(Sorry, I was dragged out by my friends to drink and have barbecue tonight to brag.)
However, it was said that the Atlantic Fleet of the Ocean Group and the Pearl Fleet of the Qixia Kingdom started a salvo as soon as they discovered the target and before completing their aiming.
Maybe the first launch was not very accurate, it could even be said that it was not aimed at all, and it was just launched casually, but don't underestimate the experience of the sailors. Moreover, the first launch can shock the enemy and panic the opponent's formation.
This is also true. With such a quick salvo, almost all the shells missed. But it gave the enemy a huge shock. The Sea Dragon fleet did not expect that the opponent's counterattack was so fast and violent, so many sailors were so frightened that they squatted down.
.
The first attack by both sides was a little hasty; after all, the first hit rate was higher for the prepared Sea Dragon Fleet. However, the hasty attack did not have much impact on the Atlantic Fleet and the Pearl Fleet.
When both sides attacked for the second time, things began to change.
The hit rate of Ocean Group's Atlantic Fleet has increased rapidly. The latest aiming control system allows gunners to perform better. This is due to the advancement of technology, as well as the accumulation of experience.
However, the situation is not optimistic.
On the flagship of the Atlantic Fleet, Zhao Yuhang looked at the Sea Dragon Fleet in the distance with sharp eyes, "The opponent has changed their tactics. More than five hundred warships have adopted wolf pack tactics to consume us. And the opponent's main battleships cannot be underestimated either.
!”
The lieutenant next to him asked carefully: "Do you want to use torpedoes?"
"It won't be used for the time being!" Zhao Yuhang took a deep breath, "Torpedoes are one of our trump cards and will not be used for the time being unless absolutely necessary. What we need to do now is still the attack of the giant ship's cannon.
The order was passed, and the naval guns should not disperse the attack. Each time, they should target three to four enemy warships and concentrate their fire. Once they were sunk, they would then aim at the next target.
As for those skinned warships, leave them to the Pearl Fleet."
As for the Pearl Fleet, Shu Bennan accepted Zhao Yuhang's suggestion, and the fleet immediately changed its attack direction and focused on attacking the skinned warships.
The two fleets have a clear division of labor.
On the sea, an unprecedented super naval battle officially begins.
The fleets of the two major camps in the battle lined up side by side, attacked each other, and sailed south together. There was constant artillery fire between the two sides. Compared with the last naval battle, the fighting methods of both sides have changed. The most important thing is that the fighting methods of both sides have changed.
Defense methods have also changed.
The defensive barriers on battleships are no longer easy to penetrate. Due to the needs of the war, new research has been conducted on the defensive barriers on both sides. The barriers are thicker and more complex, and can effectively block those with the ability to break the barrier.
Cannonballs. Of course, they still cannot be completely blocked, but at least their respective defenses are greatly improved.
The battle lasted quietly for half an hour. Both sides fired a lot of artillery shells, but neither achieved much results. Only the Xiaoyao faction's Sea Dragon fleet and a few skinned warships were knocked out, but it was of no consequence.
"General, the other side seems to be fighting a war of attrition!" Lieutenant General Zhao Yuhang said, "We currently have less than half of our fuel. If we want to return, we need at least 30% of our fuel.
The fuel we can still use now is less than 18%, and based on current consumption, we can only last 22 hours."
Zhao Yuhang nodded and said nothing. He looked at the other party with burning eyes, looking at the Sea Dragon Fleet ten kilometers away. This time, the Sea Dragon Fleet should be said to be 'reborn from the ashes'.
Last time, the Sea Dragon Fleet formed by the Langya Kingdom was completely sunk by the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet, resulting in heavy casualties. Even the commander-in-chief Ma Jianliang sank together with the battleship.
But this time, the newly born Sea Dragon Fleet seems to have a completely new look from top to bottom. Especially this time, the attack method has its own characteristics and tactics, which actually makes the combined fleets of Dayang Group and Qixia Country a bit difficult.
Without using torpedoes, long-range bombing is not very effective.
Zhao Yuhang gritted his teeth and said, "Get closer to me to a distance of three kilometers and attack with a ballistae! Also, at a distance of three kilometers, naval guns are enough to aim at the waterline of the ship and attack."
The deputy general became a little anxious when he heard this, "Commander, we will also suffer heavy losses!"
"How can you make progress if you don't suffer a loss? How can you build a strong navy if you are afraid of getting hurt!" Zhao Yuhang said, not recognizing a note twitching from his sleeve, which Zhang Hao handed to Zhao Yuhang before leaving:
The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold! If Dayang Group wants to go further, it needs a strong armed force; but if it wants a strong armed force, it can only be tempered on the battlefield!
