1488 The Battle of Life and Death in Rwanaca (7)

The sea of Atwood Sea City is not deserted, since the last attack, the Atwood people have used all the ships that can be driven, and the range of 50 miles above the sea is under strict surveillance.

The braziers were set up at the top of the masts, and as soon as they spotted the approach of the Falcon Navy, they immediately lit the wood piled up by the braziers, and the smoke that reached into the sky could be seen on the vast and unobstructed sea, even from a distance of twenty miles, and at night, the light of the fire could be seen from the location of the sea city, and the people of Atwood were the most primitive of the invention of guò, which was originally used to prevent pirate attacks, and built a cordon in the sea outside the harbor

At night, there are no stars in the sky, but it does not affect Statunko to observe the city full of lights in the distance with the help of the telescope in his hand, Atwood Sea City is indeed the city as its name suggests, the whole city is built on an alluvial plain formed by the mouth of a large river, surrounded by water on three sides, one side is connected to the land, the whole city is like a huge port, the position by the sea is a wide port, a huge arc formed by the inward bend, and finally constitutes the basic outline of the whole city,

It is a city that stretches out from the port, and from the high hills it looks like a huge paw shape, dense urban buildings, spreading from the back of the port to the impact plain,

Through the lens of the lookout glass, Statunko could faintly see that in the southwest corner of the city, a part was obviously missing, leaving behind the remains of the burned wreckage, which should have been left by the last bombardment by the Falcon Army, the Atwoods cleaned up some of it, and some of it was obviously not all removed, the port that was once full of wreckage, there were several new docks under construction, and the spire of the port was planted with the flag belonging to the Southwestern Army, fluttering listlessly in the night wind,

Because of its special status, Atwood Sea City has always been used as a naval port. Directly belonging to the empire, not like the northwest coast, and the northwest and other regions are in a separate situation, precisely because of the separation of military and government, the division of military districts and urban districts is very obvious,

The scouts sent by Statunko almost effortlessly found the target of this operation in the military camp east of Atwood, more than thirty makeshift grain warehouses, on this plain that could be seen at a glance. There is really nothing to block the sight of the zài,

According to the news brought back by the previously dispatched spies, there were 4,000 defenders in the local garrison, belonging to the 7th Army Corps of the Southwest Army, and on the way to the camp, there were also two infantry corps of 7,000 people, one on the left and one on the right, guarding the road to the granary.

That's where you need to consider. The Southwestern Army was also a battle-hardened force, and it had not yet become careless to the point of being completely undefended, and in order to avoid being detected by the city of Atwood, the sneak attack force disembarked from the fleet fifty miles away this time.

Then he ran fifty miles at night, and unknowingly went straight to the target, this time it was 3,000 cavalry of the Southern Army and 1,000 cavalry of the Central Guards directly under the fat man, a total of 4,000 elite cavalry troops.

This is already the limit that the transport fleet can carry at one time, and the size of the war horse is different from the person, and the volume of the war horse accounts for the volume of two people. Although there were only 4,000 war horses, they accounted for 8,000 people, and with the cavalry, the actual transportation of 12,000 people this time,

The fat man's order to Statunko was to set fire to the grain of the Southwestern Army's garrison in Atwood Sea City at any cost, and then quickly break away from the battlefield, and the cavalry obviously had a unique advantage.

"Hope for a qiēshun lì!"

Statunko looked at the sky and said to himself,

It was the second half of the night, the dew was heavy, the ice was biting, most of the armor was stained with a layer of frost, exhaustion pressed on everyone's face, the barracks that had to be passed through Guò were quiet, only a few sentries sat by the fire and talked about something,

"It seems that the other party didn't notice it! Order all squadrons to prepare!"

Statunko ordered in a low voice, and the dense Falcon cavalry behind him jumped up to the mound in front of him, the night was like a shadow, almost completely blocking the view, no one noticed, a faint black long line appeared on the mound more than 2,000 meters away from the barracks,

"Forward!"

The black cavalry began to be like the flowing water in China in the dark night, countless black lines slowly advanced in the direction of the barracks, the air was filled with a kind of Xiao killing before the big battle, Statunko was also a little nervous to squeeze the reins of the war horse, the surrounding quiet was terrible, the suddenness was the main factor of this raid, whether it could ignite the food of the southwest army before completely alarming the enemy on both flanks became the key to the success or failure of the whole battle, because the weather was cold, and this was the big rear,

Most of the guard towers in the camp of the Southwest Army were empty, and the sentries inside were either sleeping or baking fires, so that when the cavalry troops advanced to a hundred meters from the camp, a guard tower to the south rang a rapid bell

Boom"

Statunko suddenly pulled out the sharp war knife at his waist and slowly raised it high, the snow light of the sword was like a raised battle flag

"Rush!"

With a shout, the swords fell, and the cavalry like a landslide, like a cluster of arrows galloping, rushed out of the line queue in a row, and at six o'clock in the morning on December 3, in a somewhat faint morning light, the falcon cavalry rushed into the barracks of the Southwest Army like a divine soldier,

"Enemy attack!"

Before the mournful shouting was over, the hooves of the falcon cavalry had already rushed into the camp of the Southwestern Army,

The cracking of the horse's hooves was like a storm sweeping across the earth, and at the moment of contact, the tent of the Southwest Army camp was blown down like a strong wind blowing down weak grass, and the heavy horse's hooves stepped directly on the soldiers of the Southwest Army who were still asleep, and the soldiers of the Southwest Army were killed and fled in all directions, and some of them just ran out of the tent, and saw a piece of war knife like snow, and countless cavalry with spikes hanging on the front of the horses, swooping down from the front like an avalanche, and the companions fell to the ground one after another, and crawled on the ground in fright

"Forward!, rush over at any cost!" Statunko shouted,

Passing through the camp is the granary, the falcon cavalry who heard the order forcibly passed through the front of the southwest army camp, the southwest army camp was like a sieve shot through by countless arrow clusters, the impact of 4,000 cavalry was enough to make the camp chaotic for a while, the falcon cavalry rushed to the granary at the back of the camp, and at the same time took out a leather bag containing crude oil from the war horse weapon trough and threw it at the granary, the leather bag smashed heavily on it, exploded like foam, and splashed black crude oil inside,

Statunko slammed his spree, drew his crossbow, lit the white cloth wrapped around the top of the arrow cluster with flint, and shot it at one of the granaries.

Boom, the fierce flames exploded in the wound of the granary, like a carnival of flames,

The flames burned from one to the other, and more than thirty granaries were ignited in a few minutes like dominoes that had been overturned.

The scorching flames burned half of the sky, and even Statunko, thirty meters away from the granary, felt a burning pain

"Get out of here!" Statunko shouted to the rest of the cavalry (to be continued......
