Power and Empire Chapter 3182: Toggle (6)
The sunshine in the southern sea of Central and Biyah was still quite violent in August. When a report came from the Imperial Navy fleet, the commander of the Fifth Squadron of the Aden Navy who had been traveling for two months under such scorching sun Official Actamas’ tired and numb face showed a look of astonishment. The adjutant asked anxiously, but he saw his Shangguan staring straight ahead with frowning. The imperial navy came out too suddenly, and the navy had been hiding for two months. , Now suddenly appeared, even the calm commander would be at a loss, Actamas straightened up and said to himself, "What is the Emperor's attempt? What are they thinking of?"
"Commander!"
The young adjutant looked stunned, thinking that Actamas asked a little bit inexplicably. The emperor’s intention was nothing more than to devote all his strength to attacking the fleet, but after thinking about it, the adjutant’s expression changed, and he remembered that this return was not a return under normal circumstances. It was in the transport fleet behind. In addition, there are 11 thousand Aden Army soldiers transferred back to Mas Crescent Bay to strengthen the defense. In order to ensure the safe transportation, the entire Aden Navy has mobilized a total of 80 warship escorts, divided into three batches before and after, and two have been sent in front. A squadron responsible for cleaning up, everything went well, but when it was the fleet responsible for transportation, it hit the imperial navy’s ambush circle. There’s no problem here. I’m afraid it’s killed. I don’t believe it. There is no doubt that this transportation was The secret was leaked. . . . . . . Thinking of this, the young adjutant's face was already pale, frightened and dry.
"Order all the heavy warships to move closer to the flagship. We must be steady and not messy! Now we can only hope that the encounter with the Imperial Navy is just an accident, not a well-designed ambush, and we must never let the Imperial warship bite the transport ship. , Even if we are all dead here, we can’t escape the blame"
Actamas pressed his hands heavily on the bridge beams and saw the heavy battleship torn to pieces under the imperial navy fire. He couldn't help but glance at the direction of the transport fleet that was turning urgently behind him, depressed. There is a tragic voice in it
Although Aden’s domestic navy is at odds with the Lu family, as a naval commander, he really can’t do the act of discarding tens of thousands of Aden’s army and fleeing alone. Actamas didn’t know that this time the Empire The navy really came across dead mice. It was because the first two batches of sweeping fleets were spotted by the Imperial Navy, and Casti, who had a good understanding of the Aden Navy’s combat style, made it possible that there must be a transport fleet behind. Judging, the size of the Aden Navy’s transport fleet this time can indeed be described as huge. There are a total of 180 large transport ships, accounting for one-half of the entire Aden Navy’s transport fleet, and tens of thousands of troops are still transporting ships. The logistics of the 200,000 troops that landed also need these transport ships. Once these transport ships are all destroyed in this sea area, even Actamas dare not think about the subsequent results.
"Can't those transport ships turn faster?"
Even the adjutant next to him was complaining, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. It was really too stressful. From the current point of view, the imperial navy on the opposite side seemed to be shocked by the power of the Aden heavy battleship, but it was far away. The distant ones are staring like a pack of wolves. If they find the transport fleet behind, I’m afraid the Dragonfang warship, known as the naval battle razor, would have come up from the flanks a long time ago.
"Commander, the opposing warships are gathering towards the flagship." The voice from the watcher above made the squadron commander Kasti secretly relieved, because he was too concerned about the opponent's combat fleet until now, Casti also did not notice that the opponent’s transport fleet was too large. According to Casti’s strategic plan, in the face of the sudden emergence of the Imperial Navy, the Aden Navy should be committed to seeking a decisive battle, while the Imperial Navy’s warships avoided the main force and slowed down. Slowly and accurately consume the number of the Aden Navy, as long as the frigate group is eliminated, even if the transport ship runs away, it will not be a problem!
"Oh, my goodness!"
Suddenly the voice of the watcher from above came again. As an experienced watcher, being able to make such a sound in amazement immediately made Casti’s nerves collapse. You must know that the two batches of the Aden Navy have passed. Fleet, although it is predicted that the third batch should be transport fleets, but who dares to say, there will be no combat fleets following closely,
"What's wrong, did you find a new enemy?"