So Zhang Hao asked that it doesn't matter if the battleships are sunk, as long as the sailors come back. The Ocean Group does not lack battleships, but it lacks talents and excellent sailors!
Under the command of Zhao Yuhang, the Atlantic Fleet began to get closer to the opponent. And the fleet suffered more and more attacks. As the distance approached, if the attack on our side was accurate, the enemy's attack would also be accurate!
And as the distance gets closer, the physical attack of the cannonballs also begins to strengthen, and more and more cannonballs break through the barrier.
Ten minutes later, a salvo from the Atlantic Fleet was successful. Five 460mm artillery shells hit a 20,000-ton repaired steel battleship of the Sea Dragon Fleet.
The superstructure of the battleship was instantly destroyed, most of the cannons were scrapped, and the foundation of the battleship's barrier was severely damaged. The barrier could no longer support it. The sailors on it made an emergency transfer and abandoned the battleship.
Then the Atlantic Fleet concentrated fire three times, completely destroying the 20,000-ton warship. A large amount of ammunition exploded, and the warship was blown into three sections in the shocking explosion and quickly disappeared on the sea.
It's not that Zhao Yuhang doesn't want to capture such a two-ton steel battleship, but he doesn't have the conditions at the moment. Having such a captured battleship might even hinder the fleet's strategy.
Therefore, we can only blow them up! Anyway, Master Zhang said, our Dayang Group has no shortage of warships! And warships like this that have suffered heavy damage and have been repaired are definitely not as good as new warships.
Another half an hour later, the bow of a 10,000-ton warship in the Atlantic Fleet was hit; fortunately, the shell landed on the side of the ship and did not cause serious damage. However, several sailors were seriously injured.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than six kilometers. At this distance, the naval guns were almost flat, almost firing in salvo. The main attack direction of the artillery shells was no longer the battleship, but the waterline.
One after another, artillery shells fell on the Atlantic Fleet, and the battleships were below the waterline, and some battleships began to leak.
Although the defensive barrier can protect against direct attacks from artillery shells, the explosion from under the water, as well as the powerful shock wave and cavity pressure, form a second attack. Under water, the power of this second attack may be greater.
.
But the Sea Dragon Fleet is not feeling well either. One black iron battleship has sunk, three 10,000-ton steel battleships have been seriously damaged, and many black iron battleships have been seriously damaged.
The naval officers of the Sea Dragon Fleet are far inferior to those of the Atlantic Fleet in terms of naval gun technology, aiming devices, war experience and confidence, and even psychological quality.
After all, the Atlantic Fleet has relatively deep roots, opening routes from the Dead Green Sea, and even encircling and destroying Mirages and Sharksaurs on the Dead Green Sea. Their long-term victory and pride have made them perform even better in the war. Especially in such a fierce battle.
In the confrontation, the performance is most obvious.
The influence of the first army on confidence and morale is immeasurable.
The hit rate of the Atlantic Fleet has gradually approached 90%, and precise attacks such as direct hits on the waterline are as high as 10%.
In comparison, the accuracy of the Xiaoyao Sect's Sea Dragon Fleet is much lower. Moreover, in terms of large-caliber naval gun technology, the Sea Dragon Fleet is also far behind.
The above gaps have already put the Sea Dragon Fleet at a disadvantage. Not to mention, the defensive capabilities of the Black Iron Battleships are inferior to those of the Steel Battleships. Those steel battleships that have been repaired... can only be regarded as 'incomplete repairs'.
The Xiaoyao Sect does not have the experience, technology and tools to build and repair steel battleships. In addition, the battleship itself has been damaged and the structure has become loose. You must know that the battleships of the Weihai Fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect are mainly riveted technology, explosions, collisions, etc.
etc. will lead to loosening.
The results can be imagined. With just a few underwater explosions, these battleships will begin to leak.
After the battle lasted for more than an hour, the distance between the two fleets was shortened to an unprecedented three kilometers!
Three kilometers, for cultivators, is already 'eye to eye'! At this distance, Nascent Soul Stage can already use flying swords to hurt each other. But the biggest damage at the moment comes from naval guns.
At this distance, dodge and hit rate don't matter at all. It all depends on whose battleship is stronger and whose cannon fire is sharper!
Also, let’s see who is braver!
At this time, Zhao Yuhang roared with red eyes: "Aim all the naval guns at the waterline for me! Prepare the crossbows and kill them for me!"
The time has come for the bayonet fight.
The gunners of the crossbows roared to take courage. One after another, the crossbows exploded, and one after another specially made super-powerful crossbow bolts capable of shooting through the transformation stage, shot through the opponent's defense and the side of the ship like lightning. Some soldiers of the Sea Dragon Fleet were killed.
Nailed to the ship's plank, even the cannons were attacked and deformed.
