Power and Empire Chapter 1420: Yingyang Northwest (5)
"My lord, the opponent is a fast battleship that is known for speed. In terms of speed, we have no advantage!" The first mate's hesitant voice made the face of Sieffinger next to him even colder. In the eyes of everyone, this The ship threatened herself just now, and immediately dodges the opponent like a loach. The sails to the hull are black, giving people a icy feeling. This black ghost clings to the side, even in a straight line. When driving, he faintly surpassed his own half of the bow. If it weren't for the practice of not stopping the vehicle on the sea, it is estimated that the other party would have forced himself in front of him long ago.
"The opponent's shipman is a master!" After Sieffinger looked at the position of the opponent's rudder, standing there was a middle-aged man with a little red hair, also facing this side. Looking around, the eyes of both parties collided several times in a very short time.
"Prepare to connect the ship and bring all the weapons up! I don’t want the opponent to rush over, so I just move them all!" Sieffinger drew out his saber, and the other side was almost at the same time. It started to move. Obviously, an order was given to prepare for the side battle.
" Bastard, do you want to capture us? "Siefinger cursed viciously, "Hurry up, everyone on the deck!" "It was like boiling water on the deck immediately. Everyone, except for the chief mate and Siefinger who was in charge of the helm and command, the rest were in the equipped state.
All the debris on the deck was quickly cleaned up. A dozen sailors began to adjust the two-door ballista at the rear of the deck at a fixed position. A large bundle of metal crossbow arrows was carried up by the sailors panting. Placed next to the heavy ballista,
"Target, the enemy’s podium!" Sieffinger yelled towards the ballista. The opposing commander is obviously a veteran and must get rid of this guy first!
"Target, 30 meters!” The strong bowstring of the ballista was slowly pulled away by the sailor with a lever. A cluster of all-metal arrows measuring one and a half meters long was placed into the shooting slot. The ballista was in the middle of several sailors. Propelled by, turned to the direction of the attacking black warship,
On the deck below, the sailors began to run towards the side of the ship, holding weapons taken out of their respective cabins in their hands, wearing spare light mail, and holding ropes with metal spikes in their hands. The short battle axe that broke the side of the ship, the round-headed flail with spikes, and other heavy weapons that can be thrown at a medium distance and cause large-scale damage to the enemy
"Attention, the enemy is coming up!"
I don’t know who yelled. Just now, when the sailors were running around, it suddenly fell silent, and everyone’s nerves were collapsed. As the two ships approached again, the faces of both sides were nervous, and those who were close could be able to Seeing the bloodshot eyes of the other sailor
" Snap "Both sides are a scene of people turning on their backs. The two warships squeezed together like two giant beasts. "Crack!" The side of the ship made an unbearable squeezing sound, the deck bumped up and down, and the people on it Staggering, the huge reaction force makes all the items on the deck tilt to the other side
"Rush up!" The sailor on the opposite side shouted for a fight. There were more than a dozen tough sailors with turbans on their heads and naked torso, with long swords in their mouths. Before the two ships were completely close together, they couldn't wait. Swinging with a rope from the opposite mast,
"Bowbolt attack!"
Almost at the same time, the two cold beams projected like a meteor from the stern of the opposite ship's gunwale, with a fleshy body that could not be resisted, caused the gunwale of the black sailing ship to fall down, and two heavy crossbow arrows were on the opposing crew There was a blood mist-like splash in the middle. After continuous shooting through the individual, the trend remained unabated. He plunged into the podium in the middle of the opponent's hull, making a series of cracking and cracking noises.
"It's a pity! Almost!"
Effinger punched the bridge of the bridge with an annoyed look. The cold light of one of the crossbow arrows almost wiped the red-haired middle-aged man who was obviously the captain. It was here. At that time, there was a series of discordant sounds inside the battleship command podium on the opposite side. Under the eyes of everyone, the internal support was severely damaged. The podium suddenly shifted to the other side and collapsed on the spot. The people on it jumped up and saw the sailors on both sides. I'm a little confused
" This is really... "Safinger is stupid too,
It happened so suddenly, he was thinking how good it would be if the other party was crushed to death, but unfortunately, he saw the red-haired middle-aged man crawling out of the collapsed place in a desperate manner, and patted the ashes on his body with his hand. I look at myself with piercing eyes,
seems to mean "not counting this time!"
" Haha, that guy must be mad!" Sieffinger grinned at him ridiculously. The Black Sailing battleship was hit hard by this time, and the speed was obviously slowed down. It seems that it should be the ship on the bridge. The rudder was also destroyed,
The black sailing battleship that lost control was quickly pulled away by the Dragon Tooth battleship. Although it was only a short encounter, the red splashed with human blood can already be seen on the ship’s side.
"Help all the wounded down" Sieffinger ran over and took a look. This time, three people on his side were injured, only minor injuries. The leg of the heaviest young sailor was hung by the hook thrown by the opponent. To the heel, blood dripping, but not dangerous
"It’s not a big problem! Need to recuperate, months! You can walk like flying again!"
