Heart-pounding gunfire rang out from the opposite side.

The cavalry that fell in the front of the front formed an obstacle to those who came after them, and the cavalrymen who fell one after another, with their men and horses, soon built a thick "wall" there. There was no better target for shooting, and the white musketeers did not have to aim at all, and simply pulled the trigger in that direction to reap the lives and cause death.

"Stand back! Hurry back! ”

Tiger Gang was covered in blood, and with one hand he held the horse lying on the ground and kept kicking his legs, staggering to his feet, and roared hoarsely at the cavalry who were still rushing behind him. His left hand was trampled off by a warhorse that had no momentum to contain the momentum, but he understood his duty. Even if it is a death, it must be worth dying.

Through the binoculars, Vlamar saw Tiger Gang, who looked like a bloody man. He raised his hand and pointed there, nodded casually, and instructed the lieutenant standing beside him, "That giant is interesting." Looking at the clothes on his body, it is estimated that his status is not low, maybe he is still a nobleman among giants. ”

The adjutant understood, "What do you mean, my lord...... Capture him alive? ”

Flamar smiled and nodded: "Raising a pet also requires bloodline. Purebred hounds are worth a lot more than mongrels. Hehe, it's always been this way. ”

The "pet" of the northern giants, who did not even have the status of nobility of the king and the pope, felt that Flamal should be able to return with great wealth and glory this time.

The special northern giants have a seal on their left arm. Because of the language barrier between them, white Southerners have never understood the meaning of the coats of arms of these different patterns. They came to this conclusion by examining the corpses of the Death Giants in the previous battles of Suolong Pass. There aren't many giants with branding on their left arms, and even fewer giants with multiple branding.

"Catch him!" Flamar's demands were very strong.

After the close shelling, the musketeers began to fire en masse. As many as tens of thousands of muskets were fired at the same time, and the thick smoke of gunpowder suddenly spread over the positions of the Viking Kingdom. White smoke shrouded the battlefield, slowly moving westward under the impetus of the wind, blocking the view of the Tiger cavalry who had fallen into confusion.

There were more and more corpses in front of the position, blocking the shooting boundary.

The halberders began to move forward, and they used their halberds to pick apart the heavy dead through the pre-erected deer bars. The white musketeers who followed closely behind had no difficulty seeing their targets in the smoke, but they had the advantage of the terrain and did not need to aim, just aimed at the front of the array and pulled the trigger again and again.

"Retreat!"

"Withdraw!"

Tiger Gang was shot in the face, and the round buckshot hit a nearby corpse, bouncing off the surface of the armor, slicing diagonally through his side skull, dragging eyeballs and tissues and organs out of the eye sockets. At this moment, he did not care about the pain, tried to open his other remaining eye, and with a knife in one hand, he jumped from the ground with a frenzied cry and pounced on the hordes of white halberders behind the deer.

He knew he had lost the battle.

Death is death, but before dying, you must correct your mistakes, buy time for the living, and give them a chance to escape.

Although the white halberders do not have an advantage in height, they are superior in numbers. They saw Hu Gang's hideous face and his determination not to be afraid of death. It was impossible for such a fierce enemy to fight alone, and dozens of halberds immediately gathered from different directions, aiming the sharp tips of their spears at Hu Gang, who was about to fall from the sky.

Looking at the cold and glittering forest of swords and guns below, Hu Gang let out a hearty laugh.

The feeling of the halberd piercing into his body was no longer important to him, and the numbness before death slowed the nerve response. He was picked up on the tip of the gun by more than a dozen halberd hands, Hu Gang's mouth and body were full of blood, the muscles on his face were twisted, and he pressed down on the body worn on the tip of the gun with his last breath, and the long knife was held upside down in his hand, and he stabbed it fiercely at the nearest white man.

Even if it's death, take the damn white man on the road!

……

Eastern part of the continent, coastal area.

A large fleet is approaching from the north.

The "Fierce Wolf" class warships with a displacement of more than 1,500 tons form the core, and although there are only fifteen of them, the huge hull of the mountain gives the viewer a psychological shock from any direction. This first-class battleship has extremely powerful firepower, especially a salvo of large-caliber main guns, and the overwhelming artillery fire can destroy a near-shore city.

