Chapter 9 The Verge
Dark clouds cover the sun, and thunder bursts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoDark clouds rolled in the sky, and in an instant, it poured down from the sky.
Dozens of warships moved forward off the coast of Rogue Town, and their target was Rogue Town. Instead of the flag of the Navy or the World Government, black flags swore to the passing boats that they were pirates.
From the sea level, the black pressure is continuous, and under the cooperation of this low dark cloud, people can't raise their heads. Many passing merchant ships were caught in the black cloud because they couldn't dodge, and from time to time there was a loud "boom" sound from inside, and even in the center of Rogue Town, you could hear the sound mixed with thunder.
"Sven Dazuo, the pirates still have 3 nautical miles to arrive in Rogue Town, will it be too close?" At this time, in the headquarters of Rogue Town, a navy reported to the big Zuo he said about the situation of this pirate group.
Sven Dazuo, a profligate and uninhibited navy who longs for a life full of excitement, is not appreciated by the navy's top brass because of his character in the great voyage, and is sometimes transferred between the navy's various Qingshui yamen by the navy for various reasons. This time, because the former commander of Rogue Town, Smok Dazuo, pursued the Straw Hat Pirates and left, he was transferred to the very calm sea area of the East China Sea by the top of the Navy, and Swain was quite dissatisfied with this.
"Has the garrison in the nearest town been transferred?" said Sven as he leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, as if it didn't matter much to him.
"Dazuo, the garrison of the nearby town has already rushed over, but there are only 2 large warships, plus the 4 large warships on Rogue Town, there are only 6. Woods has already led Rogue Town's fleet to meet them, and according to your arrangement, the other 2 reinforcements have already made a detour to the side of the pirates to prepare for an ambush and attack them. The Navy reported this data truthfully, and there was a faint worry about it.
"Can a naval battle be fought?"
"Eh, not necessarily, you may need to put it up to fight, our sea strength is not as good as the other party. ā
"Is the situation on the other side clear? Which pirate group is it?"
"Report to Dazuo, I can't find out which pirate group it is, it's very likely that it is a pirate group newly formed from the old department of the original Creek Pirates. This pirate fleet is almost all members of the original Pirate Admiral Creek's fleet, and it is estimated that they may have come for the ghost Jin, and perhaps even avenged Creek. ā
"Is it really impossible to fight a naval battle?" Swain muttered, but he also liked to put it in Rogue Town, and in Sven's opinion, there could be any strong pirates in the East China Sea, put them in Rogue Town to catch turtles in an urn, and wipe them out.
The navy heard Swain Dazuo muttering, so he continued, "We have 6 large warships, 13 medium warships, and 20 small warships, of which 2 large warships and 4 medium warships are ambushed around the flanks, and the rest are ready to meet the other side head-on under the leadership of Woods Zhongzuo."
The other side has roughly 26 large and medium-sized warships, 9 large warships, and 17 medium-sized warships, but there are not many small warships, and there are roughly 10 or so warships. Originally, the information showed that the Creek Pirates split after escaping from the Great Route, but for some unknown reason, many pirates who broke away from the Creek Pirates have returned there. ā
"Well, okay, I know, you go down first. ā
"Yes!"
The alarm bells of Rogue Town also rang at this time, and the bells echoed over the real Rogue Town. Sven stroked the double knives on his waist, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, there were still people attacking Rogue Town, and the number was so large, it seemed that he was indispensable to kill.
The alarm bell of Rogue Town resounded throughout the town, resounding through the sky, and the pirate fleet in the distance could clearly hear the reverberating sound.
Yune stood on the bow of the ship in high spirits, and the town of Rogue not far away could already be clearly seen, only to see that the dock was full of navies running and arming.
Dozens of naval warships also lined up and headed towards their side, expecting that the two sides would arrive at the battlefield in 10 minutes.
The battle of dozens of warships is exciting, and Yunero can't help but be excited, and of course the pirates on board are also excited.
Since leaving Orange Town and returning to Golden Cancan Island, Jack has told Yunero the good news that the pirates who had broken away have returned, and the entire pirate group has more than 1,900 people. In addition to leaving 200 men on Jincancan Island as a defense, the number of people who followed this time was as large as 1,700.
Yune Ruo is really not Luffy's kind of pirate group that only uses elites, although the individual strength of the members of that kind of pirate group is strong, but after all, it is inconvenient to do a lot of things, and there is a lot of strength, so it can only be destined that the Straw Hat Pirates are a team of adventurers, and cannot become a pirate group in the real sense, of course, there are exceptions.
As an earthling, Yunero also roughly knows some naval battle tactics on the earth, such as the battle line, T-shaped tactics, and arson ships. Generally speaking, the battle line is often seen on the earth, and the fleet enters the battlefield in a single column to design with the other side, and later the name "battleship" is derived from this.
As for the knowledge of the One Piece world, since Yunero has been secluded by the world's masters before**, it can be said that he knows very little about the outside world, and the only clear understanding comes from his imperfect memories on Earth. Therefore, as for the perception of naval tactics, Yunero also thinks that it is roughly the kind of ship facing the other side and then firing cannons and fighting, as for whether there are other tactics, for these simple-minded guys in the comics, Yunelo is not sure, at least his subordinates' views on naval warfare are like this.
"Admiral, we're going to be on the battlefield in 2 minutes. Jack was nervously reporting his work at this time, for Rogue Town, Jack, the town where One Piece was born and died, felt inexplicably excited, but he also knew that Rogue Town had a lot of navies stationed in it, and the navies stationed in nearby towns were expected to come to reinforce it.
Rogue has almost never been invaded by pirates, and has always lived in a peaceful environment, and even if pirates come, it is a small fight, and it will soon be extinguished by the navy stationed here.
"Well, good. Order all medium ships to move to the sides, leaving room for large ships. Have all the small ships follow behind the big ships and wait for orders. Let all the large battleships turn around and line up horizontally in a longitudinal split, with our ship at the head and facing the enemy sideways. "Yunero also played a lot of war games when he was on Earth, and he also knew that there was such a thing as the width of the battlefield, only 3 nautical miles to the town of Rogue, such a close distance to fight, the width of the battlefield on both sides is not large, there is no need to pile all the ships together.
"Yes!" Jack didn't know why Yunero issued this seemingly strange series of orders, but he also carefully conveyed Yunelo's orders.
At this time, on the Navy battleship, Woods Zhongzuo also saw this scene with a telescope on the bow of the ship, "Huh!? What are they doing here?" I saw that the pirates' ships began to scatter in all directions, and nine of the large warships lined up in a line, slowly heading towards the battlefield.
"Report the situation to Swaindazo!"
"Yes!
"Grunt, grunt. ā
"Hello?"
"Report to Osa, the pirates' ships are a little strange, and the other ships are scattered to the left and right, leaving 9 large warships in the middle. ā
"Okay, I got it. Swain didn't reply any further.
"Yes!"
"Ha, it's funny, it's funny that you don't have to rush over with all the ships, it's interesting. Swain left his seat and walked to the balcony, where he could clearly see the sea, the dark clouds rolling, and the naval warships in the distance had arrived on the battlefield, and the war was about to break out.
(About naval warfare, it is possible that what is written is not true, after all, the author does not know much about naval warfare.) ļ¼
