499 First Nord naval battle (1)
Duströnkai held the side of the battleship in his hand, his eyes swept sharply across the battlering sea in the distance, and his two eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan character on his forehead, at his side,
Dozens of Vekia Navy warships are like a huge writhing dragon quietly undulating with the waves on the sea.
"Squeak" white splash foam wandering between the cruising hull and the reef, all the warships have lowered their sails, completely relying on the current under the sea surface to move forward with the waves, the crisp sound of the reef squeezing the hull comes from the bottom of the hull from time to time, the sharp and piercing friction sound makes everyone's nerves tense to the top, if it is not for personal experience, who will guide the West Sea Devil's Horn, which is called the Death Domain, and there is an inner curved channel that is more than ten miles long.
The reef here is worthy of the name of Devil's Point, a large area of red coral reefs, like a pair of huge claws that may stretch out of the sea at any time, flickering under the dark red sea, and from time to time you can see the gray-white wreckage of the wreck, peeking out from these giant hands, making the crew of Vekia feel a suffocating tension from the inside
"This place is too narrow, probably only the West Sea pirates who live here have the courage to cross here" Dustrenkai retracted his gaze from the sea, and in the distance, the T-shaped stormtrooper formation of the rescued West Sea ship group was already entangled with the Ali family fleet on the sea, and it had an absolute advantage in terms of morale and numbers.
"It's really spectacular, it's the first time I've seen so many warships entangled," Adjutant Zalandin said with excitement, looking at the ships on the western sea like a dark cloud, his face turned red with excitement, "This reinforcement from the West Sea includes two parts, one part is composed of the West Sea's own fleet, about 130 small and medium-sized warships, and the other part is composed of the Vekia Navy,
Because the number of Vekia warships is too small in the entire ship group, and it has been hiding behind the West Sea ship group, it cannot be found at all in the vast sea.
This is the largest cross-sea fleet since the establishment of the Vekia Navy, consisting of 15 Dragon's Tooth warships equipped with Thor and 15 heavy assault ships converted from the Dylans Poseidon-class battleship
I noticed that the Wiki ship group behind it stopped, and a medium-sized warship from the West Sea in front of me leaned over, and a sturdy guy jumped down from it, and as soon as he got on the flagship of Wiki, he noisily pushed away the Wiki sailors, and walked towards the command platform with an angry face
"Lord Lunkai, why did you stop? You don't see that the guys in Zhonghai have already collapsed, and if you push harder, they will fall into the sea completely."
He is in charge of the liaison between the two parties, Zalandin, one of the thirty-two pirates, as a Xihai person, saw his companion's fleet fighting with the enemy, but the Vikia fleet in charge of the delay stopped, how not to let this grumpy Xihai pirate jump like thunder, not to mention that this time about the question of asking for help from Vikia is also very controversial among the Xihai pirates
According to the opinion of some veteran pirates, in addition to Dylan and Hulin, the so-called Vekia Navy is a group of fledglings who have played at home, and let such a guy assist him, how can these pirates who have fought at sea all their lives feel convinced, and there are also some cutting-edge factions led by the Tulunaner family, saying that although the combat effectiveness of the Vekia Navy is not very good, and it does not have a huge reputation, it is still more than enough as a reserve support force,
Regarding the decision of the West Sea Sea Kou to arrange the Vekya fleet in the reserve battle sequence, Dustrunkai, who had just led the Vekia fleet through the narrow secret passage, just smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth and accepted it happily,
This is the first time that the Wiki fleet has crossed the sea, and it is also against the Nord Haikou, which is known for its large number, compared to the more than 100 warships dispatched in the West Sea, the number of Wiki warships is too small, if the Vekia warship is really to be the vanguard, Dustrenkay will be the first to jump up and oppose it,
In the face of the cross-examination of the Xihai pirates, Dustronikai, who ordered the ship to stop, only responded very politely, "I'm sorry, we received an order to support you at the most critical moment, not to directly face the Ali family in Zhonghai at the beginning, after all, this is a dispute between you and the Haikou, and our duty is to protect our business partners, not to fight on your behalf",
Of course, this non-painful and non-itchy sentence could not calm the anger in the heart of the grumpy Zalandin, and his gaze swept contemptuously over the group of Vekia ships that were floating on the sea, and suddenly the corner of his mouth showed a contemptuous corner.
