The enemy's two two-masted galleys, as well as the three three-masted battleships, continued to approach the dock.

The two two-masted galleys were propelled straight by the ship, while the three three-masted battleships were advancing in a zigzag pattern.

The five enemy warships, as they advanced, carried out long-range weapons attacks on the battleships on the shore.

In the midst of one sound after another, the ships on the dock were beaten to sawdust, and even the stones on the pier were shattered!

Fortunately, the sailors on board had fled to the fort behind the dock.

However, these soldiers also know that this fortress is not completely safe - under the strong attack of the opponent, the stone wall that originally looked very strong is also likely to be destroyed by the opponent's medium weapons!

......

Now, Teresarini and the prefect of the fort stood in the fort by the docks, and they looked out through the narrow observation hole in the fortress.

There was still one frightening sound after another outside.

The opponent's attacks began to advance more and more towards the land.

Soon, here

"Our heavy defensive weapons are all on this side of the fortress. The commander who defended the fortress said to Telesarini, "If the fortress is destroyed...... I had to go to the inner wall and defend it with light weapons......"

"I hope that the weapons of the enemy's ships will not reach the walls behind. Teresarini said with some uncertainty.

"According to the current range of the opponent's attack...... I estimate the next ...... It's hard to say......" The commander of the fort shook his head, looking helpless - in the face of such fierce fire from the enemy, they had no ability to fight back so far, and there was no way to stop, or even weaken the opponent's attack.

"Perhaps, when the other side lands, we will be able to gain the advantage of close combat in the tunnels. "When the time comes, when the enemy lands, we may be able to attack them with the heavy weapons in the fort!"

At this moment, outside the stone walls of the fortress, a loud bang suddenly sounded!

"They're attacking our fortress!" the commander of the fort tensed.

"Two sir, it's too dangerous here...... Retreat to the rear wall and direct the battle!" a soldier ran over with great concern.

"How are the other soldiers?" asked the commander of the fort to the soldier.

"They...... In the midst of the assault just now......" the soldier said, pausing, and then adding, "we have suffered heavy losses! But...... However, our giant crossbow can't reach the other party's ship at all!"

"There's no need to stay here...... Let the front-line commander retreat with all the soldiers here!Let's retreat to the wall behind to defend!" The commander of the fort continued, "Here, you are waiting to be beaten! Hurry up! Burn these giant crossbows, don't let the other side take them! Retreat quickly!"

......

The commander who defended the fortress was also Telesarini, who had almost lost his fleet, and was now safely evacuated to the wall behind the pier.

"It's a pity...... "The commander of the fort shook his head slightly, looking at the raging flames on the fort in front of him with some regret.

And the chief of the city wall here is watching and planning.

"Oh no, no!" a herald ran over breathlessly, "and the situation is a little different than we thought!"

"What's wrong?!" the commander defending the walls was surprised.

They thought that the soldiers of the other side would land directly at the dock, however, the current situation is not like this!
