Power and Empire Chapter 1912: Who is the bait (3)
just outside the southern waters,
The smoke of the war was raging over the coast. Since the Falcon Empire navy's raid on Barola succeeded, on the fourth day, the fleet was rehabilitated and headed north. On the sixth day, the Falcon Empire naval fleet arrived at Lun, one of the three major ports in southern Congo. The surrender of the Ports of West Asia and the Port of Lencia, the surrender of Port Fedor on the seventh day, and the surrender of Port Cullo on the eighth day. In just one week, the Falcon Empire fleet is advancing by leaps and bounds and has taken control of the Congolese coast. On the ninth day, the Falcon Imperial Navy arrived at the northern sea of Valenya Port, known as the centerline of the southern continent. The huge fleet looked at the port like a flock of eagles.
If you look at the Port of Valenya from the eyes of the imperial navy soldiers who cross the sea, it can’t be regarded as a prosperous city at all. At best, it can only be regarded as a small town or even a small fishing village. But for the Congolese empire, this place is the top priority of the coastal defense line. Because of the barrier of huge mountains, Valenya connects the inland and coastal areas of Congolese, so the architectural style of Valenya port is The inland and coastal areas are intertwined with each other. The coastal buildings are typical open and bright streets, with various exquisite two-story or three-story buildings on both sides.
The inland style is the chic small villas, most of which are concentrated in the Zhongxing area, because the garrison of Valenya is transferred from the inland, and these small villas are rich in inland areas. Flavor, such small inland courtyards often have gorgeous fountains, the base is decorated with white marble and stone rice, and the walls are also decorated with white tiles.
Looking over from the battleship on the sea, the white fountain gleamed in the sun. For example, Dusterenkai is now looking at a white castle high above the harbor from the observation mirror. It was a military castle. It was located on the mound behind the port. It was condescending and looked at the whole port. The castle's control range was very large, which made Dustellenkai frown slightly. The opponent’s distance was out of the range of the bombardment, the observation mirror moved down, and a large number of flags of the Congolese and African troops fluttering in the wind were seen on the periphery of the castle. The dense army lined up along the mountain and fought against the port in a row. A week later, the army of the Congolese Empire finally appeared
"Who are these people?"
Du Stellenkai took a deep breath, put down the looking glass in his hand, and asked behind him in a condensed voice
"My lord, this is the Eleventh Step Corps of the South Congo and Fei stationed in Vasia!" The pirate leader Yamu was flattering and told the information about the Valenya port behind him. It means that the possibility of surrendering Valenya Port is extremely small. The Congolese Empire has heavy troops in Valenya Port. The commander is Fabregas, who is a terrible guy ""Fabregas?" "
Du Stellenkai curiously asked, "How could an infantry regiment be stationed at the port?"
"Valenya is the main route from the coast to the inland, so the Congolese Empire has heavy troops here!" The pirate leader Yamu hesitated and said, "Fàbregas was born as a hunter in the southern mountains, and he was two feet tall. M. The body is burly and powerful, and the generals of the southern army are famous for their sturdyness. "His father is a hunter, and his father's father is also a hunter"
The pirate leader Yamu's voice stopped. Unexpectedly, he said, "It is said that Fabregas had hunted a mountain wolf alone when he was eleven years old. The wolf is small, but very flexible and agile. The average hunter can't get close to the range of 30 meters at all. Don’t talk about hunting. That’s why Fabregas is a monster. In order to live, he fought fierce beasts in the southern mountains at a young age. In the end, his uncle, a local hunter leader, thought he was a monster. A talented person. I spent a small amount of money to send him into the army. Sure enough, within a few years, this guy quickly stood out in the army with his excellent hunter skills. Without any background, he climbed from one soldier to one. Famous general, this guy has only spent seven years, and he is definitely a difficult opponent! ""Send someone to negotiate first!" Dusterenkai agreed with Yamu's opinion, and a small sampan moved from the middle of the fleet. Putting it down, a negotiator boarded the opposite port, and soon he brought back the answer with a dim face, "The other party refuses to surrender, Commander!" The negotiator stood up and said, his left face was swollen like a fermented bun, and his speech was a little leaky. It seems to have received a special "reception". How many troops does the opponent have?"
