When Zhang Hao was in pain and happiness, there was only pain in the outside world.
Under the shadow of war, no one can sleep peacefully. Especially the warring parties, strategic alliances and anti-aggression alliances.
As the plan was exposed, the strategic alliance began to accelerate its deployment. All preparatory actions were suddenly accelerated or even advanced.
Just that night, the fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze left the port without sufficient preparation and disappeared.
The entire anti-invasion alliance was in turmoil for a while. Especially the fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect, which was the closest, also began to leave the port for patrol.
The Xuanzhen Sect has just captured the Qianlong Port, the port of the Canglan Kingdom. At this time, there are still many explosions and damage in the Qianlong Port that have not been repaired. The condition of the port is very bad. In just three or two days, the Xuanzhen Sect has simply failed.
It is impossible to restore the situation here, and even the basic personnel are not available.
Waiting until dawn... Mingjiao's Zhuzhou port suffered a sneak attack! The sneak attack was the Sea Dragon Fleet of Xiaoyao Sect!
What was attacked was not the Xuanzhen Sect’s current port, Qianlong Port, but the Ming Sect’s northern port, Zhuzhou Port!
Zhuzhou Port is the largest port of the Ming Sect and the second port in the north of Taotu Continent, second only to the Beihai Port of the Xuan Ming Sect.
However, Beihai Port has colonial attributes and is mostly commercial. However, Zhuzhou Port is completely owned by the Ming Dynasty and was built entirely according to militarized standards.
It can be said that Zhuzhou Port is the largest military port in the north of Taotu Continent. In the entire Taotu Continent, it is second only to Jinsha Port in the west of Tiandu Sect. This is where Dayang Group first traded with Taotu Continent.
Even including Fertile Island, West Kunlun, etc., Zhuzhou Port ranks among the top ten ports.
However, at this dawn, the Xiaoyao faction's fleet suddenly appeared here and attacked Zhuzhou Port.
As for what everyone is paying attention to, the fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze did not appear until the war broke out. On the vast sea, no one knows where this fleet has gone!
Zhang Haotian got up before dawn, put on his clothes, came to the office, looked at the map on the wall, and asked solemnly: "What is the damage to Zhuzhou Port?"
The new secretary made a report seriously: "According to the telegram, the port has a defensive barrier and excellent security facilities, and the damage is not serious.
However, due to the sudden attack, he hastily responded to the challenge and fell into passivity.
The Xiaoyao faction's fleet, consisting of 300 steel battleships and black iron battleships, bombarded the port for a full hour. The gunfire lit up the sky and the surrounding areas of the port were devastated.
The port itself is not in serious trouble because of the barrier, but the surrounding areas of the port are in ruins. A large number of supporting facilities, even port factories, warehouses, workers, etc., have been reduced to nothing."
Zhang Hao's face was heavy and his eyes were shining. Sometimes, you really can't blame your teammates for being stupid. Sometimes, it's really the enemy who is too smart.
The Kingdom of Shaoze dispatched a fleet and attracted the attention of all parties; but they did not expect that the fleet of the Xiaoyao Sect was the main force and directly attacked the port of the Mingjiao.
Now it seems that the strategy provided by Dayang Group to the Anti-Aggression Alliance has been aborted before it even started!
It is conceivable that if the anti-aggression alliance fails to respond appropriately, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zhang Hao thought for a moment and felt that there were no rescue measures. But... after thinking about it, Zhang Hao sighed again. It would be enough to help him once. Any further action would not be in line with Dayang Group's current status.
To attack once is for friendship. To attack twice is for ulterior motives! And it will make both parties vigilant!
And Zhang Hao believes that the anti-invasion alliance will not be too fragile. After all, there are seven holy places in Xuan Zhen Sect, Xian Yin Sect, Tiandu Sect, Ming Sect, Xuan Ming Sect, Da Luo Zong, and Jiuyou Sect. How many of them are there?
Thousands of years of accumulation have given them enough resilience!
"Just watch quietly. See how others fight!" Zhang Hao finally made a decision and notified Dayang Group's spies and others via telegram to collect intelligence. At the same time, Zhang Hao also ordered that Dayang Group's 'charity fleet'
Set off to rescue people at sea.
The rescue was done along the way, mainly by letting the naval generals of the Ocean Group and others observe the war at close range.
Soon, the "Charity Fleet" of Dayang Group and the Country of Qixia, under the banner of huge charity, loaded with relief supplies, medical supplies, and a large number of medical personnel, set off with great fanfare.