Thirty battleships of the second rank "Black Wolf" followed.

Sixty "Hero" class frigates formed the perimeter of the fleet. In this special era when there were no submarines and no mines were developed, the number of artillery pieces determined the specific strength of a fleet.

In the rear of the fleet, there are up to three hundred transport ships of different classes.

Masae stood on the bridge of the flagship, looking through the telescope at the dinghy rowing towards the shore in the distance.

The surrounding sea was quiet, and the winter haze blocked out the sun. Even though it was daytime, the water in the distance looked black, and there was no pleasant deep blue, and the white foam was tumbling up and down with the waves, and there were no seabirds, no fish, and a monotonous "whooshing" sound echoed in my ears.

Zhengjiang's expression was extremely serious. From time to time, he turned his direction and cast his gaze at the "Green Wolf" class that was patrolling the sea due south.

This sea area has crossed the Suolong Pass and is located south of the Kamui Fortress.

When Tianhao first trained Elizabeth as a spore transplant, he had a huge landing operation plan in mind. He obtained a rough topographical map of the southern coast from Bonnard, which he verified from the "old mama". Elizabeth traveled to the Saxon kingdom on a number of missions, one of which was to gather information on the topography of the southern countries, including the length and course of the coastline, and where suitable as temporary deep-water ports.

The overall plan is only a strategic direction of attack and will be revised according to the actual situation. Tianhao's plan includes two types: "Locking Dragon Pass Lost" and "Falling". He has been working hard to speed up the process of unifying the north of the continent, but he did not expect that the Holy See would develop the "No. 6", a biological weapon that was "picked up" from the era of civilization, and completely changed the stalemate between the two sides.

The rowing boat approached the shore, and the people on board jumped onto the shore. Looking at the signal soldier standing on the shore with a red flag in his hand and shaking constantly, Zhengjiang's tense face eased slightly———— this scene was familiar to him, and the previous landing operation against the Eagle Clan was actually a copy of this plan. The difference is that the scale of the last battle was smaller, and this time, the dragon army sent by ship from Rock City alone has as many as two legions, a full 100,000 people (non-enlarged number).

The work of the landers is also the same as last time, and it is a temporary survey of this section of the coast. Although Stewart and Elizabeth had been in close contact with pirates from the South for the past few years and had received detailed hydrological information about the area, Masae was not reassured and insisted on sending people into the water to understand the situation near the shore with the most basic visual visits.

In the evening, with the efforts of several groups of landing personnel, the simple wharf has begun to take shape.

Personnel, food, weapons and ammunition, various spare materials...... The tense and orderly unloading lasted three days.

Two hundred transports were undoubtedly too few, and they returned north empty-ton as soon as they finished unloading. The first batch of dragon warriors to log in was only 20,000. They will hold on to temporary positions here and wait for reinforcements and follow-up supplies to arrive.

The reason why Tianhao firmly held on the south of Roaring City was to attract and eliminate the terrible "Six", and on the other hand, to make the illusion that the northern barbarians were unable to counterattack after losing the Lock Dragon Pass, luring the Kingdom Alliance to leave their logistics base and continue to attack north.

The key to the victory or defeat of this battle lies in the control of the fortress of Kamui.

With two standard legions, 100,000 people, and a powerful artillery unit, Tianhao was sure to capture this fortress in a short period of time and completely cut off the retreat of the kingdom's coalition forces.

By that time, the coalition forces of up to millions of troops would have been completely deprived of logistical supplies and would become a lone army surrounded by them.

The Five Kingdoms will not sit idly by and ignore this situation. Including the Holy See, they will send more troops to desperately reinforce and storm the fortress.

Therefore, the landing operation is divided into two stages: the front and the back. The first stage is to attack, and the second stage is to hold. The dragon fleet became a crucial part of the entire campaign. The sea war must be won, and the sea supremacy must be used to control the replenishment of materials and personnel to the Shenwei Fortress from the sea, especially weapons and ammunition.

