Power and Empire Chapter 1905: Fragrant Wind (5)
Until now, the pirates who call themselves "Straight Bros Gatekeepers" haven't figured out where the enemy comes from? The opponent’s sharp attack made the pirates tremble from body to soul. The intensive explosions finally stopped, and the opponent’s small sampans full of infantry rushed to the beach like thunder.
"Quickly, get them off!" The pirates gathered some people in a panic, and they were shot head-on from the landing site.
"The first team! Suppress them"
The crossbowmen of the Imperial Navy actually don’t need the commander to warn them. They have already rushed to the commanding heights with the most visibility. They are truly outstanding, sharp and accurate professional soldiers. Fatty formulated the Imperial Inland Sea Strategy in June last year. At that time, many of the active army elites were transferred to the navy. Now in the Imperial Army, elite crossbowmen have become saturated.
And every squadron has a group of elite soldiers sitting on the ground, it is too difficult and too difficult for rising stars to shine! Take the battle with the Gauls as an example. Unless it is a very tragic encounter, the imperial crossbowmen in the formation will not have a special squadron that is particularly outstanding, and the imperial has special preferential treatment for foreign navies. , The families of naval soldiers can follow the army to the Obaro continent. The Admiralty has built a special naval city to accommodate them. This is quite attractive to some veterans in the army, so for some experienced people who don’t want to be in the army For veterans who continue to fight fiercely in the battle, it is a good choice to choose a relatively relaxed navy.
On the army battlefield, these elite Falcon Empire crossbowmen fire accurately and effectively, and are equipped with the armor-piercing Mitsubishi arrow that represents the highest achievement of the Imperial Army. So much so that in the war against Gaul in the north, the Gauls were frustrated as "When the bowstrings of the imperial crossbowmen were pulled apart. Any heavily armed troops in front of them would lose their spirit of shouting"
And now, their cold killing eyes are falling on a group of pirates who do not live or die, their mouths yelling like beasts, and the hands of the veterans dragging their crossbows are stable like a rock that has experienced countless frosts. They can One arrow penetrates the gap of the enemy's heavy infantry hòu's heavy armor, and reaches the power of one arrow through the throat against the enemy's heavy infantry, now. Even the most basic armors in front of this group have not been popularized. Many people are still wearing pirates with shiny leather armor. The old soldier who used to be the target of the Gaul heavy infantry is like a precise and orderly killing machine.
After one row of shooting was finished, the other row was immediately topped, and the three hundred teams were divided into four echelons, and they used rotation to shoot in an orderly way, "Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!" in an instant. A pirate rushing in front seemed to see countless white sickles in his eyes, suddenly sweeping down the flat line occupied by the enemy, countless arrow tails suddenly spreading from the front,
"This is!" The pirate's body halted, and his pupils dilated in an instant. The metal arrow became bigger and bigger in his eyes. The "flapping" sharp Mitsubishi piercing arrow broke off the pirate's fragile vertebrae without hindrance, and the violently swinging tail shot through the pirate's body. /
is the same as him. The aggressive one rushed in front, and the cluster of arrows that was attacked turned into a hedgehog. The corpse fell to the ground and was hit by a cluster of arrows.
The powerful and heavy crossbow arrows are like rows of sharp shovel piercing blood holes in their bodies without strong armor, and then sweeping out a string of splashes of blood sprayed on the sand, only for a short time. In an instant, the pirates paid more than a hundred casualties, and the others were scared and quickly backed away
The opponent’s rigorous armor style, and the sharp attack methods that are even impossible to fight back, all show how big the gap between you and the opponent is. The arrow clusters shot from the opposite side are like a storm, almost There was no sign of pause, and the completely suppressed subordinates could not get up. A pirate reluctantly held a shield and turned and wanted to run. Before taking the third step, a white line hit the pirate’s reserve with a white line. After being covered by the rain of arrows, in the eyes of everyone, a living person suddenly turned into a blood rose with clusters of arrows.
