- Chapter 17 The Battle of Deep Water Bay (5)
The closest point between Deepwater Bay Port and Deepwater City is close to 600 meters, and the average distance is generally about 1,000 meters. The port serves many social functions based on a deep-water river and a natural triangular continental shelf.
On the deep river and moat flowing out of Waterdeep City, iron pillars, stone pillars, and wooden piles firmly control the beginning of the river, preventing large enemies from sneaking in.
The soldiers of Brandt were condescending, standing on the five-meter-high city wall. Both their bows, arrows and javelins had tremendous power after being accelerated, and they could still kill and injure the enemy within 200 meters. The repeating crossbows and machine crossbows set up on the city wall made Elante's soldiers dare not step within 300 meters of the city wall.
Lin Fenghan stopped on horseback four hundred meters outside the due east city gate of Deepwater Port, staring at the city wall. The surrounding Elante Legion soldiers stood together and lined up outside Waterdeep City.
On the center wing are 300 heavy infantry, 200 heavy knights with swords and dismounted knights, and 600 heavy pike infantry arranged on the left and right wings. The second row is the center wing with 300 pulley longbow archers, the right wing with 200 heavy halberd mixed infantry, the left wing with 500 Senvi longbow archers, and 200 buckler light infantry. The third row is composed of 200 light armored spear recruits and 300 light armored buckler auxiliary infantry. The fourth row behind and the fifth row were lined up with more than 1,500 navy sailors, sailors, oarsmen and 50 various types of ballistae, catapults and trebuchets. 200 heavy cavalry and 200 light cavalry respectively stayed in the front and center of the mixed battle formation.
Nearly 5,000 people lined up 1,000 meters across and 700 meters deep outside Waterdeep City in a mighty and majestic manner.
Kelande looked at such a majestic army with great admiration, and asked Lin Fenghan in confusion: "Baron, why haven't we waited until now to attack the city? Besides, I think that our many troops should be dispersed to the four city gates. They surrounded us.¡±
Colander followed in confusion: "Baron, I feel that we should have sent people to block the northern and southern city gates just now. The archers fired arrows fiercely, and the catapults and siege troops kept smashing the city gates. If we do that, at least now we can take down some of the weak walls.¡±
Lin Fenghan looked at Kelande. Kelande and the others slowly shook their heads and said seriously: "If I do that, we can indeed capture Waterdeep City by force, but we will definitely pay a heavy price. The residents and soldiers of Waterdeep City will have to pay a heavy price." They will fight against us desperately. That is not the result I want. What's more, our army did not have all the men at the front and rear. The chaotic attack on Waterdeep City simply cannot reflect the value of the new army. I want to be a military strategist and a Excellent general, I must win the war and get what I want at the minimum cost."
Lin Fenghan looked at Kelande, Kelande, Pulet, Rana, Rafa, Vera and others and said seriously: "Our Elante Islands are too small, and our army cannot withstand the consumption of death. We are now from landing to Now it took 20 minutes to deploy the army and arrange the battle formation, thereby shocking the enemy, intimidating them, reducing their will to resist on a large scale, allowing them to surrender without fighting, thus consuming a small amount of power to obtain a complete Waterdeep City. "
"We used Waterdeep City as a base, quickly retreated after plundering the resources of Waterdeep City itself, and headed south. The main task of this battle is to plunder resources and further attack Duke Brant's naval fleet. Other things are secondary. Yes, the power of the army is precious. We cannot consume our only strength for secondary things. As a general, this is something you must understand in the future."
Lin Fenghan looked at everyone who nodded slowly and seemed to understand, then he patted his horse and led the general guard to 200 meters away from the city wall.
"People above, listen, I am Baron Yiliuyun, the lord of the Elante Islands. Today I led an army of more than 10,000 people here to avenge my father-killing enemy, Duke Brant. I will not treat irrelevant people. Go hurt them and now ask your leaders to come out and talk.¡±
The loud voice spread in the battlefield. Lin Fenghan tightened his grip on his shield and reins and looked at the archers on the city wall warily. If the situation went wrong, he would immediately turn around and leave.
"More than 10,000 people! Oh my god!"
"Brag!"
¡°Look at so many people, maybe it¡¯s true!¡±
"Hey! We might lose."
¡°It¡¯s not that we¡¯ve lost, we¡¯re definitely going to lose.¡±
"The person shouting looks so young! I heard he is the lord of Elantre!"
"He is the Baron of Elantra?"
¡°You look so young!¡±
¡°I heard he¡¯s under 17 years old!¡±
"He's here to seek revenge."
"He won't hurt those innocent people. That's great. If I can't beat him in a while, I will run away."
¡¡
Many voices of discussion sounded from the city wall. The city wallThe officers above quickly informed the city lord and city defense general of Waterdeep City of Lin Fenghan's shouting.
At this time, under the eastern wall of Waterdeep City, Baron Bratt looked at the soldiers around him with a livid face, and cursed loudly to the people around him: "These are our soldiers in Waterdeep City, and none of them even have swords and shields." .¡±
"The spearmen were standing staggering around, as if they had just drank wine."
"Look at the archers with bows here and there. They look disheveled. Even the arrows on their bows and arrows are rusty."
