Chapter 681: Steel Monster
Taking advantage of the dwarven fleet's success in attracting the attention of the other party, Monsoon's fleet launched an attack on Eric Mountton's port city.
During this period, several black sail warships responsible for patrolling in the surrounding waters naturally discovered their existence.
However, now that most of the warships have been led away by the dwarven fleet, although Monsoon's naval combat strength is average, it is too contemptuous to want to stop his fleet with just a few black sail warships for patrolling.
There is no need to coax at all, just attack head-on!
In terms of combat effectiveness, the steel fleet, which has a steady advantage, has no possibility of losing at all.
After sinking the black-sailed battleships, the steel fleet in an artillery formation rushed straight to the port.
In the port area, the garrison troops who received the alarm signal had already pushed the magic ballista into a defensive formation, trying to repel the monsoon's fleet.
However, in the face of the strong naval artillery fire from the sea, it is also difficult for the defending troops in the port area to take advantage.
Under the continuous firepower sweep, the garrison troops were brutally crushed, and one after another steel battleships landed strongly and launched landing operations.
During this period, three large landing ships of considerable scale attracted a lot of attention, and only after the port area was forcibly captured by Monsoon's troops, the three large landing ships slowly appeared.
After landing, with a muffled sound, one after another huge metal plates directly erected a temporary metal bridge in the large landing ship and the port area.
In the next second, with a roaring sound, one after another steel monsters slowly appeared, rushing directly into the port area along the metal bridge erected.
They were covered in thick armor plates, and the tracked wheels rotated at high speed, pushing forward the steel monsters that you knew at a glance that the tonnage was definitely not light.
At the same time, there was a long cannon barrel on top of the heavy body, and the black muzzle of the cannon still exuded a cold glow even under the scorching sun.
In modern times, people commonly refer to this weapon of war as a tank!
Needless to say, the tanks on these three large landing ships are not Monsoon's troops, but those supported by Li Ji, and they are the tank troops of the dwarf clan!
Judging from the current stage, only a dwarven civilization with super talent in the field of thermal weapons can make a weapon of this level!
For the Dark Elf garrison, which is not currently equipped with anti-tank weapons, the appearance of tanks is obviously a heavy blow to them.
With those tanks as the pioneers, Monsoon's army rushed directly into the city.
Unlike the elven cities that coexist with nature, the dark elven cities are very devoid of vegetation, revealing the feel of a medieval city.
With a stone house and bluestone tiles, it's hard to associate the city in front of you with the elves.
The population of the city is small, and it can be seen that Eric Moonton has also been prepared for a long time.
In this port city, the population that could be evacuated would have been evacuated long ago, otherwise, it would be impossible for such a large city to have so few people.
But it doesn't matter, the population of the elves is basically useless to them, what Li Ji and Monsoon need is a front-line stronghold.
And now, their purpose has been achieved.
After controlling all the limited dark elves, after completely occupying an entire port city, Monsoon quickly sent a message to Li Ji.
Monsoon: Plans are going well, and the port city is occupied.
Li Ji, who received this news, was obviously in good spirits.
Li Ji: Then hurry up and ask your fleet to come over to help, my side needs to deal with the Fish-Man Force and the Black Sail Fleet at the same time, but it's very tiring!
With the gathering of forces on the opposite side, even Li Ji's dwarf fleet began to fight hard, and in the current situation, he could only deal with the other party.
If Monsoon's fleet can arrive in time, it will naturally be able to help him
Spread off the pressure.
In this regard, after signaling all the army units to complete the landing, Ji Feng rushed his fleet to support Li Ji.
This battle on the sea will need to be fought for a while.
Although William Moose sent a limited number of troops, and Eric Mountton's Black Sail Fleet was not fully combat, these two guys were typical hard bones in the field of naval warfare after all, and it was not so easy to gnaw them.
In this way, the battle at sea was directly handed over to Li Ji and his admirals to be fully responsible, while he himself began to be busy building supply lines at sea.
For an army on an expedition, securing supplies is a top priority.
Unless the army can not eat or drink, otherwise, no matter how strong the army is, once there is a problem with logistics and supply, it will be difficult to escape the end of defeat.
After a period of time, Eric Multon, who received the news, although he had been mentally prepared, but after learning the exact news, his face still became uncontrollably ugly.
Those guys in Huaxia really did it.
Leaving aside the fleet at sea for the time being, a port city was captured by the other side all of a sudden, which made Eric Moonton feel a little bad.
The troops who had been evacuated from the city had brought him some news, including a steel monster.
As a modern person, through a simple description, Eric Mountton's mind undoubtedly quickly conjured up the word "tank".
Looking at the entire battlefield, those who can build tanks at this stage are not able to think of anyone else in a short period of time, except for Li Ji, who is a player of the dwarf civilization.
The advent of this powerful land weapon has made Eric Moonton feel more stressed, and the most important thing he needs to do now should be to reclaim the fallen port city as soon as possible.
For Li Ji and Jifeng, who launched the expedition, as long as they did not have a front-line stronghold, they would not be able to stay here for a long time.
As for the future, Eric Moonton intends to focus on defense.
After all, his main army was attacking Jacopo Alfonso's territory, and if he transferred his main army back now, his previous attack would be in vain.
For this reason, there is no way to let the main forces continue to attack, and his own side to take the defensive.