The ballistae is a super weapon developed by Dayang Group at close range. When the warships were able to kill the mirage dragon at sea and the shark dragon was defeated, a large part of the reason was the ballistae.
Of course, due to the proliferation of Dayang Group's technology, the opponent also has crossbows. But technically, they are inferior after all. And because of the lack of steel, the quality of the crossbow bolts made of black iron is also inferior. As a result, the crossbow bolts can penetrate the Atlantic Ocean.
The fleet's defense could only leave weak dents on the side of the ship.
Such a crazy battle lasted for just over half an hour, and the Atlantic Fleet lost two steel battleships, and almost all the other battleships were more or less damaged.
But the Sea Dragon Fleet was frightened, and the remaining warships actually began to disperse, trying to escape. In fact, they only had six scarred warships left, one 20,000-ton steel warship, and one 10,000-ton steel warship.
-level steel battleships, and four black iron battleships.
The rest of the warships have all sunk.
In another maritime war, the efforts of the Xiaoyao faction were once again shattered. This time, the crazy exchange of fire directly destroyed the opponent's confidence.
Such crazy shooting is a contest of life and death, as well as a contest of courage and morale; it is also a contest of science and technology!
In this crazy confrontation, the winner and the loser will often go to two extremes, either to advance triumphantly or to be completely defeated!
At the last moment, the Sea Dragon Fleet was completely at a disadvantage and completely collapsed. The remaining six warships fled like headless flies. The remaining skinned warships had long since fled in all directions.
But just when Zhao Yuhang was about to order a total annihilation, three hidden bosses in the Hailong fleet, three masters of the God Transformation stage from the Xiaoyao sect, came forward. They wanted to reintegrate the fleet and retreat safely.
Among the three stages of transformation of the Xiaoyao sect, the one who takes the lead looks particularly old, but it just looks old, which does not mean that he is really old. Cultivators cannot look at appearances. Maybe he is pretending.
But at this moment, Hong Yunzi and Ming Xuzi, who were in the Atlantic Fleet, appeared. Hong Yunzi burst out laughing as soon as he appeared, "Oh, isn't this fellow Taoist Xianyunzi? Where is this place in life really?"
We're not going to meet each other. Since Taoist friend has shown up, why should we leave in a hurry? How about coming over for a drink?"
Xianyunzi squinted his eyes and snorted, "Why, you want to stop us from leaving? Although I am old, I am still sure of killing you!"
Xianyunzi's words were very light, but the voice of the Divine Transformation Stage echoed throughout the world, and everyone could hear it clearly. There was a hint of domineering in the light words. I will kill you, there is no problem at all!
The smile on Hong Yunzi's face faded. This Xian Yunzi is not ordinary. In terms of seniority, he is even older than Hang Hong Yunzi! He is a real master in the late stage of transformation or even the peak. Of course, he is not
Will tell the outside world.
In short, he is much stronger than someone like Hong Yunzi who has just entered the late stage of becoming a god.
Not to mention, Xianyunzi has three divine transformation stages, while Hongyunzi has only two. Ming Xuzi has just entered the divine transformation stage less than three years ago, and is still a young grass.
Of course, Xian Yunzi did not dare to attack Hong Yunzi rashly. Although Hong Yunzi and Ming Xuzi were slightly different in cultivation, they had steel battleships.
Xian Yunzi is not sure of breaking through the defense of the steel battleship. A steel battleship is a complete super magic weapon! The naval guns have to attack frantically several times to break through the defense, and it is said that there is "exhaustible" manpower.
Although the God Transformation Stage is powerful, the steel battleship is even more powerful! Especially the crazy ballistae, especially the scene of the ballistae firing, made Xianyunzi's scalp numb.
Mirage dragons can shoot through them, let alone humans who are not as powerful as monsters.
But...but Hong Yunzi didn't dare to attack. Without him, Xian Yunzi was too powerful.
Now that Xianyunzi has to protect the remaining six battleships and the sailors on the battleships, he is also trying to protect himself. If Xianyunzi gets angry and doesn't care about the life and death of these sailors at all, and if he wants to fight the battleships to the end, the Atlantic Fleet may not be able to withstand it.
live.
In the stage of becoming a god, in addition to frontal attacks, there are also many spells and magical means. If you really have to fight for your life, the consequences are somewhat unpredictable.
And speaking of it, although the war is now very fierce, there is still no head-on collision between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect in their divine transformation stages!
Everyone is very cautious.
Hong Yunzi said nothing, but could only watch as the remnants of the Xiaoyao faction retreated leisurely.
Zhao Yuhang appeared next to Hong Yunzi and said with a faint smile: "Senior, there is no need to be angry. At least, this Emerald Sea will be taught by Xuanzhen from now on!"
