Weihai Fortress was shrouded in dazzling light.
Densely packed warships surrounded it like locusts, the light spouted by the battleships, and raindrops poured on it. Not to be outdone, Weihai Fortress counterattacked, thick beams of light, clusters of sword lights, and raindrops of light crazily rushed towards the densely packed battleships.
From time to time, warships exploded, and the incandescent light that bloomed during the explosion illuminated the energy sea like the sun. When the light dimmed, orange-red fireballs, like blooming flowers, wrapped around the wreckage of the battleship.
With a shrill scream, the soldier who was covered in fire jumped out of the flames and fell into the sea of energy.
The fighting was fierce.
Goucheng Wendao's face did not fluctuate at all, he stared at the battlefield expressionlessly.
All the generals around clenched their fists, their faces turning pale. A tough battle like this is the cruelest. There is no room for manoeuvre, no room for strategic use, every inch of space can only be fought with blood and will.
No one underestimated this battle, not to mention that the opponent was Xie Yu'an, who became famous in the first battle and was famous for his defense. But no one objected to Lord Goucheng Wendao's decision. For Guangmingzhou, every bit of time was extremely precious, and they would not hesitate to pay blood for it.
Weihai Fortress is an extremely hard bone, the strongest point of the opponent's defense line, and a nightmare for all attackers. However, once they break through Weihai Fortress, the entire line of defense will collapse in an instant, and they can drive straight in and take Shangzhou directly.
From the beginning of the preparation, he didn't think about defense at all. All the preparations were for the offense. As for the casualties, he didn't care at all, and he knew that the higher-ups didn't care either.
As long as Shangzhou can be captured as quickly as possible, nothing will be a problem.
At this time when time surpasses everything else, no matter what you use to exchange time, it is a good deal.
Starting from the preparations before departure, all his plans revolved around this point. From the eyes of others, Goucheng Wendao was impulsive and crazy, but few people knew how full Goucheng Wendao's pre-war preparations were.
He carefully studied all possible offensive routes, and tried Shangzhou's possible defense and counterattack methods, and finally got a set of pre-war plans involving sixty-two scenarios.
So far, the development of the war situation has not exceeded his pre-war plan.
He is not proud, nor is he blindly confident because of this. No matter how careful the pre-battle plan is, it is impossible to fully predict the ever-changing changes on the battlefield. Once he steps on the battlefield, he will leave the battle to his crazy fighting instinct.
But this time, his preparations were not in vain.
In the deduction plan, Weihai Fortress appeared more than once. There are only a handful of fortresses in the southern region, and the strategic position of the Weihai fortress is extremely important. The combat effectiveness of Shangzhou is at a disadvantage. It is normal to take advantage of the defense of the fortress.
Guangming Continent has been infiltrating the Southern Territory for many years, secretly collecting information from all parties, and Weihai Fortress, which has an important strategic position, is naturally the top priority.
"It would be great if it was Weihai Fortress in the past." The adjutant said with emotion.
The surrounding generals nodded one after another. Before Xie Yuan took over, the defense of Weihai Fortress was slack, like an arsenal full of expensive weapons. In the report of the intelligence personnel at that time, it was concluded that even a group of pirates was enough to easily take down this luxurious fortress.
And all this changed after Xie Yuan made his inspection tour.
After losing several intelligence personnel, Guangming Zhou found out about Xie Yu'an's re-arming. In the past, everyone didn't take it seriously. No one like Xie Yu'an took it seriously.
But after they fought Xie Yu'an, the unnoticed fort renovation project immediately worried everyone.
In the hands of those who eat and wait to die, Weihai Fortress is just a big golden warehouse, but in the hands of a famous general, an arsenal rich in money and food is enough to build a terrifying fortress.
Xie Yu'an, who became famous in World War I, caught the attention of the Guangming Continent Intelligence Department, and every bit of information about him was quickly discovered. Even his homework in the academy was dug out from the pile of old papers and turned into research materials.
When the defense plans for several assignments were sent to the frontline staff, even a guy like Goucheng Wendao, who couldn't express his emotions or anger, twitched his cheeks twice.
Only then did everyone understand what kind of hedgehog the Weihai Fortress in front of them was.
Gou Cheng Wendao also nodded: "The reputation is well-deserved."
The surrounding generals looked at each other in blank dismay, they had followed Your Excellency for a long time, they knew that His Excellency was always stingy in praising the enemy, it was really rare to be praised by His Excellency.
After a while, the adjutant said with surprise: "My lord! The siege fleet is in place!"
"Start to attack." Gou Cheng Wen Dao said lightly, and Hui Wei could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Weihai Fortress is like a hedgehog with a tortoise shell, no one can attack.
