Chapter 176: Enemy on the Belly and Back
One hundred nautical miles, the conquest fleet lasted from noon to the early hours of the next morning, and the large force finally reached ten nautical miles off the coast of the port of Aberia. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but before they could line up to form an attack formation, Yi Xiaoge gave them a dismount first.
Sack laid out 5,000 drifting mines in front of the route in advance, and nearly 50 Anji frigates, one of the two vanguard regiments of the conquest fleet, plunged headlong into the minefield, triggering a series of explosions on the spot, nearly 20 Anji frigates suffered heavy losses and lost their combat capability, and six were directly sunk.
The commander of the conquest fleet, Walker, saw his own ships in danger from afar.
"A bunch of trash! Tell them to retreat where they are and wait for reinforcements! ”
Drifting Thunder is the first time to appear in front of the players, there are good people who sail the ship out early to the battlefield to observe the battle situation nearby, Drifting Thunder's record was filmed by them and put on the forum, which immediately caused a heated discussion, this is a new tactical weapon, which has not been seen in the trading center at all.
The vanguard regiment, which had lost more than half of its weight, retreated the same way, and another pioneer regiment formed a fan formation and began to cover the minefield. This is the most effective way to deal with underwater explosives and open up safe passages.
Yi Xiaoge was not very satisfied with the results achieved by Drifting Thunder, but this was already the case, and he could only carry out the next round of arrangements.
"Commander! The front is the port of Aberlia, do you want to attack immediately? ”
One of the lieutenants told Walker that their warships were among the largest and most powerful in the capital, and that they were not yet able to deal with a second-tier port with a few pirate handles.
"Don't move yet! The large force of the pirate group has not yet been discovered, so send a reconnaissance ship to investigate the situation! ”
Walker is obviously very proficient in naval warfare and military affairs, and is very rigorous and objective in everything he does and speaks, and such people are often the most difficult to deal with.
Five Brilliant-class battleships separated from the main force and headed in different directions. The rest of the ships waited in place, and a hundred galleons protected the 100,000 soldiers of the 1,000 troop carriers, the backbone of the assault on the port of Aberia.
"How's it going?"
Yi Xiaoge anxiously interrogated Shack, who had just come ashore and was soaking wet. The latter wiped his face and said, "The conquest fleet has anchored ten nautical miles away, and they have sent five Brilliant-class battleships to conduct a roundabout reconnaissance!" ”
Yi Xiaoge thought to himself after listening to this, all the 1,200 warships of Mitheus at this moment were assembled on the other side of the port of Aberlia and waiting for his order. In fact, Yi Xiaoge could directly order Mitheus to lead the team to a decisive battle with the conquest fleet, and he was very sure of winning. However, when he tries to add his own islanders and ships to Mitheus's troops, he is told by Ace that the size of the dependent legions is controlled by the subordinate legions themselves, and the player can only supply the attached legions with equipment.
Yi Xiaoge asked Mitheus that when he learned that the size of pirates was increasing very slowly, and that the size of one or two ships could only be increased in a natural day, his original idea of dying up with the conquest fleet could only be dispelled.
The members of the Blood Eagle Pirate Regiment are all warriors with amazing combat effectiveness, and there may be even more roles in the future, but it would be a great loss to plant them all here.
"Romon let's go!"
"Where to go!"
"Go to sea and pull out their tongues!"
Since the conquest fleet is willing to use the Brilliant class battleship to explore the way, then the points sent to the door should not be in vain!
Yi Xiaoge's three enhanced Brilliant-class battleships slowly sailed out of the port, and the speed of large ships when they anchored and moved was outrageously slow.
According to the dolphin's guidance, Yi Xiaoge quickly intercepted the reconnaissance ship that was rapidly searching for the advance at a point around the four nautical miles. Luo Meng is worthy of being Luo Meng, even in the face of the expert conquest fleet reconnaissance ship, he still grabbed the T-shaped position steadily, Yi Xiaoge and they took the lead in firing!
The feeling of hundreds of artillery salvos, Yi Xiaoge experienced it for the first time, the deafening sound of the cannon made Yi Xiaoge's adrenaline secrete quickly, and he directly activated the rapid navigation skill to avoid the same sharp artillery fire of the reconnaissance ship. The first batch of shells Yi Xiaoge hit incendiary bombs as usual, and a third of the shells hit the reconnaissance ship, and the fire was about to start, but he ignored the fact that the brilliant class was equipped with fire-extinguishing sand, and several sailors on the deck of the reconnaissance ship ran back and forth to spread fire-extinguishing sand to the fire source, and only one mast canvas was damaged.
"Exam! Forget about this stubble, change the hollow bullet to give me a salvo of the whole ship! ”
Romon quickly navigated to the rear of the scout ship, and although the battleship was much larger, Romon was still able to operate like a fish in water, worthy of being a special navigator. And the two auxiliary ships that caught up from the rear outflanked the reconnaissance ship left and right.
"Shoot quickly!"
At a distance of 100 meters, the three ships fired three consecutive salvos at the center in a triangle, and all the thousands of shells hit the reconnaissance ship, and on the spot the two sides and rear guards of the battleship were honeycombed, and almost 70% of the gun positions were lost.
Seeing that the outnumbered reconnaissance ship remembered to escape at this moment, the flagship, which was still in a state of rapid sailing, chased after it and fired two rounds of close-range shelling, which directly sank this battleship of the same class.
When Yi Xiaoge concocted the third reconnaissance ship in the same way, the other two battleships had already completed their reconnaissance and returned to the fleet.
Walker had learned about the harbor and already knew that the Blood Eagle Pirates were squatting nearby, so he simply waved straight to the Blood Eagle Pirates, if he could annihilate this extremely threatening pirate fleet while recovering the port of Aberria, then by the time he returned to the heart of the world, the addition of the rank to the knighthood would be just around the corner.
"Mr. Yi, they didn't attack Aberlia Port, but directly attacked the Blood Eagle Pirate Regiment!"
Sack said beside Yi Xiaoge's boat, and when Yi Xiaoge looked up, he could already see dense black shadows on the horizon.
"Prepare Mitheus for battle, how is Mr. Grindersi's blaster ready!"
"A thousand ships are all ready!"
When Yi Xiaoge's spirit was tense, a dolphin suddenly appeared next to the boat, Yi Xiaoge felt the extraordinary anxiety of the dolphin, and the vest suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Not good! No island is in danger! ”
Thousands of nautical miles away there is no island and five nautical miles away, and one hundred and fifty battleships and frigates from three fleets will be unable to penetrate the small water without the island enclosure. Each of the three fleets hung its own flag, the cyan dragon, the crimson snake, and the golden lion, and the flags fluttered slowly on the sunny morning of the island.
"Is this the lair of Yi Xiaoer? It's too small! ”
"Royal cannons? It's kind of interesting! ”
"Does such an island need to be attacked by three fleets! I swept pirates in the southern seas every day, and I lived such a nourishing life while drinking, and I wasted more than a month to fight such a broken island......"
The three flagships were approaching the port at the moment, and the three middle-aged men in majestic military uniforms looked at the island in front of them with a glimpse of the head. (To be continued.) )
