Power and Empire Chapter 1598: Wind and rain are coming (9)
The afterglow of the setting sun shines from the opposite side of the sea. In the quiet port, more than 200 transport ships are ready to go. The fat man raised his head and glanced at the slanting sunlight, fingers clenched together,
"I hope there won't be any problems, right?" The fat man stared at the bright and tragic sunset in the distance, his eyes flashed with hesitation, the first victory report has passed for an hour, and he has broken through the two enemy fleets in a row and has been completely opened. On the road to Yadunis, even if the attack fleet is slow or encounters unsatisfactory headwind weather, it should climb to Yadunis Island, but what's the matter? Why there is no news at all
"Your Majesty" Hu Keqili opened the door from the outside, with the same hesitation on his face, a straight legionnaire uniform with a black background and white borders. He looked extremely capable. The excitement from the beginning turned into The melancholy now, the navy battle has made him unable to figure out more and more
"Is there any news from the attack fleet? "The fat man did not turn his head, turned his back to him, and asked in a cold tone,
"There is no news for the time being!" Hu Keqi gritted his teeth as he tried to speak. He knew the concerns of His Majesty Falcon, shook his head and smiled bitterly. "There is still an hour before the final time limit for the attack, soldiers boarding the ship. There was a commotion, and everyone didn’t know what went wrong. I just visited once. The military spirit is still stable. Is it just a little confused? In fact, your Majesty doesn’t need to worry too much. Although the army and navy have always had some gaps, this time it represents the empire. In the battle of revenge, all soldiers will fight bravely!"
" This is not what I worry about! "The fat man turned around, his face was cold like ice, his black pupils looked like a beautiful lover in the distance, staring deeply at the setting sun on the other end of the sea , The golden light enveloped the entire port, like a huge transparent cover, a white seagull hovering in the sky of the port, lightly falling on the towering mast, the deck below was already covered with people, all The soldiers are like fat guys, neatly raising their heads and looking into the distance,
The calm before it is ready to go, makes every second now like a bowstring slowly being pulled apart, the arrow has been wound, but is the target ready? Whether it was an order to attack or to give up under unknown circumstances, the atmosphere weighed heavily on everyone's heart. The fat man walked in from the balcony outside the room and picked up the glass of red wine from the table near the window. I took a sip without any grace,
"Your Majesty shouldn’t need to worry too much!" Hu Keqili said with a face full of confusion. Judging from the current battle situation, our navy has already defeated the enemy’s two fleets. No matter how we look at it, we are making a lot of money. A fortune!"
" You don’t understand, the navy’s battle is different from the army. The navy’s battle objective is to control the sea. It’s not looking at a fleet of two enemy navies. The navy wants a complete victory. He took control of the entire southwest sea area in his hand!" The fat man took a deep breath and said solemnly, "No news is not terrible. Although we have not received news of the success of the decoy plan, we have not received news of the attack fleet giving up the battle. , At least it proves that the attacking fleet has no major difficulties! The big deal is to order Dusterenkai to return to the port, although I don’t know if something went wrong in the plan, or the navy has already seen through that we are going to get it from the island. The transfer plan? Now we have completely lost the grasp of the situation. If it is the former, the attacking fleet should be in some kind of trouble, and it should be on the way back at this moment. If it is the latter, it indicates that the entire "typhoon" plan has been affected by the opponent. See through, the opponent will stick to the island of Adonis, so that the attacking fleet has to abandon the plan"
The fat man’s voice stopped, put down the water glass in his hand, and smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth. "No matter what kind, it indicates the defeat of the battle of revenge. The admirals of the Navy are also worried this time."
"If this is the case, it does look a bit bad at the moment! Overall victory and unilateral victory are completely different things." Hu Keqili took a deep breath and frowned slightly at what the fat man said. , After hesitating, I decided to express my opinion
"Although it once gained an advantage, the southwestern waters are still firmly controlled by the Congolese Navy. This final result of no reversal has made the blood book of all admirals of the Admiralty's joint vow of revenge in the Falcon Army. The biggest joke, the conviction of victory formed by the admirals of the navy, and the glory that was established after many **** battles, will be a fatal blow!"
" What you said is exactly what I was worried about! "The fat man shook his head helplessly, the navy went south and north, this time the attack was really reckless, but unfortunately, we can’t do anything now, it’s been a long time. This feeling of powerlessness is gone. All we can do now is to believe in the navy and believe that they are a group of ferocious wolves who dare to fight lions at critical moments, not wild dogs that will only whine after being beaten! "
" Yes, now I can only believe in the Navy! "Hu Keqili fell into a moment of silence, his eyes over the fat man’s shoulders, he saw the setting sun in the distance like blood, the waves of the waves, countless transport ships side by side, you can imagine, Seeing all this, what kind of pressure is in your Majesty's heart. The army is about to set out, and it is temporarily cancelled. It is not only the military spirit that will shake, but also the prestige of your Majesty with victorious battles.
