Chapter 90 Attacking
Although it is attacking, attacking does not mean attacking hard.

Before attacking the fort, Winters arranged for the soldiers to return to the post next to the fort, and fire up the torch to ask for help.

The rest of the people were ambushed between the fort and the post, ready to ambush the defenders who came out of the fort and wait for the opportunity to seize the door.

No one on this continent understands city defense tactics better than an officer from the Cenas Army Officer Academy. Because during the Sovereign War, the elites of the Imperial Army were killed and wounded by the Senas coalition in one siege after another.

Therefore, city defense tactics are the top priority of the army military school curriculum. Relying on the city defense fortifications, even the weak and powerless civilians can replace three elite enemies.

Because of this, in Winters' view, storming the enemy in a strong fortress is the best of the best.

The sentry on the fort saw the waving torch of the coastal post, and they hadn't noticed that the wire was cut.

Several calls were made but no answer from the coastal post, the commander of the artillery fort decided to send a few people to see what was going on.

After a commotion, the gate of the fort opened, and five soldiers walked out with the torch.

When they were more than ten meters away from the coast, the Hurds lurking in the grassy puddles by the side of the road pounced on them, while Winters, who was located closer to the artillery base, rushed with Veneta soldiers. To the fort gate.

Five Tanirian soldiers were suddenly attacked and were stabbed to death before they could even escape.

The commander of the fortress saw on the wall that his soldiers were killed by those who climbed out of the grass, and an unknown number of people were running towards the fortress.

He immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly ordered the soldiers downstairs to close the door.

This temporary artillery fort had no trenches. When the Veneta people rushed to the gate of the artillery fort, the gap between the two gates was less than a finger wide. The soldier quickly stabbed Lance along the crack of the door.

The hardwood spear squeaked against the gate, but was not crushed. At this moment, several other Veneta soldiers holding lances also inserted lance through the crack of the door, completely blocking the door.

The gates of the piers open outwards, while the gates of the cannons open inwards. The Tanirians inside pushed out with all one's strength, while the Venetas outside also pushed hard.

Several long knives were moved towards the door and stabbed from the crack of the door. The Veneta soldier who was closest to the crack of the door was hit four times in the arm, under the ribs, and in the thigh. He screamed and took two steps back and fell to the ground. on the ground.

The Tanirians in the door continued to stab out, a saber stretched too long, and the hand holding the knife was exposed. A Veneta soldier with a hatchet who was originally responsible for breaking the door fiercely slashed and cut off the hand holding the knife at the wrist.

Both sides changed into long weapons and stabbed each other through a door less than a finger wide in a clumsy, comical and extremely bloody and brutal battle.

When commander Taniria in the fort saw that someone was about to snatch the door, he immediately ordered the alarm bell to be sounded.

The alarm bell was sounded desperately, and three beacons were lit at the top of the cannon, which was the agreed signal for help.

Hearing the alarm bells, Winters knew that time was running out, and the enemies of Red Sulphur Harbor would soon come to support. He shouted anxiously and angrily: "Where's the gunpowder? Where is the person who took the gunpowder?"

"Come on, sir, come here." The soldier in charge of carrying the gunpowder answered breathlessly , he fell behind in the previous assault.

The Hurds who had solved the enemy also rushed to the gate of the fort. Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate at the fort, several brave Hurds bit their short blades and began to climb the dirt wall of the fort.

The defenders inside the artillery fort also stabilized their positions from the panic of being raided, and began to use long-range weapons to kill the Veneta people outside the wall.

The Veneta with matchlock guns and bows also began to fight back. The Hurds chopped the lance captured from the fortress and threw it as a javelin moved towards the enemy on the wall.

However, the effect of the upward attack is extremely poor, but the Tanirians on the wall take advantage of the location. So close, as long as the gunshots sounded and the bowstring vibrated, someone would fall outside the wall. Watermelon-sized stones were thrown from the wall, and the heads of the Veneta soldiers who couldn't dodge were smashed into their chests.

Snatching the wok full of gunpowders, Winters put the wok on the edge of the door, plugged the gunpowder, and shouted, "Back up."

Then , then used the fire technique to ignite the gunpowder.

The gunpowder was found in the fort, but only the gunpowder, not the airtight container. Had to latte pots and iron pots.

Seeing that the gunpowder was lit, everyone quickly dispersed. However, after the medicine was burnt out, there was only a muffled sound from the door, and there was no explosion effect at all. Looking at it again, not only the door, but also the iron pot was intact.

Although Winters used a narrow pot, and although he had sealed it as much as possible with a makeshift wooden stopper, the tightness was still not enough. The way the medicine is detonated and burnt one by one causes the gunpowder gas on the surface to blow away the gunpowder below, and the whole pot of gunpowder sets off fireworks, which is not as good as the formidable power of detonating the gunpowder pot.

