readx; After Shuda and Yemoda arrived at the Sanganhe to convey the Didu transfer order, the faces of all the high-ranking officers in the Sanganhe Theater were gloomy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Struggled for several years on this transcontinental artery of communication, while resisting the Empire's Northern Theater and Boundary Forest Theater and the Alcatraz Army to the south. Throughout the entire War of the Gods, the only one who was able to resist for three years under the siege of the two epic heroes of the Golden Brain Amy and the Demon Marshal Yi Hailan, although he was always at a disadvantage, he never made any fatal mistakes, and the only one who was the lackey General Ray Barton and the Sanggan River Theater under his command was the only one that could fully demonstrate the combat power of the Sanggan River troops, but finally ushered in such an ending, which is sad in any case...... However, there is nothing wrong with this order itself. At this time, the Sanggan River war zone has been completely surrounded, and it has been oppressed into more than a dozen towns in a line, leaving the sight of the defenders of the city, it is no longer under the control of the Sanggan River - it is the territory of the small mercenary group, whether it is the vulture swordsman who sweeps in the sky from time to time or the sniper swordsman hidden in the dense forest, he can easily wipe out the scout team of the Sanggan River, and the surrounding residents are stupid with hostility in their eyes. Moreover, what the chief officers of the small mercenary group are best at is to make a sound and move the tiger away from the mountain, and if it is consumed in the Sanggan River, it may be eaten by the small mercenary group one day.

Water without a source, wood without roots, these two sentences seem to be tailored to the Sanggan River at this time, at this time, rather than sit and wait to die, it is really better to escape.

The overall transfer of the large army is actually a very complicated matter, countless relationships need to be coordinated, ships and materials need to be mobilized from various cities, the Jingrui troops need to be replaced, the dependents of high-ranking officers need to be transferred over, and the small mercenary group cannot be found out, everything is carried out at night, and it will be arranged after a whole month.

Shuda and several other commanders have also received news about the plague, and the blockade is still very tight, in case it is known by the soldiers below, they are afraid that it will cause a mutiny.

Late at night on February 21, the ninth year of the Magic Calendar, the regular army of the Sanggan River Theater quietly set off. The speed of the boat is very fast, and now, even if the scouts of the small mercenary group find out, even if they send out a high-speed mobile legion like the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force to run to the death, they will definitely not be able to catch up with the defenders of the Sanggan River.

By the afternoon of the next day, the flotilla, which had stretched for more than 10 miles, had entered the sea. According to the established plan, the fleet will turn north, land at Broken Ice Harbor, and counterattack all the way to Scambrai. If, in the past, the defenders of Broken Ice Harbor had been strong, then the fleet would continue to move north, eventually bypassing half a continent and landing on the eastern coastline of the Flower Language Plain to join up with the forces of the Holy See. In short, no matter where they go, this Jingrui army of more than 20,000 people will be a new force and have their own right to speak.

Looking at the continent that gradually disappeared at eye level, the senior officers all breathed a sigh of relief, it really was: "The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps." ”

Prior to the Great War of Magic, the military power of the Eminole Empire consisted mainly of land forces, and the navy, or more accurately called the navy, was a dispensable establishment in the Ministry of Imperial Affairs, and the largest ships of the time would not leave a fixed course for 20 nautical miles. The number of sailors in the Sangan River Theater was even smaller, with more than eighty percent of the warships carrying 30 people in crab claw boats, and the largest warships carrying only about 100 people, and not even a single shipyard -- in the words of the new seafaring forces such as Fanos, Alcatraz, and the Pirate King, they were nothing more than a "bathtub navy."

After Amy led the army south, he burned some of the ships of the Sangan River Naval Army, and in this case, Marshal Dahaino transferred 10 warships with a fixed strength of 300 men from his own establishment to the Sangan River Theater - which was repeatedly won by the Delaware.

