Power and Empire Chapter 3098: Aden Battle Cloud (8)

On the extended sea, the warships of the Yading flag are densely parked. Under the impact of sea wind and waves, the ships are up and down between the blue water and blue sky.

The white line-like tide washed up on the beach. In the high-tide sea, huge ruins along the coast can be seen faintly. On the waist-deep shallows, rows of black wooden pillars are soaked in the sea. The ruins are chilling. These wooden rafts and hull wrecks are like the black forest that suddenly emerged from the sea, spreading across the coastline formed by the staggered angles of 90 degrees. The number is so large that it is very impressive. Staggering, it looks like a huge cemetery. Yes, this is a cemetery, the cemetery of naval battleships. From the obstruction ring formed by most of the hull leaning out of the water, you can see how many battleships are there. It sinks under the sea and uses shipwrecks to form a screen to block the fleet

This was once the naval base camp of the former Yugoslav Empire, and now it is the lair of the Nanxi pirates. It used to be the port with the largest throughput of the entire Nansi coast, an excellent natural deep-water port, and the strongest navy in the Nansi Empire. At the time, it was possible to berth one hundred large-scale thorny sailing warships at the time that the Nanxi Empire was most proud of. It was the site of the largest naval port of the Nanxi Navy at that time. The Nanxi Navy once set off from here to shock the entire Aden waters, but five The great battle ten years ago brought the hegemony era of the Nanxi navy to an abrupt end, and with it, there was a huge naval port that demonstrated the splendor and hegemony of the Nanxi navy.

At the beginning, in order to develop the navy, the Nanxi Empire continued to migrate from the mainland to this island chain for nearly a hundred years, trying to expand a considerable urban area on this island, where the most populous At that time, the total number of civilians, sailors, merchants, soldiers, mercenaries, etc. gathered here exceeded 200,000, but the final result was regrettable. Due to the civil war of the Southern Empire, the sea area was brutally blocked by the Aden Navy, which was migration. The people who came back went back one after another. In order to survive, the last ones who stayed drove dilapidated ships and attacked the Aden merchant ships. They were the predecessors of the Nanxi pirates.

The powerful empire that originally owned the entire Nansi Peninsula has evolved into more than a dozen kingdoms including the Kingdom of Morsel. In this case, these wooden port facilities have been under the impact of seawater for 50 years. , Eventually turned into bare wooden piles, slapped by the waves, and seemed to be telling the scene of the battleships like clouds and the sails covering the sky, although in the eyes of the Admirals of Aden, Nan The pirates are a group of cowards. They never dare to face the last time and only harass those merchant ships. However, they have been entangled with the powerful Aden Navy for fifty years, but it is an indisputable fact. The base camp of the pirates of Nanxi is in Taihu. Bay, it’s not a secret.

The navy has launched several encirclement and suppression operations against Taihu Bay, but eventually it was cut off from logistics. Don't look at Taihu Bay as an island close to the mainland, but its area is 34 miles.

And this time, when the main force of the Aden navy departed from the port, the first batch of the Aden Lu family who accompanied it had a total of 50,000 soldiers. In order to avoid possible dangers at sea, the navy commander Gude Yage let the fleet follow The first goal of the coastline is Taihu Island. Since the Lu family is willing to put out 50,000 people to try, the Navy will definitely not be stingy.

At the hall meeting, Lord of the Navy said in person that if the Lu family was willing, the navy could safely deliver it to any place, but the Lu family obviously didn’t believe it, and then someone proposed to Thailand. Tiger Island "If even the remnants of the South China Navy's navy can't be dealt with, then how can we believe that the navy has the strength to send us to China and Biya"!

