"Attack Jiangmen Port. Gabley directly threw out his own analysis, "If the East China Sea Kingdom is really just besieging Jiangmen Port, they don't need to use so many warships at all, after all, they don't know that our warships are equipped with artillery, and their combat effectiveness has increased significantly, they are likely to think that they have an absolute advantage at sea, and take the opportunity to play a big game, and the water flow rises sharply in the autumn rainy season, but not only the five rivers, but also the Donao River, when the mine arrangement will inevitably be affected, if they don't count the casualties, what if they use small boats to mine regardless of casualties?"

Kelman, the other main chief of staff, also nodded in agreement and said: "Over the years, the East China Sea Kingdom has tested our mine arrays, and even stole a lot of mines from us, so I have reason to believe that they have mastered a certain method of mine clearance, and even they have mastered the method of making black powder."

Stubin is a man who will be avenged, and he thinks he is extraordinary, and he has always held a grudge against the great loss he suffered on the Danube River, as a lifelong shame, and has always held a grudge, he will inevitably hold the mind of getting up from where he fell, and over the years, the heart of annexing the Danube has not died.

Those five rivers are only temporary plundering channels for them, and even if we don't resist, they will eventually have to withdraw because of the weather.

How can they be satisfied with this when they think they have the advantage of military power?

Taking down the Danube River, which allows their huge fleet to enter and exit the Danube Plain freely, is the royal way, and then the entire Danube Plain will tremble under his fleet, which is what he wants most.

In order to achieve this strategic goal, Jiangmen Port has to fight, even if it pays a certain price, and it will not hesitate to do so. ”

"They have enough troops, and there is a greater possibility of attacking on two fronts. ”

"Jiangmen Port is located in the river, the terrain is relatively narrow, their huge fleet, can not be used at all, if it is me, I will be along the coast, near the natural deep-water port, put down the infantry, water and land at the same time, gnaw down Jiangmen Port, their giant warships should not be the main offensive force, but used to transport troops. ”

"I also agree with the speculation that they will attack the port of Jiangmen and plunder the Danube Plain through other tributaries. ”

"I agree. ”

"I agree. ”

All the marshals present at the meeting affirmed and supported the analysis of the two main chiefs of staff.

Their analysis is not so troublesome, it is just a reversal.

If you use such a huge force yourself, it will definitely not be as simple as showing off your might or plundering.

"Now that the military objectives of the other side have been basically determined, how do you marshals think we should fight this battle?" Sean threw out another topic.

"How else can you fight, of course, the soldiers will flood the water and intercept the whole line. ”

"It's too passive. ”

"Do you have a better way?"

"I had an immature idea, but it was a bit risky. ”

"Fighting a war is an adventure, if you have any good ideas, hurry up and listen to it. ”

Kelman cleared his throat and spoke again: "Regardless of Stubbin's strategy and tactics, one thing must be unexpected for them, that is, our new warship equipped with magic sails and cannons is far more powerful than they imagined.

In their point of view, their huge fleet occupies an absolute advantage, and our navy can only retreat in the Danube River, relying on Jiangmen Port to defend and counterattack, and all the initiative is in their hands.

Strategy and tactics are all about attacking them and taking them by surprise, so why don't we make full use of their blind spot and give them a punch?"

Marshal Arnold's eyes lit up and said, "What does the chief of staff mean that the Explorer Navy takes the initiative to attack?"

"It's not just about being proactive. Kelman didn't sell off, and directly threw out his entire strategic intent, "The main force of the Explorer Navy entered the East China Sea, hibernated, leaving only a part of the warships in Jiangmen Port, putting on a defensive counterattack posture, confusing Stubbin, and when they start attacking Jiangmen Port with all their might, you will attack their main fleet from the rear, once their main fleet can't withstand the surprise attack of our Explorer Navy, what will be launched next, I don't think I need to say more, right?"

"It's a good surprise, it's unprepared, this trick is too vicious, but I like it. Marshal McGee patted his thigh and laughed, "At that time, they not only attacked the fleet of Jiangmen Port, but also penetrated into our mine array, and the army had already landed, once their main fleet at sea was defeated by our navy, regardless of the results of the battle at sea, these two roads would basically be dumplings, and I don't know how refreshing the food would be at that time, and the matter of guarding Jiangmen Port would be handed over to our skull crushing army." ”

"You old boy, no matter what time you want, you want to grab the best job, this time you can't let you, the cavalry of our Guards Regiment is the best at hunting, you better obediently go and guard your river," Marshal Dicron will not accommodate Marshal Mackey.

