Seven hundred and ninety-eighth time will prove everything
"What!"
Bai Yue jumped up, as if he was frightened. He quickly shook his head: "Twenty-two large siege ships? Impossible! How can Guangmingzhou have so many large siege ships! Twenty-two, don't
Are you kidding me, are there twenty-two large siege ships in the entire sanctuary?"
If it weren't for General Pang Ruo standing in front of him, he would have kicked him out.
Guan Jin on the side also showed suspicion, this news was too shocking.
The large siege ship is one of the top combat units in the sanctuary. Among siege equipment, it is the undisputed king. The large siege ship is extremely large and is also the largest warship, just like a mobile fortress.
.
The astonishingly huge volume requires an even more astonishing amount of precious materials, which is one of the reasons why it is so expensive. Another reason is that it is extremely difficult to produce, which is also at the top level.
Large siege ships aimed at fortresses require the use of a lot of top-notch technologies. There are many weapons dealers in the Sanctuary, but there are only three companies capable of making large siege ships. People like Xu Ji are already famous in the Southern Territory.
Weapons dealer, but unable to produce it.
Only the top weapons dealers with strong financial resources and strong technology can produce large siege ships.
But even so, making a large siege ship is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It takes up to three years, which is daunting. Bai Yue and Guan Jin have never heard of more than ten large siege ships at the same time.
Appearing, they suddenly heard a fleet of twenty-two large siege ships. How could they believe it?
There was no hint of joking on Pang Ruo's face: "I have confirmed it repeatedly."
The old general's face was solemn. When he saw the news, his first reaction was disbelief. It was only after repeated confirmations that he realized that this ridiculous news was true, and his heart sank to the bottom.
There were twenty-two large siege ships, the largest and most luxurious siege fleet in history. The old general couldn't help but feel dazed for a while. The unprecedented scale of war beasts gathered together. The scene must have been extremely spectacular.
However, these war beasts belonged to the other side of the battlefield, and the old general shuddered.
Any fortress is as fragile as paper in front of this unprecedented siege fleet. There is no line of defense that can stop these war beasts. On the frontal battlefield, they lose the advantage of defense.
This is absolutely terrible news for the Southern Territory.
During the battle with Qiu Xuhua, Pang Ruo had an intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Guangmingzhou Corps. If it had not been for Bai Yue's surprise attack, the coalition's failure would have been doomed. In the home battle, the Southern Region Corps did not lack the will to fight, and had always been wealthy.
The Southern Territory is also not inferior in terms of equipment, but the quality of the soldiers and the level of the non-commissioned officers on both sides are not at the same level.
Guangmingzhou has been engaged in the cannibalization strategy for many years. There have been no major battles, but small battles have never been interrupted. Each of the corps in Guangmingzhou has sufficient actual combat experience. Most of the Southern Territory corps are just decorations. It is a rare combat experience to suppress pirates.
Many corps have never seen actual combat since their formation.
Guangmingzhou has a unified command. Once a decision is made, everyone is united and resolute. Although he is nominally the commander-in-chief of the coalition, there are many factions under him, and the relationships are complicated. Things that go against each other often happen.
None of this made the veteran general lose confidence in the situation, because they were fighting at home, with defensive advantages and sufficient depth. Although they would pay huge casualties, as long as they could drag the enemy into a stalemate, the final victory would definitely belong to them.
However, the appearance of these war beasts instantly shattered his confidence.
The slow-moving war beasts can easily crush all defense lines. Without the advantage of defense, Guangmingzhou's army will march straight in. By then, the situation will be irreversible.
Bai Yue opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out, and there was no color on his face. The face of Guan Jin beside him was also as white as paper.
Pang Ruo sighed in his heart, without any intention of ridicule. When he first received the news, his performance was not as good as the two. However, after all, he is a veteran with rich combat experience. Even in desperate situations, he will not despair.
"The SAARC defense line will soon fall, and Shangzhou cannot be defended." The old general said solemnly: "After seizing Shangzhou, with the benefit of black gold, our situation will be even worse. We must find a way to destroy these large-scale offensives."
The city ship, no matter how many casualties it takes, otherwise..."
He didn't say the rest, and didn't need to say it.
Guan Jin bit her lip tightly until it turned white: "It's difficult. Goucheng Wendao will definitely protect these large siege ships with all his strength."
"It is difficult." The old general nodded calmly: "But no matter how difficult it is, we still need to destroy them. The Weihai Fortress will definitely not be able to defend it, including the SAARC defense line, and it will definitely be destroyed. If Guangmingzhou really intends to seize Shang
Asia, we may not have a chance.”
Guan Jin looked at the old general with confusion.
