Power and Empire Chapter 3050: The wind of the empire (12)
South China Sea of Central Asia
The sea breeze blowing in is very hot, which is completely different from the vast scene of the frozen snow and ice in the north. The temperature in the South China Sea area of Central Biya is much higher than that in the north.
The bright sun in winter penetrates the beams of light formed by the clouds, adding a hint of golden brilliance to the undulating blue waves on the sea surface. The waves are constantly surging, releasing extraordinary energy to their hearts’ content. As far as the South China Sea is concerned, the unique violent weather formed under the confluence of the cold current going south with the wind and the warm current on the sea surface,
Maybe this moment is still fascinating with the blue sky, and the next moment is the wind and storm. Every ship sailing on it must be careful about the power of the waves. The waves slammed on the sides of the battleship, making loud noises and splashing violently.
The commander of the Imperial Central and Biya Squadron, Kasti, stood on the bridge of an Imperial Dragon Tooth battleship, feeling thunder tremors coming from under his feet,
Boom...
The thunder gods roared in a row of volleys, like volcanoes gushing out, from the muzzles on both sides of the Dragon Tooth battleship, they flew into the air, passed through the water splashed by the shock wave on the ocean, and landed in the distance On the surface of the sea, there was a burst of sea-high water droplets. The seawater at the point of the explosion seemed to be dragged by the dispersive gap of the explosion, becoming more agitated and arrogant,
The waves in the South China Sea in winter are very unstable. They constantly impact on the side of the warship. As a result, the entire Longya warship is constantly undulating with the waves, which brings considerable impact to the Thor shooting on the side of the ship. Difficult, a stable target that is clearly aimed at, often due to the relationship between the waves and huge deviations
Kasti is now the commander of the Imperial Central Biya Squadron personally appointed by the emperor. The number of Dragon Tooth warships under his command has increased from seven or eight to twenty. Since the heavy damage to the Adenites in Qinglong Bay The naval fleet in the southern sea of Central Bialand, and the Imperial Central Bahia Squadron began to rapidly expand the control area to the large and small islands in the south. The most affected, naturally, the Adenites originally wanted to fully control Central Bialand. The sea, and the small fleets that spread out are the Aden pirates
Anyone near the Zhongbian Sea knows the relationship between the Aden pirates and the Aden navy. The two are actually a group. The Aden pirates are the means used by the Aden navy to monopolize maritime trade and combat competitors. The leaders of the Aden pirates were either the nobles of the Aden Kingdom or the real Aden navy officers. When the Aden Navy controlled the Central Biya Sea, these Aden pirates were naturally like a fish in water and lived quite moisturized. The regular Aden Navy wanted The looting also requires an acknowledgment, and these Aden pirates don’t need it. They only need to turn over half of the looted property to the Aden Navy, and the Aden Navy will not take care of them. Even if a victim reports to the Aden Navy, The Aden Navy will try its best to cover up this matter,
But now it is the Imperial Central Biya Navy Squadron that controls the Central Biahai Sea. The Aden Navy suffered heavy losses in Qinglong Bay. Not to mention the loss of warships, the loss of 80% of the transport ships is the deadliest. The Navy Without transport ships, it is impossible to go to sea at long distances. Even if the main force of the Aden Navy sent two more squadrons to join the Zhongbia Sea Squadron, it barely compensated for the loss of the squadron, but because of the extreme lack of transport ships, it was already I spent more than a month at the naval base of the Aden Navy on Kuloya Island,
At this time, the imperial navy began to sweep the Aden pirates entrenched in the waters of Central and Bahia.
"Order the teams to move closer and fire again within 300 meters!" Kartis said calmly, raising the observation mirror in his hand, and said to the adjutant behind him, through the round mirror of the observation mirror, you can see On the dark sea in front, there are small battleships of the Aden pirates everywhere. They are like densely packed flies, rushing frantically towards the 20 dragon-tooth battleships of the Biya Squadron in the empire. The number of Aden pirates is so large. , It’s the first time even Kartis saw it. If there is no arrangement in Aden, it’s impossible to be killed.
