Power and Empire Chapter 818: The Nord’s counterattack (1)
818 Nord's counterattack (1)
Two Dragon-class battleships mixed with twelve Dragon Tooth battleships, and six huge merchant ships sailing on the dark sea of the Nord Sea against the wind and waves, and the squally wind swept across the deck with heavy rain. ◣Please enter m to provide the fastest chapter reading! ◢Splash out the position.
The six large merchant ships have a displacement of more than 100 tons, and they can barely maintain steady in the wind and waves, and move slowly. On the contrary, the twelve lighter dragon's teeth battleships are turbulent in the storm, and their bows are often submerged. In the giant*, seawater flows everywhere on the deck
"Tell the bō Lanfolk on the port side to pay attention to their positions. They are too close to the transport fleet." Frye, captain of the Falcon Squadron, put down the lookout and whispered to the deputy behind him. With his xìng style, he rarely reminds others, it’s not his business if they have to live or die,
However, this transportation mission is really important. Since the Ferran Island chain fell into the hands of the Falcon Navy, in order to pierce this dazzling nail deeply, the Falcon Navy has continued to build on the foundation of the original rude people. , To strengthen the defensive power of the Ferran island chain, not only renewed the fortress on the island chain, but also added two small naval ports, which are used as docking points for the Dragon Tooth warships that are not good at ocean warfare.
The twelve Dragon Tooth warships accompanying this time were the Frye Squadron that was stationed on the Ferran Island Chain. As agreed by the Ministry of the Navy, Frye is now the first admiral of the Naval Defense Fleet on the Ferran Island Chain. High-spirited, he can't wait to bring all his family properties in Salander to the Ferran Island chain.
Six huge Salander ships accompanied by the ship, carrying the urgently needed supplies of the Frye fleet in the Ferran Island chain and ten army-type Thors that were just produced. This kind of Thor is more powerful and has a longer range. , The only disadvantage is that it is too heavy and not easy to move,
It is just right to be used as a fort cannon. This Thor is produced in limited quantities according to the requirements. It has a number and the name of the fort to be equipped. They are all a carrot and a pit, and there is very little outflow.
Even in the Falcon Army, these Thors are precious materials that make people jealous. In exchange for these ten Thors, this time Frye was a smashing pot and selling iron, and even coaxed to borrow a full six ships from other colleagues. ’S spoils, it’s said that now Frye goes anywhere, there is always a creditor behind his ass
The Ruo De Sea in winter is generally turbulent and turbulent. The complex and changeable climate change has made it a monsoon-prone area. The storms in winter come just as they say, without the slightest warning.
The ships passing here generally take adequate measures to protect against storms. Since the Falcon Dynasty fleet has extended its sphere of influence to the Nord Island chain, the captains of the Falcon fleet have become accustomed to the volatile storms in the Nord Sea. , As long as it is not a major storm above the sixth level, the improved Dragon-class main battleship and the Salander sea ship can cope with it
When conveying the order, a huge wave hit, and the deputy standing on the deck was staggered, grabbed the railing hurriedly, and turned his head to look at Frye. Only seeing him covered in sea water, but still standing still, this is the ability of people who have lived on the sea for a long time. The deputy was about to say something when Frye suddenly turned around and looked at the lookout on the tall mast.
The adjutant’s face was stunned, and saw that in the storm, on the main mast of the Dragon-class battleship more than 20 meters high, the watcher held the mast in one hand to stabilize his body and waved quickly. The red flag in the hand. The red flag was flying quickly, and it looked rather bad.
"No, this can also run into enemies?" The adjutant's face changed slightly, and he said in disbelief. After going out to sea for the first time, I was baptized by two days and two nights of torrential rain, and now I am still encountering a hostile fleet, which is really blessed.
"Use the semaphore to order the ships, prepare to fight, and the entire fleet will come to me." Standing under the mast, Frye has started to run onto the bridge on the battleship. The semaphore means that there is a huge fleet ahead, although it is not flying. Flag, but in this sea area, apart from the Falcon fleet, there is only one possibility, the Nords
As the semaphore quickly spread the order, the Fletcher fleet suddenly became chaotic.
"**, Damn it"
"Hurry up, open the baffle of the gun chamber, otherwise the other side will come and kick your ass"
The captains have different gods, and they hurried to prepare for combat. All kinds of ghosts and wolves screamed all over the deck. The sailors quickly cleaned out the extras from the deck, and many things that needed to be fixed were strengthened again.
The arsenal was opened, and ammunition began to be delivered to the gun warehouse. The twelve dragon-tooth warships swung their sterns, and quickly separated from the two wings of the large sea ship in the waves like a shepherd dog in a pack of wolves.
