Chapter 672 Burning Sea 1
"Damn, I'm crazy, human beings are already crazy!" In the distant sea, King Flood Dragon Silver Horn poked his head out, staring dumbfounded at the war ahead, and sweating profusely.
Human beings are the most terrifying life in this world!
It's only been a few years, it's just the time for the king to take a nap, the human war is already so crazy.
In the impression of King Silver Horn, human wars in the past were generally on land.
King Yinjiao also saw some battles in the ocean, but what was remarkable was that the few people who had transformed themselves into gods would break up after a short fight, and generally they would not distinguish between life and death.
Even if the human beings in the stage of transforming gods want to go to the sea to find something, such as special spiritual materials, usually three or five stages of transforming gods will join forces to explore the seabed.
In fact, there have been very few wars at sea in the past. Not to mention the current scene of hundreds of battles in the stage of transforming gods, it is still the kind that kills several in one face-to-face.
Previously, humans did not clean up the monsters and beasts in the Inner Sea overnight, but after tens of millions of years, they cleaned them up bit by bit; it can even be said that some powerful monsters retreated on their own initiative.
Times have really changed now!
King Silver Horn's eyes were filled with emotion. Although it is a flood dragon, it is a flood dragon with dreams—now King Yinjiao also knows the concept of starry sky.
"In the future, I will be a dragon who wants to enter the sea of stars! Not a dragon who can only play with mud in the sea!"
King Silver Horn watched the battle ahead with haughty eyes. But... Well, Jiaolong's eyes were quickly attracted by the crazy war ahead.
And next to King Yinjiao, there are the blue dragon Wangwang, and the sharks Yuanlin and Lanlin. In addition, there are some naval staff members of the Ocean Group. They came here temporarily on the Silver Horn King.
King Silver Horn is of course unwilling to become a mount, but...comrades are still fine.
The battle ahead is rapidly heating up. Lu Xuanyu of Xuanzhen Sect had firm eyes, and what he thought of at this moment was: the strategy provided by Dayang Group!
Judging from the total tonnage of warships and the total tonnage of warships, the naval power of the Anti-Aggression Alliance is always at a disadvantage.
Therefore, if you want to win, you must not fight a "tough battle" with the opponent, you must fight a "smart battle"! This 'coincidence' is more strategic.
Coincidentally, it doesn't mean no bloodshed, but a surprising victory. And if you want to win by surprise, you must sacrifice!
The strategy of the Dayang Group only gave a general direction; moreover, this general direction became blurred with the sudden attack of the strategic alliance. All Lu Xuanyu can do now is to get ready for battle.
The naval guns of both sides fired more than five times, and the sky was filled with the roar of naval guns and the scream of flying shells.
The battleship and the enchantment on the battleship trembled under the attack of the shells.
Lu Xuanyu stood in front of the captain's room, holding on to the railing with both hands, and he could see the other party's commander, Xiao Yunlong, without binoculars.
The eyes of the two faced each other from a distance through the space of ten kilometers, through the water waves blown up by the shells.
Suddenly, the corners of Lu Xuanyu's mouth turned up, and he gave the other party a smug, dangerous and weird sneer, and then resolutely issued a crazy order:
All skinned warships maintain their current combat status and always cover the opponent's fleet with naval guns. In the Weihai Fleet, 72 steel warships suddenly changed direction and launched an attack to the east, towards the Jinghai Fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze!
"Madman!" Seeing this, Xiao Yunlong, commander of the Zhenhai Fleet, immediately frowned.
For the sake of speed, the 72 steel warships of the Weihai Fleet did not fire. The barrier on the surface of the battleship is fully activated, and the formation effects of the battleship are also fully activated.
The 72 warships collectively maintained a speed of 120 kilometers per hour and launched a charge to 10 kilometers away!
In the rear, more than 2,000 skinned warships remained in their previous state, continuing to frantically provide artillery support and cover.
Xiao Yunlong looked at the 72 steel battleships that were moving forward, and his heart was slightly heavy. He couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking, was this a desperate struggle? Or is it a deliberate decision? Or is there any secret weapon?
Xiao Yunlong still wanted to observe carefully, he didn't want a row of shells to fall, at least 30 shells hit his flagship and its surroundings, the battleship was shaking violently due to the explosion, and the waves were raging, blocking his sight.
The crazy explosion made everyone on the battleship temporarily deaf. Even in the stage of transformation, they felt a buzzing, a little dizzy.
