After winning the Battle of Begovo, the First Fleet was not in a hurry to move on. Under Sigurd’s order, they salvaged all the dead sailors who fell into the water and the bodies of their dead sailors, and at the same time counted the losses in the battle.

This naval battle lasted for almost a day. Thirteen Hawke gunboats and two Falnik warships were sunk, more than 200 sailors were killed, gunpowder and artillery shells were consumed, and the Ansmara Navy was almost completely wiped out. Except for the 37 warships that were captured and a few warships that fled during the battle, all were sunk by artillery. After the war, there were more than 500 Ansmara sailors salvaged from the sea. If no accident, these more than 500 prisoners of war will become navy slaves, and only if they become naval slaves, they will not. There is a chance to escape.

…

The next day.

Governor Begovo leads the north coast, built in the continuous fortresses behind the coast, watching the sails and flags on the sea almost obscure the sky, Governor Ajit Jain of Begovo has a bitter face. Since he was asleep in the middle of the night last night, he was awakened by a panicked servant and learned of the naval defeat, he was ready to welcome the Holy Roman Expeditionary Army.

He had imagined many scenes of expeditionary forces, and he thought that there would not be too much emotional fluctuations about them, but he was wrong. At the moment when he really saw the emergence of the expeditionary forces of the Holy Roman Empire, he had mixed feelings in his heart. Shocked, fearful, and hesitated.

Ajit was a little grateful for his previous decision to build a contiguous group of fortresses behind the coastline. Without these fortresses, the Holy Roman Empire army would directly land and give the colonial army a head-on blow.

Just as Ajit was immersed in his own thinking, on the sea, Sigurd and Trond looked at the large and small fortresses behind the coastline, and there was a trace of confusion in their hearts. Considering that they would not let the army land rashly, because the defenders on the fort included the beach within the long-range range. Once the army landed, it was hit by fierce fire from the defenders. This is for the line infantry who lacked shield defense. It is fatal.

The two commanders looked at each other and discussed in a low voice. In the end, they decided to let Hawke’s gunboat bombard the fortress on the shore from the sea to attack the defenders’ defensive forces. Perhaps it was because the foundation was too soft. The Smara only built a small number of stone fortresses, and more of them were log walls made up of logs, which allowed the expeditionary force’s artillery to perform better.

Therefore, in the suspicious gaze of the defenders on the fort, the eighty-seven Hawke gunboats listed a long snake formation and turned their sideboards toward the coast. The muzzle of a black hole was pushed out of the cannon window. The defenders who had not participated in the war did not know what the tube of the black hole was. They whispered and pointed to the expeditionary warships to talk to each other.

Governor Ajit Jain knew what these round pipes were doing. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly ordered the defenders on the walls of the fortresses to take shelter. But just as he gave the order, the warships on the sea flanked one after another. A bunch of dazzling sparks bloomed, accompanied by a deafening sound like thunder on the ground. Then, countless black shells roared through the air, and under the gaze of the defending soldiers, they fell into the fortress with an unstoppable force. In the group,.

The raindrops of artillery shells dealt a devastating blow to the fortress group. Although this was only the first round of exploratory shelling, a large number of city walls were bombed and the soldiers above were buried alive under the rubble. They have never seen shelling guards. The close phalanx habitually listed by the soldiers also gave a lot of room for the artillery shells. One after another shells smashed into the crowd, plowing a **** road. As long as they are hit by the shells, regardless of whether they are wearing armor or not. Will be torn apart by a terrifying force. After the cannonball flew by, many people turned into pieces before they even screamed. People’s limbs and organs flew across the sky, and blood was flying all over the sky as if they didn’t need money.

“What kind of weapon is this.”

Looking at the fortresses that seemed to have been ravaged by the storm, Governor Ajit couldn’t help swallowing and said in a trembling tone, but no one could answer him, because the officers and soldiers around him were also shocked. After a long time, someone said in a voice full of horror: “Here, this is a divine punishment from the gods.”

As soon as his voice fell, a series of thunderous bangs rang out again on the sea. The second round of shelling came as scheduled, and meteorite-like artillery once again ravaged the messy fortresses, blasting more walls and taking more away. For the lives of the defending soldiers, the soldiers were still immersed in the shock brought about by the first round of shelling. They were indifferent to the new round of shells and died in vain.

Governor Ajit finally knew why the navy with superior strength was almost annihilated. In the face of an enemy with such sharp weapons, Ainsley had no reason to be undefeated. Naval warfare is different from land warfare, and land warfare can still be defeated. Escape, if the naval battle fails, you can only be completely buried in the vast sea.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes in pain. Although the enemy hadn’t started landing, he was still able to see the outcome of the war in advance. They were defeated in this battle and there was no possibility of a reversal.

In order to reduce the fearless loss, Ajit quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops, but he did not want the expeditionary army to take down the hard-built defense line so easily, leaving a small number of troops to continue to garrison, and he himself took The main force withdrew, and at the same time sent people to contact the nearby indigenous tribes to prepare to fight the expeditionary forces inland.

In his opinion, without the support of the navy, the army of the Holy Roman Empire would be better able to deal with it. At least his army would not have to encounter such a fierce fire threat ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Half an hour later, the shelling ended. After Tronde used a single telescope to determine that there were no active defenders after the ruins of the fortress group, he ordered the army to start landing. With his order, the transport ships began to approach the beach, and when they entered the shallow water, one after another. The boat was put down, and the boat was loaded with heavily armed line infantry and rowed to the beach, carrying one company after another as the vanguard ashore.

After landing, the soldiers did not care about the assembly. They ran towards the fortress group in ranked units, but before they could get close, a sparse rain of arrows rose from behind the gap in the city wall, shooting off the off-guard line infantry. Turning over, the rest of the people quickly dispersed and shot behind the gap while running.

Those soldiers who were shot over survived because they were still wearing a layer of chain mail. The soldiers who followed from behind quickly put away their weapons and dragged the fallen soldiers out of the dangerous area under the cover of their comrades. , Waiting for medical treatment. The soldiers who were still charging braved the sparse arrow rain to rush to the gap in the city wall and threw a few grenades into it. After the grenade exploded, they rushed in with the rising smoke.

Ten minutes later, the remaining colonial soldiers either died in battle or surrendered, and the coast was successfully taken by the expeditionary army.
