3106 Mars Star Moon (1)
The setting sun shines on the coastline on the side of the strait, dragging out a long tilted line like a crescent moon. Countless sail masts bathed in the sunset. The beautiful dreamlike scene made the commander of the Aden Navy, Goodago, narrow the eyes of the commander of the Aden Navy, narrowed into a line. Even if you have seen such a scene dozens of times, the eyes of the old Aden Navy admiral was still full of a solemn gloss.
The golden strait in front of you is called "Mas Crescent Strait". For the Kingdom of Aden, this is the only way to lead from the Gulf of Aden to the Eastern Continent. At this moment, a general Aden in the uniform of the general Aden stood beside Goodyago, and his eyes swept through the huge width of the strait in front of you with sharp eyes. His voice was filled with a heavy sigh, "It's such a beautiful scene. Standing here and looking over, it's like seeing my Aden star and moon rise on the East Road. Goodyago Commander-in-Chief, this is the famous star and moon corridor among other people."
"That's right, because the Mas Crescent Moon Strait is similar to the stars and moons on the flag of the Kingdom of Aden, it also connects this narrow curve connecting the southern waters of Central Bia and the Aden Sea, and is called the Star and Moon Corridor." Hearing the unmodified praise of the general of Aden, the old admiral Goodyago had a rare smile on his face, and his old eyes flashed deeply and deeply.
"This is also a magical corridor that runs through the east. There are very few winds and waves on weekdays. The islands on both sides block the raging storms. The ships traveling in and out usually stop in the corridor. Even if they do not trade, they must replenish food and fresh water. The trade ships passing through the Aden Sea are from here, and they continuously carry various special products from southern Europe, diamonds, fine iron from the Obarro region, pearls from the Gulf of Aden region, and to the east wind continent to the east, even the most convenient
Yi's goods were at a sky-high price when they arrived in the Eastern continent. The people of Nanxi became the overlord of the Nanxi region because they mastered this golden corridor. Another reason why the Kingdom of Aden had to fight the Navy of the Nanxi Empire even if they took risks. In addition to breaking the blockade of the Nanxi Navy, they also needed to snatch this corridor from the Nanxi people at all costs. Otherwise, our Kingdom of Aden would have to be suppressed by the Nanxi Empire for a long time.
"Your Excellency is talking about the Battle of Mas Harbor? After the main force of the Nanxi Navy was destroyed, the Lu family of Aden attacked Mas Gulf with 50,000 soldiers. The kingdom god of war Duke Mago was personally commanded by Duke Kudmago. He fought fiercely for three days and three nights. Both sides were exhausted and could not make a breakthrough. It is said that in the end, Duke Kudmago sent all his two sons to the battlefield. This move greatly motivated the entire army. In the end, our army captured Mas Harbor, but Duke Kudmago's two
The sons were all killed in battle, but unfortunately, the Duke Kudmago, a generation of war gods, was like this... "The Army General stood beside him and sighed. It was Yi Ya who recommended himself at the meeting that the decision to attack Biya in the Kingdom of Aden has been completely launched. In the gap where all parties are nervously preparing, Yi Ya, the commander-in-chief of the Lu family's first attack echelon, personally found Goodyago and asked to come to this crucial Star Moon Corridor to take a look.
"It is very necessary to understand the situation in advance for the battlefield you are about to face."
Goodyago had no reason to refuse such a request, and he also accompanied him personally. During the process of getting along, Goodyago also discovered that the youngest new general of the Lu faction in the Kingdom did not have much prejudice against the navy. After a while of conversation, Yi Ya's voice paused and continued to say, "A duke family that has lost its outstanding heirs in succession, even if it was called the God of War by later generations, it would be difficult to escape the fate of decline. Since the fierce battle fifty years ago reached the top of the glory, after Duke Kudmago's death, the family has been divided due to internal struggles. The famous duke family has now become a small Count family in a remote area."
"Mas Centimony will always remember the sacrifices made by the Duke for the Kingdom! Just like you and I now, when we see this extremely beautiful crescent moon corridor, the first thing we think of was the battle of blood and corpses and seas!" Goodyago looked excited and retracted his gaze from a distance. "That was not only the Lu family's losses, but the navy also lost a generation of elites. Although the war suffered huge losses, it also brought me Aden to a strong rise for fifty years. Otherwise, it would be the world of the Nanxi Empire now."
