Country and Beauty

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The bombardment never stopped. The battleship that had lost its rudder and sail also lost its ability to dodge. It could only passively take a beating.

At this time, following the long bombardment, the soldiers gradually lost their fear of the cannons. As long-ranged archers of the The Republic of Korea, although their longbows had a range of 300 meters, their arrows were obviously powerful, and could even penetrate heavy armor at a range of 300 meters. This kind of longbow was generally more powerful than Chinese arrows at the same time, and was not inferior to the strength of brachial arch s. The Republic of Korea's archers were also special troops within the The Republic of Korea. Their faces were painted with red, yellow, green and three colors of oil.

However, the distance between them and the Qin Army's gunboat was now between 800 steps to 1200 steps. At such a distance, even the archers would be powerless. The arrows that they shot were less than half the distance away, and when they fell into the sea, they had no effect other than increasing the amount of water they shot.

In this kind of unilateral attack, where, on one hand, they could only passively take part in the fight, the cannon shelling lasted for an hour, the ten many battleships had all lost their sails and rudders, the battleships without power systems were just like a fixed target ship, allowing the Qin Army's artillery boats to train the accurate bombardment of artillery soldiers.

Paralyzing the enemy's weapon system, making the enemy lose its strength the fastest, cutting off the weapon system that threatened them, the method of targeted clearing was called "surgical strike", which was created by the later generation of the American Air Force. This kind of surgical strike was fully utilized in the Allied aerial bombardment of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the war in Iraq. Cao Lu did not know that at this moment, he had actually created a new method of war, the Navy's surgical strike, and widely spread it in the Qin Army Navy.

Cao Lu looked at those unsinkable ships and suddenly thought of a fire. The structure of the ships was mainly made of wood, so he was afraid of fire. He immediately ordered, "Quickly switch to the cannons!"

Before the invention of the cannons, the main long-range weapon of the navy was the catapult machine. However, in the whole of the navy of the Qin Army, the catapult machine was only used as a support weapon and didn't have the opportunity to unleash its power normally.

At this time, the three Qin Army gunboats stopped their bombardment, and instead changed into catapults to throw their incendiary bombs, smoke balls, smoke canisters, and so on towards the many battleships.

All the wooden battleships were very careful with fire protection, and they also installed many fire protection facilities on the battleships. Although incendiary bombs and smoke balls were very difficult to deal fatal damage to many of the battleships, they were still enough to catch up with the soldiers on the ships. The entire battleship was filled with smoke.

Sander also calmed down at this moment. Having lost the power system, the battleships had no chance to close the distance and engage in close combat with the enemy. Their strengths and weaknesses were simply unobtainable.

Sander said angrily, "These Qin men are too despicable. They don't even dare to fight against us, the many brave warriors. They won't be able to bring out their advantage at all!"

Sander also knew that he had been tricked. If he had charged forward without caring about the loss, although he would have suffered losses, he could still make them throw their scythes and hooks onto the side of the Qin Army. Then, they could engage in close combat. Their advantage in numbers can also be fully utilized. Although there were cannons on the Qin Army's cannons, they still could not handle more people on the ship. As long as they were close to fighting, the people on the three ships of the Qin Army would not be a match for the ten ships of the ocean! Even if they didn't fight in close quarters, many battleships could still sink those small ships with a direct collision.

Sander exposed his muscular upper body to a naked man. The big fellow with a long blade on his shoulder said: "Hurry up and get the water ghost army to go down and sink those Qin Army warships. Otherwise, our entire vanguard fleet will be completely destroyed."

When the big man received the order, he immediately led the hundreds of Sea Ghost troops down the rope ladder and dived into the water. The water ghost army of this era was not the same as the water ghost army of future generations. Here, they were referring to the people who were good at swimming. They dived into the water, burrowed under the enemy's warship, and pierced through enemy ships. In fact, in the ancient naval battles, the sinking of battleships was less than a third of the total number of warships, and most of it was due to the water ghost.

The water ghost army of this era did not have any auxiliary oxygen system, nor did they have any special weapons. Their weapons were mainly short knives and small axes.

Hundreds of water ghost troops went into the sea, there were a mass of human heads on the sea surface. They did not have an auxiliary oxygen system, so no matter how good the water was, it was impossible for them to breathe underwater like the fish or shrimp. They still had to get out of the water to breathe, so it was impossible for them to do anything. Unless it is night time or very low visibility, it is important not to be discovered.

At this time, the weather was sunny, the sky was bright and clear, many water ghost troops were discovered by the Qin Army before they could even get within 5 m of the battleship.

"General!" The Sea Ghosts of the Navy are out! "

When Cao Lu heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems like they have no other choice. They want to dig the boat, but they don't even have the door. Send my order: all crossbow men prepare to enter the range. Let our water ghost troops be ready, if the crossbow arrows fail to intercept, I want them to ensure that all the water ghost enemies are not more than 100 steps away from us. "

The Republic of Korea's water ghost diving ability was not bad, their speed was very fast, they gradually entered the three hundred step area of the Qin Army's battleship. Suddenly, the water ghost who had just come out for a breather felt the sky darken as arrows that blotted the sky rained down like a torrential downpour.

