1913 Who is the Bait (4)

Putao coast, Huacheng Island

The fat man is standing on a cliff by the sea, looking at the sea from the coast to the top of the inner bend five miles to the north, the Putao Sea with the blue waves rolling in spring, the islands that are dense like jewels in the blue water, the sun on the sea surface is extraordinarily beautiful, like a slender line sprinkled on the quiet sea, embroidered with a layer of faint golden light with the undulations of the waves,

Three months ago, the empire began a large-scale reconstruction of Huacheng Port, after the expansion of Huacheng Island, twice the size of the original, the docking points in four directions are close to the concave edge for expansion, the regular docks along the coastline discharge a beautiful arc, eight docking points expanded to eighteen,

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Imperial Navy is going to turn the entire Huacheng Island into a huge dock.

This move not only shook the Putau, but also deeply shook the Inland Sea region, the imperial merchant fleet poured into the major ports like locusts, and in just a few months, it exceeded 4,000 ships, which accounted for almost one-third of the total number of merchant fleets of the countries in the Inland Sea region, the domineering spirit of the Northern Falcon Empire shocked the entire Inland Sea, and the Empire's influence on the Inland Sea rose sharply, and finally forced the Strants to turn their faces in advance, "Your Majesty, Duke Putao asks to see!" A guard came over from behind to report, "Duke Putao, what is he doing here?" The fat man turned around with some surprise, just in time to see the radiant Duke of Putao getting down from a gorgeous golden carriage, and hurriedly walking to this side, today's Duke Putao is already a different from what it used to be, the little duke who was angry everywhere at the beginning, is now also a real duke worthy of the name of the power shock side, if it is convenient to take the imperial smuggling, the Duke of Putao is now a small territory, but his status is extraordinary, and the value of goods transported from this area every day is more than one million gold coins, and the influence of the Putao region is rising,

The Putau region has been called the land of gold by the rest of Central Europe and the Barro, and the merchants believe that it is full of gold. As long as the goods are transported, you can make a fortune, especially the goods here are mostly smuggled.

The falcons in the north, the Faeser in the south, and the various controlled materials in the east and Central Bia in the east are not restricted here, as long as they are willing to pay and do not violate the forbidden goods of the imperial army, the smugglers will not ask what the identity of the other party is. The luxurious and mysterious golden silk and jade silk of the Central Bia region, the sharp and sharp sword of the Iranian people, and some treasures whose names are not even known, this place is a paradise for the royal family and nobles from all over the world.

Although the Falcon Empire has extremely bad diplomatic relations with the Central European and Barrow countries, it has always upheld fairness in commercial and trade relations, and as long as you don't violate the laws of the Empire, the Imperial Army will turn a blind eye to you, but no matter who it is. In order to safely transport goods from here to Guò, the Duke's Palace of Putao is an important part of the past that cannot be avoided, and in such an environment, the Duke of Putao has not yet become a regional king. But among the nobility of various countries, it seems to be already a surviving place alongside the monarchs of other regions of Central Europe and Barrow

"Majesty!"

Duke Putao knelt down on one knee in front of the fat man with a respectful expression, bowed his head and saluted,

Although I have met many times. The Duke of Putao, who was in infinite scenery outside, saw the fat man like a mouse seeing a cat, and he knew it very well. The scenery of Putao is because there is a huge empire's trade line standing behind it, and without the empire's cloudy merchant ships and huge influence, the Putao region is just an obscure small area.

"I heard that you have been busy marrying the young lady of the Lu family recently, how can you be in the mood to come over?" The fat man's eyes swept over, and he smiled teasingly, "If I remember correctly, this should be your fifth wife, in less than a year, marrying five wives in a row, you are definitely the first among the Dukes of Putao in the past dynasties!"

"This is the need of unity, and there is really no way to do it!"

