Power and Empire Chapter 3106: Masi Xingyue (1)
The sunset is shining on the coastline on the side of the strait, dragging a long slanting line like a crescent moon, and countless sail masts are bathed in the sunset, a beautiful dreamlike scene. Let Gudeya, the commander of the Aden Navy’s eyes narrowed into a line, even if he had seen such a sight dozens of times, the old admiral of the Aden Navy’s eyes were still full of a solemn luster
The golden strait in front of you under the setting sun is called "Masi Crescent Strait". For the Kingdom of Aden, this is the only way from the Gulf of Aden to the eastern continent. At this moment, a person General Aden, wearing the uniform of General Aden, stood beside Gudeya, his eyes swept across the wide strait in front of him with a sharp voice, and his voice said with a deep emotion, "It's really a beautiful sight. Standing here, looking at the past, like I saw the star and moon of Aden rising on the Eastern Road, Commander-in-Chief Gudeyago, this is the famous star-moon corridor among other populations."
"Yes, the Masi Crescent Strait is similar to the star and moon on the flag of the Kingdom of Aden, so this long and narrow bend linking the southern waters of Central and Biyah and the waters of Aden is called the Star-Moon Corridor." Hearing the unadorned words of praise from the general Aden, there was a rare smile on the old admiral Gudeya’s face, and his old eyes flashed deeply
"This is also a magical corridor that runs through the east. On weekdays, there are very few wind and waves. The islands on both sides prevent the raging storm. Ships usually stop in the corridor. Even if there is no trade, they must be there to supplement food and Fresh water, the trade ship that crosses the Sea of Aden is from here, continuously transporting various special products from Southern Europe, diamonds and fine iron from Europe, and pearls from countries in the Gulf of Aden to the east wind. The mainland, even the cheapest goods, is a sky-high price when it comes to the Eastern Continent. It was because the people of Nanxi had mastered this golden corridor that they became the overlord of the Nanxi region. At the beginning, the Kingdom of Aden had to go up and down even if they took risks. Another reason for the decisive battle of the Imperial Navy of Nanxi was that in addition to breaking the blockade of the Nanxi navy, it also needed to take this corridor from the people of Nanxi at all costs, otherwise the kingdom of Aden would only be affected by Nanxi for a long time. Part of the suppression of the empire"
"Your Excellency was talking about the Battle of Mars Harbor? After the main force of the Nanxian Navy was destroyed, the Lu family of Aden stormed Mars Bay with 50,000 soldiers, commanded by Lord Demargo, the **** of war, and fought for three days. For three nights, both sides were exhausted and unable to make a breakthrough. It is said that in the end Duke DeMargo sent all his two sons to the battlefield. This action greatly inspired the whole army, and finally our army captured Mars Harbor. But the two sons of Duke DeMargo also died together. It is a pity that the family of Duke DeMargo, a generation of God of War, is like this. *WwW.suimeng.lā..." The army general standing beside him issued a statement. With a sigh of emotion, it was Yiya, who had nominated himself at the meeting. The decision of the Kingdom of Aden to attack Biya has been completely unfolded. In the gap where all parties are preparing, Yiya, as the chief of the Lu family’s first attack echelon Commander, I personally found Brother Gudeya and asked to come and take a look at this vital star-moon corridor
"For the battlefield you are about to face, it is necessary to know the situation in advance"
For such a request, Gudeya had no reason to refuse, and he personally accompanied him. In the process of getting along, Gudeya also discovered that the youngest new general of the Kingdom’s Lu family faction, he had no reason to resist the navy. Without much prejudice, after talking for a while, Yiya’s voice paused and continued, "A Duke family that has continuously lost excellent heirs, even if it is called the **** of war by later generations, cannot escape the fate of decline. The fierce battle ten years ago reached the summit in one fell swoop. After the death of Duke DeMargo, the family was torn apart due to internal fighting. The famous Duke family has now been reduced to a small earl family in a remote area. "
"The sacrifices made by the Lord Duke for the kingdom will be remembered forever by Mas Crescent! Just like you and me now, when you see this beautiful and unusual Crescent Corridor, the first thing you think of is the blood of the corpse mountain. The battle of the sea!" Gudeya looked excited and withdrew his gaze from a distance. "It was not only the Lu family who suffered terrible losses, but also the navy lost a generation of elites. Although the loss of that war was huge, it also replaced me in Aden. After fifty years of strong rise, otherwise it is now the world of Nanxi Empire"
"I heard that the South Sea side and the Falcon Empire side have secretly colluded with each other. "Yiya hesitated." In this case, the commander also asked the Admiralty's Central and Bahia Squadron to attack. Could it be that Your Commander-in-Chief is not worried at all"
"It's just a guess." The old admiral stared at the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance, with a touch of arrogance on the old face." I was really worried, but now the remnants of Nan Xi have ran into the Devil's Reef for more than ten days. There is no news. In fact, across this Mars Star-Moon Corridor, even if Nanxi is really connected with the Empire, how much effect can it play? Since you want to see how our navy is capable, then wait. In a few days, I believe there will be news that will excite your Excellency soon. Although the dispatched this time is only a squadron scale, it is the main fleet formed by our Aden Navy after decades of painstaking efforts. The admiral of the ship or the commander Mohammer appointed by me personally is definitely the leading commander in the navy. The war is about to come, and just one victory will be used to invigorate the whole army. You will not be disappointed."
