Chapter 147: Fierce battle at the port

Compared with the main guns of cruisers and battleships, the main guns of this destroyer are much less powerful, so many soldiers from the Hanhai Empire successfully completed the assembly in front of Shark Castle City, and then lined up in several long lines and rushed towards the port.

Gongsun Lie was in charge of commanding the troops at the port. Seeing that the enemy had gathered so many troops to fight towards the port, he was also very anxious and constantly urged the Air Force to bomb the enemy and try his best to weaken the enemy's troops.

However, the air force was unable to escape for a while, because the Hanhai Empire also had a special air force. Although it was not as powerful as the Golden Eagle Empire, it was not weak.

The air force of the Hanhai Empire is mainly composed of two types of troops, namely the white-headed, black-winged sea eagle and the poisonous scoundrel.

Among them, the white-headed and black-winged sea eagle is the strongest. After adulthood, it usually has the strength equivalent to the seventh level of acquired life. It has a wingspan of more than five meters. Its flight speed is very fast and its claws are extremely sharp. It can easily slash the skulls of those low-level ferocious beasts by diving.

The poisonous slayer is slightly weak, and when she becomes an adult, she is usually only at the fourth level of acquired level, with a wingspan of more than two meters. However, this guy can spray an acidic venom from his mouth. Once it is contaminated, even the iron armor will be melted.

These two types of flying beasts have more than 2,000 white-headed, black-winged sea eagles, and the poisonous scoundrels have more than 8,000.

So under their entanglement, the air force could not escape for a moment, so they could only concentrate their firepower to deal with these annoying guys.

The air force of the Qinglong Empire is much shabby than the navy. The main force is still those combat airships. On top of the eight combat airships, each equipped with twelve main guns with a caliber of 100 mm, distributed on both sides of the airship. There are also thirty-two high-level dual-purpose air defense guns with a caliber of 40 mm.

Those who cooperated with them were one thousand flame fowls and more than three thousand divine fire flying crows. In fact, the divine fire flying crows under the King of Jin Crows before were more than this, but they lost a lot of brothers in the previous war with the Holy Tree King, so the only ones left in the adult divine fire flying crows now. However, these adult divine fire flying crows are all above the seventh level of acquired nature. As for the flame fowls transformed by Dr. Zhang, their strength is similar to that of the divine fire flying crows, but they have not experienced much actual combat. Today is the first time these flame fowls have faced such large-scale battles. If this thing can withstand the test of actual combat, Dr. Zhang will only manufacture it in large quantities later.

Facing the dark enemy air force, eight combat airships quickly set up a long snake formation in the air, and one main gun aimed at the enemy. As soon as the opponent entered the range, they opened fire and fired.

Although the main gun is only a small cannon with a caliber of 100 mm, and even the main gun of the destroyer is larger than that of it, the combat airship is an aircraft after all, and is not as stable as an ironclad ship. After these main guns fired in sequence, these combat airships were shocked by the huge recoil and retreated several meters.

However, the effect of this wave of attack was also good. These shells flew into the enemy formation and exploded, killing at least seven or eight enemy flying beasts in each shot.

After seeing the terrible lethality of these high-explosive bombs, the leader of the sea eagle beast and the leader of the skuo, immediately realized that it was a foolish act to let his subordinates gather together to move forward, so they ordered their subordinates to disperse. Even if these enemy artillery hit the target, they could only kill one or two flying beasts at most, and their lethality would be greatly reduced.

With this move, the air force of the Hanhai Empire quickly approached the combat airships and soon approached within two thousand meters of the other party.

At this time, the large number of small-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the combat airship also opened fire. After the enemy was dispersed, the slow-loading main guns were like cannons hitting mosquitoes. They often finally completed the reload. After one shot, even one enemy was killed. It made people feel that they had no place to use their strength. The punch that had accumulated enough strength hit the empty space.

Now these small-caliber anti-aircraft guns are different. The loading speed is much faster. As the distance is closer, the hit rate is greatly improved. With hundreds of anti-aircraft guns firing at the same time, dozens of enemy flying beasts were immediately shot down.

At the same time, the flame birds and the Divine Fire Crows that had been escorting around the airship also attacked one after another, and stepped forward to entangle the opponent to prevent the enemy's flying beasts from continuing to get close to the combat airship.

When the air forces of both sides were fighting together, the ground forces of both sides were about to collide head-on.

After a rough click, Gongsun Lie found that due to the short time, the total number of soldiers who successfully landed was only more than 20,000. Although the enemy on the opposite side had artillery fired and bombarded the artillery of the destroyer and many were killed, the ones who were killed in front of him now looked at at least more than 50,000, which was more than twice their strength.

Fortunately, before launching this expedition, Guo Dafu completed a dress change for his soldiers, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the field army soldiers. Otherwise, facing this huge gap in the military strength comparison, Gongsun Lie would not be sure to win.

"Quick! All the shield soldiers are on me, set up the defense line, and prepare to face the enemy's attack!"

