Chapter 412 Encirclement and Annihilation
With worries about the Kristina, Kristina and I quickly caught up with the Bank's special defense fleet that was engaged in a pursuit battle. Although the battle with Poseidon took a lot of time, battleships are not fast after all. Even if the battleships in the game are generally % more maneuverable than real battleships, they will never be able to run on the sea. Long gun's jet thruster.
When the fleet came into view a few minutes later I immediately started counting. "One, two, three... Fortunately, all the battleships are here!" After confirming that there was no problem with the number of the fleet, I finally felt relieved.
Kristina is different from me. She didn't care about the number of fleets over there, but directly resisted the Kristina named after herself. What she saw was a bare flat battleship. This discovery almost startled Kristina, and then she exclaimed: "Oh my God! What happened to my battleship?"
"Your battleship?" I didn't react at first, but then I realized that Kristina was talking about the Kristina. But when I moved my eyes over, I found that I couldn't find the Kristina. . When I was counting before, I just saw the outline of a ship, even if it was a battleship. I didn't take a closer look at the situation on the battleship. Now I went to look for them one by one and found that the Kristina was missing. But if the number is correct, it can only be said that all the battleships of our guild are here. In other words, the Kristina is in the fleet.
Although our bank's support fleet has arrived, it has not caught up with the defense fleet in front, so the Kristina must be among the battleships here, but the Kristina's prominent But my body shape was not recognized by me at first sight. After careful inspection, I finally found the Kristina, which had eluded me in the first round of searching, and understood why this battleship suddenly disappeared from my sight. It's not because the appearance of the Kristina is not special enough, or because it has activated the mirage system, but because - its superstructure is missing.
That's right. The entire deck of the Kristina now looks like an aircraft carrier that has just been bombed. Except for the big hole in the middle of the deck, there is no so-called superstructure at all. The entire ship island had completely disappeared at this time, and what was left was a huge battleship hull, and the hull was covered with wounds. There are traces of blackening and some bluish-white bullet marks everywhere. These white marks are not paint, but the marks left by the ricochet after the cannonball hit the steel plate. As for the black parts, it goes without saying that it was smoked out after the cannonball exploded.
The tragic situation of the Kristina fully illustrates what kind of attacks it suffered during this period. However, although the superstructure of the entire battleship has been completely missing, thanks to the abnormal-level protection concept of the company that spares no expense, This battleship named after the mage Kristina actually has none of the thin-skinned and crispy characteristics of mages. On the contrary, it showed the ability to survive like a human shield, despite being beaten so badly. It can actually maintain the formation sailing speed, which shows that its navigation system has not been damaged at all.
Just when we were far away, I glanced at the knowledge and felt that the Kristina had been beaten badly. After getting closer, I realized that it should be called tragic, because not a single piece of the entire deck of the Kristina was the original color. The completely black deck indicated that a fire had occurred here, and the superstructure had completely disappeared, so the casualties would certainly not be much smaller. However, the Kristina's survivability is really abnormal. Not only can it sustain such damage, it can keep up with the pursuit formation. It actually retained some of its combat effectiveness.
Yes, the Kristina really still has combat capability. Its fourth turret, the forward turret on the rear deck, is still alive. Although the left barrel of this turret is missing, the right barrel is still functional. What's even more exaggerated is that because there is no island, the turret originally located on the rear deck can actually fire forward. It was originally because of the obstruction of the ship island. There is no way to fire forward from this position, and in order to prevent accidental fire, the rotation angle of this turret is actually only 280 degrees. It has no way to turn forward at all, but now it is pointing straight ahead and directly over The original location of the ship island was firing forward.
Being able to do this kind of thing shows that the command system of the Kristina is still there. Because only the communication connection in the command system can still be used, this fourth turret can attack through the data provided by other surrounding warships. After all, without the ship island, the Kristina's own sighting system has actually been completely paralyzed. Without third-party auxiliary information, it can only perform direct shooting at close range. The fact that long-range bombardment can be carried out under this situation only shows that the data transmission system is still working, and at least it shows that the personnel in the command room at least maintain the minimum configuration standard. Otherwise it would be impossible to do such a thing.
