367 Scarlet Dawn 1
Night is the best cover for war. On the vast sea, a steel battleship advances in the wind and rain.
Today was actually a stormy night. At least in the sea area to the south of the Land of Canglan and the Land of Langya, it is windy and windy.
On the battleship Revenge, Ning Hu stood in the command room, his eyes were like a tiger descending the mountain, desperately looking for the target at sea.
To be exact, the Transformation God Stage had come here long ago to find out the layout of the Kingdom of Langya on the sea. Although due to various reasons, in the current scope of the entire earth phenomenon (known world), everyone agrees that the transformation stage cannot attack the Nascent Soul stage and below for no reason, but it did not say that the target cannot be scouted!
It was already around four o'clock in the morning, and just two hours ago, Hong Yunzi flew over from Qixia Country. Hong Yunzi, who was in the late stage of God Transformation, crossed thousands of miles in just two hours - the straight-line distance from the country of Qixia to the seaside of the country of Canglan is about 7,000 miles.
Hong Yunzi came to Qianlong Harbor in the Land of Canglan, and the battleship Revenge of Qianlong Harbor set off immediately.
Because it is summer, the dawn is earlier, and it is close to dawn at this time. But today, with heavy wind and rain, the sky is extraordinarily gloomy.
Hong Yunzi, as well as the two gods of the Canglan Kingdom: Ning Yi, the royal family's ancestor, the peak of the middle stage of the gods, and Yue Feilong, the general of the town, the junior of the middle stage of the gods, the three of them sat on the beach together.
The three God Transformation Stages should be enough to resist the Transformation God Stages sent by the Land of Canglan and Xiaoyao. Unless the Xiaoyao faction wants to tear up their faces now, otherwise everyone will generally not directly kill them:
At the beginning, Daoist Dingshan was killed by Zhang Hao, which was not considered a direct killing; the one who actually killed Daoist Dingshan was Jinyang Kingdom, who was recruited by the Xiaoyao faction.
Speaking of which, the Xiaoyao faction can only knock down teeth and swallow blood!
In desperation, they dug away the kingdom of Langya and sealed off the Sea of Emeralds, in a vain attempt to completely block the maritime trade routes of Xuanzhen Sect. But because of the rise of Dayang Group, this blockade also failed completely.
However, Xuanzhen will not fight back if he hits or scolds, and the Canglan Kingdom, which is directly blocked, is even more crazy. It has been almost a year since the war started last year. During this period of time, the Land of Canglan has been somewhat overwhelmed.
The sea route was cut off, which led to the scarcity of domestic pills in Canglan Country, and the price of pills has been rising steadily. The price of ordinary Peiyuan pills has risen to 5 spirit stones. The result of transshipping the elixir in the country, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. But even so, unease has already begun to brew in the country.
The Land of Canglan is eager to break the sea blockade.
Competing with the Dayang Group for the outer sea routes, the Canglan Kingdom never thought about it-one ship costs 60 million high-grade spirit stones, and if you buy three ships, the whole country will live on earth for ten years!
In contrast, breaking the blockade of the Emerald Sea was more practical.
I have scuttled all the ships of your Langya Kingdom, I want to see what you still use to block the sea.
The battleship is advancing crazily. The Dayang Group has not shrunk on this battleship Revenge—the Dayang Group was still very honest in the first transaction. Except that the guns are not installed, there are also a lot of 460mm naval guns, 300mm naval guns, 100mm naval guns, and 460mm depth charges.
Also, there are more than twenty ballistas that are both crazy and sharp. These 'crossbows' powered by explosives are enough to shoot through the Nascent Soul Stage—provided they can hit.
After the formation was activated, the battleship soared at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour; it shuttled rapidly on the dark, stormy sea. It crashed through one wave after another, like a sharp arrow piercing through countless obstacles.
On the battleship, the cannon barrel has been raised, and the ballista reveals the gleaming arrow tip. The arrow tip reflects the dim light of the battleship and reflects the light and shadow of the storm, making the arrow tip reveal a bit of cold ferocity.
Suddenly, Yuan Yingqi, who was scouting for the enemy ahead, returned and reported the enemy's location. About 70 kilometers ahead, there is a navy team from the Land of Langya. The team actually has a 'black iron battleship' and 12 traditional warships.
The black iron battleship is a copy of the battleship of the Langya Kingdom. It is made of low-purity black iron. It capsized during the first sea trial. But relying on the strong shipbuilding foundation of the Land of Langya, they finally developed the black iron battleship.
The difference is that these dark iron warships are not the 'sharp-bottomed boats' of Dayang Group, but traditional flat-bottomed boats. But relying on its own background, the Kingdom of Langya solved the problem of punts. As long as the technology passes the test, relying on the weight of the black iron battleship itself is enough to keep the battleship stable.
Moreover, Langya Kingdom is confident that if Qixia Kingdom's battleship appears again, it will surely scuttle the opponent.
Li Kepeng, commander of the Second Navy of the Kingdom of Langya, stood on his own black iron warship, the Dragon Fish, in high spirits. Although the Dragon Fish displaces only over 3,000 tons, it is already equipped with 300mm cannons, and a large number of crossbows are installed on the ship's side—magical weapon-level crossbows, which are controlled by Yuanyingqi.
