787 Sea Breeze (5)
Tiha, is an important and most dangerous fortress in the southern coastal area of Nord,
This magnificent building standing on the high mountains and ridges at the end of Mt. Morrisguet towers high into the clouds, staring at every inch of land nearby for more than a hundred miles.
In the relatively flat coastal areas, Tiha’s height determines its important position, especially Tiha Port, which is close to Tiha, is also the headquarters of the Nord Navy
From the very beginning of its establishment, Tiha decided that it was the focus of the battle on the coast of the Nord Sea. There were thousands or even tens of thousands of corpses left under the eleven-meter-high city wall.
This is the naval port where the Nord Navy’s First Fleet is located. It is also the station of the Third Army in the South. The dense array of military camps stretches from the cape to the **** in front of the fortress. Outside the wooden fence is a large area of records belonging to The fortress villages can be seen from the sloping thatch on the top of the village. These villages are still very backward. On the beach where the waves are floating, there are sparse fishing racks of fishermen.
On the coastal mouth near the eastern cliff, there are more than 60 warships of the Nord's First Fleet docked.
Their bare masts are like dense forests, and the huge hulls next to each other occasionally collide with each other. The huge waves roll and hit the stacked sides of the ship, making a squeezing creak.
"To be honest, this winter came too early! For the navy we just formed, it is really not a thing"
The commander of the 1st Fleet of the Nord Navy, the Marquis of Mossa Lancos was holding a glass of fuchsia rum, his eyes looked a little bored at the scene outside the window,
"Your Excellency Mozalancos is too worried. Under such waves, I believe that the Falcon Navy in the South Strait should not go to sea!"
Across from him sits a middle-aged man wearing the costume of a legionnaire, with a delicate golden collar with several star horns. This middle-aged man is the commander of the Second Southern Army Corps. Gomohan,
"Know yourself correctly to recognize the strength of your opponent!" Did the Marquis of Mozalancos smile bitterly, take a sip of the rum in his hand, and shook his head helplessly
"Compared with the experienced Falcon Navy, our navy is just getting started! What we can't do, doesn't mean that the Falcon Navy can't do it either!"
Mosalancos’s remarks made the pupils of Gomohan on the opposite side shrunk a bit. He looked surprised and said, “Do you think that the Falcon Navy will go to sea in such a bad situation? This is definitely not impossible, unless The opposing commander is crazy!"
"This is exactly what I am worried about!" The Marquis of Mozalancos smiled bitterly, his fingers gently turned the wine glass in his hand, focused on the purple wine in the water glass, and said with a solemn expression
"Our greatest enemy is not the navy of the Falcon Dynasty, but the familiar and strange ocean in front of us. Our ancestors came from the ocean, but we have never really understood the quality of the ocean.
No one has ever thought that this vast sea will one day become a battlefield that determines the fate of the kingdom. The cruel fact that the Salanders failed on the ocean has proved that those who ignore the ocean are destined to become losers. Any enemy of the Falcon Dynasty may be hit hard from the ocean
The powerful Falcon Navy has mastered the ability to transmit tens of thousands of well-equipped troops anytime and anywhere, that is, they can find attack points on the long coastline as they wish, and easily tear apart behind our weak. A gap,
He even went up the river, crossed all the blockades, and launched a fatal blow to the heart of the kingdom,
Such a crazy strategic idea, no one would think of it except a lunatic! In contrast, braving the risk of a storm just to find a front-line fighter to defeat the enemy is really too common"
"Are you suspecting that the Falcon Navy will take advantage of the storm to sneak attack?"
The analysis of the Marquis of Mozalancos made Gomohan's face a little difficult. He got up from his seat and looked a little dazed. He was a traditional army general, and he suddenly understood a new battlefield. It’s not an easy task
But there is one thing Gomohan knows, that is, if the Falcon Navy came in a storm, as the Marquis of Mozalancos analyzed, then the first strategic point they want to attack is definitely to garrison themselves. Tiha.
"Then your navy can't do anything about it?" Gomohan's eyes pierced to the Marquis of Mozalancos.
"Ki can't help it!" The Marquis of Mozalancos also helplessly spread his hands, his eyes turned to the distant sea, and his voice slowly said, "This storm completely disrupted our cruise plan. On the new battlefield of the ocean, we are all a group and the Falcon Navy has already completed the transition. They can now use their rich experience to complete our impossible strategic plan. The two sides are on an unequal platform from the beginning. At this point, you have to admire the foresight of the Vicia Falcon. This time, he has taken the lead again!"