In addition to the communication system remaining intact, the damage control personnel on the Kristina should also be able to work. After all, the fourth turret originally had a limiter, so it could not aim forward. Now that it can Turning to this angle, it means that maintenance personnel must have removed the limiter. You must know that this limiter is not a small part on the car. The structure of the thing is quite complicated. The removal work not only requires the cooperation of many people, but also requires special tools. If this can be done, it only means that the maintenance team is not only alive, but also relatively free. Otherwise, if the battleship is seriously damaged, they should first go to other places for repairs instead of tinkering with the cannons.
I guess this situation may be because the armor of the Kristina is too thick. Although the battleship hull was hit many times, none of them were penetrated. Therefore, there must be no damage to the interior of the hull, and there is basically no need for it. repair. As for the ship island... that thing has been completely torn down, and the maintenance staff are not magicians, so they can just tinker with it. In this situation, they can't just conjure up a ship island and install it, right? Therefore, the damage control personnel must be in a state of idleness now, so that they still have time to use their remaining heat to build this turret that can fire forward from the rear deck.
Although the Kristina was extremely strong, it was damaged like this and it was necessary to return to the factory for overhaul. However, this time we tested the overall protection of our battleship from the side, and the result was pretty good. The only thing that makes me wonder is why the Kristina's island is missing. By the way, when we separated before, only the front half of the island was hit with a big hole. Although Cambridge was seriously damaged, most of the back part was still intact. Why was the entire island gone after such a while?
Of course, the only way to know the answer is to ask people in the fleet, so I asked Kristina to take me directly to the Kristina. At this time, the middle deck of the Kristina was still smoking. But it's not very serious. Judging from the distortion of the metal, it doesn't seem to be caused by the explosion. It seems that other creatures landed on the battleship after we left and caused secondary damage to the ship island.
Although it was strange where the monster came from when Poseidon was dragged by us, I could only let Kristina help me inside the hull first.
The location of the Kristina's reserve command cabin is not difficult to find, and the internal structures of the warships in our guild are basically the same. Following the passage, we quickly found the command cabin. What I saw after entering was similar to what I thought before, and the people inside were quite complete. At least the normal function management personnel of the battleship are there.
As soon as Sophie saw me, she immediately raised her head and said in surprise: "President, are you back? Have you dealt with all the sea monsters?"
I nodded as an answer, then pointed directly upward and asked: "What's going on with the Kristina's island?"
"It's not those monsters that are causing trouble." Sophie complained: "After you led those monsters away, we went to chase the United Fleet. Unexpectedly, there was actually a sea monster hidden in their fleet, and then that guy came from the bottom of the sea. He lurked down and suddenly jumped on our deck and started attacking the superstructure of the battleship. Thanks to the previous incident, we have moved all the personnel into the lower structure of the battleship, otherwise our sailors would have suffered heavy losses this time."
"What does that sea monster look like? Does it have any characteristics?" I asked because I wanted to confirm whether this sea monster was summoned by Poseidon. After all, if there are two such players in the opponent's fleet, our subsequent naval battle will be very difficult. But be careful.
Fortunately, Sophie's answer was more reassuring. The monster was not as big as the previous ones, and the blood it spurted out when it was killed was also red. Although the monster summoned by Poseidon has various shapes. But no matter what kind of monster it is, its blood is blue. This monster with red blood should be summoned by another player. Anyway, it was not created by Poseidon. Moreover, it can be confirmed from Sophie's description that the opponent cannot be summoned continuously like Poseidon, nor can it be summoned multiple times. Because no second monster has appeared since this monster was killed, it means that this player's battery life is not as good as Poseidon.
Now that we know this new summoner poses no threat, the rest is much easier.
The combined fleet in the pursuit is currently fleeing madly, but our support fleet is not far behind. In fact, when Kristina and I were fighting that Poseidon, the support fleet had already surpassed us a little bit, but because we were eager to come over and see the situation here, we didn't wait for the support fleet. But it flew over directly. In this case, we left the support fleet far behind, but the distance is not far after all, so it is only a matter of time before the rear bottoms out and catches up.
We have backup, so we no longer need to engage in pursuit battles like chasing sheep. What we need now is to intercept the fleet in front and then enter a regular artillery battle mode with them. After the previous battle, the number of the opponent's fleet has been reduced to a very low state. Although the number is still large, it no longer constitutes an absolute numerical advantage. Especially after our reinforcement fleet arrives, this numerical gap may even be reversed, so in this case there is no need for conservative tactics.
