1912 Who's the Bait (3)
Gangfei southern sea,
The smoke of war swept over the coast, since the Falcon Empire Navy raided Barola, on the fourth day, the fleet rested and went north, on the sixth day, the Falcon Empire Navy fleet arrived at the port of Rencia, one of the three major ports in the south of Gangfei, the port of Loncia surrendered, on the seventh day, the port of Fedor surrendered, on the eighth day, the port of Kulo surrendered, in just a week, the Falcon Empire fleet has advanced by leaps and bounds, has controlled the half of the coast of Gangfei, on the ninth day, the Falcon Imperial Navy arrived at the northern sea of the port of Valenya, which is known as the center line of the southern continent, and the huge fleet is like a flock of eagles eyeing the direction of the port。
If you look at the port of Valenya from the perspective of the soldiers of the Imperial Navy who crisscross the sea, it cannot 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 here for the Gangfei Empire, it is the top priority of the coastal defense line, because of the huge mountain range, the connection between the inland and coastal areas of Gangfei is Wallenya, so the architectural style of the port of Wallenya is a mixture of inland and coastal areas, and the coastal buildings are typical bright streets, with various exquisite two-story or three-story buildings on both sides.
The inland style is a chic villa, most of which are concentrated in the Zhongxing area, because the garrison officers of Valunya are transferred from the inland, and these small villas have a strong flavor of the inland area.
Looking at the battleship on the surface of the sea, the white and flawless fountain glistens in the sun. For example, Dustrenkai is now looking through his lookout glass at a white castle high in the harbor. It was a military castle, located on the mound behind the port, condescendingly, looking at the entire port, and the castle had a large control range, which could not help but make Dustrunkai frown slightly. The distance of the other side was outside the range of the artillery bombardment, the lookout scope moved down, and on the periphery of the castle I saw a large number of flags of the Gang Fei army fluttering in the wind, and the dense army was lined up along the mountain, and after a week of continuous fighting against the port, the army of the Congo and the African army finally appeared
"Who are these?"
Dustrenkai took a deep breath, put down the lookout scope in his hand, and asked behind him in a condensed voice
"My lord, this is the Eleventh Legion of the Southern Gangfei Regiment stationed in Vasya!" the pirate leader Amu recounted the information about the port of Valenya with a flattering face. It means that the possibility of surrendering to the port of Valenya is extremely small, and the Congo Empire has a heavy army in the port of Valenya, and the commander is called Fabregas, who is a terrible guy" "Fabregas?"
Dustrunkai asked curiously, "How can it be an infantry regiment stationed in the harbor?"
"Valenya is the main road from the coast to the inland, so the Gangfei Empire has a heavy army here!" said the pirate leader Amu after a moment's hesitation, "Fabregas is a hunter from the southern mountains, and he is two meters tall. With a burly body and powerful limbs, he was famous among the generals of the Gangfei Southern Army, "his father was a hunter, and his father's father was also a hunter"
The pirate leader Amu's voice stopped. "It is said that this Fabregas hunted a mountain wolf alive at the age of eleven, the wolf is not large, but it is very agile and agile, and the average hunter does not reach a range of nearly 30 meters. Not to mention hunting, that's why this Fabregas is a monster, fighting fierce beasts in the southern mountains at a young age in order to live. Finally, his uncle, a local hunter chief, thought he was a man of creation. It took a small amount of money to send him into the army, and sure enough, in just a few years, this guy quickly stood out in the army with his excellent hunter skills, and climbed from a soldier to a general without any background, this guy only took seven years, and he is definitely a difficult opponent!" "Let's send someone to negotiate first!" Dustrunkai agreed with Amu's opinion, a small sampan was lowered from the middle of the group, and a negotiator landed in the opposite port, and soon brought back the answer with a gloomy face. The other party refuses to surrender, Commander!" The negotiator straightened up and said, the left side of his face was swollen like a fermented bun, and his speech was a little leaky, it seemed that he had received a special "reception" "How many troops does the other side have?"
