Chapter 536: Kiel Fito's counterattack
Ares looked at Qin Chuan, his face was cloudy.
Qin Chuan's existence made him can't help but think of the terrifying strategic attack on the battlefield on the southern border before.
The human in front of him can't do such a show, right?
Thinking of this, Ares's heart actually became a little uneasy.
Then, before he could think about it, a sharp sound of breaking the air pulled him back to reality.
Taking advantage of the vacancy just now, the Swift Eagle Rider and the Giant Eagle Knight, who were full of enhanced buffs, took advantage of the fact that they had already killed again, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army had been significantly improved at this moment.
In an instant, the air forces of both sides were once again in a battle.
At the same time, on the land battlefield, in order to avoid accidentally injuring his own people by artillery bombardment, Jin Ming, who took over the command of the artillery unit, also directly took the artillery unit of the southern border army and transferred it to an excellent output point.
The change in attack angle and position allowed them to successfully avoid friendly forces and directly target the enemy's rear troops.
Now, the dwarven artillerymen can fire with impunity.
Quickly loaded with high-explosive shells, the ferocious artillery fire swept past wave after wave, and the flying shrapnel continued to cause pieces of damage, forming a range of blows to the strength of the Nordic army!
Coupled with the powerful bombardment of naval artillery and elven archers, a full triple firepower strike, the army on the Nordic side was directly blown up and could not raise its head.
In the face of this series of indiscriminate bombardment, after gritting their teeth and holding on to several rounds of offensives, the Nordic army, which could no longer resist hard, was routed on the spot.
Faced with this situation, the Great Xia side had no way to expand the results of the battle at all.
The Dwarven artillery and elven archers were still deployed in the lower city, and the warships were not able to go ashore.
The firepower output units are all stuck in the lower city and the artificial river, and just letting a group of successfully landed marines and a group of infantry chase them up, without the triple fire support behind them, is completely looking for death.
If people want to escape, they really can't stop it.
In this regard, Wang Meng has long known it.
Therefore, his purpose from the beginning was to take Roland City, as for the extermination of the enemy army or something, we will talk about it later.
Having lost the defense line of the artificial river, Byron Weir, who knew that he could no longer hold it, withdrew directly with his troops and chose to retreat.
The support of the Xia Hai fleet made the stalemate to the current southern border war situation, and finally there was a new change, and the expeditionary southern border army successfully captured Roland City.
After the battle, the air troops slowly landed, looking at Adolf covered in blood, Wang Meng was shocked, and hurriedly called the elven priest to perform healing spells for Adolf.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Adolf on his own initiative.
"Don't worry, these are all flesh wounds, don't let the elven priests waste mana, apply some wounds and heal quickly."
Hearing this, Wang Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered someone to call a military doctor to come over and treat Adolf's wounds.
It is said to be a flesh wound, but it is actually much more serious than it is said.
There are a large number of wounds that need to be stitched up, and it is not at all like Adolf said, just apply some wound medicine to get better.
"Is that six-winged Holy Wing Species on the other side really that strong? Without the support of the prayer person, you can still be injured like this. Wang Meng said with a solemn face.
Adolf had a bitter smile on his face at this question.
"I don't want to admit it, but that guy is really strong. However, after the loss of the Prator, the number of times the opponent casts the magic has decreased significantly, and at the same time, he has not used the stronger state before, which makes the battle a lot easier. β
After listening carefully to Adolf's words, Wang Meng was thoughtful. "According to the information obtained before, the recovery rate of this faith power is very slow, and it is not like our mage troops in Great Xia, which can speed up the recovery speed through magic crystals, and it seems that they can only slowly accumulate through 'prayer'. According to the current situation, I am afraid that we can only take the means of consumption against that Holy Wing Species. β
After the two exchanged ideas, Wang Meng motioned to Adolf to have a good rest, and himself, as the supreme commander of this legion, had just captured Roland City, and obviously there were still a lot of things to arrange.
After the battle, the fleet under the command of LΓΌ Meng rested in Roland City for three days, and then soon set off again to prepare to return to the battlefield in the southeast sea.
After all, it is impossible for their Xia Hai fleet to advance with the southern border army.
During this period, the enemy was also constantly building warships, developing naval combat power, and trying to set off a counterattack.
Although only half of the combat strength of the Xia Hai Fleet was transferred, the remaining half was still on the battlefield in the southeast sea to suppress the enemy.
However, if you have been away for too long, it is inevitable that there will be variables, so it is safer to hurry back.
Before the northern border was breached, Roland City was the largest defense line on the northern border of the Kir Fito Empire.
Now that the defensive line is lost, it means that at least eighty percent of the territory in the north has been lost.
The Southern Frontier Corps marched all the way, and the northern cities fell one after another.
It was a time of nightmare for Kir Fito.
He hadn't slept for days, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked in terrible shape.
He sent messages one after another to confirm the situation with Arken Jingo, for fear that before he could wait for reinforcements, he himself would be finished.
Kir Fito forced himself to calm down, and told him that the momentary gains and losses were nothing, as long as his empire had not fully fallen, and as long as he was alive, there was still a chance to turn the tables!