"I've long wondered that Vekia didn't send the elite Dyrlens fleet and the Hulin clan, but sent you guys with raw melons and eggs, it turned out that they were just here to fool us, just these 30 warships that are not big or small, and they are not even equipped with trebuchets, they really have to stay and watch."
"Hehe, I wish you a great victory over the China Shipping Fleet in advance"
Dustrenkai only smiled at the corner of his mouth at Zalandin's disdain before leaving, he couldn't explain the special features of the Vekia warship to this stubborn Xihai pirate,
This time, in response to the special tactics of the Rude pirates who like to attack in groups, the Vikia Admiralty specially dispatched thousands of craftsmen from Zhivading to carry out a major transformation of all the warships, installed a baffle against reef impact, increased the number of Thor on each Dragon's Tooth warship from 10 to 20, and 15 Poseidon-class warships equipped with heavy ramming horns, and also equipped the newly developed naval combat lore weapon "Dragon's Breath" on both sides of the ship's side
"Dragon's Breath" knew that this weapon was not a good thing to hear the name, according to the strict order of the Grand Duke, these new weapons were forbidden to be used before facing the main fleet of the Ali family, and their huge power was enough to change the entire battle situation, even Dustronik, the commander who led the team, only heard the tester mention it a little,
According to them, this weapon, named "Dragon's Breath", was designed by the Grand Duke himself, an improved version of some terrible weapon back then, and what exactly it was, these testers were also tight-lipped about it,
They are the real operators of this terrible weapon, these new technicians to join the Vikia Navy are not many, there are only 40 people on each warship, accounting for only one percent of the number of soldiers in this sortie, but the Admiralty attaches great importance to them, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, even strictly ordered the fierce Dustrenkai to not only engage in brutal broadside battles when it is not necessary,
"These guys from the West Sea are so proud, if it weren't for the order from above, I would have beaten that guy down"
Dustrenkai looked at the distant battleship of the West Sea, his five fingers were clenched together, and he slammed on the side of the ship, his face turned red and white because of excessive excitement,
"My lord, you don't need to pay attention to the caution of these guys who don't know the height of the sky or the Grand Duke, guess that this time the Ali family will make trouble" Fleet Adjutant Elek walked up from behind and reported to Duströmkai
"According to the report of our accompanying tooth fleet, there are only about 60 Alijia warships in the sea area ahead, which does not match the information we have gotten, if I guess correctly, there is a trap ahead, these proud West Sea pirates will soon face real opponents"
"Of course I can see it, do you think I can't see the conspicuous black smoke?, otherwise I would have asked everyone to go up and eat meat," Duströnkai calmed down his feelings, and let the adjutant Elek come to his side
"Do you know why I'm stopping here?" Dustrenkai looked at Elek with a mysterious expression, then took out a pair of leather charts from his bosom and spread them out on the deck, crouched down and pointed to a corner on the map, and sneered at the corner of his mouth
"Judging from the charts, the position where the enemy can arrange an ambush is most likely on the Red Coral Coast, not far from here, where there is an inner bend where hundreds of warships can be hidden.
And the position where they attract the West Sea Fleet to engage is downwind of Red Coral Bay, and once they attack, they will inevitably be able to cut off hundreds of West Sea ship groups, and then eat the West Sea Fleet without much effort
"Red Coral Bay?" Adjutant Elek squatted down with a puzzled expression, his eyes swept over, and his face was surprised, "Isn't that in the direction of our downwind?"
