A heart-pounding dense gunfire came from the opposite side.

The fallen cavalry in the front formed obstacles to the latecomers. The fallen cavalry and their horses quickly piled up a thick "wall" there. There is no better shooting target than this. The white musketeers don't need to aim at it. Just pull the trigger in that direction and can kill people and cause death.

"Back! Go back!"

Hu Gang was covered in blood. He held the horse lying on the ground with one hand and kept struggling his legs. He stood up shakingly, shouting loudly at the cavalry who were still rushing towards him. His left hand was cut off by the rushing horse without hair, but he understood his responsibilities. Even if he died, he must die worthwhile.

Framar saw Hu Gang, who looked like a bloody man through the telescope. He raised his hand and pointed it casually, and ordered the adjutant standing beside him: "That giant is quite interesting. Judging from his clothes, he probably has a status of not low, and maybe he is still a noble among the giants."

The adjutant understood and said, "Sir, do you mean... to capture him alive?"

Flamar nodded with a smile: "Holding pets also requires blood. Pure-blooded hounds are much more valuable than hybrid dogs. Haha, this has always been the case."

The "pet" of the northern giant, who did not even have a noble status in the king or the pope, felt that he should be able to return with great wealth and glory this time.

Northern giants with special identities will have seals on their left arm. Because they do not understand each other's language, the white people in the south have always not understood what the specific meaning of these different patterns of heraldry emblems have. They came to this conclusion by examining the bodies of dead giants in previous battles of Dragon Lock Pass. There are not many giants with branded on their left arm, and giants with multiple branded ones are even rare.

"Catch him!" Flamar's request was very strong.

After the close-range shelling, the musketeers began to shoot collectively. As many as tens of thousands of muskets were spectacular at the same time. Thick smoke suddenly drifted from the Viking Kingdom's position. White smoke enveloped the battlefield and slowly moved towards the west under the push of the wind, blocking the view of the tiger cavalry who was in chaos.

There were more and more corpses in front of the position, blocking the shooting world.

The halberds began to move forward, and they used the halberds to lift the heavy dead through the fort set up in advance. The white musketeers who followed closely behind also had difficulty seeing the target in the smoke, but they had the advantage of the terrain and did not need to aim. They just aim at the front of the array and pulled the trigger again and again.

"retreat!"

"Retreat!"

Hu Gang was shot in the face, and the round lead shot hit a corpse next to him, bounced over from the surface of the armor, penetrated his side skull diagonally, dragging the eyeballs and tissues from his eye sockets. At this moment, he did not care about the pain, tried to open the remaining other eye wide, holding a knife in one hand, shouting wildly, jumping up from the ground, and pounced on the groups of white halberd soldiers behind the deer fort.

He knew that this battle had been lost.

Death means death, but you must correct your mistakes before you die, buy time for the living, and have more chances of escape.

Although the white long halberds did not have an advantage in height, they were defeated by numerous numbers. They saw Hu Gang's hideous face and his determination to be fearless through the fort. Such a fierce enemy would never fight alone. Dozens of long halberds immediately gathered from different directions and aimed the sharp spear tip at Hu Gang who was about to fall from the air.

Looking at the cold forest of swords and guns below, Hu Ting smiled heartily and violently.

The feeling of the long halberd piercing into his body was no longer important to him. The numbness before death made the nerve reaction slow. He was picked up by more than a dozen long halberd hands on the tip of the gun. Hu Gang's mouth and body were covered with blood. The muscles on his face twisted. He pressed the body that was penetrated on the tip of the gun with his last breath. He held the long knife in his hand and stabbed it hard at the white man who was closest to him.

Even if you die, you have to take the damn white man on the road!

...

Eastern mainland, near the sea area.

A huge fleet was coming from the north.

The "Feith Wolf"-class warship with a displacement of more than 1,500 tons constitutes the core. Although there are only fifteen ships, the huge hull, like a mountain, will shock the viewer from any direction. This first-class battleship has extremely powerful firepower, especially the large-caliber main gun volley. The overwhelming artillery fire can destroy a nearshore city.

