Chapter 1421

In half a year, when the empire spent a lot of manpower and material resources to renovate the road from East Samoa to Pomashan military camp, Nan'an City also successfully built the Pomashan military camp into a medium-sized fortress. The coastal area almost became the main battlefield of the second Southwest Battle initiated by the empire from the beginning. One hundred thousand troops gathered in the coastal area and the 70,000 Nan'an defenders launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle here. This time, the fully prepared imperial army not only carried complete siege equipment, but also had no worries. The imperial navy also gathered in East Samoa, and continued to have skirmishes with the Nan'an and Sikkim navy.

Huangfu Tiancheng's Tiger Guard Corps acted as the vanguard of this attack, which Huangfu Tiancheng took the initiative to request. Although he knew that the Pomashan Military Camp had become a fortress under the full construction of the Nan'an people, Huangfu Tiancheng still asked to accept this task. This was originally a feint attack, but it was a very realistic performance. Except for the corps-level officers, even the first-level officers of the division did not know that this was just a secondary battlefield, and it could even be said to be a performance venue. The real performance was far from beginning.

The Pomashan Fortress was established on the original military camp. However, after clarifying the reality that the Empire and Nan'an would eventually have a war, the Nan'an city-state also took great pains to expand the Pomashan Military Camp into a fortress form, and stationed 70,000 troops here, of which 30,000 were mercenaries from Sikkim. This shows the importance of this place.

Taking advantage of the fact that the monsoon had not completely disappeared, the Tiger Guard Army launched wave after wave of offensives under the Poma Mountain Fortress. Although Poma Mountain had become a fortress, the terrain restricted its upgraded product to never become as strong as a real fortress. At this time, the Empire's comprehensive strength advantages began to gradually emerge. A steady stream of siege equipment and long-range strike weapons were transported from the rear, from the fire dragon cannon to poison smoke cartridges, from mobile arrow towers to rushing cars, from multi-attack crossbow chariots to storm crossbow tools, a series of new tricks taken out by the Science and Technology Development Department became the test grounds of the Tiger Guard Army.

A very beautiful counterattack between the Nan'an Army and the Sikkim Army made the reputation of the Storm Crossbow. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Tiger Guard Army's defeat in the attack, the Sikkim Army and the Nan'an Army, who had always hoped to show their might, jointly launched the most sharp counterattack since the war started. Two thousand assault troops chased after the ranks, but they did not expect to be wildly blocked by the ambushed Storm Crossbow Tool group. In just three thousand crossbow tools fired 100,000 crossbow arrows in five minutes, causing the unprepared coalition forces to lose 12,000 corpses in this counterattack battle. The stormy crossbow arrows made the coalition forces that were about to rush to the crossbow attack camp finally defeated the battle. The new weapons showed their infinite power.

Just as the battle at the Fortress of Poma Mountain was still in a bloody storm under the Kuruk Fortress. The Ninth Legion and the Fourth Corps, which had been fully replenished, also launched fierce offensives against the Fortress of Kuruk under various advanced equipment. The Nan'an Alliance, supported by the Western Samoan Army, increased its troops to 80,000 here. Although it relied on sufficient troops and steep terrain, took the initiative, but the endless new weapons and tactics of the Imperial Army also made the coalition generals guarding the Fortress of Kuruk. The Fourth Legion and the Ninth Legion, who came to avenge their shame, wrote a bloody and fire battle song on the walls of the Fortress of Kuruk, with the idea of ​​avenging their past shame, with the advantages of military strength, rich attack methods and the rainbow momentum, wrote a bloody and fire battle song on the walls of the Fortress of Kuruk.

Nan'an Town has become a huge military camp, with dense camp tents covering the entire Nan'an Town. The Sikkim army that crossed the Sikkim Strait has been continuously replenished from here. Nan'an Town has become the busiest military supplies transportation site. Armed forces from different numbers from various regions gather here, and then rush to the front line according to the command of the command.

The entire route east of the Sikkim Strait has been completely suspended, but ships from the western mainland can still dock at Nan'an Port, but they need to go through strict inspections. A ship from the Adria Bay in the western continent slowly enters the port and the harbor guard has completed the inspection and issued a flag to the guard post on the dock to allow the ship to enter the port.

"I finally passed the test. I wonder if the Brinan has passed?" The stunning man who had been observing the bow of the boat still stayed on the inspection boat that was gradually moving away.

