elite soldiers who are not afraid of death.
"Prepare all the ballistas of the warships, cover and shoot without distinction, and load them with gunpowder, so that they can taste the taste of developing their own weapons." Stubin waved his hand and issued a second order.
"Your Majesty, our people are already entangled with them." A trace of hesitation flashed across the adjutant's face, "Will this cause dissatisfaction among the natives?"
"Huh?" Stubbs coldly glanced at the adjutant with his bloodshot eyes.
The adjutant shivered involuntarily, scolded himself for talking loudly, and hurriedly said: "I will order them to start immediately."
"Hmph!" Stubbins snorted coldly, poured himself a glass of scarlet wine, and said to himself while tasting, "From the moment they set foot on the shore, they are already dead. Why care what a bunch of dead people think? As long as we stay strong enough, we will never care what they think."
Ka Ka Ka!
Accompanied by a series of mechanical turning sounds.
Countless projectiles rose into the air and smashed towards the positions on the shore.
"The trebuchets are coming, form a defensive formation and seek cover!"
"The trebuchets are coming, form a defensive formation and seek cover!"
"The trebuchets are coming, form a defensive formation and seek cover!"
On the battlefield, the shouts of the frontline commanders of the Yongye army came one after another. After hearing the news, the soldiers of Yongye, whether their blades were only one centimeter away from the enemy, or they were wrestling with the enemy, started the battle cry without hesitation. Skills and techniques attack indiscriminately in the form of sound waves, and directly bounce off the enemies around you. Some of them are too close, and they are directly dizzy by the huge sound waves, and they haven't recovered for a few seconds. Come.
"What is this?"
"What happened just now?"
"What did they just do?"
Most of the Donghai soldiers who were exposed to combat skills for the first time were in a daze, and the situation in front of them completely broke their cognition.
On the other side, the soldiers led by the Yongye army regrouped, with the frontline commanders and soldiers holding heavy shields as the center, reuniting the somewhat scattered defensive formation.
boom! boom! boom!
Countless projectiles not much bigger than fists smashed down, and the sound of explosions continued one after another.
The black powder shells thrown by the East China Sea Fleet with the ship-borne ballista arrived.
Thanks to Stubin, who had eaten black powder on the Donau River, he had a deep understanding of the impact of this new type of weapon on the mode of naval warfare.
At the same time, I also know that when I decide to migrate to the East China Sea, conflicts between the two sides are inevitable.
Over the years, they have been frantically researching the use and countermeasures of black powder.
Regardless of the cost, they established their own black powder production plant five years ago, and integrated its use with the old naval warfare model.
To a certain extent, the way they use it has not been able to innovate independently, it is still plagiarizing and imitating the method of Yongye Army Leader.
One is to throw large gunpowder barrels directly. This requires large catapults, and the number is small. It must be thrown by large catapults mounted on the deck. The hit rate is low and the range is short, but the power is huge. If small and medium warships are thrown Hit, one shot can hit them hard.
One is to throw this kind of iron-coated gunpowder projectile, which is thrown out through a ballista. The throwing speed is fast and the distance is long, and the power is a bit unsatisfactory. It is similar to a large grenade, and it is not an impact explosion. Ignition before ejection like a gunpowder barrel, not to mention the trouble, and it is dangerous, if the throw fails, it will bloom on your own ship.
Even so, the successful development of these two weapons is also subversive to the naval warfare mode of the East China Sea Fleet. Combat mix mode changed.
This is also where Stupin's confidence lies.
In the use of black powder, they may be a little behind compared to the developer of Yongye Army Leader, but at least they are not completely powerless to fight back.
Facing the same situation, the soldiers of Yongye and Donghai soldiers reacted differently, and their fates were destined to be different.
The soldiers in the East China Sea were stupefied. The black powder shotguns had already bloomed among them. The powerful explosive force directly knocked them back and forth. The iron skin, which was endowed with strong kinetic energy by the black powder explosion, faced the pirates with no armor and thin armor. , exerted full lethality.
Once shot to the point, he died immediately on the spot.
Even if they were lucky enough to avoid the vital points, after splashing on the body, they would leave gashes deep enough to reach the bone, and the blood would flow profusely. After being soaked in sea water and sweat, each one would scream in pain and tremble all over.
On the other hand, the soldiers of Yongye have already used tower shields to form huge tortoise shells, and all the soldiers are huddled behind. The powerful shock waves and splashed iron pieces smashed on the tortoise shells, arousing a series of attacks. Into a piece of magic fluorescent.
Obviously, this defensive formation is not purely physical defense, but incorporates elements of magic and coordinated defense.
Regardless of defensive ability or stability, the upper limit of manpower has been broken.
A round of violent black powder shotgun explosions just made them shake for a while, far from collapsed.
There were also some Yongye soldiers who hadn't had time to retreat back to the defensive formation, and they didn't stand there stupidly like the Donghai soldiers.
Those who can find cover are looking for cover, and those who have no time to find cover are also prostrate on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, shrinking their bodies as much as possible, and using their backs to meet the side of the explosion. For a while, he activated his defensive combat skills.
The correct posture allows them to greatly reduce the surface to withstand impact and splash, and the chance of being hit is greatly reduced.
Compared with the soldiers in the East China Sea, the soldiers led by the Yongye Army have rich experience in facing firearm attacks and have undergone special training.
Even if there are occasional accidents, as long as they are not directly hit by black powder shotguns, they are usually injured and survived. The lethality of the sputtering iron fragments weakened by defensive combat skills and double-layer battle armor has been greatly reduced.
The defense formation of the East China Sea Fleet's black powder shotguns vs. Yongye Commander.
The defensive formation of the Yong Ye Army Commander was completely victorious.
"Rescue!" The voice of the frontline commander of the Yongye army came from inside the defensive formation.
Whoops!
There was a chorus of shouts from inside, and the defensive formation was broken into pieces in an instant, and they rushed forward in an orderly and fast manner. The friendly soldiers automatically flashed past, and if it was the Donghai soldiers, they rushed to the ground neatly and did not make up the knife. , directly across from them.
Behind them, there are countless unshielded comrades in action.
If it is an injured comrade, it will be directly dragged into the defensive formation. If it is an enemy, as long as it has a tone, it will cleanly make up a few knives on the fatal vital point.
It was just seven or eight seconds before the second wave of black powder shotgun salvos from the East China Sea Fleet arrived.
The defensive formation of the Yong Ye army was pushed forward by more than 20 meters.
When the second wave of black powder shotguns fell in unison, they were faced with a more fully prepared defensive formation.
The result is exactly the same as before.
The covering fire of the East China Sea Fleet caused little damage to the leader of the Yong Ye army.
On the contrary, it was the cannon fodder troops that landed on them, which brought disaster.
And every time they reloaded, it was the time for the defensive formation of the Yongye Army Commander to attack, and the card was extremely accurate, because their commanders activated the eagle eye combat skills, and paid close attention to every move of the East China Sea Fleet on the sea. .