The angry Winters simply gave up the idea of blasting the city gate, and this time he replaced it with a gunpowder bag with iron nails.

The gunpowder pouch is also the equipment of the musketeer of the fortress. It is not made of horn, but sewn with leather, in order to increase the lethality. Winters tied a few loops of nails to the outside of the gunpowder pouch.

This time, Winters directly shoved the soft bag through the door.

Different from the layer-by-layer ignition of the gunpowder, the fire technique directly acts on the entire bag of black gunpowder, and the black gunpowder that absorbs a lot of energy breaks through the energy barrier and explodes instantly.

With a sound of "hong", the gunpowder sac exploded violently, and the iron nails tied to the outside of the gunpowder sac were pushed by the gunpowder gas and moved towards all directions.

A nail flew through the crack of the door, ploughing a blood ditch in Winters' head. The situation inside the door will only be more tragic than that outside the door.

"Listen to my order! Hit the door together!"

The Veneta team moved towards the gate and slammed into the gate, and the gate of the artillery fort was finally broken.

The Tanirians on the wall shouted hoarsely, realizing that the gates of the battery had been breached.

"Ten Commander, you brought two people to destroy the door shaft. The others come with me!" Winters drew his sword and rushed into the fortress first.

The Veneta soldiers and the Hurds both bare their left arms, and after rushing into the fort, they will kill anyone who does not bare their left arm.

The corridor leading to the second layer of the fort is too narrow, and there is simply no place to dodge. The people in the back stand against the people in front, and the people in front have nowhere to go. You can only fight with each other.

Not only the Veneta and the Hurds, but also the Tanirians were red-eyed, and the people in the front row on both sides let out a howl that didn't sound like a human voice, and moved at the same time. towards To stab the enemy, or be stabbed down.

When the person in front falls, the person behind immediately follows.

The phalanx tactics of the ancient empires constantly replaced the soldiers in the front row, but today's soldiers no longer receive this training.

In this bloody grind, they can only fight to the death, and if the fight continues like this, everyone will die. The people in the front row fell one by one, and the back row that was temporarily safe would become the front row.

At this point in the battle, it is no longer technical and tactical that decides the outcome, but will and strength. It depends on which side has thick enough nerves and which side can hold on for one minute more; if neither side is afraid of death, it depends on which side has more people.

However, in the corridor that can accommodate three people in parallel, Winters' war knives have been rolled up, cutting the enemy like an iron rod.

He had four or five stab wounds on his limbs. If it wasn't for his instinct to practice sword technique all the year round to protect him, he would already be dead.

Winters has begun to become numb, he is no longer excited, nervous, or even afraid, just mechanically set aside the swung weapon, and then in turn moved towards the opponent's shoulder and neck slash cut.

Sorcerer, officer, none of these identities make any sense. There is no need for officers in the meat grinder, and no sorcerer, just meat.

This small corridor eats people who are alive and kicks, and then vomits bloody corpses.

Winters didn't know how many people he had cut down, but he could feel that he was advancing and the enemy was gradually retreating.

The enemy in front of you with a stick moved towards Winters slammed into the face. Winters mechanical "block-slash".

However, he was numb and did not notice that the "stick" was not a stick, but a flail.

He held on to the "stick", but the knocker, hinged at the front of the stick, went around the blade and threw a semicircle fiercely, hitting Winters on the head.

Winters only felt his consciousness suddenly become dizzy, his eyes went black, and he let go of his weapon for the first time in combat.

The flail-wielding Tanirians were just about to chase after the victory and give Winters another shot. However, the Veneta soldiers and the Hurds around Winters quickly protected Winters and carried the nearly fainted Winters to the back of the corridor.

The half-conscious Winters heard the gong and shook his head to try to cheer himself up, but there was an inexplicable pain in his skull.

The diaphragm squeezed against Winters' stomach, and he gag involuntarily, but nothing came out.

"Is it the sound of the gong?" Winters of complexion pale grabbed the soldier who was supporting him. He wasn't sure if he was hallucinating, and asked the soldier laboriously, "Did you hear the sound of the gong? "

"Sir, it's the gong. You heard it right, it's the gong."

Hearing the soldier's answer, Winters' expression suddenly relaxed, and he put out a For a long breath, blood dripped from the top of his head to his chin, making his smile a little grim: "Withdraw! Now! Warrant Officer Cellini has succeeded!"

In the tactical course of the Army Officers School, Private Winters Montagne learned only four things: set up reserves on the backslope; flank if you can't get through the front; backup plans come in handy sooner or later; and - must feint in other directions before the real attack is made .

[Army Military Academy, military cadets automatically obtain the rank of private when they enter the school. ]
There is at least one enemy of the Hundred Men Squad in this fort, and Winters never imagined that he would be able to penetrate the Tanirians through the front gate with his thirty-odd remnants and a makeshift force of slaves.

All attacks from the main gate are feints, the louder the better, the more intense the better.

