Chapter 239: Landing Exercise 4

However, under the influence of the previous series of new things, the three generals were no longer surprised, they didn't care about exclamation at all, just stared at the strange boat that was driving up on the beach.

The two strange ships are basically similar in appearance, as if they were a floating platform that can walk, and there are erected breastwalls around the upper platform, presumably to prevent them from being hit by the opponent's shots. There are two different things mounted on the platform, one is a long tube with a thick back, and a black board is inserted into one side of the tube; On the other platform, a thick tube is installed, and someone is operating in the back, and someone in front is holding a bottle-like object and stuffing it into the front end of the tube.

There were also about six or seven heavily armed soldiers sitting on the two strange boats, all of them leaning against the breastwork at the moment, carefully guarding the situation around them, although their bodies were bobbing up and down with the undulations of the waves, but under the protection of the breastwork, there was no danger of falling at all.

"These two strange ships must have been used to provide artillery fire." Russell said, Mycenae next to him looked at him in disbelief, "Why do you want such a small gunboat?" They already have so many cannons there, ready to fight, and now to get such small gunboats, wouldn't it be a distraction of all the manpower? ”

"No," Kirkman interrupted the conversation slightly, "this strange ship should be able to land directly like the Chinese ship that can go ashore and return to the sea on its own, and if I am not mistaken, these two strange ships can not only land, but even go inland." ”

Just as the two of them looked at Kirkman with an alien-looking expression, the second batch of Xiaofa landing craft was already fully loaded with soldiers and began to circle around the coastline again. "You see," Kirkman did not intend to explain anything, "their two ships did not have the same plank side as these ships, but seemed to float entirely on the water, so they must have floated on a different principle than those ships, and they were loaded with cannons, so they must have been used to cover infantry attacks." ”

At this moment, two flares were raised from the place where the small hair boat circled on the sea surface, and the small hair boat began to form a formation in the vertical direction of the coastline, and then headed towards the area north of the landing site just now. The marines on the beach were still in a state of being hit by the cavalry at the moment, and they were a little helpless, but they lay on the ground and never got up, and as a burst of gunpowder smoke rose on the sea, the soldiers on the small boats in front began to shoot at those cavalry targets, but the waves on the sea were flying, and there were still few hits.

"This cavalry charge has gone too far, hasn't it?" Xiao Can complained to Horst Kane beside him a little unhappily, in fact, he just said it casually, but in Kane's opinion, this was the chief's inquiry, and he hurriedly stood up and said, "Chief, the attack of this cavalry can be big or small, although we only fought naval battles in Medeno before joining the Senate Navy, but I also heard someone say that the combat effectiveness of those barbarians is basically active on horses, not to mention the rank of advance and retreat, He can also shoot arrows on horseback, and can often use the strength of the horse's running strength to kill and injure opponents with arrows from a hundred paces away-" Speaking of this, Kane was stunned, and hurriedly smiled, "But these little tricks are all small skills of carving insects in front of the chiefs, and they will definitely not be able to rush at a distance of a hundred paces." ”

Xiao Can pursed his lips and said, "I can't rush yet, you see the targets in front of you, they are only less than thirty meters away from the death line, and they are still approaching." ”
