August 12, nine hundred and ninety-two years of the True God Calendar, sunny, west wind, light.
The cross-river battle between the Edmund Empire and the Charles Empire, and the defense battle of Abadan City between the Charles Empire and the Edmund Empire, begin!
The Edmund Empire's first attack was a desperate one. Eighteen thousand Edmund's troops, from veteran general Maureen to the most ordinary sailor, all wanted to accomplish their feats in one battle. !
Hundreds of rivals vying for success!
Hundreds of large, medium and small warships of various colors set out from the south bank of the Pennesian River together, rushing towards the city of Abadan.
The Charles Empire did not show weakness, and also sent hundreds of warships, preparing to face Edmund's navy on the Pennesian River!
Edmund, for his part, was shocked by the tough attitude of the Charles Empire, and then naturally became angry!
Edmund's navy is known as the most powerful navy in the God-given continent. Together with the cavalry of the Charles Empire, it is called one of the two most powerful arms in the God-given continent. It is not touted by others, nor is it the same. I boasted about it.
That¡¯s the reputation that Edmond¡¯s navy has accumulated through hundreds of water battles, large and small!
This reputation is earned through hard work!
Except for the battle where veteran Maureen lost to Yaman in Abadan City, Edmund¡¯s navy really didn¡¯t know how to write the word ¡°failure¡±!
At the beginning of the war, Edmund's staff conceived many ways to deal with the Charles Empire. The Charles Empire would even allow Edmund's navy to land on the south bank of the Pennesian River, and then use powerful cavalry to attack Edmund who was halfway across the river. Edmund's staff has already thought of such a fighting method for the Mongolian army.
But they never thought that the Charles Empire would start a tit-for-tat water war on the Pennesian River!
Because judging from past results, the Charles Empire has no ability to compete with the Edmund Empire¡¯s navy!
This is the Edmund Empire, its confidence in its own country¡¯s navy!
However, this kind of self-confidence was mercilessly thrown to the ground when the warships of the Charles Empire rushed out of Abadan City, and was stepped on several times!
Charles, you are so arrogant!
Does Augustine, a young emperor, still think that the current situation is still in the Arman era? ?
Do the arrogant Charles people still want to defeat the Edmund navy led by veteran Morin in Abadan! ?
Dreaming!
Not only veteran Maureen is angry, but every proud Edmund Navy soldier is also angry!
Especially when I think of the fact that the only time Edmund's navy failed in battle was under the city of Abadan, every Edmund's navy soldier felt that his face was getting hot!
The Charles people are using their actual actions to constantly rub salt into the wounds of Edmund's navy!
It¡¯s them who slapped the big mouth of Edmund Navy anyway!
But don¡¯t forget, after being slapped in the face, you will immediately face an angry counterattack!
Now that the Charles people have slapped Edmund¡¯s navy in the mouth, let¡¯s see if the Charles people can resist the angry Edmund navy!
"Quick! Speed ??up!"
Nearly every one of Edmund's warships shouted the same order!
These Edmund sailors, whether they were the commanders of large warships or the lowest sailors of small warships, were all furious, and they all tried their best to go faster. It can bring the warships of Charles Empire into its attack range.
However, no matter how anxious they are, the contact between the two parties will still take time.
The Pennesa River, as the largest river on the God-given continent, originates from the Central Mountains and rushes from west to east to the easternmost sea. The widest place is more than two hundred feet long, and the narrowest place is five feet long. Sixty feet.
As one of the five major cities on the frontier of the Charles Empire, Abadan City is located on the north bank of the most stable section of the Pennesian River. It is exactly 150 feet away from the opposite south bank!
Today is a sunny day again, and the majestic wind from west to east cannot provide any power to the warships of both sides, making the sails on the dual warships useless.
Under such circumstances, the warships of both sides could rely entirely on manpower to slowly approach the Pennesian River.
Although the camps of both sides were filled with loud gongs and drums and shouts of killing, the warships of both sides were like slow-moving old women, moving forward step by step.
Edmund¡¯s warships should be faster after all.
Although?The warships of Edmund's Empire and Charles' Empire were exactly the same in shape, and the configuration of the sailors was exactly the same.
There are one hundred people on large warships, sixty on medium-sized warships, and twenty on small warships. Although each warship is equipped with sails, when there is no wind, warships still mainly rely on sailors to sail and sail. fighting.
¡°When these sailors are sailing, they are sailors, and when they are fighting, they are warriors of the navy.
The reason why Edmund's warships are faster is not because the sailors on each warship are stronger than those of Charles's empire, but because they are more coordinated and unified when rowing.
