The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 208
As the distance between the two sides gradually approached, the Soldiers on Guhong Island finally began to counterattack with bows and crossbows.

It's just that the Haiya Fleet's budget of 600 million Lingshi coins was not in vain. In order to organize the rainy battle, these landing soldiers were equipped with coir raincoats and light armor, and the heavy rain also seriously affected the power of light projectile weapons. Their bows and arrows could not even pierce the outer coir raincoats of the landing troops effectively, but the counterattack of the Haiya City landing troops with strong bows and crossbows was still very sharp, shooting the soldiers of Guhong Island in turn and turning them on their backs.

The quality of the weapons of both sides is superior!
This also fully proves that there is an essential gap between monkey version foreign trade weapons and genuine weapons, no matter which world they are in!

Just when the two sides had approached a distance of about a hundred paces, Han Fulai immediately issued an order, and the ten centurions at the forefront immediately lined up to attack the opponent's position.

He also has no idea of ​​preserving his strength. The humid environment, the deterrence of the ballista, and the repeated blows from the crossbow have already made the morale of the Lone Hong Island army extremely low.

This kind of army, whose internal organization has become seriously chaotic, is absolutely unable to resist the frontal impact of the dense formation of sea cliff mercenaries.

Nearly half of the wooden fence around the Guhong Island position was destroyed by ballistas, and the remaining wooden fortifications could not withstand the sharp blades of the soldiers of the Sea Cliff Fleet, and were quickly cleaned up.

The ability to destroy the remaining fortifications so easily is also thanks to the sharp black iron blades equipped by the vanguard of the Sea Cliff Fleet.

Black iron is a special metal that is unique to the cultivation world and contains spiritual energy inside. It can even resist the flying sword attack of a cultivator. In front of items, it can also be called a magic weapon.

Only at the cost of more than a dozen casualties, Haiya soldiers broke through the fence with the crossbow arrows from Guhong Island, and only a few unlucky ghosts fell to the ground.

Just before the two sides met each other, a horn sounded suddenly, and countless spears were erected in the front line of the sea cliff mercenaries. Long guns.

The most important thing in cold weapon warfare is the formation and formation.Both the Soldiers of Guhong Island and the Soldiers of Haiya lack systematic military training, but the daily training of seamen pays attention to orders and prohibitions. Therefore, Haiya soldiers have obvious advantages in terms of organization and can use their individual strength on the battlefield. to max.

Looking at the gleaming spear tip, a few brave Guhong Island soldiers tried to rush up and cut it off with their knives.

However, the weapons in their hands were obviously not as sharp as the soldiers of the Sea Cliff Fleet. They were often stabbed to the ground by the spears raised side by side before they could even cut off one or two spears completely.

Facing the dense gun array of Haiya soldiers, the soldiers of Guhong Island in the rear also tried to set up a gun array to organize a counterattack.

However, the spears of the Sea Cliff Chamber of Commerce, both in terms of weight and material, are stronger than those of ordinary outlying island natives, so they can make the gun body longer. The length alone is nearly one foot longer than the spears of outlying island natives, which is already on the battlefield. It is the decisive length advantage. If the spears of the two sides stab at each other, assuming that they both insist on not retreating, a foot long is enough to kill the opponent thoroughly without stabbing you.

In the confrontation in the first row, the soldiers from Guhong Island were stabbed to death on the spot by the Haiya mercenaries, as it was difficult for them to touch each other's body.

During the confrontation in the second row, the Soldiers of Guhong Island managed to do some damage to the soldiers of Haiya, but they soon collapsed. By the time of the third row, the soldiers of Guhong Island were not all armed with spears, but mixed. There are some soldiers with short melee weapons such as swords and shields. This kind of contest between short weapons and long weapons is useful on a chaotic battlefield, but when advancing in formation, if short weapons want to cause damage to the opponent, then only Throw weapons out to hit people.

As the Haiya soldiers advanced like a broken bamboo, the soldiers in the first three rows of Guhong Island were either killed or turned around and fled back.

Seeing that the battle ahead was smooth, the centurions of the Haiya mercenaries began to shout excitedly:

"The enemy is dead. Everyone line up and kill them. As long as they break through the opponent's camp, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce will reward you a lot. Our centurions in the front row will have extra rewards!"

"Boss Han said that for all the centurions that have not retreated, all members will be rewarded with 20 yuan of Lingshi coins!"

"Brothers, this is paid for by Manager Han himself!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Hearing the Haiya faction's promise of rewards for meritorious deeds, the morale of the landing troops was greatly boosted, while the morale of Guhong Island was shattered. After all, if the opponent wins, there is a huge reward, and even financial freedom can be achieved. However, he can only continue to be the lead soldier of the lord.

Although the new lord of his family has become a beautiful fairy, but beauty can neither be eaten, nor has anything to do with slave soldiers like them. Anyone who hears this difference in treatment will feel discouraged.

But the aboriginal army on outlying islands is not without merit.

The mortal warlords on the Outlying Islands have been fighting for years. Although everyone is a low-level slave owner, the high-level leaders of the Outlying Islands have accumulated rich combat experience, and the soldiers on the Guhong Island can be regarded as the elite who have been killed in the sea of ​​​​corpses.

Commander-in-chief Shi Yi saw that the front row defense of Guhong Island was about to collapse, so he quickly arranged for the guards around him to go forward and chop off the heads of several defeated soldiers, and then stood up and shouted:

"Turn around and hit them on both sides, both sides!"

If Shi Yi's strategy can be carried out, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble for the Haiya Fleet.

However, in order to give full play to the power of gunpowder, Tian Beixi deliberately chose a tidal flat with a small width to meet the Sea Cliff Fleet. The square formation of the Sea Cliff Fleet had already filled the front tightly, and there was no room for sideways detours at all.

Some Soldiers from Guhong Island tried to climb up the rock wall, but this operation was difficult even if it wasn't raining, not to mention it was still raining heavily.

Shi Yi commanded the slave soldiers under his command to rush from left to right, but he was still unable to stop the advance of Haiya soldiers.

Han Fulai stood facing the wind on the bow of the Ruicheng ship, the monster fur cloak was blown by the sea breeze, watching the mercenaries of Haiya City advancing like a tide, the commander-in-chief of the Haiya Fleet said in high spirits: "Whether it is the organization In terms of speed, combat will, salary, physical fitness, and weapons and equipment, our soldiers in Sea Cliff City have completely defeated each other. If these outlying island natives want to defeat us, they must besiege us in all directions with several times the force in the plain area. In such a small area To engage in hand-to-hand combat in the area, and to be harassed by our fleet's ballista from a distance, is undoubtedly seeking death. Everyone says that the demon girl Tian Beixi has a lot of clever tricks, and seeing her today, I feel that the name is not worthy of the name!"

Lin Muhu also nodded and agreed: "Although I don't know the art of war for ordinary people, I also feel that Tian Beixi's formation is very problematic. If the battlefield is arranged in such a small and cramped place, it will not be able to give full play to the opponent's numerical advantage. Instead, you Haiya The city's equipment advantages are brought into full play!"

Hearing the two people's crazy complaints about Tian Beixi's military skills, Yang Lu just smiled and didn't speak.

The limitations of gunpowder are very large, so it must be buried in advance. If Tian Beixi wants to exert the power of gunpowder, he can only choose such a preset battlefield. Now the heavy rain is not going to stop, and he doesn't know if her gunpowder power will be left. How much?