"What? Our reinforcements are coming?" Sophie laughed immediately after hearing me mention the reinforcements and said: "Haha, let's see how they die this time. After the order was given, the ships spread out and overtook each other at high speed from both wings. Fleet group, go ahead and intercept their warships, we can send all these guys to the bottom of the sea and still feel at ease."
"Understood." The correspondent quickly issued information to the warships, and after confirming that reinforcements were coming from behind, the warships immediately began to act according to the order.
The warships on our side suddenly accelerated, and all the forces in the combined fleet ahead immediately began to be confused. Because our battleships are following behind their butts, and it is impossible for us to pass directly through the middle of their fleets. Although the defense of our warships is relatively abnormal, no one wants to be bombarded, right? If they are sailing towards each other head-on, it is not a bad idea to intersperse them. After all, the relative speed of the two sides is very fast, and they will pass in one go. But we are currently sailing in the same direction. Even if our speed is faster, it will definitely take a lot of time to pass through the opponent's fleet group. And in this state, when attacked from both sides, our warships will be easily hit. Before, it was a last-ditch battle, and they had to be surrounded in order to deal damage. Now, they are preparing to kill people. How can they penetrate the middle of their fleet group?
Precisely because we cannot pass through the center of someone else's fleet, we can only take detours on both sides. Therefore, if the fleet wants to surpass the other party, it must first move to the opponent's two wings. So in a short period of time, we saw our warship making a tilted course.
The people in the combined fleet were quite happy to see our fleet turning at first, thinking that we were planning to give up the pursuit. But they soon discovered a problem. Because our battleships did not turn in one direction, but divided into two parts and separated towards both sides of them in a V-shaped formation.
"Holy crap, what are those people from the Frost Rose Alliance doing?" asked a player from the British guild.
The member next to him shook his head and said: "I only know that something is definitely not good. But...it's strange! Their battleship seems to be accelerating!"
"Hey, you didn't tell me that I haven't noticed yet, but if I take a closer look... holy shit, what's going on?"
Just when the players of the combined fleet over there were looking at our fleet's actions with confusion, our warship suddenly went berserk. I saw that the warship that was turning suddenly began to speed up, and the speed increased very quickly, in less than ten seconds. Our battleship has become like a high-speed motorboat. The bow part is almost completely out of the water, while the tail part of the battleship is only partially in the water, and a huge spray of water is sprayed behind the battleship that is longer than the battleship itself. At the same time, the seawater under the hull was also split due to the structure of the bottom of the battleship, and sprayed out far to both sides.
"Oh my God! This is unscientific!" Everyone in the combined fleet was completely frightened by the crazy speed of the battleship in front of them. This is no longer a battleship, because no matter how fast a regular battleship changes speed, it cannot show this state. This is a water motorboat. And this speed is actually increasing.
The fact is that the guesses of the players in the United Fleet are correct, because this speed is indeed unscientific. No matter how powerful the battleship's propeller is, as the speed increases, its output damage will increase accordingly, and this increase will form an ever-rising curve structure. Based on this situation, we can know that any thruster actually has a theoretical output limit. That is to say, when the speed reaches a certain standard, no matter how much power is increased, the speed will not continue to increase.
The theoretical limit speed of underwater propeller propellers is actually very low, and our warships use supercharged turbine propellers, which are jet propellers. This propeller sucks in seawater from the front of the hull and then pressurizes and accelerates it out from the stern to generate thrust. The speed generated by this propulsion method is definitely higher than that of a propeller, but the theoretical limit of this thing is actually not very high. The current situation of our warships has obviously exceeded the limits of jet thrusters. If this is an airplane and uses an air turbine, then this speed is not surprising, but the problem is that this is a battleship! A warship of hundreds of thousands of tons can actually reach this speed using a water turbine. Is God kidding us?
The answer is of course not that God is joking, nor is there a bug in the system, but because - the solar furnace has started.
The fleet coming here this time is going to Indonesia to change defenses and replace old warships without flight capabilities. Therefore, all the warships heading this time are equipped with solar furnaces and can fly. Of course, in order to keep the secret, we issued a death order before. We would rather the entire fleet be annihilated than allow any warship to fly.
However, in this situation, Sophie made a sidestep.