These Aden pirates, many of them are sailors of the Aden Navy. When the main navy forces are unable to fight, it is completely possible to send these pirates to attack the Imperial Navy fleet. Originally, the Imperial fleet was only going to sweep a nearby one. The island’s pirate stronghold, I didn’t expect a thunder **** to roar out, it was like stabbing a hornet’s nest, so many ran out, because there are too many, it is impossible to assess the number. Casti’s visual inspection is at least 200 or more. No one can be called a large battleship in terms of displacement
Boom...The imperial naval battleships have begun to fire platoons of guns intensively, like a sweeping gust of wind blowing up countless waves on the sea, and the falling artillery shells hit the spinnaker-type fast boats of the Aden pirates. , Suddenly a fierce fire broke out, and the light on the sea seemed to flash like red light because of this burst of light. Thor's powerful penetrating power penetrated the decks of these Aden sailing boats very sharply, in a group of dazzling fire lights. , Bursting enclave sawdust. There are also pirates of Aden who are screaming and being pushed into the air by air waves,
The billowing heat wave made the faces of the Aden pirates on the other sailing warships changed. The power of the Thor salvo of the Imperial Navy was like playing gophers with a huge hammer, and they were The poor gopher was so dizzy that he was knocked, and he had to bite the bullet and move forward
The fierce gunfire of the Dragon Tooth warship did not give them a chance to fight melee. The guns on the side seemed to be spitting melon seeds. The hits from meters away were not high, but when we entered 300 meters, the chance of hitting was a lot. The bulging sailing warships were blown up, even those explosions that did not hit, for the small sailing warships of the pirates. Is also a huge threat,
On this violently surging sea, any huge explosion will cause violent changes in the nearby waves, even triggering huge waves of more than three meters. The horn-sail fast boat owned by the Pirates of Aden is itself a kind of clippers whose deck height is reduced in pursuit of speed. In clear weather, the high maneuverability of this kind of clippers is a nightmare for any merchant fleet. But now in front of the huge artillery waves created by the imperial navy, the low and low sail clippers are like toys, swept and rolled by the surging waves,
The people above screamed and fell into the sea. Sometimes the entire ship capsized and all the people on the ship fell into the water. The sea waters along the coast of Galle are abnormally cold. Although there is no freezing in the Central Biya Sea in winter, the temperature is definitely not related to warmth. In the chaos, who would have the time and risk of being penetrated by the Imperial Dragon Tooth battleship to stop and rescue these poor pirates who fell into the water. Soon, countless wooden boards and frozen pirate corpses floated on the surface of the sea. , These corpses were squeezed and scattered by the sailing warships of other Aden pirates
"They only have 20 ships, and we have ten times as many as them! You can definitely cut them off if you rush up!"
The leaders of the pirates of Aden jumped angrily on the deck. Most of them were sturdy and brave. They were wearing semi-chain armor style robes. The toe caps on their heads were inlaid with red or blue rubies. They were violently violent when they saw the front pirate ship. The Thor’s artillery fire was submerged, and I suddenly became a little angry. The imperial navy is powerful, and it is not the first time they have experienced it.
But this time, they gathered the Aden pirates from the entire Central Bahrain waters together. There are more than 240 small and medium-sized sailing warships, and there are even two that originally belonged to the Aden Navy. Regular battleships, this is a special pre-remuneration offered by the Aden Navy. As long as they can severely damage the imperial navy in the Zhongbian Sea, the Aden Admiralty has agreed to not only give them ten main battleships, but also cancel the original payment to Aden. The half benefit provided by the navy,
With such conditions, even if they know that the Imperial Navy is a hard bone, the Aden pirates will have to take a bite.
I thought that the absolute advantage in quantity, coupled with the influence of the specially selected sea areas, could at least suppress the Imperial Navy. I didn’t expect that the start of the war would be such a shocking situation.
The flames spewing from the side of the Imperial Navy’s Longfang battleship, like sharp swords whizzing, pierced the fleet array of the Aden pirates’ self-righteous fleet, carrying thick black smoke like a meteor-like thunder bullet from The most protruding bow shot in, and then an earth-shattering explosion was emitted in the belly of the ship. The entire spinnaker-shaped fast boat issued a dazzling fire, and countless broken wood chips and incomplete pirate limbs scattered in the air, like a piece of blood. Rain hit the deck of the battleship one after another. Such a tragic scene is beyond normal people’s tolerance.