Dustrunkai had already expected this answer, and sent the negotiators to find out the total number of troops on the other side, "Visually speaking, it is about 10,000 people!" The negotiator recalled for a moment, and said with a cautious expression, "The other party has a trebuchet, and the mountain road leading to the top is full of fences blocking the way, it seems that it is ready to choose to hold on for a long time!" "Will you hold on for a long time?" Well, I understand, you go down first!"
Dustrunkai nodded solemnly, the other party is indeed a very good opponent at calculation,
The number of land forces that set off with the fleet this time is only about 11,000 people, and it is also for this reason that the other party has nothing to fear, an expeditionary fleet can carry not too many army troops, after occupying several ports in a row, there will inevitably be a shortage of troops, if at this time, the defense force of the port of Valenya far exceeds the army on the fleet, the Falcon Empire fleet may completely abandon the port of Valenya, which will disrupt the previous plan, but if the strength is equal, as long as you choose to hold on, you can easily nail the land of the expeditionary fleet to the port of Valenya, thus strategically weakening the strength of the Falcon Empire Navy to continue to advance north"Has the other party started the plan?"
Dustrunkai tilted his head and withdrew his gaze from the white castle in the distance, he could feel an invisible huge trap unfolding in front of him, killing step by step! The other party was unfolding the bait step by step according to the plan, and before reaching the decisive battle, the other party would definitely continue to weaken the strength of the fleet, in order to forcibly hang the exhausted main force of the imperial fleet like a big fish at the last moment! "My lord, I actually have a way!" The pirate leader Amu said cautiously, "Tell me about it?" Dustrenkai rubbed his temples with a headache, what the Falcon Majesty mentioned was indeed not wrong, in order to achieve the strategic goal, the other party would definitely deliberately send a guide over, and according to the report of the person he specially arranged, on the night when the Imperial fleet entered the port of Baronna, the guide who had the greatest merit in the surprise attack on the port of Baronna was unexpectedly covered with alcohol and ran to a hidden mound. The fire was lit, and ten minutes later it was all doused with water, and the identity of this person as an enemy spy had been determined, but it was not known whether it was a Gangfei or a Stranger
"Although the Valenya Fortress is outside the strike range of the fleet, we can completely adopt a layered approach to form a strike force on the fortress!"
The pirate leader Amu's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashed, and he said in a solemn tone, "The so-called layered advance means that the army will first be sent to occupy the port, and then unload part of Thor from the warship to fight in the army. When the enemy is attacked, it will inevitably choose to attack the army, and at this time, the army will withdraw into the range of the armouring of the fleet......"
"You mean to lure the other person over?"
Dustrunkai looked at him with a strange gaze, the corners of his eyebrows rose slightly, and there was a layered tactic, this is simply a tactic of attacking the opponent's obstruction when a large-scale army landing, if it is a naval general with rich combat experience, it is not unusual to say it at all. But you, a pirate leader, can say such a term?
"Yes, that's basically what it means" The pirate leader Amu didn't notice the chill in Duster's eyes, nodded proudly, and said excitedly, "If the other party doesn't come." Just use Thor to directly destroy their defenses, blow them up to powder, and if the other party comes, it will fall into the attack circle of the fleet."
"Not bad. That's a great idea, how did you come up with that?" a smile tugged at Dustrenkay's lips and patted the pirate leader Amu on the shoulder. It means that what the other party said is too good.
"Where, it's just a little vulgar experience of a villain! I've been treated like this by the regular navy before, and I remember it well, so I remember it," Amu sneered awkwardly
"Send a landing force to control the port area, and the fleet will advance in a horizontal line!"
