Chapter 283 Probing, the powerful Penglai fleet
Li Mu and his party followed Ye Jin closely and boarded a dark green ship. They said the ship was actually inferior to the Penglai Army's giant warships, with a hull of more than 400 feet.
With a huge sail that is more than ten people high, the design embodies the wisdom of Cangyun Empire craftsmen, making this ship extremely maneuverable. It is the most important type of warship in the Imperial Navy.
"Our Seventh Army has been divided into parts, and is divided into eighty squads in total. The seven squads that will perform the mission with us this time are under my unified command. This ship is my command ship. This mission is to test
It mainly focuses on detecting the firepower situation of the Penglai Army. It is not very dangerous and is just suitable for you to be familiar with the situation of the army."
Ye Jin walked at the front of the team. While introducing his command ship and the content of this mission, he climbed over the eaves of the ship. As a general-level officer in the Imperial Navy, achieving great success in the Dan Formation Realm is his current goal.
Although his cultivation level is slightly inferior to that of Li Mu and the others, in terms of combat effectiveness and grasp of large-scale battles, Ye Jin is undoubtedly superior to Li Mu and his teachers.
"Brother Ye, there is no need to take special care of us. We were sent here to help everyone fight. You can just treat us as the most ordinary soldiers under your command."
Seeing that Ye Jin was still worried about whether they could adapt to the battle, Li Mu quickly said that they came to support the Donghai Outpost this time not to be gold-plated like those young masters from aristocratic families, but to actually kill the enemy on the ground. If commanded
If you think about giving them special care, it will affect the overall situation.
After a group of people boarded the ship, they saw five or six soldiers on the deck inspecting various facilities. The soldiers were not very old, not much older than Li Mu, but none of them had entered the Dan Formation Realm.
, they were a little surprised to see Ye Jin boarding the ship with a group of his peers, including beautiful women, but they quickly stood up and gave a military salute, and then turned their attention to Li Mu and the others.
"These brothers have been with me for many years. They were trained by me. Don't underestimate them, but they have quite a lot of naval combat experience. Besides them, there are seven or eight people on the ship. They are all preparing under the cabin now. When the time comes,
You need to cooperate with each other, and you can get to know each other now."
As Ye Jin said, most of the soldiers on this ship went to sea with him to fight after joining the Eastern Military Region. The affection and trust between them are absolutely incomparable to other people. Naturally, he was a little strange when he saw new people joining him.
In particular, Nie Xiaoyu, Lin Qingzhu, and Yun Luoxi, three first-class beauties, did not look like they could go to the battlefield, so it is not surprising that they thought they were disciples from aristocratic families who came to show off their military exploits.
Ye Jin also understood what his soldiers were thinking, and did not introduce too much about the identities of Li Mu and the others. He only explained their purpose of assisting them as monks. It is undoubtedly a big deal for a team to have six monks at the same time.
It enhanced their combat effectiveness. Such an explanation caused a 180-degree change in the attitude of the soldiers in front of them. In addition, since they were all of the same age, Li Mu and the others had no airs, and the two parties quickly became familiar with each other.
The war situation was urgent, and everyone's actions sped up a lot. After about a stick of incense, all the pre-war preparations were completed. With Ye Jin's order, seven warships headed by the command ship landed at the same time.
He raised the main sail and set sail at full speed along the established route with the help of the majestic sea breeze from the East China Sea.
At the same time, starting from the East China Sea outpost, hundreds of Cangyun Empire warships were rapidly deploying three lines of defense according to their own plans, completely radiating the area of more than 20 miles from the Sea of Death to the outpost, all
All battleships are equipped with transmission notes. Any defense line or battleship that detects enemy conditions can quickly transmit information back to the general command room at the outpost base.
This kind of large-scale joint defense tactics requires extremely strong discipline. Any omission on the vast sea may allow the enemy to find a gap and drive straight in. Only the troops led by Liu Qingling can maintain such precision in the unpredictable sea.
This is why she is called the first naval battle general in the empire.
Li Mu's position is in the middle of the three lines of defense. The presence of the six of them gives Ye Jin's team a combat effectiveness that far exceeds that of other brother teams. Stationed in the central area of the second line of defense, they are responsible for a large fan-shaped sea area in front of them.
, Li Mu, who participated in actual combat for the first time, had already activated the Tiansheng Jue, fully expanding the range of perception, and even radiating to the area below the sea surface, in order to defend against the rumored submarine force of the Penglai Army.
"Pay attention to maintaining the formation. The energy of the array is medium-transmitted. The speed is increased by one section and the detection range is expanded."
Ten nautical miles east of Li Mu, three small boats with blue lights on their tails approached quickly. After three breaths, they entered the three lines of defense arranged by Liu Qingling. The scout team in charge of the first line of defense discovered them immediately.
Both of the intruding kamikaze teams were small, high-speed boats. When they noticed each other, both teams responded quickly.
Two signal arrows, one blue and one red, were launched into the sky, bursting out with dazzling light. The first contact was sudden, but both armies were fully prepared. The Penglai Army's giant battleship group quickly changed its formation into a cone.
shape, all energy cannons began to charge, obviously trying to directly break through the opponent's defense line with powerful firepower.
Liu Qingling, who received the information from the scout troops, was also unhurried and ordered the scout troops forming the first line of defense to shrink quickly, forming a pocket formation, keeping a distance from the enemy, and then began to launch a tentative attack.
At the moment when the battle on the first line of defense started, the second line of defense where Li Mu's team was located was all deployed and moved closer to the first line of defense, ready to meet the scouting ships and provide fire support. Dark green speedboats were seen passing by one after another.
In the midst of the turbulent waves, the Kamikaze team not far away had appeared within the range of their naked eyes, and the first wave of tentative attacks was launched instantly.
The artillery roared and sprayed sparks towards the Kamikaze squadron's ships. The shells drew arcs and hit the outpost of the Penglai Army fleet. Waves of spray exploded next to their ships, but
The speedboat propelled by energy stones kept swerving and moving, and managed to avoid all the attacks from the Cangyun Empire.
"Continue to fire, suppress fire, and don't let them break through the defense line."
The officers of the scout team kept issuing instructions that they should stop the kamikaze team outside the first line of defense, so that the following troops could buy more time to complete the formation change.
"boom!"
Just as the ships of the Cangyun Empire tilted and fired, streaks of hot blue light streaked across the sky. As more and more Kamikaze squadron ships withstood the first wave of offensive, their counterattacks immediately descended on Cangyun Empire.
On the Yun Empire's position, the energy stone transformed into a terrifying light under the guidance of the magic circle, which continuously bombarded the defense line composed of the scout team.
Although he tried his best to dodge, a battleship was soon hit by the blue light. The sky-high flames instantly lit up, and the entire ship was reduced to ashes in an instant.