Amidst the explosion, the warship creaked.
This flagship is the Arctic Ocean-class battleship purchased by Dayang Group. It is the latest model with a displacement of 35,000 tons. This is currently the most powerful warship and the most powerful sea ship among all sea ships. Even the siege of the god transformation stage cannot be shaken.
But shells do!
When the shell explodes underwater, especially when it explodes close to the battleship, its destructive power is terrible. If multiple shells explode, it can even distort or even tear the battleship apart.
Xiao Yunlong has heard the explanation given by the engineers and technicians of Dayang Group. Although he still doesn't understand it very well, at least one thing is clear: when the shell explodes underwater, the pressure is concentrated, the shock wave is transmitted rapidly, and the destructive force at close range is the air. several times!
At this time, the flagship was obviously under fire, and Xiao Yunlong could roughly judge that three shells should have exploded against the underwater part of the battleship. Fortunately, they were scattered and not gathered together. In addition, several shells exploded within a range of 10 meters, and several directly hit the battleship's enchantment head-on.
In the end, the battleship enchantment was good, and it was reinforced later, and thanks to Dayang Group for its strong steel battleship technology. Flagship, almost intact.
The battleship continued to move forward, and soon rushed out of the explosive waves. Xiao Yunlong continued to observe the 72 steel battleships sprinting ahead, but he had a new idea in his heart: Could it be that they have some secret weapon?
No, wait, there are four types of attack methods on the warships sold by Dayang Group. Naval guns, ballistas, depth charges, sniper rifles and machine guns.
Long-range attacks, to be precise, attacks over 3 kilometers must be naval guns. The range of three kilometers to one kilometer is the attack range of naval guns, ballistas, and sniper rifles. Within one kilometer is the attack range of sniper rifles, machine guns, ballistas and depth charges, and naval guns are no longer applicable at this time.
‘Could it be that the other party is planning to launch an attack within a kilometer? ’ Xiao Yunlong’s face became serious.
The Weihai Fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect has only 72 steel warships in total. However, these steel warships are all the technology of Dayang Group!
On the contrary, although the Jinghai Fleet has 85 steel warships, only 21 warships were purchased from Dayang Group, and most of them are 'small ships' of 10,000 to 15,000 tons.
The rest of the steel warships were all produced by the country of Shaoze. Although the technology is good, to be honest, after in-depth understanding, Xiao Yunlong has to admit that compared with the steel warships of Dayang Group, the gap is still relatively large.
Whether it is the structure, craftsmanship, level of ship plates and profiles, and the arrangement of formations, there are gaps. Every single difference is a little bit, and the whole is completely behind by a large margin.
Especially in terms of the stability of the Iron Battleship during operation, it is obvious that the bumps can be felt. When the naval guns fired continuously towards one side, the battleship had to stop for about a minute after three consecutive attacks to stabilize the battleship; while the battleships of the Dayang Group could fire continuously.
Also, these self-produced steel warships have a maximum displacement of 18,000 tons.
However, in addition to the steel warships, the Jinghai Fleet also has 211 black iron warships. The technology of the black iron battleship is similar to that of the steel battleship, the difference is that they use black iron instead of spiritualized steel!
The black iron battleship is a product of immature technology, a product of compromise on cost and cost.
There is almost no difference between the black iron warship and the steel warship in terms of artillery attack and barrier defense. However, once the barrier is broken, the fragile side of the black iron battleship will be fully displayed.
The black iron battleship is too huge to be refined and strengthened like ordinary magic weapons, and can only rely on the performance defense of the black iron itself. Its defensive ability is only at the magic weapon level. It is stronger than wooden ships and skinned warships, but far inferior to steel warships.
Once in close combat, these dark iron warships will definitely not be able to withstand the direct fire of naval guns, the attack of ballista and the attack of depth charges!
So, if you fight melee, you may suffer a disadvantage! However, the opponent has a total of 72 steel warships. If they can sink or capture all of these steel warships, it will be equivalent to destroying the ocean power of Xuanzhen Sect.
And on my side, I have an absolute advantage in numbers!
Xiao Yunlong narrowed his eyes, and he quickly issued an order:
All naval guns concentrated fire to hinder the enemy's sprint; in addition, all black iron warships and steel warships moved closer to this side. Does the opponent want to fight hand to hand? We, accompany you!
72 warships versus 296 warships! Although there is a technical gap between the two sides, the difference in quantity is even greater.
