Power and Empire Chapter 3848: Bleeding Star and Moon (3)

The sea surface at the entrance of the Gulf of Aden, blood has stained the sea surface,

The people of Aden who fell into the water struggled desperately in the ocean, and from time to time they groaned terribly. The unique geographical location of the Gulf of Aden has not tasted the tragedy of being beaten to the mainland for decades, but this time, Aden People finally tasted the taste of war. They couldn't describe how desperate it was and how bitter it was. They now finally understand that they are laughing at the Obaro being crushed by the imperial army, shivering under the imperial cavalry and warships, and they also face the imperial invasion on this day, the remaining three or four local fleets of the Aden Navy The warships, no longer caring about the life and death of their own people, fled into the Gulf of Aden one after another.

After one hour and twenty minutes,

Musoni, the commander of the Fourth Squadron of the Imperial Navy, who was slightly disappointed, was in his observation mirror. He could no longer see any Adenian ships, only the cargo floating in the sea, including a lot of wood and spices. , There are even medicines such as licorice from Central and Bahia. The undulating black spots in the sea are the sailors of the struggling Kingdom of Aden in the sea. In the Gulf of Aden in October, the sea has become cold. They struggled desperately in the sea, looking at each of the Imperial Navy Navy Longya battleships and Longya battleships slowly passing by with fear and help-seeking eyes. The Imperial Navy soldiers looked at them silently, without sympathy at all.

The war between the imperial navy and the Aden navy has been endless since the beginning of the southern waters of Central Bahia. The navy of the two navies in the southern waters of Central Bia turned red, and the Aden Navy relied on its huge tonnage and quantity. Advantages, firmly grasping the control of the southern waters of Central and Biya, the Imperial Navy provoked the hegemony of the Aden Navy with its powerful ships and guns

Only in the southern waters of Central and Bahia, in the past year, the number of naval deaths in the two fleets reached 18,000, and the total number of war-damaged warships exceeded 400. Both sides have regarded each other as worthy of it. The opponent of the battle, this time the fleet traveled a long distance, lurking for more than half a month, lurking during the day and driving at night, and finally achieved the effect of a surprise attack on the Gulf of Aden. Once it is launched, it is natural to pursue the best effect, and naturally there will be no Any possibility of softness

"Raise the flag and send them on the road." Musoni raised his hand in a low voice, war, in the final analysis, is more than anyone who kills, and who can withstand consumption more, let alone. Navy sailors are such special arms that are difficult to produce in large quantities in a short period of time. No one feels sorry for the Aden people shouting in the sea, and no one feels guilty for their actions, because once these sailors board the Aden Navy warships, It will immediately launch an attack ruthlessly. This can be seen from the scary red eyes of these Aden people. If you change it, the other party will shoot yourself ruthlessly.

Three red flags rise from the flagship of the Imperial Navy Squadron

The sailors of the Imperial Navy took out crossbows or other weapons, arranged on the deck, and shot the Aden sailors who fell into the water one by one. In the monotonous and lonely trembling of bowstrings, the Aden sailors struggling in the sea One after another stopped struggling and became a corpse floating on the blood-stained sea. Occasionally there are one or two who are well-watered, hiding under the bodies of other companions. They escaped from the imperial navy’s shooting. When the imperial navy’s Yang Fan fleet slowly left the sea, they had the opportunity to stick their heads out, and after all the hardships, they finally returned to the harbor.

Two hours later,

The sunset glow is reflected on the beautiful sea of ​​the Gulf of Aden in the past, the red is like the flowing blood of the human body, and the real goal of the Imperial Navy fleet appears in the front

"Commander, in front of you is the city of Aden Anxi, known as the most precious jewel on the crown of the King of Aden!"

"Aden Anxi Town?"

Musoni didn't need the adjutant's reminder. He also knew that Anxi City was in front of him. Between the water and the sky to the west, a huge complex of buildings appeared. They stand densely on the right side of the bay, like huge giants, blocking the end of the line of sight. As the distance got closer, the iconic building in Anxi City of Aden, which was rumored to be the Tower of the Sky, also began to gradually appear in front of all the imperial sailors, the iconic twelve-story building. Known as the tallest building in the world, there are also the contiguous winter palaces of the Aden royal family in the northwest, as well as densely packed ports and densely packed masts.

