Main text 3867 Cold wave is coming (Part 9)
On the defensive tower in the southeast of Masxingyue Bay, countless imperial infantry rushed towards the mountains and plains.
"Go forward with all your strength and enter the attack launch line!"
Captain Monique of the 4th Squadron of the Imperial Marine Corps, holding the sharp Imperial Long Arc sword, was the first to step fifty meters in front of the defense platform. In the rain, clusters of cold light shone, and the sword reflected these cold lights. The Imperial Navy assault The troops entered the attack line, and dozens of feathered arrows came towards them. They were light and inaccurate, and they looked like a joke in the eyes of these imperial warriors.
The imperial army relied on strong bows and crossbows to sweep across the Nordic Barrow. The imperial crossbow archers formed an array. No matter whether it was the imperial assault cavalry or the Gallic armored cavalry to the north, they did not dare to collide with them. How powerful they were. The sturdy Marine Corps was defeated by the Empire The collapse of powerful crossbow shooting, and the powerful crossbow used by a qualified infantry heavy crossbowman in the empire can penetrate armor within a hundred meters, but the arrow clusters shot by the Aden people in front of them from a distance of fifty meters can be blown away by wind and rain It's shaky, has poor accuracy, and flies around randomly
"Asshole, what did you shoot!" the Aden officer on the defense platform yelled angrily,
"The moisture is so great that the bow strings are loose, my lord."
In fact, this is not because the Aden soldiers have poor combat effectiveness, but because Mas Xingyue Bay is the naval port of Aden, and the Aden Navy is responsible for its defense. The defense platforms built by the Aden Navy are all super-large catapults used to block the sea, with a range of more than four meters. 100 meters, while the imperial infantry rushed directly into the 100-meter range. The Aden people could only stare at the surprisingly powerful large catapults. The large catapults could hit far, but they could not To attack nearby targets, the hurried defense tower guards could only use Aden bows to counterattack, because they had not considered the possibility of close combat. The soldiers guarding these defense towers rarely used bows and arrows on weekdays. It has been raining in Aden these days. The string of the bow was soaked in moisture, and now that it was suddenly used, the string was loose. It could shoot fifty or sixty meters, which was already the limit, let alone shoot through the armor of the Imperial infantry.
"Swish, swish, swish" The arrows sprayed from the weak horn bow came suddenly. Monique immediately raised the small buckler on his arm to protect his face. The arrow hit the buckler and flew away with a clang. There was a dull sound on the ground at Monique's feet. There were also clusters of arrows that penetrated the small shield covered with cowhide. They were naturally hung lightly on the shield. As for the arrows that hit the breastplate, they could only be seen. Sparks flew everywhere, and then the feathered arrows failed to penetrate the armor and fell to the ground, raining arrows. It looked like an amazing scene, but the damage it could cause was very small. The most unlucky thing was that the arrows penetrated the cracks in the armor leaves, causing shallow damage. It's just shallow.
"Grab it!" The 4th Marine Squadron raised their shields one by one, like a human wall moving forward. Behind the Marine assault infantry, rows of Imperial crossbow shooters suddenly stopped. , steadily aiming at the boss of the front defense platform. The crossbow arrow flew out from the string. It went straight over a distance of seventy or eighty steps and shot into the crowd of Aden people on the defensive platform. Blood sprayed immediately.
"ah"
"Help"
The feathers of the Empire's three-sided armor-piercing cone arrows tore through the skin, blood vessels, and internal organs. The fluttering of the arrow feathers stretched the wounds even wider. The wound made by the three-edged arrow was a radioactive wound, so the air leaked out when it was opened, and the blood simply spurted out! Moreover, this kind of wound would not be easy to sew even with the medical methods of later generations. The Aden man who had been hit by the arrow had blood gushing out like a splash, and he could only roll on the ground and scream in agony to fight for his life.
There was a brief fight, but the other Aden defenders couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in their hearts.