Dustrenkai raised his hand and shouted to the flag-bearer on the mast overhead, as the order was given, the fleet began to turn sideways and move side-by-side towards the harbor, the huge bow split the white tumbling in front, Dustrenkai glanced at the face of the pirate leader Amu out of the corner of his eye, this guy couldn't see anything on his face, but his eyes were bright and terrifying, obviously flashing like the excited and somewhat speculative gaze of a fisherman when he closed his net
Dustrunkai could already determine that this Yamu was a spy for the Strangers
The other party does not have the slightest mercy for the Gangfei people, the so-called layered tactics are good, but it is obvious that they want to use the Gangfei Army on the opposite side to consume the Thor ammunition carried by the navy, no wonder this guy is so enthusiastic to introduce the Gangfei southern ports to himself in detail, and he almost gave these ports directly to himself, every time, the imperial fleet is to take Thor to bombard the city, threatening the other party's surrender tactics, saving effort is labor-saving, but there are more than ten large and small ports in the entire Gangfei southern port, but Thor bombs inadvertently produced huge consumption
Let Thor become dumb, this is the trap of the Strand Navy, Dustrengke roughly figured out what you can in it, frowned slightly, and numbed himself with one victory after another, the Imperial fleet, which has been accustomed to the tailwind, will inevitably have a fluke mentality, and will inevitably think that the Strand Sea Fleet has withdrawn, and in the face of the last port, and the great glory of completing the entire southern coast campaign, he will inevitably continue to go north with the fleet with insufficient ammunition, and finally, the Strand Sea Fleet, which appeared in the last port, will be sealed with a sword!
"What a vicious method!"
Dustrenkai took a deep breath, the other party's arrangement avoided the shocking Thor of the Falcon Empire fleet to the greatest extent, and gave full play to the advantages of the traditional sea fleet, although Thor has a powerful destructive power, if there is no Thor bullet in the sea battle, it will completely fall into the slaughter of the sea overlord Strand Navy,
In the afternoon, fifty Thor guns had been unloaded from the three Dragon's Tooth warships and their guns had been raised in the port area, "Open fire! Clear all suspicious targets!" Dustrenkai looked at the time and gave the order to open fire. Since you want to make the other party believe, you naturally have to pretend to be a little like this,
"Boom" 50 Thor guns fired one after another, and the large-caliber Thor shells swept over the sky in front of them, and landed firmly on the heads of the Gang Fei Army that were arrayed along the mountain, only to see the flames rolling and bursts of black smoke rising. The mountain road was blown up like a hurricane blown by the wind, and more than a dozen wooden guard towers were smashed in an instant, and the raging fire burned in half of the ruins, like a huge fire snake devouring a qiē,
The officers and men of the Congo Army on the opposite side seemed to be frightened by the dense high-powered artillery fire, and some of the men who were closer to the guard tower ran in a panic. Thor bullets fell there. When it explodes, it's a big explode. In the spring, the mountain is densely covered with cypress pine, and the soldiers of Gangfei built a simple wooden wall with cypress pine, and behind the wooden wall is a pedal, on which stand the shooters of Gangfei, originally wanted to block the surprise attack of the opposing infantry, but now, as the Thor cannonball smashed down, the huge explosion brought the air wave to lift these bound and not strong wooden walls into the air, and the entire wooden wall was crooked, and the archers on it fell down from a height of several meters, and they didn't have time to get up. was swept into it by the rapid firelight, and the scene was extremely tragic
"Quick, fight back!" Gang Feiren angrily fought back with a catapult, and the huge slings flew into the sky with an arc, and then slashed through a sharp pressure, slamming on the ground, the dust flew, and the soft ground suddenly sunken down, and the momentum was amazing. But the farthest slings, fifty meters from the Falcon Army's line of attack, these slings simply could not reach the Falcon Army's military formation in the harbor, their hasty launch and. Instead, he exposed his position too high,
"490 meters ahead, turn left 21 degrees, height 24" observation post holding a lookout glass. quickly reported the location of the trebuchet,
These poor trebuchets, which were already few in number, immediately became the object of scramble for fire by the gunners of the naval fleet. Seeing that the battle in the direction of the port was so lively, the shellers on the battleships were itching, and the battleships were lined up on the shore of the port, and the range could already be extended to the first line of defense of the Gangnon Army.
