Chapter 24: Manov's Command (I)

The sea tribe is a race that grows in the deep sea, they have been actively in contact with the outside world since they came into contact with the sea world, the importance of ships to them can be imagined, after thousands of years of development, they have both underwater and sea combat capabilities of fully enclosed warships to make many human empires look up, it can be said that there is a big gap between the combat effectiveness of human beings and sea tribes in sea warfare.

Generally, if the Sea Clan wants to attack a port city, it can drive under the sea until it is close to the destination and then float up, so that it can theoretically catch the enemy off guard, after all, the Sea Clan is not as good as humans in land combat, even if it is flawed, but it is the best tactic for the Sea Clan. But now more than fifty warships are swaggering over the sea, and no measures have been taken to interfere with the watchtowers of Cankula Harbor.

This is tantamount to ignoring the port of Cankula at all.

"With their strength, they do have the capital not to take us seriously, at least there are more than fifty warships on the surface, they have submarine technology, it is impossible not to use them, there must be troops under the sea to avoid our reconnaissance, and they must be prepared to suddenly emerge dozens of warships from under the sea," Hisali stood on the inner city wall and held a telescope and said, through the mirror, she could see the enemy's warships, but the fully enclosed design made her unable to determine how many people were inside: "I feel that things are not so simple, they may not be bent on occupying the port, There is no need to be so swaggering at all, and the commander who can command so many warships will not be a megalomaniac. ”

"What if they want to crush us head-on at a devastating speed in order to put pressure on Your Majesty? After all, there are elite troops of Commander Manov here. Grant, who was on the side, reminded that Manov is now actively organizing the city defense forces, and in order not to make trouble for the other party, he will temporarily hand over his part of his functions to the other party, after all, if there are two commanders in this situation, it is not good, and he is far less powerful than Manov's military command ability.

"Unless they want to joke with their own lives, since ancient times, humans on the ground have been stronger than the Sea Clan, not to mention the troops of the Kancy Fortress, if they want to attack, we must have done an investigation, it is not a secret that Commander Manov was transferred here before, unless they stay at sea all the time, otherwise they have to be prepared for heavy losses."

"It's true... Hissally's obsessive trust in Manoff upset Grant, but there was no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Cancy Fortress troops.

"Uncle Grant, have you ever asked for help from Cancy Fortress?"

"Not yet," Grant was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "But I have already asked the imperial capital for help, I believe that the reinforcements should be able to arrive in a few days, and it should be able to hold on in a few days, this month's encirclement and suppression of the sea monster is almost undead, and the combat effectiveness of our troops is not bad." ”

"It's not a question of combat effectiveness, let's not talk about whether the enemy only has more than fifty warships, why don't you ask for help if the Kansi Fortress is very close to us? Marshal Leon and his father are close friends and are unequivocal in dealing with the invaders, he can get here in the shortest possible time, as for the imperial capital, maybe how long will it take to talk about it, those slanders against me can be spread so much that it proves that there are many bigwigs in the country who have a lot of opinions about me, I don't know how long it will take for reinforcements to arrive, why don't you go to the Cancy Fortress to ask for help? ”

"Yes, I'll send someone." It's not often that Hisali gets angry, she's been giving the impression of being good-tempered this month, and now she's obviously angry, Grant doesn't say anything and is ready to call someone to Cancy Fortress, his original idea was that it wouldn't take much longer to send someone to the imperial capital, so that maybe he could get more reinforcements, and it was obvious that he was thinking too little.

"Don't bother, I've already sent someone to inform Lord Leon."

"What a great help, Captain Manov." Hisali exhaled a long breath, her expression was slightly better, and she turned her head to Grant with an embarrassed expression and said: "I was a little more impulsive just now, the next time I encounter this kind of thing, I will ask for help from the imperial capital and the Kanxi fortress at the same time, so it will be much more comprehensive, besides, not all officials are the main battle faction." ”

"I'm so sorry...

"I have just laid out the defensive line, and the civilians have all been evacuated, our understanding of the Sea Clan warships is still more than a hundred years ago, when their maximum attack distance was 12,000 meters, I asked the troops to retreat 30,000 meters, which can force them to fight on land, and the 28 kilometers of land between the port and the second outer city wall can only be temporarily abandoned, and we will fight back when their land troops are almost consumed, and we can only do this at present, More than a hundred years ago, they used an extremely terrifying magical naval artillery attack to destroy more than 10,000 elite troops of the Waxinlei Empire that provoked them in just over ten minutes, and destroyed the strong Mithril City Wall. ”

"I know, but after giving up the two walls, there is only one wall left, so can you hold it? What if their sea forces are waiting for us to kill them back at sea? Hisali frowned, although Manov's plan was good, but if you think about it, there are many loopholes.

"The offensive of the magic energy naval guns lies in the fixed point and they can't attack targets within a thousand meters, when I found out about the enemy, I have already asked five hundred soldiers and ten warships to retreat in two directions, and they will kill back after my message, and our ground forces will cooperate to make the enemy difficult to care about, so that even if they can't sink, they can repel these sea clan warships, and besides, the land troops are exhausted, are they still staring at us?"

"That's right." Hisali nodded.

Rumble!

With the first loud bang, the first outer city wall began to shake violently, and the land within a range of more than twenty kilometers was saturated with overwhelming magic energy shells and bombarded one deep pit after another, and the undefended outer city wall was destroyed at a speed visible to the naked eye, but in five minutes, this very strong city wall in the human empire completely collapsed, and the sea clan ship guns were so powerful that Hisali began to be glad to have a commander like Manov to assist her, after all, the average commander would not dare to give up such an order as thirty kilometers.

"The shelling of the naval guns has stopped, and it seems that the range of their shelling is more than twenty kilometers." Grant scratched his head, feeling apprehensive, he had never seen such a powerful naval artillery attack.

"Wait," Manov said to the herald with his binoculars, looking at the situation over there, "pass my order, control the interference puppets to ascend the second wall, and make a feint against the enemy." ”

"Yes!"

The cost of interfering controllable puppets is not high, as long as there are puppeteers in the army to operate, there is naturally no shortage of such talents in the Kancy Fortress, and Manov's purpose in doing this is to mislead the enemy, only to see that three minutes later, thousands of figures appeared on the second city wall, even if you look at the fully armed puppets with a telescope, there is not much difference between the fully armed puppets and the real people, and a row of magic cannons blasted towards the enemy's ships, Although the accuracy of the magic cannon operated by the puppeteer through the puppet is very low, the distance of 30 kilometers is not very accurate even if it is controlled by professionals.

Sure enough, the second round of naval artillery bombardment began, and the second wall was quickly destroyed in the artillery fire as before, and a few minutes later the first Sea Clan warriors landed on the beach, they were fully armed and covered in armor with a magical luster, which shows that in order to make up for the lack of deep sea creatures fighting on land, the Sea Clan officers also took a lot of effort.

"It's a pity that it's not the royal way to make up for combat effectiveness with magical equipment alone," Manov said to the messenger, "Get all the troops ready, and give me a hard fight when the Sea Clan is close to the position less than three kilometers!" ”