"Vertical Flag"
Frye gave orders coldly. Soon, a little piggy flag slowly rose from the main mast. The long chubby face of this little piggy was black with black on his right eye. sè’s pirate blindfold, holding a trident in his hand, looks funny and full of black sè humor, but this flag has a terrible name in Rudehai, blood sè pig flag
Soon, centering on the two main dragon-class battleships, twelve dragon-tooth ships line up in a diagonal line. It is very difficult for the thin hulls to line up in the storm, but no matter how difficult it is, Before the battle, you must also line up and aim your side ship at the enemy. This has become the most basic principle of Falcon naval operations.
Six merchant ships full of supplies hurriedly lowered their sails, dropped heavy anchors, reduced their speed, and slowly followed the jīdàng waves up and down. After ten minutes, the storm weakened a bit, most of them Sailors can stand on the deck without relying on railings. Almost at the same time,
On the surface of the southeast sea, black sail shadows appeared one after another, densely packed, like a huge black wall emerging from the waves, the depressed people in the quiet atmosphere were a little out of breath, look. There are quite a few ships. Through the observation mirror in his hand, Frye could already see the tomahawk flag hung on the opponent's mast, as well as the navy flag crossed by the red axe handles.
"Hehe, really, it’s not that the enemy doesn’t get together"
Fry’s ugly face grinned, and he subconsciously turned his dry mouth chún. It was the fleet of Bandinko of the Nord Navy, the regional fleet that had just been deployed from the Nord Navy’s headquarters. It is a strong enemy of the Frye Fleet on the Ferran Island Chain. It has 40 large and medium-sized warships. Although it is not as powerful as Ferran's Frye Fleet, it has a number and support from the coastal areas. On weekdays, it always plays with Frye and hides. , I didn’t expect to meet here today
The sails were lowered and the formation was gathered. The twelve dragon-tooth warships lined up slowly in a battle formation. The gunners opened the portholes. The dragon-class battleships were equipped with four 100mm heavy sea guns. The mouth was also pushed out from the front turret of the Dragon-class battleship, and the shells were installed long ago. As long as the fire door is opened, it can be fired.
Slowly, the huge fleet in the southeast gradually appeared completely on the sea level. The storm is getting smaller and smaller, and the sun miraculously appeared in space,
Ten thousand golden rays of light fall on the surface of the Sea of Aden, making the water emit a variety of colors, which is incomparably gorgeous. The water is clear and you can even see the big sharks swimming in it from time to time. This area has always been a frequent spot for sharks. However, no one has the mind to observe the beauty of the sea, and no one imagines how they will face the attack of sharks once they fall into the sea, because everyone's eyes have been tightly locked on the approaching fleet.
As the line of sight became clearer, the fleet on the opposite side seemed to have spotted the blood pig flag rustling in the wind, and it was suddenly chaotic. The name of the Marquis of Benghadi, the commander of the Nord Navy, was in Germany. It’s not loud, but because he was born in the traditional warrior family of the Nord royal family, as a navy commander vigorously cultivated by the Nord royal family, the force of the fleet he led is the most powerful in the Nord navy besides the Nord navy corps. Fleet of combat effectiveness
Three newly launched main battleships of the Storm Sea Serpent class, as evidenced by the 30 modified Nord large sea ships, each of which has a displacement of more than 100 tons and has more than 300 different sizes. The trebuchet and the 3,000-man ship-borne soldiers, and in appearance, are almost all the latest new ships launched.
"Admiral, the other party sent a semaphore"
Semaphore soldiers shouted from the mast, "They said this sea belongs to the Nord Kingdom, please leave immediately." "Hehe, play me stupid, is it interesting?" Frye sneered, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
No matter what the other party means, but if you dare to appear in front of you like this, you are already offending your dignity. "Tell them that this sea area belongs to the Falcon Dynasty. All non-Falcon Dynasty fleets must accept Our Falcon Navy’s investigation..."
The semaphore soldier sent out a signal, and the opponent quickly responded. The voice of the flag language soldier seemed a bit aggrieved, and he shouted "the other party called us to die"
"The whole fleet fires cannon to see who is going to die" Fletcher laughed. He and Bandyenko are both unruly guys, they have long been dissatisfied with each other.
"Rumble" there was a violent thunder bombing. Forty-eight curved shots of thunder on the flanks fired one after another. The shells swept across the gorgeous sea and landed in the middle of the Nord fleet, making a huge explosion.
