1713 Thundering Spring (9)
"Smack" The Fizer flagship lowered the baffle and built a passage between the hull and the burning flagship of the Stranger, General Ferzer accompanied the young man to the flagship of the Stranger, the fierce naval battle was over, the slanting sun in the distance shone on this black and red waterway, a whole day of fighting, the Feezer side paid more than 1,500 casualties, and the Stranger's losses were even heavier, except for an inconsequential assault ship that escaped, the Alien flagship on which the target was riding was also captured, but the news from above made the young man and General Ferzer both stunned
The whole ship was searched three times by the Fetzer people on and down the deck, and even the wooden barrels in the cabin where fresh water and food were stored were split with weapons one by one, and the whole ship was almost turned upside down, and still no shadow of the so-called "woman" was found
"This can't be!, the target should indeed be on this ship!" said the young man with an eager expression, unbuttoning the hood on his head to hide his face, no longer caring about his identity and the blood stains all over the ground, he personally boarded the flagship of the Strangers with his hands over his nose,
The powerless Strant flagship lay across the sea, covered with corpses, flames crackling on the backmast, black smoke billowing into the sky, and the Fizers lined up all the corpses of the Aliens on the deck of the ship according to the order, and the bloody corpses showed the loyalty of these brave warriors,
"Didn't I sue you, tell your people to be careful, this is a cargo worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins!" The young man personally squatted down, his hands carefully looked through one by one regardless of the blood on his hands, General Fei Ze followed with a pale face, a total of 243 Strangers, walking back and forth along the corpse three times, the young man was attracted by the corpse of an old man with a severed arm at the end of the corpse lineup, "Is this the commander of the enemy?" The young man stopped, his eyes focused on the military emblem on the old man's shoulder, and his expression was solemn. The old man's military insignia is a symbol like an eye, and on both sides of the eyes are unfolded double leaves, which is the military insignia of a senior officer of the Strand Navy, seeing the corpse of this old man, the young man's face was slightly moved, although the old man was dead, but there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, it was a smile of victory, it seemed that this encounter, it was not the Aliens who lost. It's the Fetzers!
The young man's eyes lit up, and a sense of foreboding permeated his heart, could it be ...... The young man seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned around and asked General Faeser who was still in a daze behind him with an unkind expression, "What about the assault ship? Don't you think that the sudden ramming of the enemy's flagship just now is a bit unreasonable......?" Seems to be a little!"
General Fetzer was taken aback by the sudden question, and said hesitantly, "According to general tactics, if the enemy wants to escape, he should try his best to avoid excessive entanglement, instead of colliding together, we are heavy warships, and it is not cost-effective to collide with us." But it will stop you completely!If you are in a state of anger, or you can understand, but the commander of the other party doesn't look like that!"My lord, there is one less escape boat in the bottom warehouse!" A sailor ran over and said, "That's right! Order the fleet to set sail, the target should be on that assault ship!" The young man ordered with a sharp gaze, "We can't delay here, catch up immediately, it should be too late now." The assault ship is damaged, and it's still headwind!" "Catch up, Your Excellency, and cross the Gibro bend in front. It's just the range of the Gang Fei Navy! If we catch up, it's easy to encounter the ...... of the Gang Fei people!" General Fei Ze looked dull and ugly, he was worried about how to explain this mission, but he promised the regional governor that he would definitely be able to catch the target, and the regional governor also promised that as long as he completed this mission, he would officially recommend him to the kingdom as the head of the Fei Ze navy in the Gibro Sea Road, which was a fat shortage that countless people snatched,
There are at least 1,000 ships traveling to and from the Gibro Sea Road every year, and it is enough to get a surprising amount of money just by seizing the opportunity, but now, this opportunity seems to be getting slimmer and slimmer "The Gangfei Navy has long existed in name only in the naval battle with the Northern Falcon Empire!
The young man waved his hand, interrupted General Faeser's words, and tied his hood with both hands, in order to make this General Fetzer muster up his fighting spirit, the corners of his mouth slowly said, "As long as I can grasp the target, I can add an additional honorarium to the Governor of Robula, I believe that the Governor will praise Your Excellency well, so that Your Excellency will have a good evaluation in this year's evaluation,"
"Okay, okay, I see!" General Feize's eyes lit up, and he reluctantly glanced at this "trophy", although he was very reluctant, but for him, it was the most important thing to be able to win the favor of the regional governor, and Feizer implemented the regional governor system,
The power of the governor of the region was very large, and these people were called the kings of the city,
The entire Fizer Kingdom has four regional governors, controlling two-thirds of the kingdom's population, and then the central control of the Algiers region, compared with the centralized Central European Barrow region, the southern Ou Baro region is more like a combination of interests alliance, some powerful regional governors are no different from the king, they have complete tax power and personnel appointments and dismissals for their own regions, have independent armies, occupy prosperous cities, even the central district, do not dare to dictate to the kings of these regions
Moreover, the power of some central regions also needs to do their best to co-opt the governors of these regions to support them, and in some countries, the kings are rotated by the regional governors.