"What do you mean by your impossible strategic plan?" Gomohan was stunned, wondering what the Marquis of Mossa Rancos was referring to.
"I don’t know, I just feel the cunning Falcon Navy, I shouldn’t miss such an opportunity!" The Marquis of Mossa Rancos sighed unknowingly, and looked at the blue sea beyond the ship.
The turbulent sea is undulating with white lines from time to time. The sky in the distance seems to converge with the sea to form a place, like an extension of the continent in front of you. Under this majestic and magnificent scenery, there are two kingdoms. The battle between iron and blood, the ocean has become an extension of the land,
And he didn't know, just 30 nautical miles away from his eyes, on the arc-like island chain of Ferran, the roar of the Falcon Navy’s main battleship Dragon-class battleship was rumbling
"You, it's still like that, no wonder even your subordinates despise you!" Hearing that the analysis just now was entirely an unprovoked guess by the Marquis of Moza Rancos, the next Gomohan shook his head dubiously,
He did this because the subordinates of the Marquis of Mossa Rancos all called the Marquis of Mossa Rancos "Gora" in Nordic, meaning white tiger! This is a beast that lives in the Nord Mountains, suspicious and extremely cunning
The skin of the Marquis of Mozalancos, who has the title of white tiger, is much whiter than that of ordinary people. His forehead can hardly have any eyebrows. The cheekbones on both sides are like water chestnuts on the castle, giving people a sense of beauty. This kind of capable and true feeling. Although a pair of eyes are very sharp, they are aiming at an unseen target in the distance like an arrow, but in an instant they turn to shoot near things
The warships of the Nord’s First Fleet under his command have been docked here for more than half a month. It is the most unsettling winter on the sea. The huge waves are enough to swallow most of the ships going to sea, but the most What he worries about is the slack of the navy soldiers. The storm has temporarily stranded the navy warship’s plan to go to sea. This is a very bad thing for the Nord Navy, which has just been formed for only two months.
Most of the sailors enlisted this time are from the infantry regiment. Many of the soldiers have just boarded the Shanghai ship. This is completely different from the ships in the river. The turbulence of the waves makes many soldiers feel seasick, and For all kinds of naval warfare skills, my eyes are blackened.
What these soldiers need most is to go to sea for training, so that they can learn the skills of maneuvering ships in the battle against the waves, instead of staying in the barracks to kill the boring time
"My lord. Something happened! At this moment, the door of the hall was pushed open from the outside by the guards. An officer covered in water, supported by the two guards, entered the hall very embarrassedly from outside the room, weak The body dragged a clear water mark on the ground,
Mosalancos recognized this officer as an officer of the Second Fleet, named Bergstein, who was an adjutant to the commander of the Second Fleet, Morley, and the Marquis of Mozalancos and Gomohan next to him were in a tacit understanding. Glancing at each other, both sides are shocked from each other's eyes. Is it really unfortunate that they are right?
"I'm Mossa Rancos of the First Fleet, tell me what's wrong, what happened to you!" The Marquis of Mossa Rancos walked forward anxiously, and helped Bergstein's shaky body from The opponent's clothes are dripping with sea water, and the traces of algae can be seen. This officer must have experienced a very terrible thing
"Your Excellency is the lord of the First Fleet!" The officer's spirit recovered a little after hearing Mossa Roncos's name, and there was a hint of expression on his pale face. He tightly held Mozalancos's thick jointed hand, and exhausted all his strength to say "Quickly, please send a fleet to rescue the second fleet immediately. The Falcon Navy raided Ferran~IndoMTL.com~ We were all blocked in the military port. It's here... Hurry up, go to the rescue... Otherwise, the Second Fleet will no longer exist..."
Perhaps because of being overly excited, perhaps because of seeing Mozalancos, the officer persevered and the willpower was finally unable to continue
The voice of the officer who risked his death to report the letter became more and more. Before he could finish his sentence, he was dizzy. Moza Loncos hurriedly asked him to help him down and ordered him to find the best doctor immediately.
Sending off the officer, Mozalancos hurriedly walked to the wall behind him, sliding his finger on the rude chart on the wall, and finally fixed it on a point,
"Second Fleet? Ferran!" Moza Loncos's face suddenly became difficult
"What's the matter?" Gomohan asked somewhat unexpectedly. The Ferran Island chain is only 50 miles away. If it can be reached by 3 more now, why are you still hesitating here? If you feel that the troops are insufficient, I can allocate 5,000 soldiers to board your warship!"
"No, I think the Falcon fleet's raid on Ferran is more like a bait to lure us! Their target should be Tiha." The Marquis of Moza Rancos shook his head hesitantly,