This is the Anxi city of Aden, the largest city in the Gulf of Aden, even surpassing the kings of Aden. The permanent population exceeded 1.1 million early on. The city covers an area of ​​tens of square kilometers, and it stretches for more than 40 kilometers in the Gulf of Aden. Various docks and ports are densely arranged. According to intelligence, the current Aden Anxi City has 44 large blocks, and there are more than 30 large buildings with more than six floors. It is indeed the largest city in the Kingdom of Aden, even the commercial capital of the empire. Lisboa is not much more than anything else. Aden Ansi is also the oldest city in the Gulf of Aden. It has a history of at least four hundred years that can be studied with precise information. This area is the birthplace of the Aden people.

The Vis River, known as the artery of the Gulf of Aden, enters the sea from here. The abundant water of the Vis River is very suitable for inland navigation, which greatly reduces the freight required for material transportation. Moreover, Anxi is the largest in the Gulf of Aden. In the shipbuilding area, according to intelligence, there are more than 2,800 ships built in Aden Anxi in ten years. The little white sails on the sea are the real soul of Aden Anxi.

At this moment, this long history, the shipping center of the Aden people, and the huge and magnificent urban agglomeration are exposed to the imperial navy without any obstacles.

"Commander, in such an important city, there is no ship of the Aden Navy. This is really abnormal"

The adjutant said with a surprised expression. Even the adjutant can feel the problem, and Muxoni has a slightly frowned brow. Where is the naval fleet of the Aden people? There are only a few small fish at the mouth of the Gulf of Aden. Now in an important city like Anxi City, Aden’s huge naval fleet seems to have evaporated out of thin air

"Regardless of him, we only need to execute the order." Although Musoni did not know the reason, he still showed excellent military qualities. He looked solemn and slowly pulled up his naval squadron commander uniform and worked hard. To make it straight and tidy to the utmost, destroying a great city is like participating in an important ceremony without the slightest negligence

6:17 pm

Musoni looked down at his watch. This moment will be a time that will be recorded forever in history. After a moment of silence, he solemnly said, "Fire on time at 6:30, and the single battleship is responsible for bombarding the turret. The two battleships were responsible for bombarding the city. Each battleship left only ten shells, and all the others were shot out."

"Yes, Commander!"

The adjutant nodded slightly. As an imperial navy soldier, his greatest wish is to one day be able to cover the enemy’s city with naval fire, so as to prove that they are the real sword in the hands of the emperor that can destroy everything. The king is forcing a country to surrender. Although the Imperial Navy has many records of bombarding cities in other countries, being able to bombard such a great and prosperous city is exciting for any imperial navy soldier.

"Fleet Preparation"

"Everyone immediately enters the combat position"

The command of the flagship bombardment was issued, and the imperial sailors ran to their respective positions. The Dragon Tooth battleship began to cross the hull on the sea. The hull pushed the seawater like a wave toward the city, and there was a wave of silence in the silence. The baffle of the gun warehouse was turned up, revealing a horizontal row of dark black Thor muzzles, slowly raising towards the distant Aden Anxi under the blood-red setting sun. . . . . . Musoni slowly raised the telescope. Aden Anxi in the telescope, wide and straight streets, there are endless crowds, about to the evening, there will be crowds, those places that seem to be shopping malls are also beginning to prosper and lively. An endless stream of horse-drawn carriages come and go on the streets, a large number of merchant ships are parked in the port, and there are many dock porters who load and unload materials like moving ants

"The Aden Navy is indeed not there, or it is too late to arrive!"

Musoni finally confirmed that the surrounding sea was extremely calm. Until now, he felt like he was dreaming. The successful raid on the entrance of the Gulf of Aden was a result of unintentional calculations, but the bustling Anxi city of Aden, no It should be so unconscious, but everything in front of him is telling him that, yes, Aden Anxi City is unprepared. This great achievement that will shock the entire continent is so clearly placed. Before my eyes, the sunset glow and the setting sun are very kind and kind to reflect the regret of Aden, covering this huge and prosperous city with an enviable golden yellow

Even with the strongest hostility, Musoni has to admit that this is a magnificent city

In Aden Anxi, many people in Aden have discovered the imperial naval fleet approaching, but they have not realized that the last moment of their lives has come. Instead, they regard the imperial navy on the sea as returning to the Gulf of Aden. The Aden Navy, because in the past two days, the Aden Navy fleet has been passing by the sea here,

"Which naval fleet is this warship, why does it look weird"

These people from Aden crowded close to the coast, or stood on the roof of their own house, looking out to the sea. There were gray-haired old people, lively children, and young girls and young women who looked like flowers. Looking at the sea, whispering and whispering to each other, they seemed to be guessing the units of the Aden Navy. They didn't realize that the big hand of the **** of death had quietly strangled their necks. As civilians in Aden, most of them have not seen the appearance of the Imperial Navy warship that was rumored to scare the entire Obaro, let alone war, there is no mercy, no sympathy, and no hesitation is allowed.