The military medicinal herbs that accompanied the ship cleaned up the wounds and comforted the wounded. Sieffinger ran back to his podium. He was shot dead by crossbow arrows, not to mention being knocked down on the podium. He was running back and forth in a mess. , For the time being, I can’t continue to catch up with myself, the crisis is resolved! Send the third and fourth **** fleets to drive this guy in the middle! "On the flagship of the transport fleet, Rod Haru looked a little unwillingly at the small prey that was speeding up to escape.
" Hey, I didn’t expect that even Cecil’s Black Demon didn’t even succeed! The opposing navy warship, it seems that it’s not completely useless," Orb said with emotion beside him, completely in a lively state of mind. ,
"It’s just a faster speed and a coward who doesn’t dare to face off at sea. How much can you do! Master Obe, you too value these barbarians!" Rod Haru snorted dissatisfiedly, and he looked up. Glancing at the sky, the shadow of the sun shining on the ship’s side indicates that it is past four o’clock in the afternoon.
"As long as you limit it, the others don't matter!" Rod Haru sighed in relief and said, "Although a little frustrated, the transport fleet has safely entered the northern sea. If all goes well, at night ⒓ Before this point, the transport fleet will reach Nista safely. This is our big goal. As for the small fleet that slipped away, it is really worthless, and in this sea area, even if it can run back in time to report, it’s too late."
Ten minutes later, Sieffinger glanced at the huge fleet that was dragged away from the queue because he was chasing him. He felt that the time was about to come. He walked to the position of the rudder and asked with a cold look. Deputy "How far are we from the ambush point!"
"Come over and the curve ahead is here, my lord," the chief officer looked at a coastline faintly recessed in the distance, and replied loudly,
" Is that right in front?" Sieffinger looked solemnly toward the front inward curve, with an inexplicable look on his face,
"Send a semaphore to the other ship, all return to their posts, speed up, and get rid of it! Let us rush out for victory!" Sieffinger yelled excitedly to the sailors on the deck, sailors Running to their respective positions, the speed of the Dragon Tooth Ship speeds up again,
4:25 pm,
The Falcon Navy fleet hidden in the inner bend can already see a large number of warships appearing in the distance from the viewing mirror. As previously arranged, the opposing fleet's queue is very scattered. The frigate on both wings, Ben It should be extended backwards, but now it is differently moving forward.
This completely opposite arrangement, once an attack is encountered, it is impossible to form an effective guard for the flanks. Instead, it needs to be turned around. It not only wastes time, but also wastes the best fighter aircraft in the initial exchange of fire.
An experienced opponent will not give the opponent a chance to adjust.
The gazes of all the captains focused on the fast-moving silhouettes of the two Dragon Tooth ships in front of this huge fleet.
Breathing is a bit heavy, and his eyes are full of the urge to defeat his opponent. Even Dustrum Kay licked some of his dry lips, and said with his hands, "Good fellow, look at Sieffinger's introduction. What's wrong, this meal, we are going to be full, raise the battle flag, order the fleet, and prepare to attack according to the echelon!" Du Stellenkai put down the looking glass in his hand, his eyes were full of coldness and ruthlessness, and determined to win. Shouted in his tone
" Your lord, the flagship came with an order to prepare for battle! "On a Dragon-class battleship, Tegel has just put down the looking glass, and his squadron is in the guard position of the fleet. If the fleet launches a surprise attack on the enemy , His main responsibility is the flanks of the frigate group,
Judging from the conventional line-up array, his Dragon-class battleship is in an extremely advantageous position. Although the waves here are a bit undulating, it is surging for the Thor gunners on the battleship. Shooting on the waves. It is the most ordinary basic skill.
"The distance is 400 meters, and the angle is 70 degrees to the southeast. The enemy's flagship should be in that position."Tegel calmly gave the order" to tell everyone to attack the opponent's flagship first! That can be fat, there are many people. Are all staring at it"
"Understood, my lord! I can guarantee that with a single order, I can beat the designated target into a hornet’s nest. "The one who is in charge of directing the shelling is a veteran. After more than a year of actual combat and improvement, the Navy is in the shooting command of Thor There are also continuous improvements and advancements in the industry.
The original Thor's scattered shooting was changed to a unified control of centralized shooting: the original several Thors were shooting different targets, but all Thors on a battleship were shooting the same target: originally by the artillerymen. Selecting and aiming at the target are replaced by a unified target control officer in charge,
The gunners only need to act according to the shooting data. Various improvements are aimed at improving the shooting hit rate and shooting speed of the Falcon warship. And it has achieved good results in actual combat.
4:35 pm,
The transport fleet approached the inner bend, and a sudden cliff obstructed part of the front view. The cautious Rod Haru ordered a squadron to explore the way forward. At this moment, there was a thunderous thunder. Suddenly came out of the corner of the inner bend rock wall, red light and thick smoke completely filled the retinas of everyone in an instant. Five seconds later, countless thunder cannonballs with sharp howling slammed into the transport fleet. On the side,
"Asshole, there are really enemies!"