Du Stellenkai’s answer to this was as expected, and he sent the negotiator solely to find out the total number of the opponent’s troops. "Visual inspection is about 10,000 people!" The negotiator recalled it, and said with a cautious expression. "The opponent is equipped with a trebuchet, and the mountain road leading to the top is covered with fences that block the way. It seems that they are ready to choose to stay for a long time!" "Hold for a long time? Well, I understand, you go down first!"
Du Stellenkai nodded solemnly, the opponent is indeed a very good at calculation opponent,
This time, the number of army units that set off with the fleet is only about 11,000, and the other side is confident because of this reason. An expeditionary fleet can carry not too many army units. After successively occupying several ports , There will inevitably be a shortage of troops. If at this time, the guard force of the Valenya port far exceeds the army on the fleet, the Falcon Empire fleet may completely abandon the Valenya port, which will disrupt the previous plan, but if it is The strength of the troops is equivalent. As long as you choose to stick to it, you can easily nail the expeditionary fleet's army to the Valenya Port, which will strategically weaken the Falcon Imperial Navy's ability to continue northward. "The other party has begun to plan. Is it?"
Dusterenkai tilted his head and looked back from the white castle in the distance. He could feel an invisible huge trap unfolding in front of him, killing every step! The opponent is launching the decoy step by step according to the plan. Before reaching the final battlefield, the opponent will continue to weaken the power of the fleet, in order to forcibly lift the exhausted main force of the Empire fleet at the last moment like a big fish! "My lord, in fact, I have a way!" Yamu, the pirate leader, said cautiously. "Let's talk?" Du Stellenkai rubbed his temple pretending to be a headache. The Falcon's mention is indeed not wrong, in order to achieve the strategy. The target, the other party will definitely send a guide here, and according to the report of the person specially arranged by him, on the night when the Imperial fleet entered the port of Baruna, the guide who had the greatest credit for attacking the port of Baruna was full of drunken accidents. Ran to a hidden mound. I lit the fire and extinguished it with water after ten minutes. The identity of this person as an enemy spy has been determined, but I don’t know if it’s a Gangfei or a Strant.
"Although Valenya Fortress is outside the range of the fleet's attack, we can completely adopt a step-by-step approach to form a blow to the fortress!"
The pirate leader Yamu narrowed his eyes, flashing a chill, and said solemnly, "The so-called step-by-step means to send the army to occupy the port first, and then unload part of Thor from the warship to the army to fight. The opponent is under attack. , Will inevitably choose to attack the army, and at this time, the artillery range of the army’s retreat into the fleet......"
"Are you talking about bringing the other person over?"
Dusterenkai looked at him with a weird gaze, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a step-by-step tactic. This is basically the tactic of attacking the opponent's obstacles when a large-scale army is landing. If it is a battle It is not unusual for an experienced naval general to say it. But you, a pirate leader, can say such a term?
"Yes, basically that's what it means." The pirate leader Yamu didn't notice the chill in Dusit's eyes, nodded triumphantly, and said excitedly, "If the opponent can't come, use Thor to destroy their defenses directly. , Blast them into powder, if the opponent comes over, they will fall into the fleet’s attack circle"
"Yes. It's interesting! What a great idea, how did you come up with it?" A smile appeared on the corner of Dusterenko's mouth, and he patted the pirate leader Yamu on the shoulder. It means that what the other party said is too good.
"Where, it's just a bit of crude experience of the villain! I was treated like this by the regular navy before, and I remember it deeply." Yamu smiled embarrassedly
"Send landing troops to control the port area, and the fleet moves forward in a horizontal line!"
