Chapter 671 Chapter 670 Prologue
When Zhang Hao is in pain and happiness, the outside world is only suffering.
Under the shadow of war, no one can sleep peacefully. Especially the warring parties, the strategic alliance and the anti-aggression alliance.
As the plan was exposed, strategic alliances began to be deployed at an accelerated pace. All preparatory actions are suddenly accelerated, even advanced.
Just that night, the fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze left the port without being fully prepared and disappeared.
The entire anti-aggression alliance was in a panic for a while. In particular, the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet, which is the closest, has also started patrolling out of the port.
The Xuanzhen Sect has just captured the port of the Land of Canglan, Qianlong Port, and at this time there are still many explosions and damages in Qianlong Port that have not been repaired. The condition of the port is very bad. In just three or two days, the Xuanzhen Sect couldn't restore the situation here. They couldn't even get the basic personnel together.
Wait until dawn... Mingjiao's Zhuzhou port has been attacked! The sneak attack was the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Happy Faction!
It was not the Xuanzhen Sect's current port, Qianlong Port, but the Ming Sect's northern port, Zhuzhou Port, that was attacked!
Zhuzhou Port is the largest port of Mingjiao and the second port in the north of Taotu Island, second only to Beihai Port of Xuanmingjiao.
However, Beihai Port has colonial attributes, and it is mostly commercial here, while Zhuzhou Port is completely Mingjiao, and it is completely built according to militarization standards.
It can be said that Zhuzhou Port is the number one military port in the north of Taotuzhou, second only to Jinsha Port in the west of the Tiandu faction in the entire Taotuzhou - this is the first time Dayang Group has traded with Taotuzhou where.
Even counting Fertility Island, West Kunlun, etc., Zhuzhou Port is also among the top ten ports.
However, at this dawn, the fleet of the Xiaoyao Sect suddenly appeared here and attacked Zhuzhou Port.
As for the fleet that everyone is concerned about, the fleet of the country of Shaoze did not appear until the outbreak of the war. In the vast sea, no one knows where this fleet has gone!
Zhang Haotian put on his clothes and got up before dawn, came to the office, looked at the map on the wall, and asked solemnly: "How about the loss of Zhuzhou Port?"
The new secretary made a serious report: "According to the telegram, the port has a defensive barrier and excellent security facilities, so the loss is not serious.
But because of the sudden attack, he hastily responded to the battle, but fell into a passive position.
The Xiaoyao faction's fleet, including steel battleships and black iron battleships, totaled 300 ships, bombarding the port for a full hour, the artillery fire lit up the sky, and the surrounding area of the port was brutally poisoned.
The port itself is fine because of the barrier, but the surrounding area is already in ruins. A large number of supporting facilities, even port factories, warehouses, workers, etc., have disappeared. "
Zhang Hao's face was heavy, and his eyes sparkled. Sometimes, you really can't blame your teammates for being too stupid, and sometimes the enemy is really too smart.
The Kingdom of Shaoze dispatched a fleet, which aroused the attention of all parties; but it did not expect that the fleet of the Xiaoyao faction was the main force, and directly attacked the port of Mingjiao.
Now it seems that the strategy provided by the Dayang Group to the Anti-Aggression Alliance has been aborted before it even started!
It is conceivable that if the anti-aggression coalition fails to respond appropriately, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zhang Hao thought for a moment, and felt that there was no rescue measure. But... After thinking about it, Zhang Hao sighed again. It is enough to help once, and it is not in line with Dayang Group's current status to make another move.
One shot is friendship. Shot twice... It's with ulterior motives! And it will also be vigilant on both sides!
Moreover, Zhang Hao believes that the anti-aggression alliance will not be too fragile. After all, there are seven holy places of Xuanzhen Sect, Xianyin Sect, Tiandu Sect, Ming Sect, Xuanming Sect, Da Luo Zong, and Jiuyoumen. Tens of thousands of years of accumulation have given them enough resilience!
"Look quietly. Let's see how other people fight!" Zhang Hao finally made a decision, and through a telegram, informed the spies of the Dayang Group to collect intelligence. At the same time, Zhang Hao also ordered that Dayang Group's "charity fleet" set off to rescue people at sea.
Saving people is on the way, mainly to allow the admirals of the Dayang Group to observe the war closely.
Soon, the "charity fleet" of the Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom set off with great fanfare, under the banner of a huge charity, full of rescue supplies, medical supplies, and a large number of medical personnel.
The fleet departed from Heilin Island at the beginning of sunrise and when the sky began to brighten. After leaving Heilin Island, the fleet was divided into two. One team went to Zhuzhou Port, and the other team went to Qianlong Port:
Just after dawn, the "Jinghai Fleet" of the Shaoze Kingdom finally appeared, and the "Weihai Fleet" of the Xuanzhen Sect was lucky to meet each other on the sea, and a decisive battle broke out between the two sides from the very beginning. The total number of fleets on both sides, including warships, exceeds 3,000, covering the sea mightily!