"Boom" rows of white smoke came out of it,
In less than three minutes, the blow from the surface fleet had almost turned the area where the trebuchet was located, and from the battleship in the harbor, it could be seen that the huge lever of the trebuchet was lifted into the sky, and many small black dots were scattered together with debris
"Bastard!"
Fabougares, the commander of the Eleventh Step-Gang Regiment in the south of Gangfei, who saw this scene at the height of the Wallenya Fortress, saw that his eyes were full of blood, and he originally wanted to use these trebuchets to give a surprise blow to the charging Falcon Army, but who knew that in just a few minutes, the trebuchets that he had spent a lot of effort to make improvised would all be reimbursed, and after striking at these relatively approaching targets, the opponent's attack line would definitely move forward,
"Amatia Longbow will teach these guys a lesson!"
Fabugaredi muttered behind him and took down a glittering longbow from the wall, this longbow was one meter eight meters long, and the position of the handle of the bow was carved with two eagles in pairs of upper and lower lines, which was the mark of the tallest eagle archer among the hunters of the Gangfei South, the eagle archer, like an eagle, capable of nailing a small mouse running between rocks from a hundred meters away. It was with this shocking archery skill that Fabugares became the most feared officer hunter on the battlefield, and it is said that there were six local generals who died under him, and twenty-one people at the squadron leader level, a veritable sniper!
"A hundred meters ahead of the line of attack!"
After completing the clearing of the front line, the infantry in the port area began to move forward, the imperial crossbowmen carried bows and crossbows in their hands, and advanced in a hashed formation, and the non-infantry on the opposite side felt that they had seized the opportunity, "Forward! Rush forward, kill them all!"
"Crossbowmen!" the commander of the landing force gave the order in an orderly manner,
The imperial crossbowmen in the hash formation, their expressions were calm and stopped, the crossbows in their hands were steadily facing forward, they were all veterans of a hundred battles, and the opposite side was like a loose duck screaming like a gang non-human, in their eyes it was simply a group of lambs to be slaughtered, in order to improve the accuracy of the salvo, in the case of hash and flat pushing, the imperial crossbowmen were used to three-person groups, and no one dared to say that they would definitely be able to pierce the throat of the target with an arrow, but if it was three people, it would be difficult for the other party not to die, as the bowstring was released, "Collapse, collapse!" The tone is like a kind of music with a dark rhythm
"Flutter!" A Gangfei infantry on the opposite side was shot in the head by a cluster of arrows, and suddenly fell, and the cluster of arrows staggered from the opposite side, countless points of light accurately drilled into the body of the Gangfei soldiers, even the heavy infantry wearing heavy armor could not resist the crossbow arrows within a hundred meters, the specially processed triangular arrows of the imperial crossbowman were like a whip like a storm and whipped violently on the Gangfei people, and with a whistling sound, they pierced into the weak point of the heavy infantry armor, "Ah" Blood was splashed everywhere, screams continued, and Gangfei was able to face it calmly with high morale at the beginning,
"Forward, there are not many of them! Charge, kill them all!"
The howls one after another could easily stir up the blood of the soldiers, but as their companions fell one by one, the opponent's shooters were still methodically pulling out the clusters of arrows, and the blood of the infantry quickly disappeared.
The opponent's near-artistic long-range killing skills tortured the nerves of all non-infantry,
The opponent's shooter is so terrifying that there is almost no possibility of being able to stop it, raise the shield, and the arrow cluster roars in from the gap between the erected shields, inserting into the flesh and blood behind the shield, and you can constantly see the terrifying bright red splashed by the soldiers who are shot through the body,
For the first time, the soldiers of the Falcon Empire's famous crossbowmen on the continent even began to be irrepressibly frightened.
"Forward, not backward!" the officers cheered hard, but even their own footsteps were retreating, and the shooters on the opposite side were terrifying......!
