Chapter 213, naval battle (1)

On the fifth day of May 999, the sky was just dawning, and a huge naval joint fleet of the Western Alliance, composed of more than a hundred warships, appeared on distant sea levels.

The brilliance of the rising sun splashed on the sea surface, reflecting the entire sea surface into a magnificent surface. And the huge fleet rushed towards Snake Island like chips on the golden plate, with an irresistible arrogance.

"It's finally here." At this moment, on Snake Island, Lin Qingping looked at the fleet like ant colony in the distance and said coldly. Then he waved his hand, and the Han soldiers beside him pretending to be the guards of the Eastern Japanese immediately lit a pile of beacon fires, and the rolling smoke rose into the sky.

The next moment, on the east side of Snake Island, facing the Western Alliance, hundreds of small single-mast sailboats rushed to the west like arrows.

~~~~~~~~

"Your Excellency, there is Snake Island ahead." On the flagship Storm of the Western Alliance Fleet, the Western Union Fleet, Tanjū, dressed in a black monk's uniform and a silver mask, said respectfully to the commander of the Navy of the Kingdom of Reed and the commander of the tenement of the tenement.

"Well, it's very good. The messenger ordered the whole army to advance, and let these miscellaneous people taste the power of our Reed Navy." Eriksen said proudly.

This time, the Western coalition expedition was not organized at the beginning. After Pope Urban II personally expeditioned, he brought 70,000 naval forces from West 6, which were composed of the Western 6 maritime powers, the Kingdom of Reed and the Kingdom of Sea Blue. (The 30,000 people from the Sea Blue Kingdom restrained the Imperial Navy in Zhenhai, the 10,000 navies of the Kingdom of Sisley and the 30,000 navies of the Kingdom of Reed followed Urban to the sea of ​​Wanghai).

The reason why the Navy of the Sea Blue Kingdom was left to fight against the Navy of the Han Empire was that the Han army of the Sea Blue Kingdom was called "the coachman on the sea" in the West and was the leader of the Navy of the West.

Of course, the title of the best navy is certainly resentful to the navy of the Kingdom of Sisley and Reed.

Especially Eriksen, who is responsible for commanding troops to attack Snake Island today, is even more resentful.

In the Kingdom of Reed, because the Reed Tomahawks were also a famous strong army in the West 6, they have always competed for favor with the Reed Navy. The powerful Reed Navy's status in China is not as good as the navy of Sisley and Hailan in China. These make the arrogant Reed Navy unbearable, especially the young and strong people like Eriksen were resentful.

You should know that the navy of the Kingdom of Reed was once a famous king in the West 6, known as the Ice Sea Pirates. A group of pirates who can still be arrogant in the harsh ice sea, which shows its extraordinaryness.

As early as when the Kingdom of Reed was still ruled by the Odin gods, there was a group of the most fierce pirates on the entire Great Sixth Highway in that area. The Odin gods sent people to clear them out several times, but they all returned in failure.

The Odin tribe was destroyed by the Holy Holy Church. After the huge country established by the tribe was divided, the new kingdom of Reed controlled that area of ​​sea, and their navy was established based on these incorporated pirates.

After the establishment of the Reed Navy, in addition to the daily battles for the Reed Kingdom, they often enjoy plundering on weekdays.

In fact, the kings of the Western 6 countries have issued legal plundering procedures for their own country's naval or private fleets, and in the Western 6 people call it a "privation permit". The target of plundering is warships and caravans of hostile countries.

Under the influence of this trend, the practical experience of the Western 6 navy was significantly stronger than that of the Imperial Navy.

The Reed Navy is the leader among the group of pirates wearing legal cloaks. Other navies, such as the Sisley Navy, mainly work on national combat and caravan escort.

However, the Reed Navy drifted on the vast sea of ​​ice for 365 days a year, and wanted to rob passing business travelers.

This time, the Red Navy participated in the coalition's western expedition and sent one-third of the domestic navy, and they were all elites who participated in robbery operations all year round.

Today, the ten thousand naval forces commanded by Erikson are also honorary titled "Royal Sea Lion". They are the elite of the Reed Navy. Among them, the flagship Storm was once the flagship of King Reed. This attack on Snake Island was an opportunity that Erikson got from Pope Urban II. The Ice Sea Pirate, a name that inherited the glory of his ancestors, made Erikson vow to establish supreme merit in the empire and return home in glory.

Of course, the Sisleys have always wanted to compete for the right to attack. After all, in their opinion, a group of pirates on the Little Snake Island is easy to deal with, and it is simply a merit given to the door. Such benefits are not enough for the Reds to take them away for nothing.

Therefore, in order to balance these relationships, Jose also sent more than 20 warships from the Sisleys, a total of 3,000 troops, led by a commander and dispatched by Eriksen.

The two armies had a total of 13,000 men and more than 100 large warships, quickly approaching Snake Island.

"The Westerners are powerful, but they are also disadvantages. Especially for the coalition soldiers who have just arrived in the empire, they all regard the empire as nothing. It's ridiculous..." Tanzhin Seiktsu looked at Erikson's proud expression, but laughed in his heart, but did not say it out loud.

"Tanaka, why haven't you gone down yet? The battle is about to begin. You go down and rest for an hour. Then go to the island to have tea." Erikson glanced at Tanjō Sei-Kō, who was still standing on the deck, and spoke with sarcasm.

Erikson is a typical nationalist. In his opinion, only the race near the north end of the West 6th that was close to the center of the Odin tribe was the best race in the world. He was a hundred bored with a guy like Tanzaka Sei-Ki who had unknown origin and even had the responsibility to monitor himself.

"So, thank you, I wish you, and I wish you the Lord to bless our army." Tan Zhongshiguang turned and got out of the cabin without hesitation.

"The pagans are pagans. Although they wear divine clothes, they are still so cowardly." Eriksen thought disdainfully.