A crazy confrontation at sea is about to begin.
When Xiao Yunlong gave the order, when the warships of the Jinghai Fleet began to mobilize; the 72 warships led by Lu Xuanyu were already close to the distance of one kilometer.
Under the cover of the warships in the rear, coupled with the curved maneuvering of the warships, and a strong defensive barrier, 67 of the 72 warships rushed forward intact; the remaining 5 were slightly damaged, but not serious.
On the contrary, during this period, because the warships of the Jinghai Fleet began to concentrate, they were hit a lot instead, and seven warships were seriously damaged; the damaged ones were mainly black iron warships.
At this moment, what Lu Xuanyu thought of was Dayang Group's naval strategy - Dayang Group has never used any warships or dark iron warships; Dayang Group has always used: steel warships and large-caliber artillery, and close combat is mainly ballista and depth charges.
Dayang Group's attacks have always been simple. But it is this simplicity that contains a huge lethality!
War requires effective lethality!
These flashed through Lu Xuanyu's mind, and he decided to take a gamble and imitate Dayang Group's attack.
"All the naval guns were fired flat, aiming at the waterline or the space at the bottom of the ship! Special, prohibited shells aimed at the power compartment, ammunition depot, or fuel tank."
"Don't be stingy with the depth charges, throw them all out for me. There is no need to wait any longer!"
"Calista, prepare the ballista, aim at the power room and ammunition depot for me."
"Pay attention to defense. This time, we seize the vertical position of the 'D' instead of the horizontal bar position. Use our bow to attack the enemy's formation and reduce the area under attack."
"Speed up, speed up, don't slow down! Hit it! Use our bow to hit the enemy's side!"
The bow of Dayang Group's battleship has a reinforced ram angle, which is a sharp blade made entirely of steel, shining coldly. At this time, the sharp blade was activated, exuding the luster of Lingbao.
The most intense hand-to-hand combat broke out. At a distance of one kilometer, the two sides could even see the flames of the muzzles, the bolts of the ballistas fired at each other, and the rows of depth charges being thrown.
At this time, no one has a better means of defense. I can only believe... I will win!
The warships on both sides began to collide at an absolute speed of more than two hundred kilometers. The shells, crossbow bolts, depth charges and flames between the two sides formed a skyline. The flames and water column of the explosion rushed up to a height of 100 meters. Every shell that explodes underwater can set off a fountain.
From time to time, warships were lifted into the air by exploding bombs, and then twisted in midair. There are also powerful steel battleships that were blown up and fell to the sea surface intact. Sometimes the bow of the ship could crash into the water surface, and then rush out of the sea in a crazy bump. In the frantic tumbling of the sea, the marines calmly and almost ruthlessly loaded their ammunition.
At this moment, everyone was under the roar of artillery fire, disregarding life and death. In such a fierce battle, life and death or fear can no longer be considered. Yes, only the front, only the shells and guns around.
As the distance got closer, the sniper rifles began to explode. The bullets of these sniper rifles can easily penetrate the barrier, and then pass through the observation hole of the naval gun, killing the marines inside. Or simply snipe the commander of the battleship, or even everyone on the deck.
In this fierce battle, even the Nascent Soul may die without knowing why. Flying swords of the Nascent Soul stage and below have lost their usefulness.
In the sky, the god transformation stages of both sides are still entangled, and from time to time, the god transformation stage screams and falls into the sea; but before they fall into the sea, a cold light flashes in the sky, tearing the body apart and completely cutting off their vitality. Want to take the opportunity to escape? Unless there is some special escape technique, there will be no life after ten deaths!
At this moment, only 66 of the 72 warships of the Xuanzhen Sect remained; while the 296 warships of the Shaoze Kingdom decreased by 57! As long as the battleship has shells exploding underwater, the black iron battleship will at least sink into a big hole.
The enchantment is attached to the structure of the battleship; when the structure of the battleship itself cannot withstand the impact, the effect of the enchantment will not be great. And once the structure of the battleship itself is deformed, the foundation of the formation will be destroyed, and the barrier... will naturally collapse.
The consequences are very miserable!
In such a battle, as long as a battleship loses its enchantment, it will be immediately sent with shells to penetrate the ammunition depot. Crazy cannons can completely empty the deck.
At close range, the fragility of the black iron battleship is fully exposed.
But crazier ones are to come.
Two fleets are about to collide!