"So, I will wait to see the navy return with the victory"
Yiya saw that Gudeya said that he was full of confidence, and his face was moved. As the commander of the first echelon of the Lu family, he knew that once the Lu family got on the transport ship, the survival of the tens of thousands of troops in the first echelon would be almost complete. He is leaning on the navy, this kind of thing cannot be taken for granted. In the past six months, the navy has been retreating in the South China Sea area of Zhongbia, which has also moved him and worried. That’s why he sent it here to take a look, the Royal Navy. True strength,
And Gudeya also knows Yiya’s thoughts. The squadron sent this time is strong. Gudeya believes that even if he encounters the Imperial Navy, he will have the power to fight, and he was born in chief of staff. In Gudeya's heart, he is a commander with a calm combat and a dense mind. The admirals are also veterans who have fought against the Imperial Navy many times. No matter how bad they are, how bad can they be!
Mars Harbor in the dark night, densely packed lights are reflected on the sea, like the Milky Way in the sky flowing on both sides of the harbour. After decades of development, Mars Harbor has become a veritable super harbor, with merchant ships traveling between the east and the west. The total population of the squadron, the navy fleet, and the navy’s family members has exceeded 200,000. Regarding the main force of the squadron that left the port three days ago, the Maas Port and the commander-in-chief are full of confidence in victory. ,
"This is a victory without suspense, as simple as a matter of course"
More than sixty battleships, two hundred transport ships, and 12,000 landing infantrymen. Such strength is placed in the South China Sea area of Central and Biyah. It is enough to conquer a small country, not to mention the attack of the squadron. The goal is just that the main navy force is not on Anta Island. Intelligence shows that the force on Anta Island of the Imperial Army is less than 4,000. With three times the strength, the isolated and helpless Imperial Army can only be crushed.
Just in the evening, a broken warship appeared at one end of the long and narrow corridor like the crescent moon in Mas Harbor. The watchpoint of the port spotted the battleship for the first time. The soldiers of Aden on the watchpoint couldn’t believe it. Looking at the swaying in the distance, the almost slanted warship came towards the star-moon promenade. The inherent sleek hull of the Aden warship and the double-flag tradition hanging on the heights proved that it was a warship of Aden without a doubt. Soon, someone recognized this warship,
"It is the Thangkasu, you see, the double flag flying is the family splendor of the Mimagu family"
"Oh my God, the Thangkasu is one of the three heavy ships with the largest tonnage in the squadron. What happened to it! The hull of the sail is about to be shattered. If it weren't for the ocean currents, I'm afraid it would have been too early. I don’t know where I’ve been.” The soldiers on the sentry tower have been completely blinded. In their minds, it still looks like a few days ago, the battleships leaving the gorge like rushing beasts. The huge and heavy hull is full of the Aden Navy’s must-have. The vigor of victory, and the sinking ship in front of us, can’t be equated at all. As the Thangkasu slowly docked at the pier, the news of the fleet’s defeat spread like a hurricane
"The fleet is destroyed? How is this possible!"
Navy Commander Gudeyago, who was discussing the combat details with Yiya, suddenly stood up from the sofa, looked at the captain of the battleship Donkasu with his gauze in his arms, and suddenly received the squadron. The news of the defeat was like a slap in the face of his self-confidence, and he was still assuring Xie Ya that he could win. It took only half a day, and that was the situation.
