The battle in the waters of Ferran continued until the evening, and after two or three hours of continuous shelling, the Nord fleet in the port of Ferran was completely annihilated, because of the slow reaction and lack of experience in naval warfare.

The Nord Navy paid a heavy price for its stupidity under the first official encounter of the Falcon Navy,

Except for some of the smaller warships that fled in the chaos, more than 50 other warships, large and small, were completely lost in the harbor.

There were no more Denod ships to be seen on the sea, only the dense corpses drifting with the waves, and the dense shards of wood chips, completely covering the entire surface of the harbor.

"Inform Lord Statunko's main fleet that the obstacles ahead have been cleared and the army can land"

Dustrunkai, who felt that it was basically the same, turned around and ordered the herald behind him, with the departure of a reconnaissance ship,

Soon, a slender black line appeared on the sea to the left of the privateer, which grew larger and larger as the horizon in the distance rose and fell.

Finally, it turned into a huge fleet of hundreds of warships, and the white waves grew bigger and bigger like tumbling white lines

The Governor of the South, Stunko, stood on the half-arc bridge of a Dragon-class battleship, the oncoming sea breeze blowing his hair, under the inky sky,

10 nautical miles away from the chain of Ferran Islands that gradually subsided in the distance, the warships of the Falcon Dynasty were lined up far away, and the number of them reached hundreds, and the electric light that flashed in the sky from time to time shone on this group of warships that were silently advancing, sprinkling a flowing light.

The positions of all the battleships were in one direction, the heavy bow, which from time to time smashed the oncoming waves, and the entire sea boiled under the impetus of this long line

The group of warships composed of large transport ships of Salander suddenly rushed out of the turbulent waves, and suddenly split the sea surface heavily, such a fleet is not one, on the left side of the fleet moving forward in silence, twenty falcon wolf tooth warships responsible for coastal escort, like a shuttle in the undulating waves,

Looking at the chain of Ferran Islands getting closer and closer in front of his eyes, Statunk's face on the bridge was cold, and behind him, the "pop" scattered waves wet the armor of every Falcon soldier on the ship,

The huge hull, the hideous ramming of the bow, the gun compartment covered by baffles on the side of the ship changed in light and dark in the night,

The falcon infantry in black armor stood densely on the deck of the transport ship, the dense bayonet guns were like a forest towering towards the sky, these warships departing from the sea area of Saland, carrying 15,000 Southern Army troops who were the main attack mission this time, most of these soldiers had participated in the raid on Saland's Kyoto, and had already had the experience of crossing the sea, their faces were a little pale because of the long-distance voyage guide, but this did not affect their enthusiasm for this battle,

It is not the first time for the soldiers of the Southern Army to fight across the sea, but the ocean distance crossed this time is also a huge challenge for the Southern Army who has experience in crossing the sea.

According to the report of the reconnaissance ship of the privateer fleet, the Southern Governor Statunko knew that the battle of the Ferrand Island Chain was nearing its end, and sure enough, as it was predesigned,

The privateer fleet that suddenly emerged from behind the enemy, with powerful firepower, crushed the Nord Second Naval Fleet docked in the harbor with an absolutely powerful attitude, which marked the Felan Island Chain that the Nords had painstakingly operated for half a year, and it was completely shattered so far, and with the Felan Island Chain being shattered, the soft belly of the Nords in the southern seas has been exposed,

However, Tiha, the main target of this campaign, did not send another main fleet of the Nord navy to the rescue as expected, but chose to hold on very safely, which made Statunko have to abandon the original plan and decide to take the island of Ferrand in front of him first, and then continue to march to the Nord coast. ...,

The 10 transport ships in charge of the land attack washed up on the beach of Ferrand Island with the tide, and as the ship's side baffle was lowered, more than 1,000 black-armored Falcon troops on it swarmed down.

In order to gain a foothold in the Nord South China Sea in the shortest possible time, Statunko's Southern Army Corps also went out and mobilized the three main flag regiments under his command to participate in the battle, which was commanded by himself on the battlefield.

Determined to form an overwhelming force against the Nord army on the island of Ferran, and never give the Nords a chance to resist or escape.

According to the attack plan, the 1st Banner Regiment of the Southern Army was responsible for attacking the main fort on Ferran Island, and at the same time as they landed, the transport fleet of the 2nd Banner Regiment landed on the beach on the left, and the 3rd Banner Regiment landed in the low-lying area on the right.

But the waves became the biggest obstacle to the landing of the Falcon Army, almost making it impossible for the Falcon Army to land normally.

The average height of the waves near Ferrand Island exceeded two meters, and sometimes even more than four meters, and it was very difficult to land heavily armored soldiers under such high waves, and there was a danger that the ship would capsize at any time.

