    Chapter 29 The Battle of Cape Watch (2)

    In the majestic Cape Watch port, the commander of the Eastern Fleet, General Heifer, was inspecting the warships and rationing the sailors. The person who inspected the affairs received a letter from the messenger.

    "Report to the general, our reconnaissance ship has set off fireworks, and Elantra's fleet is attacking again. The specific ships and number of people are under investigation. The mayor and the commander of the central station fleet inform you to go to the harbor meeting hall immediately."

    Heifer frowned and looked up at the southern sky, and said angrily: "Damn, here it comes again. Fortunately, I suffered a loss once. This time I spent a lot of effort to set up a warning circle."

    "Come here, order the sailors and sailors to prepare immediately, land on the warship, and prepare for battle. I will go and discuss it carefully."

    General Heifer stopped what he was busy with and walked towards the discussion hall of the harbor.

    In the spacious meeting hall, Viscount Lulinsen, the mayor of Cape Hope City, General Makar, the commander of the stationed Central Fleet, as well as the city defense general Tutus and the Central Staff and entourage were discussing in the conference room with serious faces.

    "Baron Elantra is so courageous. He actually dares to attack our city of Cape Watch. You must know that Cape Watch is located in the middle of the eastern part of the Kingdom. It protrudes from the southern continent and is at the tip of the mouth of Dambreth Dolphin Bay. It is an important strategic location.  . The city wall here is thick and it ranks among the top ten in the country. He, a small baron, dares to lead a team to attack here. He is really looking for death!" Viscount Lu Linsen said with contempt.

    City defense general Tutus shook his head with a serious face and said seriously: "Currently, 3,000 of the 4,000 troops stationed here are on their way to Waterdeep City. Elantra doesn't know how many troops are coming at this time. I heard from Baron Bratt  There is a message that the Elant army has a mysterious long-range trebuchet. From a distance of more than 700 meters, a single cannonball can collapse the wall of Waterdeep City."

    "Bragging! This is Baron Bratt making excuses for himself. I knew him when I was a child, and he was just a lazy, greedy and playful waste. He was extremely insincere. No one of my generation liked her."

    Viscount Lulinsen asked General Heifer, who had just walked through the door: "General Heifer, have you seen the huge trebuchet used by the Elant fleet in previous battles? Do you believe that Waterdeep City is eight meters thick and three meters thick?"  Will the meter-wide city wall be knocked down by a trebuchet in one fell swoop?¡±

    "This question is difficult to answer, because I didn't see them using such powerful weapons when I walked out of the Deepwater Port. When I forced my way through their naval blockade, I didn't pay attention to the walls of Waterdeep City." General Heifer  He replied cautiously.

    "You didn't see the walls of Waterdeep City collapse, right! I feel that Baron Bratt's words are definitely full of lies. After the sneak attack on Waterdeep City. I have recalled all sailors, sailors, and officers, and now our  The navy has more than 2,000 people, large and small ships, and together with your total of 70 warships, we are absolutely capable of resisting or even defeating the Elantra Navy." General Makar, commander of the Eastern Fleet, said proudly.

    "Yes!" City Defense General Tutus nodded rigorously and said: "Haiwang Cape City still has more than 1,000 city defense troops, plus the private soldiers of the nobles and the urgently recruited citizens to form a militia, we can gather 4,000 people.  Combat power. We also have 20 trebuchets and 50 ballistae for defense in the harbor. I can also move 100 ballistae from the city. It is definitely more than enough to defend the port. I can conclude that it will be difficult for them to land ashore."

    "Very good!" Baron Lu Linsen nodded excitedly and said proudly: "General Heifer, General Tutus, and General Makar, we have arranged a ballista defense position at the port, and the city of Cape Watch has strong defenses. First of all, we will  Already invincible.¡±

    "The Elante army wants to protect Waterdeep and attack Cape Watch. They claim to have an army of 10,000 people. Even if they discount it by half, they must be about the same number as us!"

    "Now is the time for us to show our true abilities. This time we must severely damage the Elantra fleet, seize the opportunity to capture Waterdeep City, and completely deprive Baron Brat of his territory. I want to make Brat's grandson regret that he stole a woman from me.  ." Lu Linsen clenched his palms angrily and laughed.

    "Yeah!" Squadron Fleet Admiral Makar glanced at Heifer thoughtfully and nodded in agreement.

    Looking at the three people who all felt that they could fight, Heifer nodded hesitantly and said helplessly: "Okay! My ships are ready for war, but I want to tell you that Elant's bows and arrows are particularly powerful and can shoot  From more than 150 meters to 200 meters, their ships are equipped with ballistae, and long-range strikes are particularly powerful."

    "Don't worry, General Heifer. Inspired by the Elantra fleet, this time our entire Eastern Central Division fleet has been equipped with ballistas and machine crossbows. All ships have been properly repaired, and each ship has at least two  FrameCrossbows and numerous archers and crossbowmen, if they really come, we will not suffer in terms of long-range firepower.  "

    "For the sake of safety, our fleet is parked in the northern waters of Cape Seaview protruding from the mainland, right next to our protruding ballista position. If the Elantra fleet attacks the Cape Cape port first, then the fleet in the waters of Dolphin Bay north of the port will  We formed our formation and attacked to break them up and hit them from both sides.¡±

    "If they attack our fleet first, then wait and see how they attack. Our huge city defense trebuchets on the coast can throw 100-pound stone projectiles 600 to 800 meters away, and the trebuchets attacking the sea can also shoot 20-pound stone projectiles 400 meters away.  To 700 meters, the distance of the ballista is a little closer, but it can definitely shoot 300 to 500 meters away at the ocean level.¡±

    "If the firepower on the other side is really fierce, then our fleet will enter the coast to accept defense. If they are not strong, then we will directly engage in naval battles, and finally forcefully use our claws to seize the close combat. Our Cape Watch city can supply our ship personnel at any time.  resources they cannot afford to consume.¡±

    General Makar confidently patted his chest and analyzed. Everyone listened carefully and finally nodded with satisfaction and decided to start the war.

    On the eastern ocean, the five Kamikaze Express ships in front of the Elantra quickly ran ahead to explore and conduct reconnaissance.  The Elantra fleet had been destroyed in just 15 nautical miles, and five ships of various models were captured, many of which were not warships at all.  The mayor of Cape Watch hired them to stand guard with fishing boats to face these people.  In order not to slow down the main fleet, Lin Fenghan punished them with most of their wealth and then let them leave.

    At eleven o'clock, by this time, Elantra's soldiers with good eyesight could vaguely see the city of Cape Watch looming in front of the ocean.

    Lin Fenghan ordered with a serious face: "Order the fleet to slow down. The soldiers will eat some bread, cold vegetables, and dried meat first, and wait for the battle."

    "Yes!" the ordering soldier quickly ordered.

    Lin Fenghan, Vera, Kelande and others also picked up the bread, rice, and vegetables brought from the flagship cafeteria of the Hailan and ate them.

    ?? Ancient wars, including modern wars, consume a lot of physical strength and energy.  Only by eating a full meal first and reserving energy in your body will you not feel hungry, lack of energy, weak feet, and weak hands in the middle of the battle, leading to being chopped off.  Only by eating enough and storing energy can we better improve our chances of winning the war.
