Issue 6 Chapter 4 Burning 4: Speed of Life and Death
A small decisive battle broke out.
The Weihai fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect did not immediately turn south, but launched a frantic attack first. Before the arrival of the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Free Faction, the Jinghai Fleet of the Shaoze Country should be weakened as much as possible.
At the same time, Lu Xuanyu also commanded the warship to carry out a local covering attack on the enemy ship - catch a few enemy ships and give me a deadly attack, and I will not change the target if I don't sink it!
But the morale of the Jinghai Fleet was high at this time, and the battleships returned fire while moving to the southeast. The Jinghai Fleet did not simply retreat, but retreated while attacking, and this battle was almost a decisive battle.
Lu Xuanyu did not allow the other party to retreat safely, and Xiao Yunlong obviously knew that war was not a game, and it was not possible to withdraw if he wanted to. It can even be said that the more you get to the end, the more difficult it is to quit!
The guns roared, the flames set the sea on fire, and the shells rained down and the entire sea was blown to pieces.
The warships on the Xuanzhen Sect's side fought head-on with the warships. From time to time, you can see the warship being blown into pieces, and a large number of wood chips are spread all over the sea.
But again, in the face of the saturation attack of the warships, the warships of the country of Shaoze sank one after another.
The two sides are engaged in a race to the death.
Lu Xuanyu led the main fleet, relying on the excellent technology of the steel battleships of the Dayang Group, and desperately bit the Jinghai Fleet, without relaxing at all.
The Marines mechanically reload their cannonballs, wait for orders, fire, spell their chambers, and reload them again.
In this highly efficient state, the battleship can fire a salvo in almost 20 seconds. However, considering the actual situation, taking into account the speed and stability of the battleship, etc., it will take almost a minute to come to a salvo. Within a minute, there will be a harassing attack by some small-caliber artillery.
The two fleets as a whole advanced side by side, almost close to each other, and their respective warships and warships became fewer and fewer.
Ten minutes later, the Weihai Fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect had 42 battleships and 570 warships left, while the Jinghai Fleet of the Shaoze Country had 120 warships left.
In another ten minutes, the Weihai Fleet had 38 warships and 418 warships left, while the Jinghai Fleet had 97 warships.
In another 10 minutes, the number of warships of the Weihai Fleet was sharply reduced to 27 and 303 warships, while the number of warships in the Jinghai Fleet was sharply reduced to 72 -- the distance between the two fleets was less than 800 meters! The naval guns had been completely leveled.
This is already fighting bayonets!
The gunners on both sides could even see each other's eyes, and could see the glowing shells in the flattened guns.
Ballistas, depth charges, and other means of attack were all used. Both sides have reached the craziest extremes.
The sniper rifles were aimed at each other, and the bullets with the ability to break the ban sent their respective defensive enchantments into ripples like water ripples. The only thing that could stop these bullets was a steel baffle half a meter thick.
Fortunately, there are not many bullets with the ability to break the ban, and the pricing of the Ocean Group is terrible, and the price of a bullet is almost the price of a high-grade magic weapon. It is a hundred times more expensive than a 460 mm shell, and twice as expensive as a shell with the ability to break the ban!
In the sky, the battle of the Transformation Stage was finally decided at this time. At the cost of losing 57 people and seriously injuring more than 200 people, the Xuanzhen Sect's Transformation Period killed 66 people in the Shaoze Kingdom Transformation Period and seriously injured more than 300 people.
In the end, the Xuanzhen Sect still had more than 180 people in the combatable forces of the two sides, half of whom were slightly injured, and less than 160 of the combatable forces of the Shaoze Country remained, of which nearly 100 were slightly injured.
The country of Shaoze had to retreat.
However, the retreat of the Transformation Period of the Shaoze Country, the Xuanzhen Sect can't catch up, everyone is exhausted, and they still need to take care of the injured on their side. The most important thing is that a large number of masters of the Transformation Stage have appeared in the distance, and the masters of the Xuanzhen Sect must seize the time to rest!
Lu Xuanyu wanted to use naval artillery and other things to support the battle of the Transformation Period, but now when he was fighting in the Transformation Period, he was far away from the battleship. I have suffered a lot, and I have already formed experience.
In the fifth 10 minutes of the decisive battle, that is, at about 8:20 a.m., on the southeast sea, the figures of the free faction and the sea dragon fleet had already appeared!
"All the Transformation Stages have entered the battleship!" Lu Xuanyu yelled. The Avatars quickly entered the battleship, and the fleet quickly made adjustments.
The damaged battleship immediately turned around and sailed northwest to prepare to return to port, so that the Weihai fleet was left with 22 steel warships.
