Chapter 608 Pretending to Infiltrate
"All the artillery concentrated their firepower and blasted out a channel among the enemy ships!" Facing the frenzied counterattack of the enemy ships, Zheng He remained calm and quickly thought of a solution.
With an order, the artillery fires.
One hundred and fifty artillery salvos, what kind of scene will it be? Zheng He gave the answer.
I saw the dense group of enemy ships, under the bombardment of artillery, as if being cut in half by a giant sword held by a god. In the middle of the dense fleet group, an empty channel more than 90 meters wide was suddenly cleared.
Countless warship wrecks are floating on the sea surface. Thousands of adventure players were hit by shell fragments, seriously injured, fell into the sea, and wailed endlessly.
People who have not experienced such scenes will not feel this kind of shock.
The rain of arrows from the enemy ships froze.
Zheng He was not shocked at all, and continued to command, "The fleet quickly passed through the middle in a battle formation, and the rockets scattered to both sides, blasting the fleet on both wings."
It is very difficult for a battleship to fire artillery while it is moving fast, especially for such a heavy and backward artillery, its huge recoil is very likely to cause the battleship to overturn directly. Therefore, Zheng He had no choice but to use light rockets to fight back and disturb the enemy's formation.
"promise!"
"Navy soldiers, be ready to take over the battle at any time." Zheng He continued to order.
"Follow the command!"
The Shanhai City fleet changed its formation, accelerated its sailing speed, and rushed forward.
Because the three major fleets are fighting together, there is still a little incoordination between the command and dispatch of the fleets. Fortunately, the formation change is finally completed amidst stumbling.
The battleship group in Annan District has suffered heavy damage, but it has not completely lost its combat effectiveness. After all, the huge base of battleships is there, so it cannot be easily defeated.
The warships on the two wings quickly approached the center, trying to pinch the Shanhai City fleet. The adventure players on the ship were already red-eyed, screaming to avenge their brothers who died in battle.
Of course, they must first escape the rocket attack.
The current rocket, and the rocket that was heavily oiled before, are two different concepts. The most representative one is naturally the multi-stage rocket [Fire Dragon Out of Water].
The range of 1.5 kilometers is enough to completely cover the two wings of the enemy fleet.
The enemy ships concentrated by the rockets suddenly burst into flames, and the dense crew made the battleship panic. Then the panic was transmitted to the surrounding battleships.
Therefore, the charge of the enemy fleet can be described as stumbling.
In this way, there were still a large number of small warships, like ants, biting the Shanhai City battleship. At this time, it's time for the sailors to make their debut.
For the first time, the two sides launched a string battle. This made the Annan players finally let out a breath of anger, all with red eyes, and fought with the soldiers of the Nanyang Navy.
"The gunfire team is ready!" Zheng He ordered again.
Melee combat is not Zheng He's style.
The firearms of the Ming Dynasty are what Zheng He is best at. Just like this, the Combat Readiness Department specially equipped the three major fleets with various types of firearms in accordance with Zheng He's requirements.
Originally, these firearms were all included in the elimination sequence by Ouyang Shuo.
Since it was Zheng He's request, Ouyang Shuo naturally had no reason to stop it. With Shanhai City's current level of steelmaking, it is not difficult to speed up the production of a batch of firearms.
Unexpectedly, this batch of firearms could exert such power.
With the support of the fire gun team, the navy soldiers quickly stabilized their positions. The enemy's casualties are getting bigger and bigger. When the Shanhai City fleet passed through the middle channel, what was left behind was a sea of blood.
After the breakthrough, Zheng He didn't give up, "Stop advancing and reorganize the battle formation!"
"promise!"
The combined fleet slowly stopped, and the guns turned again.
"fire!"
Without Zheng He's order, the three major formations are already clear.
The enemy fleet that was thrown to the rear has not yet recovered from the heavy damage, and has ushered in a new round of death.
Ouyang Shuo never expected that the seemingly difficult battle would be so easy and enjoyable under Zheng He's command and dispatch. The enemy fleet is completely passive, only being beaten.
The god-level naval general is really extraordinary.
From this point of view, Gaia's ability to command Zheng He's military must have been strengthened. Famous naval generals in China are really scarce. If we don't strengthen them, we're afraid they won't be able to take them out.
From this point of view, the generals in other districts should also have similar enhancements. Only in this way can the relative balance that Gaia has always upheld be achieved.
The next battle is an unequal fight.
The menacing enemy fleet, after being baptized by artillery fire several times, finally came to their senses. Facing the harsh punishment of death, they had no choice but to give up and flee in all directions.
In this battle alone, Ouyang Shuo once again gained more than 20,000 merit points.
...
Taking advantage of the gap between cleaning up the battlefield, the red horse boats that were thrown out finally brought the latest frontline military situation. Ouyang Shuo frowned when he learned that Annan's regular naval fleet had already set out to sea.
In the previous few battles, the Shanhai City fleet seemed to have won beautifully, but in fact it was not without battle damage. Only one-third of the war supplies were consumed.
