Power and Empire Chapter 2876: Furious (15)
Please enter the text of the southern sea of the Central Bahia mainland, the Yawu Bay Corridor,
Ice blocks that have not yet completely melted are floating on the icy sea. The white ice layer undulates with the waves, which is particularly eye-catching on the dark black water
The sky here seems to be always dark, never see the sun, the ocean is not blue, but the chilling dark waves are constantly surging, releasing extraordinary energy to the fullest. Every ship passing by here must be careful about the power of these waves, especially in winter, under the white ice layer, no one knows whether it is sea water or a hideous reef, only experienced The old sailor dared to pass here, and he would not choose in the unrecognizable winter, but in the autumn and summer when the wind direction is relatively smooth. At this moment, in the quiet bay, the waves are being split by a heavy triangular bow. , A Western Continent style *** boat, like a double-winged hairtail, is bulging its full spinnaker, like a sharp sword leaping out of the waves, crazy. Towards the front, regardless of the amount of ice in front, hitting the hull, the creaking sound makes one involuntarily feel that the legs and feet are soft,
"No way, you must slow down. This is almost suicide. If you continue like this, I'm afraid the ship will disperse before sailing out of this coast!" A sailor paled against the ship deck, almost They were thrown into the sea, and the entire deck is now in chaos. Although they have been mentally prepared, everyone did not expect that the people of Aden were so bold and dared to launch slings at a ship flying the imperial navy flag. The sailor’s The voice hasn't finished yet, booming! Another huge column of water was thrown high on the side of the hull. The swaying spray directly drenched it. At the same time, several other slings from the sky slammed into the sea behind the merchant ship. Hit the Imperial Navy flag at the stern of the hull,
"They did it." A watching sailor shouted to the captain below in a desperate manner, "Come, all here! These **** Adenites, at least eight ships, followed us three hours ago, finally It's still coming up!"
"Everyone prepares!"
Captain Kandel of the Dragon Crow of the Imperial Navy Survey Department looked cold and calmly gave orders to the sailors below,
As a sea area exploration ship belonging to the Imperial Navy, the Dragon Crow is not a combat vessel, but it does not mean that it has no counterattack capabilities. There are four light navy Thor IIIs representing the firepower of the Imperial Navy on each side. , They are all rapid-fire guns that were only equipped this year. If they fire at full strength, they can easily sink ordinary warships that have not thick decks. With the imperial navy’s firepower becoming less and less rivals in sea areas, the imperial navy has suspended heavy artillery Instead of starting to study light curved-fire guns with longer range and faster rate of fire, the Navy Thor III is one of them. Although the power is greatly weakened, the light weight in exchange for this can reach three rounds per minute. The rate of fire makes it the first choice for the configuration of the Imperial auxiliary ships
Since November, the Dragon Crow has received a secret order from the Admiralty to transform it into a merchant ship from the Kayron Port of the Eero Empire into the Sulair River, which is known as the Eero Golden Waterway, and then into the waters of Aden, and then According to a top-secret chart provided by the Admiralty, we started to move towards the final goal, the southern coast of the Eastern Continent,
From the navy chat glass, Captain Kandel saw that on the dark sea behind, seven or eight Adenian clippers followed, and after these smaller ones, there were obviously three large ones. Aden’s naval warship, with the blue cross of the Aden people flying on top of the warship. The sea route from the Sea of Aden to the southern sea of the Central Biyaland has always been under the absolute control of the Adenites. The Adenian Navy is in this sea area. The position of the imperial navy is like the position of the imperial navy in the interior sea area, so when the Aden navy discovered that an imperial ship suddenly appeared in the Aden Sea and was also heading in the direction of the southern sea of Central Bahia, the reaction can be imagined. ,
"The Imperial Navy must not be allowed to intervene in the Aden Sea. Otherwise, once the Imperial Merchant Fleet comes in, everything will be too late. Look at the Inland Sea and you will know what the imperial merchant locusts have done!" The furious Aden Navy immediately transferred to the nearby naval fleet. If it weren’t for the Dragon Crow’s timely imperial naval flag, which made the Aden Navy hesitate, the Adenites might have done it in the waters of Aden. The maritime trade of the sea has always been the largest source of wealth for the Kingdom of Aden. The expansion of the Falcon Empire in the inland waters is obvious to all. Although the imperial navy made the Aden Navy hesitate, as the Dragon Crow got closer and closer. In the southern sea of Biya, the people of Aden finally started to do it. On January 21st, there was an affair with the northern part of Central Biya. The forces of all parties entangled each other in order to **** a hundred thunder gods. It took place in Central Bia. This inconspicuous encounter in the southern waters aroused the great anger of the empire
Boom...
