Chapter 791: Battle of the Inland Sea (9)

Why did many forces begin to regard the Empire as enemies after the rise of the Empire? The aggressiveness of the Empire on which the sun never sets is certainly worrying, but if nothing sustains it, it is just a joke, a joke like Yoro's arrogance.

Is it the elite army of the empire on which the sun never sets? No, the sun never sets on the army, which is strong in all aspects, but it is really weak in terms of troops, and even the strongest man will be helpless in the face of many enemies; Is it a famous navy? No, the King Continent is a continent that competes for land and not a continent that conquers the seas; So is the sun never setting on the strength of the country? It is even more impossible, because here the threat of a country is always measured by the combat effectiveness of that country.

The most important reason why the King Continent regarded the Sunset Empire as hostile at the beginning was actually the advanced war equipment that the Sunset Empire had shown in battles again and again: it can be seen from many battles fought by the Sunset Empire that many of the factors that really made the Sunset Empire remain undefeated in the war came from the large and small war instruments and weapons produced by the Sunset Empire, and Sun Lin himself admitted that if the Sunset Empire had not developed and built scorpion crossbows, pot throwing crossbows, With war equipment such as Greek fire, more than half of the records of the empire on which the sun never sets will be likely to change from victory to defeat, even now, if it were not for the large number of artillery in the Maginot Army, then the number of enemies who would force the Maginot Line every day would be nearly 1 times as many as it is now.

What makes everyone remember that the sun never sets on the empire has terrifying combat power is Greek fire. But the enemy that was most destroyed was not Greek fire, not the current artillery, but the sniper crossbow, which was often forgotten by the enemy on the battlefield.

A few years ago. Around the time when the territory of the Sunset Empire had not yet fully annexed the western part of the Central Continent, the standard configuration of the war equipment of each infantry regiment was: 100 canister crossbows and 300 scorpion crossbows, and at that time, nearly half of the people in almost every army knew how to control the scorpion crossbow.

The rapid development of Sunset technology, although it did not retire the canister crossbow, but it made the real killing equipment on the battlefield of the Sunset army - the scorpion crossbow and the city defense giant crossbow decommissioned. As for the navy, these two war equipment were decommissioned earlier, and these two things were quickly replaced by artillery in the eyes of everyone.

But today, the logistics fleet, which never fell that day, has once again brought up these equipment. When these guys appeared in the eyes of the world again, the generals of the allied forces suddenly woke up in a cold sweat, and they forgot that when the sun never set on the empire, when they had the giant crossbow to defend the city, they were able to shoot the enemy warship directly in two. They forget jì even more. At that time, any warship that was the enemy of the Imperial Navy could not escape the fate of being shot into a hornet's nest, and the hornet's nest at that time was the real hornet's nest, because the extremely penetrating naval battle scorpion crossbow could pierce through the shell of the battleship as lightly as a silver needle piercing a balloon.

"Turn the rudder! Give your enemies a taste of the power of the Scorpion Crossbow. In the roar, one after another armed transports entered the battlefield, killing the enemies above the griffin and holy light warships with the excellent accuracy of the scorpion crossbow, while more armed transports directly rushed into the Allied warships under the leadership of the sailors, and then began a fierce engagement battle.

Each armed transport ship has only 12 scorpion crossbows on the left and right sides combined. The city defense giant crossbow can only carry one due to the structure of the transport ship, but it relies on the number of more than 100 warships. The insertion of armed transport ships still has a lot of impact on the battlefield.

"Damn! This group of Xiyi people actually has a troop hidden, but it seems that this is also the last one, right? Heralds, call all the ships and join the battlefield at this moment, I'm going to leave all these guys here! "The number of casualties continued to rise, and the Allied commanders had to choose to put all the remaining warships on the battlefield.

Compared with the armed transport ships of the Xiyi fleet, the final investment of the Allies was a little messy: in addition to the more than 100 transport ships used by the regular navy, there were also 100 light warships and dozens of medium warships, and as for the heavy warships, except for a few command ships owned by the Allied commanders, there was no superfluous.

Although the light warships can not control the battlefield, but they can complete the task of containment, the advantage of the armed transport ships that do not set is that the hull structure is strong and huge, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the mobility of the battleships is not very good, and the insertion of more than 100 light warships of the allies will soon counter the armed transport ship group of the sunset.

Although the armed transport ship has good naval weapons, but the number of people carried on the armed transport ship is not large, at present, the troop configuration on each armed transport ship is only the original crew of the transport ship plus a small team, almost only a few dozen Xiyi warriors, on the other hand, the Allied side needless to say, even the light warships owned by the Allied forces are now full of marine troops retreating from the Lower Maginot Line.

"Kill!" The pace of the war has long allowed for the so-called tug-of-war, and the armed transport ship group, which has just joined the battlefield for less than half an hour, has also begun to join the broadside battle, and after the deck is erected, the Cliff warriors with shields and war hammers are willing to seize an armed transport ship in the summer with their superior physical qualities and fierce fighting methods.

These mountain people from the northern part of the Central Continent are the mainstay of the dragon warriors in the northern snow-capped mountain region, and they possess strong bodies that ordinary people do not have, and it is said that it is because these guys hunt mountain dragon beasts for food, and the short and concise war hammers in their hands are now all stained with the blood of the sunset logistics soldiers and sailors, and even brains.

The enemy is extremely fierce, but the sailors who never set the sun are also not vegetarians.

"Come on, you bald boys, don't you want to take my warship? Then go to hell with me! When dozens of bloodthirsty Cliff warriors smashed open the door of the captain's room of the armed transport, the Cliff warriors were horrified to find that the captain of the armed transport was holding a torch in his hand in the room, and behind him were several red barrels.

The smell of sulfur in the air, and the obvious black powder on the ground, made the heads of several Cliff warriors who had fought in the Battle of Lower Maginot almost instantaneous, and they knew what was in the barrels in front of them.

"Hurry....Run!" The moment the arm of the armed transport captain began to droop, several Cliff warriors immediately reacted of their own: several shouted for help, several turned and ran but were blocked by their comrades who kept rushing into the captain's room, and the only sane flew towards the captain of the armed transport ship on which the sun never set, his hands trying to save the torch, although it was possible to make his hands useless, but at least it would ensure that Mars would not touch the black powder on the ground.

He hugged it! In just a few breaths, the sane Chris warrior used all his strength to stop the drooping torch, but he failed as a tiny spark jumped out of the torch and fell into the black powder.

"Boom!" The shell of the armed transport ship will basically be installed with a layer of iron armor to reduce the damage suffered by the transport ship, which also strengthens the structure of the armed transport ship, but when a loud noise sounded, I saw an armed transport ship suddenly explode, countless pieces of wood with fire flew from the huge explosion center to the surroundings, and the huge impact and destructive power made the griffin warship next to it lose half of the hull, as well as hundreds of soldiers who landed on the armed transport ship.

"The sun never sets on people actually put explosives in the armed transport ship, are these guys going to die with us?" The Allied forces don't want to die, because they think they have enough people to completely swallow the huge Xiyi warship in front of them, and the sun doesn't set is really done, if you dare to take my ship, I will play with you, this is much more ruthless than the Allied side, which also makes the Allied side feel a deep chill.

Now, it had become a difficult choice whether to fight or not, and the Allied sailors who had fought broadside battles had found that if the sun did not set on such a way of fighting together, they would end up with a dead end.

Of course, Xiyi's side will not give the enemy time to choose, the first captured armed transport ship is like a signal, at the moment of the explosion, the allies found that those thousand fire ships that were staring at themselves, as well as those huge battleships that never set, began to rush to the battlefield with all their might.