The corner of Duke Putao's mouth smiled slightly, his identity is up now, and there are more of those wealthy families who come to stammer, in order to stabilize his duke position and strive to be able to move towards the throne as soon as possible, it is necessary to digest the forces under the joint command through guò marriage,

"Get up, what's the matter with you?" The fat man was deeply touched by this, and raised his hand to him, "My subordinates want to ask, what is Your Majesty going to do with the sin of the Papley family?" The Papley family has influence in Putao and even in the whole of Central Europe, and is also a vassal of the Burrows family, I sent him back to the Gangfei side, who knew that the other party would refuse to accept it!

The fat man tilted his head, "It's a very good young man, ambitious, idealistic, if it weren't for us fighting Gangfei, I might choose to let him go!"

"Your Majesty wants to release him?"

When Duke Putao heard the fat man's thoughts, he was immediately startled, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this person must not be released, as soon as he is released, the whole Putao will be in chaos!

"Directly executed?" The corners of the fat man's eyes narrowed into a line slightly, "I heard that the Burrows family has a lot to do with your Duke's Palace, and your current attitude is very incomprehensible" "The relationship is not shallow?" When Duke Putao heard this, his face couldn't cry or laugh, and he responded, "The relationship in His Majesty's mouth should be a hostile relationship!" One is the top wealthy family in the mainland, the most powerful era once controlled the government of several kingdoms, the other is the small duke of the region, the monarch is at the bottom of the ranking, compared with the two, these nobles have a sense of identity with the Burrows family, a wealthy family on the mainland, obviously more than a small duke in the region like me, at the beginning, he just wanted to annex the Putao, as one of the envoys of the Burrows family, Paplisoda, just played the banner of the Burrows family, and quickly won the hearts of the noble elite, and I am a dignified Duke of Putao, but I don't even have a follower who can be seen in the past, compared with the two sides, it is not difficult to see that my Duke's palace is full of vigilance against the Papli family“

The fat man waved his hand and said, "Hehe, forget it, sue you, that criminal was kidnapped halfway and fled into Gangfei, but Gangfei sent people back, and in two days, the escort convoy will return to Lisbonto, and then I will hand over the people to you." After all, he is still a nobleman in your Putao region, and his life and death decisions are up to you!"

"I see, I see!"

Duke Putao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he raised his head excitedly, he was a very smart person, how could he not see that the empire was obviously trying to frame the Gangfei Empire, but the one from the Papli family who fled into Gangfei was also forcibly sent back by Gangfeiren, and knew that the Gangfei Empire resolutely did not accept this planting,

Majesty left the decision of this person's life and death to himself, and the meaning here is too precious. The relationship between himself and the Burrows family is very poor, the result of this person falling into his own hands can be imagined, and he can also use the influence of the execution of this person to deter those who still think that the Burrows family is more worthy of investment than themselves, those nobles are as good as monkeys, and behind them is the falcon majesty, and the Burrows family is already a rootless duckweed in the waning mountains, in such a wind, whether to choose to be loyal to the Burrows family or to themselves. It's already unmistakable.

With some joy, the Duke of Putau boarded the carriage and went straight to Lisbento.

Watch the shadow of Duke Putau's carriage disappear into the distance. The fat man turned around and asked, "Is there any news of the front-line fleet?"

"The message sent back by the fleet a day ago said that Kulo had been captured, judging by the time. The fleet should also arrive at the port of Valenya!" replied an Admiralty officer standing behind, with a cautious expression,

"Port of Valenya, so fast!"

The fat man's face was slightly stunned. The Imperial fleet swept across the southern coast of Gangfei, and sure enough, as expected, the Strand Navy, as a fierce enemy, did not appear, and the battle went smoothly beyond imagination.