Fei Ze turned around and shouted loudly to his subordinates who were still carrying the ship's belongings, "Put down your things, everyone go back to their battleship, hurry up, let's go after that assault ship!"
"Whoa"
Gangfei sea area,
The sea breeze blew the sails of the Dragon-class battleship and swelled like a ball, the huge weight of the ship pressed into the sea, and the panicked fish jumped out on the sea surface on the port side of the battleship, like a sea spirit who crossed the vigorous sea, and the smooth back reflected a white luster in the sunset from time to time.
6 Dragon's Tooth Battleships and a Dragon-class Battleship appeared on the sea,
Tigar, the commander of the southern district of the Falcon Empire Navy, was looking at the sea area map on the table in his captain's room, the Gangfei Navy had already existed in name only, and the Gangfei people, who had lost their control over the sea area, completely gave up the plan to rebuild the navy, and even made the decision to "move to Beijing".
By order of the Imperial Admiralty, on the bombardment of Gangfei Kyoto. The commander of the Fourth Fleet, Teagar, who has drawn out a gorgeous line, has been promoted by His Majesty Falcon, and he is now the head of the southern region of the Falcon Empire's navy, mainly responsible for the control and exploration of the southern seas of Gangfei.
The rumored Gibro Sea Road was undoubtedly the focus of the Falcon Majesty's request for exploration, and the task of finding this important shipping lane, fell on Tiguel's shoulders,
Tigger was able to stand out from the ranks of the notoriously unruly Imperial fleet, and climbed to an important position similar to that of the commander of the regional fleet that controlled most of the seas, in addition to his own bravery and tenacity. In addition to being bold and careful, and the delicate and decisive combat style, he also has another astonishing ability, that is, extraordinary memory
In the report of Admiralty Dustrunkay, the Admiral said of Teagar: "He is a living map of the sea, and he knows the sea area he has traveled through, and after striking the Kyoto with all his might, he dragged the pursuing Gangfei 1st Heavy Fleet into an ambush circle on the way back in the fog." It is because of his outstanding memory. As long as he sailed once, he would close his eyes. He is also able to direct the battleship in a predetermined direction, without any mistakes, because he has an instinct. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel the direction of the sea in the wind! This is a natural naval commander! Enough to take on the task of exploring the Gibro Seaway!"
"Commander, we are close to the predetermined sea!"
The adjutant nervously pushed open the hatch and walked in, the fleet had been sailing on the sea for two days. Although the Gangfei Navy suffered a heavy blow, it was the Gangfei Navy that controlled the Gibro Sea Road, from a certain Cheng dù. This is an enemy-occupied area that can be encountered at any time
"yes, what's the flow and wind out there?" Teagarh looked up and used the pen in his hand to mark his current position on the chart, and marked the triangle with the emphasis
"The wind is southeast, and the current is northwest, which is good for us to return!" replied the adjutant
"No, we have no intention of returning until we find the rumored sea lane!"
Tigger put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his swollen temples, sighed in his heart that it was a wasted day, he looked a little blankly at the cloudless sea outside the window, rippling blue waves, water and sky, picturesque sunset, except for one of the most important things,
Where the hell is that rumored waterway?
"Bell! bell!"
Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded on the top of the mast overhead, and on the deck below, sailors were running
"What's going on?" Teagar raised his head in surprise, and the flag-bearer above was pointing violently to the southeast, as if he had found something, "My lord, an unknown warship has been found in the southeast!" Seeing Captain Tigger coming out of the ship's cabin, the first mate on duty on the deck immediately ran up to him and reported to him, "Southeast!"
Tigger's face immediately became gloomy, it was the area he was about to look for, and it was also the most likely direction for the Gangfei Navy,
He first looked up at the direction of the wind, the northeast wind, the other party was driving against the wind, his heart relaxed a little, he had a favorable wind direction, he was not afraid of the Gangfei Navy, but he also did not want to encounter Gangfei people far from the base camp,
"Order, all ships prepare for battle!" "Teagar quickly issued a combat order, "Gun Warehouse Level 1 Combat Readiness ......" In the middle gun compartment of the Dragon-class battleship, there was the sound of the baffle opening up,
The latest equipment of the small-caliber rapid-fire Thor was launched, the barrel is one-third longer than the original Thor, but the caliber is only half of the original Thor, it is said that this small-caliber Thor has reduced its power, but the penetration and range are very strong, because it is an improved version that was equipped with the Imperial Navy just after the naval war, and everyone has not really actually used it,
The Admiralty was cautious about the combat effectiveness of this improved type, while the sailors did not care so much, they were well-trained, and quickly entered the combat state from the state of navigation, the portholes of the guns were quickly opened, and the swarthy Thunder God barrels also stretched out from the open sides of the guns, pieces of black muzzles, the cold light of the metal seemed to swallow even the sun, and under the golden light of the setting sun, the whole fleet was like a huge hedgehog that suddenly exploded, and the hideous momentum of the birth and no one should be disturbed broke out "Ready!" The shells were stuffed into the chamber by the shellers, and they were ready to fire just waiting for an order.