"War is about calculation, and this is the Grand Duke's favorite words," Dustrenkai smiled at the corner of his mouth, "As a side branch of the Dustan family, there are still similarities in this point"
The sea surface of the deciduous island stirred by the sea breeze,
Hanging various flags, nearly 200 warships of different sizes, just like two overturned dragons entangled together, the sides of the warships on both sides were more or less smashed and collapsed, and from time to time huge stone projectiles crossed the heads of the Haikou who climbed over the side of the other ship, and then smashed heavily on the raised battlements behind the hull.
Broken wood flew sideways, and the impact force of the heavy dà not only smashed a hole of several meters in the hull, but also made the nearby sailors stagger, a mess, the cargo and corpses in the cabin flowed out of the sea with the tide from the breach, and the West Sea ship group, which was more than twice the number, had completely controlled the situation on the sea.
Before the Zhonghai Fleet besieging Fallen Leaf Island had time to turn around and form an attack formation, it was inserted from the middle by the menacing West Sea ship group, and dozens of warships in a mess had to fight separately.
The sound of fierce fighting shook the sky above the sea, and he leaped over the hook on the side of the ship, quickly closing the distance between the two ships, and then the pirates on both sides of the ship, screaming, flew over the sea and collided with the enemy on the opposite side
In just an hour, the rout of the China Shipping Fleet was a foregone conclusion, among the 68 warships, one-third of the warships had been paralyzed on the sea as if they had lost power, and the other warships were also fighting and retreating to the east, the corpses were dripping all over the ship's side, and the bright red blood washed down into the sea with the tide
"It's really ruthless, why should we stop, if we let us go up, we will definitely kill him with a salvo, it will be so troublesome"
Looking at the West Sea Fleet beating the water dogs in the distance, Captain Frye of Vecchia could only spit on the deck angrily to express the grievances in his heart, as a captain who was promoted from an artillery bombarder to a wolf's tooth ship, he hated the "tricky" equipment that had just been allocated to the gunner, with the storage of this thing, he could easily measure the distance of the other party, so as to fire the cannon accurately,
Gunners no longer need to go through long and demanding training to judge each other's distance with their eyes and brains, which simply deprives them of the honor of being an expert.
However, its effect is real. An ordinary gunner, with its assistance, can easily wipe out an expert in the bottomless water.
"Boss. What are you thinking?" asked the first mate, Haru, who was sitting across from him, curious with a dark face, and Fry didn't answer, just impatiently picked up the black wine bottle of a bottle of rum next to him.
Haru is older than Fry, but he has always regarded Fry as his big brother and has followed him with all his heart. He came from a poor background, his parents died when he was a child, and he was almost starved to death, and Fry saved him with a bowl of hot fish soup.
From the time he was seven years old, he followed Frye's side and fought with him, and the two of them were often beaten to the point of bleeding and secretly returned home, and were locked up by Old Frieh, and secretly drove a small boat out to sea together, and almost both of them drowned together, and finally drifted to the beach by the waves, and both of them were unconscious for the whole day......
Frye was a gunner, he had always been Frye's loader, the two worked together seamlessly, in the Battle of Dyrens, with an excellent example of sinking 2 assault ships, he was promoted by the fat man to the captain of a dragon's tooth ship, others say that he is Frye's biological brother, and some people say that he is Frye's shadow, where Frye appears, he appears. If Frye's right hand is Thor, then Frye's left hand is Rooke.
Standing on the messy, wide deck of the gun bay, Frye lifted the bottle of rum and drank almost half of it from his back. The strong pirate wine ran down his lips, and he didn't wipe it, his bronzed face flushed red.
"Say, what are we stopping here, and I don't know what Lord Lunkai thinks?" Frye blushed slightly, and complained to his brother with extreme dissatisfaction, "I finally have a chance to go to battle this time, so why don't you just stand and watch? I also hope to sink a few more of his ships and make our dragon tooth upgrade to a reinforced dragon tooth like the Dragon Tomb."
