Chapter 21: The Battle at the Docks

The sailors of the Iron People, under the orders of the captain's first mate, began to adjust the crossbow arrows.

A counterattack followed.

The crossbow built on the Iron Folk sailboat began to fire at the dock to the slashing crowd.

The palpitating sound of crossbow arrows sounded,

Arrows pierced through the blood mist and stumps into the thick floor of the docks.

The cavalry regiment responsible for the first wave of ambushes fought against the opposing Iron Mariners in melee slashing.

The enemy has calmed down from the panic at the beginning.

The cavalry could barely push the formation to the dock stop, forcing the iron people who disembarked along the planks to return to the ship.

However, the formation of the Cavalry Regiment can only advance to this point.

Further on, it's tough.

The opponents are not soft persimmons, they are several times more fierce and ruthless than ordinary pirates.

If you don't have the advantage of terrain, use the small space and queue advantage to suppress the opponent and let the enemy attack completely, the consequences are unimaginable.

However, for every half meter of advance the ambush team in front of the pier, two or three soldiers had to be killed.

Kung Fu in the blink of an eye.

More than a dozen corpses had been piled up on the long wooden bridge at the wharf, and the blood had completely dyed the coastline red.

"Stay in formation!" yelled the Cavalry Captain.

A powerful crossbow sword shot not far from his feet, but fortunately it was not far off, first piercing the body of an ironman sailor, and then, with inertia, crashed through the tight formation of the cavalry.

The dog is from the second echelon of the queue, and at this time it is about to be arched into the first queue.

Because, almost all of the ten soldiers of the cavalry regiment in the first echelon of the squad were sacrificed.

Although the dog wanted to turn his head to see which guy had been pushing his knees against his ass, this position annoyed him.

But the innate discipline of the Riders worked.

If attention is drawn away by movement behind you, the front becomes the most dangerous area.

He stared straight ahead with wide eyes, and after the death of his comrades in front of him, he had to immediately go up, preferably taking advantage of the situation to make a small sprint, chopping off the head of an enemy, and pushing the formation forward a little further.

The dog clenched the long knife in his hand, panting and ready to attack.

In terms of individual soldier ability, the Iron People born in the cruel environment of the Iron Islands have always been much stronger than the Cavalry Regiment.

However, in terms of combat discipline, it is much worse.

Looking at the crossbow arrows shot from behind, it was his own people who kept killing.

The ironmen and sailors on the dock kept turning their heads and shouting angrily, and in the small space where the battle was fighting, there was a sudden scolding.

"Blind, aim and shoot!"

"Mr. Ganli, pig teammate. ”

In close combat, the iron people in the fierce battle are not comfortable, and the iron people on the ship are not much better.

The fishing boats leaving the port have been arranged in advance at the fishing village port, and they have been outflanked at this moment.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Harry Kane led the archers out of the cabins of the two fishing boats,

On the deck of the Iron Folk merchant ship, the sailor's butt who was debugging the ballista was a random shot.

Under the front and back attacks, the Iron Man sailors were completely panicked, and it was too late to dodge, so naturally there was no accuracy at all.

The cavalry group on the dock ambushed the team, and suddenly the pressure dropped sharply.

Harry Kane pulled an arrow from the quiver and shot it through the head of an ironman sailor who was about to fire the ballista.

The next moment, I found out.

The enemy on the ship closest to him seemed to have completely abandoned control of the ballista.

They hid in the fishing boats of the archers, the blind spot of the field of vision.

This is an ostrich strategy, it will not help at all, no one will make such a stupid choice on the battlefield.

There must be something else going on.

Harry Kane, the commander of the archers of the Cavalry, was puzzled by this.

A moment later, there was a roar of wailing and slashing from the boat on the other side.

This made him even more confused.

"Could it be that there is a mutiny on the other side's ship?"

Seeing that the other party did not return fire, he began to climb onto the mast of the fishing boat.

Glancing over with his peripheral vision, he saw that the sailing ship on the opposite side had opened the hatch down from the deck, and several knife-holding monsters that seemed to be like dried corpses poured onto the deck from under the hatch.

For a while, the iron people and the dry corpses gathered around the hatch door, strangled together.

"What kind of monster is that. ”

Harry Kane gasped.

He looked at the other boat's ship in amazement, a dry corpse shaped like a withered corpse was slashed by the iron people's knives, and it didn't even fall down immediately.

Harry Kane's eyes were drawn to the strange scene on the ship, and when he came back to his senses, he found out.

The fourth ship of the Iron Islands fleet was also in chaos.

The ironmen sailors on the ship, like crazy at this moment, began to raise the anchor that had been originally lowered.

The moment the anchor was raised.

The ship couldn't wait to move.

They have no wiser choice to leave the battlefield,

Instead, they fled into the sea, and yes, the ship was rushing straight toward the shoreline.

Harry Kane looked surprised, "Are they crazy?"

It's a shallow area over there, aren't these people afraid of running aground?

Fishing village on the city wall of the port.

Hood, the leader of the guards, pointed to one of the Iron Folk fleets and said, "My lord, the enemy has raised his sails and anchored and is about to flee. ”

Lynn narrowed his eyes and met Hood's point, and after a moment he shook his head and said, "No, the direction of the bow is the coast." ”

Hood soon realized that Lynn was right.

"Are they going to go ashore by running aground? why, is it...... My lord, are they going to bypass the dock and attack the city defense of the fishing village port directly?"

Lynn didn't answer, he was equally confused, and it seemed like a possibility to think about it.

If the other party is ready to fight to the death, it will not be good.

All of their troops were sent to the docks and fishing boats.

If you wait for the opponent to regroup on the beach, open up the formation.

Not only does his side have no advantage in numbers, but when the strength of individual soldiers is insufficient for the opponent, it is estimated that the scene can easily get out of control.

Lynn saw this, and the guard Hood also knew that it was powerful, and if the other party forcibly landed and fought in the field, the lord's cavalry regiment might not be an opponent.

He swallowed his saliva in hindsight and said hesitantly: "My lord, why don't you let the team withdraw to defend the city!"

"Don't panic!" Lynn frowned, "The Iron Folk sailors on the first ship were entangled in an ambush by the Cavalry Regiment, and the fifth ship was bitten by our crossbowmen, they couldn't have regrouped so quickly!"

Lynn's words woke Hurdra up in an instant, if it was just a ship of sailors rushing over, protected by the city walls, the fishing village harbor would not be so easy to breach.

He remembered his duty, as the only team defending the city wall, he did have less manpower.

He called the names of the two guards, "Go and mobilize the residents of the city to guard the door, hurry!"

At this moment, the guard in charge of the watchtower on the city wall shouted, "Look, is that the pirate ship from Bite Bay coming? Damn, aren't they dead?"

Lynn also saw targets at sea level.

The ship flying the flag of the Three Sisters Pirates appeared in the sea not far away, moving rapidly along the coastline from south to north.

Lynn is slightly fluted.

But his eyes shrank instantly, and a shallow smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The system had already promoted him to complete the territory occupation task a few days ago, and it was obvious that that the ship would never be a Bite Bay pirate.

It must have been Rodat who returned with the infantry regiment.

Lynn said indifferently: "Our reinforcements have arrived. ”
