Chapter 26: Preparations for War
Aerospace battleships are the crystallization of alchemy technology and sailing technology, and are divided into five classes according to the size of the aerospace battleship.
Tier 5 air-space battleships are the smallest.
Total load capacity: 2000
Maximum armament: 60+40 (three-tier gun deck, 40 side guns, 10 bow guns, 10 stern guns, 40 ballistae)

Primary Forbidden Device: 1 (Protects against magic attacks below level 2)
Steering force: 50-100 (50 on the water, 100 in the air)
Propulsion: 40-110 (40 on water, 110 in the air)
Standard sailor: 400
Necessary sailors: 75
Maximum sailor: 700
……
If you want to defeat an air-space battleship, in addition to using an air-space battleship, you can only use the top or a large number of conventional air forces to break through in the air with ballistas, long-range attacks and magic on the battleship under the condition of controlling air supremacy.
According to the current strength of the Black Fire Fleet, it is not qualified to fight with a low-level air-space warship.
In the face of Da Liang's refusal, Bartlett said: "We have no intention of letting you face the Jeju fleet alone, the Nanhui fleet can temporarily assign a small fleet to your command, including 5 three-masted warships, 15 brigs, and four large air force garrison ships, plus your Black Fire fleet, our fleet strength on the surface has surpassed Viscount Bob's fleet." ”
"Aren't there any air-space battleships? The elevation angle of the guns of surface warships is probably not able to attack the battleships in the sky. ”
Bartlett said, "No, Nanhui City does not yet have the ability to build an aerospace battleship. However, I will bring 10 Thunderbirds and 20 Dapeng to participate in this battle, and Nanhui City specially allocated 3 squadrons of dragon flies for this battle. This time, all the troops transferred from Nanhui City and Fengxian City will temporarily belong to the sequence of the Black Fire Leader. Because we are attacking the Jeju Fortress fleet, we can't leave them any excuse if we don't want the Jeju fleet to sail up the river. ”
Julian, Astro, and Bartlett are all the best of the 14th level creatures, 10 Thunderbirds (Level 10 Orcs), 20 Roc (Level 9 Orcs), 300 Dragonflies (Level 6 Swamps), plus 150 Griffons that Da Liang can use.
This time, the air power of the Black Fire Fleet can already compete with the detachment of Jeju City.
And surface warships can crush them.
The odds of winning are relatively high, and you can fight.
The big highlight nodded and said: "Let's fight, when will your fleet arrive?" ”
"Tonight. The dungeon fleet is more capable of night battles, and we attack in the early morning and decide the winner during the day. ”
"Okay."
Da Liang contacted Sidney in the Pudong Fleet Military Port: "Has the new ship been delivered?" ”
"A three-masted battleship, two two-masted battleships, and four sloops have been delivered, and I have assigned trained sailors to each ship, and as soon as the captain can be in place, it will be ready to form combat effectiveness."
In order to train enough sailors, the Blackfire Fleet has a very large amount of training, just so that when there are new ships, there will be enough people to drive the ships.
After learning that Da Liang had commissioned the Pudong Fleet Shipyard to build a new ship, Sidney, who received 500,000 gold coins, once again raised the fleet's training intensity by a level.
"You pick two potential heroes to be the captains of two brigs, and I've got a beginner's nautical skill here for them to learn. All four sloops were sent to the Black Flame Territory to serve as a guard post in the outer seas of the territory and as a training ship to train sailors. ”
"Yes, my lord."
"Now the Blackfire Fleet is heading to Dust Island, ready for battle."
"Yes, my lord."
The Black Fire Fleet sailed out of Pudong Military Port and headed for Feichen Island.
Julian, Monica, and Sidney fly to Dust Island to join Da Liang first.
In the tactical command room of Flying Dust Island, several of the main heroes who participated in this naval battle gathered around a nautical chart.
Bartlet, who had already done a good job of scouting Viscount Bob's fleet, placed the model ships on the chart.
"The Jeju Fleet Viscount Bob's fleet has a total of one Tier 5 air and space battleship, four three-masted battleships, and ten two-masted battleships. There are two black dragons, four red dragons, and the number of other harpys is about 280-350. We didn't see the manticore in Viscount Bob's fleet, and we think that the functions of the manticore and the dragon overlapped, and the enemy didn't have a large number of deployments, so they wouldn't have too many manticores even if they did.
At this time, Viscount Bob's fleet was stationed on the south side of Aoba Island off the coast of Shangjiang.
By night, the size of our Black Fire fleet can reach 7 three-masted battleships, 21 two-masted battleships, 4 air force garrison ships, two archangels, a frost dragon, and 480 other air units.
……”
After Bartlett introduced the strength of both sides, he handed over the tactical deployment to Da Liang, who looked at Sidney.
At this time, Sidney already had the bearing of a fleet commander, and said while moving the ship model: "Aoba Island has an area of 30 square kilometers, and it is the largest island in the northern part of the Shangjiang River, with fresh water and dense vegetation. Ships sailing from south to north pass through here, both on the mainland coast and on the Korean Peninsula, so the strategic location of this northernmost territory on the upper river is very important. In the past, there was an elven army stationed on it, which belonged to Chongming City by default.
On the south shore of Aoba Island, where Viscount Bob's squadron is stationed, there is a dock where ships can be moored, and the dock is relatively small and cannot accommodate too many ships. That is to say, the soldiers in the dungeon can only take turns to go ashore to rest to maintain their morale, but their morale will definitely not be very high, and fighting during the day will be very uncomfortable for the underground creatures who are accustomed to the dark environment of the underground, and their morale will drop very quickly. ”
With that, Sidney looked at Monica, the only underground creature she had.
Monica nodded and said, "Yes, the sun makes me very uncomfortable during the day, especially when I walk down the street at noon, I feel very bad and just want to find a dark place to sleep well." ”
Da Liang said: "Then we will postpone the time of the official attack and start the general attack at noon." ”
Sidney shifted the model of the Blackfire Fleet and said, "The best time to attack at noon is indeed the best time, when the sun is due south and the light is strongest. Our fleet is approaching ...... from directly south of Aoba Island."
While Daeliang was gathering his subordinates to prepare for an attack on the Jeju City Fleet, Flying Sand and Stone also gathered his right-hand men from the Juggernaut Legion station.
Looking at the round table in front of him, a group of well-known players in the previous life were sitting around, and the obscurity in Shi Fei's heart was finally eliminated a little.
"What is certain now is that the gold merchants are secretly planning a large-scale national war, and once the national war begins, no one can stop it, and then the price of gold will grow wildly. Not only will we suffer heavy losses, but in the future, our economic lifeline will also be in the hands of gold merchants, which I absolutely cannot allow. Finding the real starting point of the national war and attacking them when they gather men is our last chance.
Half-moon cat, you are in charge of our master's intelligence work, tell me what you have found? ”
