Power and Empire Chapter 1913: Who is the bait (4)
Putao Coastal, Huacheng Island
Fatty is standing on a cliff by the sea, looking from the top of the inwardly curved mountain five miles north of the coast to the sea, the turquoise sea with blue waves in spring, and the islands dense like gems in the blue water Group, the sun on the sea is exceptionally beautiful, like slender lines falling on the tranquil sea, embroidered with a faint golden light along with the waves.
Three months ago, the empire began to rebuild the Huacheng Port on a large scale. The expanded Huacheng Island is twice as large as the original. The four directions of the stop are close to the concave edge for expansion, and the regular dock is moored. A beautiful arc is drawn along the coastline, and the number of stops is expanded from eight to eighteen.
Everyone can see that the Imperial Navy will turn the entire Huacheng Island into a huge pier,
This move not only shook General Tau, but also deeply shook the inland sea area. The imperial merchant fleet swarmed into the major ports like locusts, breaking through a thousand ships in just a few months, which almost occupied the inland sea. One-third of the total number of merchant fleets of the various countries in the region, the dominance of the Northern Falcon Empire stunned the entire Inland Sea, and the empire’s influence on the Inland Sea rose sharply, and finally forced the Strands to turn their faces ahead of schedule.
" Your Majesty, Duke General, please see you! "A guard came from behind to report,
" Duke Putao? What is he here for?" The fat man turned around a little unexpectedly, just in time to see the radiant Duke Putao stepping down from a gorgeous golden carriage, walking hurriedly toward this side. The Duke of Putao has long been different from what it used to be. The little duke who was so angry at the beginning is now the real Duke of the right to shake the party. If this is the convenience of the imperial smuggling, the Duke of Putao is now in a small territory, but has a status. Extraordinary, the value of the goods transported from this area every day is more than one million gold coins, and the influence of the general area has increased.
Pu Tau area has been called the golden land by other parts of Central Europe. The merchants believe that there are gold everywhere here and they can make a fortune as long as the goods are shipped, especially the goods here are mostly smuggled.
Falcon in the north, Fezer in the south, and Central and Biya in the east, the various controlled materials are not restricted here. As long as they are willing to pay and do not violate the prohibitions of the imperial army, the smugglers will not ask about the identity of the other party. The powerful and sophisticated ordnance of the Northern Falcon Empire, the beautiful handsome servants of Fei Ze, the luxurious and blurred golden silk and jade silk of Central and Biyah, the sharp and unusually sharp Istan curved swords of the Istanians, and some people who don’t even know their names. Treasures here are paradise for royal families and nobles from all over the world,
Although the Falcon Empire has extremely bad diplomatic relations with the Central European and Baro countries, it has always upheld fairness in business relations. Here, as long as it does not violate the laws of the Empire, the Empire’s military will turn a blind eye to you. But no matter who it is, if you want to safely pass the goods through the Ducal Palace from here, it is an important part that cannot avoid the past. In such an environment, although the Ducal Ducal does not have the realities of a regional king, it is in various countries. Among the nobles, it seems that they are already juxtaposed with the monarchs of other parts of Central Europe
"Your Majesty!"
Putau duke respectfully knelt down on one knee in front of the fat man, bowed his head in salute,
Although I have met many times, the public with unlimited scenery outside, the fat man is like a mouse meeting a cat, he knows very well that the scenery of the general is because of the huge empire's business line standing behind him. , Without the empire-like merchant ships and huge influence, the Putao area is just a small unknown area,
"I heard that you are busy marrying the little sister of Lu Wu's family recently, why are you in the mood to come over?" The fat man glanced over and joked and said, "If I remember correctly, this should be your fifth wife. Come on, in less than a year, and marrying five wives in a row, you are definitely the first one among the dukes of all dynasties!"
"This is a joint fog, there is really no way!"