"However, the water battle between the Charles Empire and the Edmund Empire is not a dragon boat race. It does not mean whoever rows faster will come out on top.
As the two sides approached slowly but firmly, almost at the same moment, both sides poured out endless rain of arrows at the other side's warship.
The tactics of water battles on the God-given Continent are very simple. There are no new tricks over and over again. The rain of arrows at the beginning of contact is almost the unified opening of all water battles.
Long arrows shot through the air, densely packed, and some even collided in the air and fell into the water together. However, more arrows still pounced on each other fiercely.
Whether it was a sailor from the Edmund Empire or a soldier from the Charles Empire, they raised the big shield at their feet almost at the same moment.
¡°Bang bang bang bang¡¡±
The arrows from both sides hit the shield at the same time.
The sharp arrows, with great force, hit the big shield made of three layers of cowhide, making a dull sound, as dense as raindrops.
The same tactics, the same defense, the first wave of attacks at the beginning of the water battle, for the Edmund Navy who is well versed in water battles, I really don¡¯t know how many times they have experienced it.
But, today¡¯s battle is different!
The Charles did not use ordinary feather arrows, but rockets!
It is not a flammable substance like linoleum pieces tied to the arrowhead. After it is ignited, the sharpness of the bow and arrow is greatly sacrificed in exchange for the continuous burning of the flame.
Instead, a black ointment was applied.
Roland is on fire!
Although after the two battles of the defense of Oak Castle and Roland's attack on Louis, Roland's fire became famous in the God-given continent, and the people of Emond also knew more or less about Roland's fire, but Emond's water Jun, never thought that Roland Fire could have such great power.
Just wrapping the arrow a little will keep burning. Even if the arrow falls into the water, it will have to wait until the black ointment named "Roland Fire" is completely burned out before it can be extinguished.
Edmund¡¯s naval forces once again used their own embarrassment to prove the power of Roland Fire to the entire God-given Continent.
On the warship, on the big shield, on the leather armor of the navy, and even on the sail raised by the warship, there were little bits of flames everywhere!
These flames were not only dense, but also kept burning in a stubborn manner, igniting the large shield, igniting the leather armor, igniting the sails, and even connected together like a prairie fire, igniting the warships of the Edmund Empire one by one. , covered in a sea of ??fire!
Veteran general Mo Lin is so excited!
The Charles people actually started a fire attack when they came up!
The so-called water and fire are ruthless. In water battles, fire attacks have always been the favorite of various naval generals because of their huge power and great damage to warships.
However, in the history of water battles in the God-given Continent, there were not many water battles that actually used fire attacks.
Because so far, the three major empires of mankind have not found a good burning agent.
Either the combustion performance is insufficient and cannot achieve real power, or the cost is too high and cannot be used in large-scale water battles, or it can be quickly extinguished when burning. You know, during water battles , there is never a shortage of water for putting out fires.
And the fire attack, precisely because of this embarrassing willingness, has been shelved by the navy generals of various countries.
Due to the lack of raw materials, the inability to use large-scale fire attacks has always been an eternal pain in the hearts of navy generals from various countries. Finding a cheap incendiary agent with good combustion performance is also their constant pursuit.
In fact, when the old general Mo Lin heard about Roland's fire, he once thought of using this black ointment to achieve fire attacks.
Since Roland Fire can only be produced in the Charles Empire, and after Roland discovered Roland Fire, he strictly controlled it. The huge Edmund Empire could not even find a drop of this black ointment, let alone , let the veteranMaureen went to test out his idea.
Now, the old general Molin's idea has been realized, but it was realized by the Charles Empire, and the object of realization turned out to be him, a navy general. It has to be said that the color of this humor is as dark as the color of Roland Fire !
Old General Maureen has no time to feel sorry for himself now. More than a hundred warships of the Edmund Navy are being rapidly devoured by fierce fire. As the commander-in-chief, he must come up with a response plan as soon as possible!
"Send the order! Order to abandon ship! Everyone is waiting for response!"
"Send the order! Order the medium-sized warship to prepare rockets and dock outside the attack range of the Charles Empire. We don't want to kill the enemy, but just stop the Charles Empire's pursuit!"
"Send the order! Dispatch small warships, travel lightly, and dock outside the attack range of the Charles Empire. Be sure to pay attention to your own safety and bring Pao Ze back!"
"Send the order! The defensive trebuchets are ready and ready to attack at any time!"
¡¡
Veteran general Mo Lin is indeed a veteran who uses troops to maintain stability, but when the situation is not good, he shows the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrist!
A single arrow attack by Roland Fire from the Charles Empire caused the veteran Mo Lin to completely give up the first wave of attacks from the Edmund Empire!
