"It's also in Gondorshire, and it's a very good port. The port of Levin was once an alternative port for the Royal Navy, but it was removed from the military directory because of the fiefdoms of the local nobility and the king, and the current port of Seist was later chosen. ”

Speaking of this, Baron Hutson paused, he looked a little hesitant, and said uncertainly: "I don't know if Your Majesty you have an alternative view of naval construction, if there is a strong fleet that attacks from the eastern seas, then ......"

Yuan Kai stuffed a piece of cheese barbecue into his mouth, he didn't have a very good impression of these white loyalists, and he spoke unceremoniously: "Do you think we don't have a navy?" ”

Hutson was so squeezed by him that he didn't know what to say for a while.

Tianhao glared at Yuan Kai with a reproachful gaze, then turned to Baron Hutson and smiled: "He is like this, in fact, he has no malicious intent, as long as he has more contact and is familiar with it." ”

The baron quickly recovered his mood, he squeezed out a smile, and asked in an uncertain tone: "My question may be a little rude, please forgive your majesty." But I really want to know, your fleet ...... What scale can it achieve? ”

Tianhao looked down at Hutson, who was much shorter than himself, and said with a smile: "There is really no corresponding standard in this regard. However, I am well aware of the composition of the fleet of the Saxon Navy, as well as the ratio of various types of warships. Let's put it this way, if it's one-on-one, any kind of warship of ours can win in any environment. ”

Baron Hutson was stunned again. An extremely incredible sensation quickly spread through his body.

How powerful are the northern giants already here?

Was it the Giant King lying, or was my knowledge of them too superficial?

If the military power of the giants is so strong, then why have they been stationed in the north of Suolong Pass for a long time in the past, and never went south?

Is there some kind of secret in this?

……

Outside the port of Le Vine, the sea to the east.

With Tianhao leading three legions into Morent County, the Zhengjiang fleet no longer has to hide its tracks as before. According to the plan, he led the main force of the First Fleet to the south, and the first target was the port of Leybun.

The Saxon Navy was stationed here with a detachment of a detachment, eleven combat ships, and another twenty-two transport and supply ships of different types.

The main force of the First Fleet brought by Zhengjiang this time was as many as 62 warships, of which 15 were first-class battleships with strong firepower. The alien flag at sea level quickly attracted the attention of the Saxon naval patrol ships, who quickly turned around and withdrew to the port of Le Bon, giving an early warning signal, and all the battleships left the harbor and ran headlong into the giant fleet that was coming down the river from the north.

In front of the "Fierce Wolf" class warships with a displacement of more than 1,500 tons and more than 200 guns, the royal navy, which had few small guns, had no power to fight back, and the battle turned into a one-sided slaughter from the beginning.

"Advance in battle formation, with the second queue spreading out along the combat area? All the battleships carry out the first plan and kill all these damn white people? Give the sharks in the sea a good meal. ”

Masae roars on the bridge of the flagship? The signal soldiers waved the signal flag at the top of the tower, and the capital ships pressed towards the harbor in a standard linear array, spraying a dense barrage of bullets.

The kingdom's fleet, which had only eleven ships, could not withstand this level of crushing.

The "Newton Earl" was hit by a shot twenty seconds after the start of the battle? A broken keel in the tail of a battleship? This in turn affects the cabin structure. The interior of this poor battleship was full of "creaking" planks breaking? The officers and sailors were horrified by this, and they were well aware that this meant irreparable catastrophic damage to the hull in wartime, and because of the interaction between the sea water and the internal ballast, the entire ship would be completely disconnected from the bullet site in a short time...... People fled to the deck, desperate to jump into the water? Still have some unlucky guys who can't make it to the trip? They watched as the warship shuddered violently and broke in two with loud noises? The heavy tail sinks first? Drag the front of the hull that has not yet been completely disconnected and raise high, forming a huge vortex around the sinking point? It quickly disappeared from people's sight.