Duke Putao smiled slightly. He is now fit. It turns out that there are more people coming to the rich. In order to stabilize his position as the Duke, he strives to be able to advance to the throne earlier and digest it through marriage. Uniting the forces under his command is a necessary means,
"Get up, what's the matter with you? The fat man was deeply moved by this and raised his hand to him
" His subordinates wanted to ask, what is your Majesty's plan to deal with the guilt of the Papley family?" The Duke of Putao stood up and said cautiously
"The guilt of the Papley family?" The fat man who listened to his mouth smiled. "To be honest, I didn’t think about it, but it’s a shame to kill." Influential and a vassal of the Burrows family, I sent him back to Gang Fei, who knew that the other party refused to accept it! What an annoyance! "
Fatty tilted his head. "A pretty good young man, ambitious and ideal. If we weren't fighting Gang Fei, I might choose to let him go!"
"Your Majesty will let him go?"
The Duke Putao heard the fat man’s thoughts, he was shocked, and said quickly, "Your Majesty, this person must not be let go. Once it is released, the whole Putao will be messed up! This person relies on the Burrows family. Support and criticize the empire in public many times. Such a crime should be executed directly."
"Direct execution? "Fatty's eyes narrowed slightly." I heard that the Burrows family has a close relationship with your Ducal Mansion. Your current attitude is very puzzling."
" Isn’t the relationship shallow? "When the Duke of Putu heard this word, his face was dumbfounded, and he responded," His Majesty said that the relationship should be a hostile relationship! One is the top giant on the mainland, who once controlled several kingdoms in the most powerful era In the court, one is the regional little duke. The monarch is at the bottom of the ranking. Compared with the two, these nobles have a greater sense of identity with the Burrows family, the mainland giants, than the little dukes in my area. Paprisoda, one of the special envoys of the Rose family, just played the banner of the Burrows family and quickly won the hearts of the elites of the nobles. However, my dignified duke did not even have a follower who could be seen in the past. In comparison, it’s not difficult to see that my Duke’s Mansion is full of overwhelming vigilance towards the Paples."
The fat man waved his hand and said, "Haha, forget it, tell you, the criminal was robbed halfway and fled into Gangfei, but Gangfei sent the man back again. Two days later, he was escorted. The convoy will return to Lisbon, and then I will hand the man over to you. After all, he is still a nobleman in your general area, and his life and death decision is yours!"
"That's it, I understand!"
The Duke of Putao heard his eyes glimmering, and raised his head excitedly. He is a very smart person. How can he not see that the empire is obviously trying to plant the Gangfei empire, but the Papley’s He fled into the territory of Congo and was forcibly sent back by the people of Congo, knowing that the empire of Congo and Fei resolutely does not accept this planting,
Your Majesty gave himself the power to decide the life and death of this person. The meaning here is too precious. The relationship between himself and the Burrows family is extremely poor. You can imagine the result of this person falling into his own hands, and he can just as well. Use the influence of the execution of this person to frighten those who think that the Burrows family is more worthy of investment than themselves. Those nobles are as good as monkeys. Behind them is His Majesty the Falcon, and the Burrows family is already a day. The rootless duckweed, in such a wind, it is clear and unmistakable whether to choose to be loyal to the Burrows family or to be loyal to himself.
With a bit of joy, the Duke of Putu boarded the carriage and went straight to Lisbon.
Looking at the shadow of the Duke Putu’s carriage disappearing in the distance, the fat man turned around and asked, "Is there any news about the frontline fleet?"
"The fleet sent a dent one day ago that it had already occupied Kuro. From the time point of view, the fleet should have arrived at the Port of Valenya by this time!" An Admiralty officer standing behind replied cautiously. ,
"Port Valenya, so fast!"
Fatty's face was slightly astonished, and the Imperial fleet swept across the southern coast of Gangbang. As expected, the Strand Navy, as a strong enemy, did not appear, and the operation went smoothly beyond imagination.
