Chapter 675 Issue Six Chapter Four Burning 4: Speed of Life and Death
A little showdown broke out.
The Weihai Fleet of Xuanzhen Sect did not immediately turn around and head south, but launched a frenzied attack first. Before the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Free and Unfettered Faction arrives, the Jinghai Fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze should be weakened as much as possible.
At the same time, Lu Xuanyu also commanded the warships to carry out a partial cover attack on the enemy ships - catch a few enemy ships and give me a desperate attack, and don't change the target if they don't sink!
But the morale of the Jinghai Fleet was high at this time, and the warships moved southeast while fighting back. The Jinghai Fleet did not simply retreat, but retreated while attacking; moreover, this battle was almost a decisive battle.
Lu Xuanyu didn't allow the opponent to retreat safely, and Xiao Yunlong obviously knew that war is not a game, and it doesn't mean that you can quit if you want to. It can even be said that the more difficult it is to quit in the end!
The naval guns roared, and the flames ignited the sea surface; the shells rained down, and the entire sea surface was blown to pieces.
Xuanzhenjiao's warships confronted the warships head-on. From time to time, warships can be seen being blown into pieces all over the sky, and a large number of wood chips are covered with the sea.
But in the same way, in the face of the saturated attack of warships, the warships of the Kingdom of Shaoze sank one after another.
The two sides are engaged in a death race.
Lu Xuanyu led the main fleet, relying on Dayang Group's excellent steel warship technology, biting the Jinghai Fleet desperately, and did not relax at all.
Marines mechanically reloaded, waited for orders, fired, cleared the barrel with spells, and reloaded.
In this efficient state, the battleship can fire a salvo in almost 20 seconds. However, considering the actual situation, considering the speed and stability of the battleship, etc., it takes almost a minute to fire a salvo. Within a minute, there would be a harassing attack from some small-caliber artillery.
The two fleets advanced side by side as a whole, almost fighting close to each other, and their respective warships and warships became fewer and fewer.
Ten minutes later, the Xuanzhen Sect's Weihai Fleet had 42 battleships and 570 warships left; while the Shaoze Kingdom's Jinghai Fleet had 120 warships left.
In another ten minutes, the Weihai Fleet had 38 warships and 418 warships left; while the Jinghai Fleet had 97 warships left.
In another ten minutes, the number of warships in the Weihai Fleet dropped to 27, and the number of warships dropped to 303; the Jinghai Fleet dropped to 72. At this time, the distance between the two fleets was less than 800 meters! The guns were completely leveled.
This is already a bayonet fight!
The gunners on both sides could even see each other's eyes, and they could see the gleaming shells in the flattened naval guns.
Ballistas, depth charges and other means of attack were all used. Both sides have reached the wildest extremes.
The sniper rifles aimed at each other, and the bullets with the ability to break the prohibition made their respective defensive barriers ripple like water ripples. The only thing that can stop these bullets is a half-meter-thick steel baffle.
Fortunately, there are not many such bullets with the ability to break the ban, and Dayang Group's prices are terribly expensive. The price of a bullet is almost the price of a high-end magic weapon. It is a hundred times more expensive than 460mm shells, and twice as expensive as shells with the ability to break the ban!
In the sky, the battle in the stage of transforming gods was finally decided at this time. At the cost of the death of 57 people and the serious injury of more than 200 people in the Xuanzhen sect's Huashen period, 66 people of the Shaoze Kingdom's Huashen period were killed and more than 300 people were seriously injured.
In the end, there were more than one hundred and eighty people in the Xuanzhen Sect, half of whom were slightly injured, and less than one hundred and sixty people were left in the Shaoze Kingdom, and nearly a hundred of them were slightly injured.
Those of the Kingdom of Shaoze had to retreat.
However, the kingdom of Shaoze retreated during the stage of transforming gods, and the Xuanzhen sect could not catch up. Everyone was exhausted, and besides, they had to take care of the injured on their own side. The most important thing is that there are a large number of masters in the stage of transforming gods in the distance, and the masters of Xuanzhen sect must hurry up and rest!
Lu Xuanyu wants to use naval guns to support the battle of the God Transformation Stage, but now when the God Transformation Stage fights, they are far away from the battleship. I have suffered a lot, and I have already formed experience.
In the fifth 10 minutes of the decisive battle, that is, around 8:20 in the morning, the Xiaoyao faction and the Sea Dragon Fleet have already appeared on the southeast sea!
"Enter the battleship at the stage of transforming gods!" Lu Xuanyu roared. The God Transformation stage quickly entered the battleship, and the fleet quickly adjusted.
