The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

As the distance between the two sides continued to close, the sixteen [-]-millimeter-caliber secondary guns on the Sea Dragon also began to join the bombardment, and more dense shells hit the flagship where Count Tessa was located.

Under such intensive artillery fire, Count Tessa's good luck finally ran out. He was quickly hit by two shells fired from the secondary battery. One of them hit the command room, killing Count Tessa and his men. Seven or eight officers were killed inside.

Without the command of Count Tesha, the remaining warships were completely trapped in fighting on their own. Facing the enemy's powerful firepower, some captains wanted to retreat, while others were still there. Continue to execute Count Tesha's previous attack order.

As a result, the huge fleet quickly became a mess, and some warships that wanted to retreat accidentally ran into those that were still advancing.

Brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun were completely relieved when they saw this scene. The enemy's position had been completely disrupted and there was no threat. Next was the time for target practice. The end time of the battle depended on whether the gunners were able to shoot accurately. Right.

After about three rounds of shelling, two more warships were sunk, and even more were injured. Now the morale of the warships that were still moving forward seemed to have completely dropped to freezing point, and they were all withdrawn to the rear. .

However, the one who evacuated the fastest was the Marquis of Rodela. After he saw that the large battleship where Count Tessa was on was sunk by concentrated fire, he ignored the fact that the holes in his flagship had not been completely repaired, so he Ordered to evacuate at full speed. By the time the other captains were ready to retreat, he had already disappeared.

When brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun saw that the enemy army had begun to be completely defeated, they immediately issued the order for a general attack. Along with the Hailong, the thirteen wooden warships began to accelerate and pursued the enemy fleet.

In order to keep more enemy ships, Zhang Heng ordered the gunners on the Hailong to aim and fire at the masts of the enemy ships. Most of the power of those enemy ships came from the sails. Once the masts were destroyed, the power would be lost all at once. After more than half, it will be easier for them to chase after them.

This move worked really well. After the masts of many enemy ships were destroyed, their speed immediately slowed down and they were soon overtaken by the Sea Dragon.

Facing these enemy ships that were already close at hand, Zhang Heng did not let the large-caliber naval guns on the battleships fire, but only let the small-caliber [-]-mm rapid-fire cannons sweep through the superstructures of the enemy ships. , killed as many enemy soldiers as possible, and then led hundreds of soldiers to jump directly onto the enemy ships, preparing to capture these enemy ships.

Already suffering heavy casualties under the bombardment of naval guns, the demoralized Wekia soldiers were completely defeated in one blow when faced with the attack of Zhang Heng, a master of Huajin. Soon there were two large warships and three medium-sized warships. They were all occupied by Zhang Heng.

The generals were so brave, and the soldiers below also had high morale. They were all fighting for the lead. The wooden warships quickly cooperated with each other. Two or three of them surrounded the damaged enemy ships and directly engaged in a boarding battle with the opponent.

Although there are not many cannons on these wooden warships, the soldiers are also equipped with flintlock rifles. Before engaging in battle, they will fire a volley at the enemy. Some will even throw a few grenades to kill the enemy. The army was blown into chaos, and then they charged with rifles with bayonets in their hands.

As the saying goes, when encountering each other on a narrow road, the brave will win. The soldiers under Ye Tianlong's command are already more advantageous in terms of equipment level, and they are extremely brave in fighting. Those Wekia soldiers are no match for them. The enemy troops on many battleships will soon be unable to hold up. , directly hoisted the white flag and surrendered.

This pursuit battle finally ended after lasting for more than three hours. One of the seven large warships of the Kingdom of Vekia escaped, three were sunk, and three were captured. Twenty-two medium-sized warships escaped, and two were captured. Eight ships were sunk, twelve were captured, thirty small warships were lost, five escaped, fifteen were sunk, and ten were captured.

Brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun were naturally very happy to have captured so many enemy ships at once, but if these warships wanted to truly become combat effective, they would have to spend a lot of energy to train a large number of naval soldiers.

But this is also a happy worry. After cleaning the battlefield and calculating the final results, Zhang Heng immediately sent a Qingqi scout to send the battle report to Ye Tianlong.

When Ye Tianlong received this successful message, he had just escorted the prisoners and trophies back to Novice Village. He did not expect that the battle on Zhang Heng's side ended so quickly. The key is that the result was also brilliant!

Including the captured enemy ships, he now has three large wooden warships, fifteen medium-sized warships, and twenty small warships under his command. In addition, according to Zhang Heng, he has captured more than [-] enemy troops. Among them, there are probably more than two hundred elites like Wikiya marksmen. After being gathered and changed, they can quickly form a strong combat effectiveness.

In this battle, only a few of Zhang Heng's soldiers were slightly injured, and none of them were killed. This shows that brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun are indeed very good at training the navy. In such a short period of time, Within a short period of time, the soldiers under his command can have such a strong combat effectiveness.

With the last leg of Weixia's army being wiped out, the siege of the three major forces against him has been completely resolved this time. Next, Ye Tianlong is going to continue to expand the army, increasing the number of troops in his hands to [-], and then first attack Nasino When the German Kingdom took action, the traitors colluded with the evil spirits and killed King Ragnar. They were just a group of rebellious officials and traitors. Ye Tianlong later sent troops to attack them. It can be said that it was justified. In addition, after wiping out the enemy force closest to him, Ye Tianlong's territory The strategic depth can also be greatly increased, so that the enemy troops will not be able to attack the city as soon as they attack, leaving no room for buffering.