At this time, the Jinghai fleet of the country of Shaoze had 85 steel battleships, of which 21 were excellent warships purchased from Dayang Group, and the rest were built by themselves. In addition, there are more than 200 black iron warships and more than 1,500 skinned warships.
On the side of Xuanzhen Sect, there are only 72 large and small steel warships, and no black iron warships. Xuanzhen Sect has no direct industrial base here, and all steel warships are purchased from Dayang Group, or even purchased with loans.
In addition, there are more than 2,000 skinned warships of the Xuanzhen Sect. In fact, these so-called Pompey warships were all improved from merchant ships.
Compared with real steel warships, the maneuverability of skinned warships is greatly reduced. There are more of these warships, which are "adding chaos" to the enemy.
After several years of development, the skinned warship is actually quite impressive, with a keel made of low-grade black iron, and can withstand the recoil of the double 460mm cannon. Therefore, skinned warships have been built as mobile forts at sea.
The role of these warships is to provide fire support when the warships are fighting or attacking the port.
And at dawn today, Mingjiao's port enjoyed such an attack.
The Xiaoyao faction used more than 2,000 skinned warships to bombard Zhuzhou Port for more than an hour. Each warship crazily poured a full 300,000 large artillery shells at a rate of two shells per minute. Including battleships, the total number exceeds 350,000!
What is the concept of pouring 350,000 shells in one hour? Even if all calculations are based on 300mm shells, the charge of each shell is calculated on the basis of 200 kilograms, which is a full 70,000 tons of explosives!
These explosives are all golden explosives purchased from Dayang Group-these golden explosives are actually spiritualized TNT, which is five or six times more powerful than normal.
In other words, Zhuzhou Port is equivalent to being attacked by a medium-sized nuclear warhead!
Although the God Transformation Stage is very powerful, a large number of explosives are gathered, and the power far exceeds the sum of the attacks of the God Transformation Stage, not to mention... the God Transformation Stage is not idle!
Except for the port and warships protected by the barrier, the entire Zhuzhou Port has already been turned into ruins.
At this time, the Kingdom of Shaoze also wanted to challenge the Xuanzhen Sect. I didn't want to but was stopped by Xuanzhen Sect at sea!
"Damn it!" Xiao Yunlong, Commander of the Jinghai Fleet and the Kingdom of Shaoze, put down his binoculars, and patted the railing angrily, "It's a failure!"
But it said that Xiao Yunlong led the fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze and set off in the early hours of the morning. But at the beginning, they didn't attack immediately, but cooperated with the Xiaoyao faction to set up a bureau.
According to the analysis of Xiao Yunlong and the think tank of Shaoze Kingdom, when the news of Mingjiao's attack came out, Xuanzhenjiao would inevitably respond, such as retreating to defend, or going south for support.
At this time, the fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze only needs to activate the invisibility enchantment or phantom array, and stop quietly in the sea. The vast sea is so vast, as long as you make good use of the formation, and don't take the initiative to sail or cause voyages, the enemy will almost find a needle in a haystack if they want to find themselves.
After confirming the situation of the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet, the fleet of Shaoze Kingdom will suddenly appear here in Qianlonggang and blow up Qianlonggang.
The docking position of the Shaoze Kingdom fleet is only 800 kilometers southeast of Qianlong Port. There is a saying, the most dangerous place is the safest place!
In fact, things have also developed according to the plan of the Kingdom of Shaoze. After some hesitation, the fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect prepares to go south for support.
However, no one expected that the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet would suddenly turn back and head east just as soon as it left the port!
Xiao Yunlong didn't know what happened, but he knew...according to the forward direction of the Xuanzhen Sect fleet, everyone would collide!
"Is it a good thing Dayang Group did?" Xiao Yunlong naturally thought of Dayang Group. But soon he shook his head. It was only at sea that he made the decision to dock the fleet here, and at sea he did not allow telegrams and other information to be sent, which means that it is impossible for the outside world to know.
Then it can only be... an accident!
In short, after confirming the opponent's direction of advance, Xiao Yunlong made a decisive decision and canceled the stealth formation, and the fleet immediately accelerated.
As the commander of the navy, Xiao Yunlong knows very well that a considerable part of the strength of a warship comes from its movement and speed; if you think that relying on invisibility and waiting in situ, you are completely wrong. That would make him lose his speed advantage in a decisive battle, making the battleship a living target.
…………
When Xiao Yunlong made a decision, the scouts sent by Xuanzhen Sect and Weihai Fleet Commander Lu Xuanyu also spotted him. At this time, the distance between the two sides is less than a hundred miles.