And in the face of such a situation, Eric Mountton's confidence is still quite sufficient, after all, he is the second-ranked player in the silver ranking, but it is not so easy to plant!
On Jacob Alfonso's side, at this time, the offensive efficiency of the Dark Elf army was more involved.
If they can use the power of Hydra to get rid of Jacopo Alfonso in a short time, then Li Ji and Monsoon on the other side will have a hard time.
In the midst of a rumbling sound, it took a lot of time and effort to clear the collapsed valley with the unremitting efforts of the Dark Elf army.
It was still early at this time, and Vegeta, who had breathed a sigh of relief, quickly ordered the whole army to advance again, after signaling his army to rest for a while.
As a result, before it had been pushed out of the road, the Hydra, which had opened the way in front of it, stepped into the carefully arranged minefield on the opposite side, and the violent explosion roared endlessly.
Obviously, in order to hinder their advance, Jacopo Alfonso used all the means at his disposal.
The explosion of the mine, which has significantly increased the amount of gunpowder, is quite powerful and extremely dense, but it is much worse to hurt the Hydra.
In this way, Vegeta directly let Hydra shoulder the task of minesweeping and pushed it all the way forward.
After letting them get through the minefield safely, it was also a good time to appease the uncle.
Among the dark elves, the status of the Hydra is extremely high, even if it is a general like Vegeta, he can't command the Hydra in a commanding tone, and he has to discuss it carefully.
It was blown up by a landmine, although it didn't cause much damage to it, but the uncle's emotions
It's also getting a little irritable.
At this time, Vegeta, who knew what to do, hurriedly ordered several fresh cattle and sheep to be delivered.
It is not easy to eat meat when you are out on the battlefield, let alone fresh cattle and sheep, and carrying them can be said to greatly increase the transportation cost of military supplies.
But there is no way to do it, if you want to make this master angry, it is useless to just get some dead cows and dead sheep up.
The Hydra's bloody mouth was wide open, and like many snakes when eating, the Hydra swallowed its prey in one bite and then slowly digested it in its stomach.
After pacifying Hydra, Vegeta commanded the army to continue its advance.
He was not in a hurry, the closer he was to the battlefield, the more calm he should be.
Jacopo Alfonso's defense line was there, and he couldn't run, and when he got closer, it was time to start adjusting, rushing forward in a hurry, but it was easy to lose.
As a veteran, Vegeta wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
But Jacob Alfonso was not going to wait, and during that time, they also sent small troops in succession to carry out endless harassment operations against the camp of the dark elf army, and they did not intend to let them rest well.
And in the state of continuous dismantling of moves by both sides, an offensive and defensive battle has completely begun!
Looking at the Hydra that appeared in the distance, the highest level of alarm was directly raised in the fortress, and one mortar after another fired white phosphorus shells at the first time, striking at the advancing army of dark elves.
The power of the white phosphorus bomb is of little use to the Hydra, and the main target is actually the main force of the Dark Elf army.
As for the Hydra, Jacob Alfonso has a special armor-piercing bullet for it!
Accompanied by the roar of artillery fire, a large number of armor-piercing shells launched a concentrated fire attack directly towards the Hydra.
Feeling the threat posed by those armor-piercing shells, the hydra let out a furious hissing as it quickly cast a strengthening spell, enveloping its massive snake body in a burst of magical light, and then began a frantic advance.
During this period, the army of dark elves under the command of Vegeta also made continuous moves, magic ballistas poured firepower, dark elf mages unleashed spell chanting, and a large number of harpies launched a killing from the air, while putting a negative FF on the enemy garrison, launched a deadly attack.
In the face of the garrison army that has been overwhelming all its combat power and has been gathering momentum for a long time, even the powerful army of dark elves will have to pay a lot of price under this dense artillery attack.
Constantly confirming the entire battle situation, inside the fortress, Jacob Alfonso, who saw the opportunity, immediately gave an order.
Behind the fortress, three airships that had just arrived at the front line quickly rose into the air, loaded with napalm, and flew towards the main battlefield.
At that moment, looking at the three airships that appeared in his field of vision from afar, Vegeta, who was directing the battle in the rear, his face suddenly changed.
He still vividly remembers the terrifying bombing of napalm before, but now the airship appeared again, which immediately shocked him.
Without hesitation at all, as the signal was issued, the Harpy Force changed its attack target at the first time, and went straight to kill the three airships, striving to force them down before the three airships flew above their heads.
Jacob Alfonso's tactical arrangement this time can be said to be quite clear, that is, with the continuous strikes of white phosphorus bombs and napalm, the main force of the dark elves side will be severely damaged.
As long as the opponent's main force is greatly damaged, no matter how fierce the Hydra on the opposite side is, this battle on the opposite side will not be able to continue!
Until then, of course, how to survive the Harpy's attack is an unavoidable problem.
In such a short period of time, it was not easy for his rear factory to rush out three airships without being skilled.
As for improvement, it's really hard for the strong.
In this way, Jacopo Alfonso has no other way but to fight.
end
In fact, there is really 100% certainty about what is happening on the battlefield, and if you want to achieve results, you always have to take some risks.
This battle in the air can be said to have attracted the attention of many people.
In the face of the siege of a large number of harpies, the soldiers arranged in the pods also held rifles and launched a counterattack.
