The overwhelming Yongye fleet swarmed in, much faster than expected. As soon as Qianye entered the fortress with the reinforcements, the high-speed assault ships of the dark race had already arrived near the fortress.
Qianye jumped onto the fortress wall, took out the Thunderbolt, and aimed at an assault ship. However, the range of the Thunderbolt seemed limited at this time, and it was not powerful enough at long distances, so Qianye waited patiently for the assault ship to approach.
At this time, the power tower in the fortress made a sharp roar, which was the roar produced by the high-speed forced discharge of a large amount of steam. The whole power tower was shaking and was already operating at overload. In several turrets of the fortress, rapid-fire cannons and giant crossbows
They roared one after another, and ten flaming whips composed of cannonballs crisscrossed in the air, firmly guarding the sky above the fortress.
The assault ship attacked by the dark race was constantly hit by the flaming whip, and bursts of flames suddenly burst out from the ship's body. Amidst the violent explosions, large pieces of parts separated from the ship's body from time to time and flew everywhere.
Soon, two assault ships were whipped by fire whips and rolled continuously, burning and falling to the ground. They fell headfirst on the hillside, causing violent explosions. More assault ships were still flying around the fortress, looking for opportunities to attack.
.However, the fortress's anti-aircraft firepower was extremely fierce. The metal fire stream sprayed out by the rapid-fire cannon did not stop at all and was swung violently. The four giant crossbows were like calm killers, shooting out a crossbow arrow from time to time, hitting the target within the range of the rapid-fire cannon.
Assault ship outside.
These giant crossbows are extremely powerful, and they all have built-in tracking capabilities. Basically, one arrow shot can knock down an assault ship.
Seeing the crossbow boxes stacked next to the giant crossbow, Song Zining couldn't help but praise: "Zhao Clan is really generous this time! Each of these tracking giant crossbows is very expensive, and my Ningyuan Heavy Industry cannot produce them now."
Before he finished speaking, Qianye suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed him to the ground. At the same time, Qianye slapped the ground hard, causing shock waves to spread out in all directions. The soldiers within a radius of more than ten meters were shaken to the point of falling to the ground.
At this time, there was a strange sharp roar in the air, and more than ten large-caliber machine gun shells passed over everyone's heads, hitting a cloud of stone powder and loose soil on the ground, leaving a huge crater.
Song Zining looked up and saw an assault ship passing by. It actually broke through the interception of the anti-aircraft fire network and rushed over the fortress. At this moment, several machine guns on the belly of the ship were firing desperately, constantly strafing the soldiers in the fortress.
.
If Qianye hadn't moved quickly, the string of shells just now would have hit Song Zining. Although these large-caliber machine gun shells are not in the eyes of the current Seventh Young Master, they are still very painful when they hit the body, and they may still hurt.
There were minor injuries.
However, for ordinary soldiers, the power of these machine gun shells is a bit terrifying. Most of the soldiers near Qianye were knocked down by him and thus escaped the strafing shells. However, a few soldiers standing not far away were unlucky.
After being hit, a weak first-level soldier was directly hit in two by the cannonball, with blood and internal organs splattered everywhere.
Qianye had already raised the Thunderbolt, and his sights were firmly locked on a cannon protruding from the belly of the ship. However, he did not fire, but lowered the Thunderbolt weapon again.
Sure enough, a huge crossbow on the fortress turret quickly turned around, shook violently, and fired the crossbow arrow. The thick crossbow arrow drew a beautiful arc in the air and shot into the rear of the air attack ship, pushing it over.
It rolled and flew more than a hundred meters before violently exploding into a huge fireball.
At this moment, the fortress was in chaos. The new soldiers who entered the fortress encountered such a fierce battle before they could be assigned their positions.
Qianye jumped up, shouted loudly, and rushed the bewildered warriors to their fighting positions, or to take care of the wounded. Several generals were doing similar things to Qianye, including the bearded one.
.
Zhao Clan spent no expense on the configuration of the fortress's anti-aircraft firepower. The firepower density per unit area was several times higher than the most powerful fortress Qianye had ever seen. This amount of configuration is even used in a medium-sized city.
It was enough, but in the end, Zhao Clan forced him into this temporary fortress that could only accommodate a thousand people.
The dark race obviously did not expect that the firepower of the fortress would be so fierce. The assault ships suffered heavy losses for a while, and one after another crashed and burned. After more than half of the losses, the remaining assault ships finally could no longer hold up and fled the fortress.
Qianye climbed up the city wall and looked into the distance, his heart suddenly sank slightly. This fortress was located in the center of the first line of defense, and Zhang Clan's army was winding away from the valley not far away. Even though the dark army was only a few kilometers away
In addition, their marching speed has always remained stable, without acceleration or panic. The army rumbled away like a precise machine.
At this moment, the fleet of the dark race is slowly approaching. The high-speed assault ship was frustrated, and more than ten warships were separated from the fleet, flying towards the fortress. This time it was not high-speed and flexible, but the ship was narrow, and the assault was only twenty or thirty meters in front and rear.
They are large battleships with a length of more than 100 meters. By imperial standards, most of them are frigates and have two destroyers as anchors.