This beautiful Gulf of Aden is destined to add one of the most vivid colors-red to the blue color that day. The color of human blood and fire smeared in the sea!

"The left-line fleet has completed preparations."

"The right line fleet has also completed preparations."

With a cautiously excited message. The adjutant came up to report out of breath and took a deep breath. Musoni slowly put down his binoculars and stared at the magnificent city outline in the distance again with his naked eyes. Slightly, Musoni said lightly, "Go! He then stood on the bridge." In the most conspicuous position, the two red flags cross above the head. At this moment, it is as if a confrontation is about to be stormed. The imperial navy's flag is hunting and fluttering in the wind blowing up the huge waves. Hidden under the cold eyes of Musoni, sharp and fanatical . In the wind, you can almost smell blood.

Boom...

The people of Aden saw the white smoke from the navy battleship in the distance, like a large firework.

"It's the fireworks from China and Biyah. Now that they are set off every night, these navies are nothing new!"

Looking at the people of Aden from a distance showed disappointment. In order to celebrate His Majesty’s promotion to the emperor, the navy brought back a large number of fireworks from China. No matter how beautiful things are, there will be no freshness after four or five days. It doesn’t look good when it’s displayed on land, but it’s not good to put it on the surface of the sea. What do these navies think? Could it be that if you change a place, fireworks can become other things!

The scene when powerful naval guns are fired together. In the eyes of the people of Aden, they became fireworks. The people of Aden looked numb and confused at the gun muzzle of the Imperial Dragon Tooth on the sea emitting bursts of fire and smoke, and then stared dullly at the long tail shells dragging black smoke across the vast expanse. The sky falls into the urban area with a beautiful arc,

Boom...the scalp-numbing explosion came violently

'"Papa Papa"

Like a hurricane that blew up suddenly, as the huge smoke wave blew up, the shop windows on both sides of the street were shattered by the impact waves, and the goods inside were scattered everywhere, and people near the bomb’s landing site were suddenly blown to pieces. The mutilated body was blown into the air, and then fell to a far away place, falling like a rain, smashing the flying rocks like a storm and engulfing the surroundings,

"Mom!"

"What's the situation!"

"Our navy attacked us!"

Faced with the violent explosion. There is also the rain of corpses and remains. Most of the people in Aden are stupid, a mess, blood and incomplete limbs everywhere, they can only hear the roar across the sky from time to time from their ears. Broken houses and rocks, blood all over the place, lying full of wounded and dead bodies, crowds running around

No Adenite realized at the first time that Yading Anxi had been bombarded by the imperial naval fleet, because there was not even a warning before

The Royal Capital of Aden, Longines Palace

The iconic tall towers and pointed roofs are straight up. Exquisite carvings and large and small sculptures can be seen in every eaves, beams, pillars and door openings. It is even more majestic and gorgeous when you are on the top of a high-hanging mountain.

The king of Aden likes this place because it is high above the earth, inaccessible, inviolable, and invincible. The people of Aden stood on the streets of the royal capital Sidon, looking up to the west. They admired the beauty of Longines Palace, thanked the monarch for his benevolence, or shuddered at his rage, and prayed for his forgiveness. Here, the king is more like a divine residence, let alone the attitude of the Yading Red Dragon Palace

Only at this moment~IndoMTL.com~The King of Aden is holding the arrow stack and staring at the south. The burly and majestic figure is just like the majestic sculpture of the kings of Aden behind him!

"After the imperial navy raided the entrance to the sea, has it shelled Aden Anxi?" The King of Aden took his gaze back from a galloping military carriage in the distance, calling the name of the minister of military affairs

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Secretary of Military Affairs replied solemnly.

Abandoning the perimeter defenses and lure the Imperial Navy into the Gulf of Aden for annihilation. This is the king’s strategy, but the location of Aden Anxi is too close to the entrance of the bay. If the Aden Navy deploys heavy forces in Aden Anxi, the Imperial Navy is only afraid Will immediately turn around and flee. Once the Imperial Navy escapes, it is basically impossible to get this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity

In order to win, His Majesty even used himself as a bait, let alone an Aden Ansi! For Aden, for your majesty, only abandon Aden Anxi! Anyway, the destroyed city can be rebuilt. "Time flies really slowly." The King of Aden stared at the red clouds on the horizon, muttering to himself like an authentic. The waves of blood are rolling from the south! Aden wants to become an empire, how can he do without defeating an empire first!

This is the fate of Aden, and it is also his own!
