Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 255: Shuicheng Nisk and arrangement
On the tenth day after passing the Atrid Sea and saving the two survivors in the mouth of the white giant whale.
"The Horn of Storm" arrived at Nisk Water City in the Kingdom of Tyrol as scheduled, and it was also the final destination of their transnational mission!
Before arriving at Nisk, Milan’s bad luck had completely disappeared.
was not too serious bad luck. At the worst of the 20-day voyage, it was just a hit to the foot by a heavy iron cannonball and a small bag of golden lions fell into the sea.
Don't look at this guy's appearance at first, but if you ask him whether he will use it next time, he will use it again 100%.
This kind of thing is the same as wearing women’s clothing, there is only a difference between zero and countless times...
Huh? It seems that some strange metaphor has been mixed in?
ahem, it doesn’t matter, the reason is the same.
........
The beautiful water city Nisk.
is called the "Pearl of the West Coast of the Kingdom of Tyrol" and is a very important commercial and artistic town.
, also known as "Water City", "Bridge City" and "Light City", is one of the most prestigious tourist cities in the Tulip Alliance.
Nisk Water City covers more than one hundred islands in the coastal lagoon and two promontories that protrude from the sea to form a trumpet shape. Between the left and right promontories is the Leiden River, the largest outflow river in the Kingdom of Tyrol.
At the same time, as a city at the mouth of the sea, Nisk Water City is also a land defense fortress guarding the outermost periphery of the prosperous city cluster in the "Leiden Valley".
So.
After the high-level meetings of all countries, they all decided to send out capable personnel for necessary defense.
But in fact, the strength of the original garrison here is already very strong.
consists of an offshore fleet composed of rivers and seas, a land infantry regiment, and an elite musketeer unit. It maintains dozens of "Leiden Valley" with the special geographical location of Nisk as a hub. The safety of this city.
in the outposts along the city of Nisk and the "Leiden Valley".
There are a total of 8 cruise ships and 23 inland patrol ships in service, with a total force of nearly 5,000. Recently, they have been continuously mobilizing reinforcements, and the total number has reached 8,000!
The arrival of the Horn of Storm was warmly received by Major General Coverdale Dulu, commander of the garrison here, and his subordinates.
As soon as it arrived at the port, the main officer on the ship and Ambros, the representative of the church reinforcements, were invited by the adjutant who had been waiting here to meet at the general's residence.
Although Ivan’s military rank is only lieutenant colonel, he represents the Navy of the Kingdom of Falatis after he goes abroad, and he has many honors, and he is no longer that dispensable little person.
was personally received by the local commander-in-chief of the garrison at the first time, which was also due.
arranged for Gary and First Mate Borg to stay on standby on the ship, and let them send away the first Mate Fisher and the gambler Pips who had been rescued before.
Ivan didn't care about his kind deeds, did not ask them where they would go, and did not expect them to repay them repeatedly.
took Milan and Ambrus into the carriage arranged by the adjutant, and the group went to the headquarters of the garrison.
The military port and commercial port on the side of Nisk are completely separated.
The commercial port is close to the city of Shuicheng, while the military port is located on the edge of the promontory on the north side.
Aiwen didn't feel much about this style.
But from Ambrus’s perspective, he silently compared the garrison commander with Brigadier General Buhler in Beluga Harbor.
At least in terms of the location of the headquarters, Major General Coverdale, who is on the front line, is much more reliable than Brigadier General Buller, who has his post in the bustling area of the city.
was led by the adjutant to the highest hill on the promontory.
The garrison headquarters is located here. Strictly speaking, this is a three-story bastion built of rammed earth and solid stones.
And the flag of the Kingdom of Tyrol is flying high on the top of the bastion at this time.
The military facility like a bastion is not mysterious.
It actually turns the former city plug from a convex polygon into a concave polygon.
This improvement makes it possible to expose the attacking side to more than one bastion surface (usually 2-3) regardless of any point of the attack on the castle, and the defending side can use cross firepower for multiple strikes.
This garrison bastion is the same.
In the three-story structure, the bottom layer is solid, except that a fort gate is opened on the front and the back, and a convex fort is set on each of the four corners.
On the second floor are also four lobed fortresses, nested layer by layer, without any defensive corners.
is the most powerful shield in land warfare in this era when all kinds of firearms have become popular!
It is said that with a 7:1 strength advantage, it takes about days to conquer a bastion. Each bastion is a hard bone that can make the enemy burst a tooth!