Amid Gongsun Lie's roar, full-time shield soldiers, carrying thick tower shields more than three meters high, quickly came to the front and smashed the big shield against the ground. The two spikes under the shield penetrated deeply into the ground. Then the shield soldiers pressed a small mechanism on the shield. Suddenly, clamps popped up on the tower shields, connecting the shields together, making the shield wall built by the tower shields more solid and difficult to break. There were small holes on the shields, which could allow the spearmen behind to extend a spear from these small holes to assassinate the enemy. On the outside of the shield, there were sharp spikes. If the ferocious beasts dared to bump into the shields as before, they would definitely be thrust by these spikes.

Compared with the previous gun and shield soldiers, these full-time tower and shield soldiers now are obviously more professional, and have many very practical minor improvements in equipment.

After the shield soldiers erected tower shields more than three meters high and formed a solid shield wall, the spearmen followed suit. These spearmen were equipped with super long spears more than five meters long. In order to prevent the gun bar from being easily cut off when fighting ferocious beasts with fangs and sharp teeth, these spears were even made of fine steel, which was extremely heavy, and each weighed hundreds of kilograms. This was still the case where part of the inside was hollow.

The spearmen who have also been trained professionally carried heavy super spears and carefully extended the tip of the spear from the small hole in the shield, and the tail of the spear was inserted diagonally into the ground. In this way, when large-scale ferocious beasts hit the defense line, most of the power will be borne by the ground, which can make the spearmen more labor-saving and safe when fighting.

Behind the spearmen are melee troops such as sword and shield soldiers and halberd soldiers. They are more flexible and mobile than shield soldiers and spearmen. They can support the two wings of the military formation at any time, and are also responsible for dealing with high-level ferocious beasts that forcibly break through the shield wall and break into the formation.

Each of them is equipped with a demon-killing flintlock rifle, which can provide a certain degree of firepower support. Some of them are relatively powerful, and those with high arms are even longer. They are responsible for throwing out huge earth grenades and killing the enemy. They can be called human-shaped stone throwing tools.

At the end, they are naturally the archers who are the main long-range firepower output. Each of them is equipped with at least two bags of arrows, and more arrows are still being transported from the landing craft in the rear to ensure that the ammunition of these archers will not be cut off.

As soon as Gongsun Lie's formation was set up, the enemy had already rushed to less than two hundred meters away from the port. So the archers and the infantry equipped with flintlock rifles fired one after another. Suddenly, the dense rain of arrows mixed with lead bullets and hit the soldiers of the Hanhai Empire who were coming in full swing.

Because the soldiers of the Hanhai Empire had very poor armor, they were killed and injured in the face of the sharp long-range strikes of the Qinglong Empire army. Just the first round of volleys, at least more than 2,000 fell.

Faced with such heavy casualties, the morale of the human soldiers could not help but plummet, and the charge speed slowed down a lot. However, the demonized beasts inside were extremely bloodthirsty and crazy. The death of their companions could not scare them at all, but instead made them even more excited.

"Shoot the arrows and hit me hard!" In the archers line behind, Wu Daeh, who had successfully promoted to the platoon leader of the field corps, held a battle bow and kept drawing arrows, shooting arrows at the enemy, and shouting at the soldiers beside him.

Under his urging, the archers beside him also fired arrows at the fastest speed, trying to kill and injure more enemies before the enemy officially contacted their own formation.

However, some of the ferocious beasts charge too fast. Most of the archers had only time to release three rounds of arrows. These guys rushed to the front of the formation and rushed towards the shield wall. Some of them fired bone spurs and carried out long-range strikes, making the shield jingle.

Seeing that the ferocious beasts were about to hit the shield wall, the shield soldiers all used their shoulders to hold the shield tightly against the shield, ready to face the impact.

The spearmen also held their spears tightly, preparing to seize the opportunity to stab the spears and kill the ferocious beasts that collided with them.

With a muffled sound of banging, a large number of ferocious beasts hit the shield wall, most of which made them bleed their heads and their eyes were filled with stars.

Those who were eager to take this opportunity to stab the spear in their hands immediately, assassinating these ferocious beasts who were a little dizzy due to the violent impact.

And some more ferocious beasts actually jumped over the tower shield more than three meters high with their powerful jumping power and landed behind the military formation.

However, these guys are purely seeking death, because there are still many melee soldiers waiting for the rabbit behind the spearmen!

The Lone Wolf of the End Times is one of them. When he saw a long-clawed rabbit with the perfect strength of the ninth level of acquired dynasty landing in front of him, the guy finally showed his true strength. The armor on his body and the mysterious patterns on the battle axe in his hand were lit up, emitting a faint silver-white light. This is the manifestation of extraordinary equipment being blessed by the pure internal strength of the innate warrior.

In this state, the warrior's attack and defense will be greatly improved. At this time, the lone wolf in the end of the world swung out with a sudden axe. A meter-long axe light shot out, easily splitting the long-clawed rabbit in front of him, which was only half a step away from the innate realm. He became a corpse without even having time to send out a scream.
