Itajima Castle is located on the northern coastline of Kopo Province, is an important coastal fortress in the north, as the front line of the royal army to defend against strong enemies in the north, more than 10,000 royal troops have been gathered here, and nearly 20,000 naval soldiers of Kopo Province, of course, the vast majority of the soldiers here are mortal soldiers, and there are only more than 1,000 real monk soldiers.

In the fortress harbor, the northern fleet of the country of Kopo did not go out to sea to cruise, but cowered in the harbor, leaving only a few sailors on the ship, and most of the officers and men usually hid in the fortress pillbox, not daring to go to sea a step.

The reason why the Kopo army was so timid was the huge fleet that cruised more than ten miles off the coast of Itashima Castle. There were ten warships in this fleet with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and all the guns were aimed at the fortresses. The huge barrel of the cannon seems to pierce the sky, ready to rain the fire of heaven on the earth at any time. This army is the combined fleet of the Blue New Republican Army.

Compared to the defeat of the Kopo Navy three years ago, the Republican Navy has risen to a new level. The continuous industrial revolution in the country has made continuous progress in the country's industrial production capacity and made more and more powerful warships.

The Navy fleet dispatched this time had two newest warships, which the Republican Army named the "Storm Sun" class. If the "Rising Sun" class is only a light cruiser in terms of tonnage, then this new warship is a veritable heavy cruiser, and at the same time, it is also the crystallization of the earth's traditional industrial products and cultivation technology. With a displacement of 25,000 tons, the ship's main guns were three 4-pack 12 300-mm guns with a rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute and a range of more than 20 km. The secondary guns were 16 100 mm high-level dual-purpose guns, and 36 20 mm rapid-fire guns, and the firepower of the entire battleship was equivalent to a thousand-man assault regiment.

In addition to the terrifying attack power, the ship's power and lightning system have also been innovated. It adopts a new underwater booster formation, and the maximum speed at sea can reach 45 knots. The fire control system, which combines the Psionic Aiming Formation and the Electronic Radar, can accurately hit any target within the maximum range of the gun. In addition, several attack and protection formations were also set up on the battleship, in addition to artillery attacks and steel defenses, there were also protective spirit shields and long-range attack arrays to assist, these are all new types of weapons secretly developed by the Blue Star Clan.

On one of the "Storm Sun" class warships, the commander of the Republic Navy is using a periscope to observe the fortress in the distance, which is blessed with a long-range magic spell, and can clearly see the scene dozens of kilometers away.

Modern saw that the army of Kopu in the fortress was completely gone, and he didn't know where to hide. He felt a little smug in his heart, because Kopu was completely scared by him in the previous battle.

Ten days ago, the Blue Star Kingdom suddenly launched a full-scale attack on the Kopu Kingdom, and the Republic Navy, which had been preparing for a long time, went all the way south and intercepted the Northern Fleet of the Kopu Country Navy in the waters northeast of Ranjiao Island. Immediately a battle broke out between the two sides, but it was not a fierce battle, but an almost one-sided slaughter.

The navy of the Republic of China, which has a new type of warship, has an absolute advantage in dealing with the fleet of the Kopu Kingdom, which still uses spell sails as the power, relies on the spiritual sense and vision of the monks for early warning and reconnaissance, and still uses traditional weapons such as heavy long-range spells and harpoons as the main attack method.

The warships of the Republic were much stronger than their opponents in terms of speed, firepower, and reconnaissance and early warning capabilities, and they were the first to discover the fleet of the country of Kopu when they were more than 100 miles away. Modern led the fleet to quickly approach the target and immediately attacked. The first salvo of the Blue Star Fleet accurately hit one-third of the battleships of the Kapu Kingdom, and after more than a dozen salvos, in less than five minutes, the fleet of more than 30 warships was almost completely annihilated. All the ships were destroyed!

The panicked officers and men of the country fled to the surface from the wreckage of the warship, which had not yet burned out. The mortal sailors on the ship did not know how to float and could only struggle to float on the surface of the sea with sawdust, and the monk soldiers who could manipulate the magic plate or use the levitation technique did not care about them at all, and only tried to escape.

However, the Kopu Navy was a sophisticated army after all, and the commander of Kopu Province, who was unwilling to be defeated, hurriedly commanded the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers to assemble on the sea and launched an attack on the Republic fleet in the distance.

It turned out to be a stupid act of suicide. Modern deliberately brought the Kopu Regiments close to a distance of five or six kilometers from the fleet, allowing them to enter the attack range of its secondary artillery and other auxiliary formations. Then, hundreds of auxiliary guns of various types of the fleet fired a salvo, and in less than a few minutes, the corps of more than 1,000 people was blown up, and only a dozen territorial officers were able to escape.

