Chapter 177: The Vast Sea Empire Is Defeated Again

The number of heavy cavalry is so rare that the riders of these heavy cavalry are also elites selected from each army. They all have the eight or nine levels of cultivation, and are even wearing double heavy armor, with extremely strong defense. Although their mounts are only wearing one layer of armor, they also have a thick yellow scale, so they also have the same defense as double heavy armor.

Guo Dafu was not surprised to see the enemy opening the city gate and taking the initiative to attack. He had already prepared for the battle.

I saw that the shield soldiers and spearmen had already laid a solid shield wall at the front, and behind them were a large number of archers and musketeers.

At this time, the enemy troops on the opposite side were still pouring out from the city gate, and behind the heavy cavalry were more than 5,000 light cavalry.

The mounts of these light cavalry are a common type of giant chicken dragon beast. This thing has a far less powerful defense than the land-mounted giant lizard, but it is more agile and runs very fast, making it suitable for encircling and chasing enemies.

Behind the cavalry are a large number of infantry and crossbowmen. There are very few sword and shield soldiers among the infantry, most of which are spearmen. After all, the use of sword and shield is much more complicated than spears, and it is difficult to complete training in a short time. In comparison, spearmen are more easy to train.

Those crossbowmen also hold strong bows and powerful crossbows. Obviously, they know that the armor of the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire is very strong. If they do not use strong bows and powerful crossbows, it will be difficult to penetrate the opponent's strong armor.

As soon as the enemy's cavalry entered the range, the archers and musketeers on the Qinglong Empire opened fire one after another.

Among them, the heavy cavalry relied on the double-layer heavy armor, and the defense was indeed good. Arrows and bullets hit them, and most of them just splashed sparks on the armor, but they failed to penetrate their double-layer heavy armor defense.

But those light cavalry were different. As the arrow rain and bullets fell, a large number of people fell down.

The light cavalry of the Hanhai Empire also knew that their defense was not good. After all, in order to maximize the speed advantage of the light cavalry, they only wore leather armor. So they kept urging their mounts to move forward quickly. They wanted to rush forward as soon as possible and start a melee battle with the enemy.

As the distance between the two sides continued to get closer, even those heavy cavalry could hardly withstand the increasingly violent rain of arrows and bullets.

Especially the closer the bullets fired by the muskets, the greater the power. Although many heavy cavalry did not completely penetrate the armor, they also had obvious depressions on the armor. Then, if the riders on them accidentally failed to stabilize their bodies, they would be directly bombarded by the distance carried by the bullets and fell to the ground.

In such a situation where the entire army was charging and falling to the ground, it was basically no different from being dead. The mounts of comrades who were constantly rushing from behind would quickly stomp them into meat pies.

Suddenly, with a bang, several heavy cavalrymen were blown away, and even the mounts under them, those tramps with strong bodies, were blown away by the broken limbs and broken arms.

It turned out that there was a cannon on the Qinglong Empire that had been arranged, and the gunner immediately fired a shell at the rushing enemies.

However, there were only two or three artillery guns that could be arranged so quickly, and they could not form enough firepower, suppressing the enemy's charge that almost all its troops this time.

In the rain of bullets, the enemy's light cavalry troops rushed to within twenty meters of the shield wall.

The Qinglong Empire had long been ready for the bomb droppers to immediately throw grenades at these enemy cavalry.

After a continuous and violent explosion, the light cavalry were immediately blown away by corpses, and only a few cavalry were lucky enough to escape this round of explosion.

Then the surviving enemy cavalry crossed the twenty meters at the fastest speed, and leaped hard in front of the shield wall, trying to jump directly into the opposite army formation and launch a killing.

However, they had just jumped up on their mounts, and many sharp spears were stabbed out behind the shield wall, and they stabbed these lucky ones to death in an instant.

When other light cavalry saw this, they did not dare to rush to the enemy's shield wall. They spread to both sides, wanting to go around the flank to see if there is any chance of breakthrough.

As soon as the light cavalry left, the remaining more than 600 heavy cavalry rushed up. Compared to the small body of the giant chicken dragon, these land-mounted giant lizards were much larger. Even if they were not counting the long tail behind them, they were at least three meters long. They were covered with heavy armor and had a steel horn as sharp as a razor on their heads. The knights on their backs were holding heavy cavalry more than four meters long.

Faced with the impact of these big guys, the shield soldiers of the Qinglong Empire did not dare to be careless and immediately used the combined attack technique. The magic pattern on the shield lit up, and the last huge silver-white light shield appeared in front.

After the enemy heavy cavalry hit the light shield hard, the light shield was constantly vibrating, but fortunately it did not crack, and finally withstanded the opponent's first round and the most violent impact.

Once the cavalry is curbed from the momentum of this charge, its lethality will be even worse than infantry.

Although the Hanhai Empire used this army for the first time, it also understood this principle. Therefore, when the heavy cavalry saw that their charge was blocked, they immediately made their mounts turn around, trying to distance themselves and launch a new charge.

However, the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire would not give them this opportunity. They saw a pair of hooks and sickles stretching out from under the shield, hooking the limbs of the land giant lizards. Then the heavy infantrymen holding long-handled battle axe and heavy halberds slashed hard from above towards the heavy cavalry of the Hanhai Empire.

