Hong Yazi was stunned by Gu Xingdong's words. After thinking for a long time, he still had to nod. Although there was something wrong in it, for the time being, it seemed that it was really the case!
The current war seems to be the best interpretation of this statement.
In fact, in the next few days of war, Gu Xingdong implemented this idea to the end. In three days, Gu Xingdong fired 10 million artillery shells like crazy! Along the way, he used artillery shells to clear the way.
But the results were crazy. The Xiaoyao faction's army was like an egg under a hammer, retreating again and again, constantly collapsing.
In three days, the Xiaoyao Sect lost almost all of the Southern Tang Kingdom, leaving only the last few checkpoints and the border defense line between the East and the Lingyun Kingdom. The Lingyun Kingdom was the birthplace of Feng Zhiling, and was once known as the Lingfeng Kingdom.
.
Not only that, the morale of the Xiaoyao faction has dropped to the extreme! It must be uncomfortable to be beaten passively all the time. Not to mention the heavy casualties.
Under the crazy attack of artillery fire, only the Yuanying stage is qualified to save his life, but it is only "qualified", which does not mean absolute. You must know that in the attack of Qixia Kingdom, in addition to artillery, there are also crossbows.
The ballistae is specifically targeted at masters in the Transformation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, etc.
There are also sniper rifles. At close range, sniper rifles are enough to severely damage Yuanying Stage, causing them to lose their combat effectiveness, or their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.
In the past three days, on the battlefield of the Southern Tang Dynasty, more than half of the Xiaoyao sect's legions were killed or injured, and their morale was on the verge of collapse. The continuous retreats also resulted in a large loss of baggage, weapons, etc., which were given to the Xuanzhen sect.
And in these three days, the Kingdom of Northern Tang regained its coastline.
Under the cover of artillery, everyone's casualties were almost negligible. Moreover, the morale was high, and a large amount of loot was obtained, which led to an even higher morale.
Under the circumstances, the Xiaoyao faction's legion on the southern front was already in danger, and a sense of uneasiness began to spread within the army.
The entire Xiaoyao faction in the south is facing the problem of complete collapse of the front.
Of course, this information was also obtained by Xuanzhen Sect.
"This is the effect of ten million artillery shells!" On the Xuanzhen Sect's side, Gu Xingdong said to Hongyazi with some pride, "If it were based on the previous confrontation, our expenditure would not be less than this, and there would be casualties.
Even more tragic.
On the contrary, it is not as good as this, and we also get a lot of baggage, trophies, etc. It also destroys the enemy's morale!"
Hong Yazi continued to be stunned. This world seemed to be getting stranger and stranger!
But it's not just the land that's crazy, it's also the sea.
The Atlantic Fleet of the Ocean Group and the Pearl Fleet of the Qixia Country have been searching the sea for several days. However, the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Xiaoyao Sect seems to have disappeared!
On the vast sea, it is really difficult to find a fleet that is deliberately avoiding it. Not to mention that practitioners have cheating methods to hide formations, barriers, etc.
In the vast sea, if you really make use of the hidden formation barrier, as long as the battleship stops and does not produce water marks, it can be easily hidden ten kilometers away.
After searching for several days but not finding it, with more than half of the fuel consumed, and being in the hinterland of the Xiaoyao Pai sea area, Zhao Yuhang proposed to return.
"Agreed to return!" Shu Bennan nodded. It has been almost ten days since we left, and the soldiers also need to take a rest.
The two fleets continued to move in tandem and began to sail toward the west.
But after sailing for only about half a day, the sailors on the observation deck suddenly shouted, "Something suspicious was found in the distance, suspected to be traces of an formation!"
Zhao Yuhang's eyes suddenly became alert. He quickly flew up to the observation tower, and after just one glance, his expression changed drastically: "Prepare for war! Prepare for war! The fleet immediately turned around and headed south to seize the "D" position!
Use auxiliary formations to assist the warship in turning, and do not reduce the speed!"
The auxiliary formation of turning is something that the fleet has never shown before. At the critical moment, it is enough to change the situation of the battle.
Such as right now.
About ten kilometers ahead, an abnormal wave shadow appeared, which looked a bit undulating. This kind of fluctuation was not very obvious, but at this time the fleet was sailing to the west, and the sun's rays in the sky happened to be at the right angle, so it was visible.
