Chapter 721: Beachbreaking

The longbowmen of the two legions led by the Eternal Night Army were placed two hundred meters from the shore.

The compound shortbows of the soldiers of the East China Sea could hardly directly threaten them even after they came ashore, but the long arrows thrown by their Andes longbow were enough to extend to a hundred and fifty meters above the sea.

Dense rockets soared into the air, forming a rain of rockets and arrows, both in deterrence and lethality, above the soldiers in the East China Sea.

The sound of arrows plunging into flesh and nails into ships came and went.

The warships in the area covered by the rain of rockets and arrows are dotted with fire points, and if they are unfortunate enough to be ignited sails, they will not even have a chance to save them.

The Eternal Night Leader used conventional tactics and did not use artillery battalions.

Because killing and injuring the landing force of the East China Sea Country is not their main purpose in this operation, it is necessary to paralyze them and let them land with peace of mind.

If the artillery shows too much lethality, it will surprise Stubin and change the battle plan, it will be more than worth the loss.

Even in conventional cold weapon warfare, the Eternal Night Commander is the top.

It caused a lot of damage to the East China Sea soldiers who grabbed the beach, and the East China Sea soldiers who were hit by the arrows, like dumplings, were planted into the water in pieces.

"Go ashore, hurry ashore and kill them all. ”

"Brothers, kill me with me! Your Majesty has an order, as long as Jiangmen Port is attacked, half of all the looting and harvest will be owned by individuals. ”

"For the sake of Your Majesty, for the sake of wealth, rush, kill them all. ”

The landing warships of the East China Sea Fleet, under the rain of rockets, approached the shore with difficulty, and at a glance, most of the warships were empty.

It was not that all the East China Sea soldiers on board were shot, but that the East China Sea soldiers who operated the ship, who could not bear the rockets, all jumped into the sea, pushed the warship forward, and used the warship as a shield.

But in the last ten meters, the waist-deep shoals obviously could no longer use this method, so they could only drill out of the cabin and the back one after another, and rush forward.

Because they know that the longer they delay in the shallows, the more waves of arrows they will need to be subjected to, and the more likely they will be shot.

If they were to be strangled with the enemy's infantry, and the archers of the opposing side had any scruples, they would be protected from this threat.

"The 1st Corps of the Bull Legion, follow me. ”

"The 1st Corps of the Fortress Legion, follow me. ”

With the sound of muffled war drums, the Eternal Night Army led the troops of two corps and pushed towards the bandits who had just stepped on the beach with neat steps.

The standard gun forest shield wall is pushed flat, not to mention the legion combat skills, even if it is a personal combat skill, it is not used.

Even so, the East China Sea infantry who also killed were running with their heads in their hands, and the blood flowed like a river, dyeing the landing shoals into blood red.

As far as the army is concerned, the Eternal Night Army Leader and the East Sea Kingdom are not on the same level at all.

If it is said that the regular army of the Eternal Night Army is second, no one in the Acharn Continent dares to say first, including the Kingsley family, which was once famous for its extravagant equipment.

At best, they have their own elite in iron armor, and the Eternal Night Army leads the regular army, and having a battle armor is a must.

After eighteen years and five updates, the armor of the Eternal Night Army Leader is no longer iron armor in the simple sense, not even scale armor, but a hybrid armor of new technology, which perfectly integrates cloth, steel, leather, and magic black technology.

In terms of armor protection, it may be slightly weaker than sealed knight armor, but there are many advantages, such as light weight, comprehensive protection, easy maintenance, etc.

The most important thing is that there are portable spell loop plug-ins, soldiers can carry different spell loops according to their own abilities, troops, and needs, so as to obtain different combat skills, and soldiers with defensive combat skills, when the combat skills are activated, the defensive ability is far above the sealed knight armor, and it is difficult to break their double tortoise shells without rolling strength.

Not to mention the level of training, the regular army led by the Eternal Night Army is a standard professional soldier, and the training has never fallen for a day, as long as the military discipline is strict, training and various materials are in place, under normal circumstances, the combat effectiveness of this army will be above the level line.

Looking back at the East China Sea Kingdom, they were born as pirates, and they did not have the habit of wearing heavy armor at all, and those who could have a shark skin armor that was easy to move in the water belonged to the elite, and most of the sailors were ordinary clothes, and some were even shirtless and barefoot, which was convenient for swimming and climbing.

