Chapter 225. The first cruise of the fleet

Levi had had enough of the bureaucratic aristocrats who were still fighting openly and secretly, especially when Moulton died, he was like a shackle had been unchained, and that was the anger in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Or call it war.

An ancient country once said that if you are backward, you will be beaten, and this world is backward in Levi's view, so it will have to endure the taste of backwardness now.

Let this backward world taste what is called pain!

Empire: Total War is not a simple construction game, and many countries on the planet in Western Europe are not peace-loving Virgin States, just as Levi is not a weak person who can endure.

In the modern history of Europe and the West, the world is regarded as a forest, believing that the weak eat the strong, either you die or I die, and only talk about naked interests.

The game also fully inherits this.,Only strength is everything.,The so-called agreements and treaties are just paper used to tear up.,The two sides are still trading with each other in the last round.,The next round is estimated to tear your face and fight on the border very fiercely!

Who cares about peace?

The nobles of this world still regard Levi with traditional concepts, this was only a small merchant some time ago, and he became the lucky one of the lords because of the favor of the governor.

Now this lucky man has ruined everything that the governor has given him, and has also overturned the so-called decency and elegance of the nobles, and is even more involved with the rebellious viscount, who will not show mercy at all in order to show their determination to the governor, and even salivate at the now initially developed Cape Town.

The opening of a new route had spread among the nobility, who had already been eager for the East Coast and Cape Town, and now they had seen the fat sheep.

That was Levi, the lord of Cape Town, who was the product of a compromise they had pushed out.

A large number of fleets began to gather, and even some of the nobles from the Governor had received new news, and were shocked to find that the Lenketuv River thief, the self-proclaimed Marsh Baron, had become their power.

Grey Mist is ready for war, and the target is the East Coast, where Cape Town, which has been abandoned for nearly a decade, is now estimated to be a dilapidated place that has formed a village.

But this group of nobles will never realize that the current Cape Town has long since changed, a new town is slowly rising, perfect city walls, exquisite houses, vigorous residents, perfect army units, traditional culture from the earth, and their fearless high morale.

And the naval forces that had already been recruited, led by the flagship galleon, launched their first cruise in the waters near the town of Cape on the east coast, announcing their founding.

The five dhows had already raised their sails and followed the flagship of the galleon, which, though slightly smaller than the galleon, was slightly smaller than the galleon of the early Age of Discovery, but the biggest difference was perhaps that it had only one deck.

Although the dhow is not powerful, it is famous in history!

Because the Caribbean pirates like this kind of nimble small warship the most, if they find a lone enemy ship, they will approach it, and if they find that the enemy can't beat it, they will immediately enter the offshore sea with a complex environment and escape with the help of the reef.

In the naval system, these dhows are mostly used as early reconnaissance ships, or to fill the gap in the fleet's firepower, although the late Age of Discovery has faced obsolescence, but in the coastal defense forces, a number of such flexible warships will be retained as anti-smuggling ships.

However, in the face of those ocean-going warships that are mostly equipped with cold weapons such as trebuchets, ballistas, bed crossbows, etc., it is also enough.

A total of 18 12-pounder guns were equipped on both sides of the single deck, and after the five sloops formed a tactical line, it was also 90 12-pounder naval long-barreled guns, and with the Galen galleon as the flagship, the 60 32-pounder short heavy guns also formed a terrifying rain of shells, and they were covered by quite flexible firepower from far and near!

Dloops are small offshore ships that can play a huge role in forming a battle column around a huge galleon or spreading out to form a multi-point fleet centered on a galen.

The combination of long-barreled light artillery and short-barreled heavy artillery is scientific and reasonable, which is enough to fight the enemy fleet of the same size, especially the firepower of this light and heavy ship, and in the hands of excellent admirals, it can play a flexible and changeable real-time tactics.

When the Spanish Armada was destroyed and the sun never set on Britain, the Dutch fleet, known as the chariot groom of the sea, successfully gained maritime supremacy in the fifty years when the maritime power was vacant, and even blocked the British fleet in the port of London for a time, so that the British gentlemen watched their fleet burn to ashes together with the port of London!