The bow of the "Royal Carriage" was shot, causing the jib lanyard to break? It quickly deviated from the normal course? Although the sailors re-tied the sail ropes in less than five minutes, they could not change the desperate situation of the battleship being besieged by three "Fierce Wolves" class due to accidents———— in just two minutes, the "Royal Carriage" was hit by more than 20 shells, the external armor was shattered, and a third of the right side of the ship completely disappeared.

The "Sea Rover" is the most firepower warship in the entire fleet, and because of its huge size, it has become the focus of attention of all "fierce wolves" since the beginning of the war. It was enveloped in dense fire, and the shell coverage reached an alarming level. Even the hardest marine oak could not resist it, and when the smoke cleared, the entire middle and upper part of the hull was completely shattered. It spun around on the surface of the sea, sinking to the bottom of the sea in a whirlpool, accompanied by the cries of countless souls and struggling survivors.

Rear Admiral Pinault, the commander of this detachment, chose the "Bulldog" as the flagship, apparently for security reasons. The ship's firepower, although not the strongest, has a thick double protective deck. However, the Saxon general was not lucky, the entire fleet lost fifty percent of its combat power within five minutes of the start of the battle, and the bridge of the "Bulldog" was also hit by multiple high-explosive warheads in the subsequent battle, and the rear admiral himself was pierced through the body by fragments of a broken mast. According to the surviving sailors on the flagship, there were dozens of wooden thorns on Rear Admiral Pino's body at that time, the largest of which nailed him firmly to the command seat and sank to the bottom of the sea with the size of the broken ship.

In this way, Zhengjiang gained control of the port of Le Bun.

Later, Tyrant Fang led his legions to land here, and as many as 100 transport ships poured into the port, unloading all kinds of war materials, helping the Marine Corps to establish a bridgehead in a short period of time, and then occupy the entire city.

It was a port-based city with a total population of more than 800,000 and was the most important commercial port in the Saxon Kingdom.

The battle came suddenly, because from the very beginning no one thought that the warships of the Northern Giants would appear on the sea outside the harbor. Habitual thinking is really terrible, and white people have long thought that giants are rude and barbaric, that they are incompatible with civilized society, and that they drink blood. It must be admitted that they are physically strong and run like flying in the mountains and forests, but when it comes to technology, culture, art, etc., the northern giants cannot talk about admission qualifications, let alone "shipbuilding", a concentrated behavior that requires a complex complex of sophisticated mathematical calculations, balance, buoyancy, etc.

It turns out that the giants of the north not only know how to build ships, but also their scientific and technological prowess has long been too far ahead of the white southerners. The giant battleships that towered like mountains are proof of this. When the battle broke out, as many as thousands of curious whites gathered on the embankment of the harbor coast to watch the battle, and they clearly saw the sassy Saxon fleet in ashes, like a weak girl helpless in front of a burly and strong man, completely suppressed from the beginning, without even a chance to escape.

"Holy Lord, what kind of warship is that? It's horrible...... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this was the ship of the northern giants. ”

"Their artillery is too fierce. If you look at the gun windows on the side of the ships, one square represents a cannon, three decks, and the largest ships have at least two hundred guns. You are looking at ours, the "Sea Rover" has only fifty-two guns, how can this battle be fought? ”

"Why doesn't the giant's warship catch fire? They don't seem to be afraid of our shells at all? Hey, look, what's that? The side of their battleship seems to be metal, is it a steel plate, not wood? ”

There were all kinds of speculation, but the white audience gathered at the pier soon discovered that this was not a drama to talk about, but a living reality———— as the naval battle ended, the mighty Titan approached the harbor, and the guns lined up on the side began to adjust their elevation angles and aim at the city shelling farther away.

The naval battle ended, and the landing battle began.

The human survival instinct is brought into full play at such times. The stunned audience suddenly realized that they were so close to death. They turned around and ran away like scattered ducks, no longer with the previous high-mindedness, nor with calm and grace, countless pairs of eyes saw the giant transport ship with the same size and tonnage as the heavy warship of the Kingdom Navy rushing into the harbor, lowering the landing deck, and rushing out of the cabin one by one like wolves and tigers, fully armed, fierce to the extreme.