The terrified kaiju dived into the water in a hurry, but though they dived fast, it was still much slower than the arrows that were flying towards them. Miserable screams rang out as the blood gradually dyed the surrounding surface of the sea red.

The Qin Army's Crossbow Array had always been one of the Qin Army's trump cards. Let alone in the water, even on the land, under this kind of close to destruction, the chances of survival were rather slim.

On the sea surface, the The Republic of Korea's Sea Ghost Army and the Qin Army's Navy were fighting each other intensely. However, it was the same as battling a ship, it was also a one-sided massacre.

Just then, a Qin soldiers shouted from the boat: "Put down your weapon, surrender and don't kill! Put down your weapons, surrender and don't kill! "

Unfortunately, because they could not communicate with each other, no one paid attention to the Qin Army's psychological warfare. These water ghosts desperately swam forward. They continued to dive downwards, using the water's resistance to avoid the incoming arrow.

Even if they could understand it, so what? Those fanatical Buddhism poisoned the minds of many soldiers, and did not cower at all. In the army of the The Republic of Korea, almost all of them were Buddhist followers. In their minds, they had fought alongside the Empire, conquering other places. This was without merit, and it was a way to promote buddhism.

In this fanatical faith, they were also very crazy. They believed in Buddhism, but the Qin State did so because they believed in the Mythical Dragon Church. As the descendants of dragons, they could only die standing, they could not live kneeling, and in the face of aggression, they had to use their blood and lives to protect the dignity of the Dragon God.

The battle on the surface was fierce, but the battle under the water was also incomparably fierce. Although Xie Fei was a transcender, he wasn't omnipotent. At this point in time, he was unable to produce an oxygen bottle, and he was also unable to separate the oxygen inside. Thus, the water ghost army and the water ghost army were basically in the same position. They did not have the advantage of being artillery, but they had the advantage of science and technology.

Just at this moment, the Qin Army's gunboat released its angry fire at the enemy ship. A unlucky ship with many battleships got hit by balls of fire, and along with a violent explosion, the entire battleship broke into two pieces from the middle, and water poured into the belly of the ship. The bow and stern of the boat were raised high, and some sailors who had been lucky enough to survive the explosion jumped out of the boat with a scream.

The battle seemed to have stopped at that moment. Everyone looked at the huge ship that was over two hundred and fifty feet long and three stories tall. It sank inch by inch into the sea amidst the explosion, surrounded by thick smoke and raging flames. Finally, someone exclaimed.

It turned out that this unlucky battleship had been hit by more than ten artillery shells at almost the same time, and the series of artillery shells directly exploded the seven layers of watertight chambers below the deck. He also didn't know why the fifteen cannons of the three battleships would simultaneously fire at him.

At this moment, the airship that was acting as a lookout in the sky suddenly transmitted a signal. A large number of unknown fleets appeared in the south, and the shadow of the sails covered the sky; it was hard to tell how many battleships there were. According to conservative estimates, there are more than a thousand ships.

This was the Toowoomba's main fleet. They had close to two thousand large and small warships, and their manpower was over one hundred thousand. The Aksoschini was the biggest military force in the entire The Republic of Korea, like the army of the Qin State, which had one hundred thousand horses, fifty thousand cavalry, and fifty thousand infantry.

On the other hand, The Republic of Korea was a complicated, comprehensive unit. They had 6561 battle elephant s, and on these battle elephant s, there were usually a slave owner and two soldiers, and a longbow wielder and a lance wielder. There were a total of 19,683 elephant soldier s and the same number of chariot soldiers as battle elephant. It consisted of 19,683 cavalry units, 32,805 infantry units, as well as communications and transport units. The entire Aksoschini had almost 100,000 troops. The military composition of the The Republic of Korea was not a three-way system, but a decimal system. One Aksoschini had ten Lipta, which was similar to the strategic-level units of the future, one Pritchard had ten Sina, one Sai Na had five hundred battle elephant and one Chariots five hundred.

Although the water army would not have a large number of elephant soldier and cavalry, they still had their own cavalry units and specialized transport ships. According to these historical data, the The Republic of Korea had almost the most powerful military force in the world, but why didn't they build a super empire like Alexander, which spanned across Eurasia and Europe? He was still a mystery.

He only had three small gunboats at the moment, which was a surprise for them when they encountered Sander's fleet. But now, it would be too wishful thinking to fight against such a huge force.

Cao Lu quickly analyzed the disparity in strength and immediately ordered, "Disengage and retreat from the battle!"

At this time, Sander saw that the Qin Army was withdrawing from the battle at the most crucial moment. He revealed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Our main forces have come, but we can only watch as the enemy escapes!"

Sander didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He could not believe his eyes when he saw the tragic sight in front of him. Nine ships of the first class of The Republic of Korea, almost five thousand men, were almost annihilated, and the Qin Army Navy was actually so powerful?

He was confused, according to the information he received from Founan State, the size of Qin Army's navy should not be that big, what exactly is going on?
