Chapter 751: No One Is Having a Hard Time (1)
The battle in the Holy Light Harbor continues, but at this time, in another place not far from the Holy Light Harbor, the Sun Never Sets Fleet has started a new round of landing battles here, of course, if you use the word slaughter to describe it, it is not impossible.
Demon Flame Castle, a military fortress located at the junction of the coastline between the Griffin Empire and the Holy Light Empire, not only divides the sea boundary between the Holy Light Empire and the Griffon Empire, but also draws a long-standing and important war zone between the two countries.
In front of this military fortress was originally a nameless beach, which was originally the largest beach in the middle of the Middle Continent, all made of flour-like sand, and its back was originally a relatively low forest, but after the Turks advanced the war from the western regions of the Central Continent, this beach changed: although the Turks were a nomadic group in ancient times, they captured many humanoids such as goblins and dwarves during their long expeditions, At the same time, if you want to capture a city or military district with a city defense system, you will inevitably need these engineers, and the next thing you have to do after having an engineering team is to cut down trees and make engineering equipment.
In this case, this beach originally backed by the forest became the military front line of the Turks, and those deep forests were all cut down and turned into siege weapons of the Turkic Empire, although the Turks were eventually driven back to the Western Regions of the Central Continent and never appeared on this beach again, but the damage to this beach by the Turkic Empire could not be restored in a short time, especially the forest that originally existed here. It is impossible to recover, so this nameless beach is called the Cape of the Turks after the people of the Central Continent defeated the Turks. The meaning is not to remember this catastrophic invasion or the terrible Turks, but to remember that an enemy like the Turks is still coming, and that the warriors guarding the middle of the continent should be brave and not ignore the external enemy.
However, the name of the Turkic Horn has not existed for more than 100 years before it was replaced by Scarlet Beach, because the originally huge griffin empire in the middle of the Central Continent was divided due to the Holy Light Cult, and some of the surviving royal family members recaptured the imperial capital with the help of troops and loyalists, and established a new griffin empire in the war-torn land of the middle of the Central Continent. The other part of the cowardly royal family was taken south by the Holy Light Cult, and the Holy Light Order's upper echelons established the current Holy Light Empire with the support of the general public and the ambitious new nobles of the south. And this beach became a sandfield in the decisive battle between the two new empires.
The blood of countless warriors stained the sand, land, and sea red, while the sunken warships changed the situation on the seabed outside the beach, and even the countless garbage produced by the huge army destroyed the surrounding soil, although in the end, neither country could destroy the other. And because of the rise of the Celestial Dragon Empire, he was forced to sign an armistice. But the blood-stained beach has not changed, so the beach has been renamed Scarlet Beach.
Of course, the war between the two countries cannot end like this, after all, the Holy Light Sect is the most unacceptable thing among all the royal families of the New Griffin Empire, and it is they who have seized the territory of nearly one New Griffin Empire that belongs to them, so after the defeat of the Celestial Dragon Empire, the millennium war between the two started again, and the blood-colored beach also began to turn black under the baptism of blood and war again and again, so in the end, this beach is until now. It has changed from a blood-colored beach to the so-called scorched earth shore in the minds of the people of the two countries in the middle of the continent.
And today. On the shore of this scorched earth, the 300,000 troops of the Griffin Empire, mainly the Duke of Yanshi, once again fought a new round of battles on this battlefield that had been covered by the scorched earth, but this time it was a battle that had rarely happened all along, that is to say, this time it was a battle carried out by the Duke of Yanshi on the side of the Griffin Empire to defend the Demon Flame Castle.
You must know that this is an extremely rare existence in the Middle Continent, because the battles that have taken place on the battlefield in the Central Continent have basically been provoked by the Griffin Empire, and the Holy Light Empire's side is basically a defender, and the Holy Light Empire's side at most came to a few counterattacks when the Griffin Empire withdrew, and ended the battle, because the number of wars provoked by the Holy Light Empire can be said to be only a handful, except for the Griffin Empire's side that belongs to the belligerent side, The most important thing is that the Divine Light Empire has no ability to continue to expand.
However, this time it was really the Griffon Empire that became the defender, but there was one difference, that is, the attacking side was no longer the Holy Light Empire, but the Sunset Navy, which Duke Yanshi had never fought again, and was more belligerent than the Griffins, of course, to be precise, it was not the Sunset People who fought with it this time, because at this time, the Sunset Navy in the eyes of the Duke of Yanshi was composed of Xiyi people, Amba and Naga warriors.
"Your Excellency, the origin of the force that appears in front of us now, coupled with the warships that are now attacking the defense system of our castle, we can be sure that the fleet in front of us is from the Empire on which the sun never sets, and there is also information from our watchtower, and those voices before should have come from the Holy Light Harbor, that is......... The Sunset Fleet has been more ferocious than we expected, and I estimate that they are attacking the Holy Light Harbor at the same time as they have come to capture the Demon Flame Castle. "On a huge city gate covered with small shooting platforms, next to an old general with golden wavy shawl hair, a high-ranking officer of the Griffin Great Empire wearing heavy plate armor reported with an ugly face.