Du Stellenkai raised his hand and shouted to the semaphore on the mast above his head. As the order was given, the fleet began to turn side by side towards the harbor. The huge bow split the white roll in front of him. Strenkai glanced over the pirate leader Yamu's face with the corner of his eye. Nothing can be seen on this guy's face, but his eyes are bright and afraid of people, and they are obviously flashing like a fisherman's excitement when he takes the net. And with a somewhat speculative look
Du Stellenkai has been able to determine that this Yamu is a spy of the Strands
The opponent has no mercy for Gang Fei. The so-called step-by-step tactics are good, but obviously they want to use the opposite Gang Fei Army to consume the Thor ammunition potion carried by the Navy. No wonder this guy is so. Enthusiastically introduced each of the southern ports of Gangnam to me in detail, I almost gave these ports directly to myself. Every time, the Imperial Fleet used Thor's tactics of bombarding the city and threatening the other side to surrender, saving effort is saving effort. , But there are more than a dozen large and small ports in the southern part of Congo" but the Thor bombs inadvertently produced huge consumption
Turn Thor into a dumb, this is the trap of the Strand Navy. Dusterenkai roughly figured out that you inside can, slightly frown, paralyze yourself with one victory after another, and you are used to it. The downwind of the Empire fleet will inevitably give birth to a fluke mentality. It will inevitably think that the Strand Sea State fleet has been withdrawn. With full confidence, facing the last port and the great glory of completing the entire southern coast battle, it will inevitably be The fleet with insufficient preparations and ammunition continued northward, and finally, the Strand Sea State Fleet, which had tolerated the appearance of the last port, sealed its throat with a sword!
"A vicious method!"
Du Stellenkai took a deep breath. The opponent’s arrangement avoided the shocking Thor of the Falcon Empire fleet to the greatest extent, and brought into full play the advantages of the traditional sea nation fleet, even though Thor has a powerful Destructive power, if there is no Thor bullet in the sea battle, it will be completely reduced to the target of the navy of the sea hegemon Strant,
In the afternoon, fifty Thors had been unloaded from the three Dragon Tooth battleships and their muzzles had been raised in the port area, "Fire! Clean up all suspicious targets!" Dustellenkai looked at the time and issued it. The command to fire. Since you want to make the other party believe, you have to pretend to be a little bit,
"Boom Rumbling" fifty Thors fired one after another. Large-caliber Thor cannonballs swept over the sky ahead and landed sturdily on the head of the Gangfei Army lined up along the mountain. The fire was rolling. Black smoke rose up. The mountain path was blown up like a hurricane blowing by the wind, and dozens of wooden watch towers were suddenly shattered, and the raging fire burned in half of the ruins, like a huge fire snake devouring everything.
The soldiers from the Congolese Army and Fei Army who were on the opposite side seemed to be frightened by the intense artillery fire. Some people who were farther from the guard tower ran around in a hurry. The Thor bullet fell there. When the explosion blows up, it will be a big piece. In the spring, there are densely packed cypresses and Gangfei soldiers built a simple wooden wall with cypresses. Behind the wooden wall are pedals on which stand the Gangfei archers. They originally wanted to block the enemy's infantry raids. , But now, as the Thor cannonballs smashed down, a huge explosion brought these bundled and weak wooden walls into the air with a wave of air, and the entire wooden wall was staggered, and the archers on it came from several meters high. Falling down, get up before it has time. I was swept in by the violent fire, and the scene was extremely tragic
"Quick, fight back!" Gang Fei fought back angrily with a sling. The huge sling flew into the sky in an arc, and then struck a fierce heavy pressure, hitting the ground heavily, dusty and soft The ground suddenly sank, and the momentum was amazing. However, the farthest slings were also 50 meters away from the attack line of the Falcon Army. These slings could not reach the Falcon Army’s army formation at the port, and their hastily launching and fighting. Instead, he exposed his position too far ahead,
"490 meters ahead, turn left 21 degrees, height 24." Observation post with a look glass. Quickly reported the position of the trebuchet,
These poor trebuchets, which were already small in number, immediately became the target of the naval fleet's gunners. Seeing such a lively fight in the direction of the port, the artillery hands on the battleship were itchy. The battleships lined up on the shore of the port, and the range could be extended to the first line of defense of the Congolese Army.