If you are fighting on the water, you will naturally have an advantage with such equipment, but when you go to the ground, it will be difficult to win a good deal with a regular army that is well-equipped and has the ability to coordinate operations.

In terms of training, not to mention, they require individual combat ability, on top of the ability to cooperate in combat, when charging, there is no cooperation at all.

Especially now that they are halfway through, after the long-range suppression just now, their forces have been seriously dispersed.

"The fish bites, so let's get Lena and Cornell on the move. "Stubin on the flagship Sunrise, seeing the one-sided slaughter on the landing shoal, not only did not have the slightest anger, but showed a smile and gave a new order.

Jiangmen Port sent a legion to prevent their soldiers from rushing to land, which was completely expected by him, if the Eternal Night Army led the turtle to retreat in Jiangmen Port and did not come out, there would be a ghost.

After all, the action they made this time was too big, and the overwhelming fleet, stretching for several kilometers, could not evade the aerial reconnaissance post of the Eternal Night Army Leader.

"The sailors of the First and Second Fleets began to land. The guards beside Stubin commanded loudly, and with the bright banner shaving, the order was passed on quickly.

Soon more giant warships spread out on the sea, and countless small warships were busy, transporting more soldiers from the East China Sea to the shore, the number of small warships was so large that it was overwhelming, and the entire harbor seemed to be echoing with the earth-shattering war drums and the roaring and angry scolding of those pirates, as if they were eager to rush ashore immediately and tear the blockers to pieces.

The first to land was the decoy deliberately thrown by Stubbin, mainly composed of local islanders who had been co-opted, although many of them were brave, but in Stubbin's eyes, they were all consumables, after all, their loyalty could not be guaranteed.

The soldiers who landed in the back are the real main force of the East China Sea Kingdom, most of them are old sailors brought from the Western Sea, whether they are loyal or combative, they are undoubtedly elite soldiers who are not afraid of death.

"All the battleship ballistae are prepared, indiscriminately covered and fired, loaded with gunpowder shells, so that they can taste the taste of their own weapons. Steobin waved his hand and gave the second order.

"Your Majesty, our people are already entangled with them. A hint of hesitation flashed across the adjutant's face, "Won't this cause the natives to be dissatisfied?"

"Huh?" Stubbin's bloodshot eyes swept coldly over the adjutant.

The adjutant shuddered involuntarily, scolded himself with a big mouth, and hurriedly said, "I immediately ordered them to start." ”

"Hmph!" Stubin snorted coldly, poured himself a glass of scarlet wine, and said to himself as he tasted it, "they are already dead from the moment they set foot on the shore, so why care what a group of dead people think? ”

Click!

Accompanied by a series of mechanical turning sounds.

Countless projectiles rose into the air and smashed towards the positions on the shore.

"The trebuchet is coming, form a defensive formation, look for cover!"

"The trebuchet is coming, form a defensive formation, look for cover!"

"The trebuchet is coming, form a defensive formation, look for cover!"

On the battlefield, the shouts of the front-line commanders of the Eternal Night Army, one after another, the soldiers of the Eternal Night who heard the news, whether the blade was only one centimeter away from the enemy, or they were scuffled with the enemy, did not hesitate to activate the battle cry combat technique, the magic energy in the form of sound waves, indiscriminate attacks, directly bounced off the enemies around them, some were too close, and they were directly dizzy by the huge sound wave, and they did not come back to their senses for a few seconds.

"What is this?"

"What just happened?"

"What did they just do?"

Most of the East China Sea soldiers who came into contact with 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 of the Eternal Night Army were reunited, centered on those front-line commanders and soldiers with heavy shields, and regrouped the somewhat scattered defensive formation.

Boom! Boom!

Countless projectiles, not much bigger than fists, smashed down, and explosions rang out one after another.

The black powder fired by the East China Sea Fleet with shipborne ballistas arrived.

After eating black powder on the Danube River, Stubbin was deeply aware of the impact of this new weapon on the mode of naval warfare.

At the same time, he also knew that when he decided to migrate to the East China Sea, the conflict between the two sides was inevitable.

Over the years, they have been frantically researching the use of black powder and how to deal with it.

With no expense, they set up their own black powder production plant five years ago, and integrated its use with the old naval warfare model.

To some extent, the way they use it has not been able to innovate on their own, and they are still copying the methods of imitating the Eternal Night Warlord.

