Chapter 612: A Sakura Player Who Is As Steady as an Old Dog

"These guys, the routine is actually quite deep."

On the Monarch airship, looking at the situation on the sea below, Jin Ming couldn't help but mutter.

In this regard, Xia Qi, who had just given instructions to Tang Han, was calm.

Looking down from the height they were at now, they could clearly see that there were two cherry blossom fleets on the outskirts of the sea area slowly outflanking them.

The opponent's movements were so careful that they hadn't even entered the radar detection range of their expeditionary fleet.

Looking at that posture, I'm afraid that I have already figured out the performance of their radar in the previous battle.

At that time, once the encirclement is formed, even if Tang Han's expeditionary fleet can force a breakthrough with hard power, I am afraid that it will inevitably pay a lot of price.

However, all these layouts are not worth mentioning at all for Xia Qi, who occupies a high-altitude field of vision.

But at the same time, it also further shows the amateurism of the fish-man army.

Originally, it should be the task of the fish-man forces to control the positions of the various fleets in the sea area, but after the fight, the fish-man troops gathered forces to attack one of the fleets, which directly led to their control of the entire sea area of vision and intelligence, greatly reduced.

If it weren't for the fact that their hard power in naval warfare is really amazing, they would have been taught to be human beings a long time ago according to this style of play.

Following Xia Qi's order, the expeditionary fleet, which directly reversed direction, quickly withdrew.

During this period, looking at the direction of the movement of the light points on the display screen of his own radar, the commander of the Sakura Fleet who hid behind the small island, his face changed instantly.

"Retreated? Is my plan exposed? Impossible! How did they find out where the other two fleets were now located outside of the Europa fleet's radar range? ”

For this situation, the commander of the Sakura fleet can be said to be puzzled.

Without the help of high-precision telescopes, the Monarch airship flying high in the sky is not something they can see clearly with just a pair of naked eyes.

The rapid retreat of the expeditionary fleet directly failed this ambush of the Sakura fleet, and after returning to the original sea area and joining the fish-man troops, the group of fools who sank all the warships of the Sakura fleet seemed to be very satisfied with the results of this battle, and even put on a lofty posture and praised the expeditionary fleet a few words.

In this regard, Tang Han secretly pursed his lips disdainfully, and then asked his adjutant Beckham to deal with the gang of fishmen, and himself, after asking his own emperor's majesty for advice, directly remembered the next plan.

At the same time, in the air of this sea area, with the end of the battle, the flight altitude of the Monarch airship was once again raised above the clouds.

Xia Qi, who hung up the communication, stretched lazily.

Regarding Tang Han's request, Xia Qi's answer was to let him decide for himself.

He came here this time to be a humanoid buf, as for the combat matters, he basically handed over the full authority to Tang Han, and his main purpose was to let Tang Han continue to accumulate combat experience.

For the sake of long-term consideration, he wanted to quickly cultivate this potential stock in order to expand the naval lineup of Great Xia.

After experiencing this wave of battles that were almost calculated by the Sakura fleet, in the next action, Tang Han's decision-making also became more cautious.

Thoughtful consideration, combined with the powerful combat power provided by the Fishman troops in naval battles, almost made him invincible in the next few battles, and at the same time, he quickly accumulated experience.

As time passed, Yamamoto's seven-by-eight Sakura fleet was almost overwhelmed by them.

Seeing the opportunity, Tang Han directly launched a coastal sweep, and the marines quickly landed, and under the cover of fierce naval artillery fire, they captured an entire port strongly, so that the fleet, which had been in a state of expedition for a long time, had a chance to rest. At the same time, under Xia Qi's remote command, the Great Xia side also directly sent a troop transport ship and began to transport troops to this sea area.

After all, Xia Qi's purpose was to directly capture Yamamoto's seven-by-eight territory.

Taking this as a premise, once the landing operation is completed and the advance is to be continued, the land forces between the two sides will inevitably engage in battle, and this little strength in the expeditionary fleet alone is obviously not enough, and another batch must be sent over.

Maintaining a certain rhythm, Tang Han led the expeditionary fleet to continue to sweep the coastal cities and raid the ports of Sakura, rather than choosing to capture a certain city.

He did this, naturally, because of his considerations.

They now have a limited number of troops, and if they occupy a certain cherry blossom city, they will definitely send a large number of army troops to fight back.

When the time comes, they will definitely fall into a disadvantage with limited troops.

Therefore, it is better not to occupy it for the first time, and wait for the rear troop transport ships to arrive at the front line.

Of course, during this period, he will definitely not be idle, frantically suppressing the naval combat power of the Sakura fleet, sweeping coastal cities and plundering materials has become Tang Han's main task during this time.

In the face of the expeditionary fleet's strong approach, Yamamoto's seven-by-eight, whose naval strength had been severely hit, was helpless at all, and he completely fell into a terrible situation that could only be beaten unilaterally.

And the citizens of those coastal cities have fallen into a state of panic.

Those who have the slightest conditions have already fled to the central cities of various islands with their families and mouths.

The arrival of the troop transport ship was a few months later, and by this time, the entire sea area around Yamamoto's seven-by-eight territory had already changed owners.

