Chapter 372 Cruel Means
Coral Harbour, the only port in the Kingdom of Tutana.
This is a half-moon shaped port!
Unlike ordinary ports!
When ordinary port ships enter the port, the height of the deck is higher than that of the port. Generally speaking, when you arrive at the port, you have to walk off the ship through the stairs!
However, the height of this port is almost as high as the deck of the large ships that stay here, and even higher than the deck of ordinary small and medium-sized ships. Therefore, if you want to disembark here, you should either walk directly from the deck or erect it. Ladder, use the ladder to climb up!
In addition to being peculiar, this terrain also brings an advantage, that is, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
The natural height of the Coral Harbor, coupled with the height of the fort on the harbor, is enough to increase the normal cannon range by three or four!
That is to say, a gun with a normal range of 1,000 meters can shoot to about 1,300 or 400 meters here!
This is already quite scary!
Under the same level of guns, three or four hundred meters can already decide the outcome of a battle!
What's more, the guns in Coral Harbor are not ordinary guns, but 18-pounder fortress guns purchased from the top military power of Ilucia Kingdom in the West Sea!
This kind of fortress cannon is specially used to guard fortresses or some important cities. It cannot be moved, but its range is higher than ordinary artillery!
The range of these fortress guns in the Kingdom of Tutana is a full 2,400 meters, and the range increased by the height of the Coral Harbor is even a little higher than the range of the smoothbore guns of St. Martin!
And it is this kind of artillery, there are a full 500 on Coral Harbor!
Therefore, if St. Martin's fleet wants to storm in, the loss will definitely not be small, unless the Saint Seiya, the giant, or the death god, the virtual, the ninja and the like are shot!
Of course, taking a normal island as an example, if the frontal attack losses are too great, you can choose not to attack here, and then find a hidden place to log in, which is not suitable for normal login. Although there will be losses, it will definitely be smaller. !
The problem is, this is not a normal island!
The giant rock corals surrounding the Kingdom of Tutana are basically tens to hundreds of meters higher than the sea surface, and they are very steep. There are many reefs of giant rock corals nearby. If they are not careful, they will hit the reef and cause the ship to crash and die!
In other words, if you want to log in to the Kingdom of Tutana on a large scale, you can only enter from here!
Because this port is the shortest place among all the giant rock corals surrounding the Kingdom of Tutana, it is also the place with the fewest nearby giant rock coral reefs. Except here, other places cannot log in normally, even if the loss is not counted!
anyway!
At this time, Coral Harbor, even the air is full of chilling smell!
Outside the port, the two fleets and eighteen warships of St. Martin are looking at the port!
In the port, the entire army of Tutana Kingdom has a total of 5,000 people, plus 500 fortress cannons are ready to go!
"call--"
On the tower, looking at the fleet in the distance, he is 31 years old this year, wearing a black trench coat, gray trousers, a white shirt inside, a revolver on his belt, leather long-leg shoes, a flat head, a clear water chestnut on his face, and dark skin. Boseman took a deep breath and came out with a very solemn expression.
Although he has experienced countless battle scenes, big and small, this scene is the biggest and most dangerous scene he has ever faced since he joined the army!
He knows that as long as one is not dealt with properly, a tragic war will break out!
Even now he is in a port with 500 fortress guns and 5,000 elite soldiers garrisoned, facing the eighteen battleships in front of him, he has no confidence to win!
Of course, if the opponent really wants to attack, he can still do it by taking a bite of their meat!
However, that was not what he wanted!
Because that also means that the fall of this port and the kingdom's only external port were sealed, and the entire kingdom was trapped inside the giant rock coral!
"Da da da!"
At this time, a middle-aged man in military uniform and rimless glasses came to Boseman.
"General, there is news from the other side that as long as our kingdom surrenders and gives up its armed forces, the other side will give up the attack!" The middle-aged man reported.