When they set off in the early morning, there were 72 steel warships, but now there are only 22 steel warships left! Even if all of them are calculated according to the price of 10,000-ton warships and 60 million high-grade spirit stones, they have also lost 3 billion high-grade spirit stones. If you count the war pensions, various ammunition, and warships in the later period, these losses are more than 4 billion!
The actual loss will only be higher!
The battered, badly damaged battleships left, but none of them left!
From the moment the warship goes out to sea to fight, it is doomed to the fate of consumables! Of course, it is good to be able to go back, but it is not possible to go back...... There's no going back.
At this time, a large number of Yuan infancy began to exert force, using spells to push the warship forward quickly, came to the side of the battleship, and began to replenish ammunition and spirit stones for the battleship. The officers and men on the warships were also added to the battleships - many of the superstructures of the warships were attacked frantically, and the sailors, naval officers, etc. suffered heavy losses.
The battleship was replenished, and it took about ten minutes. Even the masters of the Transformation Stage acted as transport workers.
At this time, the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Carefree faction was already approaching 20 kilometers and was about to enter the combat zone.
The Jinghai Fleet of the country of Shaoze, with 65 warships left, is fleeing forward at a rapid pace. The 65 warships raised the flag of the country of Shaoze, and Xiao Yunlong stood at the bow, directing the battle (fleeing) while waving ahead.
In front, the commander of the Sea Dragon Fleet, Tingsongzi, stood in the bow of the ship coolly, and there was also the deputy commander Yan Zhen next to him.
Yan Zhen was once the governor of Langya Country and Surabaya Port, and the name of the Sea Dragon Fleet also started from the country of Langya, and was later taken over by the Loose faction and continued to develop.
In the Sea Dragon Fleet, the real commander-in-chief is actually Yan Zhen - not everyone knows naval warfare, especially in the era of such steel warships;
At this time, listening to Songzi, he explained to Yan Zhen, and rushed out with the transformation period. But they didn't rush forward in one go, but just took off to prepare for itβit would be a bit dangerous to wait until the battle started and then try to take it off.
Listening to Songzi turning around in the sky, he looked at the more than 500 energetic transformation periods on his side, and immediately decided to charge the Weihai fleet in front.
More than 500 gods quickly crossed a distance of 20 kilometers, and at a distance of three kilometers from the battleship, they used magic weapons, talisman seals and other attacks, and even some mastered the supernatural powers, and it was a wave of attacks against the battleship.
It's just that after crossing three kilometers, the power of magic weapons, talismans, supernatural powers, etc., has decreased too much. Three kilometers later, these attacks were difficult to break through the battleship's strong defenses. It's just that the warship still can't stop such an attack.
On the battleship of the Weihai fleet, Lu Xuanyu calmly looked at the transformation period three kilometers in front of him, and the corners of his mouth brought a sneer and mockery - coward, you have the ability to get closer, the effective attack distance of the ballista is three kilometers!
The defensive barrier on the battleship was strengthened to the maximum, and the ship's guns slowly raised their heads. The ships that have completed their supply are ready to fight the seas again.
The next moment, artillery fire gushed out, and shells rained down on the fleeing Jinghai Fleet in front.
"You guys, there are no shells!" Lu Xuanyu sneered at the Jinghai Fleet in front of him, which was fleeing and dodging in confusion. When supplying on his side, the opponent's attack is pitiful. It is certain that the opponent's ammunition should be very small, so I don't know if it is completely gone, or if it is left alone.
However, in this case, it is unlikely that one hand will remain.
"Forget it, whether you keep a hand or not, just send you to the sea!" Lu Xuanyu ignored the attack of the Transformation Stage in the sky, and the attack from three kilometers away could not break through the battleship's defense. As for the remaining ships, let's start retreating. In the next battle, the warships could no longer help.
Battleships and damaged battleships began to retreat. But the Loose Sect did not let go, and still divided more than two hundred Transformation Divine Stages to pursue.
An enchantment rises on the surface of the warship, and some of the gods stand in the battleship's enchantment, attacking outwards to fight for the warship's survival.
Lu Xuanyu glanced at the situation on the side of the warship, and then stopped paying attention - he couldn't be distracted. The top priority at the moment is to completely bury the Jinghai Fleet of the country of Shaoze.
If you miss this opportunity, you don't know if there will be a next one. Especially this time both sides suffered heavy losses, and they were afraid that they would not be able to organize the next naval battle.
During the battle, the reinforcements sent by Xiaoyao and the Sea Dragon Fleet finally entered a distance of 13 kilometers! This distance is the limit of the accurate distance of the steel battleships of the Ocean Group.
