Chapter 972: The Z1 Battleship Shows Its Might
The Indian Ocean is close to the waters of Java, which are already prone to storms, which can set off a monstrous wave at any time.
On 16 November, as a well-planned naval battle made the area even more unusual, the Javanese Padang fleet set up an ambush in advance and surrounded the royal fleet of Bactria in advance.
A huge fleet group composed of more than 200 building ships and warships, more than 500 warships, and thousands of red horse boats appeared on the sea surface as if they were covering the sky and the sun, which made people daunting.
Padang ship.
The lord of Java, Uaisi, stood on the deck, his expression was extremely happy, and he said with a smile: "The Great Xia fleet is not as terrible as the legend, it is not easy to be surrounded by us, see how they still run." ”
The generals around him listened to it, and then echoed and said: "My lord is wise and martial, and the Great Xia fleet is just a chicken and a dog. "I don't know, I think the Padang fleet has won a big battle.
"Haha~~"
Uace was extremely useful, and he wanted to put pressure on moderates such as Shanda through this battle.
…………
Seeing that he was surrounded by the Padang fleet, Admiral Gan Ning of the Navy Division was not afraid at all, and calmly adjusted the fleet formation, and the forty Z1 battleships gradually spread out and lined up in a row, forming a standard formation of sail battleships.
One cannon after another protruded from the gun compartment, revealing its hideous fangs.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
With the sound of artillery fire, although the scene was shocking, the next battle was not exciting.
The two fleets launched a boring and repetitive bombardment, you cannon, I cannon, just like two boxers competing with each other, there is no trick, you punch, I punch, punch to the flesh, until one side completely falls.
At this time, the power of the Z1 battleship was reflected, and the ninety new guns swallowed tongues of fire, like fire dragons, devouring enemy ships one after another.
Whether it is the power of artillery or the density of artillery, the royal fleet has overwhelmed the Padang fleet.
In this way, after only an hour of the war, although the Java Padang fleet had the absolute upper hand in the number of warships, it gradually fell into passivity and was pressed and beaten by the Royal Fleet of Great Xia.
It's a spectacle.
At this moment, the originally calm sea suddenly set off huge waves, and the blue sky was covered with clouds, and in an instant, lightning and thunder roared, and a rainstorm was about to come.
The whole sea seemed to be boiling, up and down, tumbling, and countless warships drifted helplessly under the huge waves, unable to control their own fate.
A huge wave hit, some red horse boats capsized in an instant, and even the warships were overturned, and only giants like the Lou Ship Battleship and the Z1 Battleship could survive.
"Damn, how could you be so unlucky."
Uace cursed as he clung to the fence.
Under the attack of such a huge wave, the Badong fleet, let alone aiming at the enemy ships, it would be good if it could successfully open fire, and the hit rate plummeted like a roller coaster, and it basically could not pose a threat to the Royal Fleet of Great Xia.
It is even said that a huge wave suddenly swept in, the battleship moved sideways, and the shells that were originally aimed at the enemy ship suddenly turned, and with a "boom", they suddenly hit their own battleship, and the scene was more embarrassing and embarrassing.
The entire Padang fleet was in a panic.
At this moment, the long-brewing downpour finally poured down, affecting the command of the Padang fleet, and the entire fleet was almost paralyzed.
The besieged Royal Fleet presented a different spectacle.
Protected by Mazu, the Great Xia fleet's ability to resist storms far exceeded that of other fleets, and although this storm came violently, it was not comparable to the storm encountered during the first ocean voyage.
In the midst of the rolling waves, the Royal Fleet remained as steady as Mount Tai.
The command system of the Royal Fleet is also more advanced than that of the State of Java, and in addition to the flags, there are also war drums. Even in the torrential rain, the whole fleet was still running in an orderly manner, and there was no panic.
Gan Ning naturally did not miss such an excellent opportunity to command the fleet to launch a more fierce attack on the enemy ships.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Even if the sea was already thundering and lightning, it still couldn't cover the roar of the cannon, and this huge response and thunder, combined with lightning, almost like the end of the world was coming, which was terrifying.
This time the Badong fleet was miserable, it was equivalent to a live target, which could only be beaten, unable to fight back, and in just half an hour, more than ten building ships and warships were sunk, which made Wuaisi feel distressed.
In order to form the Padang fleet, Uace was about to empty his family. In order to keep secrets, apart from fighting pirates in the Indian Ocean, the Padang fleet has always been very low-key, and even the ASEAN lords are not very clear.
I never thought that the first "performance" of this fleet hidden in the snow would be smashed.
Uaisi's face was pale, the same color as lightning, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!" ”
If it continues to be consumed like this, it is gambling with the family foundation, the Great Xia Dynasty has a big business, even if the royal fleet is disabled, it is nothing, naturally it is not afraid, but Wu Aisi does not dare to gamble so much.
This is the gap in strength.
Even if it was an order to retreat, the Padang fleet was still stumbling and vague when it received it, but fortunately, the officers and men of the fleet had already been timid, and when they saw that there were warships evacuating, they did not confirm the order, and retreated with a smoke.
The originally crowded sea surface instantly became "refreshing".
A sudden super naval battle ended in a hurry because of a sudden rainstorm.
…………
Seeing that the Padang fleet fled in disgrace, Gan Ning gave up and stopped the pursuit, such bad weather also had an impact on the royal fleet, and one was not good, but he was to blame.
In the end, the number was different, and the royal fleet did not win this battle easily, losing eight Z1 warships, more than 20 warships, and hundreds of red horse boats.
The cost is so great, and the results are also very rich.
In this battle, a total of 35 ships of the Padang Fleet were sunk, almost a formation of the Padang Fleet was destroyed, and the opponent was slapped hard and the arrogance of Uace was defeated.
After this war, the state of Java is afraid that it will be depressed for a while, which is extremely beneficial to the layout of the Bactria Dynasty in ASEAN.
…………
Ouyang Shuo stood on the deck, the torrential rain was pouring down, but he couldn't shake him in the slightest, his waist was straight, silently watching the Badong fleet gradually move away, looking at the undulating heads of people on the sea, and said: "Save the son who fell into the water as much as possible." ”
"No!" The herald turned and left.
In a big storm, both the Padang fleet and the royal fleet had a large number of soldiers overboard. If you don't rescue such a big storm in time, the chance of survival is very low.
When a storm comes, I don't know where it is lifted.
No matter what the considerations, Ouyang Shuo couldn't abandon the sons.
By the time the storm had passed, the royal fleet had tried their best to rescue them, but less than half of them had been saved, and the remaining soldiers had already been washed away, and the chances of survival were very small.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the royal fleet set off again.