The time when the main force of the Aden Navy arrived at Taihu Island was in the afternoon. Large swaths of sea waves rolled and rolled from the sea to the front of Taihu Island without mercy. The waves here are more than one meter high at the gentlest time, and the average wave height is over two meters at the strongest time. The waves slapped on the dilapidated and dilapidated shore of Taihu Island. The waves splashed up and made a huge roar. People who are not familiar with this place will feel a little frightened. It seems that I have felt something. The waves on Taihu Island today are particularly fierce. The weather has been overcast and uncertain since the morning. Although the sun is still shining, there is a strong wind on the sea. The average wind force is over seven. On Baidao The extremely fast sailing clippers drove over first. The strong wind drove the sea water to form a turbulent wave that hit the ship's side. The wobbly wave impacted by the waves also sounded loudly at this time, and the impact of the waves made a huge sound to the heart. Big shock.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!

"The bells on the island are also one after another. Regarding the enemies appearing on the sea, the island is in chaos, and the alarm bells rang into a whole. No one would have thought that the Aden Navy would be crushed so grandly, due to today's wind and waves. It's too big. The pirates of Nanxi still use the old warships that have been used for decades. They are all lying in the harbor. Now they can see countless Aden naval flags flying on the sea level. For a while, the entire pirates feel that their scalp is numb. , I don’t know what to do, many people are dumbfounded, fight? It must be a fight. There is a huge gap between the pirate equipment and the regular army, and now I can only take the old way to escape into the island.

But this time, the main force of the Aden Navy is clearly well prepared.

"Commander, everything is ready, can you start?" An Aden navy officer came up from behind and respectfully said to Gudeyage, the commander of the Aden navy, who was standing on the bow of the flagship and staring forward.

"Let's get started!" Gudeya nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled imperceptibly

This is not the first few times. In order to clear away any possible obstacles, the Aden Navy and the Lu family cooperated to clean up the coastal areas. Naturally, Taihu Island is the top priority, and the Aden Navy and the South China Navy are entangled. After so many years, who still doesn't know who? Although the South China Navy is dead in name, its organizational structure is still the same as that of the previous South China Navy. The general fleet is divided into four groups, front and rear, two guards, and central. In order to distinguish the respective fleets, four colors are used on the flag. Liao said that red is the offensive fleet, blue is the support fleet, Bose is the flanking fleet, and purple is the fleet responsible for the queen.

The sea breeze became more violent, and the squally drove the waves. Hundreds of the Aden Navy were like a huge razor, breaking the blue sea in front of them with their bows. In front of them, the pirates of Nanxi broke the old warship, The black is overwhelming. Whether it is from Aden or Nanxi, the eyes are red at this moment. This is another confrontation between the two sides fifty years later, but the original balance of power has been completely reversed.

"Go in, we can't let the people of Aden look down upon us!"

In the Nanxi pirate ship group, some warships that did not obey the command attacked on their own. The great sea battle fifty years ago was a thorn in the hearts of all Nanxi people. This thorn has been pierced for too long and too deep, not to mention this Sub-Aden’s posture is obviously to uproot Taihu Island, so there is nothing to negotiate.

"Full sail, let's rush over first"

"Pay attention to the opponent's shooter"

"Where's the sling, smash it, smash it hard for me"

The fleets of both sides don’t even need the most basic mobilization. They are directly intertwined and rumbling. The black oil barrels ejected from the Aden naval battleship are like raindrops, slamming on them. On the opposite hull, broken wooden barrels poured black oil and water into the deck of the opponent’s ship, a flying rocket fell, and flames rose from the deck, and the sailors above jumped and jumped into the sea by themselves, but they The nightmare began. The rolling stones from the Aden naval ship fell on the sea like raindrops. The sailors floating on the water continued to be lifted up and agitated to form huge splashes, which caused many southern sailors to be directly affected. Swept in,

Under such circumstances, the human body must pay a heavy price if it wants to rush into this isolation zone. Those who were unfortunately hit didn't even have the chance to scream. The fragmented limbs floated on the sea, the waves undulated, and then were torn apart by the waves, and some disappeared directly into the waves, being thrown high and overturned by the waves. Come and buckle on the sea

"Hold on, don't be afraid!"