The solar furnace used for flight on the battleship was indeed activated and output considerable propulsion power, but our battleship did not leave the water. Although in a sense, these warships can already be regarded as flying on the sea, there is still a gap between flying in the actual sense. Therefore, this situation can be said to be a violation of the regulations, or it can be said that it is not a violation, because we only ordered not to let the warships fly, and we did not say not to start the solar furnace!
Because of this sidestep, all our warships have now entered rampage mode. The power of the flying battleship is very powerful. Although the battleship is not completely out of the water and is affected by huge resistance, the speed can only reach the limit. But our battleship itself has underwater propellers to share part of the resistance, so the speed is still terrifyingly fast. The players of the United Fleet were all dumbfounded as they watched our warships jumping forward on the sea like those two-person motorboats on the beach, with their coquettish takeoffs and shocking landings. It was like a sledgehammer hitting the nerves of every United Fleet player.
"Who can tell me what is going on?" Looking at those rampaging warships, everyone in the combined fleet completely lost their sense of proportion. If they had hoped to escape by relying on their numerical superiority and fighting while retreating, now they were completely desperate in this situation. Damn it, compared to them, my battleship is like a turtle! Although in the story of the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise won in the end. Unfortunately, the reality is that the hare is always faster than the tortoise. What's more, our warships are now in the form of drugged rabbits. These are no longer ordinary rabbits. This is the crazy rabbit, the runaway rabbit.
Because I was still in a weak state and couldn't move for the time being, I didn't go outside. Instead, I stayed in the command room with Sophie. It is for this reason that I had no idea that our own warship had begun to go berserk, and the Kristina we were on did not participate in the rampage at all. After all, the Kristina was seriously damaged. Now it's only suitable for skimming the formation from behind.
By the time Kristina saw this situation on the deck and came to tell me, it was actually a long time later. At this time, our warships had already reached top speed. Now if we test it, we will find that the speed of our warships is basically above 200 knots. Let alone ships, very few torpedoes can reach this speed. Except, of course, supercavitating torpedoes.
Overtaking the opponent's warship at such a speed is a complete abuse. Even if the fastest warship in the combined fleet reaches its ultimate speed regardless of fuel consumption and mechanical losses, its speed will not exceed fifty knots. The normal cruising speed of the slower warships is only twenty-eight knots, and the limit is less than thirty-five knots. This kind of speed is almost like standing still under the average speed of our warships of 0+. They could only watch helplessly as our warships overtook and overtook us all the way. Even the blocking artillery had no time to track our warships and shoot because the turret's rotation speed could no longer keep up.
Originally, Sophie meant to let our warships rush all the way to the front, but after Kristina ran down and excitedly told me about this, I immediately scolded Sophie, a daring little girl. A meal. Although it is not against the rules if she does this, and the enemy does not know that our warships can fly. But at least people now know that our warships can run at a speed of 200 knots. It is actually very bad for this matter to be exposed. After all, if others know about it, they will be defensive, and what we don’t like the most is to be defensive.
"But the order has been given, and the other party has seen it. There is nothing we can do at this time!" Sophie said while pretending to be pitiful.
I ignored Sophie's answer and said directly to the ship: "Notify each ship to turn off the solar furnaces in sequence according to the startup sequence. Make a state that the explosion is over, and then reduce the speed of the underwater thrusters to half of the normal speed. "
"Ah?" Sophie shouted when she heard this: "If the speed is reduced so much, no one will speed up. How will we intercept the opponent's fleet then?"
"Do you still know how to intercept the opponent's fleet?" I said angrily: "Once you show combat effectiveness beyond common sense, the opponent's fleet may resort to desperate measures at any time and directly disband the fleet and disperse in all directions to break through. With us here How many warships can we stop?"
Sophie immediately calmed down when she heard what I said. She finally realized where her mistake was, but after thinking about it for a moment, she said: "Turn off the solar furnace to pretend that the power burst can only last for a very short time. I I don’t object, but the speed cannot be reduced too much, otherwise our warships will not be able to intercept the opponent and it will affect the final battle result!"
I have to say that what Sophie said made sense, so I finally changed the order and lowered the final advancement speed to just a little faster than the speed of the opponent's escaping warship. Although this speed is still faster than the opponent's warships, based on the normal speed of our guild's warships, this speed is actually lower than the normal speed.
