Chapter 788: Battle of the Inland Sea (6)
"Kill them!" Wielding a scythe, the scythe warrior chief in heavy samurai armor commanded his subordinates to tell the griffon knights flying in the air as long as they dared to come.
But now that the war has entered a white-hot state, if those heavy artillery are not removed, the balance of victory will inevitably tilt towards the side of the Xiyi fleet, and the griffin knights resolutely decided after weighing the pros and cons to pull out the heavy artillery batteries even if they use their lives to pile up.
"For the glory of the griffin!" After shouting loudly, these elite warriors riding griffons swooped down to the deck of the Ataka ship under the cover of the griffins, and in less than a minute, the bodies of dozens or hundreds of griffons were slashed to pieces by the scythes in the hands of the samurai, but these heroic griffons sent their comrades to the deck.
Like the royal griffin knights of the Sunset Empire, the griffin knights of the Griffon Empire are also warriors selected from the elite of the army, although in terms of combat skills, Sunrise is stronger than the griffin Empire because all the knights are trained in foot combat, but when it comes to being well-equipped, the Griffin Empire is superior.
The Griffin Empire does not have dwarves who believe in holy light, nor Mo forging people who are proficient in steam machinery, nor do they have the children of the Mo family in the Eastern Continent who are good at mechanical arts, but the Griffin Empire has the most and best forging masters among human beings, Sun Lin once said: "If the craftsmen of the Griffin Empire are handed over to the production system of the Sunset Empire for management, then the amount of equipment produced by the Griffin Empire will reach a hundred times that of the Sunset Empire."
The large and excellent forgers have basically achieved a full re-armor of the Griffon Empire's equipment, unless it is a class that must be equipped with light armor. Whether it is a logistics unit or a militia unit, the soldiers of the Griffon Empire can only be equipped with a half-body plate armor, and the griffin knights who land on the Ataka Ship warship at this time. They are all covered in heavy full-body plate armor with a thickness of more than 5 mm, and they have a one-handed warhammer and steel shield in their hands.
The scythe samurai is the best armor-piercing master in the Xiyi army, in general warfare, when the enemy's heavy armor troops appear, the Xiyi army will definitely mobilize a group of sickle samurai to launch a counter-charge against it, among the three Xiyi legions, the Changyi army is the most composed of the most elite Xiyi samurai, armed with excellent katana, equipped with a certain number of samurai bows, they can cope with all kinds of battles. The Notai Sword Legion is the most capable and mobile of the three legions of Xiyi, and under normal circumstances, these samurai are on the flanks of the army to deal with unexpected situations, and only scythe samurai wearing special heavy samurai armor are used. It is the elite of the three legions of Xiyi.
They are a combination of the "Team Shield" and the "Team Spear", warriors mobilized from the battlefield and the monks' courtyard, wearing heavy samurai armor that ensures the agility of the scythe samurai. Allows it to ignore ordinary flying arrows. And the scythe in his hand, even if it is a steel shield, can cut it in half.
Although the griffin knights who switched to fighting on foot are strong in combat and can wield the war hammer in their hands, the comprehensive ability of the scythe warriors guarding the turret is stronger than them, although both sides are troops that will be exhausted after a long battle, but the heavy samurai armor of the scythe warrior is obviously much lighter than that of the griffin knight, and as time goes by, the griffin knight's disadvantage is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more griffon knights are dying tragically under the scythe and become broken corpses.
In the end, the hundreds of griffon knights who launched an aerial assault did not capture any of the Xiyi forts. Instead, they remained forever on the sea, along with their mounts, and the scythe warriors who were the slaughterers lost less than a hundred men.
However, although the surprise attack of the griffin knights did not interrupt the firing of the heavy guns of the Xiyi warship, it bought valuable time for the griffin imperial sailors who forced them to board the ship.
The Griffon Empire sailors are unable to wear their upper body armor due to the combat environment. However, under the "maintenance" of the griffon empire, each sailor of the griffin empire has in addition to a naval war knife that can cut through wooden planks lightly, and a chain mail that is as light as a garment but has strong defense.
This kind of chain mail is not so much a battle armor, but it is a beautifully crafted garment, but it is such a piece of chain mail that is the same as the clothes, even if it is slashed with a katana, it may not be able to make a hole in it, this magical chain mail is called Mithril in the Griffin Empire, it is said that this is the equipment of the elite troops of the Griffin Empire, and now the Griffin Empire has issued this kind of thing to every griffin sailor, it can be seen that the Griffin Empire is really determined to win this battle.
For the Mithril Armor, even if it is the army of the Empire, the army with sophisticated weapons everywhere is very covetous, because after many tests, the senior forging master of the military department has shown that the defense of the Mithril Armor is stronger than that of the Fish Scale Inner Armor, if you look at the number jรน, the Fish Scale Inner Armor can provide +1 protection, while the Mithril Armor can provide +2 defense. At the same time, the weight of the Mithril Armor is only one-third of that of the fish scale armor due to its material, and it will not affect the flexibility of the soldier at all when worn on the body.
