Power and Empire Chapter 1482: The life-and-death battle in Rwanda Akka (1)
"What's going on!"
On the flagship of the Southwest United Fleet, Angus Willy looked at the warship that was blown up at the front of the queue, his face turned pale as paper, completely like an explosion from the sky, making this experienced fleet navy commander Greatly shocked.
"Your Excellency Angus Willy, have you noticed that the number of the opponent's fleet does not match the intelligence!" The southwest commander Algernon Katja, who was still determined to win, looked at the black spots on the sea in the distance. His face became more and more serious, and he was silent for a while and said, "I have an ominous feeling, this is a trap, we should evacuate now!"
"Evacuate? What a joke?"
Angus Willie turned his head stubbornly, his face turned terrifying, and slowly said, "Your Excellency, have you ever seen the knight who initiated the charge choose to turn in the middle? Just because he found the number of targets. Wrong!"
"But, just rushed up like this... Algernon Katja opened his mouth and looked a little uncertain." The report we received was 20 warships. Although it is still impossible to see clearly, the opponent’s The number is obviously more than this! "
"The fleet is not an army! The army can run if it can't win. The navy turns the hull in the battle, it is looking for death! And the opponent may also have a transport ship. In order to bluff, it is common to include transport ships in the array. !" Angus Willy said with a grim face, "If Master Chief is worried, I can arrange for a battleship to protect Master Chief to leave"
"I didn't mean that"
Algernon Katja's eyes flashed with insulted hatred, as the emperor's confidant. His spirit is very high, even if he is a naval layman. He could also perceive this encounter. The Southwest United Fleet was clearly at a disadvantage, but this was the mighty fleet of Angus. Even as the Southwest Commander, he could not force this guy to obey orders during the battle, even the emperor. All moved in the name of your majesty, and this guy is only willing to participate in the war in the name of assistance
Just as the two were arguing, "Boom!" A huge explosion sounded from the right side. The heat wave was rolling, and the hull of a Tier 2 battleship next to him paused. Suddenly, a swift fire burst out from the hole where the hull was penetrated, and then there was a huge explosion.
In the special care of the Dragon-class main gun, another heavy battleship was hit and caught fire. The billowing thick black smoke was like tearing a tragic black scar on the surface of the sea, and the fire was dense around it like spores suddenly blooming in the sea exploding all around, the water column blasted into the sky, and the explosion caused the sky white waves. .
"Your Excellency Angus Willy! It's too late to issue the retreat order!" Algernon Katja looked at Angus Willy with a stubborn face, clenching his fists in shame and anger. In the Southwest Consulate General Office, no one dared to disobey his own orders, "I am not a rookie who has never been on the battlefield. Although I have not personally commanded a naval battle, I also know that the other party is clearly prepared! You rushed directly like this. Will fall into the opponent's trap!" "This is a naval battle! The opponent has opened the array, and I must fight!" Angus Willie waved his hand. Interrupt Algernon Katya and continue to say, "Come here, take the commander-in-chief to the Jena, order the other warships to keep in formation and rush up at the fastest speed!"
"Angus Willy! Your stubbornness will kill a lot of people..." Algernon Katja yelled, but was soon taken away by sailors very shamelessly, on the navy deck Above, the sailors only recognize Angus Willie,
Angus Willie ignored the head-on attack that his fleet was facing. He personally boarded the command bridge and issued a loud order called "stupid" by later generations, while standing on the position of the Southwest United Fleet at the time. While encountering a fierce attack from the opponent’s long-range weapons, it was the most instinctive response to give the order to approach the opponent quickly, but he did not expect that waiting for him was the Falcon Navy’s strongest lineup, 76 vs. 76 ships. Same, but there are huge differences in combat power
This can be seen from the comparison of the data of the battleships of the two sides at that time,
As for the Gaul Empire, the warships participating in this battle are divided into four levels. The first-level ships have three decks, 12 trebuchets, 875 sailors or more, and a displacement of 4500-6500 tons. Class II ship, three decks, 8 catapults, capacity of about 750 people, displacement of 4000 tons, second deck of class III ships, 6 catapults, crew of about 490-720 sailors, displacement of 3300-4000 tons, level 4 The ship, with two gun decks, 4 catapults, with a capacity of about 350 people, and a displacement of 1500-3000 tons. The Gaul Empire warships were basically made of wood, sometimes wrapped in copper skin below the waterline. The power is sails, and the second-level warships and above have begun to be equipped with side armor and thick baffles on the hull parts, and the heaviest first-class warships have realized iron armored ships
For the Falcon Navy, the battleships participating in this battle are divided into two levels, the main dragon battleship, and four decks (three gun decks, one heavy siege thunder gun, and 100 naval curved thunder guns) with a total of 1223 sailors. , A displacement of 7000 tons, an improved Longya battleship, two decks (one gun deck, 30 navy curved Raytheon) with 310 sailors, with a tonnage of 2500-3000 tons,
"Shoot, shoot!"