They are the Aden Navy, not the Aden Army. On the vast sea, the battleships are fighting in the sea. They don't even frown. However, they are not prepared for this kind of close combat. This is a defense platform for heavy slings. It is not owned by A defensive fortress with strong walls, not to mention none of the heavy weapons used for close combat. Even the soldiers are wearing leather armor and their weapons only have simple scimitars. How can it be compared to the imperial infantry who are covered in iron armor and have heavy shields and flails in their hands? Hard talk
Rolling and jumping like a mountain torrent, the imperial black tide finally hit the defensive platform. The sound of weapons and armor clashing loudly, and the bodies of the Aden soldiers suddenly felt unknown. It hit hard the spiked flail in the hands of the imperial heavy armored infantry. "Kill!" Captain Mokni of the 4th Squadron of the Imperial Marine Corps crashed into the mound of the defense tower. He saw only the defenders of the Aden defense tower huddled together. Get in each other's way, push each other. Not many can truly stand up to the Empire's attack troops. Facing these imperial warriors who had been killed many times from the dead, there was no room for even a slight resistance. They were like soup pouring snow, and they could not help but retreat in an instant, screaming in fear. repeatedly
The Aden soldiers who fell to the ground in front suffered injuries to their chests and abdomen, or suffered broken muscles and fractures from melee weapons. They screamed and rolled back as they fought for their lives. The Aden sailors in the back almost cried when they saw their retreating companions in front. No matter how strong they were, they were still weak on the battlefield of land battles. Their scimitars could be hailed as the dance of death at sea, but when it came to wearing strong and sharp weapons, On the land battlefield, their scimitars are not even as good as embroidery needles.
Under the rain curtain, the Imperial Navy Minister Dostronkai's sharp eyes like a falcon were paying attention to the two battlefields on the sea and on land at the same time. Some of the Imperial Navy Dragon Tooth battleships gathered in the direction of the siege defense platform, and the other part was At the same time, artillery fire was launched on the other three defense towers. For a time, the entire Mars Star Moon Strait corridor artillery fire was launched. Smoke filled the air, the sea water boiled, and rows of explosions exploded on the pier and coast of Masixingyue Bay, like a storm sweeping across. The other three defense towers also launched a counterattack unceremoniously, launching heavy missiles from the direction of the defense tower. The sling bomb crossed a distance of four to five hundred meters and set off a water column as high as ten meters around the Imperial Dragon Fang battleship.
It is not known how many Aden troops are stationed in the Mas Xingyue Bay Strait, but as a large naval port, Mas Xingyue Bay itself is actually a long and narrow island forming an angle with the opposite continental plate. There may be many Aden naval sailors stationed there. , but it is impossible for the army because it cannot supply too many army troops here.
As long as the army is not large, it will be fine. There are many sailors in the Aden navy, so the number will not be too large. Not to mention the plan to raid the royal capital that His Majesty the Emperor deliberately leaked in order to weaken the defense of Mas Xingyue Bay. Let the Aden Navy take the initiative to transfer most of the naval fleet to the waters of the Royal Capital of Aden. Judging from the current attack effect, the Aden Navy Fleet is not in Mas Xingyue Bay, and the Aden Army is not in Mas Xingyue Bay. Si Xingyue Bay is indeed an airport
"call"
Until this moment, just like a gambler who finally saw the expected number, Dostelenko used a voice that only he could hear, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed thousands of miles with half of the warships of the Imperial Navy. It looks like a swing of a long knife, but in fact it is more like a desperate gamble. Plans become plans, and reality becomes reality.
No matter how well His Majesty the Emperor plans, no matter how good the deception effect of using army offensives and false intelligence is, he cannot 100% guarantee that there will be no heavy Aden troops stationed in Mas Xingyue Bay thousands of miles away. There is a naval fleet stationed in Mas Xingyue Bay. If the Aden Army is stationed in Mas Bay, With heavy troops stationed, the Imperial Navy would have to forcefully attack Mas Bay after running thousands of miles. Coupled with the four defense towers strengthened by the Aden people, even if they could finally capture Mas Star Moon Bay, the Imperial Navy would inevitably suffer certain losses. , and then behind the Imperial Navy, there is also the main force of the Aden Navy, which is full of revenge and pounces like a pack of wolves.
Dancing on the edge of a knife, victory or defeat is just a hair's breadth. Even a small change may turn the decisive battle into a massacre. The Imperial Navy has no retreat here.
"Commander, the southeastern defense tower in the bay has been captured. The Marines are turning their large catapults and preparing to attack the nearest southwest defensive tower." The adjutant looked excited. The first defensive tower was captured, and the morale of the army was high. In great excitement, the Marines who captured the defensive platform turned around the large catapults on the original defensive platform.
3 p.m.
The defense of Crescent Mas Bay is still very tenacious. After the initial hasty battle, the Aden defenders have formed a clear line of fire. Sharp roars tore through the sky one after another, and a black dot rose in the sky, as if It was a field of sparrows soaring into the sky, and the densely packed stones rapidly expanded in the field of vision, and there was a sound in the ears. There was a sharp whistling sound, and stones as big as millstones fell from the sky with terrifying momentum, just like a dense meteor shower falling into the sea, setting off a burst of mud and splashing on the offensive route. In this terrible golden storm, flesh and blood were transformed into paper. So fragile, the attacking Imperial Marines were crushed to pieces in an instant before they could even shout for help.
