- Section 2 Assault on Tacoma
Beside the port of Yuriwan City, groups of militia soldiers wearing leather armor and holding spears and swords in their hands stepped onto the battleships with loud slogans. On the wide ocean, one after another, many ships battleships lined the ocean with partially unfurled white sails.
Lin Fenghan stood on the huge Hailan flagship, looking around with his hands behind his hands. One ship after another was swimming in the water like a white swan. On the wide battleship, many soldiers stood on the deck, sharp bronze The spear flashed with green light, illuminating everyone's eyes. One after another, ships loaded with cargo and soldiers left the port shore and approached the fleet on the Caspian Sea. On the wide ocean, hundreds of ships were lined up together. The huge fleet brought a huge and majestic temperament, which made everyone Everyone who noticed the fleet felt excited and their confidence doubled.
At noon, the huge fleet had been completely loaded. With the last shipment of bread sausages and personnel arriving on the cargo ship, the Elante army finally completely left the land of the northern continent.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Lin Fenghan looked at the 400 warships arrayed in the inland sea covering an area of ??more than ten square kilometers. Lin Fenghan waved his hands, and the huge fleet sailed south amidst cheers.
On the afternoon of March 6, 1921, the 10,000-man Elantra main force had been prepared, and the squadron transport ships were gradually gathering on standby. 7,000 troops from the expeditionary force landed one kilometer east of Takojian in advance. At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was no longer scorching, the 100 Elantra expedition fleet began to move towards the Tacojian fortress and port at the northernmost tip of the Vico Mountains.
when!
when!
when!

In the large fortress of Takojian, the huge copper bell kept shaking, and many fortress soldiers looked at the large fleet that appeared in panic and shock. The top commander of the fortress, General Smitra, who was dressed in military uniform, raised his hands coldly and shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, we have discovered their previous troops half an hour in advance, and have prepared mortars and crossbows." , bows, arrows, javelins, and flying spears, and recovered more than a dozen of our warships docked in the port. We also sent cavalry messengers to the west and south to ask for help, but they cannot defeat us."
"yes!"
Another captain came out, and Sternobut raised the black iron sword in his hand and said loudly: "Our Takojian Fortress was built purely for war. It is located at a height of more than 700 meters. More than 120 kilometers At the northernmost end of the long Vico Mountains, our fortress is built on the mountain, part of it next to the cliff and part of it on the mountain. The northernmost wall of the entire fortress is more than 50 meters above the water. The shortest east wall is more than 30 meters above the ground. meters. The entire Takjian fortress is one kilometer wide from north to south and about one kilometer long from east to west, covering an area of ??more than one square kilometer."
"The fortress was built on the cliffs of the hills that slowly descend from the mountains. All the bricks and stones are locally sourced and very strong. The external city wall itself is three meters thick. Outside the city wall. Except for unavoidable reasons, the rest of the terrain gradually lowers, and the location is very Special. With the tall and thick city wall and more than 3,000 of our city defense soldiers, as long as we concentrate on the garrison, even if 100,000 people come and take less than half a month, they will never be able to capture the Takojian Fortress."
The deputy general of the Takojian Fortress, Stenobut, excitedly introduced the origin of the fortress and its powerful and indestructible attributes. After hearing his speech, many soldiers gradually improved their morale. General Smitra of the Takojian Fortress saw this. He smiled slightly and raised his arms. shouted loudly.
"Brothers, in the more than 100 years since the fortress was established, the Southern Senvi rebels and the Eastern nobles have been unable to directly pass through our fortress several times with their troops. But now are you still worried about your fate?"
"No!"
"We don't have to worry about failure, we don't have to worry about being captured. We don't have to worry about failure!"
"Because we are in the best fortress in the southern continent of the kingdom, a nearly insurmountable fortress. Don't look at the many ships and enemies coming outside. Even if the number triples, we still have to stay outside our fortress. . This is our bunker, our house."
"Well said, General!"
"very good!"
"What do we have to fear if we stay in such a thick city wall?"
"Duke Brant has raised us for so many years, it's time to repay him."
"yes!"
"I will defend Takojian City to the death."
¡°Never back down!¡±
"Long live the Fortress of Takojian!"
"Long live His Royal Highness the Duke of Brant!"
¡¡
The Guards soldiers were the first to laugh, and others also laughed. The archers standing on the city wall three to five hundred meters away also laughed, and everyone was nervous and flustered.The whole thing was swept away.
700 meters away, Lana, Coland, and Ramsay, who were sighing at the mountain walls, were suddenly stunned. They looked at the laughing enemy soldiers on the wall and suddenly became angry.
Korande pointed at the Takjian Fortress distressedly and said: "This fortress is surrounded by the sea to the north and west, and the slope of the east hillside is more than 40 degrees. The ladders we temporarily made here are useless at all, and it is difficult for pile hammers to reach them. Under the attack, we climbed up the 200-meter hillside and attacked the city gate. What should we do?"
"Why!"
"yes!"
Ramsay hugged his helmet and sighed helplessly: "I am very good at cavalry and plain field battles, but if you ask me to attack a city fortress, I really have no idea, especially for such an extremely strong fortress. There is nothing we can do, what do you think we should do?"
"The most important thing is that I doubt whether our bronze cannon can knock down the east wall. You know that the north and west sides of the fortress are built on mountain walls and cliffs. At an angle of 90 degrees or 80 degrees, our soldiers can't even climb We can¡¯t go up. If we can¡¯t break this wall, we won¡¯t be able to capture this fortress at all.¡±
At the same time, intense discussions were going on on the Hailan.
Ali frowned as he looked at the fortress thirty to fifty meters above the sea and said: "Yi Liuyun, the location of this fortress is too high. The angles of the guns on our battleships are basically fixed, and the adjustment range is very small. This The city wall facing the north is basically very high. Our fleet cannot hit the city wall at 700 meters. According to my calculation, the city wall naval gun that wants to hit this position needs to be at least 1.5 kilometers away. Outside. But the accuracy of naval guns will be greatly reduced beyond 1.5 kilometers. It¡¯s embarrassing! It¡¯s embarrassing!¡±
"Oh! Yes!"
Lin Fenghan stood on the observation deck on the third floor of the Hailan and observed closely with a telescope and said: "The northern city wall is too high from the sea. Our army cannot break through from here. If the army wants to truly break through this strong fortress, it must be like this Do, my plan is"
