Sweep the World

Chapter 670: : Coming overwhelmingly

The Chinese nation did not encounter any threats in the Pacific. There was no enemy in the entire Pacific that could be worthy of World War I. Whether it was the Beiyang Fleet or the Nanyang Fleet, which was carrying out the exploration and development of the ocean, it really did not encounter any threatening naval enemy.

Obviously there is no enemy that can stand up to World War I, but the size of the Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet are each more than a thousand warships. It is not that the Han is so wealthy that the warships can be dismounted like dumplings. It is Liu Yan who has a system force against the sky. Each has a thousand warships, in fact there are only one or two hundred non-systematic warships, and the rest are all ships for transportation.

After the Han State extended its military tentacles to Malacca, the non-system forces of the Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet were reorganized into a part of the Southern Expeditionary Force. The three hundred warships that arrived at A Sanyang came from this way. After they were transferred away, The Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet seem to have not lost many warships, but in fact they are all system troops.

Due to the limited shipbuilding capacity of Han, the speed of replenishing the non-systematic warships of the Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet is not fast. Furthermore, at this stage, the military red zone of Han is in Asanyang, even if new warships are actually launched. Will also be divided into the Southern Expeditionary Force sequence.

Huan Wen didn’t know when the Gupta dynasty made a big move. All he could do was to send an official document to the center as soon as possible. The first request was the nearest Nanyang Fleet. If the situation on the Asanyang side enters into a stalemate, Beiyang will be needed. Fleet source.

Building a system shipyard? It was based on the premise that Liu Yan had that thought. After entering the customs, his attention turned to the construction of the new Chang'an City, and the upcoming drought. He was not notified even if the system has been established around the Pingman Captain's Department. Shipyards, no warships will come out for service without construction.

The earth is divided into north and south poles, and the environment and climate of each region are different. If calculated according to the latitude, the Pingman Captain's Department is in the subtropical zone. In spring, it has begun to be a little sultry, or the air is humid and sultry. In summer, It's still sultry, even if it has entered autumn, it is still sultry and hot, but winter is a bit like spring in the Central Plains.

What is more troublesome for the expeditionary army is that the rain in this place will be endless when it comes to autumn, sometimes it will stop at once, and more often it will be at least 20 days in a month. It's raining, which means that the soldiers don't do anything except shelter from the rain.

The endless rain has also given the expeditionary army a new test. Except for the dilemma of excessive rain, where there is water everywhere, the amount of dry firewood stored is consumed daily. If the dry firewood is completely consumed, the soldiers’ diet will be affected. If something goes wrong, at least don't want to eat a hot meal.

"The latest news is that a hurricane has landed in the South China Sea, and the coastal area of ​​Cochin has been severely damaged. Malacca is temporarily unavailable for navigation."

A typhoon or hurricane in autumn is normal in that area. Not only will the sea become terrible, the land and coastal areas will inevitably be blown into chaos by the wind.

"Compared to the big man, Gupado knows more about that sea area." What Li Mai heard in his ears was the sound of rain slapped on the bamboo rafts, and it was raining heavily outside. He said anxiously: "I think that if Gupta is looking for a fighter, it is exactly at that time."

A large number of Han naval forces stationed in the Pingman colonel was absolutely no secret to the Gupta dynasty. It was just that the warships of the Han army were tightly blocked, and it was difficult for the warships of the Gupta dynasty to get close and observe, so that the Gupta dynasty knew that this place was important to the Han army. The base is unclear about the situation.

Huan Wen immediately reacted and asked: "Xianhe means that the enemy will launch a surprise attack?"

"If you are a general in Gupta, you won't miss such a great opportunity." What Li Mai is doing is just a kind of empathy. He said in a research tone: "Gupta already knows about this place, but it is difficult to get close to it. Observing, it is unclear how our army is fighting in this way. There is a fault in our army's rear, and the enemy is calculating for the battle. Maybe they have no confidence in coming to a decisive battle, but they are eager to know the situation here."

Huan Wen had related thoughts before, but he was unsure of being unfamiliar with maritime operations. Seeing Li Mai's certainty, he nodded: "If this is the case, within a few days?"

In the era when communication relies on roaring and communication relies on running, the time delay in information transmission depends on the length of the distance. And I don’t know if the Gupta dynasty has any ships spying near Malacca. They will make inferences based on their experience in previous years. They are certainly not unfamiliar with the South China Sea and the waters of Malacca.