It's a pity that the sun never sets the military department regrets that the material of the Mithril armor is a battle armor forged from a rare metal, and this thing is only available in the middle of the Middle Continent, or only in the middle of the Middle Continent at present, the veins of this rare metal are only found in the middle of the Middle Continent.
"Kill!" Under the protection of the Mithril Armor, although there were still some casualties among the griffon sailors who forced the landing on the Ataka ship, the vast majority of griffon sailors landed on the Ataka ship with uninjured bodies and brandished their weapons to kill the Saiyi warriors.
"For the sun never sets!" The griffin sailors who forcibly boarded the Ataka ship were not a bad breed, but the warriors of the Shoyoshi Legion, who wielded samurai bows, were not even bad breeds.
As the Changyi Legion, which uses traditional katanas, it is the most legendary legion among the three legions of Xiyi, and his fame even surpasses that of the regular army of the sunset, and in the military world of the sunset, his fame has been overpowered by the Longbow Guards, and the fame of the Royal Knights of the Sunset and the Royal Griffin Knights of the Sunset are on a par with the fame of the Royal Knights of the Sunset and the Royal Griffin Knights of the Sunset.
This is unimaginable in many forces, because the Changyi Legion, a legion that is not directly under the direct jurisdiction of various forces (just like the Misharid Empire, which is ranked in the front line are all Mishalian heavy axemen), generally speaking, the reputation is not comparable to that of the special troops that never set, but the Changyi Legion still achieved this.
This is because the Changyi Legion is indeed too good: if the Sun Never Sets Empire really calculates the morale value of each legion, the Changyi Legion can be ranked in the top three, because the members of this legion are real battle maniacs, and the Changyi warriors who serve the bushido all their lives are definitely the ones who crush many regular troops, and the development path of the Changyi Legion is called the Road of the Fire Phoenix and the Road of the Immortal Bird in the military realm of the Sunset, and on the road of expanding from a squad to the legion, the Changyi Legion has twice faced the crisis of annihilation, Several times in the fight against the enemy's entire army with his own strength, and the former commander of the Changyi Legion is the first samurai of Xiyi, and now he is regarded as the successor of the next shogun Oda Nobunaga, many legendary Changyi Legions can simply rank among the top ten armies of the King Continent, if it weren't for the fact that its number is only too low.
Swing the knife, decapitate, swing the knife again, decapitate againWhen the well-armed griffin sailors began to board the Ataka ship one by one, the long-awaited Changyi warriors scattered directly around the Xiyi Fort, hunting and killing the enemies who rushed over with a roar as a group, right! It's hunting, in the eyes of these Changyi warriors, these guys who rush up are not worthy of fighting them at all, they are just their own prey.
With no voice and no expression, the Shoyoshi samurai, hidden beneath the Oni-Faced King, always maintained a rhythmic killing on the Ataka battleship, and for those invading enemies, they sat with the most insipid mood to let the enemy gradually collapse in battle.
When a period of time passed, and the air began to fill with a thick smell of blood, on the deck of the attacked Ataka battleship, in addition to the busy Xiyi gunners and the scythe samurai who formed an iron bucket array to surround the fort, there were only those Shoyi samurai who stood on the deck like cold-blooded devils, and the original silver samurai armor had turned into blood-red battle armor, and there were heads and headless corpses scattered all over the ground.
Of course, there are also the griffin sailors who are gradually collapsing, they are not those fanatics of the Holy Light Empire, and they are crazy and can even use their teeth as murder weapons, but in their opinion, these Zhangyi warriors in front of them are the real monsters, although the madmen are crazy, they at least look like they are still human, and these guys in front of them have no trace of humanity at all.
"Fight back!" When the flag was waved in the distance, the leader of the Shoyoshi samurai who had hunted the griffin sailors finally uttered the first words since the battle began, and the Shoyoshi samurai who had received the order began to gather and move towards the griffin battleship.
Are they going to fight back? Are they going to capture the griffon? How is this possible? When the Shoyi samurai began to counterattack, the griffin sailors who boarded the Ataku ship had great doubts in their hearts, and at the same time, they felt very ridiculous about the current battle situation, although the sun did not set was the side attacking the griffin port, but in this battle of the inland sea, it seemed that the sun did not set was completely the defensive side and the weak side, but they chose to counterattack?
But soon the griffin sailors all acquiesced, you say that the sun never sets is the weaker side, why are these guys able to send such a large number of elite troops from the warships of the Ataka ship? Obviously, until now, the allies have not been until now, and the Xiyi fleet has firmly held the Xiyi three legions in the hands of the fleet, and they don't know that so far the Changyi Legion and the Scythe Legion have not excluded all their forces, and the Yetaidao Legion among the three legions has not yet joined the battlefield.
"Get out of the way! The Royal Fleet is ready to strike! At the same time, in the rear of the Xiyi fleet group, among the armed transport ships that had not yet joined the battleship, Tanegashima Kuniken, wearing samurai armor, stood above the bow of the victory ship and shouted, and behind the Royal Victory Ship of the Sunset, there were several giant battleships similar to it, the biggest feature of these battleships is that they all have a huge lion statue hanging on the bow, which is the symbol of the royal sunset.
