Chapter 491 The Second Sea Showdown

Is madness also a strategy?

Hong Yazi was stunned by Gu Xingdong's words. After thinking for a long time, he still had to nod. Although it feels a little inappropriate, but for the time being, it seems to be true!

The current war seems to be the best interpretation of this statement.

In fact, in the next few days of the war, Gu Xingdong carried out this thought to the end. In three days, Gu Xingdong fired 10 million shells crazily! Along the way, the road was completely opened with shells.

But the results were insane. The Xiaoyao faction's legion is like an egg under a hammer, retreating and retreating, constantly collapsing.

In three days, the Xiaoyao faction lost almost all of the Kingdom of Southern Tang, leaving only the last few checkpoints and the border line between the East and the Kingdom of Lingyun—the Kingdom of Lingyun, the birthplace of Feng Zhiling, who was once named Lingfeng country.

Not only that, the morale of the Xiaoyao faction has dropped to the limit! Being passively beaten all the time, that kind of feeling must be uncomfortable. Not to mention the heavy casualties.

Under the crazy attack of artillery fire, only the Nascent Soul stage is eligible to save his life, but it is just 'qualified' and does not mean absolute. You know, in the Qixia Kingdom's attack, besides artillery, there are also ballistas.

Ballista is specially aimed at the masters of Huashen stage and Nascent Soul stage.

There are also sniper rifles. At close range, sniper rifles are enough to seriously injure the Nascent Soul Stage, making them lose or greatly reduce their combat effectiveness.

In the past three days, on the battlefield of the Southern Tang Dynasty, more than half of the troops of the Xiaoyao Sect were killed or injured, and their morale was already on the verge of collapse. The continuous retreat led to the loss of a large amount of luggage, weapons, etc., which were given to the Xuanzhen Sect.

And within these three days, the Northern Tang Kingdom regained its own coastline.

Under the cover of artillery, everyone's casualties were almost negligible. And the morale is high, and a lot of spoils have been obtained, which leads to an even higher morale.

Under the ebb and flow, the Xiaoyao faction's legion on the southern front is already in jeopardy, and a sense of uneasiness begins to spread within the army.

The entire South of the Happy Faction is facing the problem of a complete collapse of the front line.

Of course, this information was also obtained by Xuanzhen Sect.

"This is the effect of 10 million shells!" Gu Xingdong said to Hong Yazi quite proudly on Xuanzhenjiao's side, "If we followed the previous confrontation situation, our cost would not be less than this, and there would be no casualties. Even more tragic.

On the contrary, it was not as good as this, and got a lot of baggage, spoils of war, etc. Destroyed the morale of the enemy! "

Hong Yazi continued to be stunned. This world seems to be getting more and more strange!

However, it is not only the land that is crazy, but also the sea.

The Atlantic Fleet of Dayang Group and the Pearl Fleet of Qixia Kingdom have been searching at sea for several days. However, the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Peripatetic Faction seems to have disappeared!

In the vast sea, it is really difficult to find a fleet that deliberately avoids them. Not to mention that practitioners still have the means of cheating - hidden formation enchantment and so on.

On the vast sea, if you really want to use the hidden formation enchantment, as long as the battleship stops still and does not produce water patterns, it can be easily hidden ten kilometers away.

After searching for several days, they couldn't find it, and the fuel was consumed by more than half. In addition, it was in the hinterland of the Xiaoyaopai sea area at this time, so Zhao Yuhang proposed to return to the voyage.

"Agreed to return!" Shu Bennan nodded. It has been almost ten days since they came out, and the soldiers also need to rest.

The two fleets continued to maintain a state of tandem and began to sail west.

But after sailing for about half a day, the sailors on the observation deck suddenly shouted, "Suspicious things are found in the distance, and they seem to be traces of formations!"

Zhao Yuhang's eyes became vigilant in an instant, he quickly flew up to the observation tower, and his expression changed after only one glance: "Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle! The fleet immediately turned around and headed south to seize the "D" position!

Use the auxiliary array to assist the warship to turn, and do not reduce the speed! "

The steering auxiliary formation is something that the fleet has not shown before. At the critical moment, it is enough to change the situation of the battle.

For example right now.

About ten kilometers ahead, there appeared an abnormal wave shadow, which looked a little undulating. This kind of fluctuation is not very obvious, but at this time the fleet is sailing to the west, and the angle of the sun's rays in the sky is just right, so it can be seen.

