Chapter 611: The Battleship Comes Out
"It seems that the good brother of this queen is still very cautious, we made such a big move, he only sent less than half of his troops to the rescue"
Cleopatra said after seeing the situation of Alexandria's troops.
The person present who knew the strength of Ptolemy XIII best was Cleopatra, who was in charge of the situation in Alexandria before the two were completely divided, and Cleopatra naturally knew the situation of the troops in Alexandria.
According to Cleopatra, Ptolemy XIII's total strength in Alexandria should be much more than the total strength of Yang Rui and Cleopatra.
This point has not been mentioned by Cleopatra before, and it is not clear whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Cleopatra reported that Ptolemy XIII had only half the number of troops than her, and now it seems that this is probably not the case.
I don't know what Cleopatra's intentions are, if Yang Rui is afraid to quit because he is worried that it will be too difficult, then it is not necessary, no matter how difficult the task is, in fact, Yang Rui basically has no way out in order to be able to return to the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region.
Cleopatra's words and deeds actually represent her attitude, Yang Rui originally felt that after these Ptolemy XIII troops who left the city left, they might not be able to storm Alexandria, but then Cleopatra did not approve of the assault for the time being on the grounds that there were too many defenders in the city.
This made Yang Rui, Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Guo Jia, and Xu You a little confused, could it be that Ptolemy XIII in the city still had any hole cards?
Of the three reinforcements sent from Alexandria, one of them left the city and boarded a ship in the Nile. Swim upriver along the waterway. In the direction of the city of Cairo and the city of Jiza.
One of the other two reinforcements crossed the Nile. Advance along the east coast, in the direction of Saith City; The remaining one did not cross the river and advanced along the other side of the Nile, heading to the cities of Saqara and Fehrum.
Under Cleopatra's construction, Yang Rui and the others decided to continue to make some big moves in the farther areas of the periphery, until Ptolemy XIII was sick and further emptied, and then raided Alexandria.
In the end, among all three Alexandria reinforcements, Yang Rui chose the water route to follow all the way up, and when he entered the player's Exotic Space Tournament, he brought all 50,000 exclusive special troops, the 5th Rank Scale Armor Water Pawn. And 7 warships of various types have not yet come in handy.
At this time, most of the reinforcements along the waterway in Alexandria were transport ships, and even if there were several warships to escort them, they were not very large, at most they were only the smaller of the medium-sized ships, and they were more than half a pull smaller than their ships.
Among Yang Rui's 7 warships, there are 2 Jumbo-class building ships, each of which can carry 3,000 soldiers or various personnel, 3 large fighting ships, each of which can carry 1,200 soldiers or various personnel, and 2 medium-sized warships. Each ship can carry 600 soldiers or various types of personnel.
After all 7 warships were built, they were trained under the command of Tai Shici. He hadn't experienced any battles, including the 5th-order scale armor sailors and other types of soldiers, and at this time, Yang Rui was also interested in trying the water combat power of these warships and soldiers.
Two days later, when the reinforcements from the middle of the Nile River marched to about half a distance from the city of Jiza, they suddenly saw several battlefields pressed by the upper reaches of the Wu, the number of these warships was not too many, but the scale of each one was very large, giving people a feeling of breathlessness.
"Boom Boom"
"Plop Plop"
“”
The Alexandria reinforcements had never seen such a large ship before, but at first they thought that they were just some large transport ships, and they were curious but not worried.
However, at a distance of thirty or forty feet, these big men began to roar, and the roar was endless, and the "black shadow" spit out by the other party was really able to land near the reinforcements at such a long distance.
Although most of them hit the Nile, there were still several "black shadows" that happened to land on the transport ship, and one of them was a little smaller, and even half of the bow of the ship was smashed!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Ready to engage in battle"
“”
Although a few large ships upstream are menacing, but simply attack in the way just now, the waterway reinforcements are not afraid, they occupy an absolute advantage in the number of troops, and there are escort warships, in their opinion, a few large ships upstream is not enough to support at all, and they just rush up and take it.
However, the next situation was completely unexpected, and it also made them realize that sometimes there are times when quantity can not be determined and supplemented, but by the time they have this idea, it is already a little late
"Archers ready to shoot!"
The few big ships upstream are naturally Yang Rui's building ships, fighting ships and ships, and the first round of shooting was issued by 40 large national collapses, and the "black shadows" in the eyes of the downstream reinforcements are the "cannonballs" of large national collapses.
Yang Rui also tried to arrange the large-scale national collapse on the two building ships, and the building ships were reserved with large equipment "sockets" such as throwing cars, stones, and iron buckets.
Judging from the previous round of shooting, the effect of the large-scale national collapse shooting was not very good, not to mention the low hit rate, and it also caused a large shaking of the building ship, which was the result of Yang Rui grasping the hull amplitude and shooting in batches.
The damage caused by the large-scale collapse was limited, and it was obvious that the downstream reinforcements were not intimidated by this attack, and rushed towards the upstream with all their strength, and after the other party entered the range of the archers, Yang Rui issued a design order.
At the same time, Yang Rui did not assign lower-level sailors to fight while retreating, after all, it was the first time to use these ships, Yang Rui did not have any macro impression of their combat power, and the number of opponents was too much, once the opponent was attached to the hull, he could only rely on a few 5th-order scale armor sailors to fight with him in close combat.
The number of archers in the ship's superstructure is also small, after all, the number of people that can be accommodated in each ship is limited, and the total number of troops in the current seven ships is only about 13,000.
