Chapter 25: Manov's Command (Part II)

The garrison of Cankula Harbor has a total of 5,000 people, of which 2,000 people under Manov are the main force, and the Sea Clan has sent a total of 30,000 ground troops this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

However, this went too well, General Norval thought to himself, he was the commander-in-chief of this attack on the port of Cankula, and the order from above was to let him destroy the city and take the governor of Hisari away at a devastating speed, the purpose was naturally to cover up some of the methods they used to recapture the Poseidon Scepter and completely blame Hisali, after which even if the Saran Empire protested, it would not be able to produce strong evidence to prove that it was the fault of the Sea Clan, and the relationship between the Sea Clan and the Human Empire would not deteriorate because of this.

What a naïve and visionary idea ...

Although he was reluctant to do such a thing, the commander of the 18th Legion of the Sea Clan, Noval, had received the order to complete it, and as soon as he approached the port, he covered the land with magical cannonballs, destroyed the first wall with powerful firepower and opened fire again after the opponent landed on the second wall, he thought that in this way, he could destroy the enemy's living force to the greatest extent, but the opponent's resistance was too weak, and indeed they had achieved good results, but as the troops of the Cancy Fortress were so powerless, this made Noval feel that something was wrong。

After waiting for more than ten minutes to find that there was indeed no enemy outcropping, the ground forces of the Sea Clan began to land, and the vanguard of 4,000 people wearing special armor weapons arrived at the ruins of the second city wall in just twenty minutes, and some broken parts were scattered under their feet, and some soldiers picked them up and looked at them carefully, but found nothing wrong.

"The enemy is only five kilometers away from us, and it is expected that it will be within our range in about three minutes. The herald next to Manov ran over and reported.

"Calm down, the number of this group of enemies is about four thousand, let all the magic archers, artillerymen, and musketeers show me the right time to fight, and the accompanying magic envoys also give me concentration, be sure to inflict serious attrition on the enemy at the first time!" Manov turned his horse and ran to the defensive line, and in front of him the herald conveyed his order at a faster pace.

Three minutes later, when these Sea Clan vanguard troops came to a relatively flat place, they saw what seemed to be a hellish scene for them, a rain of colorful magic arrows suddenly burst out and covered them, and the Sea Clan warriors who reacted tried to defend and dodge but were blown up by shells with destructive energy and could not find the north.

"There is an ambush! The commander of the Sea Clan vanguard shouted at the somewhat chaotic warriors beside him, he tried to calm the troops down but before they could finish speaking, they were knocked down by bullets from nowhere, the commander's fall made the Sea Clan warriors even more panicked, but fortunately, they had undergone various trainings, and they did not flee in the face of such a situation and were able to organize their counterattack.

"The flames of hell give me extreme heat, dissolving in the sea of demonic blood and turning into an abyss of life!"

The huge dark gate appeared among the Sea Clan warriors, infinite black flames poured out, and the lives entangled in it were all scorched into nothingness, the seventh-order Demon Fire Abyss, a high-level magic that could only be cast by the joint efforts of all three magicians under the command of Manov, under its ravage, more and more Sea Clan were killed, and the closer they got to death, the more people died.

With more than 2,000 Sea Clan warriors buried in an ambush that caught them off guard within ten minutes of the battle, Noval looked at the horror displayed in the telescope, his face bruised, and he turned back to the command room to pick up a teleportation crystal.

"All the gunboats tell me, as soon as the enemy appears within our attack range, they will immediately cover the fire, and send out death squads to attract the enemy into our attack range, so that the remaining fighters in front will immediately retreat!"

Shhh

Manov raised his sword and slashed a number of Sea Clan warriors one after another, and he suddenly found that the enemy began to retreat, and his own subordinates naturally wanted to pursue, and immediately shouted loudly.

"Everyone, don't chase me, stay put!"

"Commander Manov?" Grant, who was killing happily on the side, looked at Manov in puzzlement, although his command ability was not as good as that of the other party, but he was not willing to stay on the sidelines, so he also brought the most elite subordinates to fight, and now the situation is very good, more than 3,000 people are fighting against more than 1,000 people, and Manov does not let him pursue, which makes him very puzzled.

"If we continue the pursuit, we will be within the range of the enemy's shelling, and you can see the power, if the enemy completely covers the battlefield regardless of his own soldiers, then the losses on our side will be large, and the enemy will obviously outnumber us, and the soldiers cannot be sacrificed meaninglessly. With that, Manov turned and ran towards Hisali's place, leaving Grant to digest his words.

Syllable!

The cup in Noval's hand was crushed by his life, he found that he had underestimated his opponent, so he lost more than a thousand people and the enemy's living force did not seem to have been wiped out by the previous shelling, and it was proved that the vanguard was so fast that there were a lot of enemies, and according to the intelligence, the strength of the Cankula Harbor was only 5,000 people, and it was impossible for reinforcements to arrive so quickly, so there is only one explanation, that is, the enemy directly withdrew from the second wall before, and the figure who climbed the wall may just be a disturbance.

"That half-hung governor Hisari is useless on such a battlefield, and the commander of the garrison, Grant, is just a mediocre man brushed down from the regular army, it seems that the enemy's commander is Manov, and he really deserves to be an officer of the Cancy Fortress, and he really can't be underestimated," Noval put down the fragment of the teacup in his hand and said to the adjutant beside him: " The enemy has only 5,000 people at most, and we use the tactics of a sea of people to press up, leaving 5,000 people, and the other fighters are all on top of me, and if we find that the situation is not right, we will quickly retreat, of course, more than 20,000 people will fight 5,000 people. ”

"Lord Noval, do you want to?" the adjutant said in disbelief as he looked at Noval, who had a hint of madness in his eyes.

"I don't want to do that until I have to, the crowd tactics should be successful, if you are still repulsed, at least you have to give priority to ensuring victory, I hope you don't go that far." ”

"Yes ... The adjutant bowed his head and replied, thinking in his heart that even if their combat skills on land were inferior to those of the enemy, a fourfold gap would make up a lot for the regular army.