The warships that had been damaged immediately turned around and sailed northwest, preparing to return to the port; thus, there were only 22 steel warships left in the Weihai fleet.
When we set off early in the morning, there were 72 steel battleships, but now there are only 22 steel battleships left! Even if all calculations are based on the price of a 10,000-ton warship and 60 million high-grade spirit stones, the wealth of 3 billion high-grade spirit stones will be lost. If you count the later war pensions, various ammunition, and warships, etc., these losses are well over 4 billion!
The actual loss will only be higher!
The warships that were damaged and severely damaged in combat effectiveness left, but all the warships did not leave!
Warships, from the moment they go to sea to fight, are doomed to the fate of consumables! It's good to be able to go back, but if you can't go back...you can't go back.
At this time, a large number of Nascent Soul Stages began to work hard, using spells to push the warships forward, came to the side of the battleships, and began to replenish ammunition and spirit stones for the battleships. The sailors on the warships were also added to the battleships—many battleship superstructures suffered crazy attacks, and the sailors, sailors, etc. lost a lot.
It took about ten minutes for the battleship to resupply. Even the masters of the transformation stage acted as transport workers.
At this time, the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Xiaoyao faction was already close to 20 kilometers away, and was about to enter the battle zone.
The Jinghai Fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze, with 65 warships left, was fleeing forward rapidly. These 65 warships hoisted the national flag of Shaoze. Xiao Yunlong stood on the bow, directing the battle (fleeing) while waving to the front.
In front, the commander of the Sea Dragon Fleet, Ting Songzi, stood coolly on the bow of the ship, with the deputy commander Yan Zhen beside him.
Yan Zhen was once the governor of Langya Kingdom and Sishui Port. The name of the Sea Dragon Fleet also started from Langya Kingdom, and was later taken over by Xiaoyao faction and continued to develop.
In the Hailong Fleet, the real commander-in-chief is actually Yan Zhen—not everyone knows naval warfare, especially in this era of steel warships; listening to Songzi, it is more like supervising the army, mainly in the commander-in-chief period.
At this time, after listening to Song Zi, he explained to Yan Zhen, and rushed out with the spirit transformation stage. But these god-forming stagers didn't rush forward all at once, but just vacated to take precautions-it would be a bit dangerous to wait until the battle started to take off.
Listening to the pine nuts spinning in the sky, looking at the more than 500 spirit transformation stages on my side, I immediately decided to charge the Weihai fleet ahead,
The more than 500 deity transformation stages quickly spanned a distance of 20 kilometers. At a distance of three kilometers from the battleship, they attacked with magic weapons and talismans, and some even mastered supernatural powers, and they attacked the battleship in waves.
It's just that after crossing three kilometers, the power of magic weapons, talismans, supernatural powers, etc. has been greatly reduced. After three kilometers, it was difficult for these attacks to break through the solid defense of the battleship. It's just that the warship still couldn't stop such an attack.
On the battleship of the Weihai Fleet, Lu Xuanyu calmly looked at the stage of transformation three kilometers ahead, with a sneer and sarcasm on the corner of his mouth—coward, if you have the ability to get closer, the effective attack distance of the ballista is three kilometers!
The defensive barrier on the battleship was strengthened to the maximum, and the naval guns slowly raised their heads. The resupplied battleship is ready to go to sea again.
The next moment, artillery fire gushed out, and shells rained down on the fleeing Jinghai Fleet ahead.
"You guys, are you out of shells?" Lu Xuanyu sneered as he looked at the Jinghai Fleet fleeing and evading in embarrassment. When replenishing on his own side, the opponent's attacks are pitiful. It is certain that the opponent's ammunition should be very low, so I don't know whether it is completely gone or left a hand.
However, in the current situation, it is unlikely to keep a hand.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether you keep a hand or not, it's right to send you to the sea!" Lu Xuanyu ignored the attack of the sky's transformation stage, and the attack from three kilometers away could not break through the defense of the battleship. As for the remaining warships, let's start retreating. In the next battle, the battleship could no longer help.
Battleships and damaged battleships began to retreat. But the Xiaoyao faction didn't let it go, and still sent out more than two hundred transformation gods to pursue.
An enchantment rose on the surface of the battleship, and some of the gods stood in the enchantment of the battleship, attacking outwards, fighting for a way out for the warship.
Lu Xuanyu glanced at the situation on the battleship's side, and stopped paying attention—he couldn't be distracted anymore. The most urgent task is to completely destroy the Jinghai Fleet of the Kingdom of Shaoze.
If you miss this opportunity, you don't know if there will be a next time. Especially this time, both sides have suffered heavy losses, and I am afraid that they will not be able to organize the next naval battle.