After Lu Xuanyu confirmed the situation, he reported to the land on the one hand, and corrected the formation of the fleet on the other hand. Finally, he looked scared and ecstatic!
But when the fleet had just left the port, Lu Xuanyu suddenly had a whim—the port of the Kingdom of Shaoze should have weakened defense capabilities at this time, right? How about a sneak attack?
I didn't want to encounter the hidden fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze halfway!
On the vast sea, the two fleets happened to meet. This is really a divine will.
It's just that Lu Xuanyu looked up at the eastern sky. At this time, the sun had already risen above the sea level, emitting thousands of golden lights; while the Weihai fleet was facing the sun—on the contrary, the Shaoze Kingdom's fleet was facing away from the sun.
Lu Xuanyu made a decisive decision: You can't attack directly, otherwise the hit rate of the two sides will be several times different!
Lu Xuanyu immediately decided to go south, preparing to seize the position in the south.
In the sky, the masters of the two sides' transformation into gods have already begun to fight.
This time, it was not a tentative confrontation, but a real battle of extinction. The extreme war broke out as soon as the two sides came into contact. The supernatural powers of both sides shot directly, and in the blink of an eye, blood rained from the sky.
The transformation stage is powerful, but the supernatural attack is even more powerful!
Different from the supernatural power masters of the Dayang Group, the supernatural power masters of the Dayang Group possess a 'set' of supernatural powers. Including attack, defense, movement, at least three!
But at the moment, the supernatural powers of both sides mainly focus on attack! Everyone lacks means of defense and evasion (movement).
This leads to a result: if I attack, you can't stand it; if you attack, I can't stand it either!
The end result is that when everyone met each other, they stabbed three or five of each other to death and seriously injured more than a dozen!
Then, everyone was terrified to see the problem; but, everyone is a master with rich combat experience, so it is obvious that they cannot retreat at this moment, otherwise they will die faster. The only thing that can be done is - pay more attention.
Soon, the supernatural masters of Xuanzhen Sect began to gain the upper hand. Xuanzhen Sect follows the orthodox, that is, the most complete route of the stage of transformation into gods and supernatural powers. Its background, combat endurance, etc., far exceed those of the Kingdom of Shaoze.
The supernatural power masters of the kingdom of Shaoze are all the foundations of the golden body realm, and then use the same kind of supernatural powers such as golden elixir. Its foundation is far inferior to the supernatural powers that cannot be cultivated with the spirit of immortality.
The supernatural masters of the Xuanzhen sect gradually gained the upper hand, but a large number of god-transformation stage (golden body stage) from the kingdom of Shaoze flocked in, ready to use numbers to restore the disadvantage.
During the battle, the fleets of both sides chased across the sea. Xiao Yunlong was not an idiot either, of course he couldn't allow the opponent to easily seize a favorable position, so he ordered the fleet to sail southwest and prepare for an interception.
About 22 minutes later, that is, at 6:30 in the morning, the distance between the forwards of the two fleets was less than 10 kilometers.
At this time, the overall direction of the two fleets is heading south. The Jinghai Fleet of Shaoze Kingdom is in the east, and the Weihai Fleet of Xuanzhen Sect is in the west—the Weihai Fleet failed to grab a strong position after all.
Lu Xuanyu looked at the sea level, frowning deeply, his condition was really bad. At this time, the sun had just jumped out of the sea level, and the sunlight against the sea just happened to be the best cover for the enemy fleet!
But at this time, the two sides are already so close, they can only bite the bullet and fight!
Lu Xuanyu made a decisive decision: "Get ready, full right rudder!"
All warships and warships began to turn sharply, and a crazy wave was set off on the sea. The 30,000-ton and Arctic Ocean-class warships that took the lead set off waves of more than 70 meters.
The battleship quickly turned sideways, the ship's side was aimed at the enemy, and the entire fleet began to sail south.
"Order No. 3, fire!" Lu Xuanyu was the first to issue the order to attack.
Order No. 3, all naval guns are pointed at the opponent's skinned warship!
Time is running out in the battle, and some fixed orders have been solidified into serial numbers in advance, which will greatly increase command efficiency.
Under the unified command of the telegram, more than two thousand warships opened fire at the same time. The flames of the gun barrel began to spew out, and the sea began to burn with flames of war.
More than 4,000 shells frantically crossed a distance of more than 10 kilometers and rushed to the target.
Nowadays, artillery technology has made great progress, but the effective attack distance of warships is still 10 to 15 kilometers. No matter how far away, the shells can fly, but the accuracy is already terrible.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Yunlong also issued an attack order!
A crazy naval battle officially kicked off.
(Sorry, Calvin. By the way, I checked a little naval warfare information.)
