Crash! Crash! Crash!
Arrows snapped free of the bowstrings! The light twang of the strings!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The cast iron arrows poured out, shooting from the shore towards the fleet, nailing into the ships' hulls, shields, sails, and other various parts.
But more arrows disappeared into the water.
The fleet comprised a hundred vessels, large and small, the smallest manned by a dozen men, the largest nearly a hundred.
The scale was immense, the ships densely packed together.
Everyone was in a rush to paddle towards the shore.
The attackers rowed furiously, eventually closing in to little over ten meters from the shore.
During this process, they sustained heavy casualties—over two hundred injured. Although everyone was equipped with shields, some arrows slipped through, striking people's calves, toes, and arms, causing them to scream nonstop.
