Power and Empire Chapter 1419: Yingyang Northwest (4)
The northwest coastline of Obaro, where the sea level is exceptionally calm,
The golden sun shines on the sea, and there are only extremely faint light waves on the side of the ship, and a strand of white clouds like silk are reflected under the blue sky.
The quiet sea often means the coming of storms, so the old sailors are not used to this kind of offshore area with almost invisible waves. The noon sun shines directly on the curve of Christopher’s coast.
Navy Marshal of the Principality of Neal Yadu, known as the most famous naval fleet commander Rod Haru in the northwestern region, is holding his head up, proudly admiring the magnificent and magnificent fleet that breaks through the sea beside him. ,
The huge bow of the ship broke through the waves, and countless ripples spread out in circles, and the warships collided with each other during the movement, and they shattered or merged into a larger circle.
The sea surface is like being rolled by an invisible force. The sea wind blows the huge naval flag on the mast of the battleship to hunt and hunt. The towering sails of the battleship are embroidered with the emblems of several principalities. This force makes Rhodes Haru feels drunk
"It's a scene that makes people feel infinitely emotional!"
While Rod Haru admired the **** fleet, a thin middle-aged nobleman stumbled up from behind the deck,
He stopped next to Rod Haru, his gaze swept across the faintly visible coastline in the distance, making his gaze pause for a moment, and said, "Commander Rod Haru! We really are. Can we blatantly go north along the coastline like this?
" Although the possibility of encountering an interception is extremely small, there are still a large number of transport ships in the fleet. If encountered, they will become the enemy’s first target. Every ship here is equipped with Full of soldiers!"
"Master Orb is too worried. Even if the opponent wants to intercept, they must have a strong enough warship!" Rod Haru grinned slightly. He knew this was from Eggbert. The Marquis has always been known for being cautious and a little disdainful. "Throughout the entire northwestern region, except for our Atwood Sea City, who can send such a powerful navy! I would never think that the king of barbarians with many merchant ships like cows and hairs. Will it have the strength to fight our Atwood Navy? Or Master Orb thinks that our Atwood Navy is a mob that can't even compare with barbarians!"
" No, please don’t get me wrong, I just heard that the barbarian king also has a fleet in his hands! So be cautious. "Aub’s face was embarrassed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand
" I have seen their so-called Dragon Tooth battleship. "Rod Haru's voice stopped, and he said with a bit of disdain." The barbarians are barbarians. They are also called battleships. They are not half the size of our heavy battleships. The size is too small, and the weapon is only in the stage of impact with the angle of collision. Do they think that such a small size can also collide with a heavy battleship? I really suspect that the barbarian regarded the rough sea as inland. Xiaoxi! I used all my energy to build merchant ships and cut corners on battleships! Do people like this need to be so worried?"
" Lord Rod Haru really deserves to be known as the general of the sea! After listening to Rod Haru’s words, Orb’s face finally relaxed a little, and he smiled, "After listening to your analysis, sure enough It’s more reassuring. Atwood Sea City, where Lord Rod Haru is located, is an important coastal defense city of the empire. It has the most complete docks and construction plants as well as experienced sailors. There is the barbaric who I don’t understand. Comparable! Now I actually have some hope of encountering the enemy, and I have some expectations, seeing Lord Rod Haru beat them down with heroism! "
"Haha, Lord Orb, you are so acclaimed! You who proposed this sneak attack plan, I believe that after this battle, you will definitely be famous in the entire Northwest!" Rod Haru was shot by this flattery. With eyes narrowed, Orb is the younger brother of Duke Egbert and the proponent of this plan. This time, as the deputy of the transport fleet, he will lead the 10,000 soldiers who arrived in the north of Nysta as a surprise to Julie. A heavy blow from the side of the Els family
The navy is in charge of Rod Haru. The three principalities of Edgar, Atwood Sea City, and Egbert in the hinterland of the battle line form a combined fleet, plus a large number, large and small. Class transport ship, put together a powerful fleet with a total of る warships, with 5,700 ships, full of 10,000 soldiers, and quietly marching north along the coastline. The entire operation is extremely confidential. I believe that confidentiality is in place. /
They just didn’t know that when the transport fleet left Port Warren, a supply point near the center, and headed north along the coastline,
Almost at the same time, more than 40 battleships of the main force of the Falcon Imperial Navy also left the port of Antoros, which is located at the center, and opened fishing nets for prey along the northwest coastline.
at noon, the sun was violent,
At the curved position of the coastline, the waves discharged a rolling white line, slapped heavily on the cliff wall,
Every time, there are some huge shadows floating,
The towering bow of the warship split open the oncoming sea, splashing waves of waves, and the waiting fleet of falcons lurked like ghosts in the shadow of the cliff, and the waves hit five of them. On the side of the sky figure, a piece of white blisters formed, making a gurgling sound,
The quiet wind brings a solemn atmosphere,
The black hull, three rows of baffles neatly arranged, like the scales of the beasts of the sea, the front of the high bow, a ferocious black cannon raised a thirty-degree angle toward the distance. The gloomy metallic luster gives people a terrible visual impact
"The commander, the secret post on the Ernest cliff, just heard the news that the enemy's transport fleet has passed the last surveillance point." The adjutant looked excited and pushed open the hatch, and took a picture in his hand. Handed over to Dusterunkai "The speed is eleven knots, the wind is north, and it is approaching us along the coastline! This is the distribution map of the enemy's current formation!"