However, it is still not obvious, and it will be ignored if you don't pay attention. After all, this is a formation arranged by the Holy Land, how could it be so easy to find out. So the discovery this time also benefited from the sailor's earnestness, keen eyesight, responsibility, and of course luck—if it wasn't for the right angle of the sun in the sky, it would be really difficult to find.

And if it is discovered too late, the strong inertia of the battleship is enough to plunge into the encirclement. The consequences could be disastrous.

Fortunately, at this moment, God seems to be on the side of Qixia Kingdom. The wonderful angle of the sun exposed the traces of the formation.

The fleet began to turn around, turning almost at a right angle of ninety degrees with the help of the formation. After discovering the situation in front, they also responded, the invisibility formation barrier disappeared immediately, and a huge fleet appeared!

Seeing this fleet, Zhao Yuhang's pupils contracted - there were 6 steel warships, including two of the Zhenyuan class! In addition, there are a full 20 black iron warships.

In the back, there are more than 500 skinned warships.

All these ships have already set up a "concave" battle formation, obviously waiting for the Qixia Kingdom and the Dayang Group's fleet to take the bait. The inner encirclement of this battle formation is thirty kilometers wide, enough to swallow the battleships of Qixia Kingdom and Dayang Group in one go.

Seeing the situation ahead, Zhao Yuhang was afraid for a while. If the sailor hadn't discovered it, the fleet might have already entered the encirclement and was under siege from all directions.

But now, the fleet was lucky enough to discover it in advance, and turned around ten kilometers outside the opponent's ambush circle.

"Falling short of success!" On the Xiaoyao faction and the Hailong fleet, the fleet commander 'Ting Songzi' roared angrily.

As a rare talent in the Xiaoyao faction who is proficient in military affairs, Ting Songzi served as the commander of the 'new' Sea Dragon Fleet, and promoted Yan Zhen, the former governor of Sishui Port in the Kingdom of Langya, as the deputy commander, to jointly command this unprecedented fleet—— At least it is unprecedented for the Peripatetic School.

And for today, Ting Songzi also prepared for a long time and planned too much.

He knew that the information could not be completely kept secret, so he released part of the information - 4 steel warships. In fact, after the surprise attack on Xuanzhen Sect's Weihai Fleet, the actual salvage and dismantling were beyond imagination.

Although Lu Xuanyu, the commander-in-chief of the Weihai Fleet, also ordered the battleship to be bombed and sunk, but the quality of the steel battleship...is really good. Most of the structure is intact. It's just that there are some problems with power, but many important components have also been disassembled.

Later, Song Zi ordered to continue bombing the remnants of the Weihai Fleet, just to cover up what he had gained.

During this period of time, the Xiaoyao faction worked together, and Wang Ruiyang really had some skills, and even repaired four Iron Duke-class steel battleships and two Zhenyuan-class steel battleships.

The number of black iron battleships in the Xiaoyao faction's Sea Dragon Fleet has also increased to 20.

In the end, more than 500 skinned warships were added. After the last battle, Ting Songzi discovered that the skinned warship is actually useful, for example, it can harass the enemy outside.

These skinned warships can use small-caliber naval guns, and the range can reach more than ten kilometers. When there are enough small-caliber attacks, it can still cause serious damage to the target.

However, all plans seem to have come to nothing today. Well, at least half of it fell through.

After seeing the opponent turning south, Ting Songzi made a decisive decision: attack! Don't give the enemy a chance to react.

But when the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Xiaoyao faction was about to attack, they were shocked to find that the opponent had completed a U-turn in less than a minute!

"Sure enough, the Dayang Group has kept one hand! It is still a very important one!" Yan Zhen who was next to him said a little angrily.

"Normal!" Listening to Songzi's face was flat, it would be strange if Dayang Group didn't keep a hand. But the current situation is really not optimistic. Originally wanted to ambush the opponent, and didn't want to expose it in advance, but the fleet of Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom grabbed the "D" position again. This is not good news for the Sea Dragon fleet!

However, the Sea Dragon Fleet also has an advantage, that is, it is ready. The moment the enchantment was revoked, the naval guns started firing salvos—it would not work without revoking the enchantment, the invisibility enchantment would deflect the light and affect the aiming.

But the fleets of Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom have richer combat experience. Although it was sudden, the response was very quick: the defensive barrier rose instantly, and the naval gun fired immediately without aiming.

The second confrontation at sea begins again.
