Chapter 1136: Expedition Overture (3)
For the people of the Tang family, Su Jing still likes it.
In the past hundred years of cooperation, the Tang family has never cheated and cheated on its allies, and when it is necessary to go up, it has never cheated on friendly troops. The strength of the Tang family has expanded rapidly, and it has been obtained in exchange for countless sacrifices.
The older generation of Tang family immortals were shocked by their deaths and injuries. But unlike the Li family, the rising star of the Tang family has risen extremely fast, and the power of the immortal level has not only not decreased, but has vaguely surpassed an old family like the Su family.
This time, the Tang family photographed a fleet of 1.8 million people, and the main force was only 600,000, but the other 1.2 million people were also higher in combat effectiveness than the mercenaries that Su Jing came up later.
The Tang family is an army directly drawn from the South China Sea countries, and it can be seen that the Tang family's training on this side has not fallen behind at all.
The commander of the combined fleet is Su Jing, the highest commander of the Tang family, and also a true immortal, with the same rank as Tang He, and now he is considered an old man in the Tang family.
This person's name is Tang Duo, and he looks a little bigger than Tang He, and he should be a little later in becoming an immortal.
Tang Duo, like Tang He, is delicate and elegant, speaks unhurriedly, and every sentence is in a key position, which can save you a lot of time.
As a true immortal, Tang Duo was not arrogant at all, he put one of his projections on Su Jing's side, and always listened to Su Jing's arrangement. Of course, Su Jing would not say that he would let the Tang family take the lead, Tang Duo was quite clear, so his posture was very low.
The Tang family's fleet is slightly different from that of Su Jing's side, and the four main surface warships have been purchased and copied. However, the Tang family did not have a flying snake ship, but replaced it with a stargate ship, which was similar to the flying snake ship.
The war within the plane does not need the concept of an aircraft carrier, and Su Jing now understands it. The fleet of the Tang family also does not have similar equipment.
But the Tang family has two more types of warships. One is the Meteor Ship, which is a small air combat warship, and the other is the Abyss Ship, which is a dual-purpose warship for both surface and underwater purposes.
Because the Shenmu ship was involved in the Shenmu Dao Palace, the Tang family didn't buy it. This kind of abyss ship can also replace the function of the Shenmu ship.
The combined number of soldiers on both sides was 6.8 million, and the size of the fleet was extremely large. The Tang family's establishment is similar to that of Su Jing's, with one hundred and eighty-eight warships as a large fleet.
A large fleet can carry two hundred thousand soldiers, that is, a legion.
The combination of the two families resulted in a fleet of thirty-four large fleets with more than 6,000 warships. Of course, this is not comparable to the size of the fleet of the Divine Empire. And the battleship on Su Jing's side. A variety of smaller ships are also included.
The number of warships on Su Jing's side is extremely standardized, except for the temporary combination of small fleets, the number of medium fleets is fixed at thirty-six, including floating and underwater warships, and if the medium fleet is the unit where the commander of the large fleet is located, eight additional warships will be added.
Five medium fleets formed a large fleet, and the number of warships reached one hundred and eighty-eight. With this kind of formation, five flying snake ships will be combined. A special type of Flying Serpent is formed, capable of repairing any equipment at sea.
fleet. Flying kites do not occupy the establishment, and are generally on the scale of 400 to 600. This is a floating battleship controlled by two people, and it is a consumable. The operator of this floating battleship is not a human, but an integrated puppet.
If necessary, the Kite can also carry two humans or a slightly larger race. Once loaded with members, the Kite can also fight from a distance. If it is only manipulated by a puppet, with the Qinglong ship as the core, the control distance is only five hundred miles. Of course, when the environment is good, this distance will increase a lot.
It's just that the material made by the flying kite ship itself is extremely ordinary. It can't carry too good formations, and even ordinary jade below the sixth grade can only be used. With such a carrying capacity, it is destined that the time in the air will not be too long, otherwise the formation will be damaged and the hull will be injured.
The ultimate speed of the flying kite ship is only 1,200 miles per hour. Slower than some helicopters. And the continuous operation of the formation will not exceed two hours, and when fighting, the defense will also consume jade. Attack, but also a big consumer of jade.
Therefore, the combat radius of this flying kite ship is limited to five hundred miles. In this way, the combat effectiveness of the flying kite can be guaranteed, and at the same time, it can return to ship after using clean weapons.
Advanced flight formations, and additional lines that can be used to change jade in flight. The Flying Kite Ship does not have this ability at all, and after a mosaic, it must land, wait for the formation to stop, and then reload the jade.
The only advantage is the cost. The resources to make a small Thunderbird ship are enough to make hundreds of flying kite ships. And a small Thunderbird ship will definitely not be able to defeat hundreds of flying kite ships.
The reason why all of them are not equipped with this kind of thing to replace the small Thunderbird ship is because of the speed, if the other party does not fight you and wants to get out of the battlefield, the flying kite ship has no choice.
A high-speed battleship must be held back to the enemy before the Kite can pounce on it and attack. Of course, the deterrent effect of the flying kite ship on surface ships is still very large. The speed is also much higher than that of a warship on the surface.
