CH.77 All the way forward
The commander was anxious to show himself, and fought very aggressively, and the flotilla rushed to the shore under the artillery fire from the opposite side. As the distance closes, the artillery offensive on the opposite side has obviously intensified, and the attack that falls on the sea surface will set off a huge column of water every time, and the entire sea surface will churn, thanks to a special ship with water attributes in the fleet, which can solidify the surrounding sea water, prevent these sea waters from turning around, and keep the fleet stable.
When the fleet was only five hundred yards from the shore, the commander ordered the water-based special ship to display a special ability to create a "wall of water" on the sea. This wall was unusually high, even higher than the mast, and protected all the ships of the fleet at the back. As for the defensive capability, there is nothing to say, the artillery fire on the opposite side hits it, ninety percent of it cannot penetrate, and only a small number of special attacks can work.
The wall of water continued to advance, and under the cover of the wall of water, the fleet rushed unharmed to the military fortress two hundred yards away, which was already quite close. The commander gave another order, and the wall of water collapsed with a bang, turning into a tsunami-like wave, rushing towards the military fortress opposite. What's even more amazing is that after the water wall spread, there were human-shaped waves one after another, as many as cow hairs, like an army made of water, rushing towards the military fortress.
This water-type attack caused heavy damage to the military fortress.
With even more fierce attacks to come, another ship full of cannons burst out, and the cannons that had already been angled fired one after another, firing one spherical cannonball after another, each with magical runes engraved on it. The interior is filled with materials more powerful than gunpowder
The shells drew a parabola, landed on the military fortress, and exploded after hitting the object. A circular black ball with a diameter of about ten yards is formed, and what is touched by the black ball instantly turns into flying ash, whether it is a person or an object! When this shell explodes, it does not make an explosion, but a muffled sound.
Under the attack of such special shells, the military fortress quickly collapsed. was smashed out of one big hole after another. Behind the broken wall, the figure of an officer of the White Bear Ancient Kingdom was revealed, judging by the dress. This must be a high-ranking officer.
An Rui's eyes were sharp, he noticed this person, pointed over and said, "Who can capture him alive?" ”
As soon as the words fell, an orc with five big and three thick voices answered: "I can!" ”
The orc strode out. He wears heavy armor. With a mace on his back, he looks like a warrior class. The officers he went out with the army were very strong, but his rank was not high, he was only a captain, and he was one level short of the school rank. The orcs are brave and good at fighting, and they value honor, when Anrui goes on the expedition. He was very enthusiastic about going with him and had a very positive attitude.
"Good. Just go, I'm here waiting for your good news. Anrui agreed.
The orc arched his body, and with a sudden force, he jumped high and plunged into the sea like a cannonball. He swam wildly under the shelling of the two armies, swam to the shore at an alarming speed, and rushed into the dilapidated military fortress with a roar.
An Rui immediately ordered to slow down the offensive so as not to injure his own people by mistake.
Moments later, the orc returned with a half-dead officer, dropped the officer on the deck, and returned to return to Anrui. He did his job brilliantly and won a great job.
"Good job, I will let people write down your merits, and reward them for their merits after winning the White Bear Ancient Kingdom." Anrui stood up, walked up to the orc, and patted the orc on the shoulder as a token of appreciation.
The orc was very happy and retreated.
As for the half-dead officer, he was taken down, treated briefly, and then handed over to Quasimodo, where he was placed in a space cell. This was the first enemy officer captured in this battle, and there are sure to be more in the future.
The war ended with the Nova Empire's victory, and the defeated officers and soldiers of the White Bear Ancient Kingdom were left with only remnants of the defeated generals, abandoning the dilapidated military fortress, and the wolf bèi withdrew. The captain of the Nova Empire drove straight in, broke into the mouth of the sea, and continued along the great river.
An Rui's order to the fleet was to only allow attacks on the military forces of the White Bear Ancient Kingdom, and it was strictly forbidden to kill civilians, and only when there was resistance along the way could they counterattack, and if they encountered ordinary towns that avoided fighting, they must ensure that Qiu did not commit any crimes and did not attack these towns. Officers and soldiers who violated these regulations were punished very severely, even more severely than the punishment that would result from losing a battle. Under his strenuous constraints, the fleet sailed uphill without harassing civilians and towns along the coast.
In the evening, the flotilla did not stop to rest, but continued to advance. On the way, the fleet encountered a sneak attack by an underwater force and triggered some mines, which were obviously ambushed by the White Bear Ancient Kingdom in advance.
The fleet brought by Anrui is not small, but there are talents in all aspects, taking into account both the sky and the bottom of the sea. He immediately sent his own underwater forces out to conduct an underwater battle with the enemy's underwater forces, again achieving victory, capturing two officers.