The lackey general held a meeting of officers on the ship overnight, mainly to arrange the work on the prevention and control of the plague - even if the news was disseminated at this time, it would not be too much of a problem, after all, they were already at sea, and even if they wanted to be deserters, there was nowhere to escape.

At this moment, the door of the shipbuilding was slammed open, and the dragon knight Yemoda burst in with a heavy face - the two dragon knights of the Western Emperor Monarch family knew the importance of this pure indigenous army of the Sanggan River in this great plague, and the two of them took turns to patrol the sky every other hour.

"Your Excellency, an unknown fleet has appeared 20 miles southwest of the flank, with a total of more than 80 ships. After a slight pause, the dragon knight added: "They are all warships with more than 100 people, and they are all side-stringed forwards. ”

Battleship?

The shipyard was filled with unease.

The side-chord advance only meant one point: the whole fleet had entered a state of all-out attack - the bow of the warship was erected with punching wood, and the sides and stern of the deck were equipped with crossbow beds and catapults, and in terms of attack power, the stern was far from being comparable to the sides, and the ships with more than 100 men would have at least five bed crossbows and one catapult on each side of the ship.

Eighty warships meant that at least 400 bed crossbows and 100 catapults were ready to enter the state of war, so that the overwhelming attack power of Xing was definitely not something that the Sangan River army, dominated by crab claw clippers, could compete.

"Didn't you see the other party's banner clearly?" General Raybaton said in an unusually calm tone.

"No, but the fleets that can appear here are none other than small mercenary groups and Alcatraz Island. Yemoda was very sure.

"What's wrong?" Xiuda also rushed over, Yemoda gave a brief introduction, Xiuda took out the dragon flute and summoned his own dragon: "Your Excellency General, the Ten Men are the enemy's warships, please arrange it as soon as possible, I will go with Xiuda to investigate, and together with the war, we will try our best to cover you from the war." ”

There was no certainty in Shuda's tone - whether it was against a small mercenary group or an Alcatraz army, the number and quality of the opponent's dragon knights were staggering.

"Okay, don't be too reluctant, two adults, we will get closer to the north shore as soon as possible, if the situation is critical, we will abandon the ship and go ashore, as long as we land, there is no one in this area who is more familiar with the terrain than us. "General Raybarton very politely suggested to the two dragon knights.

Shuda Jing immediately shook his head and rushed out like a gust of wind in front of Yemoda.

"The kings returned to their troops...... Arthur, you stay. The General paused for a moment and nodded to the young man at the end of the crowd.

"Yes, sir. "It is said that young people with the blood of Delaware are as calm as glaciers at all times.

More than a dozen small boats were put down, carrying all the officers and quickly rowing in all directions of the fleet, six colored lights rose on the roof of the ship, and more than a dozen giant trumpets sounded at the same time!

"It's really a hero out of a young man, but Your Excellency is very calm. General Raybaton said in a faint tone whether he was praising or mocking.

"You're polite, and your lord is also very calm. The young man in black sat quietly, as if he was not speaking.

"Heh......" The cold air flow drifted from Ray Barton's lips: "Your Excellency Yi Hailan will make me very strange if he gives up this opportunity, that person, what he likes to do most is to rob while the fire is burning." ”

"Since your Excellency has already guessed, why don't you stop this transfer?" Arthur Blue looked at the general in front of him, as if he was looking outside, in fact, his gaze finally fell on the general, who was not yet forty years old, his sideburns were all white, Arthur seemed to see the man from the mountain goat herd before the Pan-continental War, honest and simple but full of heroism, he was really a rare talent under the family.

Hearing this, Raybarton's face quickly fluttered into a wry smile, and he let out a long sigh: "The helplessness of being a soldier lies in this, what can you do if you see through?" The clever enemy doesn't care whether you see through it or not, because he knows that even if you see it through, you must follow his chess path, otherwise you will ......"

Otherwise, the general didn't say, but the man in black understood it completely.