Huan Wen stopped in the strait for a few days before arriving at the Pingman Captain's Department. He learned that there is no shortage of Ah San on the local peninsula and surrounding islands. Since there are immigrants from Ah San there, it makes no sense that Ah San is unfamiliar with him. It should even be said that it is at least more familiar than the Han Chinese who have just arrived.

"The big man's warship can sail in the rain. The wind and waves are too big but it is impossible." Li Mai tried his best to recall the style of the warship of the Gupta dynasty, saying: "At present, the sea is not very windy and the waves are only in the rainy season. The enemy has no shortage of big ships, I want to know. Whether the enemy forces will come, you can check the recent enemy forces' movements."

To put it simply, any military operation requires preparation time. The navy must carry out related inspections, maintenance, and warranty on ships before going into battle, and it must also prepare enough supplies. In this way, one only needs to observe the recent naval dispatch of the Gupta dynasty to find out the clues, especially if the opponent's large ships appear or not, it is more accurate to judge.

Each ship has its own logbook, which not only records the route it sailed, but also the status of the ship and the information it found. If you want to spy on the status of the Gupta dynasty navy, it is the most intuitive to check the logs of the ships that went before the attack. The workload is a bit heavy.

As a superior, Huan Wen doesn't need to do everything himself. With his mouth open, people will naturally be busy, and after half a day, he will get a relatively detailed information.

"Xianhe has done meritorious service." Huan Wen is not usually a kind person, but he does not hesitate to smile to those who are capable and able to help him a lot: "The great ship of Jidu has not appeared in recent days, presumably just as Xianhe guessed. They want to take advantage of this great opportunity to come and spy."

Li Mai just eats the bowl of rice that led the navy. If others are not sensitive, he must have a keen sense of smell, or else the fleet will be attacked in Hong Kong, and it will be a small matter of losing face, and the fleet will be severely damaged but bear the responsibility.

Huan Wen needs to rely on Li Mai's ability in naval battles. He gave the most genial smile and asked: "Since Xianhe anticipates the enemy's movements, can there be any countermeasures?"

There are more than 300 warships of the expeditionary force, and the number of warships that are often dispatched to carry out raid wars is about 100. The temporary combat mission is definitely unable to notify the formations that are launching raids. After all, there is no radio at all. . The number of warships calling at the military port for maintenance, overhaul and awaiting replenishment is not fixed, and there are no less than one hundred and fifty ships within the range of the chain of command.

Li Mai has always believed that his guess will not go wrong. He has a draft in his heart, but he can’t disrespect Huan Wen, so he asked for instructions and said: “I don’t know how many warships the enemy will come. There are about 130 warships that Dahan can participate in in the military port. It is natural to be in a head-on confrontation, but it is difficult to teach the enemy the greatest lesson. The military port has a perfect water wall, even if it is attacked. The enemy can easily break through, should the fleet be dispatched out of the port and use the water village as a bait to attract the invading enemy?"

Let the fleet leave the port and hide it outside, use the naval port as a bait to let the Gupta navy come in, wait for the Gupta navy to enter the encirclement, and then the hidden fleet will surround it again. Huan Wen began to evaluate the feasibility in an instant, and thought about it and decided that it was feasible.

"Although the enemy doesn't know the number of our warships, you should not make the harbor look empty." Huan Wen appreciates Li Mai's inability to finish his words and leave some supplementary care for the subordinates who hide their faces. Attitude: "It is up to Xianhe to make arrangements."

Li Mai naturally saluted: "No!"

Don't think Li Mai and Huan Wen were both descendants of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but they really couldn't get close. Huan Wen's reputation is not good, at least it is mostly negative in the south, and getting along with others is not a modest gentleman, or even somewhat domineering. Those may be Huan Wen's original character, or they may also be given to the emperor, but they also make his colleagues feel jealous and fearful, and some of them will also hate it.

Naturally, Li Mai would not show his disgust with Huan Wen. He didn't procrastinate when he was ordered. After he said goodbye to Huan Wen, he found Fu Wei. Both of them were high-ranking naval officers. The next confrontation would require concerted efforts.