In addition to expanding the army and training troops, Ye Tianlong will also have to reward his soldiers for their meritorious services. Now it is different from before. In the past, because King Ragnar was on top, when he would confer a relatively high title to his subordinates, he had to obtain the consent of His Majesty the King first.

Now, he can be regarded as an independent force. However, because the territory is still too small, Ye Tianlong feels that he cannot establish a kingdom on his own yet. At most, it can be regarded as a principality. In this way, he can also promote himself to the title of duke. . As for the titles of other subordinates, they can be canonized at will as long as they do not exceed his own duke title.

The first person Ye Tianlong awarded a reward to was his master Li Rufeng. After all, he was one of the first team members to follow him, and he also taught them all kinds of martial arts. Without her help, Ye Tianlong would not have been able to join the team in such a short period of time. The continent of Calradia has established a firm foothold and has a territory of its own.

It was precisely because he was grateful for the many help the other party had given him that Ye Tianlong directly promoted the other party's title to marquis, second only to himself, and also promoted his military rank to major general.

Later, Ye Tianlong conferred the title of five more earls, namely Lin Chong, Luan Tingyu, Shi Wengong, Yang Zhi and Luo Chenguang. At the same time, the military ranks of these five people were also promoted to the rank of colonel.

Among these four people, Lin Chong, Shi Wengong, Yang Zhi and Luan Tingyu were canonized as earls and colonels because of their strong personal strength, and because they had followed Ye Tianlong long enough and made enough contributions, while Luo Chenguang He obtained this earl title by relying on his strong command ability. This time, the enemy was besieged by tens of thousands of troops from the Kingdom of Sirona, which was the largest among the three armies. However, he was the first to defeat the enemy, and also launched an extremely rare attack. That kind of annihilation battle, it would have been great to be able to defeat more with less troops when the troops were inferior, but Luo Chenguang was stunned to rely on this inferior troops to fight a beautiful annihilation battle, and defeated the Kingdom of Sirona in one battle. The tens of thousands of troops were almost completely wiped out.

With such excellent command ability, Ye Tianlong felt that it was no problem to give the opponent a count.

Finally, there is another earl who was made an earl by King Ragnar before, and that is An Daoquan. After all, this miracle doctor saved the other party's life, so the king was very grateful to him and directly made the other party an earl. A special being with a low military rank, but a high knighthood. Because Ye Tianlong claimed to be the orthodox heir of the Kingdom of Nord, he recognized the count An Daoquan even after the death of King Ragnar.

After the earl, it is naturally the turn of the viscount. There are many more people who have obtained the title of viscount and the rank of lieutenant colonel. There are thirteen people, namely Murong Jie, Jiang You, Zhou Jiale, Guo Wenruo, Du Yonggang, Shi Xiu, and Li Zhong, Shi Qian, Tang Long, Ye Er, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun and Sun An.

Among them, Murong Jie, Jiang You, Zhou Jiale and Guo Wenruo are all considered to be the first group of veteran players to follow Ye Tianlong, and all of them have worked hard and made great achievements, so they are well-deserved to obtain the title of viscount and the rank of lieutenant colonel. Du Yonggang, on the other hand, joined a little later, but because of his good talent, rapid improvement in cultivation, and being brave enough to fight on the battlefield, this time he directly caught up with Murong Jie and other veteran team members for their titles. .

At that time, Qian, Li Zhong, and Shi Xiu needless to say, they were all Liangshan heroes who followed Ye Tianlong relatively early. They fought and fought with Ye Tianlong, and they all made a lot of contributions. Obtaining a viscount title and the rank of lieutenant colonel was completely Qualified.

Tang Long performed very well in the sudden incident when the rebels attacked the school. He rushed to the rescue in time and did not cause any casualties to the students in the school. In addition, he still had rare technology that could create various weapons and equipment. He was a talented person, so Ye Tianlong also gave the other party a viscount title as an exception.

Needless to say, the last four, Ye Er, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun and Sun An, two of them obtained the viscount title by relying on their own extremely powerful force, while the two brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, He obtained this viscount title by relying on his excellent naval command ability. Similar to Tang Long, he is a newcomer who has not been in the team for a long time, but has come from behind due to his strength or great achievements.

Finally, there was a group of meritorious personnel who received the title of baronet and the rank of major. This was also the last group of recipients selected by Ye Tianlong himself. After that, the officers and veterans who received the title of knight were handed over to Luo Chenguang and the others to discuss the list. It only needs approval. After all, in this war, there are definitely many officers and veterans who can obtain knighthoods. It is too troublesome for Ye Tianlong to do the canonization slowly one by one.

However, the person who obtained the title of baronet could at least truly enter the aristocratic circle, so although there were also a large number of them, Ye Tianlong still canonized them personally.

There are twenty people in this group, namely Ye Da, Ye San, Ye Si, James, Nanny Cha, Liu Shiyu, Zhang Dashu, Min Shuisheng, Bai Mulin, Guan Jun, Xue Yong, Hou Jian, Judy, and Jack , Yu Haisheng, Zuo Xiaoxian, Ning Yu, Reyek, Diligang and Bestur.