The port of Valenya is less than 200 nautical miles away from the last port, under normal circumstances, within three days, the main force of the imperial fleet will arrive at the port of Vasili set up by the Aliens, the fleet of the Alien Sea Country, it should feel that the victory is in hand!, but unfortunately, who is the fish and who is the bait? I'm afraid that by the time the other party reacts, a qiē is already a foregone conclusion, if the Imperial Navy is a powerful bow and arrow on the southern coast of Gangfei, then the real decision is the most unexpected dark arrow, the fat man's eyes are full of electric light, like a thunderbolt sweeping through the sky before a storm is coming, looking at the sea in the distance, it seems to be searching for something, the sea breeze in the high place blows his black hair

He snapped out to the Admiralty officer behind him, "Summons Dustrenke, after arriving in Valenya, the decoy plan can be implemented!" "Yes, Your Majesty!" replied the Admiralty officer with an excited expression

Just off the southern coast

The battle in the port of Valenya has entered a white-hot stage, the scattered advance of the imperial crossbowmen squeezes the front line of the Congo non-infantry, fortunately, the temporary extension of the wooden wall blocks a lot of incoming arrows for the Gangfei, and the longbow troops under the command of Fabugares, the commander of the eleventh step corps in the south of Ganga, also play a big role, these longbow shooters recruited by Fabugarez from his hometown are a thousand people, which is not good at bravery, but the good archery skills practiced by hunting in the mountains all year round have also begun to make the crossbowmen of the Falcon Empire pay casualties," Order the fleet to stop the bombardment, and the forward troops to withdraw to the safe area of the harbor! Dustrengke glanced up at the sky, it was already afternoon, he gave an order to ask the troops to withdraw, and after detecting the combat intentions of the Aliens, it was unwise to continue to order the use of Thor to pave the way, "My lord, why did you stop?" The pirate leader Amu came from the deck with an eager face, "We have broken the enemy's first line of defense, and according to the tactics of layering, we can always fight under the opponent's fortress!" "Don't you see that?" The other party is stalling for time, they are waiting for dark!" Dustrenkai casually picked a reason, and said with a gloomy face, "Our landing force has only 3,000 soldiers, and what they need to face is a 10,000-strong army based on the defense of the mountain, even if they can really push all the way to the enemy's stronghold, what will they do at night?, if the other party takes advantage of the night to launch a counterattack, the landing force of 3,000, and also drags the heavy Thor, will there be a few people back at that time? Hey, alas!"

The pirate leader Amu shook his head gloomily, those who didn't know thought that he was sorry for the disadvantage of the fleet's attack, and those who knew knew that it was a pity for not consuming more Thor bullets, he had already observed that the total number of Thor in the Falcon Empire's fleet was about 2,000,

This is a terrible destruction force, a salvo, it is estimated that it can destroy a small half of the city, if it is an engagement at sea, the long-range strike force of the Falcon Imperial Navy is enough to wipe out most of the enemy ships at a distance of 400 meters, which is also the most terrifying place for the Falcon Imperial Navy. But the consumption brought by the two thousand gates of Thor is also equally amazing, as the fleet continues to go north, the supply line is rapidly lengthened, and the transport fleet returns to Putao from here, and then returns to the fleet from Putao, it takes at least 7 days to come and go.

That is to say, during these seven days, the Thor ammunition on the Falcon Empire battleship was in a state of no replenishment, once it was empty. will completely lose the ability to suppress long-range, and in the evening, Amu saw that the transport fleet behind the main fleet began to turn and disappeared in the direction of Gibro Seaway, "Opportunity, finally here!"

Amu held the side of the ship with his hand, his eyes flickered, and now the fleet of the Falcon Empire belongs to the kind of situation where one shot is less than one point, and what he has to do. It is to let the fleet of the Falcon Empire consume as many Thor bullets as possible during the seven days that the transport ship leaves, "What should I do? It would be nice if the people were able to launch a large-scale charge, although it would kill people." But at least it consumes a lot of Thor bullets!" Amu couldn't help but think evilly in his heart, he was a Stranger, and he had no mercy for how much Gangfei people would die, in fact, as the pirate king of Gibraltar. There are many inhuman souls under his sword,

Many of the pirates in the Inland Sea are Strangers, which is a top secret of the Alien Navy. The territory of the sea country is the sea, but the Alien navy cannot really control the entire sea area, so it is a good choice to let some elites in the navy dress up as pirates to control the sea area, and Yamu is obviously the best among these elites.