"This is the crossbow of the Falcon Empire!"
Pirate Chief Steel Hand Yamu lay unpretentiously behind a reef, seeing the scene in front, his body shuddered and his face was as gray as death.
He has been on the island of Lombard for fourteen years. He can live his own life steadily. He can also draw a profit from smugglers. Naturally, not only because he owns dozens of large and small warships under his command, but also because of him. Behind is the Strant who crosses the Inland Sea. As the eyes of the Strand who arranged at the entrance of the Zhibro Seaway, he has been paying attention to the other side of the seaway in the past few months.
Although they are pirates, Yamu also knows that the Strand Sea is the most powerful in the Inland Sea, but the Strands are not entirely the masters of the Inland Sea. In addition to the Strands, there are also people from the Inland Sea. The clear sky naval fleet of the Istanian Empire on the eastern coast controls the Fezer naval fleet that formed a military alliance along the southern coast. On the open sea, the sea roads are controlled only by a powerful empire called the Falcon Empire, once known as The Falcon Empire’s fleet in the First Offshore Fleet was directly destroyed by the Falcon Empire’s navy. It is said that the Falcon Empire’s naval fleet has the ability to destroy a country.
If it were the past, the pirate steel hand Yamu would sneer at such rumors, the navy fleet may be very strong, but the naval fleet’s weapon configuration is destined to be used only for naval operations, and the threat to the land is minimal. The naval fleet’s The main weapon is the catapult. Even the heaviest five-mast warship of the Strand Sea Nation, using the Poseidon’s arm catapult with the farthest range, the slingshot that can be thrown will not exceed meters. /
or can easily smash the guard tower of the defensive port, but for the vast urban area, the destructive power that the sling can produce is just that the leaves on a giant tree are crushed, but more leaves are still densely packed However, the loss of a leaf can hardly be counted. Therefore, in the history of the inland sea, except for a small number of naval commanders, because of personal anger, the record of ordering the fleet to bombard the city with sling bombs is very small. Explicitly tell him that the enemies he encountered are completely different from before, as long as the other party is willing, it can be like the previous explosions. Destroy the entire island and kill everyone!
"Don’t mess with everyone!"
Pirate Chief Steelman Yamu shouted loudly.
Before the voice of fell, I heard a loud rumbling loud noise, everything changed so quickly, Kontetsu Yamu's face still had an expression of astonishment. I saw a dozen men hiding behind the rock not far away. They didn’t even have time to scream. In a burst of fire, they made a creepy sound like fried peas, a dozen. The subordinates were thrown several meters away by the huge air wave. The pores on the body spurted blood together. Lying on the sand like rotten wooden stakes covered in blood, the gravel shattered into dust while dancing, and a huge oval trench five feet wide and several feet deep was born in the explosion!
"My God!"
The pirates were completely scared. Yamu, the pirate leader, took a breath while looking at the huge trench. His face turned pale. He just saw the situation a few seconds before the explosion. The black sphere of Mars was thrown from the direction of the beach. After crossing a semi-arc and landing, he rolled directly from the position of Gunhand Yamu a few meters forward to the current explosion position. If it hadn't been rolled forward a few times, it would be Gunhand Yamu now that turned into pieces of meat. Up
"Target 56 meters, height 19"
on the landing beach. More than a dozen small trebuchets have been set up, and a team of imperial soldiers cautiously pushed black spheres into the slings. They are the imperial navy grenadiers. In the transfer last June, the fat man assigned the imperial grenadier formation into the naval combat force.
because it takes into account the peculiarities of naval operations. Especially when the enemy's warships attacked or slammed into a sudden attack, they had to fall into a battle with no advantage. In order to make up for the shortcomings of insufficient melee forces on naval battleships, the target of these explosive bombs is the crowd crowded by the enemy on the side of the ship, which is the deck of the enemy battleship, and if necessary, directly destroys the enemy’s mast and podium. So the Naval Grenadier Station The small explosive bombs used are more than twice the size and power of the Army’s small explosive bombs, which are focused on convenience. The small catapult capable of throwing these objects weighing up to 20 to 30 kilograms was installed on the beach just now. On the assault sampan,
"Shoot!"
