: Three thousand seven hundred and thirty-three Misty Dawn (20)

Hu Keqili, Minister of the Empire, frowned, his fingers clenched tightly on the side of the ship, his eyes were drawn from the debris and dead bodies floating on the sea, and he took a deep breath. The commander-in-chief said that the sea of ​​mist As a natural dividing line between the southern waters of Eero and the waters of Aden, the Adenites may have found a way to cross the misty sea."
"Besides this possibility, I cannot find other possibilities"
Dusterenka nodded and said in a condensed voice, "After the Adenites lost the port of Cornelia at the mouth of the inland sea, they not only burned all the ships that could not be taken away, but also directly destroyed the areas close to the inland sea. The four oasis zones directly hid to the depths of the Aden Desert eight hundred miles. In this case, it is impossible for any Aden fleet to appear in the Inland Sea area, unless the Adenians can enter the Eero River Channel from the misty sea, and then from The big river channel enters the inland sea. "Dustrenkai's voice pauses, and his mouth smiles bitterly." To be honest, this is the last thing I want to see. If this guess is correct, it means that we will attack the south of Eero this time. , It is very likely to encounter the Adenian fleet, that is to say, His Majesty’s plan to secretly cross the misty sea to attack the Gulf of Aden will not be carried out, and the environment in the south of Eero is said to be extremely harsh. The army is deeply trapped in it, it will be very The troublesome thing"
"And don’t you think that Hu Keqili, the princes of southern Eero have spent a little longer in the south of the capital of Eero?" Dustromka said sharply, suddenly said
"The princes in the south of Eero are not unified, and no one will become the main force to attack the capital of Eero... It seems to be the case." Hu Keqili was slightly stunned. Although he was the minister of the Imperial Army, he was in the Southern War. He was in charge of the movement of the army in Dijing, and he only knew about the direction of the war, so he did not notice anything wrong in it.
"I have led the imperial navy in the southern waters of this empire in the southern wars, and what I have seen and heard does not seem to be the same. The southern princes of Eero are indeed not internally unified, but there are obviously 200,000 troops but they are just making small fuss. , There is not even a decent attack, just a disunity is really difficult to explain, in my personal view, in fact, I am more inclined to another kind of saying "Dusit's voice stopped, hesitated
"Another argument, did the Commander-in-Chief hear anything?" Hu Keqili frowned slightly.
"It is true that some rumors have been heard saying that the princes in southern Eero did not attack, but were waiting for the empire to go south, to meet the empire in the south of Eero." Dusterenka looked at the sea level in the distance. , Ning Sheng said, "Since the end of the war in the Holy Land of the Order, there has been a saying in the south that no one can defeat your majesty in the imperial area, and there is absolutely no chance of fighting against your majesty in the imperial control area. Overturned on the West Coast of the Empire-controlled Jersey, overnight, even with the sturdy Martins and as many as half a million troops, the ecclesiastical state under the Empire control was strangled by a small river, so he wanted to defeat His Majesty. The only way to do this is in non-imperial areas"
"Is there such a saying?" Hu Keqili raised his eyebrows, his face couldn't help but change. He was the first person in the Empire Army and the confidant of the Empire Emperor. He didn't know how many wars were fought if he followed him. Who said that he best understands the fighting style of His Majesty the Emperor is naturally his Hu Keqili, the Emperor is known as the first person in the layout of the mainland strategy, the warlord of the battle, because the Emperor never fights on an unfamiliar battlefield. The opponent who was killed by the emperor was basically deliberately dragged into his layout by the emperor, which to some extent also confirmed the authenticity of this rumor
It is impossible to defeat the emperor in the battlefield chosen by the emperor, but if it is not the battlefield chosen by the emperor, it may not be possible to fight the emperor!
It's just that the southern princes of Eero should not have thought of this. If there are people with such excellent eyes in the southern princes, then they will not be suppressed by the Eero royal family for decades. The biggest possibility is that the source of this word comes from Aden. , The Adenian fleet was able to cross the sea of ​​mist, which means that the southern princes of the Eero Empire may have joined forces with the Kingdom of Aden
It is conceivable that all kinds of military assistance from the Kingdom of Aden, even the Aden army itself has arrived in the south of Eero, where a large net opened there, waiting for the imperial army to self-inject the net. The climate in the south of Eero is harsh, and Two-thirds of the area is loess and desert, and if the imperial army is unprepared, plunge into it, there is a great possibility of a fiasco!
Because just the logistics of the army is an extremely difficult problem
Although the northern part of Hérault has the most fertile land in southern Baro, but since the ravages of the squadrons, there is only one year between them. Even if it is restored, to what extent can it be restored, I want to support the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops. It's okay to have a quick battle and a quick decision. It is completely impossible to fight a confrontation! Not to mention that the main force of the navy still has to cross the misty sea, striking the Gulf of Aden thousands of miles away, mobilizing more than eighty naval warships, and even more than two hundred and sixty transport ships, all of which require huge material support. There are also three regiments as marines landing in the Gulf of Aden, with a total of 4,970 officers and soldiers, and a large amount of equipment, which are installed in a total of 87 large transport ships.