"Oh? It's already over the Ernest cliff, so fast!" Du Stellenkai raised his head, his eyes burning, like a flame burning, in the cabin, several squadrons The admiral is surrounded by the table in the middle, what is the analyst?
"No, how do you fight in such a queue?" A squadron admiral muttered in a bewildered voice. Everyone's eyes were on a simulated sand table on the table. The sand table was full of large and small. Small triangle chess of several colors,
Red is a large battleship, orange is a small and medium-sized frigate, and finally is green with no combat capability, representing a frigate full of soldiers. Several colors are staggered in the sand table, like a beautiful colorful picture, every one here The small flags all represent a real battleship. On the flanks of the giant fleet, near the coast, there is a chilly black, which represents the position of the Falcon fleet.
is ready to go, just waiting for the sword to come out of its sheath!
In order to accurately determine the route and arrival time of this large-scale transport fleet, the Falcon Navy’s secret guards are arranged along the coastline, conveying information every fifty miles, and the entire coastline is under the complete control of the Falcon Army.
Although the two are still about fifty miles apart, the Falcon Navy already knows the configuration of this fleet well. The admirals of the Falcon Navy have even known in advance that the other party’s flagship, the Glorious Aomida, is here. The specific position in the huge fleet,
Glorious Aomida, Atwood Navy releases the ship,
is 40 meters long and 25 meters wide, the hull is 20 meters high, equipped with four heavy trebuchets, twelve light trebuchets, and full of sailors. This data is already in the minds of navy admirals. Wandering for a long time, if you can, everyone wants to sink it in the first wave
The wolves have polished their claws, just waiting for these sheep to be baited,
In order to achieve the goal of sinking such a huge fleet, Dustellenkai dragged out the main force of the Falcon Navy’s control of this sea area, 6 dragon class, 41 dragon tooth warships, transportation The replenishment of the large transport ship moved 12,
" This is the latest layout, and we should not be confused!" Dusterenkai adjusted the pattern again, and the messy colors on the sand table began to change significantly. This sand table was previously It has been adjusted three times, but no one can see anything special,
And this time, all the admiral’s eyes lit up. It seemed that this was the final battle formation, and it was old enough. If you didn’t know in advance, this sudden attack would probably be a bitter battle!
In silence, Du Stellenkai touched his chin with his hand, pointed a direction in the sand table, and said first
" I heard that this guy named Rod Haru has the reputation of being a general of the sea. He has fought more than 30 naval battles, big and small. It seems that he is indeed a very experienced guy. You can see it, too. As soon as the opponent entered the waters of the northwest, the original sloppy queue obviously changed.
The frigate has already stepped forward to the two wings. The reloaded warship has begun to move forward and become the leader of the entire fleet. If I am not mistaken, once encountered, the frigate on both wings of the opponent will speed up and rush over, taking advantage of the speed. A large net entangled us, and then the reloaded warships calmly crushed it. It is a very practical formation, but the shortcomings are equally obvious, that is, once the frigate and the main battleship are separated, it will be a disaster! ! "
My lord " " means that we use a decoy to keep the opponent from fighting! "The Sixth Squadron Admiral Iffinger was the first to react, and his words also made the other admirals a bit of a sudden realization.
" Well, you’re right! "Dustrunkai nodded." As long as a decoy, the opponent’s flanking frigate will inevitably jump out of the formation like a hound. Our Dragon Tooth is faster than They are fast. As long as they chase, they will inevitably be dragged away along the way and cannot be assembled in a short time. However, in order to **** the transport ship, the opponent’s large warship can only slowly catch up from behind, and the opponent’s formation is basically useless. Once you enter the ambush area, the opponent will be in a position where Thor is the easiest to exert its power. If you want to gather at that time, you will only lose even more!"
" My lord, leave this task to me!" Admiral Tiegl of the Fourth Squadron said solemnly
"No, I jumped and fled. I did it more realistically! "It’s Sieffinger who said this, and he said with a somewhat self-deprecating tone." It’s not easy to get this cunning guy fooled. Thing, and among everyone here, I was the only one who had been a deserter!"
"Who said that when I was a pirate, it was known as the fastest at sea! Of course, it mainly means running fast!" An admiral said dissatisfied.
"Okay, no need to fight, this task is handed over to Sieffinger, Dusterenkai's eyes flashed with appreciation, and it takes courage to be able to confess his failure. Since the last defeat, Si Effinger has become more and more general, and he is not surprised. In terms of tactical command and strategy, he has clearly surpassed the admirals of several other squadrons. It is no wonder that his Majesty did not kill him at the beginning, and it seems that he was also attracted Potential!