When the order was passed on, our fleet had basically reached the front half of the opponent's combined fleet. After contacting each other for a moment, we saw one of the warships in our fleet suddenly erupting from the ventilation duct at the rear of the hull. There was a huge puff of black smoke. Immediately afterwards, the speed of the battleship suddenly began to decrease. At the same time, the front end of the battleship gradually began to fall back to the sea, and the tracks on both sides of the battleship also began to gradually disappear. The draft of the hull increased, and the battleship quickly returned to normal condition.
Although the black smoke is something I didn't mention, our players in the Frost Rose Alliance are all very smart. After all, with such strict membership conditions, only elites are admitted. Those who can serve as battleship commanders in such a guild are of course the elite among the elite, so these players are all very, very powerful guys. The black smoke just produced is the arrangement made by the captain of this battleship after understanding my intention. Because it would be a bit strange if the speed was suddenly reduced, but instead it suddenly smoked like this. Then the speed drop becomes significantly more believable. When a normal person sees the black smoke and then finds the ship's speed plummeting, of course he will think that there is a problem with the propeller, and the specific cause of the problem... Does that need to be said? The speed just reached such a long distance, and the problem just now shows that the mechanical quality is quite exaggerated.
As the speed of the first battleship dropped rapidly, the subsequent battleships began to slow down one after another even though there was no smoke, but their speed did not drop so suddenly. This was to make the other side think that the other battleships were because one battleship ran away. The engine stopped, so I didn't dare to continue racing.
In order to further deceive those United Fleet guys. Our captains have used all their wisdom this time. As the speed of the battleship group decreased one by one, a battleship that was still continuing to sail at high speed clearly separated from the group and rushed directly to the front. Then, just as the battleship began to prepare to turn to block the combined fleet, suddenly, behind the battleship A ball of flame suddenly spurted out from the exhaust pipe, and then the battleship's speed immediately began to decrease rapidly.
The players in the combined fleet all shouted excitedly: "Look, another one has exploded. Another one has exploded!"
Because we want the other party to think that our explosion has seriously damaged the power system, this battleship that has been running for a long time behaved more thoroughly. The previous black-smoking battleship still maintained half of its speed after the Solar Furnace was shut down. Although this speed was significantly slower than the European battleships in the combined fleet, it was at least still sailing. However, the last one spewed out flames and thick smoke. However, Yan's battleship fell completely silent after losing speed, acting as if it had completely lost power. Not only did the speed drop to only a dozen knots, it also continued to drop, obviously relying on inertia to move forward.
Although for the sake of authenticity, our number of warships participating in the blocking was reduced by two, but the blocking task actually did not require that many warships. The remaining warships still maintained a faster speed than the combined fleet and rushed to the combined fleet. The front began to gradually move directly in front of them.
After seeing this action of our warships, people in the combined fleet have actually realized our intentions, just because our reinforcement fleet has not been discovered yet. Therefore, they were not too nervous, and felt that these warships alone could not destroy them all. Although they could kill a few ships, it was impossible to keep the entire combined fleet. As for whether he will be the unlucky guy... people are all lucky. At least no one in the United Fleet thinks that they will be so unlucky.
As the speed of our warships slowed down, players from various guilds in the combined fleet also gathered into small groups and began to discuss the situation. Because we operated the British warships to escape first, now the combined fleet has actually lost its unified command. Those small and medium-sized guilds that thought they had been sold no longer trusted the British guild, so they began to form gangs and gathered into small groups that could trust each other in a way that they felt was reliable. Although this situation has weakened the overall combat effectiveness of the combined fleet, at least under the current circumstances, the fleet can retain a minimum combat effectiveness, which is better than fighting separately and running away together.
On one of the battleships, a group from France was discussing the situation. A captain said: "The warships of the Frost Rose Alliance must be equipped with some kind of explosive function, which can instantly increase the speed of the ship to a very exaggerated speed when necessary."
Another player nodded and said: "Fortunately, this device doesn't seem to be able to work for a long time. Just after running for less than ten minutes, two warships actually settled down."
"Only one ship should be completely paralyzed, and the other one can still maintain its basic speed. Although it is not as fast as our warships, it is not completely behind."