The captain of the bombardment was in charge of the rangefinder himself, and all eyes were focused on a rapidly approaching point at sea level to the southeast. The speed of the other party is very fast. At first, it was just a small black dot, then a slowly expanding white sail, and then a loud announcer from the direction of the gun bay "Commander, the gun bay has been adjusted and is ready for battle" from the direction of the gun barn
"The first, fifth, and eighth groups are ready to be filled!"
Tigger stood on the bridge with a grim expression, listening to the prepared reports, and unexpectedly did not give the order to shoot, he held the lookout goggles hanging around his neck with both hands. Through the round lens of the lookout glass, you can see that on the sea in the southeast, a small fast assault warship staggered and rushed towards this side.
The sails of the battleship were torn open several times, and there was a huge concave and convex gap in the left side of the ship, which should have been caused by the collision and squeezing of the battleship, but even so, the other party's speed was still very fast, which couldn't help but arouse Teagar's curiosity. His gaze quickly noticed that the assault battleship's sides were full of white waves rolling in and out of the traditional upwind oars, but a high-speed rotating roulette wheel on each side. The roulette rolled up white waves and slapped the sea hard, making the whole ship like a huge tuna leaping out of the sea.
And behind this wolf bèi's unidentified assault ship. A row of black battleships was in hot pursuit, a completely black warship, from the sails to the hull. It gives people a very evil feeling, "Commander, the other party seems to have sent a signal for help!" The flag man on the mast shouted uncertainly, "Do you want to ask for help? It should be! Order all ships, without the order of the flagship, do not shoot for the time being! Let's see the situation."
Tigger raised his right hand, the corners of his mouth twitched, put down the lookout goggles in his hand, he also saw the other party's flag hand on the high mast, waving the flagpole in his hand with all his might, this unfamiliar gesture made him unsure, but the other party did not seem to put on a combat posture except for continuing to speed up,
Under such a clear warning from our fleet, it is a joke to rush towards our own group of ships alone, if it is also a kind of operation, "Who is in front?
On the Feide, who was fleeing at full speed, beside the captain Mla who was clinging to the rudder of the battleship, Angelie asked nervously, the sailors on the deck were pulling the sail cables violently, Stink leaned on the bridge alone, and said calmly, "Although I don't know who the other party is, it looks like a regular navy, and it doesn't matter if I am caught"
"If it falls into the hands of the Fetzer people behind, then none of us will survive, except for this young lady, of course! You are the target of the Fetzer people! They won't do anything to you, hey, it's good to have a prince's father, even the old man of Gilfinit finally chose to sacrifice the lives of his beloved flagship and thousands of subordinates to cover you!" "You ......" Angelie looked at him angrily, her face was red with grievance, thinking of the attack she had suffered for this, those compatriots who had fought bravely with the Fetzer people until the last moment, and had disappeared, Angelie's eyes were red, and she couldn't speak for a while
Captain Mla raised his head nervously and asked loudly to the flag-bearer on the mast, "No, the other party didn't say anything at all!" The flag-bearer's voice above carried a feeling of crying, and the nerves of everyone on the deck tensed into a string, and the battleship slammed forward, and everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, so naked approaching a heavily armed naval fleet was like sending them to death
The number of warships on the other side was fully seven, especially the huge large battleship, like a hill, it was definitely the largest warship that Mla had ever seen, and it was conceivable how many heavy trebuchets such a huge battleship would be equipped with enough heavy trebuchets to crush his own assault ship.
Looking at the Alien assault ship, like a wild horse on the loose, rushing towards the direction of the unknown fleet regardless of life or death, the Fizer battleship behind had to start to slow down, on Fizer's flagship, the young man with a hood looked at the strangely shaped dragon tooth battleship in the distance, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and asked General Fizer next to him, "Is the Gangfei Navy in front?" "No, the Gang Fei Navy's flag is a cross, and the flag of this naval fleet seems to be an eagle, I haven't seen it!" General Fei Ze shook his head in confusion and replied, "Eagle, could it be the Northern Falcon Empire!" The young man's face suddenly became ugly, could it be that the scope of the Northern Falcon Empire has expanded to the area of Gibroro Sea!
But I didn't think that the powerful Gangfei Empire had fallen to the point of completely abandoning Cheng Dù in its own seas. "What if it's the Northern Falcon Empire?, do they really dare to fight against our Faizer Navy?" General Faizer's face flashed with a trace of disdain, he didn't care what the Falcon Empire was, in his heart, Gangfei was the overlord of this sea area, he ordered loudly, "Raise the battle flag, warn that fleet, don't get in the way!" "Commander, the opposite fleet seems to be raising the battle flag!" The shout from the mast made Tiggal's face gloomy, and he muttered, "I really don't know whether to live or die!" In that case, it's time to test the power of the improved one!" (To be continued......)
