- "The long pole tactic of blocking the enemy still has its flaws that are difficult to overcome"
Although this tactic was thought up by Richard to be used in conjunction with Roland Fire, Richard and Augustine had an in-depth discussion on this tactic at the beginning of the war, so Augustine knew the pros and cons of this tactic clearly.
This tactic can be explained clearly in just eight words - invincible from the front, useless from the side!
What this tactic really brings to Edmund's navy is the powerful adhesion and burning properties of Roland Fire. The real role of the long pole in blocking the enemy is to prevent the enemy from getting close before Roland Fire forms a raging sea of ??fire. After arriving on the warship of Charles Empire, he could only wait for death on his own warship.
However, this effect can only appear when facing the enemy head-on. If it reaches the side, the effect of the long pole in blocking the enemy will be greatly reduced, or even useless.
The fundamental reason lies in the long pole.
In order to ensure that the long pole has sufficient toughness and stiffness, the eight-meter-long wooden pole is made of bowl-mouth thickness. In a fierce battle, at least five or six people are needed to hold such a long pole.
The standing space for five or six people on a warship full of sailors is definitely not as big as expected. In fact, the warships of the Charles Empire can only equip each medium-sized warship with two long poles at most. If there are too many, there will be no room for maneuver.
Such a configuration can certainly block oncoming enemy warships, but if the enemy warships attack from the side, the long poles of the Charles Empire will be completely useless.
In a fierce battle, it is completely unrealistic to adjust the direction of the long pole.
If the long pole is placed flat on the warship, even for a small warship, the length of the long pole exposed on the side of the warship is only about two meters. Such a distance cannot stop the Edmund Empire navy at all. A flying leap - in the end, we still have to enter the battle to board the ship.
All this determines that the warships of the Charles Empire must be close together during battle to provide sufficient protection for the sides of the warships used.
Of course, if the Charles Empire has enough warships to show the entire battle line in front of the Edmund Empire, there is no need to worry about its broadside.
However, this assumption has no practical significance at all for the Charles Imperial Navy in Abadan City.
Because what the Charles Empire¡¯s navy lacks most is quantity!
Under Augustine's tireless explanation, Jihad's face turned pale little by little, and finally became as white as a piece of paper. The ecstasy and excitement just now had long since disappeared.
"What Marquis Richard said just now is right. In order to achieve the final victory in the following battle, we must ultimately rely on the arduous training and life-or-death fighting of the Navy of the Charles Empire"
"Count Gerhard, now, as Emperor Charles, I officially order you to prepare everyone in Abadan City for a hard and deadly fight!"
Augustine looked directly at the nominally top guard general of Abadan City and said word by word: "This battle is difficult, and it all depends on your efforts!"
"Snapped¡¡"
Count Gerhard put his feet together and gave Augustine a standard military salute, his face full of solemnity.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that everyone in Abadan City will definitely live up to your Majesty's wishes!"
Watching General Gerhard's iron armor clang away, Augustine and Richard fell into deep thought at the same time.
I really don¡¯t know how many warships of the Charles Empire will be able to continue sailing on the Pennesian River after this battle. Likewise, I don¡¯t know how many naval forces of the Charles Empire will be able to continue rowing their oars. Pick up the sword and be ready to protect the frontiers of Charles' empire at any time
"Your Majesty, how about you go to the city first I'm here"
Richard advised Augustine:
"This battle is not only difficult, although we have Roland Fire, and the naval officers of Abadan City are also fighting to the death However, the huge disparity in numbers still makes me not optimistic about this battle"
"But fortunately, Abadan City is not an isolated city. We still have the entire Charles Empire behind us! Even if we lose this battle, we can still rely on the tall walls of Abadan City to resist"
"The warriors of the Charles Empire are never afraid of fighting!"
Augustine looked at Richard's face and smiled slightly, with a hint of calmness.
"My Lord Marquis, do you think I look like an emperor who has escaped from battle"
He waved his hand to show his understanding.Chad didn't need to speak. Augustine turned towards the direction of the Pennesian River, with a hint of loneliness in her low tone, and also a hint of excitement.
"I know that you are doing it for my own goodto go into the city to organize the defense of Abadan City, to prepare for future battles, and at the same time to ensure the life of me, the useless emperor of Charles, butI can't!"