"Why, my lord, such a decision is unfair to everyone!" Someone complained, although the voice was very low
"Justice?" Dustellenkai was obviously angry. "Damn, this is the army, does the army know!" Dustellenkai's bloodshot eyes swept viciously over several unruly admirals. , Said coldly, "I feel unfair to stand up, I will tell him what justice is." Several admirals were timidly speechless, and they dared not look at each other under Dustrum Kai's eyes, don't open Duss. Master Trunkai looks gentle, he is black!
"Why? No one came out?" Dusterenkai looked at a few silent subordinates and snorted, "Then who can tell me, what should I use to face a powerful enemy? How to show that you are in a panic?
"This" several admirals were stunned there, and they suddenly understood why the commander would choose Seifinger,
" As a bait, it is not to win, but to lose! You don't understand! In this regard, any of you can be more suitable than Sieffinger who has encountered similar situations!" 'S roar makes everyone feel like a needle in the back
"Yes." We were so reckless, your lord calmed down! "The faces of several admirals are ugly,
"Okay, since no one is talking about justice, Iffinger, you can go!" Dustellenkai retracted his murderous gaze, turned to Iffinger and said, "Remember, don't expose Our original intention of ambush is not to use Thor, we can only do it on your own! It is really embarrassing to say that, just now I just moved my mouth.
" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Dusterenkai’s face,
"My lord, it’s okay! Get up from wherever I fall. The subordinates are very grateful to the lord for giving me a chance to get up!" With a feeling on his face, Sieffinger picked up on the hanger. His admiral's cap, glanced at everyone, "Everyone, waiting for my good news" and opened the door of the cabin. The light outside the door was so strong that the half of his face exposed to the sun looked pale.
3 pm
Si Effinger took one main and one pair of two dragon-tooth ships from the direction of the headwind and headed southeastward. Because of the headwind, the squadron did not move fast. At 3:20 in the afternoon, Si Efen Grid finally saw that densely packed masts appeared on the opposite sea,
The white sails were swollen by the sea breeze, and under the sunlight, they emitted a dazzling light, as if a layer of white mist was rising on the sea at the same time.
Turn the hull 140 degrees, the sails are fully open, and it goes around at full speed! Parallel to the opposing fleet! "Sieffinger commanded loudly, since Thor can't be used, then only use some unique means to anger the opponent, the best way is to drive in parallel,
On the sea, being stared unscrupulously by the enemy navy was the biggest insult to a commander. Sure enough, a fleet of frigates on the left wing of the transport fleet on the opposite side suddenly accelerated, leaving the main line, aggressively The Sieffinger fleet rushed towards the parallel line.
"My lord, what shall we do?" the first officer asked with an ugly expression
"Don't worry about them, just keep the current fastest speed! They are slower than us, and we are straight, they are slashes! Hell be **** if we can intercept us" Sieffinger's mouth is disdainful Sneered, he had anticipated this a long time ago,
Half an hour later, Rod Haru’s eyes were fully focused on the two weirdly shaped Dragon Tooth battleships that were still parallel to him. One of his frigates was dragged out of the sea, cutting through the sea. The white water mark is like laughing at the frigate moving behind. The most annoying thing is that the opponent, relying on the advantage of speed, passed through the front of the entire fleet obliquely.
"Oh, what an arrogant guy" Rod Haru heard the voice of Orb who didn't know what tone was coming from beside ~ IndoMTL.com~ He couldn't hang on his face suddenly. This is an insult to the entire fleet. Is a great contempt for him
" Come, send Cecil detachment! His Dark Devil should be able to catch up to the opponent's speed, tell him, no matter what means, I want the opponent to sink to the bottom of the sea!" Rod Haru's face was livid and commanded. , Soon, a small black sailing warship sprang out from the left wing, splitting the waves, and quickly accelerating, like an off-string arrow, directly thrown out a large part of the warship behind, and saw its appearance. In some frustrated fleets, there was even a shout, "Cecil, it's Cecil's Black Demon! Thousands of arrogant guys"
" My lord, the opponent's speed is very fast. We are afraid that we can't perform like this anymore! "Report from the chief mate, so Sieffinger frowned slightly." At this speed, we are still far from the ambush circle How far?"
"About half an hour!" the chief mate replied
"So, it's very close!"
seems to have thought of something, Sieffinger muttered to himself, just at this moment, "touching" a sinking body, the deck creaked overwhelmedly,
On the left side of the battleship, a black sail battleship similar in size to the Dragon Tooth was hit heavily with Sifinger’s flagship.
the ship’s side flew apart, and the guardrail a few meters wide was broken, and then the two ships quickly separated, and the form was suddenly critical (to be continued) [This text is provided by 启航Update Group@偶氏尊尊] If you like this work , You are welcome to vote for recommended votes and monthly tickets.
