Xu Man used a tough attitude to suppress the instability in the university alliance. Now that she has all the military institutions under the alliance in her hands, her position is still very stable without major mistakes.

Da Liang has now built 220 dhows in the shipyards of the four military ports, which has given Xu Man great confidence. Two days later, the new fleet was formed and sailed out of port, and the entire sea area was the hunting ground of the Sky Fleet and the Judgment Fleet.

The Blackfire Fleet continued to stop at the north of the Lord's Combined Fleet under the banner of the Pudong Fleet, and Da Liang used a model to lay out the formation of the Combined Fleet on the tactical chart based on the information provided by the Adjudicating Legion, and then deduced the naval battle that would occur in two days with Sidney.

In the exercise, Da Liang commanded the Combined Fleet of Lords, and Sidney commanded the Blackfire Fleet.

Seeing that the opponent turned out to be a fleet dominated by sloops, Sidney said: "If the lord only has one three-masted battleship and two two-masted battleships, I command the Blackfire fleet to destroy your fleet." ”

Da Liang pointed to the dhow on the periphery of the Lord's Combined Fleet and said, "I still have 80 sloops, which far surpass the Black Fire Fleet in terms of firepower. ”

Sidney shook his head and said: "If whoever has more artillery in a naval battle has an advantage, what else does the Pudong Fleet do with battleships?" The cost of a battleship is enough to build dozens or hundreds of sloops, and these sloops can be equipped with much more guns than a battleship. Adults, please take a look! ”

Sidney asked the Blackfire Fleet to line up a battle line, and then used a sloop to line up a battle line, saying: "Naval warfare is more about the ability to drop firepower in the area, and the real effective shelling is at a distance of 200 to 300 meters." After my Black Fire Fleet opened the battle line at sea, there were only about ten sloops within the range of the artillery engagement that could attack the Black Fire Fleet, and the other sloops could not attack us due to the problem of firing angles, and any amount of firepower was wasted.

Ten sloops had 50 guns, and all 90 guns on one side of ours were able to exert their power, nearly twice as much firepower as the other side.

The role of a dhow in the navy is to detect and establish a tactical separation zone, so it is more focused on speed, and defense is the weak point of the dhow. The brigs belong to conventional combat ships and pay more attention to defense, and our warships are completely crushing sloops in terms of defensive capabilities.

Therefore, the battle between a sloop and a two-masted battleship is basically a death sentence.

For example, this deduced naval battle. After entering the battlefield, I used the 'Skeleton Soldier' and 'Skeleton Warrior', which have strong defensive capabilities, as the lead and tail ships of the fleet, close to the coastline and close to the enemy fleet, so that the enemy fleet could not attack us from the beginning to the end.

In the midst of an exchange of fire on the battle line, the enemy fleet will soon find that fighting us with a dhow is a good way to give us a victory, and even if the three-masted and two-masted battleships are sent up, they are no match for us.

Their only recourse is to sail out to sea, lure us away from the coastline, and then use the speed of a dhow to attack us from head to tail.

If they change course and sail out into the open sea, we can rush in and defeat them.

If their front remains intact.

We can avoid being attacked head to tail by taking a serpentine route.

Again, their firepower can't be exerted, and even if they occupy some advantageous positions, they can't threaten us.

In short, the difference in the performance of the warships of the two sides is too great, as long as we can maintain a good formation and keep an eye on their three capital ships, we will have no problem defeating this fleet dominated by sloops without losing air supremacy. ”

kao！

In Sidney's mouth, this fleet that flaunts its might on the sea is like a native chicken, any number is a floating cloud, and it can be crushed directly.

But with just seven warships in the Black Fire Fleet, is it really no problem to fight more than eighty ships in the Lord's Combined Fleet?

"Can the Blackfire Fleet really win against so many ships?"

Sidney said confidently: "As long as we don't make big mistakes, there is no problem in defeating them." Of course...... If you want to annihilate them all, you still need a large number of dhows to cooperate, after all, the enemy fleet is dominated by fast sloops, and if you escape, our warships will not be able to catch up. ”

If the Blackfire Fleet can really crush the Lord's Combined Fleet, the Sky Fleet and the Judgment Ship will only fight in the late stage, and the losses will be reduced by a lot.

In order to prove Sidney's claim, Da Liang used the Combined Fleet of Lords to deduce Sidney on tactical charts.

Sure enough, as Sidney said, as long as the Black Fire Fleet makes good use of the terrain or takes the serpentine route, there are far more warships in the Great Bright Sky than the Black Fire Fleet, but most of them can only watch the battle. Sidney was even able to make the Combined Fleet only eight ships to engage in a firefight with the Blackfire Fleet through Da Liang's mistakes and movements.

With no warships to resist the attack of the Blackfire Fleet, and the unsuppressed Blackfire Fleet was in full swing, the Lords' Combined Fleet could only use the refueling tactic to fill the battleships into the middle of the battlefield one by one. And many of the dhow battleships that Da Liang put into the battlefield will be sunk if they can't even find their positions, and they are simply waiting in line to die.

After deducing back and forth several times, the combined fleet of lords commanded by Da Liang ended in a fiasco, once again proving that the naval battle is indeed the place where the giant ships and cannons show their might.

Da Liang used his authority to check the naval battle plan drawn up by the General Staff Office, and estimated the loss of 50-60 sloops.

"Stop, stop, it doesn't cost money to build a battleship, and you can't catch a battleship if it sinks. The loss of 60 dhow ships is the loss of 600,000 gold coins. The naval battle plan was redone, and the task of all sloops was to prevent the rout of the combined fleet of lords from escaping and minimize losses. ”

The staff of the staff office asked a little puzzled: "Commander of the Daliang Legion, our dhow ships are all preventing the defeated lord combined fleet from escaping, so who will defeat them?" ”

Da Liang, who learned all the tactics and countermeasures from Sidney, coaxed: "Of course, it is the commander of this regiment, and I borrowed two three-masted battleships and five two-masted battleships from the Pudong fleet. When the time comes, I will be responsible for attacking the combined fleet of the lords, and you can just make a plan for the later encirclement and annihilation. ”

"Seven ships fight more than eighty ships, big guy...... Drink too much, right? ”

"I'm not drinking, I'm sober! Just do what I say. When the time comes, watch it carefully, take a good video, and watch the textbook stage of the regiment commander for you, what is the victory of the weak over the strong, and what is the crushing of the rank. Those of you who are engaged in staff officers, don't think about winning by numbers, you have to learn tactics, do you understand tactics? ”

"Okay, you're the Legion Commander, you call it up."

The officers of the General Staff Office, under the orders of Da Liang, began to reformulate the tactics of the sea.

The brigs carrying the corpse of the red dragon reported that they had docked at the Shidongkou pier and were escorted by an undead army to Jiading City.
