It's still late at night, satellite city. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the City Lord's Mansion, Ouyang Shuo said with a smile: "The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has won a beautiful battle, and the main battlefield should be real tomorrow." Wen He, immediately contact the details of Rabat City, and act on time tomorrow morning. ”

"No!"

Jia Xu turned around and left, and the national war finally ushered in the most critical day.

…………

Just as Ouyang Shuo was about to deliver a fatal blow to Rabat City, the underground world located below the satellite city also had an unusual conversation at this time.

Previously, when Moroccan players evacuated the satellite city, some adventurers who were still in the depths of the underground world did not have time to evacuate and stayed in the underground world.

When the expeditionary force settled in the satellite city, they didn't dare to come out even if they wanted to.

And those who can enter the depths of the underground world are all the elites of the adventure players, and what is being talked about at the moment is an elite team of the [Golden Mercenary Group], which is responsible for guild underground world pioneering.

The news of the annihilation of the Moroccan territory has been learned by the team members from the forum.

This time made them angry.

"Captain, do we have to do something?" It was a young man dressed as an archer, and at first glance, there was a wit in his eyes.

The captain was a warrior who looked at the roughness and said, "Dida, what do you think?" ”

Dida rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Captain, do you remember the group of demonized platypuses we encountered the day before yesterday?" ”

"Of course I remember, those monsters are really scary, if we hadn't run in time, we would have almost confessed there." The captain replied casually, and only then did he react, his eyes instantly broke the boss, and asked, "You don't have the idea of hitting them, are you?" ”

"What's not to do?" Dida didn't care, "Captain, you think, if you can lure that group of monsters to the ground, it will definitely be enough for the enemy to drink a pot, and it will be tens of thousands of quasi-spirit beasts." ”

"With the strength of a few of us, how can we lead?"

Although the captain was a little moved, he couldn't guess Dida's thoughts.

When Dida heard this, he smiled and said, "Captain, have you noticed, when we passed by the demonized platypus herd that day, the platypus king was laying eggs. If we steal that egg and throw it in the satellites, the monsters will riot. ”

"And," Speaking of this, a hint of greed flashed in Dida eyes, and he said, "The lair of those monsters hides treasures at a glance, and when all the monsters are lured away, won't all the treasures there be ours?!" In that case, you will get revenge and treasure, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Hearing this, the captain nodded, then frowned and said, "Your idea is good, but the eggs laid by the beastmaster must be placed in the depths of the lair and guarded. If we can really steal the eggs, what will we do? ”

Dida smiled, suddenly took out something from the storage bag, and said with a smile, "What do you think this is?" ”

"Invisibility Talisman?!" The captain exclaimed, "You have such a rare thing. ”

Dida laughed and said, "I got it by accident." ”

The captain was overjoyed, patted Dida's shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "It's feasible to have this treasure, if you really want to lure that group of monsters to the ground, you have done a great job." Among the treasures in the lair, you can prioritize three items. ”

Dida smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go now, sooner rather than later." ”

"Let's go!"

The elite squad packed their bags and disappeared into the underground caverns.

************

May 21, fine.

In the early morning, the sky was just dawning, and the red sun had not yet completely risen from the depths of the Atlantic, and almost stepping on the afterglow of the red sun, the Spanish armada passed smoothly through the Strait of Gibraltar.

The fleets sailing on the surface of the sea did not notice that there were wooden crates floating in the sea in front of them.

The commander of the Armada was not Casillas, but his admiral and one of the greatest historical generals of Spain's heyday, the Duke of Parma, Alexandre Farnese.

Alexandre Farnese was the son of Otavio, Duke of Parma, Italy, and his mother was Margaret de Palma, the illegitimate daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor and King Carlos I of Spain, and was raised as a hostage at an early age in the court of his uncle, King Philip II of Spain, and grew up with Don Juan, another illegitimate son of Carlos I, who was two years his junior.

In 1571, as Don Juan's lieutenant, Alexandre Farnese defeated the Ottoman navy at the Battle of Lepanto and returned to Palma the following year. Later, he went to the Netherlands to suppress the Dutch Revolution that broke out there, and in 1578 he participated in the Battle of Jean Bull and defeated the Dutch rebels.

In October of the same year, Don Juan, the governor of the Netherlands, died of illness on the outskirts of Jeanblou, Netherlands, and Alexandre Farnese succeeded Don Juan as governor of the Netherlands.

Unlike the previous two Dutch governors, Duke Álvaro, who suppressed them and Don Juan, who advocated pacification, Alexandre Farnese suppressed the Utrecht League led by Prince Orange and reconciled with the Catholic-majority south.

