1599 Gallic Winter (I)
The seventeenth hour of the typhoon operation
In the middle of the night, the sea crashed on the side of the warships that stopped on the sea, making a fluctuating sound similar to that of a grunt, and the transport ships of the Falcon Army were like ghosts in the night, pushing the waves slowly, because all the warships had already left the port, and the port lacked the most basic patrol measures, and there was no news of the arrival of a large number of transport ships.
There were no stars in the sky, and in Hukochili's lookout glasses, the light from the direction of the distant coastline was the best indicator for the transport fleet, and under the faint light, the sea looked calm like a soft satin spread, and a whole large area without the slightest flaw, and the sea water reflected the shaking lights, which seemed so transparent and deep,
"It's beautiful!"
Hu Keqili's eyes flashed with a hint of emotion, the surface of the sea water was dyed with a layer of light red, with the shaking, turned into a shallow looming water pattern, several soldiers were squatting in a corner of the port, sitting in front of a bonfire, the battleships staying in the port were almost invisible, compared to the huge inner bend of the length and width of a thousand meters, a few small warships, so that the entire port card gave people a feeling of emptiness, the transport fleet entered five hundred meters, dense and huge transport ships, like a black cloud floating from the sea,
"Now, let's go!"
Hu Keqili put down the lookout goggles in his hand and waved his hand behind him, he had never commanded the navy, but he had a considerable grasp of the fighter plane, the name of the famous general was by no means exaggerated, but a battle of life and death tempered out, with the order issued, a little fire on behalf of the attack flashed out on the sea,
Because the time of disillusionment of the fire was only a few seconds, and it was late at night, it did not let the defenders on the island notice, and at this moment the island's defense was completely blank, and the main force of the fleet was not the navy. I never dreamed that the other party would be so bold, the fleet was only a few hours away from the island, and the other party dared to send so many transport ships to kill directly, you know, for the battleships armed to the teeth, these transport ships full of soldiers are a group of meat pressed on the chopping board,
The courage of the opposing commander can no longer be described as bold, but arrogant! Extremely arrogant! "Commando!" With the low orders from the captains of the ships, the transport fleet on the sea came to a neat halt. "Bang Bang!" The small boats about eight meters long were like swarms of insects that had broken away from the parent body, descending from the huge sides of the transport ship to the sea with wheel axles, and each small boat carried eight crossbowmen and two heavily armored assault infantry, and more than 200 small boats, carrying 2,000 assault soldiers on it, headed in the direction of the port.
At the head of the assault team was Ronald, the leader of the 5th Guards Squadron of the Central Army, who was standing on the bow of a small assault ship, whose hair was wet with the sea and the fog of the night. The fire in the distant harbor reflected in his pupils like a flame, he was a veteran of the Falcon Army, who had fought in six battles and felt as casual as breathing air about war. He fastened the clasp of his chain mail and held a steady crossbow in one hand, and the assault fleet was already less than a hundred meters from the port.
All the soldiers were paddling violently with the prepared wood pulp, and the boats were like big fish breaking through the waves. Rushing straight towards the target, the Falcon Army's black armor seemed to be made for darkness, in the absence of sufficient light. It was difficult to spot the soldiers on the boat, a huge gate appeared in front,
Following the current at the other end of the gate, the boat rushed into the harbor fifty meters, and the assault fleet was already illuminated by the fire on the shore, "The crossbowmen are ready to clean up at a fixed point!" Ronald shouted, and the crossbow in his hand began to rise, although the opponent's defense seems to be close to a vacuum at present, the Gangnons still have a garrison regiment stationed on the island of Adonis, and the number is still five thousand,
With the departure of the fleet, the garrison soldiers who rarely appeared in the port also hid in the buildings of the port in twos and threes, at this time, a soldier who came out to relieve the gang, just in the dark place of the corner, overheard the sound from the direction of the sea, he turned his head curiously,
Suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him, he saw that in the black curtain shrouded in the sea, countless small boats full of soldiers were pressing like a huge fan, and the cold light of the soldiers' eyes full of murderous intent and weapons on it exuded a bone-chilling aura in the middle of the night
"Ah, there are enemies......"