Two fast-speed Dragonfang battleships are like two razors pressed from both sides of the entire battlefield,
Boom, boom, boom... Thor from the side of the ship began to shoot, and aimed directly at the messy flanks of the Aden pirate fleet. The spinnaker-type fast ship that was directly hit disappeared, and there was only a piece of choking on the sea. The smoke of gunpowder, and a small whirlpool formed on the sea, one of the Dragon Tooth battleships was even swayed severely by the platoon fired by itself, and the mast also made a creaking sound. These two The imperial dragon tooth battleship that was too close immediately attracted the attention of most of the Aden pirate sailing battleships
"Come on!"
"Throw stones and hit their sails!"
The Aden pirates slammed their swords on the deck in a mess. The slings from the Aden pirate sailing ship also began to launch. The Aden’s slings hit the two ships at an angle of 60 degrees. Some fierce pirates are even ready to throw off the Dragon Tooth battleship, as long as the Dragon Tooth battleship enters enough progress, they are ready to hook the other side's ship
"My lord, the pirates are on the bait!" The adjutant exclaimed excitedly beside Casti. "The pirates would not have thought that the two Dragonfang battleships themselves were thrown out as bait, otherwise once these Aden pirates appeared The collapse, so many warships running around, can leave a small part of the sky, but now it is different, the people of Aden bite on the bait thrown away, completely unaware of the queue of the Imperial Navy warships. It is slowly changing. The horoscopes that used to be two lines in parallel have now become two razor-like diagonal lines. Rows of Thor cannons* have been lifted up by mistake, and they have turned neatly in the direction of the two Dragon Tooth battleships.
"Kill"
"Kill all the empires!"
The pirates of Aden looked at the imperial dragon tooth battleship that was approached, and yelled happily, and on the sides of the two dragon tooth battleships used as bait, dense sailing clippers leaned against the hooks of the sailing ship, It’s like a slap on the hard ship’s gunwale like rain
"Shoot!" In the gun compartment of the Longya battleship, the already hot shirtless shellers loaded a round of hinged rounds into the barrel and aimed them at the abdomen deck of the nearest sailing battleship. It is a fierce shot into the soul, rumbling! With a thunderous roar, the hinged bullets with steel **** tied at both ends are like rotating windmills, smashing into the abdomen of the sailing warship with a harsh whistling,
Papa, a terrifying explosion, the side deck of the hull directly swept a huge hole, and the gunners on the Dragon Tooth battleship could even see the staggered faces of the Aden pirates in the opposite hole. , The hammer made of steel slammed into the piles of these Aden pirates, like an egg beater, directly exploding the fragile human body and the supporting wood of the hull.
Many pirates of Aden have not yet understood what is going on, they have fallen into the cold water with splashes of blood,
Those pirates of Aden who climbed from the hook to the Dragon Tooth battleship were in a worse situation. When they happily crossed the side of the Dragon Tooth battleship, their bodies were shocked before they landed on the deck. I flew out with force, countless crescents burst out like stars, like a sickle that cut off the bodies of several pirates~ IndoMTL.com~ These lower bodies are still on the deck, and the upper body has already flown out of the ship’s side. The pirates of Aden, the eyes are stunned and desperate,
The other pirates who were still climbing stared blankly at their warrior's half body, which was nailed to the side deck of a sailing warship by a metal baton, not dead yet. The transparent human body, terribly and hideously twisted,
Attention, the imperial ballista, I don’t know who shouted, and the Aden pirates discovered that the metal long arrow that can penetrate the ship deck is a magnified version of the arrow cluster, and suddenly their eyes bulged.
Then they saw a large number of pirates who had just stepped on the deck, once again pushed directly over the ship’s rail by a huge force,
"What the hell, are the people above crazy!" The people below were yelling, and the pirates above jumped back with extreme fear, running slowly, and were hit by a cold light. The body screamed and fell down. At this moment, the pirates saw what the cold light was. It was a hatchet. Almost the entire face of the axe was shot into the body. Only the handle of the axe with blood was exposed. The pirates all shuddered, what on earth was on it that could throw this thing out
"Asshole, it's heavy infantry. The Imperial Navy used heavy infantry on battleships!" The leaders of the Aden pirates are going crazy. They are just pirates, not to mention heavy weapons, they don’t even have armor. They are at sea all year round. Diao, whoever used that thing, can put on a piece of leather armor is considered as excellent protection, but now, from their position, you can see it, I don’t know when, on the two imperial battleships, a group of people popped up densely. The heavy armored infantry who wears heavy armor and even puts down the helmet, the weapon in his hand is a huge long-handled axe. When swiped by one round, the pirates are almost like flying dogs, half of the body is touched. Was split,