Following Commander Elvis’s raised hand, the small trebuchets lined up violently shook, and dozens of small black dots with sparks were thrown into the air, rumbling again. The continuous explosion sounded like a hot whirlwind suddenly rolled up in front of you, the hot and **** breath, like a crushed bag, blowing smoke and dust everywhere,
The naval explosive bombs that can shatter the decks of battleships can be imagined for their power on flat ground. Their terrible explosive impact is wrapped in countless pieces of iron flying out of it. For nearby pirates, this is A catastrophic consequence. They hid behind the object and considered themselves safe. As a result, the parabolic navy burst bombs fell like a celestial flower. They were totally unprepared. With the sound of explosions, the pirates One after another, there was a piece of crying father and mother, and the bone marrow, tendons and blood vessels of the human body were crushed by flying iron pieces.
Because the pirates overcrowded in order to avoid the crossbow arrows, a dozen or so burst bombs fell, almost one-third of his people were reimbursed. The others were either covered in dust or blood, regardless of injuries. Yes, the uninjured, all lie on the ground regardless of head and tail. They are really scared of being bombed. Some people are scared of weapons. Let alone counterattack, those who can stand upright now are heroes!
Looking at everything that happened in his eyes, Gunhand Yamu's calf was turning. The subordinates have completely lost their fighting spirit. Everyone will go crazy the last time. Even Steel Hand Yamu himself, his legs are soft and unable to use strength, black armor, powerful and terrifying fleet, plus The precise and frightening crossbow and the now exploding myself feel that they are the weird weapons of the end of the world. I don't know who the enemy is facing. That's a fool, the northern Falcon Empire, the overlord of the outer seas! Apart from them, who would turn the naval fleet that has always been a supporting role into a dragon capable of destroying everything!
Chief Steelman Yamu wanted to cry without tears. He was just a pirate, how could he contend with an imperial fleet, and decisively pulled out his white underwear and hung it on a wooden branch, raised it tremblingly, and shook it back and forth.
"Stop fighting, we surrender!"
"Stop!"
Commander Elvis saw that the opponent raised the white flag, raised his hand, the crossbow arrows and the catapult stopped, and a soldier cautiously approached the pirates who raised their weapons in front of them to express their surrender, but the pirates did not. attack. They put down their weapons one after another, it seems that they really surrendered. Elvis ordered a large force to move forward and soon took control of the entire port area.
Upon receiving the news of the army’s occupation of the port, Dusterenkai looked at the sand bucket placed not far away thinking about the leaking sand bucket below. There was still a slight gap between the last fine sand falling from a height. This shows that the battle lasted less than an hour, and the island of Lombard has a vital status. Fell into the hands of the Imperial Navy,
This is the first foothold of the Imperial Navy in the inner sea area. Dustellenkai valued this place very much. He ordered the pirate leader Amu to interrogate the pirate leader. The surrender of the other party showed that he was not a stubborn and strong person. Sure enough, he was asking the pirate leader if he was willing to serve the empire. The steel hand Yamu happily expressed his willingness to surrender to the Falcon Imperial Navy, and took the initiative to report the situation of the islands and the waters around the islands, as well as the recent rumours of the inland sea. The fleet of Trant Sea State has left its home port. Unknown whereabouts,
Du Sternkai frowned slightly, looked at the undulating blue sea below the ship’s gunwale, turned around and ordered the adjutant behind him, "I will report this news to your Majesty immediately! Although our navy fleet has preemptively occupied Lombard Island, But the Strand Navy also set off ahead of schedule. Calculated from the time of its departure, it is very likely that it will arrive in the southern waters of Gangfei before us!"