However, it is still not obvious, and you will miss it if you don't pay attention. After all, this is a formation arranged by the Holy Land, how could it be discovered so easily. So this discovery is also due to the sailor's seriousness, sharp eyesight, responsibility, and of course luck.
Unless the sunlight is at the right angle in the sky, it would be really difficult to spot it.
And if it is discovered too late, the battleship's strong inertia is enough to plunge into the encirclement. The consequences will be unimaginable.
Fortunately, at this moment, God seems to be on the side of the Kingdom of Qixia. The strange angle of the sun actually exposed the traces of the formation.
The fleet began to turn around, turning almost at a right angle of 90 degrees with the help of the formation. After discovering the situation here, the fleet also responded. The invisible formation barrier suddenly disappeared, and a huge fleet appeared!
Zhao Yuhang's pupils shrank when he saw this fleet. There were six steel battleships, among which there were actually two Zhenyuan-class warships! In addition, there were a full 20 black iron battleships.
Behind, there are more than 500 skinned warships.
All these ships have set up a "concave" battle formation, obviously waiting for the fleets of the Qixia Kingdom and the Ocean Group to take the bait. The inner encirclement of this battle formation is thirty kilometers wide, enough to separate the Qixia Kingdom and the Ocean Group.
The battleships of the Ocean Group were swallowed up in one gulp.
Seeing the formation ahead, Zhao Yuhang was frightened for a while. If the sailor hadn't discovered it, the fleet would have entered an encirclement and been attacked from all directions.
But now, the fleet was lucky enough to discover it in advance and turned around ten kilometers outside the opponent's ambush circle.
"Failed!" Xiaoyao faction, aboard the Hailong fleet, the fleet commander "Ting Songzi" roared angrily.
As a rare talent of the Xiaoyao sect who is proficient in military affairs, Tingsongzi served as the commander of the 'new' Sea Dragon Fleet, and promoted Yan Zhen, the former governor of Surabaya Port of Langya Kingdom, as deputy commander, to jointly command this unprecedented fleet, at least
Xiaoyao Sect is unprecedented.
And for today, Ting Songzi has been preparing for a long time and planning too much.
He knew that the information could not be completely kept secret, so he released part of the information about four steel battleships. In fact, after the sneak attack on the Weihai fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect, the actual salvage and dismantling was beyond imagination.
Although Lu Xuanyu, the commander-in-chief of the Weihai Fleet, also ordered the battleship to be bombed and sunk, the quality of the steel battleship... was really good. Most of the structures were intact. There were only some problems with power, but many important parts were also dismantled.
Parts and components.
Later, I heard Songzi's order to continue bombing the remnants of the Weihai fleet, just to cover up what he had gained.
During this period of time, the Xiaoyao sect worked together, and Wang Ruiyang was really capable. They actually repaired four Iron Duke-class steel battleships and two Zhenyuan-class steel battleships.
The number of Xuantie battleships in the Xiaoyao Sect's Sea Dragon Fleet has also increased to 20.
In the end, more than 500 skinned warships were added. After the last battle, Ting Songzi discovered that skinned warships were actually useful, such as harassing enemies on the periphery.
These skinned warships can use small-caliber naval guns, and the range can reach more than ten kilometers. When there are enough small-caliber attacks, they can still cause serious damage to the target.
But all plans seem to have come to nothing today. Well, at least half of them have come to nothing.
After seeing the opponent turn south, Tingsongzi made an immediate decision: attack! Don't let the enemy have a chance to react.
But when the Xiaoyao faction's Sea Dragon fleet prepared to attack, they were shocked to find that the opponent actually completed a U-turn in less than a minute!
"Dayang Group really has a hand! It's still a very crucial hand!" Yan Zhen next to him said angrily.
"Normal!" Listening to Songzi's expression, it would be strange if Dayang Group didn't spare a hand. However, the current situation is indeed not optimistic. I originally wanted to ambush the opponent, but I didn't want to be exposed in advance, but the fleets of Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom grabbed it again.
D' position, this is not good news for the Sea Dragon Fleet!
However, the Sea Dragon Fleet also has an advantage, that is, it is already prepared. When the barrier is revoked, the naval guns will start firing. Unless the barrier is revoked, the invisible barrier will deflect the light and affect aiming.
However, the fleets of the Ocean Group and its affiliated countries have more combat experience. Although it was sudden, the response was very quick: the defensive barrier rose instantly, and the naval guns were fired immediately without aiming.
