Chapter 214, naval battle (2)
"Yes, I heard about this news on the island for a few days." Mitsuki Tanjōse.
"Then why don't you tell me in the camp?" Erikson asked.
"There is a saying in the empire that those who are virtuous live in it, and some people have no power or power. If they say it in the camp, they will probably be missed by others. I just hope that the adults will not forget me after obtaining the treasure." Tan Zhongshiguang licked his lips.
"Well, you still have some knowledge, but we must immediately board the 6 islands, and those fleeing miscellaneous people cannot let them go. I passed on my order, and the troops were divided into two groups, and ordered Alonso, the thousand-strong commander of Sisley, to be the temporary commander, and to lead three thousand people in his country to control the pirate's nest. The rest of them pursued the remaining enemies with me and spread the glory for my god." Erikson ordered, with a righteous expression on his face, but he left the task of plundering treasures to his own family.
"Your Excellency is wise! Sir, in order to prevent the Sisleys from occupying all the benefits of the island, I voluntarily apply to go to their place to monitor them." Tanzhin Sekiri bowed.
"Well, yes, I'll send you a small boat to you. It seems that Archbishop Rembrandt's words make some sense, but this Eastern Japanese are quite sensible. They are also quite smart. You can consider treating him better in the future. As for those treasures, whether they are divided or not, it depends on your mood." Erikson looked at the obedient Tan Zhongshikawa and nodded with satisfaction.
"Death Sea? It seems that the rumored sea area really exists. I hope you are smart enough to think of setting up an ambush there. I have helped you. The rest depends on your own ability." Tanzaka Shikami said inwardly.
~~~~~~~~
"Can this guy Erikson be so kind? Give us the chance to capture the pirate's lair? He also sent the Archbishop's men to my ship, clearly trying to monitor me." On the temporary flagship of the Western Union Navy, the Sisley Kingdom Navy, the Sisley commander Alonso led the opponent.
At this moment, Tanzaka Shikami had already arrived on their flagship in a small boat. Of course, Tanaka consciously did not participate in their command operation, but stood on the deck and watched Erikson's fleet stay away.
"But most of the pirates had indeed fled to the east just now. There should be not many enemies on Snake Island now, so we can just take down the nests of these pirates." A staff officer analyzed.
"Sir, what do you think?" Alonso asked a man beside him who was covered in a cloak.
"Your Excellency, the Archbishop must have given them some explanation. Since there is anything attracting Erikson in the east, let him go. And now our army has an absolute advantage, even if it is on the island, it's okay. Just be careful that they have ambushed." The man said leisurely, but his eyes were fixed on Tian Zhongshiguang who was standing on the railing in the distance.
"Ambushes? There are only a thousand pirates on Snake Island. If you remove those driven by Eriksen, it would be nice to have 300 people on the island. Our army will be worried if one of them is ten enemies!" Alonso said.
"Everything is up to you, you must follow Lord Jose sincerely. Even Rembrandt can't do anything to you." The man said leisurely.
After saying that, the man turned around and looked at the Snake Island in the distance, and said to himself: "They all said you were assassinated, but I don't believe it. Zhuge Ting, you must give me an explanation in the future!"
~~~~~~~~
Soon, the Western Allied Forces divided into two groups, chasing most of the small boats that were pirates from the Sea Snake Gang went east, but one quickly moved closer to the shore, and Zunbenden 6.
Seeing that the fleet led by Alonso easily boarded the beach, the pirates who fled to Snake Island did not even have the courage to resist. They continued to run towards the woods on the island. Eriksen on the sea far away cursed: "This time I will take a big advantage for you Sisleys, but you can't think of sharing this treasure."
When he thought of the golden treasure in the distance, Erikson's pirate blood boiled and immediately shouted: "All army is added!"
"Sir, if you sail east, it will be against the wind now!" a staff officer said carefully.
"Then I'll go down and row my boat. I can't catch up with the enemy. You all jump into the sea and take a shower, damn miscellaneous people." Erikson said angrily.
Sure enough, there were many people and strong forces. In order not to touch Erikson's bad head, sailors on the deck went down for more than half. Driven by oars, the boat was moving against the wind, but it was getting faster and faster, while the pirate boat in front was gradually being chased.
But now it is because of the wind, the distance between the bow and arrow shooting has been greatly shortened, otherwise Erikson would have ordered thousands of arrows to go together.
However, the pirates who landed on the last few pirate ships were very panicked and actually touched the reef. Several pirates jumped into the sea in panic, rescued by the small boat next to them, and continued to flee.
This scene made Eriksen laugh out loud on the Storm, and he further strengthened the belief that these pirates were just some mobs. As for the so-called impact just now, it was just a temporary courage.
~~~~~~~~
"Have the enemy attracted?" Lei Dongfeng asked, looking at the misty sea in the distance.
"It's still more than ten miles away, but it's very fast, and you can reach it in half an hour." Chen Chong said.