The occupation of Lombard Island by the Falcon Empire Navy. Although it was only a small-scale battle with great power disparity, it was the first battle of the Falcon Imperial Navy in the inner sea area. In the military sense, the Falcon Imperial Navy seized Lombard Island and built a naval base, which is equivalent to completely opening the outer sea and the inner sea. At the junction, the gateway to the Zhibro Seaway, the empire has been preparing for half a year's inland sea strategy and officially launched, and countless imperial merchant ships will begin to swarm into the inland sea from here. The imperial maritime trade opened the curtain of a century of vigorous inland seas, because the geographical features of Lombard island are like a yellow sparrow with a bulging belly, so this battle is also known as the "yellow sparrow" battle. Sparrow has the meaning of expander in Obalo.
The news from the Navy and the news from Gangfei arrived almost at the same time.
One is good, the other is bad. The good is that the Congolese Empire is not willing to fight the Falcon Empire on land. Instead, they choose not to admit the fact that someone is acting as a spy. This has not left the Congolese Empire. The first lady of the Rand Sea State was extremely angry, and it is said that she denounced Gang Fei Ren as a coward the next day.
The bad news is that the Imperial Navy seized Lombard Island as scheduled, but the Strand Navy, the biggest opponent, actually disappeared.
Although the inner sea is not large, it is by no means small. As the watershed between Central Europe and South Europe, the width of the entire inner sea reaches more than 300 miles. Among them, there are thousands of islands and thousands of miles across the sea. Once The main force of the Strand navy, who is familiar with the terrain, chose to set up an ambush on that island, like a drop of water falling in the lake. Without an exact location, it is impossible to find it. This is for those who have penetrated into the inner sea area and are ready to fight against the southern part of the country. As far as the Empire Fleet is concerned, it is a huge threat.
" can pass this news to the Burrows family! "Fatty handed one of the reports on Gangfei to Lidastorf" telling them that anyway, the Strand Sea State Fleet must be obtained Where is the main force!"
Lidastorf took the report, hesitated for a moment, and bowed respectfully and asked, "Your Majesty, just because I don’t want to take over the hot potato, the other party’s value is considered to be reached, such a person can’t stay... ..."
"Don't worry, as a surplus value, he is still useful to us!"
The fat man shook his hand, narrowed his eyes, and said, "The Burrows family has been invested in the empire, but the generalist faction does not mean that they will completely disappear. After all, except for a part of the Burrows family, they want to take advantage of the chaos. There are still some truly passionate generalists, and they hand over the leader of the Jījin faction to Gang Fei~IndoMTL.com~ to divert the attention of this part of the general jījin faction," "What does your majesty mean?" Li Dastov was slightly taken aback
"You revealed the news to the Papley family, saying that the empire is going to execute this person for treason in ten days!"
The fat man touched his nose and said in a condensed voice, "Then go to Varysian and ask him to tell the Papuli family from another line that this prisoner will be taken back from the border and will pass by Luakala at noon tomorrow. In the region, someone is willing to help the Papley family save people, but it needs 300,000"
"Your Majesty is going to let this person out on purpose?" Lidastorf was shocked when he heard that,
"You can say that too!" The corner of the fat man's mouth grinned slightly. "As long as the other party really goes halfway to intercept the prisoner tomorrow, I will send guards along the way to lock up the locks and let the other party follow our route. In the end, the other party will still I will go to Gangfei!
At that time, we will ask the Gangfei empire again. As long as Gangfei sends the person back again, we can say that it is not that we don't want him to live, but Gangfei wants him to die! Anyway, if you want to plant something, let the gangster's black pot be darker. The best black is shiny.
Since Gang Fei chose to avoid fighting at the beginning, he will definitely avoid fighting for the second time! As long as Gang Fei really does this, even if the Strands want to win Gang Fei, they have to choose to turn their faces! Otherwise, they are just slapping themselves in the face naked! "