At this time, the old general's face became more and more gloomy with the roar of artillery fire one after another, and finally opened his mouth and said to several other high-ranking officers of the Griffin Great Empire around him: "Commander Chris, what you said about your ideas is generally correct, but there are some ideas I think I need to correct, because this is related to what kind of mentality our soldiers will use to fight next, first of all, the first point is that although the fleet that attacked us in front of us also belongs to the Sunset Empire, But in fact you should call him the Xiyi fleet. You should know the way of the Atlanta Empire, right? What I want to tell you is that the so-called Xiyi fleet in front of me is the fleet that is said to have dragged down a great empire, and it is also a great empire that is good at naval warfare. Their strength is definitely not as simple as you believe. ”
Seeing that his supreme boss, that is, the Duke of Yanshi, showed a solemn look that he had never seen before, except for a few generals present, the rest of the faces sank, because basically the legion-level people who came here were either the legion-commander-level figures stationed in the Demon Flame Fortress Legion, or the legion commanders who had been mobilized from within the empire and happened to pass through here, ready to wait for the arrival of the transport fleet to bring new forces to the front line. And a very small number of characters also come from this.
The reason why this is so is because these very few characters are basically not rookies (for those who are experienced or the legion commanders stationed here in front of them, these guys are rookies) or some arrogant goods who rely on relationships, and those legion commanders stationed here have been fighting beside Duke Yanshi for a long time in addition to themselves. I already have a lot of experience to be able to judge the problem by myself, the most important thing is that they are basically vassal nobles of Duke Yanshi, and even some are vassals for generations, for Duke Yan, who is good at leading troops to fight in the past dynasties, they fully know what the expression of this generation of Duke Yanshi in front of them represents.
And for the looks of these officers in front of them. Duke Yanshi chose to ignore his own self-care and continued. Because the Duke of Yanshi in the past generations can be said to be a man of action, for them, the speech in front of them is just a process that must be passed, and the answer can only be obtained on the battlefield, and the most important thing is that in the eyes of this old man who is old but does not lose the majesty of the lion king, what he wants to say has been said, as for those who understand, those who know must understand. And those who don't understand, even if you go and tell him, it's useless.
"As for the second point I want to correct, it is the situation in Port of Light. I've seen it like you, the one attacking us in front of us is the Xiyi fleet, these fleets are generally larger, and some are even comparable to the Wave Breaker-class battleships of the Holy Light Empire, so I guess some of you present will think that the battleships of the Sunset Fleet are like this, but you are wrong, in fact, according to the information obtained from the front line, the Sunset Fleet is roughly divided into two types, one is the Xiyi warship in front of you, except for the light warships they have are very small, The rest of the types of warships, including medium-level warships, are similar warships based on their large size, slow moving speed, strong long-range firepower, and strong white-knuckle combat ability, while the other is a warship that is slightly similar to our light and medium-sized warships, which is the real core of the sunset battleship, and according to the reaction of the front line, although the long-range firepower and white-knuckle combat ability of that kind of battleship are not as strong as the Xiyi battleship in front of them, but the maneuverability is very high, so ......... So I deduced that the Holy Light Harbor was most likely attacked by a sneak attack, after all, the fog outside the sea is relatively large now. ”
"Sneak attack?" A bad premonition rose in everyone's hearts. The people present were not fools, but after being able to climb to this position and even obtain the benefits of the hereditary legion, they had studied some details of the battlefield, and now the words given by the Duke of Yanshi are like the lead in the "threading the needle", allowing everyone to discover that the places that were originally ignored by everyone, such as the fog on the sea, such as the distant Holy Light Harbor, began to burst out one after another after that roar lasted for nearly 2 hours, and for example, The hearts of the people are about the Naga Legion, a previously forgotten naval unit in the naval fleet on which the sun never sets.
"Your Excellency, I ask for your approval to change the original mission of our 21st Heavy Armored Corps to garrison the port area from the original mission of garrisoning the equipment area in the inner city." Just when the Duke of Yanshi paused to observe everyone, one of the guys who looked a little thief-eyed came out and said to the Duke of Yanshi, but don't look at the long-standing thief-eyed eyes of this guy in front of him, in fact, his IQ and control of the overall situation are among the people present, except for the Duke of Yanshi, the best one, and although he is the commander of an ordinary heavy infantry legion stationed in the Demon Flame Castle, in fact, it is confirmed that this guy is the first person who is not a member of the Yanshi Legion but has been promoted by the Yanshi Duke to be the chief staff of the Yanshi family.
"Yes, it seems that I made the right choice to leave you behind." For the appearance of this guy in front of him, Duke Yanshi's gloomy face finally showed a smile, but then his face became very serious and said to the self-volunteering legion commander in front of him: "But maybe there are some situations that you don't understand, and your approach is actually insufficient, which is no wonder." After all, in order to stabilize the morale of the military, some special information will not be released in advance before it threatens the foundation of the empire, after all, it is inevitable that the sun will not set to get the news, and the effect of the response measures we make at that time will not be able to achieve the expected effect.
