Power and Empire: The Six Hundred Visa Wars (4)
6oo Visa War (4)
The northwestern season of Salander in spring is beautiful and magnificent. The turquoise blue shakes the white clouds in the sky, and the surging waves roll and foam, which looks like a white line leaping forward from a distance. , 17 Longya battleships, mixed with dozens of huge merchant ships... Sailing in wind and waves on the magnificent Northwest Sea, the fierce sea breeze swept across the deck and sprayed out positions.
It’s April ★It’s a refreshing day. There are not many uploads to and from the northwestern part of Salander, but they are at the peak of the trade union] April to July of this year, it’s the quiet part of the northwestern part of the year. In the season of China, the crossing trade ships will choose this time to transport those particularly valuable commodities in order to maximize profits.
For example, ivory, gold, emerald and spices from the depths of Yida 6, diamonds and agates from the southern part of Messalander, red corals and pearls from the South Seas, the value of the goods carried by each merchant ship is basically They are all over 10,000 gold coins. However, despite the explosion of the Visa War, many merchant ship owners who crossed the Northwest Sea began to feel that they were no longer escorted by the ships of the commercial alliance or the Hulin navy fleet. /
Instead, the Vijaya Naval Fleet, flying a brand new red falcon flag, politely and loyally protected the southern side of the Northwestern Hall from any attack that might come from Sarand Kyoto.
Of course, many of the merchant ship owners have also noticed that ⌒A Vekia naval fleet flying various naval fleet flags is slowly bypassing the north side and heading westward, the admiral flying on the high mast. The flags, except for some recognizable identities of the Vijaya naval fleet: other semi-**demon flags and pink piggy flags, which made many self-confessed and well-informed captains also stared at it.
After sailing along the offshore for half a month in Hengshang, Dustellenkai’s privateer fleet quietly approached the most important port in the Northwest, the northwest that has been used as the base camp by the Salander Kyoto Fleet. Leg Harbor,
Seventeen dragon-tooth warships quietly invaded the outskirts of Glen Harbor, like ghosts.
The long hull is lined up diagonally, posing a provocative posture. It is a pity that the reaction from the Kyoto navy made these Captain Vicias who were about to carry out the massacre swear their mothers, and they are now under siege. The port was the Vijaya Navy after the Megatron, and the Sarand Kyoto Navy chose to resist the port. Don’t tell me to fight, and calmly bake it, that is, there is not even a small sampan
The sturdy and agile lookout posts of the privateer fleet stand on high masts, holding long-distance binoculars, and inspecting the exit of the quiet port on the opposite side to see if there are any targets." Except for some small merchant ships coming and going. And the little fishing boats, the battleships of the Kyoto Navy were gone.
"These little tortoises shrunk their heads."
In the flagship command room. Dusterenkai had to say a little depressed, not wearing a military uniform, only a white shirt, lying on the table and looking at Hangzhou in the northwest with a magnifying glass.
It’s not that the Northwest Sea’s weather is very gripped, or there are too many reefs, but because the Northwest has a lot of small islands that protrude from the water surface from time to time, these small islands are the biggest feature of the Northwest Sea. Richeng is a good place for sightseeing, and almost every island has fascinating scenery.
But for the navy fleet♀The dotted islands are not a good thing, because they are good hiding places. Any fleet can be hidden among those islands unconsciously, which is great for searching For their people, of course it is a headache.
The navy of the Kingdom of Saranda is not weak. It has more than 30 large warships with four masts and dozens of small and medium ground auxiliary warships. The total number of warships is not under 80.
The commander of the Salander navy is the Duke of Media. It is said that he is the biological brother of the Sultan of Salander, but there is no evidence. In terms of behavior, it is almost different. Sultan Salander obviously likes the duke very much. Even though he has suffered the fiasco of China Southern Airlines, he still wants to be the Minister of the Admiralty.
"It's boring." Dusterenkai stretched out, stood up, twisted his sore neck, and said tiredly to the adjutant Junxiu next to him, "A dignified navy hides quietly, leaving the enemy at home. The rampage at the door is nothing short of a shame"
"The Salander navy should be trying to avoid us and preserve its strength." Adjutant Elek replied with a dignified expression." Since the Nanhang War, the navies of these kingdoms seem to know the number. It has become an advantage that suppresses our Vijaya Navy. Now that they are doing this, it is obvious that they can rely on the defensive facilities of the port to wait for reinforcements."
"Hehe, what you said is right. Of course, Dusterenkai understands his thoughts and speaks softly." However, he thought too simple, the mouse can't get out of the hole, can't we use smoke to smoke Right?"