These strong crossbows are enough to shoot through city walls at close range. And the effective range of the powerful crossbow controlled by Yuanyingqi is as high as three kilometers! Three kilometers away, it still has 30% of the power.
The biggest difference between Dragon Fish and Qixia Kingdom's warships is the power system. Dragon Fish is completely driven by formations. But if you want to drive such a huge warship, no matter how good the formation is, the output will be limited after all. The limit speed is only about 100 kilometers, and the consumption of spirit stones made even the great emperor of Langya Kingdom feel distressed.
The general defensive enchantment, the enchantment will self-circulate after forming, and the energy consumption is not much. But the power array is different, it is continuously consumed. Formation is powerful, but it is based on high energy consumption.
In addition, in order to keep up with the speed of the warships, these wooden warships had to be equipped with array power systems.
However, as long as the sea can be blocked, it is enough. The Kingdom of Langya has obtained relatively generous returns by monopolizing the way of sea traffic.
Li Kepeng stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the sky. Tonight, the rain was violent and the wind was violent. Whether it was the 3,000-ton Longyu or the tens of thousands of tons of warships, they were like a leaf in the waves of the sea, bumping constantly. But the fleet continued to sail south.
"General, in this weather, you don't need to patrol, right? The soldiers are all complaining." The deputy general said beside him. Floating on the sea like this every day, everyone has more or less complaints in their hearts.
In order to block the sea during this period of time, the soldiers of the Navy have suffered enough.
Li Kepeng thought for a while, and finally nodded, "That's fine, I'm ready to return to the voyage..."
"Boom!" A violent explosion erupted from the center of the fleet, but because of the distance, or lack of experience, it missed the target.
But in the west, on the sea about five kilometers away, there was a faint flicker of fire.
"Enemy attack!" Li Kepeng roared, "Open the enchantment, spread out, and encircle the west!"
The lieutenant also screamed and flew back to his post, and began to direct the battle. The Longyu battleship turned around and rushed westward first. The battleship is at full speed, sprinting towards the target at a speed of more than 100 kilometers.
Behind, the wooden boat also began to accelerate. Compared to warships with a deep draft, wooden warships were actually a bit faster.
Cannonballs fell around him one after another. Fortunately, the response was timely. It was difficult for the shells to hit the warships and warships maneuvering at high speed, and the shells fell into the air one after another. Occasional hits were also blocked by the defensive barrier.
But the sea water overturned by the shells made the nearby warships start to sway.
On the Longyu, Li Kepeng watched the shells behind him fall into the air, and smiled, "Isn't that amazing. The hit rate just now is less than...one-twentieth!"
The two sides began to sprint frantically. The relative speed exceeds 150 hundred kilometers—the Longyu has just accelerated, and has not yet reached the maximum speed.
The distance of five kilometers shortened rapidly.
On the Longyu, Li Kepeng sneered, "Everyone pay attention, the other party seems to be a warship, it is very likely to be the Revenge of the Kingdom of Canglan. The warships 1 to 6 are outflanking the south, and they must bite like wolves. Live each other.
Attack me fiercely, regardless of whether you can hit or not, the attack cannot be interrupted. It would be best if I can break the opponent's defensive barrier, but I can't also consume the opponent's energy as much as possible and restrain the opponent.
The warships No. 7 to No. 10 harassed the opponent in the north and restrained the opponent's military deployment.
Warships 11 and 12 went to the north to patrol and prevent ambushes. Make sure there is no ambush, and join the northern squad to encircle and annihilate the opponent. "
Warships No. 1 to No. 6 follow the original direction of advance, and make a slight adjustment just like rushing towards the target. The angle of adjustment from 7 to 12 is a bit large, and the speed is affected.
The Dragon Fish battleship responded in the center and rushed straight towards the Revenge battleship.
It's not that Li Kepeng is overestimated, but he believes that - the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road! The black iron warship of my kingdom of Langya also needs a crazy victory as a sacrificial vessel!
Moreover, there are warships on both sides to restrain them, and the strength that the opponent can exert is limited. Especially for battleships, the attack power of the side (salvo) is the strongest, but the attack power of the bow is somewhat weak.
Li Kepeng calculated frantically, "Keep the speed and rush over. Our boats are short and their boats are tall. As long as the distance is close, the artillery on their ship's side is just for display. They will show us the belly of the crocodile!"
We are going to tear each other's abdomen like a sharp knife! "
"Oh..." the crew shouted, the magic weapon, the crossbow, was ready, the artillery was loaded, and they were waiting for the final decisive battle.
The distance of five kilometers soon approached. In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides has approached 500 meters. Relying on the powerful facial features of the practitioners, they can see each other even in the dark sea before dawn and in the wind and rain.
On the Revenge, Ning Hu sneered, "Courage is commendable. Unfortunately, I have no brains! Depth charges are ready!"
A few seconds later, the depth charges were launched with a bang, and three 460mm depth charges landed near the Dragon Fish.
"Missed... Aim for me..." On the Dragon Fish, Li Kepeng smiled.
But the next moment he was stunned. I just felt a huge force suddenly coming from under my feet, and the Dragon Fish with a displacement of 3,000 tons unexpectedly 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, just aligned with the two sides of the bow. A 460mm main gun.
At this moment, the gunner of the main gun seized the opportunity and opened fire.
