Chapter 86 Dune Castle

The cannon at the entrance of Chisulphur Bay is located on the west coast of the bay, and there is another small pier fort located on the east coast of the bay, facing the cannon across the sea.

Both ends of the sea-blocking iron chain at the entrance of Chiqiu Bay are fixed at the cannon barricades and piers respectively.

The structure of this pier is very simple, it is nothing more than a square shape made of four rammed earth walls. The bottom edge of the square pier is more than ten meters wide, and the wall height is more than six meters high, about two floors.

In the defense system of the old era, this pier was completely unavailable, it was purely four earthen walls. It was not steep enough, nor high enough, and there was not even a shooting hole on the female wall.

In the defense system of the new era, this kind of fortification that has blind spots, lacks artillery, and is purely highly defensive.

However, for Winters, a light infantry team that lacks siege, this pier is still a tough and hard bone to crack.

On the top of the Dunburg, the Tanirian sentinels were also drowsy. In order to prevent the enemy from approaching quietly from the woods, the trees within thirty meters of the Dunburg had long been cleaned up. Under the bright moonlight, nothing could be hidden.

For the Tanirians who defended this pier, the excitement and tension of the ambushing the Venettas that day had long dissipated, and in this war they did only tiresome stand guard, stand guard and stand guard.

A few muffled sounds sounded, and the half-sleeping sentry suddenly woke up by the sound of knocking. He shivered, held his breath and listened again, and then there were several muffled sounds.

This time, he confirmed that it was not his auditory hallucination, and the sound was coming from under his feet, neither near nor far away.

The sentry drew out the armed sword, walked lightly to the female wall, and looked down carefully.

As soon as he stretched out his head, a dark hand suddenly stretched out from outside the wall and grabbed his collar. The next moment, the sentry only felt a strong force coming from his neck, dragging him directly outside the wall.

The sentry screamed and fell down the high wall in a back-plant posture, broke his neck, and died.

Immediately afterwards, the two shaved hair, naked, and black all over their bodies were smeared by the ash and black mud, and flipped over the female wall. In order to hide their bodies in the dark, they had nothing to reflect on their bodies, and even the only short knife they carried was baked into matte black.

Winters lurked on the edge of the woods with the rest, watching the actions of the two Hurds. These two were warriors Hestas picked out of all Hurds, the best at climbing.

No Vineta could climb a six-meter high wall with bare hands, even a rammed earth wall. However, the remaining soldiers and slaves who lacked siege weapons wanted to attack this pier, the only way was to send someone to touch it and open the pier door.

Winters silently watched the two ghostly Hurds approached the pier quietly and began to climb up. At this moment, even if Winters was an atheist, he suddenly wanted to pray.

But he still heard the sound he least wanted to hear, screams and the sound of landing. He didn't know whether the sound was made by the Hudders or the Tanirians, and the two Hudders had disappeared from Winters' vision.

"I've been discovered, change the backup plan!" In the quiet night, the scream was clearly heard even if Winters was more than 30 meters away, let alone the defenders in the Dune Fort. Seeing the sneak attack failed, Winters immediately ordered: "Come with me, even if we all die here, we have to destroy this iron chain!"

As soon as the words were finished, Winters stepped out, and rushed to the coast with his spellcaster and his craft. The others were stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed out of the woods.

Everyone steps and runs hard, and the night attack turns into a strong attack, so there is no need to tiptoe.

This pier is located on the high ground on the coast. The end of the iron chain is fixed inside the pier, extending from the holes in the pier wall to the water surface.

Unlike the cannon base in the middle of the bay, this pier is less than ten meters away from the sea, and the shore of the iron chain is within the range of the pier cast weapon. It is impossible to destroy the iron chain under the noses of the defenders without being discovered.

But the plan to seize the Dune Castle has gone bankrupt, so I can only force it.

However, something that no one expected happened. A bright line appeared at the gate of the pier. The bright line became wider and wider, and the door slowly opened.

Winters saw a hole in the door, and he didn't have time to think too much, and waved and shouted, "Snatch the door!"

The door opened less than a meter hard, and the people inside screamed and wanted to close it again, but it seemed that something was stuck again.

Within a few steps from thirty meters, Winters pulled out his battle knife and roared and jumped into the gap between the two wooden doors of the Dune Castle.