"Two marshals, it is unkind to do this, the defense of Jiangmen Port has always been presided over by our Third Army, isn't it a bit unkind for you, as a supporting guest army, to rob us of our work as soon as you get started?"

Marshal Erikson was also not to be outdone, unwilling to give people the credit that was close at hand, and his rebuttal also made the two marshals a little speechless, "When the time comes, they are all fish on the shore, even if they jump hard, they can't turn over, speed is not important, the focus is on stability, but the defense of other river sections, the requirements for mobility are relatively high, the Guards Corps is the most mobile corps among us, this task is not to be compromised, right? We don't have time to change defenses at all, so it's the most appropriate to station a defense nearby, right?"

"The battle hasn't started yet, but you guys are the ones who have taken the lead. Sean couldn't help but laugh and scold, these marshals are not so much stealing credit for themselves, but for the benefit of their subordinates, but when it comes to the real assignment of tasks, they can't help them.

"Marshal McGee. "Sean ordered the generals.

"In. Marshal McGee rose in response.

"Give you two ships, you lead the army to guard the line of the Bashu River, and you must not let those robbers penetrate deep into our hinterland, if it affects the autumn harvest here, I will hold you accountable. ”

"Yes. ”

"Order Marshal Tagore to lead the Tiger Legion to reinforce the Yudai River, and at the same time send two ships to him. ”

"Yes. ”

"Marshal Yar, your two ancestral spirit legions are stationed on the line of the Mais and Ness rivers respectively, and when the time comes, two ships will be sent to support you on each river. ”

"Yes. ”

"Marshal Dicklon, you lead the two armies of the Guards and the Cliff, send four ships to assist you in guarding the Banes River, and at the same time be ready to respond to the port of Jiangmen at any time. ”

"Yes. ”

"Marshal Erickson, your Third Army is still guarding Jiangmen Harbor, the Explorer Navy has left ten wave-breaking warships to assist in the defense, and the rest of the warships are led by Marshal Arnold to go to sea, hibernate in a roundabout way, obey orders, and launch a surprise attack on the enemy's main fleet. ”

"Yes. "Marshal Eriksen and Marshal Arnold rose at the same time to answer the call.

"Now that the order is clear, let's start the operation, and within three days, all the legions will enter the designated combat positions. Sean said with a solemn expression.

"Yes. All the marshals answered in unison.

"I wish us a victorious start and a heavy blow to Stubbin's East China Sea Fleet in one fell swoop, reversing the offensive and defensive situation on both sides. Sean waved his arm heavily.

"Eternal night wins. The marshals shouted in unison.

As the agile figure of the mountain eagle shuttled over the Danube Plain, the Eternal Night Leader began to turn, and every Eternal Night Leader was a small cog on this machine, and when everyone stuck to their posts and completed their own tasks, it was in the best condition.

On the first night of the Eternal Night Commander's Battle Meeting, the Explorer Navy of the Eternal Night Army took advantage of the darkness to sail out of Jiangmen Port and into the East China Sea, and the East China Sea Fleet led by Steubin arrived in the early morning of the next day.

Before King Stubin set out on his expedition, he repeatedly warned himself not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

In the end, he still made the same mistake as last time, that is, he underestimated the ability of the Eternal Night Army to develop technology.

Still looking at and measuring the Eternal Night Commander with the old eyes, thinking that his huge fleet occupies an absolute advantage, and the other party does not have the courage to engage in a large-scale naval battle with him, and his vigilance is naturally inferior, and he doesn't even put a long outpost on the sea, so he rushes up with such a big face.

Then again, even if you let it go, it's useless.

Limited by means of communication, if the distance between the two sides is too far, there is no way to communicate, even the mountain eagle of the eternal night army is not easy to use, after all, the mountain eagle recognition mode is relatively rigid, it is between points, and the sea warship is in a state of motion, if the mountain eagle wants to find the target, it has to rely on luck, and it is more likely that it is gone forever.