"I heard that Nanxi and the Falcon Empire have secretly colluded with each other," Yi Ya hesitated for a moment. "In this case, the commander also asked the Central Bibleian squadron of the Navy to attack. Isn't he worried at all?"
"It's just a guess." The old admiral stared at the setting sun in the distance, and a hint of pride appeared on his old face. He had been worried, but now the remnants of Nanxi have run into the Devil's Reef. There has been no news for more than ten days. In fact, even if Nanxi really has contact with the empire, how much effect can it play? Since you want to see how powerful my navy is, then wait a few days. I believe there will be news that will soon be exciting to you. Although the size of a squadron was dispatched this time, it was the main fleet that my Aden navy spent decades of hard work. Whether it was the admiral of each ship or the commander I appointed myself, Mohamma, are definitely the leading commander within the navy. The war is imminent, and it is just a victory to inspire the whole army. You will definitely not disappoint you."
"In this way, I'm just waiting to see the navy return with victory."
Yi Ya saw that Gudeyago was full of confidence and said with a look of emotion. As the commander of the first echelon of the Lu family, he knew that once the Lu family boarded the transport ship, the life and death of tens of thousands of troops in the first echelon would be almost completely relied on the navy. This kind of thing cannot be taken for granted. In the past six months, the navy's retreat in the South China Sea region of Zhongbiya has also moved and worried, so he specially sent him to see the true strength of the kingdom navy.
Goodya also knew Yi Ya's mind. The squadron sent this time was so powerful. Goodya believed that even if he met the Imperial Navy, he would have the power to fight. Moreover, in Goodya's heart, Mohamed, who was born as the chief of staff, was a calm and thoughtful commander and admirals who fought against the Imperial Navy many times. Even if it was bad, how bad could it be!
Under the dark night, the dense lights are reflected on the sea, like the galaxy in the sky flowing on both sides of the harbor. After decades of development, the harbor has become a veritable super port. Merchant fleets, naval fleets, and naval families traveling between the east and west, the total population has exceeded 200,000. Regarding the main force of the squadron who left the port three days ago, the harbor is like the commander-in-chief of the Navy, and is full of confidence in victory.
"This is a win without any suspense, as simple as it will be natural."
More than 60 warships, 200 transport ships, and 12,000 landing infantry. Such strength is enough to conquer a small country in the South China Sea region of Zhongbiya. Moreover, the target of the squadron's attack was only a navy's main force was not on Anta Island. Intelligence shows that the Imperial Army's troops on Anta Island have less than 4,000 troops. With three times the force, the isolated Imperial Army can only be crushed.
In the evening, a broken warship appeared at one end of the narrow corridor like crescent moon in Port Mas. The lookout post of the port discovered the warship at the first time. The Aden soldiers on the lookout post looked at the distance in disbelief and the almost slanted warship came towards the Star Moon Promenade. The inherent smooth hull of the Aden warship and the tradition of double flags hanging on high places proved that it was an Aden warship. Soon, someone recognized the warship.
"It's the Thangkasu, look, the twin flags flying are exactly the home of the Mimagu family."
"Oh my God, the Thangkasu is one of the three heavy ships with the largest tonnage of the squadron. What did it happen? The sailing hull was almost broken. If it weren't for the current, it would have been a long time ago." The soldiers on the sentry were completely lost. In their minds, they were still a few days ago. The warship group left the gorge like a rushing beast. The huge and thick hull was full of the aura of the Aden Navy's victory. It was completely impossible to equal the remaining ship that was about to sink in front of them. As the Thangkasu slowly docked at the dock, the news of the fleet's defeat spread like a hurricane.
"The fleet was destroyed? How is this possible!"
The naval commander-in-chief Goodago, who was discussing the details of the battle with Yi Ya, suddenly stood up from the sofa, looked at the captain of the Thangkasu battleship with gauze in his arms, and suddenly received the news of the defeat of the squadron, as if he slapped him in the face and was slapped in the face. In the front, Yi Ya was still assured that he could win. In just half a day, this was the situation, "What happened to Mohamer, what was going on? At attacking Anta, where the main force of the navy was not there, or what was he doing? " Goodago's eyes were bloodshot, and at this moment, the urge to kill people flashed in his heart. Could it be that he had seen the wrong person? Mohamer, the chief of staff, was just a guy who was talking big?
