Chapter 366: Scarlet Dawn 1
Night is the best cover for war, and on the vast sea, a steel battleship advances in the wind and rain.
Today was a stormy night. At least in the southern part of the country of Canglan and Langya, it is wind and rain.
On the battleship Revenge, Ning Hu stood in the command room, his eyes were like tigers descending from the mountain, desperately looking for targets at sea.
To be precise, the Transformation Period has long since come to find out the layout of the Langya Country on the sea. Although for various reasons, at present, within the entire scope of the Elephant (known world), everyone agrees that the incarnation period cannot be used for no reason, but it is not said that the target cannot be detected!
At this time, it was about four o'clock in the morning, and just two hours ago, Hongyunzi flew over from the country of Qixia. Hongyunzi, who was in the late stage of the transformation of the gods, only took two hours to cross thousands of miles - from the country of Qixia to the country of Canglan The distance from the seaside is about 7,000 miles.
Hongyunzi came to Qianlong Harbor in the Land of Canglan, and the Revenge battleship in Qianlong Harbor immediately set off.
Because it was summer, the dawn was early, and it was close to dawn. But today, the sky is particularly gloomy due to the wind and rain.
Hong Yunzi, as well as the two gods of the country of Canglan: the royal family Taizu Ning Yi - the peak of the middle stage of the god transformation, and the general of the Zhenguo Yue Feilong - the middle stage of the god transformation stage, the three of them sat on the beach together.
The three Transformation Stages should be enough to resist the Transformation Stages sent by the Turbulent Nation and the Freedom Movement. Unless the Loose faction wants to tear their faces now, everyone generally won't kill them directly in the open:
At the beginning, the Dingshan Daoist was played to death by Zhang Hao, and it was not considered to be killed directly; what really killed the Dingshan Daoist was the Jinyang Kingdom that was co-opted by the Carefree faction.
Speaking of which, the Loose Sect can only knock out teeth and swallow blood!
In desperation, he dug up the country of Langya, blocked the Emerald Sea, and tried to completely block the maritime trade routes of the Xuanzhen Sect. But because of the rise of the Ocean Group, this blockade has also completely failed.
However, Xuan Zhen will not fight back and scold or fight back, and the country of Canglan that has been directly blocked is even more crazy. It's been almost a year since the war started last year. During this period of time, the country of Canglan has been somewhat overwhelmed.
The sea route was cut off, resulting in the scarcity of pills in the country of Canglan, and the price of pills was rising, and the price of ordinary Peiyuan pills had risen to 5 spirit stones - this was still the result of the Lingfeng Group's transfer of pills from the country of Qixia, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. But even so, unrest is already brewing in the country.
The land of the sea is desperate to break the naval blockade.
Competing with the Ocean Group for the open sea route, the country of the canglan never thought - one ship will cost 60 million high-grade spirit stones, buy three boats, and the whole country will eat soil for ten years!
In contrast, breaking the blockade of the Emerald Sea is more practical.
I have scuttled all the ships of your Langya country, and I want to see what you have to do to block the sea.
The battleship is advancing frantically, this Revenge battleship, the Ocean Group has not shrunk - the first transaction, the Ocean Group is still very honest. In addition to the lack of guns, there are also many 460 mm naval guns, 300 mm naval guns, 100 mm naval guns, and 460 mm depth charges.
In addition, there are more than 20 ballistae that are crazy and sharp at the same time. These 'crossbows', powered by explosives, are enough to shoot through the primordial infancy - if they can hit.
After opening the formation, the battleship soared directly to a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, and shuttled rapidly on the dark, stormy sea. Crashed through one wave after another, like a sharp arrow through countless obstacles.
On the battleship, the barrel of the cannon has been raised, and the ballista has revealed the cold and shining arrow tip, which reflects the dim light of the battleship and the light and shadow of the storm, making the arrow tip show a bit of cold hideousness.
Suddenly, Yuan Yingji, who had been scouting the enemy's tracks in front, returned and reported the enemy's location. About 70 kilometers ahead, there was a team of sailors from the country of Langya, and the team actually had a 'Black Iron Battleship' and 12 traditional warships.
The Xuantie Battleship, an imitation of the battleship of the Langya Country, was built with low-purity Xuantie, and the ship capsized in the first sea trial. But with the strong shipbuilding foundation of the country of Langya, they finally researched the Xuantie battleship.
The difference is that these Black Iron warships are not the 'point-bottomed ships' of the Ocean Group, but traditional flat-bottomed ships. But relying on its own heritage, the country of Langya solved the problem of flat-bottomed boats. As long as the technology is passed, relying on the weight of the Xuantie battleship itself, it is enough to keep the battleship stable.
Moreover, the country of Langya is confident that if the warships of the country of Qixia appear again, they will definitely be able to scuttle the other party.
Li Kepeng, commander of the Second Naval Division of the Land of Langya, stood on his own Xuantie battleship and Arowana, full of spirit. Although the displacement of the Arowana is only more than 3,000 tons, it is already equipped with 300 mm guns, and a large number of strong crossbows are installed on the side of the ship - magic weapon level strong crossbows, which are controlled by the Yuan Infancy.
