Chapter 583 Engagement

  The golden sun shines on the sea, and the waves shine brightly under the sunlight.

   If it weren't for the fish heads emerging from the sea, this would definitely be one of the most beautiful scenery in the ocean.

The action of the sea clan was extremely fast. On the same day after the sea king's order, several surrounding sea clan groups had launched an attack according to the sea king's order, because the harbor city was originally built in the core position of the sea clan, and all the people living around It is a large ethnic group of the sea clan, and the sea clan attacking the harbor city directly saves the time to mobilize the troops.

   These sea tribesmen launched their own attack without waiting for the elites of the royal court to converge, and a group of sea tribe warriors from Wu Yaya directly rushed to the beachhead of the harbor city.

   "Fire arrows!"

   "Fire arrows!"

   "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

   Waiting for them on the shore was the harbor city garrison, which was almost 5,000 strong. Paul had placed almost all the garrison on the beachhead to prevent the sea clan from landing near the harbor city.

   "Ah, ah"

A large number of arrows were poured into the dense queue of Sea Race warriors. It was said that the queue might have lifted these Sea Race warriors a bit. In fact, they just rushed to the beach one by one, and there was a burst of monsters under the arrows. Call.

Paul's garrison army, the backbone is the old soldiers who participated in the battle with the sea clan before, plus half of the new recruits, trained for more than two months, the combat power is roughly equivalent to the kingdom's ordinary regular army, and it is absolutely in the sequence of the northern army. It is a weak brigade, and the bow and crossbow in his hand is basically equipped with the standard equipment of the Southern Army in the past, such as the various strong crossbows and Shenwei crossbows that are equipped by the elites of the North.

With such equipment, let alone dealing with snow giants, it depends on luck whether the orc warriors can break their armor, but when they deal with sea warriors, the effect is surprisingly good. They are all different heavy armored units. The protection of the sea warriors is basically equal to nothing. The arrows fired by the garrison of the harbor city can easily pin these sea warriors to the ground.

In addition, when the Shanghai warriors attacked, they moved forward in a very dense formation. There was no possibility of these arrows being shot in the air. Soon the entire beach was dyed red with blood. It caused thousands of casualties to the sea clan.

   "Boss, these sea clans are not very good. What's the difference between them attacking like this and sending them to death."

Because Paul placed the army in a higher place, the large number of casualties caused by the bow and crossbow to the sea clan was also clearly seen by the ordinary soldiers. Some soldiers even became a little more optimistic, because killing these sea clan did not seem to be much difficult to slaughter their own animals.

It's no wonder that these recruits are optimistic. These ordinary sea warriors are really not good in terms of strength or appearance. Ordinary sea warriors are not much taller than dwarves, but their arms are thinner than humans, and they still have some advantages in the sea. It is not a big problem for ordinary people to have the courage to cut down a few sea warriors, let alone face these fully armed human soldiers.

It's just that the veterans are silent. They are not like new recruits, and their mental fluctuations are still a little big on the battlefield. They are very clear about the advantages of the sea clan. The number, the almost endless number, can make you soft. After burying you in the sea clan, the old soldier is now unwilling to waste his strength to speak. He just wants to save his physical strength as much as possible to face the endless battles that follow.

The development of the war is almost the same as that of the veterans. Although the sea clan shot down thousands of arrows, the number of sea clan soldiers on the beach did not decrease but increased, and the sea clan soldiers who followed suit directly stepped on Companion's body rushed up.

   "Fire arrows!"

   "Keep shooting arrows!"

   "Free Fire!"

   "Shoot all the arrows in your hands!"

   "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

In this case, the meaning of salvo is not too big. Anyway, arrows can cause casualties, and salvo will also affect the shooting frequency of some soldiers. Except for some strong crossbows to deal with sea guards, most The archers began to play freely, and there was no shortage of materials in the harbor city, especially the reserves of arrows. These archers pulled the bows one by one and their hands were swollen, and they might not be able to use up the arrows.