Fortunately, the Eternal Night Leader is about to break the shackles in this regard, and the radio research team led by Sean has made a breakthrough, and in the near future, the ships of the Eternal Night Commander are expected to be equipped with magical communication devices for long-distance positioning and communication.

However, this is a matter of the future, and there is no chance to use it in this all-out naval battle with the East China Sea State.

Stubbin's strategy and tactics did not jump out of the speculation and prediction of the Eternal Night Lord.

After the East China Sea Fleet arrived at the mouth of the Danube River, it began to divide its forces.

More than 2,000 small and converted warships were heading north along the coastline of the Danube Plain, apparently in search of the inflated estuaries of the river and preparing to take advantage of the situation.

The remaining more than 1,000 ships were to cooperate with giant warships to unload infantry on the coastline.

Port Oppe.

Selected large-scale landing sites for the East China Sea Fleet.

Located 10 kilometers above the mouth of the Donao River, it is the closest natural landing point to Jiangmen Port, and the next natural landing point like this will need to go 80 kilometers upstream.

The East China Sea Fleet is fighting away from home, and landing operations are its own shortcomings, and the shorter the marching distance on the ground, the better, and it will certainly be closer than far.

The East Sea Fleet knows this, and so does the Commander of the Eternal Night.

The Eternal Night Army, led by the Third Army's two armies, the Bull and the Fortress, set up camp in such a bright and clear manner at the most suitable landing location in Port Op Bay, posing in a sniper posture.

"Send those natives to the new army, and go up and try these guys first. Stubin waved his hand expressionlessly.

"Ordered the sailors of the Third Fleet to land. ”

With the sound of rumbling war drums, a third of the small warships of the East China Sea Fleet moved, changing from slow to fast, and rushed towards the shallows.

Although they only dispatched more than 300 small warships, the momentum was still very terrifying.

On the bow of each small warship of the East China Sea Fleet is a cowhide drum, and next to it is a sturdy man waving a double hammer, which is accompanied by the fierce and tyrannical shouts of the sailors on the ship.

The bow drum is not a means unique to the East China Sea Fleet, but a regular means for all fleets of the Cummins family.

The Cummins family has already developed the use of this drum to the extreme, and there is even a psychological warfare color in it.

Contacting friendly forces with the sound of drums, telling them where they are, and passing orders to attack and retreat are all routine operations.

When they plundered, once they found that their whereabouts were exposed, they would beat their drums and show their might to the enemy.

Many poorly trained soldiers, or local garrisons that had managed to muster up the courage to resist, often collapsed without a fight in the face of this psychological offensive, making it easier for the Cummins fleet to land and plunder.

This time was no exception.

When three hundred war drums beat in unison, it was really a drumbeat that shook the sky, and if it was an ordinary army, it was really possible to be intimidated by them.

But unfortunately, they are now facing a regular army with a long training of the Eternal Night, and their will is so iron that they are not moved by it.

"Steady, steady, wait until they're close before fighting. ”

"Everyone does the final gear check. ”

"Take it easy, just like our usual training, they are just a bunch of bluffing toothless sharks, and when they come ashore, let's show them what a real regular army is. ”

The front-line commanders of the Eternal Night Army were full of orders and cheers, one after another.

Although there was no earth-shattering sound of war drums, the strong confidence revealed in it made the soldiers feel at ease.

"The archers prepare, shoot, shoot, kill them all. ”

The landed soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet took the lead in launching a long-range attack when they could not bear it.

At this time, their lack of training and the advantages and disadvantages of front-line commanders were vividly displayed.

When the landed warship was two or three hundred meters from the shore, the soldiers on the warship began to bend their bows and shoot arrows, and most of the short bows they held in their hands were compound short bows, and the range was quite limited, not to mention falling into the camp of the bull and the fortress legion, and there were not many of them that could land on the beach.

As the ships continued to advance, arrows began to fall on the top of the positions of the leading regiments of the Eternal Night Army, and all the soldiers remained motionless, and after falling in the legions, the lethality caused was quite limited, because they were now in a defensive formation, and the front and overhead were tightly protected by composite tower shields.

The composite short bow in the hands of the soldiers of the East China Sea was not enough to penetrate the tower shield specially made of composite materials by the commander of the Eternal Night Army.

"Rocket, ready, put. ”

And at this time, the counterattack of the Eternal Night Army Leader arrived.