Kasty raised his head, her questioning voice a little impetuous. Others also calmed down. The entire deck was silent, except for the thunderous roar of the Imperial Dragon Tooth battleship coming out from a distance. It was like a thunder in the sky over a dull summer, and the air that was driven was all in the east of Enen. The battleship Sty was on was the Gale, one of the three main Dragon-class battleships of the squadron. Because of its size, the three Dragon-class battleships were located in the rear of the entire fleet. They did not enter the front battle at the beginning. It is to deal with enemy reinforcements that may appear at any time, but the slow speed of the Dragon Class is also the biggest weakness. Once it is really bitten by the main force of the Aden Navy here, it will be a battle of life and death. Casti does not want to hold back for more than two months. , Once it came out, it was a battle of life and death. Although the strength of the squadron is not what it used to be, especially with the addition of three Dragon-class battleships, the number of Thor Runs has doubled, but facing the main force of the Aden Navy, it is still a little powerless!
"Ahead, just behind the opponent's frigate group, except for the transport ships that I saw first, the number is still increasing, at least more than 130!" The looker at the heights looked extremely excited
"More than one hundred and thirty ships? Are you sure" Casti couldn't help but breathe a breath of air when he heard this astonishing number. The imperial sailors on the deck of the battleship were also in an uproar.
"One hundred and thirty ships. According to the two-month observation report of the Aden Navy, the number of transport ships dispatched by the Aden Navy this time is about 300. In other words, we accidentally captured the entire Aden Navy. About half of the transport ships"
"This time I really made a lot of money, and I don’t know what kind of mold the Aden Navy has gotten, but it made us encounter "the imperial sailors talked a lot,
"Just a lot more!" The voice of the watchman, and then the imperial sailors on the deck excitedly shouted. Amidst the cheers of the imperial sailors, the corners of Casti's mouth almost reached the ears of laughter. When I was in the Strand navy, I was called the "Kasty of Good Luck". I did not expect to be in the Imperial Navy. Not only did my good fortune not weaken, but it became stronger and stronger. From the Aden naval interval In the sneak attack on Mas Crescent Bay, in addition to the careless accident of the Aden Navy, luck accounted for at least 60%, and the first attack after two months of incubation, it suddenly rushed to such a prey,
"Through my order, the Dragon-class battleship marches in. All the Dragon-fang battleships don't entangle the opposing heavy battleships, go around from the side, and launch a full-line attack on the enemy transport fleet!" Casti commanded loudly and at the same time. The three Dragon-class battleships moved forward in the shape of a character. Following the order, the Dragon-class battleships were at full speed. The huge white sails were blown by the sea breeze and swelled, driving the heavy hull. Open,
The sea breeze rushed towards his face, as if being pushed by something huge. The Aden’s flagship Aden was commanding in the distance, and Akotamas suddenly froze. The huge imperial warship that appeared on the opposite side seemed to be The dragon in the sea jumped out. Under the golden blazing sun, the battleship with the huge falcon navy flag shook the sea like a mountain, especially the side of the battleship. As a mark of the Empire’s powerful firepower, the Thunder's baffle was like a scale. Turned out, three rows, I have never seen three rows of black Thor's gun bodies protruding from the gun hatch in the black pressure hole, like opening huge fangs, it is daunting
This is the type of warship that the Aden Navy has ever seen before in the Central and Bahia waters, so that the entire fleet became turbulent at once. The three huge warships that suddenly appeared, both in tonnage and firepower, are far away. Far more than the Dragon Tooth battleship encountered before, the Imperial Navy sent three ships from the sea for the first time.
"Immediately send someone to ask for help from Luoyan Island!"
Actamas shouted that Luoyan Island is fifty miles away from here. After looking at the three giant ships of the Imperial Navy, Actamas knew that all his resistance was in vain, and now he can only I hope that Luoyan Island will be able to respond to the escaped transport ships as much as possible, and they will be able to run one by one, right?
