Power and Empire Chapter 724: War in the South (2)
724 War in the South (2)
Baozi sincerely thank you: I baited 1 evaluation vote,
The moon is black and the stars are sinking, and the faint moonlight shines on the beach through the white mist like thin sand.
There is no shadow of a ship on the sea, or even a trace of microwaves. The surface of the sea is peaceful, except for the sound of waves fluctuating up and down with the wind,
The change of the sea surface came from the latter half of the night. First, a lone black spot appeared on the sea facing the moonlight. It swayed from side to side. Then there were a dozen or hundreds of them. These silhouettes reflected in the gleam of light followed The rising moon showed a silvery reflection, and the rushing water waves pushed up the bank with the wind. Under the silver moonlight, it looked like a layer of floating white snow.
The southern governor, Statunko, stood on the bow of the ship with a pale face facing the waves, the turbulent sea breeze was blowing his hair, and the cold water wet the trouser legs of his uniform,
His deep gaze, looking at the coastline getting closer and closer,
"This adult is really strong"
The sailors on the ship’s board all looked at Statunko’s back with an admiring look. He had seen a seasick ship, but never seen a seasick ship standing on the bow of the ship against wind and waves.
The governor is indeed strange enough. He used his tenacity to face the ups and downs of the bow, which is far more terrifying than the fluctuation of the ship's side. It is a place where experienced sailors may not be able to stand firm, but he is a powerful man. , But only tied a thick rope around his waist and stumbled on it,
Although it seems very stupid, for the thousands of seasick soldiers who have never been out to sea and threw up on the ship, there is nothing more cheering for them. If the Governor can be unafraid Ocean, so it can be,
Statunko’s unreasonable behavior made many soldiers who suffered from seasickness when crossing the strait once again plucked up the courage to set foot on the hell-like boat board for them
Because of the limited number, only 18,000 soldiers from the Southern Army were dispatched this time. Naturally, the mobilized were the elite of the Southern Army. Any reduction in the number of troops in the middle would seriously affect the strength of this raid.
Starting from the southern naval port of Vikia, heading south along the east coastline, after a short stop and supply at Vic Harbor, quickly traversed through the high winds and waves under the guidance of Dustellenkai’s privateer fleet. Bosa sea area,
After 4 days of turbulence, I finally saw the destination, Bosari Bay. A turbulent vomiting made Statunko’s hands clenched the gangway of the bow heavily. The huge wave made The bow heaved heavily, and then threw it up like a toy in the hands of a child,
Countless lights projected from the cabin behind the waves, like a group of fireflies in the dark following the flagship. nG. The tall warship Sombra silently advances on the sea,
The eighty large and small warships seized from the Salander Naval Dock are the main force of this raid. The relatively small dragon-tooth ships on the periphery of the warship group are like wolves in the night, divided into The four triangles at the front and back protect the middle ship group, and the heavy bow splits the waves in front of you, swaying waves of white on the silent sea.
"Commander, did you say that Master Statunko is crazy, this reef-filled beach is worthy of attention, and you have to drive overnight." On the foremost Spike, Adjutant Ai Lake asked with some curiosity in a low voice, the commander of the first privateer fleet standing next to Dustronkai
"You ask me, who am I asking?" Dusterenkai rolled his eyes back, tapped his hand lightly on the ship's side, and said calmly, "You know, this time the Southern Army is so impatient to go south. , It must be related to Sarand Kyoto’s fierce offensive against the Northern Territory. If I didn’t guess, this tidal flat must have played a crucial role in the entire battle."
"I heard that the Salander Kyoto Army was fighting very fiercely this time." Adjutant Elek said with a sudden look on his face." "First broke through the Beleng line of defense, and then surrounded the important town of Kuronze. From the current battle situation. It didn’t take long for the fronts of the Kyoto Army to reach Hutubeen, but according to the truth, the Confederate Army of Lord Statunko, who was in charge of the rescue, should land ashore under Vic’s leadership, and then rush to help Kuronze quickly. Now it's actually bypassing the front line that is in urgent need of rescue, and running to this wasteland beach is considered a thing. Is it to rest behind the scenes? When necessary to fight the Kyoto Army by surprise? "
"It's hard to say. I heard that Master Statunko was also a warrior, but he was later entrusted by his Majesty to guard the south, so he rarely has the name of bravery."