Xia Qi, who had received the news in advance, directly signaled Tang Han to capture a port city as a front-line stronghold.

In addition to this, all the other ports and shipyards in Yamamoto's seven-by-eight territory were indiscriminately destroyed by the offensive of their expeditionary fleet and fish-man forces.

Obviously, this approach is not only suppressing Yamamoto's seven-by-eight naval combat power, but also restricting the manufacture of his follow-up naval warships.

At the time of the destruction of those shipyards, there were still many half-built battleships inside.

It can be said that after this round, Yamamoto's loss of seven times eight is not insignificant.

After this, the expeditionary fleet, which had firmly occupied a port city, allowed the troops to land smoothly when they arrived.

As a result, the front-line troops of Great Xia suddenly hoarded more than 50,000.

Tang Han, on the other hand, continued to take his expeditionary fleet and swept around Yamamoto's seven-by-eight territorial waters.

By the time the battle had been fought, Yamamoto's seven-by-eight sea power had been almost wiped out, and it took a lot of means to establish a clear advantage, which must be firmly grasped, and the other side could not be given another chance to develop.

At this time, the situation in this sea area is very similar to this entire battlefield.

Yamamoto's seven-by-eight archipelago territory is compared to various continents, and Tang Han's expeditionary fleet and the fish-man troops in this sea area are Europa's invincible armada.

Now that Yamamoto has almost completely wiped out his sea power, he can basically only obediently wait for them to be beaten one by one, and this is the end of losing control of territorial waters.

No matter how you look at the situation in this sea area, it is impossible to go out again, so next, Xia Qi's attention is once again focused on the advance operation of the Great Xia Army.

Unlike the navy, the next battle of the army will be commanded by Xia Qi and Jin Ming by radio.

And the main force of this expeditionary army is the ace force in Xia Qi's hand, the Imperial City Praetorian Guard!

Xia Qi, who occupies a port city, did not rush to signal his army troops to attack, but directly took his Monarch airship to conduct a high-altitude reconnaissance first, he wanted to take a look at the movement of Yamamoto 7 by 8 first, so as to confirm his future tactical arrangements.

Originally, according to Xia Qi's expectations, before the land war began, Yamamoto, who was frequently deflated in sea wars, should seize the opportunity to take the initiative this time.

On the one hand, it is naturally because the other side urgently needs a victory to boost morale, so as to redeem the heavy blow of its previous frequent defeats in naval battles.

On the other hand, because the cities in his territory have fallen into the hands of the enemy, this kind of thing will affect the loyalty of the people to him, and even shake his rule, and must be recaptured as soon as possible.

However, what Xia Qi didn't expect was that this time, Yamamoto was unexpectedly calm.

The previous successive defeats not only did not make him impatient, but instead made him feel more and more cautious.

Of course, to some extent, it is also possible that I was instigated, and I was worried that I would be deflated again when I moved.

At that time, the loyalty of the people to him is estimated to drop even lower.

Rather than that, it is better to adapt to change without change.

That port city has been lost, and its face and prestige have almost been lost, and no matter how miserable it will be, how miserable it will be in the future.

Based on this mentality, Yamamoto decisively chose to play a defensive battle in this wave of seven times eight, and he had a geographical advantage as a defender, and the odds of winning were greater.

When the time comes, see the opportunity to go back with a round of counteroffensive and snatch back the fallen port city.

It's better than rushing out and only to suffer again, which makes things worse.

It has to be said that this idea is correct.

Because Xia Qi was ready to defend instead of attack at the beginning.

When the time comes, as soon as Yamamoto's seven-by-eight Sakura army attacks, he will definitely unceremoniously give the opponent a wave of head-on blows, beat the opposite side until the morale collapses, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue, and then completely capture the entire island in one go.

Now that the other party didn't call, it disrupted Xia Qi's plan a little.

It doesn't matter, though.

Since you don't move, then you're welcome!

On the Monarch airship, after reducing the speed of the airship to a minimum, several elven druids on the airship jumped out one after another as the emergency exit opened.

At this moment, they were at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and there were thick clouds below, which did not make them feel a trace of fear.

As the body fell, the elven druid's transformation spell unleashed, and in the blink of an eye, several elves in the sky disappeared, replaced by several giant eagles flying out of the clouds.

The size of this island is not small, but it is definitely not that big, and the elven druids who broke away from the monarch airship went their separate ways.

In this era when there are no skyscrapers in the current building, the towering signal towers can only be said to be too eye-catching, and it is easy to find them.

Depending on the distance, one elven druid after another took place.

Then, half a month later, in the early hours of the morning, in the dark night sky, a black object fell from the sky.

In the next second, only an earth-shattering bang was heard, and the violent explosion destroyed the signal tower at the same time, but also completely woke countless people from their sleep!

The destruction of the signal tower caused chaos around them, and this time the attack came so suddenly that there was no warning, and even at this moment, they didn't know where the enemy was coming from.

The Sakura Army troops stationed around made an emergency dispatch, which made the whole atmosphere tense up instantly.

And the same thing is happening all over the island.

This night is destined to be unpeaceful.
