Chapter 766: The Collapsed Lighthouse (5)
"Boom, boom, boom.........." black solid bullets hit the Dawn Lighthouse standing in the Holy Light Harbor like hail falling from the sky, but the small hail hit the Dawn Lighthouse at most and only left some ice chips on its body, but those practices from the Sunset Fleet directly smashed countless holes in the Dawn Lighthouse, and even broke through the outer layer of stones and then smashed the wooden frame in the lighthouse.
"Retreat! Fall back! "The Lighthouse of Dawn is of course important, as the residents of the Port of Light and even many followers of the Holy Light Sect who come to the Holy Light Empire for pilgrimage, the Lighthouse of Dawn can be said to be one of the few landmarks in the Holy Light Empire, but after finding that they could not rely on manpower to protect the Lighthouse of Dawn, the commanders of the front line immediately decided to transfer all the defenders guarding the Lighthouse of Dawn out, and at the same time transfer the command post set up in the Lighthouse of Dawn to the rear, at least to a place where the sunset artillery could not reach.
Of course, even if this is done, it does not mean that the Imperial Navy will stop covering the Dawn Lighthouse, because the Sunset Fleet needs to destroy the spiritual pillar in the hearts of the people of the Holy Light Harbor, and at the same time, it needs to give the final orders to all the spies lurking in the Holy Light Harbor.
At this time, in the city gate located at the outermost gate of the Holy Light Harbor, the defenders guarding here were all in disarray: although the Holy Light Harbor was fully invaded by the entire fleet of Sunset, and there was not even one fleet, but the Sunset Empire only attacked the port area, and the Sunset Fleet as the attacking party was a navy, a fleet composed entirely of sailors and Naga warriors, and even more regular spies than the Xiyi fleet. So this means that the fleet of the sun never sets cannot appear and cannot appear an army, at least this army is not capable of attacking the city walls.
It was precisely because of this that the defenders of Port of Saint-Light dared to press all the troops in the city on the defensive belt at the junction of the city's trade zone and the port area. Although the commander of the Holy Light Harbor still left two thousand-strong brigades to maintain the mood of the people in the rear, as mentioned before, the city hall was broken through by the angry citizens, and the noble convoy was also besieged by many angry people, so now the two thousand defenders who maintained the rear have rushed to the two places to suppress the incident, and the number of soldiers guarding the city gate is already surprising to everyone.
"Kill these guys, don't let them get close to the mechanism!" Although the mysterious man who attacked the city gate did not count more than a finger. However, there were less than 20 defenders of the Holy Light Harbor guarding the opening and closing of the city gate, and the most important thing was that only one of these 20 people was an officer of the Holy Light Harbor, and the rest were just residents of the Holy Light Harbor who were issued with weapons and armor. In other words, there is only one of the Holy Light Harbor soldiers who know how to fight.
"Whew!" Perhaps the attackers already knew about the city gate, or perhaps because the petty officer yelled mockingly when he saw several black-robed men rushing towards the city gate, the only man in the black-robed man with a crossbow shot directly at the little officer.
The distance between the two was less than 40 meters, which was exactly the most terrifying distance the power of the hand crossbow. Even if the petty officer was wearing a layer of armor 4 mm thick. But in a short distance, the powerful hand crossbow still pierced the armor of the junior officer in an instant, and the sharp crossbow arrow directly tore the body of the junior officer under the terrifying propulsion, and was deeply inserted into the heart of the junior officer.
"Ahh As the petty officer fell, the guard squad of less than twenty people instantly fell into a panic, and the soldiers without command were basically headless flies, and this truth was even more of a truth in an era like the Middle Ages.
In fact, these spies who attacked the city gate of the Holy Light Harbor were not very combative, or they had a certain amount of combat effectiveness. Even in terms of individual combat effectiveness, it is better than the militia guarding the gates of the Holy Light Harbor, but the problem is that these spies are not armies. So it is impossible for them to be like the army, after the increase in numbers, the combat effectiveness is no longer as simple as 1 plus 1. In fact, if this petty officer hadn't died or had stabilized the morale of the less than 20 soldiers of Port Saint Light before he died, then these spies who came to attack would have no chance at all.
But the fact is that the heavens are not standing here in the defenders of the Holy Light Port, and in the end, under the killing of several Sunset spies armed with daggers, less than 20 Shengguang Port militiamen all fell to the ground in less than 1 minute and could not wake up again, and at this time, one of the several Sunset spies immediately took out a cylindrical object with a bamboo skin from his waist, and then took out a gray rope from it at the signal of a Sunset spy led by the Sunset, lit it and threw it directly to the closed door.
"Boom." The explosive power of the black powder did not disappoint these spies, and the originally closed gate was directly turned into pieces under the impact of the black powder, and everyone also vaguely saw the mechanism behind the gate to control the switch of the city gate after a burst of smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
"It's basically enough, but our time is running out, the noise just now is likely to attract nearby enemies, we must quickly break the switch of this control gate, so that the jack inside the city gate will fall, and the guys in the city will not be able to break through the city gate in a short time. No. 1321, No. 3412, you follow me to plant bombs, and the rest of the people monitor the surrounding situation, and now the combat operation begins! ”
On the other side, the two Sunset spies located in the sewers of the Holy Light Harbor had also lit the fuse made of black powder in front of them at this time, and the next moment of ignition, the two Sunset spies directly threw everything on their bodies, except for the daggers used for battle and the explosives that could temporarily save their lives, including the crowbars and torture tools they used before, and they threw them while running in one direction.
"Captain, how long will it take for the explosives to detonate?" After about a minute or so of a frantic sprint, Spy 2014, who ran around a corner, asked the captain next to him, who was also in a state of speeding.
"Huh? What did you say? ”
"I said, when will those explosives take effect?"
"Oh, you mean explosives! Now it's in effect! As soon as the captain finished speaking, explosions rang out in all the sewer branches that the two passed, and Spy 2014 was horrified to find that the wall above his head had appeared countless cracks visible to the naked eye. (To be continued......)