"It should be no problem. Yoz has been stormy for a long time. Although his Ranian language is a bit awkward, I see that the officials of the harbor inspection boats are not as good as him, let alone find out what they want to find out from their accent. These guys have no particularly abnormal performance. If the situation is really found out, these guys dare to be so relaxed and comfortable? I'm afraid they don't dare to ask for money if they give them money." Another man hiding in the dark responded.

"Well, I hope so." The strong man slowly withdrew his gaze until he was convinced that the inspection boat had disappeared. "It's a pity that this boat of olive oil has been made. Even though he knew it would be burned, he had to give it to the people of Nan'an."

"Hmph, as long as you can complete the task, not to mention one ship of oil, it is worth it even if you have two more ships." The man hidden in the dark seemed to stretch his body, "Let your brothers be patient and wait until the evening to get into the water and land on the shore."

"No problem, the breathing passage is very smooth. I just went to check it out and it has been here for a few days. Can't I bear it for a while?" The strong man showed a proud look on his face. "The victory and defeat are here. This is also the battle for our "Tiger Thorn" to start the first shot. Can you see this battle with a long face?"

"Well, this mission can only be successful but not failed. I heard that the Navy is also following the example of our army to form special forces. It is said that the names are all called 'Dragon Scale'. It seems that they are also compared to us. Hehe, dragons and tigers are fighting. If you want to prove yourself, it depends on your own performance. We cannot lose the reputation of our army." The man in the secret grinned his teeth, but his tone was very confident.

"Hmph, how long has their navy been formed? The Marines are all reorganized from the surrendered troops our army doesn't want, and can they still ride on our heads?" The strong man was a little disdainful.

"Don't underestimate them. The formation of the 'Dragon Scale' was not much later than us. Their naval commander is also a powerful character. They are all elites selected from the Marine Corps. Moreover, the surrendered army is mostly some hard characters in the original Tanghe Empire. It should be said that although their overall strength is definitely not as good as us, they also have strengths in some marginal sects." The man in the secret shook his head slightly and did not fully agree with his colleagues' views. "Of course they cannot be compared with us now, but if we don't work hard and make progress, it is not impossible to let the navy over us."

Seeing that the strong man was a little dissatisfied and wanted to argue, the man in the dark waved his hand and signaled: "Okay, this question is not the time to argue. It's time to do serious business. There has been a signal there."

This three-masted sailboat from the Bay of Adria entered Nan'an Port easily. No one expected that this seemingly ordinary three-masted sailboat would have any problems. From crew identity certificates to ship verification documents, from the olive oil transported by the sailboat to the cargo handover, this batch of goods was even the official order of the Nan'an City-State Government. Everything was normal. Although the East was still in a state of war, with the powerful Sikkim Navy and the guards of the Nan'an Navy, the poor fleet of the Tang people did not have the courage to break through the defense line and come here.

Manuel was always a little restless, but he could never find the reason for his restlessness. As the military commander of the Sikkim Army, his arrival naturally replaced the former commander-in-chief of the Nan'an Army as the commander-in-chief of the coalition. Nearly 200,000 troops on the entire southern front belonged to him, but he did not feel proud or excited at all. This feeling was very bad. Manuel knew this, but he could not find the reason.

Logically speaking, the current situation is not bad. Although the Tang army launched a very fierce offensive in the coastal area, judging from the reaction of the Pomashan Fortress, in addition to the Tang army's new weapons and tactics that did cause some damage to their side, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army's unit, known as the Tiger Guard Corps, was not as strong as imagined. At least in the face of the bloody and cruel city wall offensive and defensive battle, the army performed very mediocrely, especially when facing the tenacious defense of the coalition forces, they seemed to be easily discouraged.

However, the Pomashan Fortress is the throat of the coastal area. In addition, the fortress is not perfect, it is just a remodel of a military camp. I was worried that the Tang army was deliberately showing weakness, and the coalition forces paid a considerable price there, so Manuel still sent 20,000 Sikkim reinforcements to the Pomashan Fortress.

The pressure faced by the Kuruk Fortress is obviously much greater. Perhaps the Tang army realized that there was little chance of breaking through from the Pomashan Fortress, perhaps they wanted to make a big splash, or perhaps it was because the Kuruk Fortress was easier for the Tang army to exert its advantages in the endless siege equipment. In short, the Tang army launched an offensive in the Kuruk Fortress, and invested more troops than the Pomashan Fortress, but the strength of the Kuruk Fortress was not a false reputation. It was not easy for the Tang army to break the Kuruk Fortress, not to mention that it had left 30,000 reserve troops in the Kuruk Fortress.
