After breaking through the eastern waters, Li Bao, at the suggestion of Liu Ji, immediately sent a rapid response fleet to head north into the border river and went up the river to control various key points along the river.

This fast reaction squadron is a exploration fleet led by Zhao Tao. It has a fast battleship, two cruise ships, three destroyers and three supply ships. It can handle most battles.

Calculate the time, the exploration fleet led by Zhao Tao should be about to arrive at the location of the Cross-River Bridge. There is no need for a shore exploration fleet to fight, so it is very simple to intercept the enemy across the river.

The cross-river bridge is a must-pass place for all territories in the northern border river to support the Baxter state. If the fleet wants to prevent the enemy from crossing the river, the only and quickest way is to completely destroy the cross-river bridge.

For Xia State, the river-crossing bridge built by Baxter State is not only too low, it is not wide enough, nor is it enough to be known. Even if this battle can be preserved, Xia State will be demolished and rebuilt after the war.

So there was no regret. As soon as the exploration fleet arrived at the Cross River Bridge, Zhao Tao directly ordered the bombardment of Cross River Bridge without saying a word.

After several rounds of artillery attacks, the not-so-sturdy cross-river bridge was completely destroyed. The soldiers on both sides of the bridge could only watch the exploration fleet in the middle of the border river as they could only watch the other party destroy the bridge in a few seconds.

After destroying the cross-river bridge, the castle built by the Baxter Kingdom was within the range of the exploration fleet, which made Aubrey Baxter helpless.

When Aubrey Baxter learned that a fleet belonging to Xia Kingdom appeared in the river, his first thoughts were the same as many other lords, and he couldn't believe it.

But before he could accept the reality, he heard the roar from the north of the castle. Aubrey Baxter hurried to the window and looked out, and saw the stone bridge that he hated and loved collapsed in a burst of fire.

Then, Aubrey Baxter looked not far from the lower reaches of the river, and indeed saw a towering fleet displayed in the middle of the river, with its style and body shape unprecedented.

No need to think too much about it, the fleet that could appear here must be the Xia Kingdom. Aubrey Baxter knew that Xia Kingdom had an invincible fleet a long time ago, and it was still attacking the territory on the Linhai front line some time ago.

But that was on the sea, why did he come here so quickly? Aubrey Baxtermas was puzzled. He could still have such a large warship.

Before Aubrey Baxter could come back to his senses from the scene before him, he saw the fleet in the river begin to move, as if turning around.

"Sir, be careful!" Suddenly, Aubrey Baxter was pulled over from the window by the guard behind him.

With a "boom~", a familiar loud noise seemed to explode at Aubrey Baxter's feet. The vibration caused many ornaments in his room to fall to the ground.

Aubrey Baxter woke up instantly. It turned out that it was Xia's fleet attacking his castle. This made him feel surprisingly angry and felt a sense of fear.

If the attack just now fell into his room, then how could Aubrey Baxter have his life?

Immediately afterwards, Aubrey Baxter quickly moved away from this room near the river with the support and protection of the guards.

Before he could walk out of the room, he heard loud noises after loud noises behind him, making him feel a little unsteady. If the guards hadn't supported him, he would have had some difficulty walking.

When Aubrey Baxter walked out of the castle, he came to the wide square outside the castle, and looked back at the castle behind him.

The castle slowly became broken in the loud noises and firelights, until the castle was overwhelmed and collapsed after a tremor.

Aubrey Baxter looked at the soldiers around him who surrounded him in the center and protected him, and somehow cursed at the soldiers around him: "You bunch of wastes, wastes! Let me burn the warships of Xia Kingdom for this monarch, go quickly!"

"Sir, please calm down!" At this time, the knight chief Ian Lid, who arrived, heard Aubrey Baxter's roar and persuaded: "The warships of Xia Kingdom are in the middle of the Baron River, and our soldiers cannot attack."

"Ian?" Aubrey Baxter turned to look at the person who said this. After seeing his own knight, Ian Lid, he hurriedly said: "You are here just in time. This monarch's castle is gone! It's gone!"

While saying that, Aubrey pointed at the castle that had completely turned into a ruin. He ordered to Ian: "Captain Ian, Ian, I ordered you to burn the warships of Xia Kingdom, burn it!"

When Ian saw that his monarch had completely lost his mind, he knew that no matter what he said, the other party would not listen to it, so he stopped exhorting it, but acted directly.

"Order the archers to set up formations along the river, and the target is the Xia Kingdom warships in the river." Ian shouted to the soldiers around him: "Order the troops to set up defenses along the river and beware of enemy warships docking."...

Whether it was useful or not, whether it was Aubrey's order or not, Ian himself was a little angry. His monarch and the land he guarded were invaded by the enemy in front of him. No matter what, he had to take action.

Following the orders of Knight Ian, three thousand archers lined up on both sides of the castle. Regardless of whether they were enough or not, they began to shoot arrows at the Xia Kingdom warships in Hanoi.

But the light arrows had not yet flew far, and all fell into the water. Judging from their range, they were less than one-third of their distance, let alone attacking the warships in the river.

The defensive soldiers who were ready to go could only hold the weapons in their hands and watch the warships in the river rampantly and helplessly.

Perhaps the actions of the three thousand archers angered the Xia Kingdom warships, or perhaps the enemies on the shore gave the fleet a target that could be attacked.

After the Xia Kingdom fleet in the middle of the river bombarded the conspicuous targets on the shore, it shot a round of artillery attacks on the soldiers on the shore, causing them to suffer heavy losses and had to evacuate from the shore, so they were afraid to take a step forward from a distance.

...

After the exploration fleet destroyed the mission target, they saw the enemy on the shore, and Zhao Tao ordered an attack.

After the fleet "bullyed" the Baxter soldiers on the south bank, they patroled the boundary river. As long as they saw valuable targets, whether it was a dock or a castle, Zhao Tao ordered an attack.