"Is this our military weapon long sword? It's just a rusty sword. I feel that a butcher's knife is more powerful than him."
"These people are our army? How come it doesn't look like there are 2,000 people?"
Brat suddenly turned around, looked at Emerton angrily and said, "General Emerton, are you sure this is the elite army of more than 3,000 people you mentioned?"
Emerton nodded with an ugly expression and whispered: "Baron Bratt, we have four walls, and the other walls are also very important. On the east wall, I have tried my best to mobilize nearly 1,800 troops. As for their looks and equipment, although It¡¯s not pretty, but it¡¯s more than enough to hold the wall, after all we haven¡¯t had a war in many years.¡±
"You bastards, do you really expect these people to be able to defend Waterdeep? I deeply doubt it." Baron Brat waved his hands and said fiercely.
Suddenly, a guard next to Emerton shouted: "Isn't it your fault? If you hadn't embezzled our military pay, would we be in such a miserable condition?"
¡°Asshole!¡± Brat roared and jumped up like a rat whose tail was caught.
"Who said that?"
"Which bastard said that?"
"You have the guts to say it to my face."
Brat pointed at an old soldier wearing civilian clothes and holding a rusty spear and said: "Tell me, where is your leather armor? Where are your weapons?"
The veteran in his forties or fifties lowered his head in embarrassment and said bitterly: "Lord City Lord, I only get a little more than 1 silver coin every month. The salary is too small and I have been embezzled a lot from above. I can only sell fruits on weekdays. It¡¯s a hard life collecting tolls for a living! I had no choice but to sell my leather armor.¡±
"What? Damn it, where's your boss?" Bratt yelled, pointing around the spear veteran. A spear centurion with a brand-new leather armor, a bright spear, and a slightly plump figure of over forty stood up and said in a low voice.
"Your Excellency, Baron, I only received one-tenth of my salary. As for the other vacant silver coins, they were not issued!"
Brat¡¯s face turned green and red, and he yelled: ¡°You bastard! Come on, get him¡±
"Reporting to the city lord, Lord Yiliuyun of Elant is calling for formation outside the east gate and has asked the top officials of Waterdeep City to come out." The young light infantry shouted breathlessly.
"You're lucky, I'll take care of you later, let's go." Brat pointed at the spearman Centurion Long Nose, and angrily led the city defense general up to the city wall.
The moment he climbed up to the city wall and looked out, Baron Bratt's face suddenly turned pale as he looked at the Elante Army standing silently, the darkness filling most of his field of vision, and he unconsciously took a step back.
Brat tremblingly asked the soldiers beside him: "How many people did Yi Liuyun bring here?"
The archer centurion beside him was shocked and hesitated, and said uncertainly: "Listen to him introducing himself to more than 10,000 people."
"More than 10,000 people!"
Emerton was shocked and said in disbelief: "Brag! The total number of people in the Elante Islands and the sea around him does not exceed 40,000. How could he get 10,000 soldiers?"
"But are this large group of soldiers fake now?"
Brat took a deep breath and walked to the front of the city wall pavilion, stood behind the parapet, and said to Lin Fenghan forcefully: "Your Excellency Yi Liuyun? Why did you lead your troops to sneak attack my brother's ship and occupy me? harbor? Surround my city gate?"
"Are you Baron Bratt?"
Lin Fenghan's face was stunned, and he replied seriously: "Your Excellency Blatter, you are asking questions knowingly. Duke Brent sent people to assassinate my father and attack my castle. I almost died in my territory. Now I Leading my army to attack here is for revenge.¡±
"I came here to find justice."
"It's just and legal."
Lin Fenghan drew his sword and pointed angrily at Bratt, and said coldly: "Your Excellency, Baron Bratt, I have led ten thousand troops across the sea. Currently, there are more than 8,000 people standing here. I also have more than 2,000 navy troops. Patrolling the outer sea. As long as you open the gate of Waterdeep and give up resistance, I will let you leave intact, otherwise you will die and go underground.Buried with my father. "
¡°More than 8,000 people!¡±
Bratt trembled all over, holding on to the city wall with weak feet, fearful, furious, and hysterically yelled: "You bastard! Your father died at the hands of pirates, and you said it was related to my brother, but you have nothing to do with me! "
"Even if it might be my brother who did it, he has something to do with me! I'd better take people to find him directly! I finally obtained this rich property from my father, so it's easy for me!"
"You occupied my seaport, expelled my soldiers, attacked my city, and plundered my property without saying a word. I swear that I will be incompatible with you in this life."
Brat¡¯s face turned red and he cursed angrily. His rogue and rough language shocked everyone.
Lin Fenghan said in a low voice with a hint of shame: "It's useless to talk more! Anyway, you are all members of the Brandt family. I can only seek revenge from you."
"I'm ready to attack. If you old guy knows what's going on, ride away quickly, otherwise the sword has no eyes."
Brat became so angry that he shouted crazily: "You go ahead and start fighting! Our city defense is strong and I am not afraid of your attack. I advise you to leave with your men and horses immediately, otherwise I will make you hate and fight." this."
"snort!"
Lin Fenghan snorted coldly and ran towards the military formation with the general's guards.