"Okay, tell your brothers to prepare the turtle oil barrels. After the Western fleet fully enters, sprinkle all the turtle in the outer reef gaps, so we can catch the turtle in a jar." Lei Dongfeng said.
"Don't worry, sir, I will lead the team to attack later, so they will definitely be in trouble." Chen Chong said.
"Brother Lei, this plan is all your arrangements, but there are no omissions. I think the Western Cong is doomed." Li Ruoxi said lightly.
At this moment, this girl was wearing pirate costumes, with ink on her face, and she couldn't see her usual cold and elegant appearance.
This is also to cover up people's eyes. Especially, He Guangting on Snake Island cannot be suspicious. For this reason, on Snake Island, there is a princess of the East Wo as Lu Zhenzhi, pretended to be a maid, sitting in the cave.
This can be said to be the first time that Lei Dongfeng has made the most comprehensive arrangement of a war strategically after he came to another world. From geographical planning, to command and dispatch, and to the final hammer blow, Lei Dongfeng was confident in his plan, but his palms were still a little wet at this moment.
Xiao Lei was born in a cavalry, went to military academy, and learned the systematic 6th Army strategy, but he really knew nothing about naval battles. If it weren't for Chen Chong and the others' support, this naval battle would have really been impossible.
Now, looking around, the sea of death is indeed very strange. It is only a few dozen nautical miles in a radius, but it is misty all year round. Moreover, the sea is full of reefs, and the waves on the sea are not alarmed, and it is even a bit dead. However, undercurrents are everywhere under the sea, and reefs contain infinite murderous intent.
What’s even more peculiar is that no matter what kind of compass comes here, the compass will turn around and lose the ability to distinguish directions.
Jiang Zhuying and others were all amazed when they saw this situation. Chen Chong, the pirate leader who had entered this place, actually looked solemn and said, "The God of Sea is at work."
But as a modern person, Lei Dongfeng naturally knew that this was caused by abnormal magnetic interference nearby. As for the specific interference source, it was difficult to judge. The biggest possibility was that the nearby was rich in iron ore.
But this environment is suitable for ambushing the huge fleet of the Western coalition forces. If the plan to cook the sea with turbulent oil can be implemented smoothly, it will be a natural cemetery for these people.
At this moment, Jiang Zhuying and others had already taken more than 300 pirates, and according to the deployment, they embarked on more than 30 small boats and ambushed to the shade of the reefs outside the Death Sea. In the middle of the Death Sea, a fleet of more than ten large warships of the Sea Snake Gang was docking in the middle of the sea, attracting the Western coalition fleet into the cemetery.
Lei Dongfeng looked at the pocket watch in his hand. Half an hour had passed, and there was still no movement in the distance, but the fog became stronger.
"Here you come." Chen Chong suddenly said softly.
I saw a shadow suddenly appear in the mist in the distance. The warships of the Western Alliance were as big as mountains, and the ones running ahead were the small sampans of pirates led by Huang Yishan, the leader of the Sea Snake Gang.
The sound of surging waves kept coming, making people feel shocked.
"Everyone, prepare!" With the order, undercurrents surged in the seemingly calm sea area.
~~~~~~~~
"Sir, there's fog in front of you." The Navy chief in charge of looking out shouted on the mast.
"It's early morning, and it's normal to fog. There is an island ahead, and the last base of the pirates should be on the island." The staff officer looked at the map and said.
"It's just that the compass is a bit abnormal..." the staff officer said again.
"Damn the baggage camp, give the best compass to the sea blue people. Okay, the island is right in front of you, just pay attention to recording the channel signs. Order each ship to follow the enemy ships, whoever is the first to board the enemy's base will reward the thousand gold." Erikson shouted.
"Yes." The messenger beside him ran away immediately.
"Sir, an enemy fleet appeared in front of you." Soon, the captain shouted again.
"The enemy's last base is indeed here. It seems that these are the last battleships of these pirates!" Erikson looked at the camera with a thousand-mile mirror. About seven or eight hundred meters away, there could be vaguely seen more than a dozen larger sailboats being parked in the sea water, and a few miles behind it was an island.
"Plus, rush up!" Erikson shouted.
"Sir, you need to be careful of the reefs." The staff officer next to him said.
"Reef? It's so far from the shore here. Where can I get the reef? I rushed up and started to throw stones closer, and then prepared to board the ship to fight. Let these miscellaneous people see how powerful our Reed Sea Overlord is!" Eriksen shouted.
Compared with the floating icebergs and cruel natural conditions in the West 6 Ice Sea, this sea area is just a little fog but not shocked by waves, which is really suitable for navigation.
Soon, the huge trench was transported to the deck and began to aim at the pirate ships in the distance in constant ups and downs.
Erikson raised his hand and waved it heavily. The flag leader on the mast immediately raised the flag and passed the flag words to the ships.
Chapter completed!
