The fleet of the Ayub Empire consists of 13 warships, which are four fourth-class ships (reconnaissance ships), two third-class ships (cruisers), six troop carriers, and one in the center of the T-shaped formation. Flagship (second-level ship, also known as battleship).

At this time, at the position of the flagship ship bridge, an old man with a turban and goatee was looking at Guyan City with a monocular.

The commander of the flagship came to him and said loudly, "Master Latib, all the naval guns are ready and ready to be launched at any time."

The old man called Latib, still observing the direction of the city, asked, "How many people are there in the defenders on the hill behind Guyan City?"

"About three hundred people."

Ratib put away his binoculars and laughed: "The gang of God’s followers will never think that we have walked behind them! Listen, what can three hundred people, three hundred people do? They are all wiped out!"

The commander reminded in a low voice: "My lord, those three hundred people occupy a pass of a mountain road. The terrain is very dangerous."

Latib glared and patted the battleship under him: "Do you think all the artillery on board are decorations? The order goes on, and I aim at the defenders on the back mountain, and hit them fiercely!"

"Follow your orders!"

The commander turned around and shouted at the flag bearer: "Target, the defensive camp on the back hill of the enemy city, adjust the ruler! Single gun calibration! One salvo!"

The flag bearer at the bow raised the five-color flag in his hand. After a series of actions, all the warships fine-tuned their course and loaded their ammunition.

After a period of silence, the loud sound of artillery fire shook the entire battlefield.

Nearly a hundred solid shells were like a storm of steel, sweeping through the mountain road behind Guyan City. The small tree with the thick mouth of the bowl was smashed by the waist, and the rock with a large millpan was broken into pieces. From a distance, the position after the cannonball attack was in a mess.

Taking advantage of the gap where the gunner was reloading, an army staff officer approached Latib and said in a low voice: "Look at this, the emperor of the empire still hasn't taken the Guyan City."

Ratib snorted coldly: "The traitor who sits on the throne with betrayal and conspiracy will surely be punished by God someday!"

The staff officer smiled and said: "My lord, your troops have eliminated seven or eight out of ten reinforcements. That man can't take this city for so many days... So, it is often rumored that Saladin is using soldiers like a **** in the country. But so."

Ratib reached out his hand to stop the staff's next words, and said: "Saladin does have some skills in warfare. This is an unquestionable fact. The reason why he has not captured the city to this day, I guess the enemy will be great. Part of the troops gathered at the front gate, blocking his progress. But this is just right, I can take the lead in attacking this city without any effort..."

The staff officer continued his words and said: "As long as you are the first to invade the city, your lord, this means that we, the old part of the Abbasid Empire, have made a great contribution. In the future, as long as we can slowly increase our influence. It is definitely not difficult to restore the Abbasid Empire, welcome back to the royal family, and regain power."

Ratib, who was touching the goat’s beard, had uncontrollable pride on his face. He yelled to the commander: "Go on and order our troops to break through the three-hundred-man defense line and attack directly into Guyan City. !"

Two hours later, the flagship commander walked up to Ratib with an anxious look, and said in a low voice: "My lord, our troops launched three assaults, all of which were repelled by the enemy..."

"What are you talking about?!" After hearing the commander's words, Latib, who was originally smug, accidentally tore off a few beards in shock.

He walked in front of the opponent and shouted: "I was beaten back?! How could I be beaten back?! Four thousand people! There are guns and cannons! Actually he will be beaten back by a group of farmers holding wooden bows and pitchforks. ?!"

Sweat leaked from the commander’s forehead: “According to the news from the battlefield, twelve knights in black armor guarded the only way to the city. Our soldiers were on the narrow mountain road and couldn’t do it. The formation and the attack pressure caused by the guns are also reduced by the complex terrain..."

"A bunch of cowards! Even the mice in the field are braver than you!" Ratib was raging and shouted, pointing to the city on the mountain: "Order all the warships, aim at the enemy on the back mountain, and give it to me Beat it hard, until they dare not show up!"

On the seventh day of the Battle of Guyan City, relative to the silent front, the roar of guns and soldiers shouting for killing on the battlefield on the back hill of Guyan City lasted for a whole day and night.

When the sun rose the next day, Ratib's army was still firmly blocked at the foot of the mountain.

Latib, who had never closed his eyes for a night, looked at the report from the front, his face flushed, and in anger, he tore up the paperwork in his hand and threw it into the sea.