During his eight years as governor of the Netherlands, he regained 10 of the 17 rebellious provinces in the south, forming what is now Belgium, and in 1586 he succeeded to the title of Duke of Parma.

Duke Álvaro's defection to Shanhai City undoubtedly made the Spanish royal family quite indignant. It was under these circumstances that Alexandre Farnese took the initiative to join Casillas and rebuild the Spanish Arada.

Therefore, the battle between the Arma and the Mediterranean Fleet can also be called a battle of fate.

…………

Flagship of the Armada, the Prince of Asturias.

Casillas stood at the front of the deck, looking at the calm sea, and said to Alexandre Farnese: "General, will the Mediterranean fleet set up an ambush nearby?" ”

The Strait of Gibraltar is the narrowest on both sides, and once the Spanish Armada enters the Atlantic, it is difficult to say whether the Mediterranean Fleet of the Bactria Dynasty can find the whereabouts of the Armada without saying that it will set up an ambush.

Therefore, this is the best ambush location for the Mediterranean fleet.

"There is such a possibility, cough cough~~"

Alexandre Farnese was only thirty-five years old in the wilderness, but he was not in good health. Historically, Alexandre Farnese fell ill because of a serious illness, coupled with the war, and the monarch's suspicion, which led to a sickness and finally died in Asra at the end of 1592.

Alexandre Farnese turned and said, "Someone! ”

"In!"

"Pass the order, all ships enter a state of war, and always be vigilant."

"Yes!"

At the thought of the upcoming fight, Casillas was vaguely excited. At this moment, warships came from both sides of the strait at the same time, and golden flags fluttered in the wind.

"It's the Mediterranean fleet of the Great Xia Dynasty!" Casillas recognized it at once.

When Alexandre Farnese heard this, he took out his telescope and looked at it carefully, only to see that only the third and fourth formations of the Mediterranean Fleet were attacking, totaling more than 100 capital warships.

"Are they a little too confident?" Alexandre Farnese frowned, it was crazy enough to use the strength of two large formations against the full Spanish Armada.

"General Álvaro, what the hell are you up to?"

Alexandre Farnese was cautious in his tactics, but he could not see through the tactics of his predecessor.

"It doesn't matter what he thinks, since the Mediterranean Fleet dares to come, let them go and never return." Casillas looked excited, and said with a smile: "The other two formations of the Mediterranean Fleet must still be dragged in the Moroccan royal city of Rabat, and they can't come back for a while. Álvaro was ordered to intercept us again, and this time he was afraid that he would have to do it if he didn't get it. Casillas immediately came up with such an explanation.

Alexandre Farnese listened, and was noncommittal, and said, "I hope so." ”

That's when something happened.

Suddenly, there was an explosion from the bottom of the sea, "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Curiously, the explosions came almost exclusively from the bottom of the battleship, and mostly from the bow. Even more bizarre is that the closer you get to the front of the fleet, the more dense the explosions become.

In an instant, more than 20 warships were damaged, and they were not able to move. Chillingly, the explosions continued, and there seemed to be no intention of stopping.

"What's going on?"

Casillas's face changed drastically, and the explosions were still incessant, even under the flagship.

"Check it out and see what's going on!" Casillas was almost roaring, commanding to go down, showing that his heart was in turmoil.

The panicked Casillas didn't notice that Alexandre Farnese's expression was already solemn, and he muttered to himself: "Mine, is this the legendary mine?" ”

Alexandre Farnese's suspicions were soon confirmed, and it was the mines that were placed on the surrounding sea, and could even be called the originator of mines.

"Quick, order the fleet to stop advancing!" Alexandre Farnese ordered.

A mine is an explosive weapon laid in water, which can be detonated by the mechanical collision of a ship or by the action of other non-contact factors, such as magnetism, noise, water pressure, etc., and is used to damage an enemy ship or hinder its activities.

Because of the characteristics of low price, huge power, easy deployment, difficulty in finding and clearing, and flexible function, mines have become a weapon often used in asymmetric warfare.

In general, the cost of clearing mines is from ten to two hundred times more than laying them.

When it comes to mines, people's first reaction is that this should be a modern weapon, but in fact, mines are actually the oldest underwater weapons, and its homeland is in ancient China.

Mines were first invented by the Chinese, and in 1549 AD, the "underwater mines" made in the Ming Dynasty can be called the world's first mines. The mine was made of a wooden box as a mine shell, putty glued joints, and the ropes below were connected to the iron anchors, the depth was controlled, and the firing was manually manipulated, more than two hundred years earlier than the manufacture and use of mines in the West.

The Ming Dynasty improved the mine again, called it "underwater dragon king cannon".