The major powers on the Oranxing side have developed various heavy cavalry, so naturally they have mature methods to deal with heavy cavalry. These beginners from the Hanhai Empire have seen this time and paid expensive tuition fees.

In less than a minute, the more than 600 cavalry were all cut and killed, leaving only a pile of incomplete corpses on the ground.

Seeing that the heavy cavalry troops that he had spent a lot of energy and financial resources were destroyed, the generals of the Hanhai Empire felt so heartbroken that they were bleeding.

However, the battle is not over at this time. If they cannot break through the enemy's defense line and destroy the artillery, they will all die later.

So they could only endure the grief in their hearts and continue to command the army to rush forward one after another.

This time, the first one to rush to the front of the formation was a group of javelin soldiers holding shields and daggers and carrying a large bag of javelins. These javelin soldiers were quite numerous in the Hanhai Empire. During naval battles, this kind of army was also very powerful. When the two warships gradually approached and were about to jump into the gang battle, these guys used their javelins to attack the enemy troops who were close to the enemy.

At such a short distance, the javelin has much stronger armor-breaking ability than the bow and arrow. It can often cause great damage to the enemy at once and greatly damage the morale of the enemy. Then they rushed forward with a shield and slashed with a short sword, and the enemy was often defeated.

Although not on the ship now, these javelin soldiers of the Hanhai Empire also threw a large amount of javelin rain towards the enemy on the opposite side as usual.

Seeing this, the shield soldiers of the Qinglong Empire hurriedly held the shield tightly. After a jingling sound, most of the javelins were blocked by the solid and thick tower shield. A small number of javelins that passed through the gaps in the shield basically did not cause any effective damage to the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire behind. After all, the armor they are wearing now is at least the most extraordinary armor of the yellow-grade level! At this level of attack, it is still impossible to break the defense.

As the saying goes, it is impolite to come but not go. The soldiers of the Qinglong Empire soon flew back to the other side with a large number of javelins and flying axes, mixed with a lot of grenades.

During the violent explosion, the javelin soldiers of the Hanhai Empire really wanted to shout that their opponents were not moral. They just threw some javelins, but the other party threw out grenades that would explode. How could they withstand this!

However, these javelin soldiers were not the worst, and the spearmen who rushed over were the worst.

Because at this time, more than a dozen original cast artillery had been pushed to the front of the formation and had loaded shotguns.

With the sound of huge cannons, large pieces of steel balls were fired out, sweeping almost all positions a hundred meters in front of the formation.

The spearmen from the Hanhai Empire had no chance to take action, and were beaten by the dense steel balls that were shot towards him, and they kept bleeding all over their bodies, and they screamed and fell to the ground.

In addition, more field artillery guns have been laid out in place, and one flowering bullet has also landed among the crossbowmen of the Hanhai Empire, blowing away large pieces of crossbowmen.

The generals of the Hanhai Empire looked at the soldiers who were blown away by artillery beside them, and they couldn't help but feel angry that His Majesty, his emperor, was too conservative. He had already imitated a batch of firearms, but did not equip them with troops, so that his side could only use cold weapons to fight against the enemy.

But this cold weapon is really unfair to the hot weapon! This scene doesn’t look like a battle, but rather like a one-sided massacre.

In fact, this is indeed similar to the massacre. After leaving the city, the 200,000 Hanhai Empire army fought fiercely with the enemy for less than half an hour, and more than half of it was lost. The corpses with tragic deaths could be seen everywhere on the ground. The soldiers who followed up would slip from time to time because of the slippery blood on the ground. Then, under the urging of the officers, they rushed up with a numb look on their faces and continued to die.

The previous battle with the Qinglong Empire made the Hanhai Empire find that the fighting will of its human soldiers was indeed a bit poor. So in order to control these soldiers so that they would not flee too quickly on the battlefield, the Hanhai Empire specially controlled the families of those soldiers in their hands this time. Once someone became a deserter, the families in the rear would be killed immediately.

So although the soldiers of the Hanhai Empire were beaten to the bottom of the morale, in order to save their lives, they could only bite the bullet and charge towards the enemy with their expressions.

Until, airships appeared above them and threw bombs from above.

After aerial bombing, the remaining enemy troops were blown into chaos, the cavalry and chariot troops of the Qinglong Empire, which had already gone around the enemy's wings, immediately launched a charge towards the enemy.

The soldiers of the Hanhai Empire, whose formation was still chaotic, had no resistance to this and were quickly cut and surrounded by the heavy cavalry and chariot troops that rushed over.

Then a large number of infantry soldiers of the Qinglong Empire rushed up and began to eat the divided and surrounded enemy troops.

An officer of the Hanhai Empire who was fainted from the bomb barely recovered from his own guards' shouts. He happened to see a group of soldiers being chased by the enemy's wild boar chariot, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a bloody corpse.

"I'm defeated again!" After uttering this sentence weakly, the officer of the Hanhai Empire, who was quite loyal to the Sea Dragon Emperor, used his remaining strength to draw out the long sword from his waist and committed suicide by drawing his sword.

Seeing this, many of the personal guards beside him committed suicide, with only a few people starting to silently restrain their companions' bodies. Then, after a team of infantry from the Qinglong Empire rushed over, they threw down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.
