Lu Xuanyu watched calmly. After repeatedly confirming that the other party had actually formed a heaven-sealing and earth-sealing formation, the corners of his mouth turned up and he softly uttered two words:
Innocent!
Are you naive? Yes! The improved version of the Sealing Heaven and Earth Locking Formation was completed by Dayang Group, and Lu Xuanyu knew a lot about it. For example, atmospheric pressure, which is rarely known to the outside world, etc.
Although the technology of the Sealing Heaven and Earth Locking Formation was leaked, not a single word of the core information was leaked! However, Zhang Hao disclosed more technologies in order to stabilize the Xuanzhen Sect.
In short, it is not easy to set up an array on the sea, especially under the current situation. The array requires a stable and solid foundation, but there is obviously no such environment on the sea at the moment.
Taking a step back, even if the opponent's formation is really successful, will it be useful against steel battleships?
The answer is almost never!
The main power of the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation is to extract spiritual energy, trap the opponent, and the extreme gravity caused by the disappearance of the spiritual energy; but if you want to complete this plan on the sea, the possibility is almost zero. Seawater is not land!
Not to mention, the battleship itself has its own formation, and has a large amount of spiritual stone reserves inside, which is enough to withstand the power of the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation. The steel battleships manufactured by Dayang Group are not toys.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xuanyu calmly ordered: "The battleship will keep its current direction without changing its direction. It will operate at overload and the speed will increase to 120 kilometers! Hit me!"
Because the battle formations on both sides spread out over a thirty-kilometer area, although the Weihai fleet of the Xuanzhen sect has seized the 'T-shaped position' and has begun to advance to the southeast, it is still impossible to completely escape the coverage of the Xiaoyao sect's fleet. Of course, this is also what Lu Xuanyu
Deliberately arranged.
Therefore, under the command of Lu Xuanyu, the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet was like a sharp knife thrust into the southern edge of the Xiaoyao Sect's fleet, where there were about thirty or so skinned warships.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than three kilometers. The distance was so close that the naval guns of both sides were almost flat and firing at each other.
But at this time, the distance between the main force of the Xuanzhen Sect fleet and the main force of the Xiaoyao Sect fleet, the steel battleship and the Xuantie battleship, had widened, and the distance between the two sides had been stretched by ten kilometers.
But the distance between the two fleets is very close. But this "closeness" is not friendly to the Xiaoyao faction:
The skinned warships of the Xiaoyao Sect and the steel warships of the Xuanzhen Sect met!
How could a skinned warship defeat a steel warship in such a close range exchange?
The ballistae were fired one after another, and these powerful ballistae shot through the skinned warships. Several ammunition depots of the skinned warships were even detonated on the spot, and a crazy explosion broke out on the sea.
But this is just the beginning!
"Want to set up a formation? I'll knock off a corner of yours first!" Lu Xuanyu ordered coldly: "Sink these more than thirty warships for me! Let's see how they can set up a formation without a corner!"
Eighteen steel warships should not take it too easy against thirty or so skinned warships. A salvo of ballistae fire hit all the warships. Even a few unlucky Nascent Soul Stages were directly nailed.
on board.
The naval guns were specifically aimed at attacking below the waterline. Every explosion caused warships to be blown away. After two waves of attacks, when the distance between the two sides narrowed to about two kilometers, more than 30 warships within the target range were all destroyed.
There were fragments. There were panicked people everywhere in the sky and in the sea.
However, Lu Xuanyu didn't care about these people, and instead turned his guns to aim at another group of more than 20 warships a little further away. These warships were about four kilometers away, and both sides were about to miss them.
However, the power of the naval guns made up for the lack of space. Under a crazy concentrated fire attack, these more than 20 warships were sunk again. At this point, the Xiaoyao faction's more than 300 warships were less than half.
The fleets of both sides passed each other.
However, changes happened at this time!
After the Xiaoyao faction's fleet missed the main force of the Weihai fleet, it attacked the more than fifty skinned warships behind! The ratio of the number of warships on both sides was three times the difference!
On the Hailong, Ma Jianliang, the navy commander of the Langya Kingdom, gritted his teeth and said: "Our plan is not to seal the heaven and earth at all! It is just a deception. The first purpose is to destroy these fifty or so of yours.
A warship. Then... let's take our time and play!"
Then he ordered the surrounding people: "Everyone listen to the order, replace the high-grade artillery shells, and sink all the skinned warships in front of me!"
At this moment, tens of thousands of artillery fire were launched, all of which were high-grade artillery shells. By the time the skinned warships from the Xuanzhen Sect reacted, it was already a little late.
We were originally defending the enemy's sealing formation, but unexpectedly the enemy actually used naval guns to attack. In an instant, half of the warships were sunk; the rest were panicked, but the second wave of attacks arrived, and then the third wave of attacks.
…
After four waves of attacks, all the warships were sunk; this time the Xiaoyao faction only paid the price of ten warships.
But Ma Jianliang did not stop there. He issued a cruel order: "Replace ordinary artillery shells with ballistae to attack people in the sky and sea!"
Those in the Nascent Soul stage, get out of the boat and fight!"
