Chapter 1679, landing operations
It is already obvious that the menacing dwarf fleet is a bait.
According to Chris Evans's character, it is impossible to be defenseless against them. Under this premise, charging head-on is obviously not a good choice.
In this way, one of the two of them needs to send his own fleet out as bait. This is necessary.
After considering all aspects of the situation, the task of attracting the enemy's attention was handed over to the dwarf fleets of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
The reason for this is naturally because the dwarf fleets of the Tang and Song dynasties had sufficient hard power. Even if something unexpected happened and they were besieged by a powerful enemy, they could still use their hard power to deal with the opponent.
In comparison, Hua Ye, whose naval combat strength is relatively average, is a bit vulnerable. If he is allowed to attract the enemy, he will easily collapse.
On the other hand, the reason is that the dwarf fleets of the Tang and Song Dynasties had an obvious flaw, that is, the warships were too slow!
The dwarf fleet of the Tang and Song dynasties was a typical large ship equipped with huge guns. The tonnage itself was extremely heavy. Coupled with the ultra-high density of powerful armor plates, the tonnage of the warships was further increased.
In this state, it is almost inevitable to sacrifice part of the battleship's sailing speed.
As the attacking party, they need to rush straight to the port as quickly as possible and complete the landing operation at lightning speed. The dwarf fleet, which has short speed, is obviously not suitable.
Therefore, combined with the above reasons, the arrangement was made that Hua Ye was responsible for attacking the port, and Tang and Song were responsible for attracting the enemy's ideas and diverting the garrisoned fleet.
Taking advantage of the dwarf fleet's success in attracting the opponent's attention, Hua Ye's fleet launched an attack on Chris Evans' port city without hesitation.
During this period, several black-sailed warships responsible for patrolling the surrounding waters undoubtedly discovered their presence.
However, in the current situation, most of the warships have been lured away by the dwarf fleet. Although Hua Ye's naval combat strength is average, it would be too much to stop his fleet with just a few black-sailed warships for patrol?
I look down on people a little bit.
There is no need to be cowardly at all, just hit him head-on.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the Steel Fleet, which has a steady advantage, has no possibility of losing.
After sinking those few black-sailed battleships, the steel fleet spread out its artillery formation and rushed straight to the port.
In the port area, the garrison troops who received the warning signal had already pushed the predator ballista and set up a defensive formation, trying to forcefully repel Hua Ye's fleet.
But faced with the powerful naval gun fire from the sea, it is obviously difficult for the defensive forces in the port area to take advantage.
Under the continuous fire sweep, the garrison was violently defeated, and the steel warships came to the shore one after another, and launched the landing operation.
During this period, three large-scale landing ships attracted a lot of people's attention.
After arriving at the port area and being forcibly captured by Hua Ye's troops, the three large landing ships slowly appeared.
After landing, there was a muffled sound of "bang bang bang bang".
Huge metal plates one after another built a temporary metal bridge directly between the large landing ship and the port area.
The next second, with a burst of roaring sounds, steel monsters slowly appeared and rushed directly to the port area along the metal bridge that was erected.
Their bodies are covered with thick armor plates, and their crawler-type wheels rotate at high speed, pushing this steel monster forward that is definitely not light at first sight.
At the same time, the heavy body also carries a long barrel, and the dark muzzle still exudes an icy cold glow even under the scorching sunlight.
In modern times, people generally call this war weapon a tank!
And here, I have to mention that the tanks on these three large landing ships are not Hua Ye's troops, but are supported by the Tang and Song Dynasties, and are their dwarf tank troops!
After all, judging from the current stage, only the dwarf civilization with super talents in the field of thermal weapons can produce weapons of this level!
For the Dark Elf garrison, which is currently not equipped with anti-tank weapons, the appearance of tanks will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to them.
With the tanks as the vanguard, Hua Ye's army rushed straight into the city.
Unlike those elven cities that coexist with nature, the dark elven cities really lack vegetation. Instead, they have a feeling of a medieval city. They are built with stone houses and paved with bluestone floor tiles. It is really difficult for people to distinguish what they see in front of them.
This city is associated with the elves.
The population in the city is very small. It can be seen from this that Chris Evans has undoubtedly made preparations long ago.
In this port city, the population that can be evacuated should have been evacuated long ago, otherwise, such a big city cannot have so few people.
But it doesn't matter, the population of the elves is basically useless to them. What Tang Song and Hua Ye need is a frontline stronghold, and now, their goal has been achieved.
After controlling all the limited dark elves and completely occupying an entire port city, Hua Ye quickly sent a message to Tang and Song Dynasties.
"The plan is going very smoothly and the port city has been occupied."
After receiving this news, Tang Song was obviously refreshed, and then he quickly replied...
"Then quickly ask your fleet to come over and help. I need to deal with the fishmen force and the black sail fleet at the same time, but it's very tiring!"
With the gathering of troops on the opposite side of the sea, even the dwarf fleets of the Tang and Song Dynasties were having a hard time fighting. In the current situation, he could only deal with the opponent.
If Hua Ye's fleet can arrive in time, it will undoubtedly help him relieve a lot of pressure.
Hua Ye was also unambiguous about this. After signaling all the army troops to complete the landing, he asked his fleet to rush to support the Tang and Song Dynasties.
I'm afraid this battle on the sea has been fought for some time.
Although the troops sent by Pompeii Rand are limited, and Chris Evans's Black Sails Fleet is not fully capable, these two guys are typical tough bones in the field of naval warfare. If you want to bite them, you can't.
Not that easy.
In this way, Hua Ye directly handed over the full responsibility for the battle at sea to Tang Song and his admirals, while he himself began to busy building a maritime supply line.
For an army on an expedition, ensuring supplies is a top priority.
Unless your army can live without food or water, no matter how strong your army is, if there is a problem with its logistics, it will inevitably end in defeat.