In this case, Statunko could only order the fleet to suspend the landing, and the squadron that had already landed moved closer to the direction where the main formation of the Chinese army was located according to the prior arrangement, and the time lasted until the next morning, when Statooenko's temporary main formation gathered less than 4,000 troops.

In this case, Statunko could only temporarily order the gathered troops to slowly advance towards the hinterland of the island

The first to be occupied by the Falcon army were the corpse-strewn harbor and some villages on the edge of the island, where almost all the buildings were burned by the retreating Nord army, all the food they could take with them was looted, and there was little sign of life except for the dense debris floating in the sea and the corpses of the villagers.

The main garrison of the Nord army on the island of Ferrand was a medium-sized main fort built on the bend of the island, which was built of the gray-white sun-dried stone of the island. The city wall with a length and width of more than 1,000 meters is square, and the unusually strong city gate is composed of iron fences weighing thousands of pounds, and four condescending circular forts, from the position of the main fort, the situation of the entire island can be overlooked.

There were 1,500 defenders stationed here all year round, plus the sailors of the Nord Second Fleet who withdrew into the fort, the number reached more than 6,000, these Nord soldiers occupied the walls of the main fort, and constantly shot arrows at the falcon army close to the main fort, and the trebuchets on the walls also dropped a large number of rubble, like raindrops on the Nord heavy infantry holding shields.

Thundered......

The Thor bullet from the Falcon Warship at sea hit the wall of the Nord main fortress, and a violent splash of fire light illuminated the face of the Marquis of Morlie, who was standing on the tower of the main fort, and his face was ugly, although the bombardment strength of the warp Thor equipped with the Falcon Navy fleet did not damage much to the strong fortress, but the number was enough to make up for the lack of power

Looking through the square shooting hole of the castle, you can vaguely see the distant sea flickering and gushing fires from time to time, which is the Falcon Navy shooting. As the gaze shifted to the coastal areas, more and more ships began to appear in the Nord people's field of vision.

Densely packed with ships. Almost all of the sea was covered, and all of these were landing flotillas of the Falcon Army. Lined up at the back were all sorts of transport and support vessels, the large ones resembling a small hill on the sea, and the five tall masts looked like a forest of masts. ...,

In front of and around these giant warships are the Dragon's Tooth warships of the Falcon Navy's Megatron Sea, some of which are bombarding this side. Some are cruising escorts.

The Falcon Navy dispatched more than eighty ships in total, but only in front of the fortress, there were 5 Dragon-class capital ships and 20 Dragon's Tooth battleships. In addition to the cruisers, eight Dragon's Tooth battleships were involved in the shelling. In other words, there are now more than 300 Thor gates, constantly bombarding the castle of Ferran Island.

As long as the targets that stood out outside the city wall system were all destroyed, including the 8 small forts on the periphery, and the 800 soldiers inside, under the fierce bombardment, the Nord defenders were all pale, and the walls of the fortified fortress shook from time to time before the violent explosion.

The bombardment lasted for an hour, the defense system of the main fort on the island almost completely collapsed, half of the walls on the side of the main fort were blown down, and only half of the fort on both sides was left, thick black smoke rose from the interior of the fort, more than half of the 6,000 Nord defenders were lost, the bloody corpses were mixed with the broken wall bricks, and the Nord flag was also ignited by the fire in the thick smoke, leaving only a section of dark scorched wood

"Advance"

Statunko gave the order for a general attack, and the Falcon army from three directions began to surround the main fort on the top of the hill, and in the black army formation, the spears were like a forest, and the dense shields reflected like the churning waves in the ocean, and there were fierce engagements with the Nord army along the way. Due to the very complex terrain around the main fort, there are stone crevices everywhere, to this point, the Nord soldiers also let out, they took shields and Nord battle axes, and launched a desperate counterattack against the encircled Falcon army, as long as they can kill a Falcon soldier, it is a victory.

Countless crossbow arrows shot out from the front of the military array, countless white silk threads crossed the sky, like flower buds that suddenly bloomed, and the dense cluster of arrows and cold stars even covered the original color of the sky, and the Nord soldiers with sad and angry expressions fell to the ground one after another in the rain of arrows. The encircled army stopped in front of the fortress,

"Alternate advance" With the shouts of the heavy infantry captains in the front row, the shield infantry in front of the crossbowmen covered alternately, slowly searched forward, and found that there were Nords in front of them, so they immediately squatted down, and the crossbowmen behind them quickly and skillfully cleared the target,

For the dying struggles of the Nords and the madness before death, the Falcon Army was fully psychologically prepared. Now that all the Nord soldiers are locked up in the main fort, surrounded and killed, there is no way to retreat, and the trapped beast is their only choice, in this case, how to destroy the remnants of the enemy safely and reliably is a very skillful thing,...... ,