"Although my current level of fifth-level mid-level fighting spirit is nothing in the eyes of a strong man like you, an eighth-level intermediate level My fighting spirit level has not improved at all since I left Oak Castle. If Roland knew about it, he would probably still You will laugh at me regardless of face"
"Don't worry, with my level of fighting spirit, it is impossible for me to rush to the front line. Moreover, my identity also determines that I cannot rush to the front line of the battle"
"But, I can't enter the city! I want to be here, on my flagship, outside the city of Abadan, on the Pennesian River, at the place closest to the battlefield!"
¡°I want to watch the warriors of Charles¡¯ Empire fight bravely to kill the enemy!¡±
"I want to watch the navy of the Edmund Empire scream in agony under Roland's fire and your flickering sword!"
"I want to watch the warriors of the Charles Empire use their own blood and long swords to throw the so-called 'strongest' title of the Edmund Empire Navy into the Pennesian River!"
"I will be here, watching the warriors of the Charles Empire use their heroism and bravery to smash the ambition of the Edmund Empire to invade us!"
A flush flashed across Augustine's face, and the light in his eyes reflected the golden light on the Pennesian River.
Seeing Augustine in such a state, Richard really couldn't say anything else, and in the end he said "Be careful" uneasily.
"Don't worry Count Jihad has inspected all the defenses in Abadan City, and Bob will soon complete the construction of the defensive magic circle With him as a sixth-level magician by my side, I can finally Even if it doesn¡¯t work, it can guarantee that my life will be worry-free"
After finishing speaking, Augustine turned to Richard and said with a half-smile:
"My Marquis, it is not your style to be timid before fighting. Even if you are not optimistic about the following battle, you don't have to always push me into Abadan City"
"snort!"
Richard snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Although he was far away, Augustine could still hear Richard's whisper coming from the wind.
"If Roland were herehe would definitely punch you unconscious"
Augustine smiled slightly and turned his attention to the Pennesian River ahead.
On the other side of the river, the navy of the Edmund Empire was ready for battle.
More than 200 large and small warships of the first attack formation have been lined up on the Pennesian River
The war is about to break out!
?¡divided¡
The wind is howling!
The warm wind blows from the East China Sea, full of rich water vapor, blowing through the fertile wilderness of the Edmund Empire and across the vast surface of the Pennesian River. In the August weather, in the hot air, it brings A touch of warmth and coolness.
"However, when such a gentle wind blows on the knight, it becomes manic and violent.
too fast!
The hoofs rumble!
Since Fan Lun set off from the city, the Thorn Flower Knights have used the fastest speed under Roland's order.
Griffith, who was following the Mammoth Team, had replaced countless magic cores in his hands, just to activate the magic arrays on all the Thorn Flower armors and use magic to speed up the Mammoth Team.
As soon as a drop of sweat appeared on Griffith's forehead, it was swept away by the oncoming strong wind.
The huge wind pressure coming from the opposite direction made it difficult for Griffith to open his mouth and breathe, so he had to turn to a more mental-consuming silent method to chant magic spells.
However, Griffith has been gritting his teeth and persisting!
Because all the members of the Thorn Flower Knights are gritting their teeth and persisting!
If it weren't for all the knights of the Thorn Flower Knights riding excellent war horses carefully bred by the Kurhut family, and if Griffith hadn't been using magic to reduce the weight of the Thorn Flower armor, if it weren't for Roland Rushing to the front of the entire team
The Knights of Thorn Flower have long been dragged down by this desperate running.
Although many members, including Griffith, Britella, and Edward, the main backbone of the Knights of Thorns, areI feel that the current rapid march is a bit too harsh and difficult.
But as soon as everyone saw Roland's livid profile, all their words were suppressed and turned into the forward force in their bodies, gritting their teeth and charging forward.
This is the second day after Roland and others set out from Fanlun Dingcheng. The Mammoth Team and the War Tiger Team followed Roland.
In this almost reckless running, the Thorn Flower Knights advancing along the river actually kept pace with the Wild Wolf Team who were sailing along smoothly!
Such a result made Rudolf, who was sitting on the bow of the ship, feel chills, not to mention the three or three scouts on the border of the Louis Empire.
Such a Knights of Thorns, such a Roland, there is a sense of madness from the inside out!
A kind of madness that can destroy everything!
On the Louis border, which had long been devastated by the Knights of Thorns, no one dared to stop such a crazy Knights of Thorns.
In fact, everyone in the Louis Empire wishes that Roland would take the Knights of Thorns and leave the Louis Empire earlier and faster.
Under such circumstances, the Thorn Flower Knights set out from the city of Van Lunding and reached the border of the Louis Empire and the Edmund Empire in just two days.
At the same time, this is also the first line of defense prepared for them by Maureen, the veteran of the Edmund Empire - the iron rope to block the river!