The wrinkles on Ray Bottom's forehead twitched again: "Whether it is His Excellency Amy the Golden Brain or His Excellency Yi Hailan, they are all soldiers who have not been used for a thousand years...... Even if you settle for the next best thing, it's best to stand in a distant place and appreciate the wit of the two everyone, but it's a pity...... It is really hard to say whether it is a great misfortune or a blessing in the world that we have become the common enemies of the two of them. ”

"It seems that there is no need for adults to say such discouraged words. After all, in the past few years, adults have advanced and retreated......"

The man in black's words were interrupted by Ray Barton's wave: "Hehe, it's just that you've been defeated and fought repeatedly, and the most commendable word is that you didn't make a fatal mistake and were eaten by others." ”

At this moment, the sound of horns was heard outside the shipbuilding, and it was clear that the various fleets were ready.

"Please stay, just one thing. Raybarton's tone returned to normal: "I'm old, and now I have no power. Your Excellency is still young, so you should lead most of the crab claw boats to retreat first, and I will take care of the cover. ”

"But ......"

"Nothing, but, do you know the situation of the water outside?" Ray Barton's eyes flashed with helpless wisdom: "Do you think that Your Excellency Yi Hailan will attack when the cháo rises? Moreover, there is no cover, and once we are caught up, what awaits us is total annihilation...... So, please, Your Excellency, save a little strength for the head of the family. ”

Arthur Lansey, who has always lived in the snow-capped mountains of Maciss, has a great lack of knowledge about cháo.

"Stand down. ”

The man in black groaned for a moment, bowed deeply, and quietly pushed the door out, and at the moment when the door was about to close, the last sentence squeezed out of the crack in the door: "Say hello to the head of the family for me...... Thank you for his kindness. ”

The man in black, with slightly moist eyes, quickly jumped onto the boat and approached his fleet.

As the six lanterns on the main ship continued to change, the fleet was soon divided into two parts, all the large ships and the same number of crab claw boats formed the outer fleet, and Arthur Blue's seat soon raised a new command light group, and hundreds of crab claw boats turned their bows and went straight to the northeast.

At this time, most of the senior officers had already understood the general's intentions, but only a few people realized that the general was still in his own boat, and no one thought that the general would have the ambition to break the boat.

The distance of 20 nautical miles, whether it is near or not, is not far away, an hour later, the tall ship building of Alcatraz Island has appeared on the horizon, at a glance, the white sails seem to cover the entire sea, the two pairs of large flywheels on both sides of the building bring up countless white sè waves, and the outermost ship throws a water tank-sized fireball to a hundred meters away from time to time, and the fireball squeaks and floats on the waves, indicating the direction for the follow-up fleet.

In the sky, three or four black dragons roared, their huge wings blocking the red moonlight from time to time.

Seeing the building ship opposite, the slotted fleet immediately turned into a V-shape, the wings flew together, more than ten fireballs were thrown, and the ocean was clear.

"It seems that such a gang really has to eat himself, otherwise he would not be so bold. "This kind of fireball for instruction is generally not used lightly, and if it is not used well, it can easily become a target for enemy attacks, and Raybarton tapped his finger twice on the ship's bon.

"My lord, let's go up and fight with these guys. The officer next to him was extremely annoyed when he saw his opponent's audacity.

"Death?" Ray Barton glanced coldly: "Target, northwest, all ships scatter, flank, retreat, retreat and fight, throw all the fireballs first, prevent the enemy from following." ”

"Under the fame, there are really no vain. Just opposite Raybarton, on the tall boat, Yi Hailan looked out from afar by the railing, watching every move of Raybottom's fleet.

All naval warfare experts know that the same warship, with the same side-chord attack, has a 70% advantage in fighting and retreating—the retreating side's crossbow bolts and flying stones can hit farther, and moreover, the hit rate is higher.

Just now, Shuda and Yemoda suddenly swept the sea to disturb the fleet, and at this time, these two dragon knights may still be eyeing each other, and although Raybardon's modest command has nothing to speak of, there is absolutely no loophole. The rash advance of individual ships is likely to be eaten by veterans at the right time.