The Sea Dragon Fleet, all the cannon barrels, burst into flames. Regardless of whether the warships of the Ocean Group or not, they all began to attack.
The maximum attack distance of the naval guns is actually more than 20 kilometers, and the maximum distance of the main naval guns on the battleships of the Ocean Group is even more than 40 kilometers, but the accurate attack distance, that is, the attack distance with a hit rate of more than 5%, the maximum limit is 13 kilometers.
In fact, with the development of the navy, as everyone becomes more familiar with and controls the technology of steel battleships, the hit rate of battleships is ...... Decline!
Because everybody can dodge and maneuver!
Lu Xuanyu commanded the battleship to make a serpentine maneuver and continued to sprint forward.
Ahead, the Sea Dragon Fleet was in high spirits, with 300 warships and 2,000 warships covering the sea, like a steel wall.
At this time, Lu Xuanyu's eyes were extremely bright and sharp, and one strategy after another flew through his mind, and finally fixed on a few of them:
If the battleship turns around immediately, it will form a rout, chase and escape battle, and the U-turn will inevitably lose speed, and the battleship is bulky, even if it takes a large arc U-turn, it will still lose speed, space and distance, which is very dangerous!
If you are bitten because of this, then there is really no place to die!
And once they are transferred, those warships in the rear that are trying to get out of the battlefield will not be able to escape even a single one.
The most important thing is that I want to be a bait, and if I turn around and then go south, it will be too obvious. Don't take the enemy for a fool.
Conversely, if you sprint forward yourself...... Then go south at speed, and the enemy can be fooled.
But just like that, he rushed over, and 22 warships on his side charged more than 300 warships and more than 2,000 warships head-on...... It looks like he's going to die heroically.
However, it is not without opportunities;
That is, to take risks!
Lu Xuanyu's eyes flickered, and he immediately ordered: "The battleship is advancing due south and passing past the opponent's left flank." β
The 22 warships immediately adjusted their direction - they had previously moved in a southeasterly and southerly direction, about 25 degrees east-south, but now they adjusted their direction slightly and headed due south.
The Weihai Fleet gradually widened the distance between it and the Jinghai Fleet of the Shaoze Country, but the distance between the two was still within the attack range, and the Weihai warships still did not give up the attack. At this time, the Jinghai Fleet is a toothless tiger, and it must take the opportunity to kill some warships!
Not only that, but as the approach to the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Loose Sect approached, the Jinghai Fleet of the Shaoze Country was also asked to slow down and turn around on the spot - you can't impact our formation. This gave Lu Xuanyu and the Weihai fleet another chance.
It's just that at this time, the fleet of the Xiaoyao faction also began to attack, and Lu Xuanyu had to command the fleet to do a serpentine maneuver, and he also lost a lot of hits.
After about ten minutes, the Yasukai Fleet of the Shaoze Country finally stopped and turned around, and their number of warships had dropped to less than 50, and only 45 warships remained. Most of the states are more miserable.
At this time, the Weihai Fleet also lost one battleship again, and the remaining 21 battleships crossed the left flank of the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Carefree faction. The distance between the two fleets has widened from the nearest 8 kilometers to about 10 kilometers, and the distance is getting farther and farther.
The 21 warships of the Weihai Fleet were lined up, each with a distance of more than 300 meters between the front and the back, but the battleships were not in a straight line, but were arranged in a curve, and their direction of advance also showed a serpentine maneuver.
This arrangement increases the difficulty of the opponent's aiming and concentrating.
Of course, this arrangement will also reduce the accuracy of your attacks.
At this time, facing the Weihai Fleet, there were only three columns of battleships and warships on the left flank of the Hailong Fleet, which added up to only about 30 warships and 100 warships.
The frantic attacks of the fleets of both sides, especially on the side of the Escapees, no longer care about the salvo, and are completely attacked when they are saturated. The same is true of the Weihai fleet. The barrels of both sides are a little hot!
Lu Xuanyu began to calculate the time when the two fleets were completely staggered:
The 21 warships of the Weihai Fleet were towed out of a distance of 10 kilometers in front and back - the length of the battleships was about 200 meters, and now the distance between the warships was about 300 meters, and the 21 warships were towed out of 10 kilometers, which was already very compact.
The formation of the sea dragon fleet on the opposite side is relatively spacious, with the distance between the front and rear of the warships being 500-600 meters, and the distance between the warships being 300 meters. The distance between the front and rear of the fleet is a full 30 kilometers.
The two fleets wanted to be completely staggered, wanted twenty minutes or so.
It's twenty minutes of life and death!
Really, life and death!
