Chapter 575 If the enemy can go, I can go too (8000)(1/4)
God is beautiful, there are no clouds in the sky.
The Japanese pirates swarming from afar pounced like a pack of sea wolves.
They are aware of the threat from the Gulf Territory and are preparing to retake the fishing island and cut off its tentacles reaching out to the sea.
If the Cole elves had not appeared, even if they were aware of the threat, they would have absolutely no idea of joining forces to fight.
The scattered and independent pirate teams determined that the Japanese pirates were destined to be unable to work together as a rope and work in one place.
This is the current situation of Cole Elves, tailor-made for Japanese pirates.
They are dog owners. The more dogs the better, but they don’t want to see a dog king born.
Congressman Caledo's action can allow the Japanese pirates to temporarily put aside their grudges and jointly suppress and solve the Gulf Territory.
Although he is a dog, he still values his territory very much!
After receiving the news, the fishing island is in full swing preparing the battlefield.
Everyone retreated to the city or stronghold, feeling scared and worried about the coming battle.
More Gulf Territory soldiers continued to walk out of the city wall and into the forts built on the coast.
The staff who are in control of the situation take advantage of this rare opportunity to give everyone a good psychological construction lesson:
"The Japanese pirates are back. They can't stand the good life we just lived, and they are ready to turn us into slaves and lambs in captivity!"
"We must not compromise, and there is no need to be afraid. The Gulf leaders will protect us, the soldiers will protect us, and we ourselves will protect ourselves!"
"The efforts and work we put in during the battle are also to protect ourselves from being bullied. We must take our destiny into our own hands!"
"No matter who it is, no matter how many enemies there are, who dares to invade our Gulf Territory will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
The slogans echoing everywhere gradually calmed down the panicked people.
When everyone starts to think again, they reminisce about the wonderful life these days and recall the dark years before.
The original grief and anger started to burn.
People who are enlightened relatively quickly are talking to everyone while they are busy:
"Yes, we must also contribute our own strength."
"If we don't help now, when the knife is placed on our necks, no one will be able to help us."
"We didn't have a choice before, but now we must cherish it."
"Kill these Japanese pirates so you don't have to worry about them attacking."
"Escape will not solve any problems, it will only solve ourselves!"
"The Lord once said that learning to fight is to protect your territory, your family, and yourself."
"..."
With the pressure from these Japanese pirates, everyone further integrated into the Gulf Territory.
"The enemy has a total of 472 warships, 12 seven-masted warships, and 231 five-masted warships."
"There are about 95,000 Japanese pirates and about 128,000 slave warriors."
"The total number of enemy troops is 223,000!"
"We have a total of 45 warships, 12 magic warships, 33 five-masted warships, and 12,000 surface combatants."
"2 cities, 12 strongholds and fortresses, 108 defensive forts, and 45,000 ground defense troops."
"The total number of our troops is 57,000."
4:1 troop strength comparison!
Leon stared at the red dots that appeared on the magic map and listened to the combat staff's report.
He admired the staff system established by the Lord.
These senior combat staff officers who have actual combat experience, have received combat staff training, and have gone through many practices and assessments before being selected are of great help to command operations.
Facing a battle somewhere.
They can quickly come up with 2 to 3 detailed combat plans.
As long as Lyon selects the optimal solution, it can save a lot of energy.
Leon always keeps in mind the Lord's teachings to him:
"As a commander, it is your task to lead the overall situation, set goals and give instructions."
According to the goal, the staff will give a plan.
The plan is selected and implemented by lower-level combat troops.
Simple, effective and precise.
Of course, Lyon is the supreme commander who issues orders.
You can also give your own ideas and plans to them for discussion and improvement.
Now, it's time to use a war to test their true role.
It is also an opportunity to test whether Lyon can become the sole commander-in-chief of the Gulf Territory.
Matthew's "delegation of authority" is not true delegation of authority.
His and Yaya's supreme reputation in the Gulf Territory has destined the loyalty of the soldiers and the people.
As long as the formation of certain "interest groups" is curbed, Matthew can firmly control the entire territory.
The purpose of delegating power is to allow everyone to exert their subjective initiative, save Matthew some trouble and free up some time!
Matthew needs time!
The mighty pirate warships are heading towards Haicheng to the east of the fishing island.
Under the command of Congressman Caledo, they are preparing to concentrate all their strength and deliver the most deadly punch.
Caledo is confident that no one can stop the mighty trend!
When the pirate warship rushed within 1,200 meters from the beach, the 12 forts built along the coast roared crazily.
Boom!
240 shells flew out together and hit the oncoming warship.
The extremely lethal steel cannonballs instantly destroyed the small warship at the front.
This round only!
More than 30 small warships were killed and turned into wooden blocks floating on the sea.
The Japanese pirates who had no reaction at all were "thumping" in the sea in a panic, waiting for the Japanese pirates around them to save their lives.
It's a pity that other Japanese pirates have no such idea at all.
Some pirates shouted happily when they saw their enemies falling into the water.
If the "master" hadn't been here, they would have beat up the fallen dog and killed these hostile guys.
Withstanding the bombardment of artillery, hundreds of Japanese pirate warships stormed to the beach and headed straight for the dock where Haicheng was located.
Then, they were dumbfounded.
4 huge magic cement piers emerged from the sea.
A large iron chain as thick as an arm lies between the cement piers.
Blocking all ships' access to the dock.
On the top of the cement pier, each fixed muzzle faces downward.
As soon as the Japanese warships approached, they spewed out brilliant flames.
Click!
Boom!
The spinning cannonballs hit the warship hard.
The destructive power from high to low instantly penetrated the deck and bottom of the Japanese warship.
The furious Japanese warships tried to fight back, but the shells they fired could only make one or two gray-black white marks on the 10-meter-diameter cement pier.
When the sea water washed away, the white mark disappeared and remained unscathed.
After damaging eight warships, the Japanese pirates had no choice but to give up the idea of landing from the dock.
The slightly gentle beach became the landing target for subsequent Japanese pirates.
They faced fierce artillery fire, while counterattacking the fort, while putting down the infantry for landing operations on the beach.
It takes about half an hour.
The entire beach was covered with dense Japanese pirates, as well as warships destroyed by artillery.
To the surprise of the Japanese pirates, the Gulf Territory did not set any traps on the beach and allowed them to approach.
To be continued...