However, most of the artillery shells missed, and they basically fell into the sea, blowing up a huge column of water. At a distance of more than 700 meters, firing a cannon on a floating ship, it is basically very sleepy to hit,
Frye didn't dare to have such extravagant desires. However, he must fire the artillery, he must attack first, and he must let the Nord Navy know that he has always taken the initiative to attack. Passiveness is definitely not his Frye style.
The Nord Navy on the opposite side was hit by the fierce bombardment. The ten large and small warships, which were also bloodied like chicken blood, were like blooming flowers, quickly spreading out, like a huge arc rushing towards the Falcon fleet. , Because it is too far away. The Frye Squadron’s first round of shooting hardly resulted in any results,
"Wow, this guy has a hand," Frye couldn't help but exclaimed as he saw this scene through the look-glass. In the past, even the strongest warship could not withstand more than ten rounds of attacks in front of the fierce and curved Thunder of the Falcon Navy.
In the swift charge of "Rumble Rumble", a warship of the German navy was "accidentally" hit by two Thor bullets on the side of the warship, and suddenly it exploded with a huge roar.
In the dark smoke rising, this warship broke off, the bow and stern were raised high, tilted severely, lost control, and almost collided with a colleague warship next to him, "pop." The broken main mast fell into the sea, causing a long wave of water.
Bengadi’s fleet obviously also had a small bō movement. It was sunk so tragically, it was a shock to all the Nord navy personnel.
"Accelerate and rush through with all your strength"
On the Cambridge of Nord’s flagship Wind Fragrance Bell, a middle-aged general wearing a navy uniform shouted with bloodshot eyes, dragging black smoke shells from the ship’s side, and he still Stand on Cambridge without fear
In the successive bombardments on the opposite side, the warships of the Nord Navy dispersed and approached step by step.
"Prepare for 400 meters" the heavy trebuchet winch on the Nord warship began to slowly pull. The twelve strong sailors exhausted all their strength, gritted their teeth and gurgled, and the heavy rolling thunderstone was pushed into the speculative loading frame.
They must enter their own trebuchet shooting range to be able to counterattack,
"Wow" did not expect that the Nords would launch ten warships like a death squad so without evasiveness, completely ignoring the cannonballs roaring from the opposite side, **** "The huge water column rushed into the air, and the cannonball fell. There was a lot of spray on the sea between the warships. Many artillery shells even exploded against the enemy warships, but they were just a little too close and never hit.
"Order the ships not to mess up, put them in 400 meters and then fire them, even in close combat, we can still tear them apart"
Frye watched countless unachievable shelling from his fleet, and ordered with a calm face. He also knew that his gunners had done their best. They must first be on the warship undulating in the storm, relying solely on their eyes and predictions. It is very difficult to hit a target hundreds of meters away. The ship is indeed very big, but if it is 400 meters away, it is just a slightly eye-catching **** spot
"Boom Rumble" The white smoke on the sea is full of white smoke, flowing like clouds from the sky in the howling sea breeze, and the Thor cannons on the same dragon's tooth battleship fired volleys, and the huge recoil could even bring the dragon's tooth ship on the sea. Go up and push more than ten meters in the opposite direction. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of overturning because you lose your center of gravity.
"Papa"
In Frye’s expectant eyes, a Nord’s main battleship, Storm Sea Snake, rushing forward was hit. This ship is twice the size of other ordinary warships, and its sturdiness is xìng. As the Nords have always liked, it is indestructible. In the middle of the deck directly hit by the shells, the towering mast broke from it, together with the sailors sailing on it.
But this storm sea snake is still accustomed to advancing at a high speed. The Nord sailors on it jumped into the sea one after another, but because of the high winds and sturdy waves, and the constant waves of Nord warships passing by, most of the sailors Never escaped the fate of being drawn into the whirlpool in the sea. When this almost empty storm sea snake rushed to the front of the Dragon Tooth battleship, it was already riddled with holes, and only half of the three huge main masts on the deck were left. , The side deck was penetrated by more than a dozen large holes, and the sea pours into it.