"20 ships were transferred from the flotilla on the left flank and outflanked from the west. The rest of the ships, continuing to follow, began to fire crossbows. Yi Hailan issued a new order - the speed of the main warship of Alcatraz Island is the fastest among the participating empires, the reason is very simple, the blueprint of the Alcatraz warship comes from the dwarf kingdom, although this is a drawing from 20,000 years ago, but the flywheel and other shè skills are still ahead of today's human civilization.

"Boom-"

"Whew-"

"Whew-"

As one by one the warriors stepped on the pump spring, a dull sound sounded on the sea! Bed crossbows, foot battles, naval battles, and even the king of the three wars in the face of aerial battles such as dragon knights began to exert their might.

More than two meters long, the bowl mouth of the bowl of the mouth of the giant crossbow arrows screamed and screeched across the sea level, and most of the crossbow arrows finally landed in the sea with all their strength - before penetrating the sea, the crossbow arrows were like thin stone flakes thrown by children, constantly jumping on the surface of the sea, bringing up white waves more than a man high...... Only a handful of crossbow bolts hit their targets, and even if they did, the effect shocked the soldiers of both sides - the first truly large-scale naval battle ever struck.

The huge crossbow monster screamed and plunged into the ship with more than 100 people, the 15-meter-high warship seemed to be pushed by the sea giant with his hand extremely rudely, and the bow of the ship was suddenly tilted more than 20 degrees, if there was no ballast stone, it would definitely overturn in an instant, and the soldiers on the deck were immediately thrown into the ocean by the huge habitual xing once they missed. After half a breath, all the crew members of the entire ship can hear the loud sound of the crossbow bolts when they hit! In most cases, the side of the ship will be torn open with a hole of up to two meters! If it hits the bow of the ship, the giant crossbow will even penetrate the entire bow of the ship! If a soldier is unfortunate enough to be hit...... If this happens, the probability is not low, and the whole body will be torn apart immediately - as neatly as cutting off a small tin man with iron scissors. The last warship of the Sanggan River fleet was the closest to the Alcatraz fleet, and in just one minute, it was hit by more than a dozen giant crossbows, and the big ship trembled, as if the banana leaves destroyed by the torrential rain in the summer night were suddenly shaken by the huge force, and finally, with a muffled sound, it was completely overturned by the huge force released by the crossbow arrows...... The first battleship of Alcatraz Island was also shè into a hedgehog, the five-meter-high shipbuilding was lifted away by four giant crossbows, and the two white sails fell into the water in response, the sails dragged the hull after the draft, the warship circled in place, and was hit by the two warships that were following in a hurry, and the four striking logs dismantled their own warships into pieces...... "Order to abandon the crab claw boat and light the sails!" Ray Barton immediately gave a new order.

More than a dozen small boats were immediately ignited and lay across the sea, and the sailors hurriedly climbed up the ladder to the big ship.

The Alcatraz fleet did not evade it at all, and crashed headlong - this kind of fire was not harmful to the sea ships at all, and all the sea ships were specially treated with anti-corrosion and fire protection.

However, the burning light of the boats illuminated the Alcatraz fleet, and the first two ships to break into the fire immediately became the targets of the bed crossbows of the Sangan River warship, and four or five crossbow arrows screamed and tore off the ship's building and half of the deck, and the two captains were killed instantly, and the warships withdrew from the war.

The three dark dragon knights in the sky got the signal of the handsome ship, and were just about to attack the Sanggan River fleet from both sides, in the direction of the mainland, the two dragon knights of the Western Emperor Monarch family came out again against the sea, and a series of dragon breath balls in their mouths made the sky clear, especially the fire divine dragon, the huge dragon power suppressed the dark dragon, and it was impossible to cooperate with the dragon knights as usual.