The fleet set off from Heilin Island at the beginning of sunrise and when the sky started to get brighter. After leaving Heilin Island, it split into two, one team went to Zhuzhou Port and the other team went to Qianlong Port:
Just after dawn, the "Jinghai Fleet" of the Kingdom of Shaoze finally appeared. The "Weihai Fleet" of the Xuanzhen Sect was lucky enough to meet each other on the sea, and a decisive battle broke out between the two sides from the beginning. The total number of fleets on both sides, including warships
Wait, there are more than three thousand, covering the sea in mighty force!
At this time, the Jinghai Fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze had 85 steel warships, among which it purchased excellent warships from Dayang Group, and the rest were built by itself. In addition, there were more than 200 black iron warships; skinned warships
More than 1,500.
The Xuanzhen Sect has only 72 large and small steel battleships and no Xuanzhen Iron Battleships. The Xuanzhen Sect has no direct industrial base. All steel battleships are purchased from Dayang Group, or even purchased with loans.
In addition, the Xuanzhen Sect has more than two thousand skinned warships. In fact, these so-called skinned warships are all improved from merchant ships.
Compared with real steel warships, the maneuverability of skinned warships is greatly reduced. These warships are more of a "causing chaos" and cause chaos to the enemy.
After several years of development, the skinned warship is actually quite impressive. It has a keel made of low-grade black iron and can withstand the recoil of twin 460mm cannons. Therefore, the skinned warship has been built into a mobile fort on the sea.
.
The role of these warships is to provide fire support when warships are fighting or attacking ports.
At dawn today, the Mingjiao port enjoyed such an attack.
The Xiaoyao faction used more than 2,000 skinned warships to bombard Zhuzhou Port continuously for more than an hour. Each warship poured out a full 300,000 large artillery shells at a speed of two shells per minute. Plus the warships
, the total number exceeds 350,000!
What is the concept of dumping 350,000 artillery shells in one hour? Even if all calculations are based on 300 mm artillery shells, and the charge of each artillery shell is calculated as 200 kilograms, it is still 70,000 tons of explosives!
These explosives are all gold explosives purchased from Dayang Group. These gold explosives are actually spiritualized TNT, and their power is five to six times that of normal conditions.
In other words, Zhuzhou Port is equivalent to being attacked by a medium-sized nuclear warhead!
Although the God Transformation Stage is very powerful, a large number of explosives are gathered, and the power far exceeds the total attack power of the God Transformation Stage, not to mention... the God Transformation Stage is not idle either!
Except for the port and warships protected by the barrier, the entire Zhuzhou Port has long been turned into ruins.
At this time, the Kingdom of Shaoze also wanted to attack the Xuanzhen Sect. However, it was stopped by the Xuanzhen Sect at sea!
"Damn it!" Xiao Yunlong, commander of the Jinghai Fleet in the country of Shaoze, put down his telescope and patted the railing angrily, "Failed!"
But it was said that Xiao Yunlong led the Shaoze Kingdom fleet and set off in the early morning. However, they did not attack immediately at the beginning, but cooperated with the Xiaoyao faction to set up a trap.
According to the analysis of Xiao Yunlong and the Shaoze Kingdom think tank, when the news of the attack on the Mingjiao spreads, the Xuanzhenjiao will inevitably respond, such as retreating to defend, or going south to support.
At this time, the fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze only needs to activate the invisibility barrier or illusion formation and stop quietly in the sea. The vast sea is so vast, as long as the formation is used well and does not actively sail, causing navigation
If the enemy wants to find him, he is almost looking for a needle in a haystack.
After the situation of the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet is determined, the fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze will suddenly appear at Qianlong Port and blow up Qianlong Port.
The location where the Shaoze Kingdom fleet is docked is only 800 kilometers southeast of Qianlong Port. As a saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place!
In fact, things developed according to the plan of the Shaoze Kingdom. After hesitation, the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet prepared to go south to support.
However, no one expected that as soon as the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet left the port, the fleet suddenly turned back to the east!
Xiao Yunlong didn't know what happened, but he knew...according to the direction of the Xuanzhen Cult fleet, everyone would collide!
"Is this a good thing done by Dayang Group?" Xiao Yunlong naturally thought of Dayang Group. But he soon shook his head. He only made the decision to dock the fleet here at sea, and he did not allow telegrams and other information to be sent to the sea.
Sending information means that it is impossible for the outside world to know.
That can only be...an accident!
In short, after determining the opponent's direction of advance, Xiao Yunlong made a prompt decision, canceled the stealth formation, and the fleet immediately accelerated.
As the commander of the navy, Xiao Yunlong knows very well that a large part of the power of a battleship comes from its movement and speed. If you think that you can rely on stealth and wait for the enemy, it is completely wrong. That will make you lose your speed advantage in the decisive battle.
Make the battleship a living target.