As for the pirates of Nanxi, although the warships are old, the battle is very tenacious. Regarding the black oil bombs of the Aden Navy, the attack methods of the pirates of Nanxi are still the catapults of 50 years ago. It has only been improved several times. Both the accuracy and the launch time have been improved a lot. The sling projectile thrown from the Nanxi warship, as long as it hits, will be a huge damage to the bridge and deck like a storm sweeping by, with endless smashing sounds.

"Pop", the deck of a sailing battleship in Aden was mostly shattered by heavy rolling stones, like a huge fountain in the middle of the water column, and there were countless pieces of wooden planks from the battleship flying around. The lethality of these sawdust fragments is equally huge, but it can break the mast and tear the sails. For the sailors running back and forth on the deck, it is even more catastrophic, and the screams continue to be heard in an instant. The waves suddenly surged even more severely, and many of the warships of the Southern pirates had their masts torn apart, one end was inserted into the water, and then disappeared on the spot. Watching this scene, a young man with flaxen hair among the pirate leader of Nanxi clenched his distressed fingers together.

"The people of Aden are going to kill them all"

The youth’s eyes flickered with sorrow. Judging from the moment, the number of warships mobilized by Aden was even more than that of pirates. This is definitely the number of main naval forces in the rumor. The huge disparity in the strength of the two sides is Procrastination, the more disadvantaged! He was not the only one who saw this. Some fast-moving pirates of Nanxi were quietly turning, seeming to want to escape from the battlefield, but the side deck exposed by the turning of the ship was violently attacked by the Aden Navy. During the bombardment, a rolling stone bullet collided and squeezed on the side of the ship, and a large amount of sawdust was brought out. The rockets fired by both sides had to be hung up, and the sails became riddled with holes in a moment

In the "huhu" roaring sea breeze, the entire sea area that was shining by the blazing fire was red, and there were burning ships making crackling sounds everywhere, just like fireworks. Many burning ships sank silently after burning, and the battleship of Aden equipped with black oil bombs was ignited with black oil stabbed and lifted half of the deck with a bang.

"You can't fight anymore. If you fight again, you will all die here!" The flaxen youth showed a heartbroken expression on his face. The Nanxi pirates were formerly known as the Nanxi Navy, because they were unmanaged. Under the circumstances, these former Yugoslav navy soldiers still stubbornly adhere to the idea of ​​avenging the people of Aden. Generation after generation, fifty years, for nearly three generations, among these Nanxi pirates, how many people have grown together? The big friends are father and son, brothers. Some of them are completely disappointed and left in Nanxi, but more people choose to stay, hoping to use the efforts of several generations to preserve the once glorious essence of the Nanxi Navy

Although they are operating the old warship fifty years ago, using the simplest weapons, they don’t even have a pair of armor on them~IndoMTL.com~, but everyone still has the Nanxi passed down by the predecessors in their homes. The uniform of the navy restores the glory of the ancestors, allowing Nanxi to rise again in the Aden Sea. This is the belief that has been passed down from childhood, from their grandparents and parents, but now it is all over. As the navy, the most fundamental weapon Still a ship, even if you want to be a navy without a ship, you are not qualified. If all the ships are damaged here. They are the descendants of the South China Navy no longer exist.

"Boom Rumble" suddenly a very violent explosion interrupted Guillermo's regret. He hurriedly concentrated on looking at it, his mind suddenly collapsed, and his face suddenly became bloodless. Under the siege of five or six Aden naval warships, the warship of Nanxi flying the golden flag detonated a large amount of kerosene accumulated on the ship. It was the flagship of the entire Nanxi fleet and the most glorious May Jinhua ever. A battleship that represents the last spirit of the Nanxi Navy. The high masts were blown into several sections and flew directly to the next ship. The hull showed a clear tilt. If nothing else, at most half an hour later, this Nanxi The biggest battleship of the naval era will be submerged in the sea

"Flagship orders, each evacuate!"

"Flagship orders, each evacuate!"

This is a semaphore that has been tilted on the flagship. Guillermo’s eyes were blurred by countless tears, and his fingers clasped tightly into the deck