"Our army had already captured an Imperial Army's fort, but that night, the main force of the Imperial Navy rushed back to Anta Island and raided behind our fleet at night. Our fleet fought to the death, but in the end it was defeated by the Imperial Navy's three-three ship tactics... Lord Mohammer ordered the fleet to fight to the death, and then... my subordinates didn't know!"
The pale-faced captain Donkasu talked about the process of attacking Anta. When it comes to the attack, Mohamer ordered the fleet to fight to the death. Goodyago's face looked better. If Mohamer's command error caused the fleet to be severely damaged, as he recommended him as the commander of the squadron, he would definitely be unable to escape the seriousness. However, now, he can completely push the fault of defeat to the despicable and shamelessness of the Imperial Navy.
"You go down first!" Goodyago waved his hand to the captain, and at the same time ordered the sea defense outpost to pay attention to other returning warships that may appear on the sea at any time. The entire fleet cannot be wiped out. Since the Donkasu can escape, other warships should be able to escape back as well.
Near the dark strait entrance, seventeen dragon-toothed warships quietly stopped in the shadow of the island like ghosts, lined up in a slanted shape. The commander of the naval squadron, Casti, held a bronze shell viewing glass and visited the lighted Mas Star Moon Bay in front of him. His eyes flashed with a cunning luster, following the Aden naval remnants, reminding Casti of one thing he used to do when he was a pirate, which was to hide behind other fleets and sneak into the port. This is very common among pirates. After all, pirates are unpopular. Once they find that the pirate ship is approaching, they will attract pain from the navy. However, pirates also need to go ashore to rest and supply, so there is this seemingly adventurous but very safe way.
Mixed in Aden's return to the remaining ship and entered the port of Mas, which was regarded as the old nest by the Aden navy. The darkness in front of him made this possibility extremely close,
"Commander, there is a fog on the sea. Three Aden warships have passed in front of them. The bell has not been ringing at the port!" The adjutant said excitedly from the side.
"Then start to execute, every three ships in the fleet, approaching one after another." The sea breeze was cold and dry, which made Casti unconsciously lick his cleaved lips that were blown by the sea breeze, and ordered him to go down. The sailors on the deck of the fleet quickly pulled the sails, rushing. "The water waves flipped, and the sails of the Dragon Tooth Battleship fell for half a night quickly rose to the high mast. In addition to the imperial military flag, 1 also had a cloth piece that looked like a military flag. Some masts were even hung with a big shorts. Under the fierce sea breeze, they jumped and snapped.
"Forward" the naval admirals of the Empire Dragon Tooth Ship were excited, and they accelerated to split the huge waves that came towards them. They raised the command knife in their hands. Mas crescent moon, the most proud and proud star-moon corridor of the Aden Navy. Because of the previous experience, the harbor whistle tower is no longer surprising to the black shadows slowly appearing on the sea.
"Oh, it seems like another survivor!"
"Let's go, because these guys are so down and out! Every time I see their arrogant chin, I want to kick them with my big foot. Now I deserve it to be kicked by the Imperial Navy."
An Aden soldier on the mail tower curled his lips disdainfully. As a port defense soldier, he has never dealt with these naval forces that are arrogant in the fight. The fleet navy mocked them as poor people who only dared to hide in the shell of a turtle and look at the sea. They mocked the fleet navy as a group of thin dogs who were beaten by the Imperial Navy.
"This is Mas Star Moon!" Standing at the bow of the Empire Dragon Tooth Battleship, Casti opened his mouth with an exaggerated expression, and his eyes swept across the straits in front of him with lights like stars. The round spires of houses of all sizes occupy a huge area on the right side of the 50-mile long and wide. There are countless lights, like stars flashing in the night sky. The sea surface is also supported by the two sides of the strait, showing a gray and white color, light colors and deep like dreamy seas.
"Archive Preparation" took a deep breath and snapped his fingers
The side baffle of the warship opened quietly, and the black muzzle was exposed. Casti felt the rumbling sound of the cannon cabin under his feet, and the cannon shaft rolling on the deck of the cannon cabin, like an unknown catalyst. In this semi-silent state, it was like a volcano that was accumulating strength, waiting for the moment when it erupted with all its strength.
Tonight, I'm destined to have a big surprise