"What do you mean by the commander?" Adjutant Elek stunned, and looked at Dustrum Kai with some hesitation.
"Attack the port directly and drive these mice out of it." Dusterenkai snorted disdainfully, and said with a sneer, his eyes slowly condensed on the port of Glyn not far away, and his face was a bit gloomy. It's uncertain.
"Is this a bit risky? The Grand Duke did not let me attack the port," Adjutant Elek said cautiously. "Moreover, on the two wing hills at the entrance of Gleneagles, there are 2 temporary trebuchets on top. There is a heavy trebuchet. If we enter without authorization, we are afraid that we will fall into the grip of the two wings."
"Hehe, the Grand Duke’s order is to destroy the Kyoto Navy at all costs, but it didn’t say that the port cannot be attacked." Dusterenkai looked indifferent, as if to comply with Dusterenkai's determination, the original northeast wind unexpectedly Suddenly it turned to the southeast wind,
The Dragonfang battleship of the privateer fleet pulled up its sails and flew forward. Originally, the fleet was only ten nautical miles away from Gleneagles, in a favorable situation. In less than an hour, in the evening of the same day, the Port of Gelei was already in sight. At almost the same moment, the hurried whistle of the lookout post came, and at the same time the semaphore of the enemy fleet was hurriedly waved.
"Go forward and get ready to fight." Dusterenkai calmly issued an emergency order.
Vickia Naval Earth Dragon Fang battleships all dropped their sails. Reduce the degree, and then start to line up into a battle formation. Almost at the same moment,
The sailors also started the tense and methodical preparation work. The gun muzzle was opened from the side, and Thor's shells began to be transported from the magazine to the side of the cannon.
The newly installed rangefinder on the ship began to work to measure the distance to the target] The captains of the warship began to board the middle and high parts of the mast, using binoculars to observe the enemy’s position, while waiting for orders from the flagship.
Look through the telescope. All the main forces of the Kyoto Navy, including more than 20 large warships and more than 30 auxiliary warships, are all lined up outside the port, ready to respond to the attack by the Vijaya Navy.
In the narrow harbor. There were also more than ten battleships of the Salander Navy, large and small, densely packed with high-altitude masts. All the battleships were facing the outside of the port. The trebuchets on the sides of the ships were already opened and ready to be launched at any time. s If the Govicia fleet hits head-on. Surely it will suffer an overwhelming bombing rain, and the seventeen Dragon Tooth warships may have to be reimbursed for a fraction of the time.
"This Midea still seems to have a set, but he still underestimated us." Dusterenkai said calmly, and gave orders for the ships to prepare for battle.
"Shooting" the waves rolled, the entire privateer fleet made a slight bend in the breeze, and the same lined up in a line, one after another, with the side of the Dragon Tooth facing the port of Glei. ,
The gunners loaded the cannonball into the cannonball, and then adjusted the angle of the cannon according to the approximate distance provided by the rudimentary rangefinder.♀Some rangefinders have become the tools that gunners rely on most, although most people still don’t Understand its principle and function, but several extremely effective actual battles have conquered the hearts of these sturdy navy soldiers.
"Woohoo", the heavy trebuchets on the two wings of Grameen Harbor, which have been waiting for a long time, took the lead in attacking. Those big guys with an average weight of more than one meal are like huge giants spread out in a row, with their strong and powerful arms. , Throwing huge stones to the sky of Ye,
The momentum is extraordinary, not only the sound is earth-shattering, it is deafening, huge stones fly over the oven, and land on the oven about two to three hundred meters away from the Vikia privateer fleet~IndoMTL.com~ crashing on and down, stirring up There was a spray of water more than ten meters high, and then it blew up and floated the bodies of countless small yellow croakers. The fish production near Glei is also well-known. Unexpectedly, they have also become victims of the war.
A trebuchet with a range of less than 3oo meters, but it works well for frying fish. "
Du Stellenkai raised his binoculars, carefully observed the enemy's movements, and said casually with a hint of irony.
Of course, he also understands that if he hadn’t ordered the ship to stop himself, the distance of 300 meters alone would be enough to cause incalculable damage to the smaller Dragon Tooth ship. The power of the voyage should not be underestimated, as long as two or three throws can blow a Dragon Tooth battleship to pieces.
The only thing that Midea relied on was the trebuchets on these trebuchets, and the tactics he developed to wait for work were probably carried out around the trebuchets.
"The enemy's turret, 410 meters; the enemy fleet, 23 Strunke, said briefly "Order the fleet to attack"...