Rook patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, Lord Lunkai's temper you know, you will never do the kind of thing of watching others eat meat and drink soup yourself, maybe wait here, just wait for the meat to come."
"Meat, how can there be meat, don't you see that those Xihai people are almost finished?
Frye seemed to be stimulated to fight again, his eyes were red, and he was eager to try, but soon it dimmed again, drooping his head, and said helplessly, "That kid from Clerand has just changed to the latest dragon tooth battleship, and he has already been displayed in the Vechia Sea, and we are all promoted to captain together, you see that other people's ship is beautiful, alas......"
At the moment of sighing, the urgent whistle suddenly sounded sharply, which was particularly harsh in the calm sea, at first one whistle, then two whistles, three whistles...... At last all the whistles were joined together, and the shrill whistles between the ships seemed to pierce everyone's eardrums.
"Signal from the flagship"
Frye and Rook looked up in surprise at the same time, looking at the high mast above their heads, and at the very top of the mast there were two lookout posts, one holding a telescope to closely observe the surrounding sea.
The other is using guò gestures and whistles to convey the most urgent battle messages.
His gesture slashed down and then across his chest, repeating it over and over again, as if the sight was too shocking for him to express without the violent gestures.
Luke tilted his face and muttered to himself in disbelief, "Oh my God, one hundred and fifty ships...... Which madman's fleet is this?"
"Haha coming, here it is, my new dragon tooth is coming"
Frye bounced up from the deck excitedly, his face was red and white because of excessive excitement, it was really hard to find nowhere to step on the iron, it didn't take any effort to get there, I didn't expect that waiting here, there would be such a big piece of meat falling,
Stimulated by the highest concentration of rum, his brown hair seemed to have a strong smell of alcohol. He didn't answer at all, but drew his cold-lit saber with a swipe, occupied it next to the steering wheel, raised his scimitar, and roared sharply
"Inform the cannon warehouse Lao Tzu to personally press the cannon and face the battle at nine o'clock"
At this moment, the pursuing Xihai ship group was already in chaos, they did not expect to encounter an enemy ambush here In the east of the channel they had just sailed through, a long black wall appeared on the sea, like dense sails like a forest, almost covering the sky in the distance
"Boom"
With a loud crashing sound, a small West Sea battleship was smashed off by the oncoming huge hull, broken wood flew sideways, and the corpse floated on the sea surface mixed with seawater, and was soon swept away by the waves set off by other warships in other directions.
Everywhere there are the dilapidated wrecks of the battleships of the Western Sea,
The strong wind has become the opponent's most powerful weapon at this moment
The China Shipping Fleet, equipped with ramming angles, completely smashed into the warship group in the West Sea in an unstoppable posture.
Like a sharp wedge into a pile of soft sand,
Squeeze all the targets in front of you and crush them
Hundreds of warships in the West Sea have been completely stunned,
Some ships began to choose large ships to gather together to form a battle group to protect themselves, and some warships turned to escape on their own.
But he was soon caught up and became a prisoner under the ramming horns of the Chinese Fleet
The sea is full of fleeing ships of the Western Sea,
On the hull of a huge battleship, Alizhovka raised his long sword, pointed to a warship in the Western Sea that was turning in front of him, and laughed
"Idiots of the West Sea, today, I will let you know what a real naval battle is"
The sea breeze was agitated, and the bloody smell of fierce beasts pounced on his face
"Assemble, quick, get all the ships closer to the flagship"
Huturil Red Moon, dressed in fiery red chain mail, looked at the murderous ambush fleet in the distance, and shouted with blood-red eyes,
Because of the casual pursuit, hundreds of warships in the West Sea turned in a hurry on the sea.
In front of the huge fleet coming downwind, it was completely like a plate of loose sand hitting a well-groomed embankment,
"No, I can't stop it, miss, if you don't remove the men of the Huturil family, they will all be destroyed here"
An old man looked at the scattered fleet in the distance, and knelt on one knee in front of the red moon of Huturil with a desolate face.