At the age of twenty-one, he stepped down as the captain of the Haiguo, instead of the Haiguo sitting in the Gibro Seaway, more than ten years of hard work, under the help of the Haiguo, under the help of the Haiguo, he gathered thousands of thieves and dozens of warships, and he could also rank in the top three in the Inland Sea pirates, but this time, for the sake of the Haiguo, he did not hesitate to choose to give up his efforts for more than ten years, because this is the battle of life and death of the Haiguo, as a soldier of the Haiguo, he knows that if the Haiguo is defeated, without the support of the Haiguo fleet, he, the pirate king of Gibra, will be easily wiped out by the navies of other countries。

The next day, the Falcon Empire's naval fleet again launched an artillery bombardment on the 11th Gang Fei Corps in the early morning, but because the distance was too far to achieve much success, Dustrenkai once again asked the fleet to stop the attack and the landing force to build fortifications.

And on the other side, there is a trend of increasing the number of Gangfei Army, "Bastard, it's Gangfei reinforcements!"

Through the lookout glasses in his hand, Dustrenkai saw the Gangfei infantry in the distance in a thicker array, yesterday it was only the infantry, today he saw the cavalry, equipped with spears and close shields, wearing red light armor, The red cloaks, and even the streamers on the top of their peaked helmets were cherry red, waving in the wind, like a red cloud floating on the mountain, and above this red cloud were dense spears, and the snow luster flickered in the deep mist, as if adding a glowing river to the earth. "It's the Fourth Cavalry Regiment of the Southern Army, their station is less than 70 miles away from here, they should have come overnight!"

The pirate leader's voice was a little imperceptible excited, it was really a wish, he was still thinking about how to consume the ammunition of the Falcon Navy, and he sent additional reinforcements to the Fourth Cavalry Regiment of the Southern Army, which was a cavalry unit with 7,000 people, this was a unit with brilliant achievements and meritorious deeds, and it had always been the ace force of the Gangfei Empire guarding the southern region,

'Is the opponent preparing to attack?'

Dustronik frowned slightly through the lookout glass, the opposing cavalry troops were gathering, a cavalry general in red armor ran in front of the cavalry in the array like a military parade, and in the section where he ran, the Gangfei cavalry began to pour down like a torrent, and rushed straight to the landing force at the port position from three directions, "Attack!" The Gangfei cavalry shouted loudly, overwhelming the mountains and seas, and the momentum was amazing: "Stupid!"

Dustronike's lips trembled, and in the face of the two thousand Thor of the entire imperial fleet, the cavalry commander of the opposing party was no longer brave, but extremely stupid, "Shoot!"

Barely waiting for the order of the flagship, for the extremely arrogant Gangfei cavalry, the Thor of the Imperial fleet, a salvo had already been launched

Boom! The continuous sound of the whole piece showed the power that made the heavens and the earth boil in an instant, and the whole white smoke sprayed out from the muzzles of the open baffles on the side of the battleship, and gathered into a symphony of high excitement.

Countless white lines across the sea flew towards the cavalry cluster like hail with a piercing whistling sound, and the "boom" continued to explode, showing a scene like the sky collapsing and the sea boiling.

The commander of the Gang Fei cavalry who led the charge did not even know what was happening, and was directly covered by the thunder bullets that fell like a torrential rain overhead, and he was immediately shattered.

When Thor's shelling stopped, at least more than 3,000 Gangfei cavalry turned into minced meat,

The blood of the big beach is like a huge red carpet that has been sprinkled, like a huge fan distributed within 100 meters of the port (to be continued......
