Chapter 108: The Boiling Sea (2)

On April 1, 1645, the Jagenke Governor's Office issued a proclamation accusing Stanford of a number of crimes, including spreading dangerous ideas, inciting workers to riot, harboring dangerous elements, and disturbing the economic order, declaring Stanford a traitor.

Stanford did not show weakness, and also issued a declaration of war to Jaganke, which was simple, a total of five points: clean food, a normal salary, free faith, and stable order. The last sentence made Jacques angry and smoky:

If you want to fight, you will fight!

A floating island, a rich man's toy, dare to call the city in a grand manner, looking for death?

The catering industry bigwigs, who were cleaned up by Stanford, were the first to sit still and strongly demanded to organize a rebel army to attack Stanford. This time the Governor's Palace was surprisingly efficient, and it took less than two hours to pass the resolution, do it!

The adults and men slapped the board, and then it was the turn of the big-headed soldier to appear. A mixed fleet of twelve large and small warships made a headline for Stanford.

The commander of this vanguard fleet was Li Porta, who had participated in the battle to eliminate pirates and bandits, and was one of the few generals in the army who had seen blood. He was very excited to take the lead this time, gearing up and eager to succeed.

His fleet was so fast that he had only traveled for a day and a half on the two-day journey, but he did not see the Stamford Floating Island, only a large area of floating ice.

"What about the people?

Just as he was about to beat the first mate, the lookout sent back a message: "Stanford has run away!"

Liporta was furious: "The island will have legs?"

"Report to the general, it did run away, and a lot of floating objects left by the city were found nearby. ”

Li Porta was speechless for a while, floating islands, it's normal to be able to float down the river for a while, and Stanford is small in the floating islands, and he floats fast.

"Did you find a target?"

"Nope!"

Liporta did not rush forward, and ordered to stand by and send scouts.

The scout quickly sent back a message that a floating island had been spotted to the northeast and was drifting rapidly northeast at a speed of about 9 knots.

This data immediately made Li Porta go berserk: "You tell Lao Tzu again?"

The scout was obviously trembling, but he was confident: "Sir, I swear by my grandmother's grave that the ghost did run to the 9th knot!"

What is the concept of verse 9?

In this era of sail warships, the power of the battleship mainly depends on the wind, and it is unlikely to obtain stable power that lasts for more than an hour. Coupled with factors such as tides and ocean currents, the speed of thirteen or fourteen knots can be run smoothly with the wind and water, which is already the limit. Moreover, the thirteenth and fourth festivals are very dangerous things, and there is a possibility that the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

Liporta's fleet is dominated by light warships, and it is no problem to run smoothly to the thirteenth and fourteenth knots, but a floating island can run at a speed of 9 knots?

Hell yes, could this floating island be built with boats?

Before he could react, the scout sent out a second detection report: "Report, that floating island is not Stanford, it is another small ice floating island under the banner of Stanford, rectangular, about 600 meters long and 180 meters wide." No personnel or weapons were found!"

"Keep staring at it!" Liporta turned to the staff officers and said, "Well, it looks like we've run into a group of ice sculptors." What are the plans to turn ice into floating islands?"

A staff officer said, "This must be Stanford's ploy to lure the enemy, they use a worthless floating island to disperse our forces and buy time for the main island to escape." The priority was to determine the location of the enemy's main island. ”

Another staff officer also said: "I agree with this proposal, we have an absolute advantage, as long as Stamford is targeted, the troops behind will continue to open, so luring the enemy and bullying the enemy must be the core of their defense plan." It is also possible to use the terrain to carry out ambush and harassment operations, slowing down our advance. It is recommended that the main fleet stand by in place, increase the number of scouts, and expand the search range. ”

Li Porta was silent.

A group of staff officers looked at each other, is there anything wrong with the suggestion just now?

"Full speed ahead. There is no why, this is the order. ”

"Yes. ”

Liporta's eyes narrowed, of course he knew that the advice of the staff officers was correct and safe, but now it was wrong to be safe.

The strength is superior, and the foothold is stagnant, what will be said later?

This group of people in the navy is the old man of the time of Luxford, and he still thinks of the old master in his heart!

Jagenke hasn't fought for decades, and the army is useless!

Li Porta is afraid of the enemy like a tiger!

"Doing business and investing money is also divided into long-term and short-term, how can you rush for quick success and quick profit in a war? But no, it's so eager for quick success and quick profit!"

Liporta shook his head helplessly.

At least, the strength is stronger than the opponent, catch up and run over!

At this time, Dark's side also got the news of Liporta's attack.

Duck laughed: "Stir-fry or steam, that's the question." ”

Isabella asked, "What is fried and what is steamed?"

"Speculation means luring the enemy to go deeper, using Stanford as bait, Zidao outflanks and annihilates the enemy outside Stanford in one fell swoop; steaming means that Zidao blocks the attack in batches, gradually thinning the enemy, and destroying it little by little. ”

"Of course it's annihilation in one fell swoop, okay, it's going to be fried. ”

Riley thought for a moment and said, "If our ultimate goal is to get Jagenque to open the market and force Alfran to step down, then it would be unwise to fight to the death, and the child will make a mistake and spank him to let him know that he is wrong, not to beat the child to death." ”

"Let the enemy realize that we are invincible?"

"It should be said that it is difficult to overcome. Don't worry, Sister Lala, is our sub-island so easy to deal with? The first to take on the enemy was the giant bear Yevoynich. ”

Duck said: "That's it, let's start steaming!"

At this time, Yevoynich was in the command room watching the situation of the enemy.

The Eye of Kara perched high in the zenith and the Iron Dragonfly in the middle level take in the opponent's every move.

"Two ships are staring at us, the Grand Fleet is chasing after the main island?

The floating island slowed down rapidly, and the distance between the two sides was approaching.

"The enemy has suddenly slowed down, deliberately closing the distance between them and us, and there is likely to be a hiding hole under the ice. Beware of jumping gang fights. ”

This time Liporta took the advice of the staff officer: "Keep your distance, shell." ”

Soon, the floating islands came into range of the fleet, and after a round of calibration, the ships opened fire one after another, pouring artillery fire on the flat ice, which was empty.

Through the binoculars, Liporta could clearly see that the shells had smashed the smooth and flat ice, and some large iron balls were still rolling on the ground.

"Enemy casualties?"

"Didn't find it!"

"Keep shelling!"

The shells continued to whizz and fall, and the floating islands continued to be silently beaten.

With a bang, the corner of the floating island was broken, revealing the skeleton inside.

The lookout of the Jagenke fleet shouted: "The enemy is wounded, the enemy is ...... Oh my God, it's steel in there! Change, the enemy is changing......"

Like an attacked gecko escaping with a broken tail, the damaged part of the floating island is separating from the main body and slowly sinking into the sea.

In that short moment, the internal structure of the floating island was unmistakably revealed in front of the Jagank army.

Steel is used as the skeleton, and ice is used as the muscle skin.

Yevoynich sneered: "It's time to fight back!"