If the garrison post in "Beluga Harbor" was also such a bastion, the Brigadier General Buhler would not need to escape.
"Please, everyone!"
followed the adjutant into the bastion.
The first floor is mainly a solid structure, with food and ammunition stored in a limited space, as well as a small prison that is solid.
Follow the narrow, dimly lit staircase to the second floor of the bastion.
This is the residence of the soldiers. There is a breast wall on the edge of the fort body, and there are a lot of gun positions behind it. There, Ivan saw a 24-pounder shining metallic luster, and many busy soldiers were maintaining the artillery.
Even if it is only counted by the artillery seen, the number of artillery equipped in this bastion is at least 30, which can be said to be powerful.
Obviously, this bastion is definitely not a good thing, it has completely entered a state of preparation for the arrival of the "pirate king" at any time!
The third floor is a complete hollow fort structure, which is not much different from a thick and stable ordinary building. Walking up the stone staircase, the office of the commander of the garrison, Major General Coverdale Dulu, is located here.
the adjutant and a group of people knocked on the door and entered.
The office style in the field of vision is extremely simple.
Except for the glass window with a better view, there are almost no valuables. The only decoration hung on the rough floor and slightly polished wall is a portrait of the contemporary Tarot Kingdom Andre VI in military uniform.
‘Well, like an ancient hero, he has a tough face like a marble sculpture!
I just don’t know if it has been beautified by an artist? ’
Aiwen made a faint comment.
Seeing Irwin and his party entering the door, Major General Coverdale, who was busy behind his desk, got up and warmly welcomed the arrival of this batch of reinforcements.
Although the major general in a uniform is not tall, he is very powerful, with a red face and golden curly hair, and his voice is thundering:
"On behalf of Your Majesty the King, thank you for your defense against the Kingdom of Tyrol! Please sit down!"
"Your Excellency General, you are polite, the nations of the alliance have always advanced and retreated together.
"Octopus Ghost" Huggins is really **** it.
successively provoked the tulip, which has touched the bottom line of the kingdom, and even touched the bottom line of mankind, and he must not be allowed to continue frantic! "
Sitting on a somewhat hard sofa, Ivan thanked the adjutant for the tea he had brought, and said kindly to the major general, and routinely condemned the pirate king Harkins, who is now being called out by everyone.
went on to say a few words. As a typical soldier, this general Coverdale is naturally a straight-forward character, and he quickly entered the topic.
"Captain Ivan, you should also know the current situation.
I would like to arrange your ‘Cape Storm’ to join the offshore cruise as the first barrier against sea forces.
Of course, all logistic supplies of warships are distributed in accordance with the highest specifications, so you can rest assured. "
Although it is said that Ivan has worked hard to defend the front line, in fact, the high-level thoughts are very consistent at this time. The possibility of Hudgens organizing a naval attack again is very small.
, even if there is collusion with the "Deep Sea Brotherhood" that has been very active in recent years, it can drive some sea monsters.
But the sea is the home ground of the sea monsters. As long as they are on land, the garrison has sufficient confidence that they are not afraid of "a few" sea monsters~IndoMTL.com~ It is on land, cities along the "Leiden Valley". Internal is the most stressful task.
So, in fact, the general didn't make things difficult for Ivan, but just arranged it normally according to the characteristics of the "Storm Horn".
even specifically stated that even if you encounter a sea monster, the so-called front line does not need to directly intervene in the battle, as long as the information is sent back in time.
It can be seen from this that the general's confidence in his land defense force!
"No problem, Your Excellency! I also brought the first batch of "Song of the Sea Monster" delivered this time. Would you like to see it?"
Since it is a rescue mission, it is naturally impossible to rely on one's own temperament when it comes to someone else's land.
In fact, the general's arrangement is similar to what Ivan had previously guessed. With the characteristics of the "Storm Horn", he can only perform tasks on the sea.
did not seem to be underestimated by the fledglings, Ivan readily accepted the general's arrangement.
"Hahaha, of course, I have long wanted to see it."
Ivan's cooperation gave the general a sigh of relief. After all, he is not a soldier of his own country, although there is a coalition's joint operations regulations.
But this young captain ranked No. 1 in the "Navy Rising Star" is also a young captain, and if he encounters a sting, he will have a headache. Although it is a defense, how can I use the baby bumps of these countries as ordinary soldiers?
‘Hey, I just hope that the next rising star from Ilya can also cooperate this way! ’
