0184 brother, clear accounting
The sea of anger is flowing and the clouds are flying.
With the ups and downs of the waves, the hull shook slightly. Tang Feng, the general of Dingxi, stood in the bow of the flagship ship, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the Shanghai Gull on the mast. The damp sea breeze with a faint fishy smell passed by strongly. The white cloak and robe fluttered in the wind, enjoying the rare calm before the war.
On the wide sea, Gu Xiaodao and Tang Yi's command ship flagship left and right wings and move forward through the waves. In addition to these three large sea ships, more than 600 smaller sea ships also traveled between the sea and the sea and the sky, with smooth wind and water, with great momentum.
For this expedition, in addition to pulling out the three large tonnage warships moored in "Chang Qingdao" and have not been submerged, Tang Feng forcibly requisitioned all the official ships and civilian ships within the jurisdiction of the Dingxi Army. After being supervised by Gu Xiaodao, thousands of shipowners recruited by force from various places rushed to work day and night and transformed into a slight scale. Used for naval battle ships.
"Right wing, seven merchant ships were found!" The watchtower shouted, and the sentry ships sailing on the sea level line in front of the starboard hung the warning flag in no particular order.
Tang Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his heart suddenly moved, and said loudly, "Order, Tang Yichang, commander, right wing fleet, speed up!" Full sail! We must seize the wind position! Order the left-wing Mr. Gu to move closer to me!"
Although the other side is only seven merchant ships, it is difficult to accurately predict the real number and strength of the enemy fleet in different marine battles. Therefore, Tang Feng believes that it is necessary to concentrate 20 or 30 warships at least half of the fleet.
Tang Feng ordered the left-wing ships to move closer, because the fleet should be as thin as possible to control the widest sea area and avoid being ambushed by enemy warships. However, it is necessary to get closer and strengthen the alert density before launching the battle, so as to effectively form a fist and defeat the other party with overall combat power. .
stationed on the "Galo" coastline all year round. Although Tang Feng's "Dingxi Army" has a complete set of dispatching methods such as flags, lights and drum corners for dispatching command, the situation in actual combat is changing rapidly, and it is still difficult for the fleet commanders to accurately command the ships, so before entering the battle, they moderately gather and shrink The distance between ships is still a relatively reliable practice.
In sea operations, it is basically necessary to arrange a long snake formation before taking over the battle to seize the favorable position, so that the fleet commander can grasp the situation according to the progress of the battle; the side at a disadvantage is naturally relatively difficult to move under the influence of the headwind.
"The right-wing warships have taken over the war, and the other seven merchant ships are flying under the banner of the 'Montenegro family'." The lookout shouted again.
The sails were full of the sea breeze, and the flagship speed increased again, causing waves to attack the hull fiercely. At this time, the warships that Gu Xiaodao belonged to had turned one after another, as if they were hungry wolves.
Less than an hour later, when the "Western Army" gradually approaching the left, right, middle and rear four war ships jumped out of the sea level line aggressively, the seven Montenegrin merchant ships in the telescope were obviously a little panicked.
The modified warship has strengthened its practicality in both the sense and the bottom of the ship. Its speed and flexibility are not comparable to that of heavy-duty merchant ships. Any merchant ship will inevitably panic when it suddenly sees hundreds of merchant ships.
"It doesn't look like a vicissman's military reconnaissance ship." Tang Feng put down his binoculars and exhaled a sigh of relief: "Just separate the right wing, and the rest of the warships will keep their formation and continue to march towards the barbarian island."
"Yes." The lookout quickly raised the flag.
The fleet didn't travel far. Gu Xiaodao swam to the slum, jumped in white, and boarded the ship and said, "There is a situation ahead. The indigenous people of the barbarian islands have sensed our movement and intention. They have united more than a thousand large and small fishing boats. The heads and tails are connected. There are many dragonflies, snakes, birds, mackerel and other exotic orcs on the ship, armed with bamboo bows, wooden spears and other weapons. , there is a big fish dead net broken.
"These stupid and ignorant savages ordered the whole team to meet them and let them know the strength of our 'Western Army' ship!" Tang Feng laughed.
At this time, the commander of the right-wing fleet came up and reported, "Son, the seven merchant ships of the Black Mountain family have been taken."
"So fast? Are there any casualties?" Tang Feng asked with some surprise.
Tang Yi, who was black and thin, replied, "I only hurt more than 20 people and broke six brothers. Those ideas of the 'black clothes club' are fierce and stubborn, and my hands are very hard!" With a ferocious pleasure on his face, Tang Yi continued: "The female slave full of seven ships-" made several people laugh and looked at the muffled Geng with ambiguous eyes and tried to resist the smile.