The port of Valenya is less than a hundred nautical miles away from the last port. Under normal circumstances, within three days, the main force of the imperial fleet will arrive at the port of Vasili where the Strands ambush, the fleet of the Strand Sea State. , I should feel that Shengjuan is in hand! , Unfortunately, who is the fish and who is the bait? I'm afraid that when the opponent reacts, everything is a foregone conclusion. If the imperial navy deploys a powerful bow and arrow on the southern coast of Congo, then it is the most unexpected dark arrow that really determines everything. It was revealed, like a thunderbolt before a storm is coming across the sky, looking at the sea in the distance, it seems to be searching for something, the sea breeze from the high place blows his black hair
He sternly said to the Admiralty officer behind him, "Send to Dustlenko, after arriving in Valenya, the decoy plan can be implemented!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Admiralty Officer responded with an excited look
just off the southern coast
The battle in Port Valenya has entered a white-hot stage. The imperial crossbowmen's hash advance squeezes the line of the Gangfei infantry. Fortunately, the temporary extended wooden wall blocked the Gangfei people from a lot of arrow clusters. , The longbow troops under the commander of the Eleventh Step Corps of the South Congo, Fabgares, also played a big role. The number of longbow shooters recruited by Fabgareth from his hometown was 1,000. Not really good at being brave, but the good archery skills he has been trained in hunting in the mountains all the year round have also caused casualties to the crossbowmen of the Falcon Empire.
" ordered the fleet to stop the bombardment, and the front troops withdrew back to the port security zone! Dusterenkai looked up at the sky, it was already afternoon, and he issued an order to evacuate the troops. After detecting the Strant’s operations After the intention, it is unwise to continue to order Thor to pave the way,
" My lord, how did you stop? "The pirate leader Yamu came from the deck eagerly." We have defeated the enemy's first line of defense. According to the tactics of step-by-step, we can always fight under the opponent's fortress! "
" Didn’t you see? The other party is delaying time, they are waiting for it to get dark!" What needs to be faced is the 10,000 Gangfei army based on mountain defense, even if it can really push all the way to the enemy's fortress, what will happen at night? If the opponent launches a counterattack in the dark, three thousand landing troops, Moreover, he is dragging the heavy Thor, and there will be few people coming back by then? I can't beat it today, wait for tomorrow!"
"Hey, what a pity!"
Pirate leader Yamu shook his head sadly. People who didn’t know thought he was sorry for the disadvantage of the fleet attack. Those who knew knew it was a pity for not consuming more Thor bullets. He had already I have observed that the total number of Thor in the Falcon Empire fleet is about 1,000.
This is a terrible destructive force. One salvo is estimated to be able to destroy a small half of a city. If it is fighting at sea, the long-range strike force of the Falcon Imperial Navy is enough to destroy most of the enemy at 400 meters away. This is also the most terrifying place of the Falcon Imperial Navy, but the consumption caused by the two thousand Thors is equally astonishing. As the fleet continues to the north, the supply line is rapidly elongated, and the transport fleet returns to General Tau from here. It takes at least a day to return to the fleet.
That is to say, during these seven days, the Thor ammunition on the Falcon Empire is in a state of no supply. Once empty, it will completely lose its long-range suppression ability, and Yamu saw the main fleet in the evening. The latter's transport fleet began to turn, and disappeared in the direction of the Zhibro Seaway,
"The opportunity is finally here!"
Yamu held the ship’s side with his hands, his eyes flickered, and now the fleet of the Falcon Empire is in a situation where one shot is less than one point, and all he has to do is to let the fleet of the Falcon Empire leave the transport ship for seven days. In time, consume as much Thor bullets as possible,
What should " do? It would be great if Gang Fei could launch a large-scale charge. Although it would kill people, it would at least consume a lot of Thor bullets! "Yamu's heart could not help but be full of nasty thoughts. , He is a Strand, he has no mercy for how many Gangfei people will die. In fact, as the pirate king of Zhibro Haidao, there are many Gangfei people under his sword.