Thirty "Black Wolf" second-level battleships followed closely behind.

Sixty "Green Wolf"-class frigates formed the periphery of the fleet. In this special era when there were no submarines and no mines developed, the number of artillery determines the specific strength of a fleet.

Behind the fleet are as many as three hundred transport ships of different levels.

Zhengjiang stood on the bridge of the flagship and looked at the small boats rowing towards the shore through the telescope.

The surrounding sea is quiet, and the haze of winter blocks the sun. Although it is daytime, the sea water in the distance looks black and cannot feel the pleasant deep blue. The white foam surging up and down with the waves. There are no seabirds, and there are no fish. There are monotonous "swinging" sounds echoing in your ears.

Zhengjiang's expression was extremely serious. He turned his direction from time to time and looked at the "green wolf" class cruising and patrolling the sea in the south.

This sea area has crossed the Dragon Lock Pass and is located south of the Shenwei Fortress.

When Tianhao first trained Elizabeth as a spore transplant, he conceived a huge landing plan in his mind. He obtained a rough topographic map of the southern coast from Bornard and verified it from the "old madam". Elizabeth went to the Saxon Kingdom to shoulder a lot of tasks, one of which was to collect terrain information from various southern countries, including the length and direction of the coastline, and where places are suitable for becoming temporary deep-water ports.

The overall plan is just a strategic offensive direction and will be modified according to actual conditions. Tianhao's plan includes "lost the Dragon Lock Pass" and "fall". He has been working hard to speed up the process of unifying the northern part of the mainland, but he did not expect that the Holy See developed a biological weapon "No. 6" that was "picked up" from the civilization era, which completely changed the stalemate between the two sides.

The rowing boat approached the shore, and the people on the boat jumped to the shore. Looking at the signal soldiers standing on the shore holding a red flag, Zhengjiang's tense face eased slightly - this scene was very familiar to him. The previous landing battle against the Eagle tribe was actually a replica of this plan. The difference is that the scale of the last battle was relatively small. This time, there were as many as two legions of the Dragon tribe army sent from Panshi City by ship alone, with a total of 100,000 people (non-expanded numbers).

The work of the landing personnel is also not different from the last time, and they are temporary surveys of this section of the coast. Although Stewart and Elizabeth have been in close contact with pirates in the south in the past few years and have obtained detailed hydrological information in the area, Zhengjiang was not relieved. He still insisted on sending people to the water to understand the nearshore situation with the most basic naked eye visit.

At night, with the efforts of many batches of landing personnel, the simple wharf has begun to take shape.

The personnel, food, weapons and ammunition, various spare materials... were unloaded in a tense and orderly manner for three days.

There are undoubtedly too few transport ships. After they finished unloading, they immediately returned north with empty ships. The first batch of dragon warriors logged in was only 20,000. They will rely on temporary positions to defend here, waiting for reinforcements and subsequent supplies to arrive.

The reason why Tianhao firmly held the deposit south of Roaring City was, on the one hand, to attract and eliminate the terrifying "No. 6", and on the other hand, it was also to create the illusion that the northern barbarians were unable to counterattack after losing the Dragon Lock Pass, luring the Kingdom coalition forces to leave their logistics base and continue to attack northward.

The key to the victory or defeat of this battle lies in the control of the Divine Fortress.

With two standard legions, one hundred thousand men, and a powerful artillery force, Tianhao was sure to capture this fortress in a short time and completely cut off the retreat of the Kingdom coalition forces.

By then, millions of coalition forces completely lost their logistics supplies and became a surrounded alone army.

The five kingdoms will not sit idly by and ignore this situation. Including the Holy See, they will send more troops to desperately reinforce and attack the Shenwei Fortress.

Therefore, landing operations are divided into two stages: first and second stages: offensive and second stage of defense. The Dragon Clan fleet has become a crucial part of the entire battle. The sea surface war must be won, and the sea control power must control the materials, personnel replenishment, especially weapons and ammunition from the sea.