The catapults on the Aden Clippers continued to attack the Dragon Crow. In the eyes of the Aden Navy, this imperial ship had already severely hit the bottom line of the Aden Navy. A small exploration ship wanted to traverse the entire Aden Sea, this is not a joke!
"Send a semaphore to Abalon, destroy the opponent's sails and deck, and then send ship-borne soldiers to kill them all"
On a main battleship of the Golden Parrot class of the Kingdom of Aden, the commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Kingdom of Aden, Ula Kabra, said to the adjutant behind him, looking provocatively at the distance under the attack. The imperial navy ship, with a kind of pride in controlling the sea, what about the imperial navy, which is known as the hegemon of the inland sea? This sea area has been under the control of the Kingdom of Aden for more than 50 years. Everything here belongs to Aden. It is a dream to go to Zhongbia from here!
"My lord, if we kill all the empires in this way, will there be trouble?" the adjutant said worriedly behind him.
"Trouble? The living will have trouble, the dead will not have!" Uracabura shook his hand on the ship's gunwale and smiled. This is the southern sea of Central Biya, not the Sea of Aden, the Gulf of Yawu, in winter. No ship dared to pass through, even if these empires were killed, who would know! Otherwise, why do you think I would watch them crossing the Sea of Aden? If it weren’t for merchant ships along the way, I would have ordered an attack."
Boom. ∽↗∽↗,
In the distance, a hapless Aden sail-shaped fast ship suddenly burst into a fierce fire, even lighting up the gray sky, in the dazzling fire, bursting with sawdust. There were also black spots that were screaming and being pushed into the air by the air waves. The light quickly dissipated, and the sea returned to calm, but the mutilated hull had already tilted, and the waves were still violently rolling and beating on it. "It's the Imperial Thor!" Urakabra's azure pupils shrunk, and the hand holding the ship's side tightened. Of course, he had heard of the power of the Imperial Thor, but it was the first time I saw it. I didn't expect it to be so terrible. This exploded Aden Navy Clipper was extremely fast and maneuvered very flexibly, but the deck was thinner, but it was hit by a single blow and almost broke in the middle. As a result, it still made everyone who saw this scene. The sailors of the Aden navy secretly shook their tongues, and the two ocean overlords finally had a direct collision, "Press it up, no matter what it is!" After the trance, Ula Cabra immediately became excited, like a discovery The hungry wolf who lost its prey has light in its eyes, which is really unexpected
I thought it was just an ordinary survey ship, but I didn’t expect that there was Imperial Thor on it. How could this kind of gift from heaven be let go, although the Aden Navy and the Falcon Imperial Navy are separated by the Erot Empire and the Aden Kingdom, But since one can come today, there may be two or three tomorrow. The day when the two navies really collide is not far away. This incident has already caused tension among the top of the Aden Navy. If you can bring Thor back. , This feat is put to His Majesty the King, and it is absolutely talkable!
"My lord, the flagship command, step forward!" a semaphore shouted to Captain Aden below
"Come on? How come!" The Captain Aden with a blue headbag on his head had a completely angrily expression on his face. He thought that the speed of the Aden Flying Fish Sailboat was already the fastest in the world. But I didn't expect that, although the Falcon Empire ship in front was not as flexible as the flying fish sailboat, the firepower from the side almost did not scare people to death. Move up...from the left or the right? I'm afraid that it hasn't gotten closer, and it was overturned on deck just like the Fuliou.