"All the men of the Black Mountain family were killed and thrown into the sea to feed sharks. If you like any of those female slaves, you can stay and use them for the time being. The rest of the female slaves sent a team of fine brothers back to send 'Galo' to Lord Gu and the 'Wolf Du' for a deal, and tell the lord that brothers and settle accounts clearly. When negotiating the price with the stinky girl An Yichen, be sure to raise the price to the maximum. Higashino robbed the whole 'Windwing Kingdom', and now it's very fat. Tang Feng smiled and then said:
"Well, don't gossip. We don't have time to cherish the fragrance and pity jade. Those self-powerful barbarians have stretched out their necks waiting for our sabers. Today, we will calm down the angry sea of barbarians. Do you understand?" With that, Tang Fengjun's face showed fierceness, and his eyes were full of strong greed and hope, and the bloody smell in his tone emanated unabashed.
"I understand!" Gu Xiaodao, Tang Yi and others responded loudly.
The warship chased and the waves flew.
The gloomy murderous atmosphere permeates the sea, and a fierce battle is imminent. The artillery of the three main warships had already filled with ammunition, and the black barrel was waiting to protrude from the porthole to spray flames.
In addition to the shouts of military orders and retelling military orders on each follow-up warship, there is only the sound of warships quickly rowing away the sea, the waves rolling, and the sound of the sea breeze blowing sails.
In naval warfare, generally speaking, the party at a disadvantage in the number of ships always tends to protect their ships and is unwilling to suffer from hard combat easily. Therefore, the party who has developed this habitual tendency prefers to attack on the downwind side of the enemy ships. In this way, once the war is unfavorable, they can also quickly escape from the wind. Away from the warring sea.
In common sense, the warships of both sides are trying their best to seize the upper position. The indigenous barbarians who have lived on overseas desert islands for generations are mostly engaged in fishing and hunting, cave nests, mixed men and women, and thrive. They have no quarrel with the world. When they found that there were a large number of hostile armed ships near the islands, they temporarily dispatched their respective barbarians. All the large and small fishing boats on the island tried to protect their homes from malicious damage from the outside world. There was no way to fight at all. Seeing that their own fleet was weak, the indigenous barbarians simply abandoned wooden weapons and were eager to get out of the other party's attack range, while Tang Feng dispatched the ships to follow closely.
The pursuit and annihilation has lasted for three hours, and it is getting late. The situation is actually unfavorable to the indigenous barbarians. The two fleets of Gu Xiaodao and Tang Yig are encircling and intercepting them from the far sea, and the scope of maritime activities of the indigenous barbarians is constantly shrinking.
Tang Feng was determined to eat these islanders and exchange these innocent young men and women for huge profits from the wolves in urgent need of human resources. Each main battleship with about ten warships is listed as a wave of vertical attack. Each time, only one warship bombards the barbarian fishing boats with side artillery fire, and the rest of the ships are busy loading ammunition. One ship has finished firing, and the second ship relays firing, one after another, giving the barbarians no time to breathe.
After a fierce artillery fire defeated the will of the panicked barbarians to resist, a shout of excitement sounded. More than 20 warships commanded by Gu Xiaodao, relying on the speed of the hull, once again grabbed a favorable upper position in the pursuit at sea. They were pressing down the wind and quickly approached the island * military fleet to take the initiative in the naval battle. The power is in his own hands.
"Well done!" Tang Feng applauded excitedly, and the self-leading middle fleet was like a long snake, setting up a column, sailing forward quickly, and bombarding the islanders' fleet that had lost their spirit.
From the beginning of the battle, the artillery fire of the "Western Army" warships has carried out continuous and precise strikes on the masts and sail cables of the barbarian fishing boats. As the flagship three large ships equipped with heavy artillery in the bow, they played an unimaginable role and quickly destroyed the masts and sail cables of several barbarian fishing boats and cut them off. The possibility of the other party escaping with the wind.
"Order the ships to shell the barbarian ship's hull, sink or destroy it, and force those barbarians to go to sea for surrender." General Dingxi's order made the gunners of each ship very excited and the fire was extremely fierce.
The sea was filled with gunpowder smoke, drums roared, cannons rumbled, and heavy solid iron bullets roared out. The fallen iron bombs splashed high columns of water, and the sea seemed to be burning.
The fierce artillery fire of the "Dingxi Army" has caused this islanders to lose most of their combat effectiveness from the beginning. Both the captain and ordinary fishermen have been frightened, people's hearts are shaken, and their morale has plummeted.
The destroyed barbarian fishing boats are sinking rapidly, and the indigenous orcs that fell into the water are like dumplings. Smoke spewed out from the starboard of the ship, quickly spreading, covering the view, and the roaring sound of cannon echoing on the sea.
" Grab the barbarian ship and kill it!" Tang Feng shouted excitedly, and the battle began to enter a short-to-military melee. The "Dingxi Army" bullied each other and jumped to the barbarian fishing boat to fight in blood, venting their wild fierceness.
The indigenous people who were stunned and killed by several rounds of fierce artillery fire surrendered one after another. Tang Feng on the deck stared at his blood-red eyes and laughed wildly and said, "We have made a fortune!"
