Chapter 18: Xia Guo joins the war

After Li Bao issued the order, he walked out of the cabin and came to the watchtower of the Apocalypse, looking at the direction of Weihai City.

"The general has an order, start attacking!" Li Bao's order followed the order, and the order flag was already spread to various warships in a blink of an eye.

Nine warships, including the Apocalypse super battleship where Li Bao and Benedict Keo were sitting, have already prepared for combat.

Nine warships lined up near the sea of ​​Weihai City, aiming starboard at Weihai City. The muzzles of each warship had long stretched out from the cabin, waiting for the moment of roaring.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom!"

After one round of shooting, there was only a pause for a moment, followed by another round of shelling.

There was no need for Li Bao to issue further orders. After two rounds of shooting, the nine warships launched a volley at the enemy.

It is called a volley, but the powerful reaction of the artillery and the materials of the warship determine that it is impossible to achieve a volley in a complete sense. It is just that each artillery fires in sequence in a short period of time.

Rows of artillery fired a roar towards the army formation of the Beihan Kingdom - nine warships, a total of 221 artillery pieces of large and small, bombarded the enemy outside Weihai City.

After seeing the excellent performance of each of his subordinate warships, Li Bao couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

Although the Xia Navy was the same as the scale of the previous year, it had not been expanded, but the existence of the Naval Academy has improved the overall combat effectiveness of today's Xia Navy by several levels.

This can be seen from the fact that it only performed two shots in the long-distance artillery shelling. This cannot be described by the words "well-trained", although there are also factors that can bombard fixed targets on land.

Changsun Sheng, who had also come to the watchtower, felt a little funny and proud when he saw Benedict Keo, who was scared by the powerful momentum of the Xia Kingdom warship firing.

Changsun Sheng went north with Benedict Keo as an envoy of Xia Kingdom. He has always accompanied Benedict Keo, who does not understand the language of Xia Kingdom. Otherwise, Xia Kingdom would not have put Benedict Keo on his own warship.

At this time, Changsun Sheng saw Benedict Keo's look of excessive fright, so he stepped forward and woke him up, pointed at the enemy troops who were suffering from artillery bombardment in the distance and asked, "Your Excellency, is the price that your country has paid worth?"

"Hmm~?" Benedict Keo was still a little unconscious when he heard Changsun Sheng's questioning, but it was just a matter of the moment.

Benedict Keo looked at the cannons that were still igniting loud noises in front of him, and was a little afraid, and he replied repeatedly: "It's worth it! It's definitely worth it!"

After seeing the powerful power of Xia Kingdom artillery, even if it is not worth it at this time, Benedict Keo had to say it was worth it!

At this time, outside Weihai City, some of the military formations near the south of the Beihan Kingdom were completely shrouded in flames and smoke. Fireballs that rose from time to time were often accompanied by some unknown objects thrown.

Because there is a Weihai City between the Xia Kingdom warship and the Beihan Kingdom's military formation, the range of artillery bombardment of Xia Kingdom warships has a certain limit.

Therefore, only a part of the military formation in the Beihan Kingdom has been attacked now, while most of the north have no problem.

The knights and soldiers on the top of Weihai City saw the enemy army outside the city being attacked by an unknown powerful attack. Even though they didn't know what kind of mysterious attack it was, they knew that they had hope, and their morale was greatly boosted and they resisted the precarious defense line for a while.

Outside Weihai City, Rivet Atwick saw his army being beaten extremely miserably, and he also knew that it was done by reinforcements from the Ice and Snow Kingdom. He could also see the power of the rumored Xia Kingdom - although it was in a way that he was very reluctant to see.

"Quick, withdraw the attacked army." Rivet Atwick came back from the sudden attacks and immediately ordered: "Send another part of the army up and speed up the attack."

When Rivet Atwick saw that only part of his military formation was hit, but most of the others were not attacked by such mysterious attacks, he wanted to attack Weihai City in one breath.

But how could the Weihai City defenders, inspired by reinforcements, let Rivet Atwick succeed? Although the defenders suffered heavy losses, they could still grit their teeth and persevere.

...

The shelling did not last long, and the officer reported to Li Baohui: "Report to General, the starboard artillery of the fleet has overheated, please give me instructions!"

When Li Bao saw the artillery that had stopped gradually, he didn't need to check it. He knew that the artillery on the starboard side of the fleet must have been emitting blue smoke and was unbearable to use, so he ordered: "Order the warships to turn around and go north and launch artillery on the north of the enemy formation with the left line of the warship artillery!"

"Abide by the order!"

"The general has an order, and the warship turns around and heads north..."

With Li Bao's order, nine large and small warships immediately turned their bows and headed towards the north of Weihai City.

Weihai City is built in a prominent part of the sea, which can basically be regarded as facing the sea in three sides. It is precisely because of its superior geographical advantages and relatively solid city defense that Weihai City can defend against the long-term attack of nearly 100,000 troops of the Beihan Kingdom with the absolute advantage of maritime power and the uninterrupted support from the rear without losing it.

If it weren't for the fact that the Beihan Kingdom had to have limited troops to launch a battlefield for oil-added battles, even if the Ice and Snow Kingdom had a maritime advantage, it would not have been long to defend with the little support from the Ice and Snow Island.

It is precisely because Li Bao knew that Weihai City had such a terrain that he would first let the warships launch artillery attacks on the enemy, rather than immediately let the Marine Brigade participate in the war as soon as it came.

Moreover, although the Marine Brigade has adapted to sailing at sea without being so turbulent like an ordinary army, four or five days of sea navigation will not have any impact.

According to Li Bao's plan, long-term artillery attacks from both north and south can already repel the enemy's attack. Even if they cannot, they will definitely seriously damage the enemy.

Just as Rivette Atwick was glad that the enemy's attack stopped, he didn't wait long to see that the military formation that had not been attacked in the north had been attacked at this time.

"Master Qibing, attack the warships from Xia Kingdom on the sea." At this time, the army of Beihan Kingdom certainly knew where the attack came from.

"Is this the powerful artillery of Xia Kingdom in the legend?" After receiving the news, Rivet Atwick recalled the information of the Xia Kingdom he heard. When he saw the tragic situation of his army in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