At this time, another guild leader stood up and said: "I don't know if you have noticed that the battleships that did not have any problems seem to be not as fast as before after seeing the malfunctions of their companions and taking the initiative to slow down."
"Slowing down is certainly not as fast as before." A guy who reacted too quickly said casually.
A person next to him patted him and said: "What President Jack means is that their speed is not faster when they are hanging directly behind us. It seems that even if there is no direct malfunction. After this outbreak is over, the opponent's speed will There will also be a corresponding decrease in payment requests, but the speed after the decrease is still a little faster than us, but this can be used."
"We can't talk about using them, right?" A guild leader said: "They are still faster than us. Even if we want to use them, we still can't catch up with them. At most, we can just aim better when attacking."
"Hey, this Frost Rose Alliance is really terrible!" A guild president said a little frustrated. Then there was a sigh in the conference room.
At this time, the contents of the meetings of other small groups around him were roughly the same. In short, analysis was carried out. It is believed that the warships in our guild cannot maintain this speed burst mode for a long time. The maximum working time does not exceed ten minutes, and the probability of the propeller being scrapped is very high. And they also concluded that our warships will have a slowdown in speed after the outbreak, but they don't know how long this time will be. Of course, they really have no way of knowing this time, because the length of this time is completely under our control. As long as we are willing, we can immediately erupt again. Anyway, the previous state indicates the normal navigation state of the Solar Furnace. The reason why it looks so spectacular is entirely because the warship did not fly at that time. It's the reason for speeding along the sea surface. Think about those fighter jets in the sky. Although their normal cruising speed can reach above the speed of sound, it doesn't seem that exaggerated from the ground. But if they fly close to the ground at this speed, what will you know? It's called spectacular. If it flies at that speed, the wake created by the fighter jet is enough to overturn the cars on the ground below, and it can shatter all the window glass of all nearby houses within a few hundred meters. That effect is basically equivalent to the attack state.
The situation with our battleship was the same just now. If he had kept flying in the sky at this speed, even if he was only seven or eight meters away from the sea, there would not have been such an exaggerated effect. Therefore, this state is actually not any burden on our warships at all, but just a normal sailing mode. Speaking of burden... the bottom armor plate is a bit burdensome, after all, it is sailing on the water at such a fast speed. The impact of sea water is still very strong. If the hull is not strong enough, the huge resistance of the contact part between the hull and the sea surface can tear the hull alive.
At this point, everyone in the combined fleet can come to such a conclusion, which means that our combat plan has been completely completed. At least they didn't expect that we actually have a flying device, and even this high-speed navigation capability has been partially concealed. After all, if it was just a short-term outbreak, it would be an exaggeration. But after all, it doesn’t last long, and it has side effects, so it doesn’t attract much attention.
Just as everyone in the combined fleet was discussing the results, our warships that pretended to be slower finally succeeded in climbing to the front of the opponent's fleet, and these warships began to gradually reduce their speed.
Of course, everyone in the combined fleet noticed the other party's reaction immediately, and then began to guess. Some people believe that the slowdown of our guild's warships is due to the sequelae caused by the previous power explosion, while others firmly believe that this is our guild's original combat intention. Because our warships obviously deliberately ran in front of them, and as warships with normal structure, the firepower of our Frost Rose Alliance warships is also heavier in the front and lighter in the rear, which means that if you run in front, you will actually suffer. However, we still do it. Then, there is only one result, and that is that we came here deliberately to block their progress.
In fact, even if our battleship reaches the front of the team, it probably won't be able to block the battleships behind it. After all, the sea is not on a highway. If you slow down in front, the car behind you will have to slow down if you don't want to rear-end you. This is the sea. The surroundings are navigable everywhere, and with the size of the gaps between the battleship groups, we can freely pass by our battleships without worrying about collisions.
But will we let them get by so easily? If the opponent does not slow down after we slow down, the distance between the two sides will naturally become closer, and in this case we will start to take the lead in shelling the warships in front of the opponent's array. The warship in this position is either the most afraid of death and eager to escape, or it is a fast warship. but. Once we start shelling, those who are afraid of death will definitely start to slow down. Because they don't want to be the cannon fodder. As for those who are fast... If they slow down, then forget it, but if they continue to rush forward... our cannonballs have eyes, and they will never recognize the wrong person.