Yi Hailan stood on the ship's tower, not in the slightest hurry, let alone summon the black iron dragon Yinfeng, which could compete with the divine dragon, but ordered the pursuing fleet to slow down - this is Yi Hailan's unique style, he prefers to settle the entire war before or outside the war, regardless of the length of the moment.

In less than half an hour, the flotilla outflanked by Alcatraz Island from the west overtook the warships of the Sanggan River, and then, a long snake formation was also placed on the sea, and countless soldiers gathered on the left flank of the warship, and the lights were bright.

"Let them surrender, and I will give them the dignity they deserve. Yi Hailan waved lightly.

On the sea, there is absolutely no hope of escape for any fleet if it is attacked on its back.

A series of colored lights went out, and the warships of the Sangan River had slowed down, and all the lights had been extinguished, but there was no response.

In the sky, Xiuda let out a low sigh and beckoned to his cousin: "Let's go." ”

"Ah, we don't cover anymore?" Yemoda was taken aback, and did not fulfill his obligation to cover, which was completely inconsistent with the family dragon knight Jing God.

Xiuda shook his head slightly: "Give them a chance to surrender, after all, they tried their best to cover the retreat of the other robes, and moreover, they have completed the task." ”

This sentence turned to the second circle in Yemoda's mind, and the Golden Dragon Knight understood what it meant to fall to the bottom, Yemoda was already in his early thirties at this time, and he was no longer the stunned young man who had just joined the Pan-Continental War, so he let out a sigh of unwillingness and drove his mount to the north.

"My lord, my lord!" The shipbuilding was violently pushed away, and General Raybaton rushed in: "Which two princes of the Western Emperor family have escaped, hum...... Speaking is better than singing, but when it comes to the critical moment, he leaves the adults and escapes by himself. ”

"Really?" the general's tone was very flat, but with three points of seriousness: "That's the kindness of His Royal Highness, don't get me wrong." ”

The young officer was stunned for a moment, the adults won't be confused, right? Escaping from the battle has become a good intention......?" So what do we do?"

"Did Your Excellency Order Us to surrender?" the general asked leisurely.

Adversity...... The chief of the guard hesitated for a moment, there was indeed such a signal just now, but, with what he knew about the general for many years, Ray Barton would definitely not accept such a shame, so he didn't come in to report it at all.

"Pass on my order, all the soldiers of each warship lay down their arms and surrender to His Excellency the Demon Marshal with the dignity that the emperor should have. At this point in the war, it was no longer the fault of the soldiers. Since Lord Chi Hanfeng can give an order for His Majesty's Praetorian Guard to surrender to the enemy, of course I have the right to do so. Raybarton's shoulders were raised high, and then he stood up, as if it was not himself who gave the order to surrender at all, reached out and picked up two pieces of meat floss from the table, and stuffed them into his dog's mouth, and the big dog's ruddy tongue licked the palm of his master's hand.

"Yes. The young officer immediately bowed his head.

What followed was, as everyone knew afterwards, that as Marshal Yi Hailan's ship approached General Raybarton's ship, there was only one line of conversation between the two senior officers, whom had never met before.

"Please, Your Excellency, at the right time, transfer my subordinates to the Empire, and all the dishonor will be borne by the subordinate alone. ”

Without waiting for Yi Hailan to answer, General Ray Barton stood up, his shoulders stretched back slightly, as if to stretch his muscles, and then, the general's tall body jumped down from the more than ten meters high ship, drew a hard curve and finally fell into the turbulent water!

"Your Excellency!"

"General!"

More than 2,000 soldiers on board the Sangan River witnessed this scene, and most of them cried out in surprise -- General Raybaton had served in the Sangan River theater for several years and had a pretty good reputation. Immediately, with a low wail, General Raybarton's favorite white bear dog jumped from the ship into the icy water, choked twice, and disappeared into the sea.

The lowliest-born general of the War of the Gods came to an end in such a way, and all he took away was the dishonor of repeated defeats and the silent promises of his old enemies...... And there are faithful companions who can't speak themselves.