The casualties of the sea clan are increasing, but the sea clan soldiers in the front row are constantly approaching the human front. In a dense formation, the Sea Race warriors in the front row have nowhere to escape even if they are scared to death. They will only be pushed forward by the Sea Race warriors in the back row. Many Sea Race warriors are not even dead by arrows. The one under the arrow, but the one who was trampled to death by his companion directly after he fell.

"quick!"

   "Kill that Sea Guard for me!"

Although the first group of sea warriors that rushed up were used as cannon fodder, there were still some sea patrolling guards among them. These sea patrolling guards were nearly two meters tall, with big arms and round waists. It is generally no different from a strong human being, and it is particularly eye-catching among the sea warriors with an average height of 1.5 meters. If they are close to the front line, the threat caused is not known to be much greater than that of ordinary sea warriors.

Without the commanding officer's instructions, a few good shooters in the team have already aimed at the sea guards. These shooters with strong crossbows and bows did not send arrows with the big exile just now, and they were waiting for the sea guards to appear. The character is a bit like a hunter in modern warfare, trying to attack some valuable targets.

   "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

   "clang, clang"

The sea guards were quickly taken care of by a few sharp arrows, but these sea guards were obviously not that easy to kill. Unlike the unprotected Sea clan warriors, the sea guards were the backbone of the sea clan. They all hold bone shields polished from marine life corpses. The skulls of some marine creatures are not necessarily much weaker than iron shields. The bone shields produced naturally have good protection. After several blocks, they protected the vital points. The arrow did not fall, but continued to approach the human front.

"boom!"

However, when the sea patrol approached a distance of more than ten meters, a black smoke rose from the human formation, followed by a huge bombardment. The bone shield that had blocked several arrows for him was shattered, and his back There was also a large wound on the mouth of the bowl. Under this kind of injury, no matter how stubborn the life force of the sea patrol was, he would not have the strength to struggle, and he fell straight on the beach.

   "bang, bang, bang"

   Next, in the human formation, there were dense gunshots, black smoke rose from the formation, and many sea guards who broke through the arrows fell to the guns without any resistance.

   At this time, the human side has not only the thousands of garrison troops trained by Paul, but also the system soldiers produced by the harbor city. These gunshots just now came from the third-level advanced arms of the harbor force, the pirate captain.

More than 80 pirate captains stood in front of the team with an old-fashioned matchlock short gun and a machete in the other. The short guns in their hands had a short range and a slow firing frequency, but their power was definitely strong enough. The range of power, let alone these sea guards who only have simple armor, even if a knight with heavy armor comes up, he will not be able to withstand a shot from the pirate captain. If the shooting frequency is not good, these pirate captains must be level 4 or even. Tier 5 troops.

Under the attack of the pirate captain, the sea guards in the sea clan team fell down, but they still did not delay the pace of the sea clan's attack. The pirate captain took a step back and returned to the formation. The human soldiers in the front row leveled their spears. The battle has officially entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat.

"kill!"

"kill!"

   It is completely unreasonable to fight against the sea clan, because under normal circumstances, no army would be willing to use light infantry to attack a dense spear formation.

From this era, Paul's arrangement seems to be quite a perfect turtle formation, with spears and large shields on the periphery, swords and shields in the middle, mixed with some second-level soldiers and thugs of Harbour City, and the high terrain in the middle is remote. There are even several advanced combat powers like crocodile warriors in the team.

Generally, if the army wants to break such a large formation, it has to slowly drain from a distance, harassing a little bit to find flaws, how can they directly rush up like the sea clan, it is simply not fast enough to die, the formation has not been broken, and the morale of oneself It is estimated that it has to collapse first because of serious battle damage.

   However, the Hai Clan quickly proved with facts that quantitative change is enough to form qualitative change.

The sea soldiers in the front row were pushed by the back row and couldn’t stop at all. They hung directly on the spears of the human soldiers, and then skewered them one by one like a skewer of meat, until five or six sea tribes were strung on the front row. Soldiers can no longer hold their spears.