"Yes, Commander"
The adjutant next to him responded, but his actions and expressions were full of despair. At a distance of fifty nautical miles, under the bite of the Imperial Navy’s Longfang battleship, God knows how many transport ships can reach Luoyan Island. When the adjutant turned around, a flash of light from a distance instantly turned his face white, and the flax butterfly run-up of the Dragon-class battleship began to attack, and a heavy battleship next to it exploded. , Strongly irritating everyone’s eyes, the broken wood from the hull even hit Actamas’s arm, Actamas covered his bruised arm with one hand, and Banter leaned against the ship. On the bridge
The details of the huge and ferocious Dragon-class battleship in the distance gradually appeared before his eyes. The sea breeze blows, and the huge falcon navy flag waving on the mast of the Dragon-class battleship flutters in the wind, like a sword that cuts through the blue sky.
"It's the Dragon class. The Imperial Navy has deployed Dragon class warships in the waters of Central and Bahia!"
Actamas's eyes were red, and he waved his hand to push away the sailor who was supporting him. His angry hair stood up one by one, his face turned blue, his fingers clenched sharply, and even stuck into the palm of his hand, but Ai Ketamas had no sense. As the commander of the Aden Navy, he was naturally thunderous to the Imperial Navy’s super-ace battleship Dragon-class, which had conquered the entire inland sea. A sense of shock, even the experienced Ekta Mascher could feel that his blood was frozen, and there was a tight tingling sensation on his face.
The main gun of the powerful Dragon-class battleship broke out again. This time, a medium-sized Aden warship was chewed up. The violent explosion tore the sides of this medium-sized warship apart. Numerous fragments were like sharp blades. It snapped on the sails hanging on the mast, and then a rain of debris fell from above, and the flames spread on the hull. There was a crackling sound in the wind, and the sailors on the deck were shaken to pieces. They rolled around, and a large swath fell in densely. The flames broke through the deck, drawing many people in, and burst into flames in pain. Jumped into the sea,
"It's Ruixiefang!" someone on the deck exclaimed,
This is a huge mistake. Actamas is heartbroken. The Imperial Navy has deployed the Dragon class in Central and Biyah, but the Aden Navy has not received any news. If the Aden Navy knows that the Imperial Navy Squadron has Dragon class warships, It will never be so easy to let the transport fleet go on the road. The misjudgment in intelligence and the huge loopholes in the layout eventually led to a completely irreparable situation.
"The Luandre was shot and caught fire"
"Flying was hit by fire"
The report from the adjutant makes Actamas full of powerlessness
The fierce firepower of the Imperial Dragon-class battleship made Actamas regret the order to close the entire fleet. He did not expect that the Dragon-class with three rows of muzzles on the side is simply a sea fort~ IndoMTL.com~Especially at close range, countless white lines across the sea, like a storm and hail, smashed over with a harsh whistling, which is a piece of coverage of the jurisdiction, so strong crushing, so that the entire frigate group Like a target being beaten, the dragon-level firepower entering the attack range is full of firepower, bursts of gunpowder smoke are filled, and there are waves rolled up like a whirlpool of exploding light, Actamas does not know it,
On the advancing side of the imperial dragon class sweeping forward, Casti ordered the ten dragon tooth warships on the right side of the fleet to form a neat attack formation, cutting into the Aden frigate group from the side to attack, and using the dragon class to attract the frigates Sure enough, the Aden Navy was recruited by the group's sight. The gunpowder filled the sea, so that the Aden Navy did not notice the really deadly death sickle that swept across. Located on the weakest side of the battleship was like sending it to the Imperial Dragon Tooth battleship. Like on the muzzle,
"Launch!" Thor's dazzling firelight suddenly disappeared in the white gunpowder. The Aden battleship located in the firepower net frequently exploded and emitted dazzling sparks. The hull was burning with blazing flames, and battleships were shot everywhere.
"We are surrounded"
"On the left, I found the Imperial Dragon Fang battleship!" With various voices, even the adjutant next to Actamas screamed in surprise and fooled. It turns out that the dragon-level in front is just a blind trick. , But this discovery is obviously too late, when the frigate group hastily turned! The cruel Thor cannonballs have been fired again, countless white water jets bounced, ten Dragon Tooth battleships totaling three hundred Thor’s firepower gathered, two Aden battleships turned into fireballs in an instant, and the dense Thorns cannonballs were still intertwined. Counting plaid pattern.
The heat wave of "Boom Rumble" and the powerful volleys made Actamas feel that the entire fleet was tumbling in the opponent's gunfire. 8)