"Block them." The Aden guard troops piled up a large number of carriages on the offensive route to block the advancement of the imperial infantry and tightly control the path forward. Most of these carriages were transport carriages used to load supplies. As the Aden Navy The logistics center that supports operations in the entire Central Biya region not only supplies the naval fleet, but also the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kingdom of Aden in the Central Biya region. Materials plundered from the Central Biya region are also transferred here. The reserves are so rich that they far exceed the empire’s predictions.
Dostronkai ordered the Imperial Navy's Thor cannons to begin clearing the attack route
The huge roar also gave the enemy a great psychological shock. At the location where it was hit, scattered wooden frames were flying around. But to be fair, this kind of long-distance bombardment did not have much effect on a long and narrow bay. Due to the waves and rainy weather, The impact was that the artillery shells occasionally had relatively large deviations, and even almost landed on the heads of the attacking Marines.
"Temporary cessation of fleet bombardment"
Dostronkai took the initiative to order the fleet to stop the bombardment, and the situation fell into a stalemate. However, as part of the offensive plan, he had already encountered strong resistance from the opponent. Two Imperial Navy transport ships began to dock, and more than a dozen Imperial ships were used to attack the enemy. The Thor Improved Type IV was pushed to the offensive line. As a rapid-fire gun on naval battleships, the Thor Type IV only It can be regarded as a light gun. The lengthened barrel and reduced caliber have weakened the shooting power. Moreover, it is no longer a curved cannon but a direct-fire cannon. This has greatly enhanced the accuracy and the shooting speed is faster. The advantage of the direct-fire cannon is As long as you measure the shooting distance and arc, you can basically hit it, especially suitable for attacking such a straight target.
"Bang bang bang" sawdust flew everywhere, like snow falling all over the sky. A carriage blocking the intersection in front was punched with a circular hole, and the shell pierced the carriage.
"Damn, what's going on!"
"Watch out, it's coming again!" Because the bullet fired was a solid bullet, the iron ball with a diameter of twelve centimeters pierced through the carriage in a straight line, and then a bloody rain was set off among the Aden soldiers behind the carriage. Several Aden soldiers rolled over and wailed, and the bloody iron ball continued to jump more than ten meters on the muddy ground like a fish float. On the way, the legs and feet of three Aden soldiers were beaten into a bloody mist.
"Is this possible?"
The Aden people who thought they could be safe hiding behind the carriage turned pale. In the past, they only knew that the Empire Thor would explode when hitting the target, but they didn't expect that there was such a solid bullet. In an instant, the iron ball bullets were like a rainstorm hitting the leaves, and the carriage roadblock was directly smashed into pieces. The terrible power of these iron balls also erupted at this moment. Although there was no explosion effect, the lethality caused was not less than the explosion.
The powerful solid iron balls often bounce forward several times before stopping after hitting the ground. It is these bounces that produce great lethality. Once the Aden soldiers are hit, they either fall on the spot or their bodies are torn to pieces. No one can continue to move forward with injuries. Especially when hit head-on, there will be a hole in the front and back, and it will hurt if it touches you. If you are hit, you will die.
These death bounces are not weird at all, which makes the Aden soldiers completely confused.
This is the first time I have seen such a killing method. It is like the sickle of the god of death swinging rapidly. It is impossible to defend against it. It is so fast that you can't hide. The bloody effect is so significant that it has never been seen before. The power of the rapid-fire cannon is certainly not as good as the indirect-fire cannon, but it has a fast firing speed, which can fire seven to eight times a minute. The shells poured down densely, immediately causing a large number of casualties to the Aden guards hiding behind the carriage, creating several "death roads". In the middle and on both sides of these roads, there are densely packed bloody and incomplete enemy corpses.
"Let's fight, fight the Imperial Army"
The desperate Aden defenders jumped out of the earth wall guarding the defense tower, holding various weapons in their hands and fighting with the Imperial Army. The heavy armored infantry of the Imperial Marines who had already advanced to the defense tower seemed to have encountered a strong spring rebound
The corpses of Aden defenders who died in the battle were all along the way. The corpses were winding on both sides of the road, as if adding a blood-red lace to the road. The bright red blood soaked the soil layer under the defense tower and softened it
It felt like stepping on mud, and this blood-colored lace was still growing, forming streams, flowing down with the rain,