How to support a northern part of Eero, which has not been restored? Hu Keqili requested Dustrunkai to report the situation to the emperor immediately, and in the report that Aden might have joined forces with the southern princes of Eero, Dustrunkai immediately dispatched a Dragon Tooth warship to catch up at the fastest speed. To the back of the inland sea
"Your Majesty should be able to see this report two days later, but before that, we had to face a problem"
Dusterenkai smirked. He didn’t know that the Adenites might spend the sea of ​​mist, but he didn’t know it, but there was no definite evidence, and the emperor’s military order was issued. If at this time, the Imperial Navy reported a copy of Aden People may have crossed the sea of ​​fog first. The emperor’s plan to go south is extremely dangerous, that is, hitting the emperor’s face naked, but if he took Hu Keqili, the imperial military minister, it was another matter. The effectiveness of the Imperial Secretary of the Army and the Secretary of the Navy in writing together is definitely much better than the unilateral writing of the Navy, and this is just speculation! The emperor will never punish the two together!
The storm is finally here, no need to look at Dusterenkai's conspiracy face, Hu Keqili also knows what the problem is, he is not a fool, there are so many unexpected things, the wind starts to blow his ears At the sound of the um, and it got bigger and bigger, big raindrops began to hit the face, from the beginning of the cold, soon became a whip like a whip, a strong gust of wind across the deck, can be easily The wooden stool weighing twenty pounds was blown up and down, and all the debris on the deck fell into the sea under the baptism of the storm. The sails had long been lowered, and all movable materials were fixed by thick ropes. The most experienced captain personally took the helm.
"In the storm, the most terrible thing is not the wind, nor the waves, but all kinds of debris on the ship. If you and I are still on the deck, then it is thankful not to be killed." Dusterenkai walked to At the corner of the cabin, he picked up the wine bottle and took out a glazed wine glass from the wine cabinet.
The sky was completely dark, even the huge dragon-class warship, it was also shaken by the swell of the huge waves, but the amplitude of the shake was still acceptable, Hu Keqili as the army's heavy minister, the blood of the dead mountains The battlefield is not uncommon. It was the first time that a storm was encountered in the sea. He stood brightly at the cabin window and watched the scraped cables on the deck outside the window resemble giant octopus tentacles flying in the wind, just like life. Everything bumps into things,
"The Aden fleet should have been destroyed by such a storm. The difference is that they had bad luck and hit the eye of the storm, and we are only on the periphery. When the storm passes, I believe that more Aden hulls will be found. The wrecked "Dustromkay" took a leisurely sip and sipped the rum in his hand, even in the rocking cabin, still standing steadily, as if the two legs were completely nailed to the deck, it seemed At this moment, instead of standing under the turbulent waves, but watching the scenery on the smooth grass, the waves are getting bigger and bigger, the waves are constantly rushing to the bow, and then smashing through the deck, all the items on the deck that can be washed away The whole wave swept into the sea. The wave was only two meters high at the beginning, then gradually developed to three meters, and finally reached almost four meters. The huge waves rushed one by one on the side of the battleship, and a powerful impact erupted
The heavy hull is like a toddler in front of a giant, the inclination of the hull is more than one third
The heavy tonnage and huge size of the Dragon-class battleship, as long as the sails are retracted and set in the right direction, although it is violently bumpy, it is also dangerous. However, the smaller Dragontooth battleships were not so lucky. Under the impact of the waves, the ups and downs were ups and downs. The first thing that the storms hit was them. The violent storms that swept across the sea brought tremendous waves, and the heavy slammed down. Almost every Longya battleship was basically soaked in the sea water. Like a building block floating in the waves, it was lifted up by the waves for a while, and it seemed to be sent to the sky, even the bottom of the ship was off the sea; after a while, it was thrown down heavily, and it seemed to have sunk into the sea, with the top of the mast I can't see it anymore. It took me a long time to float out, all covered with flowing seawater. The auxiliary masts of some Dragon Tooth battleships were also broken. The broken mast was floating in the sea water, and whoever hit it would give a pole, making a banging bang, like a knock on everyone's atrium.
Between the sky and the ground, there was black pressure, lightning, and thunder. After an hour, the sky outside started to brighten again, and the amplitude of the shaking hull became much smaller.
Dustroenkai put down the glass in his hand. I don't know if he had thoughts. If he felt, Dustroenca suddenly raised his head sensitively and looked at the location of the lookout. The top of the mast is constantly waving a bright red dazzling red flag. He glanced again, only to see that the lookout whistle on all the Dragon Tooth battleships outside the fleet was violently waving a small red flag. At this moment, Hu Keqili obviously felt that Dusteren was still a leisurely face. Kai's momentum has completely changed, and it feels like a fierce beast waking up from a deep sleep, and Dusterenkai's mouth even shows a smile
"Have you caught it?"
"What's wrong?" Hu Keqili asked curiously.
"Unexpected joy, you'll know it later" Dustronky said to Hu Cochli while walking towards the cabin door. When he opened the door, his face was awkward, and he coldly said, "Notify the ships and prepare to fight!"