"The black armored knights among the enemies have no effect on them. Lead bullets can only stop them for a while. Even the night is as bright as day in their eyes, and sharp sharpness can be drilled under their armor. Spikes can kill people in an instant..." Latib roared: "Listen to you! What these cowardly **** are saying to shirk responsibility! It's just nonsense!"

The staff and generals on the ship looked at each other, no one spoke.

Just when Ratib was furious, the sentry on the watchtower issued a warning.

"To the northeast, a small ship is rapidly approaching the fleet."

When he heard this, Ratib stopped roaring, took out his binoculars and looked at it. In his field of vision, a small black sailing boat with a strange shape appeared in his field of vision.

Ratib looked at his men and asked suspiciously, "Weird...have any of you seen that type of ship?"

Someone guessed: "Fishing boat?"

"How could the fishing boat have such a fast speed?!"

Someone also speculated: "Is it possible that it is a new type of arson ship of the enemy?"

Latib frowned and remained silent.

The sentry on the watchtower shouted again at this time: "The boat is still approaching, and the speed is getting faster and faster!"

Latib made a prompt decision and ordered: "Order the two warships at the rear of the formation to deflect and sink that ship!"

"Yes!"

The two Tier 4 ships in the T-shaped formation of the Imperial Fleet raised their anchors, raised their sails, turned their bows, and started to face the direction of the boat's attack, and flanked them left and right.

The black warship, which was similar in length to the fourth-tier ship, did not slow down at the slightest amount of speed when facing the attacking enemy ship, but broke through the wind and waves and directly greeted it.

The two Tier 4 imperial ships, at a distance of 500 meters from the black warship, with a forty-five-degree semi-rudder, were inserted diagonally forward of their respective ships. While the black warship entered the double-teaming circle, the two ships The Imperial Reconnaissance Ship opened the gun door and conducted a test gun at a distance of about 450 meters.

As the two artillery shells whizzed down, two huge water splashes splashed near the black warship.

According to the results of the test guns, the Imperial battleship adjusted its angle again. At a distance of 400 meters, ten guns on the side fired at the same time, and 20 solid shells attacked the black warship.

"Okay!" Latib, who was always observing the situation of naval battles, looked at the arc of the shells falling, and exclaimed happily, "I hit it!"

Sure enough, one of the twenty shells hit the bow of the black warship.

Unexpected sawdust flew horizontally, and there was no expected fire blasting into the sky. To everyone's expectations, the moment the artillery shell touched the "Black Ship", the crisp sound of a metal collision spread throughout the battlefield. The solid shell with a mighty force was actually bounced off by the streamlined hull!

"What...what?!"

Latib stared at this scene dumbfounded, with a few more beards in his hand. Everything that happened before him had completely exceeded his cognition.

After a brief consternation, the two Tier 4 ships ordered to meet the enemy carried out a second round of salvos at a distance of 230 meters from the black ship.

This time, two shells hit the black ship, one hit the right side of the ship, and the other hit the deck directly.

The shot that hit the ship’s side did not cause any damage and was still bounced into the sea. As for the shell that hit the deck, it caused a circular depression at the moment it hit the deck, and then it also fell into the sea. The end of the opening. Moreover, the most weird thing is that the depression on the deck seems to be alive after a few seconds, self-repairing to a smooth appearance.

At this time, the two Tier 4 ships wanted to make a third round of salvos, but the distance between them and the black ship had been shortened to 120 meters.

The side deck of the black battleship revealed two deep gaps, and six pillar-shaped objects were thrown horizontally into the sky.

After a brief period of calm ~lightnovelpub.net~ the tail of the cylinder ejected fiery flames, three to the left and three to the right, each heading towards an imperial fourth-class ship, flying swiftly across the sea.

The empire crew, who didn't know what it was, watched the six "missiles" get closer and closer. The end result was that one of the four-tier ships was hit in the belly of the ship, and the other was hit in the bow of the ship.

Boom, boom!

Two loud noises!

A "small mushroom cloud" formed by two flames and explosions appeared on the sea. The violent shock wave pushed the sea water layer upon layer and formed a small huge wave.

Even the flagship of the Empire, hundreds of meters away, was shaken in the middle and east of the sea by these two explosions.

Latib, who fell to the ground, grabbed the side of the ship in shock, and the white scarf wrapped around his head also fell to the ground.

He stared round his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and watched two of his own warships on the sea, turning into fragments and flying all over the sky. Hehe sounded from his throat, but he couldn't say a word.