The rain naturally continued to fall, and there was no tendency to stop at all. The warships in the military port left the port in batches in a haze covered by raindrops. They would not go north, but to hide in the southern waters.

In this area, Han is not the only base in this area near the sea of ​​Pingman’s school captain’s department (Yangon). There is also a large base (earth tile) in the rear. This is the other base that has relatively poor construction and completeness, generally Used as a repair site for heavily damaged warships.

The more severe the battleship is damaged, the longer the repair cycle will definitely be. Usually, it is not scheduled to be repaired in the forward military port, which would occupy the dock. The repair docks of the forward military port deal with warships that have suffered less damage, and repair them as quickly as possible, so that the damaged warships can be restored and put back into service.

Before the Han Expeditionary Army was busy responding to a possible attack, the Gupta dynasty was indeed preparing for a surprise attack.

The number of Gupta ships gathered to join this inexplicable war is more than 800 ships along the coast of Cuttack. The number of civilians expropriated is complicated and the style is complicated. Kapil Malik is in charge of one. A formation of fifty ships of various types.

"Jeding's order has been issued." Kapil Malik said that the commander-in-chief of the Gupta dynasty, Gawara Kunal, Jeding, made a fortuitous raid. He is now on the newly-taken warship, looking at the dense sails around him, and telling his deputy Djean Kumar: "We are divided into the second batch of formations, and we will set sail today. "

Kapil Malik’s new ship is a three-masted warship with a length of 24 meters, a width of 6.5 meters, and a draft of 3.5 meters. The ship is equipped with two bed crossbows, both on the bow deck. Location. His new ship looks like a Sassanid style, but it is actually a captured ship that has been repaired after being captured. And it was actually not a native warship of the Sassanid dynasty, it was captured by the Sassanian navy from the Eastern Roman navy.

The style of the warship of the Sassanid dynasty is very Hellenistic, and there is a statue of the goddess of the ocean at the bow of the ship. It is Kapil Malik who has not figured out whether the goddess of the ocean is the daughter of Okeanos or Nirvana. Daughter of Rouss?

Javala Kunal Jiedin will not directly participate in this raid. As a noble Brahmin, he only needs to give orders and stay in a safe place to wait for the news.

Of course, it will not be Kapil Malik who is in command of the assault fleet, but Katruk Karp, who has asked for orders, will direct this assault.

The number of ships used by the Gupta dynasty for raid wars reached 500, that is, the number of civilian ships accounted for 300 of them, and there were less than 200 warships. The preparations for their raid fleet have been going on for nearly two months. In addition to preparing for naval battles, they have also deployed troops for penetration and landing. Most of the soldiers preparing for landing operations are arranged for civilian use in the final raid formation. Above the ship.

The long "Woo Wu Wu" horn sounded first from the city lord's mansion, followed by continuous transmission from various places, waiting for the bell of the port to be sounded, and a huge team of monks appeared.

The monks are not going to fight with the army. They are going to the port to bless the army that is about to go to war. The Sanskrit sounds are chanted, with the constant ringing of the bell, and there are a large number of monks and believers coming out. It is a bit Buddha. The meaning of the arrival of a country.

The fleet waiting to depart, I don’t know who first shouted "Mtlnovel~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then the voice of praise from the crowd.

Ah San has his own mature religious system. The Buddhism taught and so on was actually abandoned by Ah San himself, and replaced by India 1 Degree 1 Religion, and India 1 Degree 1 Religion has three main gods, namely Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. Brahma is the **** of creation (the lord of the universe), Shiva is the **** of destruction of the three eyes (the king of ghost eyes), and Shiu is the patron saint of the universe and life.

Kshatriya, the main deity of the Asan group, is of course the **** of destruction. It is a necessary procedure to hold religious, religious, ritual, and blessing (prayer) before the battle. The more powerful the army, the higher the morale of the army.

Under the sound of sanskrit and bells, Katluk Karp waved his arm and his flagship left Hong Kong first, followed by the flagship guard formation.

As the second-tier Kapil Malik, he looked solemnly at the singing and dancing on the shore, waiting for the first-tier formation to leave the port, and then shouted: "The goddess will bless us invincible, let's go!"

Of course, not all ships come out of the port. In fact, most of the ships have been anchored long ago and lined up in formations. At first glance, they are connected into a big piece, which is a bit overwhelmingly magnificent.