The fortress's anti-aircraft firepower was somewhat unable to deal with these large floating warships. The giant crossbow that seemed invincible just now took two or three hits to kill the frigate at the front.
Seeing that the battleship group was about to fly over the fortress, the Yongye Fleet detached an attack fleet and bypassed the fortress to pursue Zhang Clan's army. Now Zhang Clan's retreating troops did not have a fleet to escort them.
At this moment, an imperial fleet suddenly rushed out from the dense dark clouds in the sky. This fleet was not large in size, but they were all elite high-speed battleships. The battleships ignored the fighting at the Zhao Clan Fortress and headed straight for Yong.
The main force of the night fleet.
This Eternal Night Fleet seems to be large in scale, but in fact most of them are transport ships transporting troops and logistics supplies. Once the imperial fleet rushes into the formation, heavy losses will inevitably occur. The commander of the Eternal Night Fleet is not a simple person. On the one hand, it is divided into escorts.
Battleships attack, regardless of losses
The lost ground held back the imperial fleet. On the other hand, the squadron sent to pursue Zhang Clan's army was recalled. At the same time, the transport ships were allowed to unload the troops on the spot, and the transport ships transporting supplies retreated backwards. For a while, the large fleet was split into several parts.
, each acting independently, but in an orderly manner.
However, the Empire's incoming fleet was also an elite one. It rushed straight to the core of the Yongye Fleet, piercing the depths of the Yongye Fleet like a wedge, and then violently stirred it up. In an instant, hundreds of warships were less than a kilometer above the ground.
There was a desperate fight in the air, and the scene was chaotic. One transport ship after another caught fire because it could not escape, and some even exploded directly.
At the critical moment, all the transport ships transporting troops opened their hatches and dumped all the dark warriors loaded out like garbage, regardless of the height they were at at the moment. Some transport ships even started dumping when they were hundreds of meters above the ground.
Warrior. At this height, high-level warriors may not be killed, but low-level warriors and cannon fodder will definitely die.
"Ruthless enough!" Song Zining said.
Although the Yongye Fleet suffered heavy losses, the effect was immediate. In a short period of time, all the transport ships were emptied of their troops, and then turned around and left the battlefield. To the Imperial warships, empty transport ships were of little value, but they were not
The ground-attack gunboats, although there are dark race warriors all over the ground, don't have any good attack methods. At most, they can take the time to use their machine guns to sweep them a few times, which is better than nothing.
The imperial fleet commander was also a decisive person. He immediately gathered the fleet and, regardless of losses, forced a passage from the rear of the Evernight Fleet and quickly moved away.
This fleet decisive battle was short and brutal. Both sides lost hundreds of large and small warships in a short period of time. The rolling mountainous terrain was full of wreckage of warships with billowing smoke. This attack happened suddenly, and the Yongye Fleet
Although they suffered a moderate loss, the most important loss was that more than ten transport ships full of soldiers were blown up in the air. Tens of thousands of soldiers and cannon fodder were thrown into the sky in the explosion before they showed up.
On the ground, there were dark warriors all over the mountains and plains, and it was chaos. The final dumping of the Evernight Fleet caused wounded soldiers everywhere, and there were also many corpses. Together, the dark army lost more than 40,000 people, and the troops transported this time were equivalent to
Twenty percent was lost in direct combat.
However, most of those who were thrown to death were cannon fodder, and the senior soldiers suffered little loss, so the loss of the dark race's military strength was not as great as it seemed.
An imperial fleet left, and another fleet appeared from the clouds. However, it did not take advantage of the chaos to attack. Instead, it stared at the Yongye Fleet and kept wandering around, obviously with the intention of harassing and delaying.
, if I can take advantage of it, I wouldn’t mind taking a bite.
The Yongye Fleet was also unambiguous. The fleet commander directly separated out several small boats, circled a group of about ten thousand people from the dark army on the ground, and asked them to attack the fortress, ignoring this group of people at all.
Which organization do the soldiers belong to, and is the mix reasonable?
On the other hand, the Eternal Night Fleet mobilized all the high-speed battleships to confront the Imperial fleet from a distance. As for the other warriors, they were allowed to reorganize under the protection of the fleet. As a result, the originally chaotic battlefield was actually occupied by him.
Miraculously, I figured it out.
The imperial fleet did not launch an attack. The outer space fleet was a key area related to the entire war situation and could not be easily lost.
Looking at the swarm of dark warriors, Song Zining took a deep breath and said, "This battle is not easy to fight."
"It's already too late to regret it." Qianye said as he raised the multi-barreled machine gun next to him and suddenly opened fire.
The multi-barreled machine gun rotated rapidly, roaring and spitting out bullets, shooting at the enemy who was still a thousand meters away. Many soldiers on this defense line were startled. This firing distance was a bit too far. Although the multi-barreled machine gun
The ultimate range of the target is one thousand meters, but how do you aim at a distance of one thousand meters?
However, Qianye didn't care so much, and the machine gun in his hand never stopped roaring. However, the dark warriors in the distance fell in pieces, and the hit rate of this sweep was surprisingly high.