Du Stellenkai said with a melancholy face. Every time he said the word bravery, he always had this expression. As an outstanding naval general, he never had the opportunity to fight the enemy at close range once. It’s really a shameful mention,
"Pop." At this time, there was news that a battleship had hit an offshore reef. Dusterenkai and his adjutant Elek rushed to the bow and saw a five-mast battleship that had deviated from the main fleet. The turbulent waves washed up on a reef that had just emerged from the sea,
The entire bow of the ship was dented inward, revealing a large gap, and the white water pours in, but after a while, the stern slowly rises due to the weight imbalance. The sailors and soldiers thumped and jumped into the sea
Fortunately, the sea is still calm tonight. Most of the 700 soldiers on this battleship were rescued by nearby ships, but there were still dozens of people sinking into the sea or being washed away by the sea. Gone
The ships were full of soldiers and sailors watching the excitement, and there was a low voice like Enen’s flies. The chaos just now also attracted Statunko’s attention, and he looked at it with piercing eyes. I looked at the soldiers around, especially when I saw some soldiers who were whispering to make his eyebrows twisted together, and there was a dead person before going ashore. This is not a good omen.
"Order the fleet to stop, and all ships send boats to land"
Standing at the bow of the turbulent waves, Statunko decisively gave the order to land,
It’s only about 50 meters away from the coast in front. In such a shallow sea, if you keep going on your own way, there will inevitably be more occurrences of hitting the reef. This assault is a courageous effort. If you can’t Achieving the most direct results will cause an irreparable damage to the military's mind. Now only immediately landing and occupying the beaches can make up
As the order is issued, the advancing fleet slowly stops like a floating wall,
Countless landing boats were dropped from the sides of the battleships. The number was very large. The dense black shadows immediately covered the entire beach. In order to be able to sail into the inland river of Salander, this time every battleship was carried Carry 2 times of the boat
The faint moonlight surrounds the top of the tree on the high **** of the cliff with a lace, which is like a color-changing spiral on the edge of a wine glass. People can't help but feel the beauty of the moonlight.
Statunko was sitting on a small boat and washed ashore with the waves. Soldiers gathered everywhere. The raised torches illuminated the entire beach. He quickly ordered a quartermaster in charge of logistics. He pointed to a protruding part of the beach extending outwards and asked how much it would take to build a pier that can dock with medium-sized warships.
This quartermaster who has never built an emergency dock before, looked at the place pointed by the Governor, hesitated for a long time, and then replied extremely nervously, "If there are enough materials and manpower, three days should be fine. "
The quartermaster’s answer made Statunko extremely dissatisfied. Tens of thousands of troops lingered on a narrow beach for three days. No matter how secretive a raid was, it would have been exposed to the enemy’s eyes for a long time.
Now a large number of weapons and equipment are still on the battleship. If they can’t be transported down quickly, I’m afraid it will cause irreparable consequences for the assault.
"Three days are too long, up to noon. If I can't see a dock where ships can stop there at noon, you can wait to be executed," Statunko said to the quartermaster with a cold face,
His order made the quartermaster's face pale. It is now approaching dawn. It is impossible to build a dock in half a day.
"My lord, let me do this." Just as the quartermaster smashed his head on the ground, Dusterenkai, who came ashore behind him, walked and said, "It is unrealistic to build a pier in half a day, but It’s easy to handle if you just want to transport it off the ship."
"Oh, do you think there is a way?"
Statunko looked back with a look of surprise. Although he is now in charge of southern naval affairs, he doesn’t know much about this privateer fleet directly under His Majesty Falcon.
It's just a fleet similar to bandit tactics. As for the privateer fleet to annihilate the main force of the Salander navy and defeat the Nordic forces in the South China Sea, because of their different affiliations, Statunko, the inland governor Not
Because the opponent is obedient and fat, it is difficult to distinguish the identity and rank of the opponent. Statunko, who was born in the army, still has some grudges about the navy in his heart
"Just use the one-hundred-meter rope on the battleship to build a connection point with the beach"
Du Stellenkai stretched out his hands, one long and one short gesture, "The battleship is tall and the beach area is low~IndoMTL.com~ Bundle the materials that need to be transported together, and then use the hook to slide all the way from the rope. It’s fine to get down. This saves effort and doesn’t occupy the ship that transports soldiers. At noon, all the supplies and soldiers can be transported down."
"Well, just do what you said and need help. Just say that as long as you can succeed, the first result of this battle will be yours"
The Statuen subject looked at Dusterenkai a few times brightly. After asking for a few details, he learned that Dusterenkai was from the Falcons family, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. Look, it’s no wonder that this person’s thinking is so extraordinary, he and his Majesty come from the same blood
At noon, 18,000 heavily armed Southern forces boarded 1,300 small boats, entered the Salander Inner Channel from the Boshan Inner Bend, and drove in the direction of Salander Kyoto, and Kyoto The main force of the army is still ignorant. The fierce fighting in Kulongze, which is three hundred miles away, the Libra of the war, after a slight fluctuation, quickly tilted down in the direction of the Falcon Dynasty.