There were six or seven Tanirian soldiers inside the gate. When they saw the figure flashing in, they were stunned. However, Winters, who had experienced many life-and-death battles, did not give the other party any time to react, and slashed the enemies beside him fiercely.

It was not until Winters almost split a Tanirian into two parts that Tanirian soldiers realized what was going on.

They shouted and stabbed Winters with the knife in their hands. Winters was about to draw the knife to block it, but his scimitar was stuck in the bones of the corpse and could not be pulled out.

Winters is no longer the stupid boy he just left the military academy. He has been tempered in iron and blood.

When Winters found that the scimitar was stuck, he abandoned the knife and retreated without hesitation. At the same time, he abandoned the distracting thoughts and entered the casting state.

The next moment, the gunpowder pot on a Tanirian soldier suddenly exploded. The power of the explosion not only exploded a big hole in the waist of the soldier carrying the gunpowder pot, but also injured the soldiers around him. Even Winters was pushed to the door by a wave of air.

This is Winters' first original spell, improved by "Axel's Hair Burning Technique". During the battle on the same day of landing, Winters realized that since the fire ignites the enemy's hair, it can also detonate the gunpowder on the enemy's body. After several attempts, he found that this spell was unexpectedly useful.

A full pot of gunpowder was detonated, like a bomb was thrown into a narrow door opening. The smoke of gunpowder was filled with smoke, blood, flesh and intestinal contents were splashing on the wall, and the ground was splashed everywhere. The people who were not dead screamed, with their voices extremely terrifying.

The explosion of air waves hit Winters' chest like a heavy hammer, making his chest feel stuffy. But he struggled to stand up, spit out a piece of meat that flew into his mouth, picked up a spear from his side and stepped into the smoke.

Until then, the other Venettas and Heards followed Winters, and the Venetta soldiers and Heards slaves who broke into the gate of the Duneburg were frightened by the tragic scene in front of them, and no one dared to step into this flesh-and-blood corridor.

"XX! Why are you standing there? Kill!" Bud came to his senses, cursed and swearing in his life, and rushed into the fort with a scimitar.

With the officers leading the way, the others mustered up the courage and shouted to break into the inside of the pier.

There were only a dozen defenders in this pier. Half of them were killed by Winters in the doorway. The remaining defenders had no fighting spirit and hid in the hidden dark corner, trembling, but in the end they were found by Winters' men.

The still alive Tanirian soldiers were dragged out of the cabinet, basket, and warehouse and pushed to the open space in the center of the pier. Some people were crying and begging, while others closed their eyes and began to pray.

The Venetta soldiers and the Heds surrounded the prisoners in the middle.

"We have no hands to take care of them, we all killed them." Winters ordered the execution of the prisoners expressionlessly. He found a clean towel and was wiping the blood on his face.

The Hudders couldn't understand what Winters was saying, while the Venetta soldiers were at a loss.

Seeing this, Winters didn't say much, snatched a spear and walked to the side of the prisoner, gritted his teeth and said, "This is for my soldiers nailed to the wooden stake... I haven't forgotten any of them."

After saying that, he stabbed a prisoner to death.

The other prisoners rolled and crawled to escape, but were pushed back by the Venetta and Heds next to them.

Bard also grabbed a prisoner's hair expressionlessly, inserted a scimitar through his collarbone, and executed a prisoner.

Two officers took the lead, and the other soldiers gritted their teeth and attacked the remaining prisoners. There were no more Tanirians in the Duneburg.

"Our people were injured and not dead. The Hurds were not killed... except those two." Bud and Winters reported the casualties: "One of them opened the doors to death, and the other one destroyed the alarm... If it weren't for them, we would have been eating guns on the shore now."

Winters turned his back to Bud, saying nothing, but was loading the match rope gun found from the pier.

"Time is coming soon, hurry up and take the signal flare to the beach. You don't need the rest." Winters said without looking back: "If we are both gone, who will send a letter to the Legion Commander? Go quickly."

Bud sighed but didn't leave.

Winters sighed, put down the musket in his hand, turned around and said helplessly: "I know it's not good to kill prisoners, but if I do it again, I will still do this."

"I'm not against your execution of prisoners, we really have no hands to watch over them." Bud said sincerely: "I just hope you don't stick to revenge, and you don't attribute the responsibility for the destruction of the Century."