"Remember when I told you that the Sun Never Sets Empire has a Naga army, right? This is an undersea sea monster unit that belongs to the fleet of the sunset. Of course, more often than not, they act as the forerunners in the landing battle of the Sunset Fleet, and according to the information we got before, basically every Sunset Fleet will be equipped with at least 2 regiments of Naga warriors, and if you count it here, Sunset currently has a total of 6 fleets, and if you count the Royal Navy fleet under the supreme ruler of Sunset, then there are 7 fleets. So that means that the sun never sets, there are about 140,000 Naga warriors on this side. ”
"140,000?" Everyone gasped, although they had not fought against the Naga Legion, but as people from the Great Empire of the Middle Continent. Moreover, they are also the aristocratic class and high-ranking figures in the army, after the two countries in the central region of the mainland declared war on the Sunset Empire, these people more or less understand the characteristics of the various legions that the sun never sets, and the Naga warriors are one of the ones they are designated to know. Therefore, they all know this kind of terrifying warrior who was called the beastman warrior of the sea by the ancients. And it is said that in the Orc Empire, if it weren't for the fact that the Elven Empire was good at guerrilla warfare and long-range killing, just in the face of those warriors of the Elven Empire, even those druid troops with bearishness, 100,000 warriors would be a 1-on-3 existence, and if the madness was turned on, then these berserk warriors could even shout that I want to fight 10 during the madness, so when they heard that the 140,000 Naga warriors existed, everyone present was terrified.
Perhaps he felt that the morale of the people around him was weakening. Duke Yanshi hurriedly replied, "But don't be careful, although the Naga army of the Sun Never Sets Empire has as many as 140,000 people. But you must know that it is impossible for the Empire of the Sun to send all of them here, because it is impossible for them to send three of the fleets guarding the sea frontier of the Sunset Sea here, plus we have received news that there are only 3 fleets of the Sunset that have fought with us and those hypocrites of the Divine Light Empire before, so even if we count the Royal Navy fleet that is very likely to appear, I think the current fleet of the Sunset Fleet has only 80,000 Naga warriors, and it will not exceed 100,000 at most. ”
After seeing that everyone's complexion improved slightly, Duke Yanshi secretly sighed and continued: "And I said before, the Holy Light Port is very likely to be sneak attacked, and with the information obtained now, the Holy Light Port must be secretly attacked, so what kind of tactics will the Sun Never Set Empire use to sneak attack?" It is definitely the first firepower strike, and then the firepower strike at the same time to send the Naga troops to forcibly land and lay the forward position, to pave the way for the crew of the sunset that will land later, because this is the usual landing battle method used by the Sunset fleet, so in this way, the Holy Light Port side should at least attract more than half of these Naga warriors, after all, if you want to quickly capture the Holy Light Port port area, you need to invest more troops, and according to what we have just seen, the Holy Light Port is lit after 1 hour and nearly two hours, That shows which Naga warriors only took two hours to capture the port area, and the port area of Port St. Light is very large, it is said that there are at least 3 legions guarding it, I believe that even under the attack of the sun and artillery fire, it is impossible for them to break up so quickly, they must have carried out a counterattack after the Naga warriors appeared, Therefore, the number of attacking Naga should exceed the defenders by more than 1.5 times, in addition, I want to say one thing, that is, although the Naga warrior is a sea monster that surpasses the berserker of the Orc Empire in terms of personal quality, but in fact, the Naga warrior may not be able to beat the berserker, because even in the regular battlefield without any influence, the berserker warrior has something that the Naga warrior cannot do - madness, you know how terrifying the berserker warriors under the madness of the Dao are terrifying, and the speed of their madness is 1 hour, This is basically enough for a 10,000-person battle to end the battle, so the number of Naga warriors attacking should be more, and judging from the conclusions calculated from this kind of information, I estimate that the sun does not set at least 60,000 troops to capture the port area of Port Shengguang in two hours, so .........? ”
"So?" Everyone focused their eyes on Duke Yanshi.
"So I estimate that there are only about 20,000 Naga warriors who have come to attack our Demon Flame Castle, and that's basically what our port area can hold, Chris."
"I'm here, Lord Duke." The thief-eyed officer from before said.
"I've said everything I need to say about the port area before, and then I'm going to say the last point, that is, in the case of the same number of people, our human heavy infantry basically can't beat it, if you want to kill these Naga warriors, in addition to relying on some help and small means, you should also have an advantage in numbers, I am now mobilizing the strength of two legions for you, let me ask you, are you confident that you can use 30,000 people to fight these 20,000 Naga warriors back?"
"Trust me, Your Excellency, I can definitely do it." Chris said
"Very good, one more thing you have to remember, we are a defender, not an offensive army, your task is to defend, so don't rush to regain some things that have been lost, sometimes leaving it to the enemy will make the empire annoyed, you should understand what I mean."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Well, go ahead, by the way, go to the armory and let the soldiers bring more weapons like spears and axes, using those things against Naga warriors is much better than the accessories on your waist and the war hammers in the hands of the little lions, and also, bring more labels, this thing will make those who are still bedbugs know who is the king of the King Continent, okay, I'm done with what I have to say, good luck." (To be continued......)