One is to throw a large powder keg directly, this requires a large catapult to carry out, the number is small, and it must be thrown by a large trebuchet mounted on the deck, the hit rate is low, the range is short, but the power is huge, if the small and medium-sized warship is hit, a shot can hit them hard.

One is to throw this iron-clad gunpowder projectile, which is projectile through a ballista, with fast projection speed and long distance, and the power is a little unsatisfactory, just like a large grenade, and it is not an impact explosion, but ignition before ejection like a powder keg, not to mention the trouble, and dangerous, if the throwing fails, it will bloom on its own ship.

Even so, the successful development of these two weapons is also subversive to the East China Sea Fleet's naval combat mode, which is far more powerful than stones and crossbow arrows, and has changed from a simple collision and boarding combat mode to a mixed mode of long-range artillery bombardment followed by close combat.

This is also where Stubbin's confidence lies.

In terms of the use of black powder, they may be a few points inferior to the developer of the Eternal Night Army, but at least they don't have the power to fight back at all.

In the face of the same situation, the different reactions of the soldiers of the Eternal Night and the soldiers of the East China Sea doomed them to different fates in the future.

The soldiers of the East China Sea were stunned, and the black powder scattered bombs had blossomed among them, and the powerful explosive force directly staggered their impact, and the iron sheet endowed with strong kinetic energy by the black powder explosion exerted full lethality in the face of the pirates without armor and thin armor.

Once you are shot in the vital point, you will immediately die on the spot.

Even if you are lucky enough to avoid the vital point, after splashing on the body, you will leave a hole deep to the bone, and the blood will flow like an infusion, and after being soaked in sea water and sweat, you will scream in pain and shiver all over.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the eternal night had already formed huge turtle shells with tower shields, and all the soldiers were huddled behind, and powerful shock waves and sputtered iron pieces crackled and smashed on the turtle shells, stirring up a continuous magic fluorescence.

Obviously, this defensive formation is not a simple physical defense, but also incorporates the elements of magic to coordinate defense.

Both in terms of defensive capability and solidity, it has broken the upper limit of manpower.

A round of vigorous black powder scatter bombs exploded, only causing them to shake for a while, far from the point of collapse.

There were also some soldiers of the Eternal Night who didn't have time to retract into the defensive formation, and they didn't stand stunned like the soldiers of the East China Sea.

Those who can find cover are looking for cover, and those who don't have time to look for 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 explosion side, and the same magic fluorescence flashes all around them, and they also activated their defensive skills for the first time.

With the correct posture, they greatly reduce the surface to withstand impact and splashing, and the chance of being hit is greatly reduced.

Compared with the soldiers of the East China Sea, the soldiers of the Eternal Night Army have rich experience in facing firearm attacks and have undergone special training.

Even if there is an unfortunate one occasionally, as long as it is not directly hit by the black powder scatter projectile, it is usually injured but not killed, and the lethality has been greatly reduced by the splash iron piece weakened by the defensive combat skill and the double layer of the battle armor.

The East China Sea Fleet's Black Powder Scatter VS the Eternal Night Leader's defensive formation.

The defensive formation of the Eternal Night Commander was victorious.

"Rescue!" the voice of the front-line commander of the Eternal Night Army came from inside the defensive formation.

Phew!

There was a loud shout from inside, the defensive formation instantly turned into zero, and the friendly soldiers automatically flashed, if it was a soldier from the East China Sea, they simply rushed to the ground neatly, and without a supplementary knife, they directly stepped over their bodies.

Behind them, there were countless unshielded comrades.

If it is a wounded comrade, it will be dragged directly into the defensive formation, and if it is an enemy, as long as there is a breath, it will be on the fatal point, and a few knives will be made up cleanly.

It was just seven or eight seconds before the second wave of the East China Sea Fleet's black powder scatter salvo arrived.

The defensive formation of the Eternal Night Army Leader was pushed forward by more than twenty meters.

By the time the second wave of black powder scatter bombs fell, they were faced with a more prepared defensive formation.

The results are the same as before.

The covering shots of the East China Sea Fleet did very little damage to the Eternal Night Commander.

On the contrary, it was the cannon fodder troops who landed on their shore that brought a catastrophe.

And every time they reload, it was the time for the Eternal Night Army's defensive formation to attack, and the card was extremely accurate, because their commanders turned on the Eagle Eye Skill and closely followed every move on the surface of the East China Sea Fleet.
