Chapter 1402, means of prevention
After a quick ride back to the palace, the manufacturing of the falcon bow was destined to further improve the combat effectiveness of the elven arms.
However, considering the pressure on the arsenal, Luo Ji stared at the production line report that had just been completed. After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to get a batch of production capacity for the Falcon Bow, as an important part of the new army.
As for the main weapon, he must get a batch of them first.
As for the formation and training of the new unit, he left it directly to Zhang William.
After retreating from the front line, Zhang William was idle, so I just found something for him to do.
In this way, time continued to flow. On the sea area where the expedition fleet was located, the fleet of foreign players returning to the port did not leave this battlefield deserted for too long.
In just over a month, after regrouping, they quickly came out.
During the day, facing the large ships and cannons of the Fuso Fleet and the Gallic Fleet, Wang Sheng's small fleet, which was severely lacking in artillery firepower, naturally had to retreat.
But as night falls, this lightning strike fleet that only belongs to late night once again transforms into an assassin hiding under the night!
The detection radar continued to scan, and after three consecutive nights of no results, an opportunity came on the night of the fourth day!
Thanks to the range advantage of the detection radar, Wang Sheng's fleet discovered traces of the enemy fleet from a distance.
On this day, even God was helping them. The thick clouds in the sky almost made the entire sea area invisible.
Maintaining their speed, they approached quietly under the cover of night.
By the time the opposing fleet discovered their traces, it was already too late!
Under Wang Sheng's loud orders, the fifteen destroyers in a lightning strike formation approached as fast as possible, and then launched a torpedo attack without hesitation.
They were already extremely proficient in using this method of attack. After one attack, the fifteen destroyers left without losing speed.
During this period, the violent explosions produced by torpedo attacks after consecutive hits quickly swept through the sea area.
Wang Sheng, who was on the rear flagship at the time, was waiting to confirm the results of his night attack.
However, as the firelight gradually dissipated, the expression on his face quickly froze.
"what happened?!"
Four simple words were enough to explain the confusion in his heart at this moment.
At this moment, the fleet of foreign players located on the distant sea surface. Although many warships were attacked by torpedoes, damaged, and even smoke emitted, judging from the current situation, there was no
A battleship was directly sunk by a torpedo...
For Wang Sheng, this was simply unbelievable.
According to the tonnage and armor plates of the destroyers outside, can they withstand torpedo attacks? This is simply a joke to him!
But now the fact was right in front of him, and he couldn't help but not believe it.
"Send the order, the destroyer fleet continues to evacuate, and let the Elf Druid fly over to investigate the situation! Quick!"
The current situation cannot be clearly seen with the naked eye, and it is impossible for radar equipment to scan the specific situation. In the end, the elf Drew relies on spectrum.
After receiving the order, the Elf Druid transformed into a giant eagle and flew quickly towards the location of the enemy fleet.
Although it was night at this time, after flying closer, the field of view suddenly became much clearer. I saw that there were actually long poles on the hulls of the enemy warships.
One end of those poles is connected to the hull of the battleship, and the other end seems to be fixed to something...
In order to see what was going on, the Elf Druid quickly lowered his flying speed after weighing it in his mind. While flying almost close to the sea, with the light source of the enemy fleet's searchlight, he finally gave the thing to
See clearly.
It's a barbed wire fence! There is actually a long barbed wire fence fixed at one end of the pole!
After listening to the elf druid's report, Wang Sheng's face was obviously uncertain for a while.
Through simple intelligence, he has probably figured out the opponent's method of preventing his torpedo attack.
According to the opponent's arrangement, his torpedo attack will be triggered by those barbed wires and detonate before hitting the enemy warship.
In the absence of a direct hit, the power of the explosion has been significantly weakened, and it is impossible to show the previous destructive power of directly sinking enemy warships.
That's right, let all your own fleets be equipped with anti-torpedo nets after nightfall. This is what the Fuso Fleet and the Gallic Fleet thought of to deal with Wang Sheng's lightning strike fleet.
However, it is undeniable that this fairly direct and seemingly simple approach does work.
On the premise of effectively avoiding direct torpedo attacks, as long as it is not too bad luck, it will not be easily sunk again.
Faced with such a direct defensive method, Wang Sheng, who was frustrated by this night attack, retreated quickly. He needed some time to think and regroup.
In a night attack, the fleet of foreign players successfully blocked the attack of the lightning fleet. Naturally, the previous low morale changed, and the morale of the entire fleet began to steadily recover.
In the following days, Wang Sheng not only ordered the Elf Druid to send back a report to explain the situation here, but he also thought of some ways to deal with it.
However, in this case, his lightning strike fleet may have to take some risks...
This forced Wang Sheng to reconsider again and again.
After all, while His Majesty the Emperor gave him the lightning strike tactics, he also repeatedly told him not to be wary and to avoid head-on battles with foreign fleets. He only needed to use night raids to continuously reduce the opponent's combat power.
When the time comes, Europa players, who are the enemies of foreign players, will naturally know what to do.
In other words, his mission was just to quietly help the two Europa fleets kill these three foreign fleets while ensuring the safety and concealment of his own fleet.
However, according to Wang Sheng's current understanding of the situation on this maritime battlefield, the two Europa fleets were badly beaten by the joint attack of the two Fuso fleets and the Gallic fleet earlier.
Although so far, he has fought two relatively successful waves of lightning strikes, which have somewhat reduced the opponent's naval combat power, it is obviously still not enough.
If he continues to fight with this one-hit-and-go style, even if he can win in the end, it will take a long time. However, in the order given to him by His Majesty the Emperor, there is a mention of 'as soon as possible'
Two words.
The current situation is obviously testing his decisiveness as the commander-in-chief of a fleet!