These powerful crossbows are powerful enough to shoot through the city walls at close range. And the effective range of the powerful crossbow controlled by the Yuan infant stage is as high as three kilometers! Three kilometers away, it still has thirty percent of its power.
The biggest difference between the Arowana and the warships of the Land of Qixia is the power system. The Arowana is completely driven by formations. However, if you want to drive such a huge battleship, no matter how good the formation is, the output will be limited after all. The limit speed is only about 100 kilometers, and the spirit stones consumed make the emperor of Langya a little distressed.
Generally defensive enchantments, after the enchantment is formed, it will self-circulate, and the energy consumption is not much. But the power formation is different, it is continuously consumed. The formation is powerful, but it is built on high energy consumption.
In addition, in order to keep up with the speed of the battleship, these wooden warships sailing at sea also had to be equipped with formation power systems.
However, as long as the sea surface can be blocked, it is enough. The country of Langya took advantage of the monopoly of maritime traffic and obtained relatively rich returns.
Li Kepeng stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the sky, tonight, the rain was rapid, whether it was a 3,000-ton Arowana or a 10,000-ton warship, in the waves of this sea, like a leaf, bumpy and continuous. But the fleet was still sailing south.
"General, there is no need to patrol in this weather, right? The soldiers are a little complaining. The adjutant general spoke next to him. Floating on the sea every day, everyone has more or less complaints in their hearts.
During this period of time, in order to blockade the sea, the soldiers of the sailors had suffered enough.
Li Kepeng thought for a while, and finally nodded, "It's okay, I'm ready to return...... ......"
"Boom!" a violent explosion erupted from the center of the fleet, but it was too far away and perhaps inexperienced to hit the target.
To the west, about five kilometers away, there was a faint flickering fire.
"Enemy attack!" Li Kepeng roared angrily, "Open the barrier, disperse, and surround the west!"
The lieutenant also screamed and flew back to his post and began to direct the battle. The battleship Arowana turned around and rushed towards the west first. The battleship is at full speed and sprints towards the target at a speed of more than 100 km.
Behind, the wooden boat also began to accelerate. Compared with the warships with a deep draft, the speed of the wooden warship is even faster.
One after another, the shells fell on the side, but fortunately, the response was timely, and it was difficult for the shells to hit the battleships and warships in the high-speed maneuver, and the shells missed one after another. Occasionally, those that hit were also blocked by the defensive barrier.
But the sea water overturned by the shells caused the nearby warships to start rocking.
On the Arowana, Li Kepeng looked at the shells behind him and smiled, "Isn't it so powerful." Just now, this hit rate is not enough...... One in twenty!"
Both sides began a frantic sprint. The relative speed exceeded 150 hundred kilometers - the Arowana had just accelerated and had not yet reached its maximum speed.
The distance of five kilometers is rapidly shortened.
On the Arowana, Li Kepeng sneered, "Everyone pay attention, the other party seems to be a battleship, and it is likely to be the Revenge of the Land of Canglan." Ships 1 to 6, outflanking in the south, are to bite each other like wolves.
Attack me hard, don't care if you can hit or not, you can't stop attacking. It's best if I can break the opponent's defensive barrier, and I can't also consume the opponent's energy and contain the opponent as much as possible.
Ships 7 to 10 harassed the other side in the north and contained the other side's military deployment.
The 11th and 12th warships went to the north to patrol and prevent ambushes. After making sure that there was no ambush, they joined up with the northern detachment and surrounded and annihilated the other party. ”
Ships 1 to 6 followed the initial direction of travel, adjusting slightly like a target. The angle of the 7 to 12 adjustment is a bit large, and the speed is affected.
The battleship Arowana, on the other hand, responded in the middle and rushed straight towards the battleship Revenge.
It's not that Li Kepeng doesn't measure his own strength, but he believes that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road! The Xuantie battleship of my country of Langya also needs a crazy victory to sacrifice!
Moreover, there are warships on both sides to contain them, and the strength that the other side can exert is limited. Especially for battleships, the attack power (salvo) of the side side is the most powerful, and the attack power of the bow is somewhat weak.
Li Kepeng frantically calculated, "Keep the speed and rush over." Our ships are short, their ships are high. As long as the distance is close, the guns on the side of their ships are decorations. They will show us the belly of the crocodile!
We're going to tear each other's abdomen open like a sharp knife!"
"Whoa......," the crew shouted, the crossbows were ready, the artillery was loaded, and they were waiting for the final battle.
At a distance of five kilometers, it was quickly approached. In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was already approaching 500 meters. Relying on the cultivator's powerful facial features, they could see each other even before dawn in the stormy dark sea.
On the Revenge, Ning Hu sneered, "Courage is commendable. It's a pity, no brains! Depth charge preparation!"
A few seconds later, depth charges were fired, and three 460mm depth charges landed near the Arowana.
"Didn't hit...... Aim at each other for me......" On the Arowana, Li Kepeng smiled.
But the next moment he was stunned. I only felt that a huge force suddenly came from under my feet, and the Arowana with a displacement of 3,000 tons actually flew up to a height of more than three meters, so that the position of the ship's side was higher than the bow of the Revenge, and it was just aimed at the two 460-mm main guns in the bow.
At this moment, the gunners of the main guns seized the opportunity and opened fire.
