Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 18 Xia Guo joined the war

After Li Bao gave the order, he also walked out of the cabin and came to the observation deck of the Apocalypse, looking at the direction of Weihai City.

“The general has an order, start the offensive!” Li Bao’s order was transmitted to the warships in a blink of an eye with the command and the flag.

Nine warships, including the super battleship Apocalypse where Li Bao and Benedict Keogh sit, are already ready for battle.

The nine warships lined up in the coastal waters of Weihai City, aiming their starboard side at Weihai City. The muzzles of the warships had long since stretched out from the cabins, waiting for the moment of roaring.

“Boom boom boom !”

After a round of corrective shooting, there was only a pause, followed by another round of shelling.

There was no need for Li Bao to issue further orders, and the nine warships that had gone through two rounds of corrective firing unanimously launched a salvo at the enemy.

It is said to be a salvo, but the powerful reaction of the artillery and the materials of the battleship determine that it is impossible to achieve a full salvo. It is just that the artillery fires in turn in a short period of time.

Rows and rows of artillery roared towards the army formation of the Beihan Kingdom-nine battleships, a total of 221 artillery pieces of various sizes, launched a bombardment against the enemy forces outside Weihai City. .

Li Bao couldn’t help but nodded in satisfaction after seeing the excellent performance of his subordinate battleships.

Although the size of the Xia State Navy at this time was the same more years ago and has not been expanded, the presence of the Naval Academy has improved the overall combat effectiveness of today’s Xia State Navy by several levels.

This can be seen from the fact that it only carried out two corrective shots in the long-range artillery shot. This is not what can be described by the words “well-trained”, although there are also shelling fixed targets on land. The factor exists.

Chang Sun Sheng, who had also come to the observation deck not only at a time, saw Benedict Keogh, who was scared by the powerful momentum of the Xia Guo battleship fired, and felt a little amused and a little proud.

Changsun Sheng went north with Benedict Keoau as an envoy of the country of Xia. He has been accompanying Benedict Keoau who does not understand the language of the country of Xia. Otherwise, Xia Guo would not put Benedict Keoau on it. Aboard our own battleship.

At this time, Changsun Sheng saw Benedict Keo’s overwhelmed look, so he stepped forward to wake him up, pointed at the enemy army that had been bombarded by artillery in the distance, and asked: “Your Excellency, what is your country Is the price worth it?”

“Huh ?” Benedict Keogh, who heard Changsun Sheng’s question, still didn’t fully recover, but it was only an instant matter.

Benedict Keogh looked at the artillery that was still making loud noises in front of him, a little frightened, some frightened, and replied: “Value! Definitely worth!”

After seeing the powerful power of Xia Guo’s artillery, even if it was not worth it at this time, Benedict Keogh had to say it was worth it!

Outside of Weihai City at this time, a part of the army formation of the Northern Cold Kingdom near the south was completely shrouded in flames and gunpowder smoke. The fireballs that drew up from time to time were often accompanied by unidentified flying objects.

Because there is a Weihai city between the battleship of Xia State and the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom, the range of shelling of the battleship of Xia State has a certain limit.

Therefore, only the southern part of the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom was attacked, while the northern half was okay.

The knights and soldiers on the head of Weihai City saw an unknown and powerful attack on the enemy army outside the city. Even if they didn’t know what kind of mysterious attack it was, they knew they had hope, and they were immediately morale. Dazheng, withstood the precarious line of defense for a while.

Outside of Weihai City, Livet Atwick saw that his army was beaten extremely tragically. He also knew that this was done by the reinforcements of the Ice Kingdom, and he could be regarded as seeing the legendary Xia Kingdom. The power-although in a way he didn’t want to see.

“Quickly, withdraw the attacked army.” Rivet Atwick recovered from the sudden outbreak of attacks and immediately ordered: “Send another part of the army to step up the siege.”

Livet Atwick saw that only part of his army was hit in the south, but most of the others were not subjected to this mysterious attack, so he wanted to attack Weihai City in one breath.

But how could the defenders of Weihai City, encouraged by the reinforcements, let Rivet Atwick succeed? Although the defenders suffered heavy losses, they were able to grit their teeth and persevere.

…

The bombardment did not last long, and the officer reported to Li Baohui: “Tell General, the artillery on the starboard side of the fleet has overheated, please give instructions!”

Li Bao saw the artillery that came to a halt. Without checking, he knew that the artillery on the starboard side of the fleet must have been smoked and unusable at this time, so he ordered: “Order the warships to turn north and take the warships to the left. The artillery launched an artillery bombardment on the northern part of the enemy formation!”

“Yes!”

“The general has an order, the warship turns around and heads north…”

Following Li Bao’s order , the nine warships, large and small, immediately turned their bows and sailed towards the north of Weihai City.

Weihai City was built on a protruding part of Linhai. Basically, it can be regarded as a three-sided sea. It is precisely because of its superior geographical advantages and a solid city defense that Weihai City can be in the absolute advantage of the ice kingdom on the sea. The strength and uninterrupted support from the rear defended against the long-term offensive of the nearly 100,000 troops who had lived in the Northern Cold Kingdom without losing ground.

If it hadn’t been for the Northern Cold Kingdom’s each attack could only put a limited amount of troops on the battlefield to refuel, or even if the Ice and Snow Kingdom had a maritime advantage, it would not last long with the support of Ice and Snow Island.

It is precisely because Li Bao knows that Weihai City has such a terrain, he will first let the warship launch shelling on the enemy, instead of immediately letting the Marine Brigade participate in the war.

Moreover, although the Marine Brigade has adapted to sailing at sea so as not to spit upside down like an ordinary army, the four or five days of sea navigation is not without any impact.

According to Li Bao’s plan, long-term artillery bombardment in both the north and south was able to repel the enemy’s attack, and even if it couldn’t, it would definitely damage the enemy.

Just as Riviette Atwick was grateful that the enemy’s offensive had ceased, but before he was grateful, he saw that the army formation in the north that had not been attacked just now was also under attack.

“Enlighten Lord Knight to attack the warship from Xia Country on the sea.” By this time, the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom certainly knew where the attack came from.

“Is this the powerful artillery of the legendary Xia State?” After receiving the news, Livet Atwick recalled the information he had heard about Xia State. When he saw the tragedy of his army in front of him, he couldn’t help thinking. sigh.
