Chapter 724: Battle of Bishui Port (IV)
A transport fleet in a sea area outside the Blue Water Port.
A sentry boat that had just left the front-line battlefield was speeding towards the transport ship where Willy was.
"Stop! Who are you?"
"It's a friendly force! I'm a marine from the fleet! I'm here to convey an important message to the deputy commander!"
After the marine on the sentry boat proved that he was indeed a friendly force, he was allowed to approach the transport ship where Willy was and board the ship.
As soon as he boarded the transport ship where Willy was, the messenger ran towards the room where Willy was without stopping.
As soon as he saw Willy, the messenger reported to Willy in an irrepressible joyful tone:
"Deputy commander! Great victory! Great victory on the front line! The enemy fleet and naval base in Blue Water Port have also been destroyed, and there is no enemy ship still floating on the sea!"
After listening to the messenger's report, Willy's half-closed eyes slowly opened.
A ray of light full of excitement and excitement burst out from his eyes.
"Raymond." Willy said to Raymond who was sitting beside him, "Help me tell the whole army to prepare for the landing battle! Before dawn, completely take over the beachhead of Bishui Port!"
...
...
The transport ship where the 1st Squadron of the 17th Battalion of the 4th Army was located was very fortunate to be selected as one of the vanguard troops in the landing battle.
Under the hard paddling of the sailors and the blowing of the night wind, the vanguard troops responsible for the first landing slowly sailed towards Bishui Port.
The soldiers on the transport ship were doing the final equipment inspection.
Darlene slowly pulled her long sword out of the scabbard.
The snow-white sword body reflected the dazzling silver light, which shot on Darlene's light golden eyes.
The palms of both hands secreted fine sweat due to nervousness.
Although she has participated in many battles, Darlene still can't get rid of the habit of getting nervous before participating in the battle.
However, although she still feels nervous before the battle,
but after the battle starts, Darlene will be very magical and quickly calm down.
Perhaps it was just as Lindsay had said to Darlene before—Dallene was a natural soldier, a natural warrior who could easily keep calm during battle.
Woohoo!
Whoosh!
Boom!
Although she was inside the cabin, Darlene could still clearly hear the sound of breaking wind outside, which she had already heard a lot during the attack and defense of Avalon Fortress.
That was the sound of the boulders of the catapult and the giant arrows of the siege crossbow cutting through the air.
As for the strange "boom boom" sound, it must be the sound of giant arrows hitting the sea water.
When the fleets of the two countries launched a decisive battle on the sea, the land defenders of the Blue Water Port seized this precious time to build simple fortifications on the beach.
The landing troops of the Knights of Michael could only land towards the Blue Water Port under these huge stones and giant arrows.
"Dalina." Yara, who was sitting next to Darina, whispered, "What do you think will happen if our ship is hit by a boulder or a giant arrow?"
"Nothing." Darina wiped the sweat from her hands, "If it is hit by a giant arrow, our ship will sink, and if it is hit by a boulder, we will become meat sauce."
"Don't talk about such terrible things."
"Then don't ask me such obvious questions."
"Listen to me!"
At this moment, the loud voice of Lindsay, the squadron leader of the 1st Squadron of the 17th Battalion of the 4th Army, echoed in everyone's ears.
"Everyone, check your equipment one last time! Put on your armor! Put on your helmets!"
"In about 5 minutes, the landing operation will begin!"
"When the landing operation begins, remember to hold up your shields! Don't put them down for a moment!"
"Good luck to everyone! I also wish you a great victory in this battle!"
As Lindsay's words fell, Darina silently put on her helmet and hung her long sword back on her waist.
…
…
The ship—stopped.
The door of the cabin—opened.
Before the door of the cabin was fully opened, revealing only a hole just big enough for people to get out, Lindsay drew out her long sword with a "swish": "Follow me!"
In addition to the 1st Squadron of the 17th Battalion of the 4th Army, there were two other squadrons in this transport ship.
The captains of these three squadrons, including Lindsay, took the lead.
And their subordinates followed closely behind.
"Charge!!"
"Kill!!"
Swish!
Darlene raised her shield with her left hand and drew her sword with her right hand. She rushed out of the cabin while shouting along with her comrades around her.
The transport ship stopped on a shallow beach where people could cross the water.
After jumping off the cabin, Darlene jumped into the cold sea water.
It was winter now. As soon as her feet stepped into the sea, the biting cold climbed up from her feet and spread all over her body, causing Darlene to shudder.
However, Darlene had no time to care about her cold feet now.
Whoosh!
As soon as Darlene jumped off the cabin, an arrow flew past her scalp.
The dense rain of arrows came like locusts.
Darlene was so scared that she quickly shrank her whole body into the shield. She had no mood and no spare energy to care about the cold sea water under her feet.
The land defenders of the Blue Water Port had already built simple fortifications on the beach and were ready for battle.
As soon as the cabin of the transport ship was opened, a volley of arrows was fired at the open hatch.
Many of the Knights of Michael were shot to the ground before they even had time to jump off the cabin.
Although the defense line of the land garrison of the Blue Water Port was simple, it still caused great trouble to the Knights of Michael.
After all, the beach landing battle is the same as the siege battle, in which the defenders have the upper hand. If the attackers do not have superior forces and tricks, they will definitely not be able to win the battle.
The vanguard troops who successfully jumped off the cabin rushed to the beach in the dense rain of arrows and stepped on the sea water.
"Disperse! Disperse!"
Lindsay, who was at the forefront, did not forget to command her subordinates.
"Don't gather together! If 5 people gather together, they will be concentrated. If you all disperse, you can consume the enemy's arrows!"
Thanks to Su Cheng's emphasis on discipline training after taking office, the strong discipline of the Knights of Michael was fully demonstrated at this time.
Although it was the first time to launch such a beach landing operation, and although the enemy's arrows were so dense, the soldiers did not panic. Under the command and order of the superiors, they advanced forward in an orderly manner.
However, the firepower of the beach defenders was really strong, and the arrow reserves seemed to be unlimited. Like locusts, a rain of arrows rose from the beach defenders' defense line and pounced on the soldiers of the Michael Knights who were landing.
The total number of the vanguard troops participating in this beach landing was 5,000.
There are about 1,000 soldiers who have arrived at the shallows and started the landing operation.
Every time these 1,000 people move forward, dozens or even dozens of soldiers will fall.
The blood that kept spurting out, but it took only a few minutes to dye the entire shallows red.
The sea water was dyed a bright crimson, and the mud, stone, dust and sand were dyed a strange purple-black.