On the battleship of Dongqin, the soldiers are in four shifts, because they are all driven by immortal and Taoist formations, and the actual control does not require a few people at all, such as the Flying Snake Ship is special, and the personnel are not easy to fix, the Qinglong Ship can be controlled by more than 100 people, and the sailors who actually control the battleship are only 800 people.
The rest are contact combat units, golems, and puppets.
On the Xuanwu ship and the White Tiger ship, there will be a little more soldiers, once they get in close contact, they also have the ability to enter the enemy ship to attack, but this is all to capture the enemy warship, usually, in the face of the enemy warship, as long as it is sunk, no prisoners are needed.
Thirty-four large fleets are separated by more than two hundred miles, and the distance between the forward and the rear fleets is more than a thousand miles. When the fleet accelerated, this distance increased to more than two thousand miles.
Usually three large fleets echo each other, and if one fleet can't solve the enemy, the other two will pounce to help.
Six days after departure, the combined fleet ran into the first enemy. It was a retreating fleet of the Demon Gate, disconnected from the main force, the number of this fleet, there were eighty warships, and the number of large warships reached as many as twenty, there were no small warships, and the rest were all medium-sized models.
The retreating fleet was in a tight formation, and there were many flying units in the sky. When the Shenmu ship is close to two hundred miles underwater, it will not be able to get close, and if it moves forward, the enemy will find out. This distance is twice as long as the normal cordon, and the demon gate is still very careful.
Tang Duo took the initiative to ask Ying, he wanted to use this fleet to practice his hands, anyway, it would not be any surprise to use a large fleet to bully.
Tang Duo did not take action in person, and sent two hundred large and small warships to approach quickly. There were no immortals on the battleship, so when approaching the distance of two hundred miles, the other party still did not find the Tang family's fleet.
This is already the limit, the immortal of the Tang family, at this time only teleported to the battleship, at the same time of teleportation, the enemy discovered the abnormality, and immediately hundreds of flying units pounced, and the formation of the fleet was also reversed, and at the same time, the defensive formation was opened.
The Demon Gate Fleet, it's just that the battleships are not strong enough, the level of the soldiers is not high enough, and the combat experience seems to be extremely rich. In a matter of moments, sixty battleships were in formation, and the middle three battleships were ready to attack, their wings open, not for defense, but for a fierce counterattack.
It's just that the difference in numbers between the two sides is too big, and Tang Duo's fleet has five Qinglong ships, twenty White Tiger ships, and two Golden Crow ships. The flagship is the Tiandan ship produced by the Tang family. And the five Flying Snake Ships gathered in the rear and combined into a large Flying Snake Ship, and the brilliance emitted by the formation at the core enveloped the entire fleet.
The Snake Ship is not very good at attacking, but it can increase the defense of the overall fleet.
The magic dye cannon alone is no longer able to break through the defensive circle arranged by the Flying Serpent Ship.
The fleet of the Demon Gate suddenly bloomed, and the battleships of the entire fleet were shrouded in blue light and shook dozens of times. However, there were dragon snake ships and sea loaches attacking underwater, and they were blocked by the Demon Gate fleet.
"It's quite resistant!" The Tang family general in charge of the attack looked at the brilliance of the opponent's formation, and didn't mind, the attack of the dragon snake ship and the sea loach made the opponent's magic dye cannon dumb fire, and stimulated the formation of the demon dye cannon to regather energy.
This is the weakness of the Demon Dye Cannon calculated by Dong Qin, and when it is attacked, the formation of the Demon Dye Cannon will not be very stable. You can only dissipate the energy and start over.
Of course, the attack must be fierce enough, such as Fang Cai, the underwater attack, so that the Demon Gate battleship has no choice but to launch a defensive formation. Outside the battleship formation, the waves stirred up nearly ten zhang high and dispersed in all directions. Therefore, the generals of the Tang family sighed that the other party resisted the beating, and the puppet bomb released by the sea loach was a formation driven by a piece of jade, and in the case of self-destruction, the metal fragments were excited out at the fastest speed to form a metal flow.
Under the immortal weapon, there is no known metal that can resist the attack of this explosion, and the other party uses a formation defense to resist it. If you have pure metal armor, even if you cover three layers on the bottom of the ship, it will be penetrated.
The attack of the dragon snake ship is even more range-covering, although there is only one attack ability in the short term, the six dragon and snake ships release attacks in turn, and the effect is also very terrifying.
All of them let the enemy unload the attacking force, and this attack is a bit of a mistake.
The generals of the Tang family continued to give orders, and five green dragon ships and twenty white tiger ships simply fired a salvo. The two golden crows flickered one by one, and came to the top of the opposing fleet, and tens of thousands of fires pressed downward. The enemy's formation finally appeared a little chaotic, and a mixed element Aurora thunder cannon directly hit the middle of a capital battleship, almost breaking the battleship in two.
The generals of the Tang family scratched their heads, if all the attacks under the sea were not released, another round, and the expansion of the results would be quite easy. It's still not suitable for such a battle!
Tang Duozhi frowned, this is a crushing style of play, a waste of Yan zhòng. Now the combined fleets of the two are not in a hurry at all, because the goal is only to approach Wusheng Island, not to land, and no matter how fast it is, there is no point in fighting.
"Fourteen hundred miles away, there is a fleet, much stronger than this. Su Jing reminded Tang Duo. (To be continued......)