In this way, the flotilla stopped and stopped all the way, and when it encountered resistance, it struck out, and constantly captured new officers. So far, there has been no large-scale resistance, which makes An Rui a little disappointed, he really wants to fight a big battle, grab more senior officers, give the White Bear Ancient Kingdom a heavy blow, cut some flesh and blood, and it would be better if he could capture Croft himself.
It took several days for the fleet to sail inland to the ancient kingdom of the White Bear, which was already quite close to the economic center of the government. An Rui found a place to stop the ship and set up camp, let the large army stay here, and set off towards the imperial city on a flying ship with a boatload of elite soldiers. Just in case, he also had Quasimodo leave a portal here for the flying ship to quickly withdraw.
The flying ship flew in the air, about a thousand yards above the ground, enough to cross an ordinary hill. The huge propellers swirled above the flying ship, making a rumbling roar, but the sound was absorbed by a magical device, making the sound as small as a mosquito chirping and not affecting anyone on board.
The flying ships traveled all the way, picking places with military fortresses or large cities, and encountered some resistance one after another, but none of them were successful. Quasimodo's space cell is filled with more and more people, all of whom are high-ranking generals or high-ranking ruling officials.
In this way, the ship flew all the way to the vicinity of the imperial city of the White Bear Ancient Kingdom.
An Rui stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the imperial city in front of him, the scale of the city was quite large, exuding an ancient atmosphere, and it was a pity to let such an ancient city be ruined. It can be seen that the imperial city is fully prepared for battle, with more than 100,000 troops stationed, and the walls have been strengthened and many magical weapons have been added.
It seems that Croft is planning to gather his forces together and have a big battle with Anrui. A large-scale battle like this is exactly what Anrui wants.
There was only one ship on An Rui's side, but it forced the entire imperial city to wait, as if the end had come.
The Imperial City side did not send people over, so it can be seen that there is no intention of negotiating, and only An Rui is left with the option of fighting.
"Let's shoot. Get both warring sides moving. The main target is to focus on their enchantments and walls, and refrain from bombarding the city just yet. Anrui waved his hand and ordered.
The flying ship had already prepared several long-distance magic cannons, and aimed the muzzles of these cannons at the imperial city, launching a fierce bombardment. Beams of light spanned an astonishing distance of several kilometers and bombarded the walls of the Imperial City, immediately triggering resistance from several enchantments and shields, but there were also shells that directly shattered the walls.
The Imperial City was too big, and it was impossible for such a large barrier to cover the entire Imperial City, and even if it was forcibly created, it would not be possible to maintain it for too long. Enchantments can only be used to protect important facilities, as well as the outer walls.
The White Bear Ancient Kingdom quickly counterattacked and bombarded the flying ships, but all of them were blocked by the barrier and failed to hurt the flying ships in the slightest.
An Rui did not rush to carry out the next attack, but let this confrontation last for a while, forcing the officers and soldiers in the imperial city to move on a large scale. I saw that the imperial city was crowded with people, and it was black.
"It's almost time, the elite battalion disembarks and makes a feint attack on the main gate of the imperial city, attracting their forces. Quasimodo strikes solo, grabs more important captives, breaks their morale, and if possible, captures Croft. Capture all the important people in the White Bear Ancient Kingdom, and I don't believe they can continue to resist. Anrui ordered.
The so-called elite barracks are a small team composed of a group of strong people, with a total of 221 people, each of whom has a high rank, but they are not ordinary soldiers. This kind of small-scale team composed of strong people is more effective than a large army composed of ordinary people, and it is definitely a division of tigers and wolves on the battlefield. This kind of elite battalion is not the first of its kind in Anrui, but has existed for a long time, and major countries will organize similar teams.
The elite barracks slid down a rope to the ground and rushed towards the imperial city, the speed was amazing, and the whole team was uniform, maintaining an extremely tacit and uniform speed. It was the result of months of hard training in Tongguò.
Quasimodo also set off and didn't say much. He really deserves to be An Rui's right-hand man, helping An Rui do too many things, but never complaining about anything. Among the people under An Rui's command, the only one who can compare with him is probably Sam.
Anrui looked at Quasimodo's departing back, and his heart was full of gratitude. In fact, a person like Quasimodo, no matter how fame and fortune are at his fingertips, he has nothing to reward Quasimodo at all. It was his luck to have such a subordinate.
"Huh!"
Quasimodo teleported to appear on the streets of the Imperial City, steadied himself, and looked around. The place where he was a street, and the houses on both sides were all closed doors and windows, and the people must have all hid in their homes and shivered. The roar of war resounded in the air, and the ground trembled from time to time. The whole city was trembling because of their arrival. (To be continued......)