The port of Levine is a largely undefended port city. On the one hand, because of the existence of the kingdom's naval detachment, and on the other hand, because of the misunderstanding of the war itself. Whether it is Shenwei Fortress or Suolong Pass, it is far from here. Even if the heralds sent messages from the north to the south overnight, regardless of their horsepower, there were still three counties between the occupied city of Morente and Le Bun.

The Marquis of Brackban was a diligent man who struggled to scrape together his forces for the kingdom's shattered military status. He knew very well that the northern giants must not be allowed to cross the border, and that they must send heavy troops in those dangerous passes, only in this way can they stop their troops.

Once the northern giants capture a certain pass and rush into the hinterland of the kingdom, it will fundamentally destroy the production base of the kingdom, especially the branches of the large military industry in the north.

Levine was not in the "defensive" range of consideration of the Marquis of Brack Barn from the start. The Marquis's idea was simple: if he couldn't even defend the perimeter, he couldn't talk about the so-called "internal defense". Just as the human body resists germs, if the top layer of skin is lost, the fresh skin exposed to the air will quickly fester, which in turn will lead to the death of the subject.

Baron Hartson was indeed very strategic, but he did not know that this was actually part of Tianhao's plan———— to secure sea supremacy with a strong navy, and then control the port and ensure the landing of large armies. As long as Levan is firmly controlled, he will continue to send additional troops from here to attack the hinterland of the Saxon kingdom, and then cut off the kingdom's army, so that it cannot take care of each other.

Levon had only three thousand local garrisons. Their combat effectiveness is not even as good as that of the second-line troops, and they are only used by the police to maintain local law and order, and they are not as good as professional soldiers in terms of equipment and fighting will.

The battle seemed boring to Tyrant, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, the harbor garrison casually fired a few shots and turned to flee, only to be overtaken by the faster Imperial landing force, and it immediately turned into a one-sided massacre.

Stormtooth's admiration for Tianhao reached its climax with the battle———— the whites who were sent from the Rock City "zoo" to act with the Marine Corps played an important role. Armed with tin microphones, they ran back and forth in the city of Levanne, shouting and shouting.

"Lay down your arms, surrender and don't kill."

"His Majesty the Great Emperor orders you to surrender, and all those who do not comply with the resistance will be shot on the spot, and they will be killed!"

"Don't resist uselessly, just stay at home and be fine."

Two hours later, Tyrant led the 1st Division of the Marine Corps to capture the entire city of Levine.

Although the port is a mix of military and civilian use, it is still largely a commercial port. For all these reasons, the king did not appoint a lord here, but set up a governor's position, which meant the concentration of power and rule over the surrounding area.

Tyrague ordered the governor's family to be pierced through the body with spears and erected in conspicuous positions in the city. According to the soldiers below, the governor was a brave man. Despite the fact that the battle was one-sided and his side had no chance of victory, the governor gathered an escort of about three hundred men and charged in the direction of the port.

He was hit by a bullet in the left leg and blown up on the spot, as he was unable to escape and was captured alive by the dragon soldiers. The governor kept shouting and refused to surrender.

He was a true hero, fearless.

"What Lao Tzu hates most is this kind of so-called hero." Stormtooth doesn't hide his thoughts. In his opinion, the enemy who resists to the end is the most hateful, and the word "warrior" should be reserved for his own people, not for the damned white man.

A lesson must be taught to all those who resist!

About five thousand people, including the Governor, were executed on the spot. After the landed dragon soldiers occupied the city, they began to search from house to house, mainly for gold and silver products, as well as for the inventory and concentration of resources in the city. Inevitably, there were various acts of rebellion in the process, and these people were all caught and executed in public places in the city. Their corpses were strung like sausages on the tips of spears, densely forming a forest of corpses.

With the exception of the Governor's family, the families of all the other rebels were imprisoned as "criminals". At the first time, the Tyrant issued a "Notice to All Citizens of Port Le Bun". According to the relevant regulations, those who show loyalty to the Dragon Empire can receive various rewards.