Maybe the distance is too close. The sailors of the Falcon Navy here are deeply shocked by everything in front of them. They have seen many sinking warships, but they are beaten so that they are not sinking. A warship, but it is the first time. For all sailors sailing on the ocean, they will feel a sense of powerless resistance. If this storm sea snake is not stopped midway, with its sturdy hull, it can be The formation of the Falcon fleet was torn apart in one fell swoop,
"It must be the legendary steel tree. The Nords actually used the steel tree to build the storm sea snake." Frye was scared secretly, but also gritted his teeth and watched it almost turned into a hornet's nest, which was slowly sinking. The storm sea snake can't help but feel sorry and indignant,
These Nords don’t know that they are sucking. If the storm sea snake in front of you is made of a steel tree, then the evaluation of the new main warship of the Nord Navy must be improved by at least two levels. Comparable to the Dragon Tooth battleship, no warship can withstand the impact of a warship made of steel trees. In this regard, even the unruly Frye dare not deny it,
The steel tree is a very hard wood. It only grows on the hot southern islands. In the past, it was only in the stories of some old sailors full of curious and fanciful stories about the existence of this kind of tree. Most people don’t believe in the truth of this kind of thing, but occasionally there will be a small number of stainless steel trees sold on the black market, the price is almost equal to coins of equal weight, because of the unusual solidity, it is used to make warship decks or warships. The best material for hitting the corner
"If you can have a warship made of a steel tree and hit the corner, even the siren will go around you." This is the mantra of many pirates, and there are also some legendary pirates who drive the steel tree. The super warship that hits the corner plunders all directions and becomes the irresistible overlord at sea.
As the distance shortened rapidly, the situation on the sea began to benefit the Nord Navy. Despite the loss of one main Storm Sea Serpent and eight heavy warships, the Nord Navy’s advantages are still obvious. There are already three fast ships. The ship braved the fire of the Falcon Navy and entered the range of the catapult,
"Attack"
The direction of the catapult shooting platform made a sudden cracking sound like a rainstorm. Dozens of heavy catapult bombs roared from the Nord warship that hit the front.
"Go to death", the commander of the Nord Navy, Marquis Bandinko, roared loudly, pointing the command knife in his hand straight ahead, and he wanted to send all these unaware Falcons navy to the bottom of the sea.
"Papa" broken wood splashes,
Countless slingshots landed on the deck of Frye’s warship, smashing large and small holes. Some Dragonfang warships that got too close became messy under the raindrops of the opponent’s slingshots. The deck There are bullet holes everywhere, as are the sides of the ship's gunwale. Many soldiers were hit directly by the dense gravel, giving their young lives, and blood began to flow on the deck.
Frye remained so calm, not even frowning. Because he knows that as long as he has survived the opponent's first round volley, he has already won a chance to win.
In order to fight back the enemy as quickly as possible, the Nord Fleet’s first round of volleys used solid rounds with a longer range and higher accuracy.
After the first round of the salvo. They immediately changed the type of ammunition and chose gravel specifically designed to kill the opponent's sailors in order to completely remove the enemy from the deck. Destroy enemy ships at the same time,
In this way, it takes about five minutes from pulling the winch to loading, and five minutes is normal for usual naval battles.
Clean up the residual gunpowder in the Thor's barrel, reload the shells and propellant, and then shoot, no matter how skilled the gunner is, it will take a long time.
Because we know the weakness of Thor Cannon in advance. Therefore, Bandyenko felt that he had a chance to win at this moment. As long as the second round of intensive salvos succeeded, the opponent's dragon-class main battleship would definitely suffer serious damage, or even sink. Other smaller dragon-tooth warships cannot withstand the impact of their own storm sea snakes.
This time, I will personally break the myth of the incompetent **** of the Falcon Navy. I will use the wreckage of the Falcon Navy to prove who is the strongest in this sea area
However, Bandians did not expect that Frye would not need five minutes to reload the cannonball, not even forty seconds. He only gave an order, turn to
It only takes him forty seconds to go from the cannon out of the chamber to plunge deep into the belly of the Nord warship at close range, "boom boom boom boom", the flank has turned the other end of the side, the dragon in full. On the side of the Ya warship, the muzzle shone with frightening light.
The huge hull of the Bandines Fleet~IndoMTL.com~ instantly became the best shooting target for the Falcon Navy Thor. Continuous artillery fire fell among them, and several large warships were hit directly. , Was blown to pieces in the sound of the huge explosion, and the flying debris and the personnel were serious next to the battleship.
In just four minutes, twelve Dragon Tooth battleships, more than 300 curved Thunder Thunder cannons, fired continuously, and at such a close distance, concentrated such fierce artillery fire, even Bandian Si's ship is a storm sea snake made of stainless steel, and it cannot bear it because it has been hit too many, not to mention other ordinary wooden sailing warships.
"My lord, look northeast." During the battle, Fry heard the shout from the mast above his head, and quickly raised his finger to the sight glass, only a white mast appeared on the sea like a forest. , There are at least hundreds of warships with the Nord naval battle flag in them, like a huge rolling white wave, slowly rising from the sea level
"**. It is the main force of the Nord navy." Even with Frye's arrogance and arrogance, at this moment, he has to issue a retreat order with great regret. It is no wonder that the Nords are so fearless and fearless this time. The stalking method was originally intended to entangle oneself and buy time for the arrival of the main fleet behind