Pang Ruo glanced at Bai Yue, who was in despair, and continued: "The strength of the Southern Alliance is actually stronger than I thought. Weihai Fortress cannot stop Goucheng Wen Dao's footsteps, so they have no choice but to retreat until Shangzhou. Shangzhou's
The entrance to the sea is very small, and large siege ships cannot enter, not even medium-sized siege ships. For SAARC, their only chance is to set up the battlefield in Shangzhou. If Guangmingzhou really wants to seize Shangzhou,
Gouchengwendao must invest troops into Shangzhou. At that time, the defense of large siege ships is also the weakest. For us, this is the only chance."
Guan Jin immediately understood that the old general was preparing to use SAARC as bait. But he had to admit that this was an excellent plan and the only one that could be realized at present.
"Time is urgent. I hope your regiment will set off now. We will launch an offensive against Qiu Xuhua and cover your evacuation." The old general said solemnly.
Guan Jin looked at Bai Yue. In the entire southern region, the only ones who could complete this task were the White Crow Corps and the Holy Tower Corps. However, the coalition forces needed veteran generals to guard them, so this task could only fall on them.
Bai Yue suddenly raised his head, unexpectedly, and shook his head: "The situation may not be that bad."
Pang Ruo frowned imperceptibly. He didn't expect that at this point, Bai Yue would still be lucky. He was a little surprised. Fighting side by side with Bai Yue these days, he gradually understood Bai Yue. He was not a person who lacked decisiveness and indecisiveness.
general.
But now is the most urgent time.
Twenty-two large siege ships are crushing them all the way, and they are unstoppable. If it were not for their extremely slow speed, they would not even have this only chance. Even so, they must evacuate from now and go at full speed all the way.
Theoretical opportunity. A little delay and the theoretical time will disappear.
Bai Yue is an outstanding general, and such low-level mistakes should not happen to him.
He was waiting for Bai Yue's explanation.
Guan Jin is also waiting for the Lord's explanation. In his opinion, this is the only chance. He doesn't understand why the Lord hesitates on such a critical issue.
"The situation won't be that bad." Bai Yue repeated what he just said, organizing his thoughts and thinking about how to organize his words: "Weihai Fortress is defended by Xie Yuan, and the fortress he defended will not be destroyed so easily. Even if
The opponent has so many large siege ships, so it won't be easy. I know him very well, and he is not someone who just waits to be killed."
As he spoke, his eyes brightened little by little: "Besides, their commander-in-chief is not someone who just sits there and waits to be killed."
Pang Ruo looked disappointed. Bai Yue's words had no useful content. Xie Yu'an was not a person who would sit back and wait for death, and neither was the commander-in-chief of SAARC. What was the use of this? In the face of absolute power, such an argument was too ridiculous.
.
"We can't delay it any longer." Pang Ruo made a decisive decision and said coldly: "As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, I order the White Crow Corps to execute the order immediately!"
Bai Yue smiled.
"You want to disobey?" Pang Ruo narrowed his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm not within the jurisdiction of the coalition forces." Bai Yue put away the smile on his face and said calmly: "The White Crow Corps is affiliated with the SAARC and only obeys the orders of the SAARC Commander-in-Chief."
Guan Jin opened his mouth wide, why didn't he know?
Pang Ruo didn't speak, he just stared at Bai Yue. There was no panic or pretense on Bai Yue's face. He was a little disappointed, but more of it was unexpected. The White Crow Corps actually obeyed the orders of the SAARC commander?
The White Crow Corps is a golden corps with a transcendent status. Now there are only two golden corps left in the southern region. If Bai Yue had not lost his reputation, he could even pull out a coalition army like Pang Ruo.
No matter from any angle, the White Crow Corps is much more important than that SAARC commander.
Unexpectedly, the White Crow Corps obeyed the command of SAARC, and there were too many intriguing things in it. The outside world generally believed that the Bai family's investment in SAARC was more of an investment than a full membership. Looking at it now, it seems to be the same as everyone
Think differently.
For the first time, Pang Ruo became interested in the so-called Commander-in-Chief of SAARC.
Seeing Bai Yue's firm attitude, Pang Ruo stopped making useless efforts and said in a deep voice: "I hope you won't regret this decision."
"Time will tell everything." Bai Yue greeted.
Watching the old general leave expressionlessly, Guan Jin said with a dark face: "Sir, why don't my subordinates know such important information?"
Bai Yue laughed loudly: "Oh oh oh, this is the decision I just made."
Guan Jin was stunned for a moment, and then he rushed forward with anger: "Sir, do you know what this decision means? How many people in the entire southern region have lost their lives because of this decision? I don't understand why my lord is so full of confidence in them.
Confidence, even in such an irreversible situation, adults still wishfully think that they have the means to make such a rash decision..."
Bai Yue smiled and handed over a cup of chrysanthemum tea: "Drink some tea to relieve the fire."
Guan Jin saw Bai Yue looking so shameless, and her anger dissipated for some reason.
"Time will prove everything."
The smile on Bai Yue's face disappeared and he said calmly.