"What about Mohamer, what the **** is going on, attacking Anta where the main naval force is absent with such power, and still the result, what is he doing?" Gudeya's eyes are bloodshot, and it is in his heart at this moment. Flashing with the urge to kill, is it true that he has misunderstood the person? Mohamer, the chief of staff, is just a boastful fellow?
"Our army had already captured an imperial gun emplacement, but on that night, the main force of the Imperial Navy rushed back to Anta Island. During the night, the main force of the Imperial Navy rushed back to the back of our fleet. Our fleet fought desperately, and finally lost in the Empire. The navy is under the three-three ship tactic... Lord Mohamer ordered the fleet to fight to death, and then... his subordinates are not clear!"
The pale-faced Captain Thangkasu talked about the process of attacking Anta. Speaking of facing the attack, Mohamer ordered the fleet to fight to death. Gudeya's face would look better. If it is silent Hammer’s command error caused serious damage to the fleet. As the one who recommended him as the commander of the squadron, he must be inevitable. But now, it is possible to push the defeat of the war to the shamelessness of the imperial navy.
"You go down first!" Gudeya waved his hand to the captain, and at the same time ordered the coastal defense post to always pay attention to other returning warships that may appear on the sea. The entire fleet cannot be annihilated, since The Tangkasu can escape, so other warships should also be able to escape
Near the entrance of the swarthy strait, seventeen dragon-tooth warships quietly stopped in the shadow of the island like ghosts, lined up diagonally in a line, the commander of the naval squadron, Castige, looked out with a bronze shell. Mirror, looking at the brightly lit Gulf of Star and Moon in front of him, his eyes flashed with a sly luster, following the Aden naval wreck all the way, reminding Castig of one thing he used to do when he was a pirate, that is, secretly. The practice of hiding behind other fleets and sneaking into the port is very common among pirates. After all, pirates are unpopular. Once a pirate ship is found close, it will attract a severe blow from the navy, but the pirates also need to go ashore to rest and supply, so There is this kind of seemingly risky, but actually very safe method,
Mixed in the wreck of the return to Aden, entering the port of Masi, which is regarded as the nest by the Aden navy, makes this possibility extremely close in front of the dark night,
"Commander, the sea has fogged up. Three battleships in Aden have passed in front. The port has no bells ringing!" The adjutant said excitedly from the side.
"Then proceed. The fleet will be carried out in groups of three ships." The sea breeze was cold and dry, causing Casti to lick the chapped lips blown by the sea breeze unconsciously, and ordered to go down, the sailors on the deck of the fleet. The sails were quickly pulled apart, and "The waves turned, and the sails of the Dragon Tooth battleship dropped up to the high mast for half a night. In addition to the Imperial flag, there was also a cloth patch that looked like a military flag, and even On some masts, where is a big pants hung, under the fierce sea breeze, there is a popping sound
The admirals of the "Advance" Imperial Dragon Tooth ship boiled with enthusiasm, confronting the head of the warship speeding up to split the oncoming huge waves, raising the command knife in their hands, Mas Crescent, the most proud and proud Star-Moon Corridor of the Aden Navy , Because of the previous experience, the port watchtower is no stranger to the dark shadows slowly appearing on the sea
"Oh, it looks like another survivor!"
"Let it go, it's because these guys are already so downhearted! Every time I see their puffed chins, I want to kick them with my big feet. Now I'm kicked by the Imperial Navy~IndoMTL.com~ Also deserves it"
An Aden soldier on the sentry tower curled his mouth in disdain. As a port defender, he had never dealt with these arrogant combat navies. The fleet navy mocked them for hiding in turtle shells and looking at the sea. Worms, they mocked the fleet navy as a group of skinny dogs beaten by the imperial navy,
"This is Mas Xingyue!" Standing at the bow of the Imperial Dragon Tooth battleship, Castigy opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and his eyes swept across the strait with lights like stars. Large and small houses were round. The spire occupies a huge area to the right of the constellation fifty miles long and wide. There are countless lights, like the twinkling stars in the night sky. The sea surface is also supported by both sides, showing a gray and white color, light and deep like a dreamlike sea. /
"Boarding Preparation" took a deep breath and snapped his fingers.
The side baffle of the battleship opened silently, and the black muzzle was exposed. Castige felt the rumbling sound of the gun chamber under his feet, and the gun shaft rolling on the gun chamber deck, like an unknown catalyst. , In this semi-silent state, like a volcano that is accumulating power, waiting for the moment when it erupts with full force
Tonight, it is destined to have a big surprise