This sea area is strange to white people. Speaking of which, it was also because of the mutual distrust between the Five Kingdoms and the Holy See that Tianhao had a chance. According to the agreement between the kingdoms hundreds of years ago, each country has its own sea area. As for the section of the Shenwei Fortress that locks the dragon pass, it belongs to the Saxon kingdom. Out of fear of the northern giants, and as far as possible to minimize contact and avoid "the evolution of the northern giants as a result of our advanced technology and civilization", the actual patrol line of the Saxon navy has always been biased towards the south.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, the main force of the Saxon navy is concentrated in the southern ports of the continent in order to be vigilant against attacks from other kingdoms.

A friend in front of him, an enemy when he turns around. Such stories are not uncommon in history.

On the sea, the huge fleet has always remained in a state of readiness.

There will be more to come.

Early in the morning, Masae got up early, faced the rising sun on the horizon, and knelt down reverently.

"May the gods bless my king, and this battle will be won!"

……

On the same morning, south of Roaring City, the dragon army was temporarily encamped.

Tianhao took several important ministers and guards around him, put on his own armor, walked out of the north gate of the temporary camp, and saw a team of people coming from the end of the road from a distance.

The Leo Messenger sent a message yesterday at noon———— The great Lion King personally led the second batch of reinforcements from Roaring City to fight side by side with the respected Dragon Lord Regent against foreign enemies.

The Ministry of Intelligence's Bald Eagle secret document came earlier than this official report———— and the secret document detailed the number of Lion reinforcements, materials, personnel, and the composition of the troops, including the attitude of the Lion King and senior members of the royal family towards the war itself.

Overall, the Lion King did show enough sincerity.

Huge armies came from the north.

The largest number was light infantry. They are equipped with spears that have been proven in countless wars in the past, regardless of efficiency, manufacturing costs, soldier handling, and use. The weapons of these soldiers also included long-handled knives and battle axes, but the body cover rate of the armor was not as high as expected, about 60 percent. Except for the chest, abdomen, shoulders and other vital parts of the armor is made of steel, the rest are leather.

The spear was not a weapon reserved for heavy infantry, and some of them carried heavily reinforced sabers, which were about one-third of the total number of battle axes. The all-metal armor sufficient to protect the whole body indicates the origin of the word "heavy infantry". Of course, there is no need to dress neatly when marching normally, and the reason why they appeared in front of Tianhao in a state of imminent battle was obviously due to the instructions of the Lion King.

Momentum, status, dignity. It's something that all kings are trying to pursue.

The criteria for selecting heavy shieldmen are extremely high, in addition to being physically burly and strong, more importantly, they must have courage and perseverance, and become a barrier for the whole army at a critical time. Aside from a short knife, their only equipment is a heavy tower shield. When these warriors, armed with shields, erected steel walls at the front of the position, the muskets of the white southerners became scrap metal, which only artillery could shake.

The Leo Archers are very different from the Eagle Clan, mainly in terms of carrying weapons and required items. They were armed with powerful longbows, three wide-mouthed quivers on their backs, and a base of one hundred and twenty arrows per soldier. In comparison, the Eagle Clan archers carried less than half as many arrows as they did with fifty arrows.

But no one can deny that the Hawk people are the best archers in the world.

The cavalry deliberately suppressed the speed, and did not appear until the front few multi-class teams walked in front of Tianhao, with a total number of about 30,000. Their protective armor was the same as that of the light infantry, and was covered with a thick layer of steel cuirass. Riding spears, sabers, small crossbows...... The sophisticated equipment made this cavalry look more elite, but unfortunately the number was too small, and it was thought that the lion king used it as a forbidden army to support the scene.

Shi Rui dismounted more than ten meters away from Tianhao, accompanied by the national teacher Wu and dozens of civil and military ministers.

The Lion King is indeed very old. Wrinkled skin, gray hair, cloudy eyes...... When he got closer, Tianhao, who had a keen sense of smell, smelled a breath unique to an old man from the other party.

Shi Rui strode over, very fast, as powerful as a young man. However, Tianhao still saw that the lion king was pretending to be ———— his steps were vain, and his steps were not as steady as he imagined. Everything was done so deliberately, he just wanted to show himself as an outsider to be healthy and strong, not to be seen as a weak patient.

This is a common problem of all kings!

Tianhao let out a silent sigh in his heart, smiled with the indispensable ceremony, and stepped forward to meet him.

"It is my honor that His Majesty the Lion King is here."