The Falcon Navy’s artillery shouted loudly, ignoring the pungent smoke, and stuffed a round of cannonball into Thor’s hot barrel. The fierce gunfire came like rain, and the sea boiled up countless. Water column,
On the opposite side, the battleships of the Southwest United Navy were pouring down like raindrops, and there was a puff of black smoke that was hit, and the remains of the battleship broken in the explosion like dead wood. There are huge waves in the sea,
In less than twenty minutes, the six large Gaul Empire Tier 1 battleships at the front of the combined fleet were sunk in the intensive artillery fire. The front-end barrier was lost, and the dense fleet at the rear was completely exposed. Warships were hit and exploded, sank, and,
More than 800 Thor’s volleys, showing the power to make the sea boil in an instant, the world changes color, and the whole white is ejected from the side of the battleship quickly and the entire row, converging into a high and exciting symphony, countless passing by The white line on the sea flew past with a harsh whistling sound like hail. The bow of the heavy warship was shattered and turned into a piece of scattered fragments. The nearby warships evaded in a panic. Even the flagship could hardly avoid being drawn into this place. Chaos,
"Go ahead! Do whatever it takes!"
Enduring huge sacrifices, Angus Willy’s nerves are as tough as steel. Watching the battleships hit and explode, the surroundings are like hell, rumbling on the deck, and the sailors on the next battleship are raised like a roller coaster. Gao abandoned it,
Countless explosions sounded in the ship group, and the dozens of meters of water column surging from the surface of the water showed a scene like the sky collapsed and the sea boiled,
In the blink of an eye, the light of the explosion increased, and the scope quickly expanded. The hull fragments were like paralyzed giant beasts in the sea, floating up and down under the impact of the continuous exploding water waves. The other fourteen heavy battleships also He has lost his original aggressiveness, and the armored area on the outside has been penetrated, and it has long been unable to provide protection. The sea water pours in, the speed of the battleship slows down quickly, and the sails above are shot by Thor. The incendiary bomb hits, ignites, and makes a crackling sound in the whirring sea breeze,
Still not shaken in the slightest, the Southwest United Fleet at the expense of one-third of the cost, pulled the fleet into a short distance of 500 meters with the opponent. Angus Willie’s cold face finally changed, and the opportunity he was waiting for finally came,
"Go ahead and smash them!"
Angus Willie shouted in excitement. The spindle-shaped Southwest United Navy was knocked out of the most reliant "sawtooth", but the entire fleet is still complete, and there are more than fifty ships. On the opposite side, the thin linear array of the Falcon Navy is exposing its weakest abdomen in front of itself. The hull horizontally in front is the best target of the Navy’s collision angle.
"Really tenacious enough, order the ships to change formations, double-headed snakes!"
Du Stellenkai stared at the enemy ships approaching in a desperate posture, and said coldly on the Dragon-class flagship,
As the order was issued, the Falcons navy fleet, which was facing in a row and lined up suddenly, moved directly in the direction of the bow. This rapid change made Angus Willy on the opposite side happy and stiffened. Above, the Southwest United Fleet at this moment is like a tortoise that has struggled to climb to its destination. It is about to cross the bottom line and the spring blossoms. As a result, the bottom line runs to the side by itself, leaving a completely stupid one. The tortoise that fell out,
"This is just a shame"
Angus Willie wants to cry without tears~IndoMTL.com~A **** cavity is like being splashed with ice,
I have never seen such a shameless naval commander. The two linear fleets are divided into two like magic, each drew a huge arc on the sea, leaving the empty front to The Southwest United Fleet with a collision angle,
The heavy body of the giant battleship of the Empire obviously cannot keep up with the agility of the Dragon Tooth battleship,
Furthermore, when the spindle of the heavy warship was finally as aggressive as a side knife inserted into the open space, I suddenly realized that there were no enemy fleets in front of me. The huge tonnage except for the rolling waves. I can only watch as the enemy fleet slapped its **** easily and ran away after violently pumping itself to death.
Ten minutes later. Two huge half-arcs magically formed two queues in the north and south, and the southwest combined fleet was sandwiched in the middle
"Target, shoot!"
The dense shelling that had just stopped sounded again, the deafening attack, turning the sea surface, and the pulsating jet of light, shot out from the falcon battleships spread out on both wings almost at the same time, densely intertwined with countless grid patterns.
There are waves rolled up by vortexes like explosive rays of light everywhere, and the tail of the heavy battleship in the middle of the firepower net explodes dazzling sparks frequently. With the experience of the last time, the focus of the Falcon Navy’s attack is on At the tail of the other party, the flames and explosions burst from the tail with a blazing fire (to be continued.