Rod Haru’s face turned blue. He did not expect that he would encounter a powerful attack from the enemy when he was about to reach Nista,
And Obuze, who was next to him, was already pale with fright. He hid on the ground with his **** on the ground. The sky of fire swept across the flanks of the transport fleet. He saw a strange warship that was exactly the same as the previous one, just like A sharp razor swooped from the flanks of the fleet, and a transport ship was set ablaze. The soldiers on it were jumping into the sea. The light comparable to thunder and lightning was sprayed from the side of these weird warships inserted horizontally. Nothing came out, and the flying water column made the entire sea boil
just sent out a frigate, and at the same time encountered a violent volley of hundreds of Thors. The continuous artillery shells fell on the frigate like raindrops, and the hull was torn apart in the rumbling explosion, which was terrible.
The huge waves that blew up at the position of the frigate seemed to turn the sea upside down, making it impossible for people to see the situation inside.
The white smoke is filled with the whole situation. It is like a layer of magic. I saw a red light that is eye-catching. In the white smoke, it lights up, goes out, and then lights up neatly and quickly like a drum beat. Countless black spots flew up in the air, and then the water column was raised again. There was no chance to call for help, only mutilated limbs were flying everywhere in the gunpowder smoke.
The mast of a frigate was blown off, and the mast and sails fell down instantly, completely losing the ability to move forward. The sailors above were panicked and jumped into the sea to escape, but one after another explosions were happening. It exploded on the sea less than ten meters away. The blasted water column hit them like a violent storm,
"We are in ambush, immediately order the frigate back!"
Rod Haru looked at the involved flanks, his face turned pale,
Because the opponent appeared so suddenly, the frigates on the flanks were sent out for a while and it was difficult to turn, and when turning, they were hit hard by the opponent, and billowing smoke came out almost at the same time. The arc of white smoke hits these frigates continuously,
Although Rod Haru didn’t know what kind of weapon it was, he also knew that as long as the frigates were sunk, what remained was a large number of transport ships with no combat capability. It was definitely a massacre, tragic. That made Rod Haru afraid to think about it. It's a pity that he didn't have a chance to issue his orders. His flagship flag has already made the Falcon fleet admirals, like wolves that smelled the smell, pounce toward his flagship location."
Thor spit out angry flames.
, with a dazzling fire, pushed towards him, smashed towards Rod Haru’s flagship position one after another, and smashed countless splashes of water next to the huge hull. The sturdy hull was swayed from side to side. The waves brought up caused several sailors on the deck to sweep directly into the sea. The waves swept across the deck and swept all the debris into the sea.
Marquis Aube was lying on the deck, his legs weakened by the rising water column, he held the ship’s side with his hands, and squatted half there. This made the Marquis Aube, who had never seen a naval battle frightened, he watched Rod Haru, who was swaying beside him, shouted, "I can guarantee that this is a premeditated attack, and we must get out of it immediately! Otherwise, it will be too late!"
" Evacuate? I want to evacuate too, but do you think this is on land? For more than one hundred warships, it takes more than half an hour to turn over!"
Rod Haru held his hand on the side of the ship before finally standing still, the sea not far away was filled with smoke, the sound of gunfire rumbled, and from time to time a transport ship burst out with fierce fire. In the thick smoke, it was completely invisible. The specific situation, because of the downwind, the gunpowder fired by the Falcon fleet was blown in the direction of the transport fleet, making the transport fleet more disadvantaged, and even the most basic connection had problems. There was too much white smoke, and the flag bearers could not see the specifics. Instructions
Suddenly, a huge ball of fire exploded in front of his eyes, followed by a fierce flame from the sky, the sound of the explosion almost stunned him, and under his intent to stare away from him His flagship was a large ship less than two hundred meters away, and a dense smashing explosion broke out. The air wave almost overturned him. Fortunately, he hurriedly grabbed the side of the ship and didn’t fall down, but he was unprepared. The Marquis of Aube sturdily fell a shit.
The situation is too messy, Rod Haru has a kind of powerless grief
"No~IndoMTL.com~We can’t just wait to die like this.” I found that there was no hope of protection. Some transport ship captains began to forcibly order to turn around in the queue. As a result, they collided heavily with other transport ships in other directions, and the rudder was broken. , Where is the whole ship, and some simply traversed through the middle of the queue, trying to find an evacuation opportunity from the side. The sea is filled with white fog, and the distance between the front and back can be seen no more than 100 meters. The whole scene is chaotic. Like the **** in the rumor
"Three hundred and fifty meters high, shoot! Don't let it slip away!"
at the rear guard position, they just sealed the exit from the side of the enemy, and rows of firelight shot from the side of the Dragon-class battleship without devastating firelight"
Fierce artillery fire fell around these warships trying to escape from the side, shaking up the sea water, and the rising water column seemed to cover the warship,
One of the large, slow-moving battleships was directly hit by the heavy Thor, which was installed at the front end of the Dragon class, and hit the stern. It exploded, blasting the second half of the heavy battleship to pieces, and a large amount of sea water surged. Into the stern,
The battleship lost its balance, like a bird being dragged by a cyclone, the entire huge bow straightened up high. Everything on the deck is everything, all involuntarily sliding down the stern into the sea, and finally it is completely perpendicular to the sea surface, and then sinking into the sea whirlpool.