Facts have proved that our psychological tactics are very effective, just like the iron wire on the battlefield. Although it will not cause much damage, it can greatly reduce the forward speed of the charging troops. Our battleships were the first to slow down, so they acted like iron wires. If the opponent speeds up and rushes regardless of our speed, we will simply not be able to suppress so many warships. And it can't cause much damage to them. In the end, they will be overtaken. Although they will definitely lose some battleships, it will certainly not be all. Not even halfway there. However, the current situation is that the opponent's entire fleet has been suppressed by us. As our battleship slowed down, the speed of the opponent's battleship also obviously began to decrease. When the two sides were in a chasing battle before, their average speed was above thirty-five knots. Now the speed of the entire fleet has been suppressed to only twenty-five knots, and it is still decreasing further.
Of course, we can't suddenly make an emergency stop here. A battleship is not a car, so it can't stop suddenly. Even using an anchor won't work. After all, the tonnage of the battleship is there, even if the anchor really hooks something and gets stuck. The inertia generated by the tonnage of the battleship will definitely drag the anchor on the seabed like an old ox pulling a plow to plow a large trench on the seabed. Moreover, even if we can make an emergency stop, the battleship behind us will certainly not be able to stop. We need to use this psychological tactic to suppress their speed bit by bit, not to push them into a hurry and make them jump over the wall in a hurry.
"The fleet behind can already see us." When the speed of both fleets dropped to twenty knots, the communications staff on the Kristina finally sent a message.
Of course Sophie and I were very happy to hear such news, but Sophie soon became unhappy. Because after the communicator was connected, what came out of the crystal was King Chuang's voice.
"Sophie, you are famous today." King Chuang's voice was obviously teasing.
Sophie also knew what Chuang Wang meant. With such a powerful fleet, it was beaten so badly. The flagship Kristina was half disabled. Such a record can only be said to be embarrassing and thrown into the grandma's house. Fortunately, the Kristina did not sink in the end, and at least they suppressed the fleet on the opposite side and did not let go of any warship before reinforcements arrived. This result is still barely acceptable. Of course, the main reason why Chuang Wang didn't blame Sophie was that Kristina and I were on the boat. Thinking about it, since I couldn't change this ending here, it means that the battle must have encountered a serious problem, so the responsibility may not entirely lie on Sophie.
In fact, King Chuang's judgment was completely correct, and this unexpected situation was that Poseidon. There's nothing I can do against this guy's summoned beast, but it's really useful against battleships. As the saying goes, one thing brings down another, I can only wait for death if I encounter this Poseidon, but I can only wait for death if a battleship encounters him. Not to mention that the Kristina was ordered not to fly this time. Even if we lift all bans and allow the Kristina to fully exert its combat capabilities, Poseidon can still do it without Kristina and me to restrain it. Sink the entire fleet. This is what is called a professional. That guy is a professional at fighting warships, and he can hit them accurately every time.
As Sophie reluctantly bowed her head and admitted her mistake and apologized, I also said a few words to help her explain the situation. After Chuang Wang understood the reason, he said nothing more. Besides, I had already spoken, and he was embarrassed to talk to me. Do it!
Due to a problem with the sighting system, when the rear reinforcement fleet entered the range, the front combined fleet still did not realize that our reinforcements had actually arrived, and they had already entered the attack coverage of our warships, but we did not intend to let them enter. Visible distance.
The battleship group of our Frost Rose Alliance is originally characterized by beyond-visual-range attacks. All the guilds we have dealt with know this, so we don't need to hide this ability. Although there is no leading ship here to guide now, the warships brought by the Kristina are here and can fully serve as the leading ship.
In addition to being fast, the only difference between a lead ship and ordinary battleships is that it is equipped with an ultra-large-caliber sighting system and a huge communication room. Both of these things are standard on battleships of the battleship level, so as long as If it is a battleship from our guild, it can serve as a lead ship. However, it is too luxurious to use a battleship as a lead ship, so a special lead ship will be produced.
Now in this situation, there is no need for King Chuang and others to send out a leading ship. The warships on our side have directly taken over the guidance responsibility. And because we have a large number of warships, there is more triangular data for positioning, so naturally targeting will be more accurate.
After King Chuang confirmed the bombardment data, the first round of shells flew over soon, and then the people in the combined fleet were in tragedy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