After the battle at the main gate has captured the attention of all the Tanirians, Andrea Cellini will lead four sharp Veneta soldiers and the Hurds from another Climb into the fort.

Making a cannon is difficult, but destroying a cannon is easy. Andrei carried enough nails and hammers to nail down all the cannon fire doors on Iwo.

The sound of the gong was the signal that Andre had won.

The surviving Veneta soldiers and the Hurds carried Winters and quickly withdrew from the fort. The enemy inside the fort did not know the truth and did not dare to pursue it.

Winters sat on the ground leaning against the trunk, silently counting the remaining hands. There are only eleven people left here, and all of them are still alive with injuries.

Including three on Bud's side and five on Andre's side, Winters' men have already lost twenty-three men tonight, half of them killed.

Hestas, who stayed at the sortie position, was treating Winters' wounds. The old shaman wiped the wounds and then washed them with warm salt water. Finally began to chant mutter incantations with a strange pronunciation.

An astonishing scene happened. The bleeding wound on Winters' left shoulder was slowly shrinking. The wound, which was two and a half fingers long, healed at a speed visible to naked eyes under everyone's attention, and finally turned into a shallow red line.

The still-living Hurds, regardless of their injuries, fell to their knees one after another, their foreheads pressed against the soil, and they were also chant.

And the Veneta, Catholic or Protestant, saw the miracle of healing wounds with their own eyes, and they were also greatly shaken.

This is the diving technique that can "life and death, flesh and bones", this is how the Catholic Church can jump from a pagan church that was banned and persecuted to the polytheism of the ancient empires and become an ancient church. The reason for the state religion of the empire.

I wonder if anyone sees such a diving technique and can't fall under the altar of Catholicism?

“Old Master, don’t waste the dive technique on me.” Winters grabbed Herstace’s hand: “Go save the others.”

Hestas Snodded, and turned to other people's wounds.

When the Hurds were cleaned by the old shaman, they were all proud and proud, and it was an incomparable honor for the Hurds to have Hestas handle the wounds himself.

The Venetas shunned the heretic "witchcraft" of Hestas, and some Venetas who were too seriously injured and had to be treated by the dive technique also trembled. Reciting the Lord's Prayer and the Rosary.

The Hurds glared at the reluctant Veneta.

"It's so fun! I've nailed all the fire doors of their cannons to death! [Andre's poor vulgar words]! Where did these tani guys get such a good deal? Cannons? But it's all nailed to me!"

Before seeing anyone, Winters heard Andre's gruff voice.

"Can't you tell me if you destroy so many cannons without giving us a one-kg medal? Can you? Ah..." Andrei's tone was excited, shouting loudly. boasting of his merits.

In the regulations of the Veneta Army, crucifying enemy artillery in combat is equivalent to capturing enemy artillery. Officers below the lieutenant colonel are directly promoted to Level 1, and soldiers send money to go home and become small landlords.

However, seeing the tragic situation of the Veneta and the Hurds who were in charge of feigning the main entrance, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Andre walked over to Winters, crouched down, looked at Winters' stab wounds and almost blood-dyed red coat, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother...Are you all right?"

"It's alright, it's all minor injuries." Winters lost all blood on his lips, and asked with a miserable smile, "All the cannons solved?"

"It's solved, they're all nailed to death." Andre nodded, he thought about it, and added: "The heavy cannons in the cannon are thirty-two pound bronze cannons, and they are all long barrels. Tanies should not have the ability to cast such cannons. I really don't know where they got it from."

"It's good to destroy it." The last stone in Winters' heart also fell to the ground, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry about them from Where did the cannon come from, let the great character above worry about this kind of thing, our work is done."

Another footstep came from the south, and Bud also brought two Vines with him. The tower people returned to the agreed meeting point.

"How's it going? Are you in touch?" Winters anxiously wanted to stand up when he saw Bud come back.

"Don't move, don't move, just sit tight." Bud quickly held down Winters and said softly, "We've got in touch, our warship has set off."

Bud pointed to the direction of the bay: "Look, it's already here."

Budd pointed to the direction of the bay. p>

The sound of artillery came from the direction of the entrance of the bay, and behind the hazy tree shadows, the warships sailed into the Red Sulphur Bay one by one.

The Veneta soldiers shouted excitedly.

The Hurd people saw this scene and realized that they were going to go home. The hard-hitting men also burst into tears at the moment, hugging each other and crying bitterly.

Winters, Bud, and Andre also smiled with relief.

 …

 …

The sound of artillery, and heavy artillery, made the leaves tremble.

Winters' expression was horrified...no, in the wrong direction...the sound of the cannon came not from the entrance of the bay, but from the second cannon at the waist of the bay, the one that had just been attacked.

Winters and Bud stared wide-eyed looked towards Andre.

Andre was about to burst into tears: "I...I...I really fucking nailed the fucking fire door!"