Because the warship was sunk, there were chaotic sailors everywhere in the sea and in the sky. Most of the ones in the sea were in the Qi Refining stage, and most of the people in the sky were in the Foundation building stage and above.
But all these sailors were panicked at this time, and under the attack of ballistae and cannonballs, they suddenly started to wail!
The ballistae shot through every master of the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages; there were also many Golden Core and Nascent Soul masters who escaped the attack, but were entangled by masters flying out of the Xiaoyao faction's fleet.
This battle was completely dominated by Ma Jianliang; by the time Lu Xuanyu reacted, it was already too late! Only a few people with golden elixir or above escaped.
"Ah..." Lu Xuanyu finally became angry and could no longer remain calm!
Not only Lu Xuanyu was angry, but also Ning Hu, the navy commander of the Canglan Kingdom.
The Weihai fleet began to turn around, and the wolf pack tactics officially began. Lu Xuanyu coldly ordered: No survivors!
After a wave of charges, the Weihai fleet separated as planned, forming three detachments and began to surround the Xiaoyao faction's fleet to attack. At this moment, the advantages of the steam turbine were revealed.
With the assistance of formations, steam turbine warships are faster and more flexible. In comparison, Xiaoyao faction's warships are a bit bulky. Although formations are good, they want to rely entirely on formations to drive a ship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons.
Battleships, and even warships, are a bit difficult.
Because this kind of formation application is unprecedented!
The Weihai fleet caught up with the opponent, bit the opponent's tail, and began to attack after taking the initiative.
The Xiaoyao faction's fleet tried their best, but could not get out of the predicament, and were bitten by the Weihai fleet!
The Weihai fleet is divided into three parts, and the three parts cooperate with each other and cross-attack. Without the skinned warships, the power of the remaining eighteen steel warships seems to have completely exploded!
However, the Xiaoyao faction's fleet was not a toothless tiger. It fought back and also caused damage to the Weihai fleet.
By around 14:00 in the afternoon, there were only 16 battleships left in the Weihai Fleet. Two 10,000-ton battleships were sunk this time. Many of the remaining battleships had been hit. Especially the flagship Endeavor One, the superstructure
Another artillery shell was hit, but the main structure of the battleship was not damaged.
In comparison, there are only a dozen warships left in the Xiaoyao faction, and two of the three black iron warships are left. The only steel warship Hailong has a main gun on the bow that has misfired, and the front deck is twisted and deformed.
At this time, the fleets of both sides were showing a parallel attitude, sailing towards the southern waters.
The fleets of both sides maintained a distance of seven or eight kilometers and began the most intense confrontation and bombardment since the war!
At a distance of seven or eight kilometers, the ballistae is useless and all depends on the naval gun. And at this distance, the range of the skinned warship is barely enough.
The contest at this time was more like a duel of courage. At this point in the battle, both sides were using high-end artillery shells, warships or defensive barriers on warships, etc., which had little effect.
Cannonballs fell like raindrops, and water columns rose into the sky around every warship. From time to time, cannonballs hit the target, causing a flame to rise, or other surprises occurred.
The Xiaoyao Sect seemed to have become ruthless. They completely captured the three 20,000-ton warships of the Xuanzhen Sect and bombarded them indiscriminately; for other warships, they mainly used defensive attacks.
During this period, a 460mm artillery shell once again hit Lu Xuanyu's flagship, Endeavor One, but it turned out to be a dud! Compared with the mercury fulminate currently used by Dayang Group, the Xiaoyao faction can only use gunpowder to detonate mercury fulminate. Dayang Group has not leaked mercury fulminate.
technology!
The time quietly came to 15 o'clock, Xuanzhen Sect's Endeavor III was shrouded in misfortune. The bow of the ship was hit by three shells at almost the same position, and it was finally overwhelmed. The third shell fell into the cabin, and the explosion occurred again.
The bow of the battleship was directly torn open, and the 20,000-ton battleship quickly raised its butt towards the sky, revealing its huge propeller that was still spinning crazily.
Then, the battleship sank in an unstoppable manner. Facing the behemoth of more than 20,000 tons, even cultivators were powerless unless the Transformation God stage took action. But in this war, no Transformation God appeared head-on.
However, the Xiaoyao faction paid a heavier price. The only steel battleship, the Sea Dragon, had its superstructure flattened and was hit one after another.
However, luck seemed to favor the Hailong this time. Although it was hit three times, all of them hit the superstructure. The superstructure was flattened, but it also blocked the power of the shells, and the main structure of the battleship was preserved. But at this time, only
The naval gun at the stern of the ship can still fire. The speed of the battleship has also begun to slow down.
The remaining two black iron warships were all sunk. As for the warships, there were only three left at this time. But after just one wave of attacks, these three warships were completely sunk.
When Xiaoyao was sent to sea, out of the mighty fleet, there was now only one almost crippled Hailong.
This battle has come to an end!
There are five battleships on the Xuanzhen Sect's side, trying to surround the Hailong and prepare to capture the other side's battleship. Although the Hailong is a bit miserable at the moment, it is also a steel battleship! It can be repaired and used.
Moreover, if the Hailong can be captured, it will be a huge blow and shame to Xiaoyao Sect!
The battleships cut across the sea and surrounded the Hailong.