During the battle, the Xiaoyao faction's reinforcements, the Sea Dragon Fleet, finally entered a distance of 13 kilometers! This distance is the limit of the precise distance of Dayang Group's steel warships.
The sea dragon fleet and all the gun barrels burst into flames. Regardless of whether the warships of the Dayang Group or not, they all started to attack.
The maximum attack distance of naval guns has actually exceeded 20 kilometers. The maximum distance of the main naval guns on Dayang Group's battleships even exceeds 40 kilometers. 13 kilometers.
In fact, with the development of the navy, as everyone became more familiar with and mastered the technology of steel warships, the hit rate of warships was... declining!
Because everyone will dodge and maneuver!
Lu Xuanyu commanded the warship to make a snake-like maneuver and continue to sprint forward.
Ahead, the Sea Dragon Fleet is in high spirits, with three hundred warships and two thousand warships covering the sea in a mighty manner, like a wall of steel rushing toward us.
At this time, Lu Xuanyu's eyes were particularly bright and sharp, and strategies flew through his mind, and finally settled on a few of them:
If the battleship turns around immediately now, it will form a rout and chasing and fleeing battle. If you turn around, you will inevitably lose speed. The battleship is heavy. Even if you use a large arc to turn around, you will still lose speed, space and distance. This is very dangerous. !
If he was bitten because of this, he would really die without a place to bury him!
And once he shifted, none of the warships in the rear that were trying to escape from the battlefield would be able to escape.
The most important thing is that I want to be the bait. If I turn around and then go south, it will be too obvious. Never take your enemies for fools.
On the contrary, if you sprint forward...and then head south at a faster speed, the enemy will be fooled instead.
But just rushing over like this, with 22 warships on my side, more than 300 warships and more than 2,000 warships charged head-on... It seems that they will die very heroically.
However, it is not without chance;
That's it, adventure!
Lu Xuanyu's eyes flickered, and he immediately ordered: "The battleship is heading due south and passing by the opponent's left flank."
The 22 warships immediately adjusted their direction—previously, they were heading southeast and southerly, about 25° south by east; at this time, they adjusted their direction slightly and sailed due south.
The Weihai Fleet gradually distanced itself from the Jinghai Fleet of Shaoze, but the distance between the two was still within the attack range, and the Weihai warship still did not give up its attack. The Jinghai Fleet at this time is a toothless tiger, and must take the opportunity to kill some warships!
Not only that, but as the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Free and Unfettered Fleet approached, the Jinghai Fleet of the Shaoze Kingdom was also asked to slow down and turn around on the spot—you cannot attack our formation. This gave Lu Xuanyu and the Weihai Fleet another chance.
It's just that the fleet of the Xiaoyao faction also started to attack at this time, and Lu Xuanyu had to command the fleet to do a snake-like maneuver, and he himself lost a lot of hits.
About ten minutes later, the Jinghai Fleet of the Shaoze Kingdom finally stopped and turned around on the spot; and their number of warships had dropped below 50, leaving only 45 warships. The situation is mostly dire.
At this time, the Weihai Fleet also lost one warship again, and the remaining 21 warships passed by the left wing of the Happy Dragon Fleet. The distance between the two fleets has widened from the nearest 8 kilometers to about 10 kilometers, and the distance is getting farther and farther.
The 21 warships of the Weihai Fleet are lined up, and each warship is more than 300 meters apart. However, the warships are not in a straight line, but arranged in a curved line, and their forward direction is also in a snake-like maneuver.
This arrangement makes it more difficult for the opponent to aim and focus fire.
Of course, such an arrangement will also reduce the accuracy of your attack.
At this time, the only ones facing the Weihai Fleet were the three battleships and warships on the left wing of the Hailong Fleet, and there were no more than thirty warships and a hundred warships in total.
The frenzied attacks of the fleets on both sides, especially the Free and Unfettered faction, no longer care about salvos, and they are completely attacking when they are saturated. The same is true for the Weihai Fleet. The cannon barrels on both sides are a little red hot!
Lu Xuanyu began to calculate the time when the two fleets completely staggered:
The 21 warships of the Weihai Fleet have a distance of 10 kilometers before and after. The length of the warships is about 200 meters. Now the distance between the warships is about 300 meters. The 21 warships dragging out 10 kilometers is already very compact.
The formation of the sea dragon fleet on the opposite side is relatively spacious. The distance between the front and back of the warships is 500-600 meters; the distance between the warships is 300 meters. The distance between the front and back of the fleet is 30 kilometers.
The two fleets want to be completely staggered, and they want to take about twenty minutes.
It's twenty minutes of life and death!
Really, the speed of life and death!