…………
When Xiao Yunlong made his decision, the Xuanzhen Sect and the God Transformation Stage scouts sent by Lu Xuanyu, commander of the Weihai Fleet, also discovered the other party. At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred miles.
After Lu Xuanyu confirmed the situation, he reported to the land on the one hand and corrected the formation of the fleet on the other. Finally, he looked scared and ecstatic!
But it was said that the fleet had just left the port, and Lu Xuanyu suddenly thought about the port of Shaoze Kingdom. At this time, the defense capability should be weakened, right? Why not go for a sneak attack?
Unexpectedly, we encountered the hidden fleet of Shaoze Country halfway!
On the vast sea, the two fleets happened to meet each other. This was really God's will.
But Lu Xuanyu looked up at the eastern sky. At this time, the sun had already emerged a little above the sea level, emitting thousands of golden lights. The Weihai fleet was facing the sun, while the Shaoze Kingdom fleet had its back to the sun.
Lu Xuanyu made a decisive decision: You cannot attack directly, otherwise the hit rate of both sides will be several times different!
Lu Xuanyu immediately decided to go south, preparing to seize the position in the south.
In the sky, the masters of the Divine Transformation Stage from both sides were already fighting.
This time, it was not a tentative confrontation, but a real battle of extermination. As soon as the two sides came into contact, an extreme war broke out. The magical powers of both sides took action directly, and in the blink of an eye, blood rained from the sky.
The transformation stage is powerful, but magical attacks are even more powerful!
Different from the magical masters of Dayang Group, the masters of magical powers of Dayang Group possess a "set" of magical powers, including attack, defense, and movement, at least three!
But at the moment, the magical powers of both sides mainly focus on attack! Everyone lacks the means of defense and avoidance (movement).
This leads to a result: if I attack, you can’t stand it; if you attack, I can’t stand it either!
The final result was that when everyone met, they stabbed three or five of each other to death, and seriously injured a dozen more!
Only then did everyone realize what the problem was. However, everyone was a master with rich combat experience. Obviously, they couldn't retreat at this moment, otherwise they would die faster. The only thing they could do was to pay more attention.
Soon, the magical masters of the Xuanzhen Sect began to gain the upper hand. The Xuanzhen Sect followed the orthodox approach, that is, the most complete path to the transformation stage of gods and magical powers, as well as foundation, fighting endurance, etc., far surpassing that of the Kingdom of Shaoze.
The masters of magical powers in the Kingdom of Shaoze all have the foundation of the golden body realm, and then use the same kind of golden elixirs and other magical powers to practice. Their foundation is far inferior to the magical powers cultivated with the spirit of immortals.
The magical masters of the Xuanzhen Sect gradually gained the upper hand, but a large number of divine transformation stage (golden body realm) people from Shaoze Kingdom swarmed in, preparing to use their numbers to make up for the disadvantage.
During the battle, the fleets of both sides were chasing each other on the sea. Xiao Yunlong was not a fool. Of course, he could not let the other side easily seize a favorable position and ordered the fleet to sail to the southwest to prepare for an interception.
About 22 minutes later, at 6:30 in the morning, the distance between the forward lines of the two fleets was less than 10 kilometers.
At this time, the overall direction of movement of the two fleets was to the south. The Jinghai Fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze was in the east, and the Weihai Fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect was in the west. In the end, the Weihai Fleet failed to seize a strong position.
Lu Xuanyu looked at the sea level, frowning deeply, his condition was really bad. At this time, the sun had just jumped out of the sea level, and the sunlight sticking to the sea became the best cover for the enemy fleet!
But now the two sides are so close, they can only fight bravely!
Lu Xuanyu made a decisive decision: "Get ready, full right rudder!"
All the warships began to turn sharply, causing crazy waves on the sea. The leading 30,000-ton Arctic-class warships even caused waves of more than 70 meters.
The battleships quickly moved sideways, aiming their sides at the enemy, and the entire fleet began to sail southward.
"Order No. 3, fire!" Lu Xuanyu was the first to give the order to attack.
Order No. 3, all naval guns point at the opponent's skinned warship!
Time is tight in battle, and some fixed orders have been solidified into serial numbers in advance, which will greatly increase command efficiency.
Under the unified command of the telegraph, more than two thousand warships opened fire at the same time. Flames from the gun barrels began to spurt out, and war began to burn on the sea.
More than 4,000 artillery shells crazily crossed a distance of more than 10 kilometers and rushed towards the target.
Nowadays, artillery technology has made great progress, but the effective attack distance of warships is still 10 to 15 kilometers. No matter how far it is, the artillery shells can fly, but the accuracy is already terrible.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Yunlong also issued an attack order!
A crazy naval battle officially kicked off.
(Sorry, Calvin. I looked up some naval battle information by the way.)