"Dang Dang Dang!" The piercing alarm sounded suddenly, and it was particularly piercing in the wind and rain that had not completely calmed down. The navy sailors who were originally hiding in the cabin ran to their positions, the falling sails were quickly pulled up again, the sea breeze slammed into it, and the dragon-class battleship was printed with the imperial navy mark up to more than 20 meters of mast, immediately A huge piece of hemisphere was bulged, which was the form of full expansion of the sail. When the huge dragon-class battleship began to enter at full speed, the sea was like a rolling white circle.
"Upper left front direction" Dustron Kay's lieutenant reached out and pointed out the direction
Dusterenkai raised the look-up mirror in his hand to look at the sea in the upper left corner. In the rainy curtain, more than ten warships with black sails appeared quickly, rising like a meniscus bow, a triangle in pursuit of speed The fast sailing ship is fast, almost rushing towards the imperial navy fleet like a string of arrows. The shape of these sailing fast ships is almost the same color as the broken hull found before, dark black, this color The first impression of the hull of the ship is pirates, but these black warships are obviously not pirates, because the blue and silver stars and moons intertwine on the mast of this warship.
"It was the Navy of Aden, ordered to open the artillery board, and the artillery was prepared." Just a glance, Dusterenkai made a judgment. The Navy of Aden really returned to the Inland Sea again, and it appeared at the estuary of the River Elero! As the order was issued, the huge size of the Dragon-class battleship began to turn. At the same time, regardless of the impact of the wind and waves, the three-level gun deck like a dragon scale was turned over, and the gunners opened the portholes, and the naval Thor’s muzzle was Launched from the inside, the dark-colored muzzle began to rotate neatly in the direction of the upper left corner. Around the Dragon-class flagship, eight dragon-tooth battleships emerged from the waves like swords.
"Navy Aden!"
Hu Keqili saw this scene, his pupils shrunk a little, he did not expect Dusterenkai to really find the Adenians by following the storm, although the Aden navy warship in front of him looked a bit broken, it should be in the storm I was injured, but the moment the Imperial Fleet was discovered, the opponent did not choose to flee, but confronted! Hu Keqi took a deep breath. This is the home of the Imperial Navy. As long as he is an army minister, he just needs to watch it. He reached out and wiped the rain on his face. It was such a kung fu, a very fast empire. The Longya battleship has already encountered the sail boat of the Aden Navy,
This is the Aden Navy that once occupied the Gulf of Aden and the Aden navy that once brought the waters of southern Centralbia under control! Sure enough, it's a little emboldened! Hu Keqili murmured, the imperial navy is a recognized hegemon in the inland sea area, and no other navy has dared to confront the imperial navy, and perhaps only the Adenians dare to fight
Rumbling, rumbling, accompanied by bursts of thunder, Longya battleships opened fire one after another, bursts of rain fell directly in front of the Aden navy, blasting the waves up to more than ten meters high water column, nearly lost bullets The power of the Aden navy's warships had to slow down. Rumbling, the fire was skyward, it was the Aden navy battleship that rushed to the front was directly hit by the two matching dragon-tooth battleships, and the incendiary bomb exploded at once, immediately putting this Aden sail fast warship deck All the items and the ship's deck shattered and shattered, and the flaming hull rolled in the wind and waves, and there were constantly black dots jumping into the sea
"Don’t underestimate the Adenites. Although the incendiary bombs of the Aden Navy are not as good as the Thor of my empire, they are still quite powerful weapons. In terms of sailors, the Aden Navy is not under the sailors of our empire."
Dusterenkai next to him said to Hu Keqili~EbookFREE.me~ still gazing at the dragon-tooth battleship that had been bitten in the distance, Hu Keqili suddenly felt a fierce burst from his feet, a huge film The roaring sound of Hu Keqili felt like he was standing in a volcanic eruption, the salvo of the Dragon class battleship, and the huge anti-seismic force even made the huge Dragon class hull on the sea. Displaced, moving a few meters to the side, the dense shells quickly raised a large number of water columns on the side of an Aden sail warship, three consecutive sail warships were hit and caught fire, and the ship deck was violently blown into the sky, burning The battleship was also submerged by several large waves, and since then disappeared under the dark surface of the sea, their original position was only the debris floating with the waves and the bodies of people.
However, these Aden warships are still desperately advancing, and the Adenite incendiary bombs are not weak, and a large piece of whistling hits, densely raising countless water columns on the side of the Longya battleship, making the waves more boiling. After losing several ships in a row, the Aden warship glide like a flying bird from the side of the Imperial Dragon Tooth battleship, but it was extremely flexible to maneuver, and the high-rising meniscus bow looked like a flexible loach. Avoided the flying artillery,
Seeing this scene, Hu Keqili's brows were twisted together. He didn't understand the naval warfare, but it did not hinder his judgment of the situation. The Aden naval battleship in front of him was more like a charge, more like a death, These Aden navies are either covering up, or they are covering up the escape, but unfortunately they found out a little later
