Chapter 720: The Offensive and Defensive Battle of Gantry Port (1)

The usual busy port of Gantuli Port has already been empty. Except for a few ships that had no time to escape, all other ships at the port fled to the port. The bold ones parked the ship several miles away and watched from a distance. The timid ones had already run away, because just yesterday, the army of the Buddha's Kingdom finally arrived from the sea.

However, the army of the Buddha's Kingdom did not rush to attack, but sent envoys to meet Dong Qing and others, asking them to hand over the port, and offer ten ships of cargo to the Buddha's Kingdom, and hand over the person in charge who had attacked the port, so that the Buddha's Kingdom could let other people live.

Dong Qing didn't even look at the last disc issued by the Kingdom of Buddha Death, and directly asked the army to prepare to face the enemy. However, he did not plan to fight a naval battle with Buddha Death. Although Buddha Death's boat was small, Buddha Death's fishing relied on the sea and was very proficient in naval battles. In addition, Dong Qing and others were blocked to the port, and the waters were very narrow, which was not conducive to their large ships' battles, so it would be better to lure the enemy to land and they would hit the other side with a head-on blow.

As time passed by minute by minute, the Buddhas on the sea finally consumed their patience. With the command of the commander, hundreds of small boats ran in unison. The Buddhas on the ship were narrow and long. Generally, there were only a dozen natives on board, but they were very flexible. If they were surrounded by these native boats on the sea, it would be difficult for ordinary merchant ships to get rid of them.

However, Dong Qing was not waiting for this period. Zhou Liang's men were retired veterans in the army. They took advantage of this period to build some defensive weapons, the most of which were scattering machines. This thing has a simple structure and can be seen everywhere. The disadvantage is that it is too bulky and has a limited range. However, it is enough to deal with these natives.

"Let it go!" With Zhou Liang's order, dozens of catapults were shot together. The catapult did not only throw one projectile. In fact, if the catapult was replaced with a skin pocket, dozens of small stone bombs could be thrown at a time. These stone bombs were thrown into the air. After gravity acceleration, they were like raindrops hitting the natives' fleet.

Although these stone bullets are not big, at most they are the size of adult fists, it is still fine to deal with the boats of natives. Even if they cannot penetrate the bottom of the boat, they can instantly lose their combat effectiveness when they fall on the heads of natives.

Although some natives raised their shields, most of their shields were designed to defend against bows and arrows, and they were generally not very thick. After all, natives were short and too thick shields could not be lifted. As a result, they suffered a great loss now. The thin shield could not stop the heavy stones at all, and the shields were constantly smashed by the stones.

The Buddha Dead obviously did not expect that Dong Qing and his team's counterattack were so sharp, and they were caught off guard for a while. The first batch of local people attacked also screamed in pain, and many people even jumped into the sea to avoid the stone bombs above their heads. This made the Buddha Dead in the rear roar angrily, but he had no good idea, so he could only urge the ship to speed up. As long as he rushed to the dock to fight the other party in close combat, the catapult would be useless.

The Buddha Death mobilized 10,000 troops this time, which was already a very large army for a native South Ocean country. After all, the Buddha Death kingdom was not large. Although it had not been counted, it was only one million people who died of death. A large part of them were just their vassals and could not be mobilized at all.

The tactics of the sea of ​​people are sometimes very useful. Soon, the native warships rushed through the blockade of the catapult, and the bow rushed to the dock as fast as possible. Then, the short natives waved their swords and shot them to the dock. However, they were greeted by dense bows and arrows. Even if there were shields blocking them, the natives were still caught by arrows from time to time, and the entire dock became a slaughterhouse for the natives.

"General Zhou, are you sure? If you can't hold on, please inform me early. As long as we get on the boat, I'm sure to escape from the pursuit of the Buddha's dead!" Dong Qing asked Zhou Liang next to him with trepidation. Since the beginning of the war, he has been with Zhou Liang. At the same time, the ships on the other side of the dock have been ready. As long as the war is unfavorable, they will get on the boat and leave here immediately. After all, Li Zhang did not give them a death order at the beginning.

"You are too timid. These natives have extremely low combat power. Not to mention ten thousand, I can still defend the port even if I come twice as much!" Zhou Liang glanced at Dong Qing indifferently and replied. After this period of time, he and Dong Qing had some friendship. Although he was still very cold, he at least talked a little more.

"Keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of burning firewood, and the marquis didn't let us guard the port. Even if it was lost, it would be nothing. At worst, you can just fight it down again." Dong Qing said earnestly. It was not that he didn't believe in Zhou Liang's ability, but he wanted the other party to know that defending the port is secondary, and preserving strength is the most important thing.

Zhou Liang actually understood what Dong Qing meant, but he was too lazy to talk to the other party. Moreover, the reason why he took the initiative to attack was to see the combat power of these natives. After all, it was too easy to capture the port before. At that time, he thought that the locals in the port were relaxed and they took advantage of the sneak attack. However, with the later fight with the natives, he found that the combat power of these natives in the South Ocean was indeed very low. With the strength of his troops in his hands, as long as the opponent's troops were not more than ten times his, he would have no need to give in at all.

While speaking, more and more native warships rushed to the dock. Although the locals on the dock suffered heavy casualties, more and more natives rushed to the ashore. Many natives even broke through the blockade of bows and arrows with shields, and were about to meet with the defenders at the port.

"Retreat!" Zhou Liang ordered without hesitation at this time. Obviously, he did not want to start a close-knit battle with the natives at this time.

Military orders are like mountains, and a large part of the combat effectiveness of an army is reflected in their implementation of military orders. A wolf is not terrible. Sometimes a wolf cannot even defeat a dog. But if it is a group of wolves, even tigers have to retreat because the wolf pack has strong organization and discipline. In other words, the wolf pack is actually the army of the animal world, and the wolf pack has almost no natural enemies in the animal world, except for humans.

With Zhou Liang's order, the defenders defending the dock immediately retreated slowly. Retreatment is actually the most test of an army. If you are not careful, retreat will turn into a defeat. At that time, there will be no need for the enemy to charge. The trampling and killing of the army during the defeat can lead to the defeat of an army.