…………

At the top of Cape Mountain, the half-built lighthouse has been canceled, and only five town militiamen armed with flintlock pistols are on guard here, if it is not for the fact that the road leading to the top of the mountain has not been renovated, it is estimated that there is already an additional team of 24-pounder light cannons on this top, as shore defense artillery, to deter the sea and beaches around Cape Mountain.

But Levi stood on the platform of the lighthouse with a makeshift foundation, his hands on the pergola and squinting slightly, looking not far in front of him, he was observing his fleet.

The galleon and five sloops were the main force of the fleet, and just behind the fleet were two equally large and slender heavy galleries, and six light galleries, which also raised their sails and followed behind them with their rows of oars that flew up and down.

Although the Galie warship is an inshore warship, it can also play a great role, because there are also warship models in this world that are similar to their rowing galleons!

A fleet of fourteen warships, cruising along the east coast, and at the same time under the command of Hall, the admiralty, quickly ran in, adapted to each other's cooperation, and waited for the enemy from the south to lunch, and they were ready to start a battle.

"This is our fleet."

The smile on the corner of his mouth slowly curled, and Li Wei felt a little more confident in his heart, turned his head to look at the chief minister Green behind him, and couldn't help but clench his fists, and said softly: "I really don't know when the group of nobles in Gray Mist City will organize a fleet to conquer us." ”

Green also nodded in agreement, he looked at the fleet on the sea with a calm face, and also smiled a little, even according to the scale of the previous Age of Discovery, this can be used as a port escort fleet.

But thinking of the group of nobles in the Grey Mist City, the smile on Green's face also carried a bit of mockery, age brought him not only experience, but also knowledge and rumors from all over the world, and couldn't help but smile: "They will come here, but I think they will have a carnival first, a banquet based on the flesh and blood of their companions." ”

"That must be exciting."

Squinting his eyes slightly, Levi also understood what Green was talking about, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the sheriff's mansion in Cape Town, where Moulton's body had been put into a coffin and was waiting to be buried.

It was a mysterious old man, and what Levi knew most about was the tavern owner, perhaps the rebellious viscount who was hidden in the shadows and had almost overthrown the rule of the Governor of the Northern Whistling Sea.

As for the other so-called Southern Tannery Sea royal family, the king of the pirates of Shipwreck Bay, Levi did not have a deep understanding of this, but he was able to gather a group of nobles and willingly join his forces to plot against the rule of the governor, which may have also shown the importance of this old man's identity.

It's a pity that Morton is already dead, not in the hands of the enemy, but humbly in the hands of his godson, who once had high hopes.

"It's sad, Daddy."

Exhaling, Levi swept over the fleet that was turning around on the sea, and there was already a little condensation in his eyes, this was when he suddenly wanted to drink some fine malt wine brewed by Morton's own hands.

The wind and rain before the battle made his mouth a little dry, and Levi knew that when the nobles had enjoyed their feast and divided up the power and wealth of the rebellious nobles, in order to show their loyalty to the governor, they would unite to form a conquest fleet and completely destroy Levi in Cape Town with the most serious appearance.

As for what Levi thought, the nobles didn't care, even if it was the young lord of this Cape Town, who had taken out the main force of the Ketuf River thieves with luck and courage.

But in the eyes of the nobles, it was not difficult to annihilate a group of water thieves composed of a rabble, if it weren't for the swamp, they would have crushed all the flies-like bed bugs to death, but the river patrol team in Samar City still needed a long meal ticket, which also produced compromises and dirty deals.

"When the fleet of nobles arrives, maybe Moulton will be able to rest in peace."

Shaking his slightly stiff neck, Levi's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the seemingly calm sea level in the south, and he also turned his head slightly, and ordered the five town militiamen stationed at the top of the hill: "I need you to pay attention. ”

The five town militiamen's faces were solemn, and they also instantly puffed up their chests, carried their flintlock pistols and saluted like regular soldiers, and said firmly: "Understand, respected Your Majesty, no enemy ship will escape our eyes!" ”

"That's great."

Levi nodded, still trusting his soldiers. Glancing at the fleet that was still patrolling and on guard, Levi also turned and walked towards the foot of Haijiao Mountain, where groups of town militiamen with flintlock muskets were also patrolling and garrisoning the primary city fortifications, and they were all ready to meet the arrival of the enemy.