"Boom Rumble", red flames are constantly ejected from the side of the imperial ship. On this violently surging sea, Thor's accuracy is very poor, but the waves raised by the landing point made the Aden Navy's Clippers sway. Swing to the west, the side of this Aden Flying Fish Clipper is only three or four meters high, and its ability to resist wind and waves is very poor. Once it is used for offshore patrols, it is temporarily transferred out this time. With full speed forward, the stability of the hull It has reached its limit, and now it is hit by Thor's violent water waves, and suddenly the deck rolls over. The sailors on it were blown up and fell directly into the cold water. Sometimes the hull capsized and all the people on board fell into the water.
In the winter, the Yawu Bay is unusually cold, with ice tumbling underneath, no matter how good the physique is, it will sink into the sea within a few minutes.
"My lord, do you need to send a boat to rescue people?" The adjutant looked at some corpses floating on the sea with an ugly expression. As the waves rolled, they floated up and down, and some of them were not frozen to death, lying on various floats. In terms of things, cry out for help here
"They are just lowly sailors, and in this kind of weather, you can't survive if you save them. Don't worry about them, take the ship first!" Fleet Commander Ulacabra curled his lips with cold disdain. Most of the sailors of the Aden Navy were impoverished civilians, and the civilians in the Kingdom of Aden were only a little higher than the slaves. For the nobles in the kingdom like Uracabura, the status of these civilian sailors was no different from that of slaves. , The only difference is that slaves can be killed at will, and civilians need to be compensated for killing, but some civilians are dead, and at most they were caught in a storm halfway and sank with the ship
In the navy, there is no compensation for accidents at sea. On the contrary, these sailors have to be held accountable because it was their fault that caused the loss of the kingdom’s property
Anyway, everyone knows how easy this flying fish clipper is to turn over. If these people are saved now, it will be worse. I can’t be in a storm like the above, if I die in a war. , One third of the compensation for these deceased comes from the kingdom, one third is for the navy, and one third is for the navy squadron to pay for it. Who will do such an uneconomical thing!
Boom, boom, boom... After a violent sound, the Thor shells fired almost straight out, unbiasedly shot from the bow of a fast spinnaker boat, and then made earth-shattering in the belly of the ship. The explosion caused the entire spinnaker-type fast boat to emit a dazzling fire, and shattered wood chips and incomplete limbs hit the side of the Dragon Crow one after another. The distance between the two parties was already close. Almost as soon as the gun was ejected, it directly hit the side of the ship that was approaching. The choking gunpowder even hit the opposite deck and rolled over. Due to the very close distance of the explosion, the Dragon Crow The hull was also swayed severely, the mast also creaked, and Kandel himself was swayed for a while before standing still.
"Turn left, stretch the distance!" Kandel righted his hat~IndoMTL.com~ shouted loudly, before the voice fell, the second naval gun started firing again, and some sailors just clicked before they could stand firm. Falling into the icy water, the hull pulled apart, but the flying fish sailboat was really fast and flexible. Finally, there was a Yading fast corner sail which successfully avoided the attack of the Dragon Crow naval gun
The Aden sailors above, holding their spears and machetes high, threw hooks toward the hull, snapping, the hooks hitting the ship’s side and making a heavy sound. The Aden sailors were squeezing people individually. Wearing thin linen, without any decoration. Everyone’s skin is pitch black, and some have grim tattoos on their faces. Taking advantage of the violent collision of the ship’s deck, they jumped towards the deck of the Dragon Crow
Crash! "I heard a broken blow, and a few shining spots of light were like razors, hitting directly on the Aden sailor who flew over, and I saw the blood blossoms splashing like spring water, many of them in Aden. The sailor’s body was penetrated, and some heads were shattered, but the lower body continued to rush forward until it fell on the deck and the corpse fell down with a rumbling. The blood continued to flow along the deck.
It was an Imperial bed crossbow placed at the tail of the Dragon Crow, which was condescendingly towards the side of the ship. After firing once, the Imperial sailors were pulling the bowstring of this bed crossbow for the second time with all their strength (to be continued.)
