Chapter 26 Under the Night Attack

The noises on the sea of ​​Fort Wiscarri were filled with Venetian roars and shouts. They didn't care whether it would attract the attention of the enemies in the night. In their opinion, this castle was already in their pocket. Listening to the sound of the wooden oars rising and falling and hitting the water, Ranieri gave the order. "Keep the front," and at this moment a gust of sea breeze trembled slightly. Looking at the vulnerable Fort Wiscarri in front of him, he felt a little uneasy.

Although the castle at this time had already soared into the sky and was in chaos, the Water Gate had already come into their hands.

At this time, all the warships were in place and lined up to war formations. The decks of each ship were lined up with archers. In the cabin, there were even infantrymen who had already climbed up the city and rushed in. However, Ranieri adopted a conservative offensive method. The entire fleet was in a shuttle-shaped formation and drove straight into the tide. In this way, if there was any accident in front of him, he could react immediately. After all, the battle situation changed rapidly in the naval battle, no matter how many ships were, it was useless. Once the warships were crowded together, the paddles were delivered and they conflicted with each other, his fleet would become the target in the eyes of the local area.

However, the conservative combat method adopted by Ranieri seemed to be very disdainful of George's border beside him.

"Your Excellency is too careful, just like a woman holding her nightgown. The castle now is like an unguarded city. Even if the guys from Moria are willing to resist, it is not worth mentioning." George Border Bo sneered sarcastically. The defenders who had been watching here for several months were not only depressed, but also had average weapons and equipment. If you see the Venetians killing in, you will probably not have the fighting spirit to continue.

When Ranieri heard this, he felt the first time not that he was displeased by the other party, but that he was surprised at how calm the man betrayed his compatriots.

However, it is not surprising to remember that the Crusaders themselves went to Constantinople by the invitation of Alexei IV. This is why they hate the nobles and emperors of the Byzantine Empire very much. Although they possess the glorious title of the Roman Empire, they have been infected with the habits of many Eastern empires after hundreds of years of decay. This kind of palace conspiracy has long become an integral part of their lives!

However, despite thinking so in his heart, Ranieri did not dare to underestimate the subsequent battle. Although the powers of the empire had lost their honor, the Venetians had seen how powerful the civilians in this country were since the siege of Constantinople. In the past two years, both the Latin Empire and they were both worried by the Greek resistance forces in Crete.

But now everything is over!

Only the warships ahead sounded the horns-

Ah wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu

After rushing through the surging waves, the Venetians launched the general attack after receiving the signal of the general attack.

However, such a big fanfare still made Ranieri very unhappy. "These pirates can't count on them." As the forwards, they actually ignored Ranieri's orders and sounded the horn.

"Speed ​​up." Ranieri roared. At this point, he could only order the entire army to advance to fight the Byzantines. He only heard the sailors shouting horns while rowing the oars hard. On the deck, the infantry held their spears tightly, while the archers checked whether their bowstrings were debugged and were ready for a bloody battle at any time.

The warship quickly approached the water gate of Fort Wiscari, and Ranieri saw from a distance that the city gate had opened without any cover in front of him, but the feeling seemed to swallow them all...

For some reason, he felt that this battle was always something wrong. Everything went too smoothly, which made him a little scared. But then Ranieri comforted himself in his heart. How could the Greeks, who had lost Constantinople, still have combat power? The next attack was just a small episode in his life.

However, even so, Ranieri carefully ordered the fleet ahead to be careful not to be careless. Under this terrain, the opponent only needed a giant iron rope in front of them, which was enough to stop them from moving forward.

He was about to think carefully, but time didn't wait for anyone. A burst of cheers came from the warships in front. It turned out that the warships of the forward had arrived at the water gate of Fort Wiscari, and they were not attacked by anyone at all. This undoubtedly inspired everyone. Then the warships in the rear automatically increased their speed of movement.

The originally sparse ships quickly moved downstream and marched towards Fort Wiscarri. But this undoubtedly violated naval common sense. Such a fleet is easily attacked, but for the soldiers on these ships, it is more important to enter the city faster than anything else.

Only when the war horns roared, the cheering soldiers beat the war drum violently, and the oars rose and fell. Since the water gate had already controlled them, half of the castle had been obtained. It was for this reason that Ranieri, who had hesitated for a moment, did not order the fleet to temporarily delay the entry into the city, but rushed to Fort Wiscari in one go, preparing to give the Byzantines a fatal blow.

At this moment, the narrow bay originally looked narrow from a distance, but now Ranieri's eyes are as vast as an endless ocean, and the Fort Wiscarri in front of him is getting bigger and bigger. It has to be said that this castle is very different from what I saw in the past few years. The repaired walls and the steep rocks under the fort are undoubtedly a good place to defend and difficult to attack. Unless there is a strong fleet, you can enter the port to attack the city, it is no wonder that the Niceans have to ask for them.

Now Ranieri's uneasiness in his heart was wiped out, because he had arrived here and could not see any signs of ambush or raid from the enemy, which means that the stupid Greeks really did not notice their attack at all.

It was time to make these stupid and arrogant guys pay the price! Ranieri sneered in his heart, but he did not notice that in the darkness of the other side of the bay, a group of Byzantines were secretly watching what was happening in front of him.