The soldier's panicked and terrible shouts came to an abrupt halt in the quiet of the night, and a crossbow arrow pierced his weak throat from fifty meters away, making his voice sound like a drum with a broken cover, only a hoarse hiss "Kill him!",
Almost at the same moment, countless crossbow arrows shot from the sea hit him like a storm,
More than 200 powerful short crossbows with armor-piercing arrows hit the same target, and the battle-hardened Ronald was also frightened by the scene, and the blood of the soldier who was hit by the arrows rained down from his body pierced by the crossbow arrows
The Gangfei soldier who was full of arrows, the whole person was shot back again and again in the blow, and finally leaned against the wall, paused for a full minute, before sliding to the ground like a noodle, continuous blows, so that the outline of the corpse of the Gangfei soldier was gone, and any place on the body that could be pierced into it was pierced with more than three arrow clusters, and now it was completely a bloody flesh mass full of sword clusters, and a large amount of blood was splashed out of his body on the wall, clearly like a blood-colored humanoid that was printed on it, "Bell!"
The alarm bell from the harbor rang powerfully in the night, and the calm of the night was suddenly broken, "Attention, there is an enemy in the harbor!" The barracks on the island were lit up one by one, "Bastard, what the hell is going on?"
The port defense officer, Aymanlei, hid in the window of a room near the port with a miserable face, revealing half of his head, and looked at the port gate slowly being opened by an unknown enemy with a frightened look, and the water that was closed by the gate flowed into the inner bend of the port.
According to the information provided by the Southwest Navy, there is a huge reef under the entrance to the port of Adonis, which is the core of the southwest sea, and it is easy to cause large warships entering and leaving the port to hit the reef in the case of poor water flow, and the builders who built the port at the beginning took advantage of this, if they did not let go of the gate used to regulate the flow of water, the large warships that tried to force their way into the port were good if they hit the reef and finally blocked the enemy's way into the port!
The sudden outbreak of the situation, so that many port defenders did not understand the situation at all, they ran out in a mess to see what the situation was, and as a result, they became a live target for the falcon archers, the port guard officer Aimanlei used his own personal guards as the main trunk, a temporary assembly of a team of 100 people, who knew that he had just emerged, and was overturned by the dense and accurate arrows on his horse, if it wasn't for his fast, now he is also one of the members of the pile of corpses lying on the port, which cannot be blamed for his lack of good at fighting, it can only be said that his luck is too bad
He is so far, in the battle of less than 5,000 people, he has encountered 1500 senior crossbowmen at one time, such a number of top senior crossbowmen, even in the Falcon Empire, which is known as 100,000 crossbowmen, is also the family background that the central army of the empire can come up with, such a number of senior crossbowmen appear in the 100,000-level battle, or they can't make the enemy feel demonic and terrible, but at the same time concentrated in the thousand-level battle, as their opponents, they can only cry
The senior crossbowman is the soul of the Falcon Army, the worst of them is also a super shooter who can penetrate the throat of the target at a distance of 100 meters, if it is excellent, he can even break through the opponent's armor defense within 00 meters, from the gap in the armor of the hoplite, and kill the target of the heavy armor defense, in the ordinary Falcon Empire troops, the identity of the senior crossbowman is often equal to a squadron leader, if the senior crossbowman retires, it is also reviewed according to the general middle and lower officer qualifications.
Because there are few targets that appear, the hungry senior crossbowmen will not let go of any target that appears in their sight, and some people even secretly engage in a shooting competition, for the same target that appears, someone quickly shoots the head, but there may be others who also pierce the throat of the target, but there is a shaking white tail feather firmly inserted in the chest, showing off who is the winner, 1500 senior crossbowmen's fierce point shooting, the suppressed defenders do not dare to show their heads at all "boom" With a sound of water colliding with the business, the floodgates were completely opened, "Fleet forward!" Hukochili's solemn face finally showed a smile of relief, if the navy opened the way to Adonis, and he really opened the door to the island, the rows of transport ships began to enter the inner bend, in order to be able to pick up Adonis in one fell swoop, the Falcon Majesty Xià mobilized two-thirds of the navy's large transport ships in one go, carrying 21,000 soldiers, such a huge transport fleet, once attacked by the local navy, it is simply unimaginable.
Although the naval fleet on the island has been lured away, no one dares to guarantee that the other party will not kill a single one!
Therefore, since leaving the port, the fleet from Hukochili down has awakened the spirit of twelve points, and does not dare to take it lightly in the slightest,
The convoy escorting the detachment was also in a decisive posture,
As soon as there is a stir, immediately carry out a destructive blow at any cost,
This landing, whether it is the main force of the navy that attacked, or the transportation capacity in terms of shipping, was used to the limit,
Because of this, Hukochili knew very well that the arrow drawn by His Majesty the Falcon had been shot, and he was only allowed to win, not to turn back......!