After this battle, the elite forces of the Kapu Navy were almost wiped out, and the top brass completely lost confidence in confronting the Blue Star Navy at sea, so they had to withdraw all the warships and officers and men to the fortress of Itashima Castle and hang up the battle exemption card.

"Herald, has the army of Kopu responded to our request?" asked his subordinates after checking the situation on the shore for a while.

"Report to the commander! There has been no reply from the Kopu country!"

A day ago, Modern led a large army to blockade the Bancheng Fortress from the sea, and asked the Kopu Army in the city to announce unconditional surrender within one day, otherwise the entire fortress would be destroyed.

"Order the fleet to attack, knock out the fortress for me!"

With the issuance of the modern order, the naval fleet of the Republic fired a hundred guns in unison, firing hundreds of large-caliber guns per minute, and fiercely bombarded the fortress more than ten miles away.

As the first fortress in the north, the protection of Itashima Castle is certainly not weak. As soon as the first salvo of the Republican artillery shells landed over the fortress, its protective array was immediately activated. I saw a burst of blue light flash, and a huge arc-shaped protective shield formed in the air, enveloping all the fortress buildings within a radius of more than ten miles. Large-caliber shells exploded outside the protective shield one after another, and although the flames were full of sky, they could not shake the large array in the slightest.

"Keep firing, give me a fight until this big array collapses!" Captain Modern was not at all surprised to see this moment in the telescope. Before attacking this city, he had thought about dealing with the city's super array, and almost every city or fortress where the cultivators' armies gathered would have a city defense array. The most direct way to break through this large array is to attack violently until the defensive energy of the large array is exhausted.

In addition to the combat ships, there are also three supply ships with a displacement of 10,000 tons, which can provide sufficient ammunition support for the warships at any time.

Under the command of Modern, more than a dozen warships continued to dump shells onto the fortress. Thanks to the guidance of new radar and far-sight spells, as well as the keen senses and maneuvering abilities of the Republican Monks, every shell fired by the ship's guns accurately hit the fortress, and not a single shot landed in the narrated Itashima Castle. This large array of the Kopo army only protects the fortified area, and does not take into account the surrounding urban areas at all, but if it is an ordinary mortal to operate an artillery attack, its accuracy and accuracy will definitely be greatly reduced, causing huge casualties in the city. The ability to operate modern weapons with the ability of a monk, to be extremely accurate, fast and powerful, is the strength of the Republican Army!

After nearly half an hour of bombardment, the protective array of Bandao Fortress finally revealed its unbearable momentum, and its color turned out to be darker and darker. In fact, both defense and offense are fighting energy with energy, no matter how strong the defending side is, as long as the energy of the attack reaches a certain level, or the energy damage of the attack accumulates to a certain extent, the defending side will inevitably lose.

Now, Itashima Fortress is at such a critical moment. After half an hour of artillery attack, more than a dozen warships dumped most of the shells on the ship, and a total of thousands of tons of shells exploded over the fortress, and its explosive yield was almost equivalent to the power of a small nuclear bomb. Under such a terrifying attack, the protective array of Itashima Fortress finally collapsed!

"Boom!"

Having lost the protection of the protective array, the shells fired by the Republican Army finally landed inside the fortress. The first 300-mm shell hit a watchtower inside the fortress, piercing the earthen wall nearly a meter behind, making a large hole several meters in the tower wall. Then, more shells flew in, and the fortress burst into flames, and debris flew into a sea of hellfire.

After more than 20 minutes of bombardment, until almost all the shells of the battleship were exhausted, Modern gave the order to stop the attack, and he issued a new offensive order: "The landing force is attacking, and I will knock down the fortress." ”

A dozen landing ships of various types, which had already driven close to the coastline, quickly approached the land, and before they could dock, figures flew out of the ships, and the monks and soldiers of the Republican Marine Corps, who were in charge of the attack, attacked first.

As soon as they broke out of the landing ship, they either formed groups or scattered, and rushed towards the fortress, which was almost in ruins. In fact, the actions of these soldiers were completely superfluous, and when they reached the fortress, they found that the army of the Kopo Kingdom had almost been completely destroyed, and the fortress was full of broken walls and broken walls, and the corpses of the soldiers of the Kopo Kingdom were only about 300 surviving, and all of them were seriously injured. Among them, only a hundred monks and soldiers in the country of Kopu escaped the shelling of the republican army. Under the command of the only Peak Cultivator of the Realm, they assembled in Itashima Castle in an attempt to launch a counterattack against the Republican Army.

It turned out to be an even more stupid act of suicide. More than 1,000 Republican Army Marines who had been panicking for a long time encountered this group of remnants of the country of Jiapu and killed them like hungry tigers. After a fierce battle, this weak corps was soon wiped out, and Bandao Castle, an important town in the north of Kopo Country, fell into the hands of the Blue Star Country, and the Blue Star Army finally set foot on the land of the Kopu Country.