" I hope that at the last moment, the navy can get news back. This naval battle is also testing your majesty." Hu Keqili sighed secretly. He didn't know what happened to the navy, but believed it should It's also very hard!
In the distant Yadunis Sea, white smoke filled the sea, and the Dragon Tooth battleship followed the transport ship that just fled from the navy in embarrassment,
Du Stellenkai stood on the flagship, looking coldly through the looking glass in his hand.
looked at the flames on the sea. In the lens of the looking glass, the wreckage of the large transport fleet collapsed quickly in the raging flames. The merciless hunting of the transport fleet has lasted for more than half an hour, with more than a dozen ships. Eight transport ships were sunk, and several other heavy transport ships were deliberately directed towards the island
"Boom Rumble"
, a flexible Dragon Tooth battleship quickly turned in the distance, like a cunning hunter, made a swaying tail in the direction of the coast. Behind it, a large transport ship rolled up and down. Dense smoke and fire shining on the setting sun, the huge hull half overturned in the cold water, countless small black spots jumped off the transport ship, and the sea had already been covered by corpses,
The fierce flames from the non-navy transport ship brought a tragic explosion on the light of the setting sun. The violent explosion exploded on an escaped transport warship. In the thick smoke, this ship thought The transport ship that had escaped from life was hit and sunk,
" The other party is really calm! "Du Stellenkai put down the looking glass in his hand a little anxiously. Time is getting tighter and tighter. If there is no progress after an hour, he can only reluctantly order to withdraw.
At this moment, the adjutant suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "Commander, look there!"
Where is "?"
Du Stellenkai nervously raised the looking glass, and following the direction of the adjutant’s finger, he saw that a large number of warships with the flag of the Congolese and the imperial navy appeared suddenly on the inward curve of the cliff in the northeast of the coast. The number of calculations, the expanded queue is like a huge fan,
" Commander, the Fifth Squadron reported that signs of enemy fleets were found to the southeast!"
" Commander, the Third Squadron reported that a large number of enemy ships were suddenly found in the northwest direction!"
The rushing sound of the flag bearer on the mast caused a smile at the corners of Dusterenkai’s solemn mouth. Sure enough, the other party was not calm, but had arranged a considerable amount in the three directions of the island in advance. The ambush fleet is so insidious. Thinking about this situation, I feel a little bit afraid with Dustellenkai’s boldness. If he didn’t attack the transport fleet, I believe that as long as it gets dark, he will suddenly come out of the ambush location.
The huge fleet encircled by three parties is enough to put one's own fleet in an uncomfortable predicament. In the dark night, most of the communication methods will fail, and Thor's long-range advantage will also be restricted.
The fleet was inserted by enemy ships from several directions without knowing the specific battle. It is very common for the entire fleet to be confused and chaotic.
"It's so risky, I almost fell into the net!"
Du Stellenkai wiped a cold sweat secretly. If it wasn't for an accidental encounter with a transport fleet, and finally made the opponent lose patience, he might actually issue an order to attract the opponent by storming.
" According to the predetermined plan, the fleet was notified to turn to the southwest! "Du Stellenkai turned around with a look of movement, and decisively ordered, the emergency whistle to transmit the message suddenly sounded sharply, which looked particularly harsh in the calm sea. At the beginning, it was a whistle, then two whistle, three whistle...Finally, all the whistles became one piece, and the sharp whistle between the ships seemed to pierce everyone’s eardrums,
Falcon naval warships have turned around. They are only responsible for drawing the opponent out, not fighting. It is not because the opponent is backed by the island and the strong port fortress. Once they are beaten back, they want to take Asia again. Dunis will be a very difficult thing,
"How much did we attract!"
On a dragon-class battleship, the admiral Joseph of the squadron looked at the densely packed enemies in the distance and let out a subconscious emotion.
In fact, even he himself did not expect that Gang Feiren would arrange so many battleships on the island. He looked at it with a vicious look. The total number is probably more than 150. Not the main force of the navy, that's the hell. Unexpectedly, a big fish was lifted suddenly, and Joseph shouted to the sailor behind him, "Hurry up, raise the main sail! I don't want to be overtaken by these guys!"
"Catch up with them!"
Saw the Falcon Navy, which had just attacked the transport fleet, turned, and assumed a posture that it was like slipping away. The Gangfei Navy, surrounded on three sides, quickly formed a chase queue, and a huge white wave appeared. In front of the warship advancing side by side,
The corpses of thousands of Gangfei soldiers, like duckweed in the sea, were also propelled by the huge cold waves raised by this battleship. Before fighting, the eyes of the admirals of the Gangfei Navy fleet have been seen before them. The tragic leftovers are already red, and there are corpses of compatriots everywhere, a large number of corpses rushed to the distant coast with the cold waves, and countless corpses of non-soldiers washed ashore with the sea, large swaths of corpses, The looking glass looks like a school of white flowers, almost covering the edge of the coast,
More than 150 Gangfei warships and about 100 Falcon navy launched a chasing battle on the sea. As the setting sun sank into the sea, the two navies lit their lights, and countless lights seemed to float on the sea. A beautiful river of light,
No one noticed that an hour ago, a gray homing pigeon flew into the sky.