The fighting soon entered the most tragic stage. As a large number of sea warriors rushed up, stronger sea patrolmen also rushed up. Ordinary sea warriors and human soldiers did not pose much threat until their physical strength was exhausted. But these sea patrolling guards were different. As soon as the stone axe in their hands fell, the human soldiers wrapped in iron armor fell to the ground with blood from the shock of the seven holes.

However, these sea guards can't be arrogant for too long. They are either directly caught by the sea eagles in the sky or they are simply hit by a sea warlock's destruction light ball. When facing the fourth and fifth-level arms of the harbor power, they It is also not much stronger than those ordinary sea warriors like cannon fodder.

The initial stage of the battle between the two sides was still the unilateral slaughter of the sea clan by the human army. It was only occasionally that a few sea patrolmen knocked down ordinary soldiers. However, after the battle lasted for more than ten minutes, the casualties on the human side also began to increase. stand up.

The first to fall was the recruits in the garrison. Ten minutes of high-intensity combat with armor was almost the physical limit of some recruits. Basically, they were not directly killed by the sea warriors, but during a certain impact. After falling to the ground, he had no strength to stand up, and was then crushed by more than a dozen sea warriors to find a gap in the armor and killed.

Only now did the biggest gap between the veterans and the new recruits come into play. Most of the veterans who could save effort continued to fight, while the recruits started to become weaker and weaker, because the sea clan's attack continued, and there was no chance for a break at all. Here, after the battle lasted for more than half an hour, the part of the soldiers who initially fought had basically lost their combat effectiveness.

Even the second-level soldier madmen produced by the system have greatly slowed down the speed of swinging their swords, and it is only a matter of time before they completely lose their strength. These sea warriors did not defeat the human army at all, but exhausted them with their own lives. The human army on the shore was tired of killing.

   "Go to the reserve team! Quick!"

Paul hoarsely ordered to change to the reserve team. At this moment, his eyes were red. He could imagine that the Hai Clan would launch a retaliatory attack, but he did not expect the Hai Clan's offensive to come so quickly and so fiercely. The defense line he arranged actually only supported one. There were signs of being unstoppable within hours.

After the    reserve team was replaced, the front line became a little more stable, but everyone knew that according to the attack method of the sea clan, human soldiers basically had no chance to recover their physical strength, and it was only a matter of time before the endless sea clan soldiers drowned.

   "It can only be withdrawn."

After the war had progressed to this level, Paul actually realized that he had made a mistake. Stopping the sea soldiers from landing on the beach could prevent the other party from easily deploying their forces, but he couldn't bear the fact that the other party didn't take his own life as his fate, and the force could not be expanded. How about opening, how about fueling tactics, there will always be times when you are tired of killing and exhausted, even if every soldier has killed at least a dozen sea warriors at this moment, it still does not necessarily reduce the number of opponents. , causing damage as if meaningless.

   It's better to stay in the city, at least have the city wall to rely on.

   It’s just that Paul wants to leave now~lightnovelpub.net~ The sea clan may not let him go. The two sides have entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, where can they easily escape.

The long-range shooters fired two rounds of salvos to cover the retreat under Paul's advice, but they were entangled by the sea clan again before they retreated very far, and almost caused a collapse. Fortunately, Paul's ability to train and lead soldiers was good before they stabilized. The situation has become even more critical.

Paul can now see from a distance that some sea clans that are stronger than the sea guards are emerging from the beach. Those sea clans even wear better armor than humans, and they also have metal weapons in their hands. Cannon fodder is attrition. The battle is almost over, and the bloodline warriors of the sea clan will also play.

   "Boom!"

   "Boom!"

Just when the sea clan was in the dominant position, chaos suddenly appeared on the beach. A dozen or so human beings with a height of more than ten meters suddenly appeared among the sea clan. , killed a large number of sea warriors in a few feet.

   "It's so dangerous, the sea clan's movements are so fast, I went back to the north to fight to this extent."

   "So many sea clans, Sandro, it's time for you to play."