~~~~~~~~

"Woo——" A loud horn continued to echo between the vast sea and the sky.

Then nearly a hundred small single-mast sailboats suddenly rushed out from one side of Snake Island and headed straight for the Western Allied Fleet in the distance.

"I really don't know if I should praise these yellow monkeys for their courage? Or should I feel sad for their stupid suicide. These miscellaneous fishing boats were sent to the battlefield. Are they all fools?" Eriksen, the commander of the naval commander of the Kingdom of Reed, looked at the hundreds of small boats on the sea in the distance and said disdainfully.

"Sir, will you attack directly?" a staff officer walked up to ask.

"Don't worry, when they get closer, I will crush all these flies and don't let them run away!" Eriksen said with a smile.

Although the boat was not large in size, it was as smooth as the sails were full, and the impact was very fast, and a few miles of sea route arrived in an instant.

"Sir, aren't you still shooting arrows? Do the soldiers need to prepare for boarding a ship to fight?" said the staff urgently.

"Can you still need to use bows and arrows to deal with these flies? My precious soldiers cannot waste here! I will rush over after being close to five hundred meters. I will sank them hard." Erikson yelled.

After a wave of flag verbs, nearly a hundred warships of the Western Alliance immediately rushed towards the ancient giant beasts, towards the small boats in front of them that looked like leaves.

These arrogant Navy really didn't even use bows and arrows, and just made a brutal attack.

"Change formation!" Huang Yishan, the leader of the Sea Snake Gang on the boat, saw the Western Alliance's large ship rushing over and immediately shouted.

When he was on the island, Jiang Zhuying told him that if he used these small boats to attack the coalition navy, then they would most likely choose to hit the target instead of laying bows and arrows, or even rockets.

So when I was wary of it, the pirates of the Sea Snake Gang quickly changed the direction of the ship. All the ships scattered in an instant, and then penetrated into the gaps of the ship like loaches.

Except for a few small boats that could not escape the crash, the other small boats dodged successfully.

During this period, the pirates on the boat continued to shoot rockets.

Although the Reed Navy had prepared for the fire-fighting sand and buckets, such harassment still made them miserable.

"Bastard, turn the rudder, archers shoot arrows, kill them!" Erikson finally gave up his pride and shouted.

But although the big ship is big, it is not easy to turn around. Especially these pirates, who have been surviving in this sea area all year round, naturally rushing around with the tide. The big ship has a deep draft and is even more affected by the turbulent undercurrents on the sea surface, making it even more difficult to turn the rudder.

The two canceled out, but the boat was even more like a fish in water. The Navy soldiers who played with the sound of the strange screams but could not do anything about it.

When the Red archer leaned over and exposed the side of the ship, the pirates below quickly drove the boat around the other side. When the big ship was covered with archers, the pirates had quickly left the range.

After a round of shooting, the pirate ship was silent. Although the Red warship was not damaged, the result obviously did not satisfy Erikson.

"Can't let them run away, chase me!" Seeing that the pirate's boat was about to run, Erikson immediately ordered.

At this time, the pirates' fleet suddenly changed their formation, one into two, and a team of more than 30 small boats fled towards the Snake Island, while a pair of more than 70 boats sailed to the east of Snake Island.

The most annoying thing was that the pirates were still standing on the boat, jumping and shouting loudly, poking and poking, obviously not taking the Reeds seriously.

"Please come over by Mr. Tanaka." Erikson shouted with a gloomy face.

"Your Excellency, are you asking me something to do?" Tanzhin Sei-Kika quickly got on the deck and said with a smile.

"Didn't you say that these pirates have our insides, and that he will help us fight? Why haven't they appeared yet?"

"Your Excellency, the inside line is just one of the gang leaders, but he can't be the master of all pirates. I think these pirates should be the main force of the Sea Snake Gang. They are also lucky and want to resist. As long as you command the army to eliminate these people, our inside line on Snake Island will naturally respond to us. Moreover, there is a pirate base in the east of Snake Island. Their main ships and the treasures plundered over the years are there. Now they want to attract the adults to climb to 6, and then the others take the opportunity to escape far away, but if the adults do it quickly enough..." Mitsuki Tanzhinaka said.