This sea area is very strange to the white people. Speaking of which, it is also because the distrust of the five kingdoms and the Holy See gave Tianhao a chance. According to the agreement between the kingdoms, hundreds of years ago: each country has independent sea areas. As for the Dragon Lock Pass, the section of the Saxon Kingdom belongs to the Saxon Kingdom. Out of fear of the northern giants and minimizing contact as much as possible to avoid "the northern giants evolved due to our advanced technology and civilization", the actual patrol line of the Saxon Navy has always been in the south.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, the reason why the main force of the Saxon Navy gathered in the southern ports of the mainland was to be vigilant against attacks from other kingdoms.

It is a friend in person, and it is an enemy when you turn around. Such stories are not uncommon in history.

On the sea, the huge fleet has been in a state of war.

There will be more ships to arrive next.

In the early morning, Zhengjiang got up early, faced the rising sun on the sea level, and knelt down devoutly.

"May the gods bless my king and win this battle!"

...

On the same morning, the Dragon Clan Army's temporary camp south of Roaring City.

Tianhao took several important officials and guards around him, put on his own armor, walked out of the north gate of the temporary camp, and saw a group of people coming from the end of the road from afar.

The Lion Clan messenger sent a letter at noon yesterday——The great Lion King will personally lead the second batch of reinforcements from Roaring City to fight side by side with the respected Dragon Clan Regent to fight against foreign enemies.

The white-headed carved secret document of the Intelligence Department came earlier than this official notice——The secret document details the number of reinforcements, materials, personnel and arms compositions of the Lion Clan, including the attitudes of the Lion King and senior members of the royal family towards the war itself.

In general, the Lion King did show enough sincerity.

A huge army came from the north.

The most numerous are light infantry. They are equipped with spears that have been verified in countless wars, regardless of efficiency, manufacturing cost, soldier operation, and use. The weapons of these soldiers also include long-handled swords and battle axes, but the body covering rate of the armor is not as high as expected, about 60%. Except for the armor in key areas such as chest, abdomen, and shoulders, the rest are made of steel, the rest are cortical.

The spear is not a weapon for heavy infantry. Some of them hold a very heavy reinforced version of the long-handled war knife. The configuration rate of the battle axe is about one-third of the total number. The full metal armor that is enough to protect the whole body shows the origin of the word "heavy infantry". Of course, there is no need to be dressed neatly when marching normally. The reason why they appeared in front of Tianhao in their battle state was obviously the instruction of the Lion King.

Momentum, status, dignity. This is something that all kings are striving to pursue.

The standard for selecting heavy shield players is extremely high. In addition to being strong and strong, what is more important is that they must have courage and perseverance to become a barrier for the entire army at critical moments. Apart from a short knife, their only equipment is the heavy tower shield. When these warriors held shields and raised steel walls in the front of the position, the muskets of the white people in the south turned into scrap iron, and only artillery can shake them.

The lion archers are very different from the eagle clan, mainly reflected in the carrying of weapons and required items. They are equipped with powerful longbows, with three wide-mouthed archers on their backs, and the number of basic arrows carried by individual soldiers is 120. In contrast, the number of fifty arrows of the eagle clan archers is less than half of them.

But no one will deny that the Eagle tribe is the best archers in the world.

The cavalry deliberately suppressed their speed and waited until several teams of troops in front of Tianhao, with a total number of about 30,000. Their protective armor is the same as those of the light infantry, and there is a thick layer of steel breastplate on the outside, with a rifle, a saber, a small crossbow... The excellent equipment makes this cavalry look even more elite, but unfortunately the number is too small. I think it is the imperial guard used by the Lion King as the imperial guards to support the scene.

Shi Rui got off the horse more than ten meters away from Tianhao, and the national wizard and dozens of civil and military ministers were accompanied by him.

The Lion King is indeed very old. His wrinkled skin, gray hair, and turbid eyes... When he walked closer, Tianhao, who had a sensitive sense of smell, smelled a unique breath from the other person.

Shi Rui strode over, and was as fast as a young man. However, Tianhao still saw that the Lion King was pretending to behave——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

This is a common problem among all kings!

Tianhao sighed silently in his heart, and walked forward with an indispensable ritual smile.