Many pirates in the inner sea are Strands. This is a high-level secret of the Strand navy. The territory of the sea country is the sea, but the Strand navy can’t really control the entire sea area, so It is a good choice for some elites in the navy to dress up as pirates to control the sea, and Yamu is obviously the best among these elites.
At the age of 21, he was retired from the role of the captain of the sea country, and took the place of the sea country to sit on the Bromo Seaway. With more than ten years of hard work, with the help of the sea country, overtly or secretly, he gathered Thousands of thieves and dozens of warships can also be ranked among the top three in the inland sea pirates, but this time, for the sea country, he did not hesitate to give up everything he had gained for more than ten years of hard work, because this is The battle of life and death in the sea country. As a sea country soldier, he knows that if the sea country is defeated, without the backing of the sea country fleet, he, the pirate king of straight Buro, will be easily wiped out by the navies of other countries.
lived up to Yamu’s expectations. The next day, the Falcon Empire’s naval fleet once again launched shelling on the Gangfei 11th Step Corps in the early morning, but because the distance was too far, the effect was not great. Once again, the fleet is required to stop attacking and the landing troops build fortifications.
On the opposite side, the number of the Congolese and African armies has shown an increasing trend.
"Asshole, it's Gang Fei's reinforcements!"
Through the earning mirror in his hand, Dusterenkai saw that the Gangfei infantry in the distance placed a heavier array. What he saw yesterday was only the infantry, but today he saw the cavalry, all equipped with spears. And close shield, wearing red light armor, red cloak, even the streamers on top of their pointed helmets are fuchsia red, fluttering in the wind, like a red cloud floating on the mountain, and above this red cloud is The densely packed spears are sparkling lustrous flashes flowing in the deep mist, as if a luminous river has been added to the earth.
" is the Fourth Cavalry Regiment of the Gangfei Southern Army, their station is less than mile from here, they should have arrived overnight!"
The pirate leader’s voice is a little bit unnoticeable, it’s really a natural wish, and I’m still thinking about how to consume the Falcon Navy’s ammunition and drugs. Just when I was not human, I sent additional reinforcements. The Southern Army was fourth The Cavalry Regiment is a cavalry unit with thousands of people. It is a unit with brilliant achievements and merits. It has always been the troop of the Congolese Empire guarding the southern region.
"The opponent is preparing to take the initiative to attack?’
Du Stellenkai frowned slightly as he looked through the sight glass. The opposing cavalry unit was gathering. A cavalry general wearing a red armor ran past the cavalry array just like a parade. In the area where they ran, the Gangfei cavalry started pouring down like mountain torrents, attacking the landing troops at the port from three directions
"Attack!"The Gang and Fei cavalrymen shouted loudly~IndoMTL.com~Overwhelmingly, the momentum is amazing
"Stupid!"
Du Stellenkai’s lips quivered, facing the entire imperial fleet's two thousand thunder gods to launch an assault, the opposing cavalry commander was no longer brave, but extremely stupid,
"Shoot!"
has hardly waited for the flagship’s order, and has launched a salvo against the extremely arrogant Gangfei cavalry and Thor of the Imperial Fleet
rumbling! The continuous sound of the film shows the power that makes the sky and the earth boil in an instant. The entire white smoke is sprayed from the muzzle of the side of the battleship with the baffle open, and the whole row is rushed, converging into a high and moving symphony,
Countless white lines across the sea, flying towards the cavalry group with a harsh whistling sound like hail,
"Rumble" endless explosions, showing a scene like the collapse of the sky and the boiling of the sea,
The commander of the Gangfei cavalry who led the charge, he was not even aware of the situation he was encountering, so he was directly covered by the thunderbolt that fell like a torrential rain above his head, and his body was broken to pieces.
When Thor’s shelling ceased, at least three thousand or more Gangfei cavalry soldiers turned into pieces of meat.
The blood of the big beach is like a huge red carpet that has been spilt, like a huge fan spreading less than 100 meters from the port.