"Rumble" rows of white smoke came out of it,
In less than three minutes, the attack from the surface fleet almost overturned the area where the catapult was located. From the battleship in the harbor, it can be seen that the giant lever of the catapult was lifted up. In the sky, there are a lot of small black spots flying together with debris
"Asshole!"
, who saw this scene from the heights of the Valenya Fortress, the commander of the Eleventh Step in the south of Gangfei, Fabugales, saw that his eyes were full of blood. He originally wanted to use these trebuchets to give the charging Falcons a sudden Strikes, who knows that it’s only a few minutes, and all the trebuchets that I spent time and effort to rush to make are all reimbursed. After striking these closer targets, the opponent’s line of attack will definitely move forward.
"Amatia Longbow will teach these guys!"
Fabgaresdi muttered and walked behind him, and took a shining longbow from the wall. This longbow is one meter long. The position of the bow handle is carved with two upper and lower lines. Eagle, this is the mark of the tallest eagle archer among the hunters in the south. The eagle archer, like an eagle, can kill a small mouse running fast among the rocks from a hundred meters away. It is with this shocking shooting skill that Fabgarez has become the most terrifying officer hunter on the battlefield. It is said that six generals died under his hand, and 21 of them were at the level of squadron leaders, worthy of the name. Sniper!
"The line of attack is one hundred meters ahead!"
After completing the clearing of the front, the infantry in the port area began to move forward. The Imperial Crossbowmen carried their bows and crossbows in their hands and advanced in a hash formation. The Gangfei infantry on the opposite felt that they had seized the opportunity." Go ahead! Rush up and kill them all!" With all kinds of loud shouts, the infantrymen rushed forward with spears in their hands.
"Bowmen and crossbowmen!" The commander of the landing troops gave orders in an orderly manner.
The imperial crossbowmen in a scattered formation, calmly stopped their steps, and the crossbow in their hands was steadily flat-end facing forward. They were all battle-tested veterans, and the opposite was like a scattered duck. In their eyes, it is simply a group of lambs to be slaughtered. In order to improve the accuracy of the volley, the imperial crossbowmen are accustomed to the three-man team, and no one dares to say that they can definitely hit the target with a shot. Piercing the throat, but if there are three people, it is difficult for the other party to die. As the bowstring is released, the tone of "Beng! Beng! Beng!" is like a kind of music that matches the rhythm.
"Punch!" The head of a Gangfei infantry on the opposite side was shot by arrows~IndoMTL.com~ suddenly fell, and the arrow clusters staggered and shot from the opposite side, and countless light points penetrated into Gangfei accurately. The body of a soldier, even a heavy infantry in heavy armor, could not withstand the penetration of crossbow arrows within 100 meters. The specially processed triangular arrows of the Imperial crossbowmen lashed like a whip like a hurricane. Human body, with a howling sound, plunged into the weak part of the heavy infantry armor, "Ah," the blood is splattered and the screams are constant. At the beginning, people can face it with high morale and calmly.
"Go forward, they are not many! Charge, kill them all!"
The howls one after another can easily arouse the blood of the soldiers, but as the companions fell one by one, the opponent's archer was still pulling out the arrow clusters in an orderly manner, and the blood of the infantry quickly disappeared.
The opponent’s near-artistic long-range killing technique tortures the nerves of all infantrymen and non-infantry.
The opponent’s archer is so terrible that there is almost no possibility of blocking it. When the shield is raised, the arrow clusters roar in from the gap between the erected shields, and the flesh and blood body inserted into the back of the shield can be seen constantly being shot through the body. The scary bright red splashed by the soldiers,
For the first time facing the Falcon Empire’s famous Continental Crossbowmen, the soldiers from the South Army who were not in the South Army even began to appear unstoppable in panic.
"Go forward, no retreat!" The officers worked hard, but even their own footsteps were retreating. The shooter on the opposite side was terrible! (To be continued) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