Staring at the map in front of him, and after forcing his mind to calm down, Kir Fito gave the order.
"Let the South China Sea Fleet dispatch! The fleet that attacked Roland City will not be able to return in a short time, and this is probably the only chance to reverse the situation at sea! β
Kir Fito's order was unanimously approved by the ministers below.
Indeed, no matter how hard the battle situation at sea is, it is impossible for them to hold back five or six battleships, so it is better to fight while the combat power on the opposite side of the sea is scattered!
An order was quickly issued, and in the southeast sea, the Imperial Navy fleet, which had been gritting its teeth, finally dispatched at this moment.
In order to build a fleet capable of launching a Jedi counterattack in a short period of time, Kir Fito has taken out all his blood!
At the same time, the mobilization of a large amount of funds has basically brought the development of his empire into a state of complete stagnation.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this wave is planted, then he is not far from a complete collapse.
It can be said that Kiel Fito has staked all his hopes!
"Report to the colonel, about three hundred miles to the southeast, in the sea area, the traces of a strange fleet have been discovered!"
The report of the elf druid made Tang Han's heart slightly startled, since Lu Meng led half of the combat force to support Roland City, the command task on this side fell to Tang Han as an adjutant.
To say that Tang Han has no pressure at all is definitely false.
But fortunately, in the past few months, things have gone smoothly, and now this sudden accident has made his nerves tense suddenly.
"What's the configuration of that strange fleet?"
"The report colonel, after confirmation, the total number of warships is forty-two, of which twenty-eight are recognized as converted civilian ships, nine as destroyers, one as battleships, and the remaining four, which are larger than destroyers and also carry heavy naval guns, but they do not reach the size of battleships."
Tang Han's brows couldn't help frowning together, this time on the other side, the battle was very big.
Tang Han can become Lu Meng's adjutant and obtain the rank of lieutenant colonel, so he naturally cannot be a mediocre talent.
So he quickly realized that the other party should have known the news that they had sent half of the warships to support the battlefield in Roland City, so he wanted to take advantage of the dispersion of their combat forces to set off a counterattack at sea!
Now on the side of the Xia Hai Fleet, there are only four battleships and twenty destroyers, and in terms of the number of combat units alone, the opposite side surpasses them, but the overall quality is not high.
Those civilian warships that have been temporarily transformed are basically equivalent to miscellaneous soldiers at sea, and there is only one battleship as a large war unit at sea.
As for the four inexplicable battleships, according to Tang Han's personal guess, I am afraid that the other party did not have the time and spare strength to build more battleships, so in order to speed up the manufacturing efficiency, and at the same time to preserve firepower.
Not to mention, this point was really guessed correctly by Tang Han.
The construction cycle of the battleship was too long, and the consumption was too great, and after completing the construction of one battleship, Kir Fito, who was worried that the war would start before the second battleship was built, ordered someone to start building a heavy cruiser.
In a way, this is a clear compromise.
After all, according to the situation of the empire at that time, it was already very unwise to continue to hold back the battleship.
Straight to the point.
There is only one battleship on the opposite side, and according to the reconnaissance results of the elven druid, the remaining four battleships of considerable tonnage, although they also have good firepower, are obviously impossible to compare with the battleship.
At this time, Tang Han showed the decisiveness he should have as a fleet commander.
"Pass the order, maintain a speed of twenty knots, the whole fleet has entered a state of first-class combat readiness, the southeast position, and all battleships are ready for artillery bombardment!"
With this order, the huge main ship guns of the four battleships suddenly turned slowly, and by the time the Imperial Fleet discovered the existence of the Xia Hai Fleet, it was already too late.
At the moment when the opponent entered the attack range, the main gun of the battleship, which had already locked on the large direction, suddenly swept over with a salvo after adjustment!
The Imperial fleet, which was caught off guard, lost the lead as soon as it opened.
Two of the civilian warships sank on the spot after being hit by the guns of the battleship's main ship, and they did not show any value in this battle.
didn't have time to think about it, as a naval commander who was driven away at the head of the national disaster, Redmond Ames Spruance could only give the order to counterattack at this time.
The triple main gun in the bow of the flagship was the first to fire, but failed to hit any of the enemy ships.
Although he didn't expect it to hit with one hit from the beginning, when this moment really appeared, Spruance still sighed a little unwillingly.
If, at that moment, a miracle can happen, directly sinking the enemy's battleship or something, then not only can the enemy's naval combat power be weakened, but also the morale of your own side can be greatly improved.
Now, of course, it's time to recognize reality.
One after another, orders were quickly issued, and as the only battleship in the Imperial fleet, it began to slowly turn sideways to the hull and adjust its shelling angle.
At the same time, four heavy cruisers also rushed forward and joined the battle of firepower.
In this regard, the Xia Hai Fleet, which temporarily had an advantage in range and firepower, naturally would not be relentless, and the four battleships opened fire frequently and launched a merciless naval artillery strike.
A naval battle in the South China Sea of the Empire officially kicked off at this moment!