Boseman raised his brows, thought for a moment, and said, "Is there any news from the king?"
"Reporting to the general, His Majesty the King said that he will first send over the few people recruited by the kingdom who have retreated from the great waterway, and then let the Duke organize some civilians to help in the battle, and he will also let the Prime Minister contact the surrounding people. The kingdom asked them to send troops to support!" The middle-aged man reported again.
Hearing this, the look on Boseman's face became even more solemn!
Kugler's practices are indeed very good and perfect, but there is a huge problem, that is time!
The few recruits from their kingdom can be said that they are very powerful, so they can basically arrive soon, but whether they organize civilians, or ask the surrounding kingdoms to send troops to support, it will take time!
Once the opponent chooses to attack now, they may not be able to support the arrival of those civilians who help in the battle, let alone other kingdoms!
How tedious and time-consuming is the process of preparing a kingdom to the army's departure, he is a general who does not know, if he waits for other kingdoms to come to support, it is estimated that even the corpse will be cold!
After thinking for a while, Kugler turned to the middle-aged man and said solemnly, "In this case, you inform Your Majesty and ask him to contact the World Government to see if he can delay the attack of the Kingdom of Saint Martin!"
He didn't mean to reconcile, because he knew that this battle with St. Martin would definitely be fought. After all, St. Martin had already shown its edge five years ago!
Although they won several kingdoms by various means at that time, they did not attack other kingdoms, but he knew that this was just the kingdom of St. Martin digesting the kingdoms they swallowed!
Now five years have passed, and those kingdoms have been digested by them. At this time, the intention of Saint Martin's attack is obvious!
Even if there is no excuse for Pent, there will be Bette, Latt, etc., it is nothing more than a different form!
"Yes!" The middle-aged man did not hesitate, and after agreeing directly, he immediately turned and left! ——
At the same time, on the fleet not far from this port.
Newmand, commander of the Fourth Fleet of the St. Martin Navy, wearing a military uniform, with a flat face and a ferocious X scar on his face, looked at the port in front of him with a telescope. Calm face!
At this time, a young staff officer came over and said, "Your Excellency Commander, the personnel from the Ministry of Industry are here!"
"Yeah!" Newmand nodded without looking at him, and said casually, "Send four warships to escort them to complete the mission!"
"Yes!" The staff officer nodded, and when he was about to turn around and leave, his body suddenly stopped again, turned his head to look at Newmand, and hesitated, "Your Excellency Commander, isn't it good to do this, after all It's 150,000 people!"
Hearing this, Newmand put down the telescope in his hand, turned his head sideways, looked at the staff officer, his face sank, and rebuked, "What do you think this is? This is war! If they don't die, our people will die! "
"But, but, after all, there are 150,000 people!" The young staff officer tangled.
"What happened to 150,000 people? This is war! If the enemy's 150,000 lives can be exchanged for the life of a soldier in our kingdom, I will exchange it, because this soldier is from our kingdom, and the 15 Wan is the enemy of the enemy! No matter how many enemies die, I will not be sad!"
Newmand looked gloomy and said angrily,
"If you can't accept this approach, I advise you to go home and farm quickly, because this is war, not a child's play, nor a place where people with kind hearts should appear, because kindness here will only make you pay An extremely painful price!"
Hearing this, the expression on the young staff officer's face kept changing, and his fists were clenched tightly, but he finally let out a deep breath, let go of his hands, nodded silently, and said, "I understand, the army Your Excellency!"
After all, he turned and left!
At this time, Newmand said quietly behind him, "The Kingdom of Tutana is only the first stage of our goal of this war. After that, we will have many wars. Only if we show resistance this time, we will If you suffer a cruel end, then more enemies will choose to surrender in the future, and there will definitely be more than 150,000 people who will die less!"
Hearing this, the young staff officer's body froze, he didn't say anything, he just continued to walk, but looking at the back, he seemed to relax a lot!