The dark sea is full of up and down currents, and the road ahead is confused, and no specific things can be seen at all. The distance between the two chasing fleets is short and long. Several times, the non-Navy felt that they were about to catch up, but The sudden acceleration of the opponent makes the distance more and more difficult to figure out,
"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, although I am not sure, I think the direction in which the other party is fleeing seems to be Port Liston"
is just a non-Navy flagship, a temporary military meeting is being held, the wind lanterns hung on the cabin are blown from side to side, a chart is placed on the back seat, the commander of the Second Fleet Roland Lefieble stands up, fingers Looking at a point on the chart, he said to Hobro, the commander-in-chief of the Gangfei Navy.
"Oh, when did you have such a break?"
Hobro, the white-haired commander-in-chief, rested his chin and tilted his head. His focused gaze was on Roland, and Leffibre stopped at the position of his fingers,
"One hour before noon"
Roland Lefibere said solemnly, "I suddenly found on the ship’s side that the enemy ahead had turned into the offshore area. This should not be done to avoid the undercurrents in the sea, but to minimize the escape to the final destination. From the chart, we can find that a straight line is drawn from our current position and the other side’s position. The end of the straight line is the Port of Liston located 120 nautical miles away here!"
"Are you saying that the other party is fleeing towards Port Liston?"
Hobro retracted his gaze from the map and raised his head to look at Roland. Lefuble. Said, "As an experienced naval commander, you know very well that the outcome of this pursuit is whether the enemy can stop the enemy before hiding safely in the port. If you can half-cut the direction of the opponent's fleet in advance, A squadron can be sent in advance to intercept from other angles, but if the opponent takes the straightest route, the possibility of interception will be very low! Even if we know the opponent’s destination, we have no way."
"No, on the contrary, I think this is our opportunity!"
Roland took a deep breath and said, "The opponent will definitely think it is absolutely safe, but ignores a very important issue, that is, the opponent’s warships have huge and large heavy warships. These warships will To delay the speed of the entire fleet, if we can form an intercepting fleet with light ships with superior speed, go around from the side of the opponent, volts outside the destination of the port of Liston, and the main fleet trails. When the time comes, it will inevitably hit the enemy back and forth. !"
"This is a good way! But who will lead this fleet?"
Hobro has expressed his approval of this battle plan with his rich experience, but who do we send to command this fleet that has left the team and may even end up in a deadly battle? The face of Commander-in-Chief Hobro showed a trace of solemnity!
Under Hobro’s gaze, the commanders and admirals of the other fleets bowed their heads, and some even whispered, "What kind of plan is this to die? It's just a dead end. Just let the other party escape." Why bother to fight to the death!"
"What? No one wants it?" A trace of disappointment flashed in Hobro's eyes. The defeat of the Third and Fourth Fleet, the blood of thousands of soldiers, ultimately failed to make these navy admirals glow as a soldier. Heart of Sacrifice
"If no one wants, I hope I can!"
A young voice sounded, Roland. A man stood up beside Lefibere, with dark blond hair and a straight and handsome figure. It was from the Third Fleet that he rushed to report his letter, and then he was taken by Roland. Rousseau Wanda, whom Lefebule accepted as adjutant
"You?" Hobro looked at the young man. A sharp light flashed in his old and deep eyes. He knew that the outside world was not good at the young officer's reputation, and he escaped twice in a row. , Has been ridiculed by the outside world as "Lucky Rousseau Wolda." But in this young man, Hobro felt that he saw a glimmer of hope in the navy ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Is there anyone else? "
Hobro didn’t immediately agree, but looked at other people,
Everyone was silent. An interception fleet composed of light warships wanted to stop a huge fleet with heavy fleets and giant warships. This in itself meant tragedy and sacrifice. The commander who carried out such a plan, Must have the faith of decisive death! The result of the front and back flanking is most likely to stop the fleet’s annihilation. Enemies who drive with all their strength to survive will tear up any enemy blocking in front like a fierce wolf pack, not to mention that these enemies have just been torn apart. The Third Fleet and Fourth Fleet!
"Well, it seems that everyone will have no objection to this appointment!" Hobro turned his head to look at the young man with a straight body like a sword, and rarely smiled. "From now on, I appoint Rousseau Vandal as the commander of the 7th Assault Fleet. According to this power, you can select 30 battleships from each fleet suitable for this operation. Let’s set off tonight. Let’s see you in Port Liston!"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, see you in Port Liston!"
Rousseau Wanda’s upright body was full of movement, and he respectfully saluted the white-haired commander-in-chief, turned and walked out of the meeting, he regarded this appointment as his last chance to wash his stigma, if If you can't succeed, then use the brave battle to kill those guys to shut up!