Winters didn't say anything.

Bud stood attentively and saluted, Winters stood up and returned the salute solemnly. Bud turned and left.

Bud led two Venetta soldiers out of the Dunegaux and headed towards the beach to the south.

Winters used the remaining iron casting material in one breath, and the iron chain across the entrance of the bay was cut off on the east coast and sank into the seabed.

Winters met the Hud Warrior who tried to open the pier door. He finally understood why the Tanirians failed to close the door because the Huds stuck the door shaft with their bodies.

His tribe members took out his body and placed it flat on the ground. There were three knife wounds on the abdomen of the body, and half of his body was almost crushed.

Winters saluted the Hudder's body, and the soldiers of Venetta also saluted.

"No need to be sad for him, he is already waiting for us on the banks of the Styx," Hestas said calmly: "He is rushing to the Styx as a free man, and we will also look for him as a free man."

The old shaman squatted beside the corpse, put a silver coin into the palm of the deceased, and sang the ballad of the requiem of the Hed.

In the Hudders' low chorus, Winters led the remaining soldiers and the Hudders out of the pier and headed towards the artillery barracks in the middle of the bay.

In the ambush a few days ago, although the Tanirians failed to eat the Venetta Revenge Fleet, they also gained an unexpected gain.

There is a blocking tactic in naval battles, that is, to block the entry and exit channels of enemy ports by sinking ships and block the enemy fleet in the port.

The blocking tactics can prevent ships from leaving the port, but it can also prevent ships outside the port from entering.

Three sunken Vineta warships crossed the bay passage, forming an artificial reef. Even if there were no iron cables to block the sea, the ship would hit the bottom of the ship when passing through the reef, and even capsized and sank.

It is precisely because of this that the Chi Iwo Island Council considered Chi Iwo Bay to be solid. Even without these two iron cables, this shipwreck reef alone is enough to resist the Vineta people.

If Venetta breaks through the crowd and is sunk a few warships, it will completely block the bay.

However, tonight is different from usual.

A nearly round moon hung in the sky, and she hindered Winters' surprise attack. But she would also compensate the Vinetas in her own way.

Tonight is the seventeenth calendar, the astronomical tide!

From nightfall, the tide in Chisulphur Bay has surged and risen. According to Bard's calculations, the tide will reach the highest level in a month between one to two points.

By that time, even the wrecks and reefs would no longer hinder the warships of the Venetta people. As long as two seafarers were destroyed, the Venetta warships would drive straight into the Red Sulfur Port.

Kalman claimed to be able to send Winters out of Chiyi Island and through a secret line of smugglers, he could send two people out at a time.

But Kalman told Winters that it was just to destroy the unity of the Venetta people from within. He did not expect Winters to use the smuggling line to contact the Venetta fleet.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The fleet that is already ready to go out of the sea will immediately enter Chiqiu Bay after receiving the signal from Bad.

Winters can now find a safe place to hide and wait for the Venetta Army to capture Chisulphur Port and return to build. His mission has been completed, and in the original plan, he only needs to destroy two iron chains.

But he understood that there was one more thing he could do - destroying the cannons in the East Coast artillery.

The Red Sulfur Bay is guarded by two cannon barricades, the west coast artillery block guards the entrance of the bay, and the east coast artillery block guards the middle section of the bay.

He was beyond his reach for the West Bank artillery building, but if he could destroy the East Bank artillery building, he would have fewer deaths from the Vineta people.

Winters himself didn't know what was driving him. He was not for military achievements or for a sense of honor, and this war had no honor to him.

After thinking about it, he had only one reason to convince himself: "If those cannons could be destroyed, many of the Venettas would be killed."

Maybe he just didn't want to see the body of the Venetta again.

"Our goal is the artillery base on the east coast." Warrant Officer Winters Montagne, Chief Centurion of the Century of the Chief Brigade, mobilized pre-warly to the last soldiers of the 100-man team: "We have fewer numbers than the enemy, and the only hope for victory is to rush hard, and kill in when the enemy fails to react, destroy the artillery and withdraw immediately."

"You have done a lot for Venetta, but we need to fight for Venetta again." He glanced at the soldiers who followed him to hide in Tibet on Chiyi Island. Under the bright moonlight, everyone's eyes were bright. He stopped talking nonsense and drew out his scimitar: "Follow me!"