If the fight continues like this, Ouyang Shuo is not sure whether he can reach the Unnamed Island smoothly. In the final analysis, this trip to the national war is only incidental, and finding the treasure is fundamental.
"General, we have to change our strategy." Ouyang Shuo said.
"What does Junhou mean?" Zheng He was also a little worried.
Ouyang Shuo spat out the eight-character strategy: "Build the plank road brightly, and keep the warehouse in the dark."
"The troops are divided into two groups?!" Zheng He understood immediately.
"That's right." Ouyang Shuo nodded with a smile, "The general will lead the main fleet to circle around the sea with the opponent, attracting the opponent's full attention. This Marquis will personally lead an elite team and sneak to the Unnamed Island."
"Your Majesty Shengming."
"It's just one thing. It's not a simple matter for a general to pin down an enemy ship of a country." Ouyang Shuo expressed his worries.
"Please don't worry, Junhou, the general will have his own calculations." Zheng He was confident.
"So, please, General!"
Ouyang Shuo clasped his fists, agreed with Zheng He on the pick-up location, and prepared to disembark with his personal guards.
Since traveling secretly, naturally one cannot take the Longshou, even if it is another building ship. It's too eye-catching, and Annan players will recognize it immediately.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo was going to set sail on a warship.
At this moment, Ouyang Shuo turned his head, glanced at the opposite sea area, and suddenly had an idea.
On the surface of the sea, the enemy warships have already fled, and the rest are some wrecks. In addition, there are some relatively intact warships, lonely and abandoned on the sea.
"Come here!" Ouyang Shuo said.
"exist!"
"Arrange people, collect ten enemy ships, load up the supplies, and use them as our warships."
"promise!"
Taking the Annan battleship is not the best camouflage. Players in the Annan District never imagined that there would be an "accomplice" sneaking into their hinterland.
An hour later, everything was ready.
Without any fuss, Ouyang Shuo directly ordered to set sail. In addition to the personal guards, Zheng He arranged for the most elite captains, sailors and sailors.
A small fleet sails quietly into unknown seas.
Zheng He led the joint fleet and took the initiative to head towards the fleet of the Annan Allied Forces. His task is to keep the entire Annan's eyes firmly locked on this fleet.
The lively sea gradually returned to calm.
*************
Just when Ouyang Shuo went to sea, a huge conspiracy was brewing.
After the Lantern Festival, thousands of players deposit money at the Chang'an Branch of Universal Bank every day. This group of players is not some retail investors, but a unified action.
They were mixed in the mighty money saving team, but they did not attract the attention of the bank.
It was like this for three days in a row.
Immediately afterwards, local media such as the "Chang'an Evening News" began to continuously break the news. Almost every one of them is negative news about [Shanhai League].
"[Shan Hai Meng] obtained a large amount of low-interest loans from the Four Seas Bank, and more than 90% of them were used for infrastructure construction in the territory. There was no profit output at all, and there was a huge risk of default..."
"Shanhai City used the reserves of the Four Seas Bank without authorization, and the bank's treasury is actually an empty shell..."
"[Blood Fiend Mercenary Corps] was coerced by Qiyue Wuyi to become a shareholder of the Four Seas Bank. It is reported that Bloody Romance has intended to withdraw its capital from the Four Seas Bank..."
Every piece of news is specious, both like gossip and inside information. As soon as there is more such negative news, it will naturally attract the attention of players.
Three people become tigers, not just talk.
Ouyang Shuo is not in Shanhai City, so naturally he doesn't know. Besides, most of these negative news came from "Chang'an Evening News" and other local media, and Ouyang Shuo couldn't help paying attention.
Not to mention Ouyang Shuo, even Bai Hua and the others knew nothing about it.
Only the Black Snake Guard's intelligence station in Chang'an intercepted such a piece of information and reported it to the Black Snake Guard's headquarters.
However, in the third year of Gaia, the Black Snake Guard expanded again, and its tentacles stretched farther and farther. There are more than a thousand pieces of information collected to the headquarters every day. Such an unsubstantiated piece of information naturally did not attract the attention of the headquarters. It even said that the desk was not sent to the black snake at all, so it was cut off and dealt with as a file.
For the time being, Chang'an is still a blank spot for the [Shanhai League] forces, and there is no Chang'an guild that cooperates with the Four Seas Bank. It is precisely in this way that these negative news can be fermented rapidly and become more and more intense.
Otherwise, it would have been known to allies long ago.
Just when the players in Chang'an City felt a little bit of distrust towards Universal Bank. The group of players who went to the bank to save money appeared again.
This time they are not here to deposit money, but to withdraw money. Since the opening of Chang'an Sub-branch of Four Seas Bank, a lot of people have saved money, and such a large-scale withdrawal of money is really rare.
Being so abnormal naturally attracted the attention of other players.
After inquiring for a while, I didn't feel an uproar.
Those players who came to withdraw their money, reposted the negative news revealed by the "Chang'an Evening News", emphasizing it again, and finally said firmly: "This kind of bank is too dangerous, so we should withdraw it for peace of mind. This is our hard-earned money."
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Someone echoed.