"yes!"
All the generals around showed excited expressions, looking like they were waiting for a good show. This siege fleet was as slow as a tortoise, but fortunately it finally arrived. The tentative attack just now let everyone understand how hard the bones of Weihai Fortress are.
Gou Chengwen Dao's determination to fight naturally cannot be frightened away with just a few defense maps. Xie Yu'an's level is beyond doubt, but he is not without cards either.
The hole card in Gou Cheng Wendao's hand was the siege ship he carried with the army.
In the deduction before the war, Weihai Fortress caused them great trouble. How to pull out this nail was the problem he had to face, so he decided to form an army of siege ships specially used to deal with Weihai Fortress.
This army of siege ships, consisting of 22 large siege ships and 70 medium-sized siege ships, can be called the strongest siege army in history, and they are mighty. Once the siege ships with slow speed and weak defense are attacked, it will be a disaster. Gou Cheng Wendao personally escorted him, and even slowed down his progress because of it.
Now, it's time to reveal the hole card.
An astonishingly large fleet slowly sailed into the battlefield.
The large siege ships in Guangming Continent are not comparable to the small siege ships that attack the Forest Sword Fort. These large siege ships that look like floating islands are almost the nightmare of all fortresses.
Their speed is slow and their defenses are weak, but their firepower is so fierce and their range is so long that all warships are dwarfed by comparison.
Twenty-two big guys, like twenty-two giant beasts, opened their mouths wide open. No fortress could resist the siege of these twenty-two giant beasts.
When these twenty-two large siege ships slowly sailed into the battlefield, the huge battle fell silent in an instant.
Since ancient times, the battle of offense and defense has never stopped.
The defensive advantages of the fort always make it difficult for the army to advance an inch. But the fortress also has its natural enemy, that is, Siege Ship City. This kind of war weapon specially designed to deal with fortifications has super firepower and super long range.
No matter how hard the shell of the tortoise is, they can be smashed with a hammer.
In this way, the siege ship is a weapon of war against the fortress, and the large siege ship is a veritable war behemoth, and it is the nightmare of all fortresses. Even Xie Yu'an, an expert in fortification deployment, couldn't help but change his face when he saw these war monsters.
For the first time, the confidence that I persisted in was shaken.
The soldiers around him were all stunned, their faces pale.
Are you going to lose
Xie Yu'an stared blankly at these incomparably slow war beasts, his face ashen. No fortress could survive the attack of twenty-two large siege ships.
Large siege ships are war behemoths, and they are also gold-swallowing behemoths. The price of each ship is astronomical, and they are undoubtedly the most expensive combat units. Guangmingzhou took out twenty-two ships at once, and the family's wealth is so strong that there is nothing to say.
It's really hopeless.
Is my dream of a golden general coming to an end
Really, I am really too greedy, at this point, are you still not reconciled
Yes, I am not reconciled.
How difficult it is to walk this way. It’s hard to get here, it’s hard for the Swift Corps to reach the level it is today, it’s hard.
Dreams that were once out of reach appear again and again in the dreams of middle-aged people.
The vigor that had already faded, leaped out of the horizon like the sun, passing by the lifeless body of the wasted years, and the burning pain made him feel that he was alive.
The fresh blood that had been cooled for a long time began to be warm again, began to long to boil again, and began to yearn to burn again, just like when he was a teenager.
Yes, unknowingly, that's it.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Xie Yu'an's mouth, and he raised his head again, the light in his eyes pierced the haze like sunlight.
It's worth dying like this.
Not lying on a hospital bed dying and waiting for death to come.
It's not about hugging your head and crying in a dark corner, regretting that you never came.
Whose dream must come true
My war never stops.
"Ready to fight."
The gentle voice sounded from every corner of Weihai Fortress, and the bewildered soldiers raised their heads blankly.
"Everyone, please prepare to fight."
The adults' familiar voice brought them back to their senses gradually.
"The next attack will be very violent, everyone must be mentally prepared. However, we are not without a chance, six hours, as long as we persist for six hours, we have a chance to win."
The adult's voice was as calm as ever, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
But is there still a chance
Many people showed doubts. In front of such absolute strength, why would adults say there is still a chance
"Six hours, no matter what, please help me stick to it for six hours."
Xie Yu'an's voice was not impassioned, but sincere, which made people couldn't help showing that gentle figure, that figure who accompanied them in the mud, that figure who was not good at high-spirited talk, but still had a smile on his face no matter what.
The figure that brought them to this day.
Like their officers, most of the soldiers of the Swift Corps were silent. They didn't discuss or speak. They just returned to their battle positions silently and began to prepare for the next battle silently.
six hours
That's six hours.
