Chapter 670: Prologue
When Zhang Hao is in pain and happy, the outside world is only painful.
In the shadow of war, no one can sleep soundly. Especially the warring parties, the strategic alliance and the anti-aggression alliance.
As the plan came to light, the strategic alliance began to be arranged at an accelerated pace. All the preparatory actions were suddenly accelerated, even advanced.
That same night, the fleet of the country of Shaoze, without being fully prepared, left the port and disappeared.
The entire anti-aggression alliance was in turmoil for a while. In particular, the nearest fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect also began to leave the port for patrol.
The Xuanzhen Sect had just seized the port of the Canglan Country, Qianlong Port, and at this time, there were still many explosions and damage in Qianlong Port that had not been repaired. The condition of the port was very bad, and in just three or two days, the Xuanzhen Sect was unable to restore the situation here at all, and even the basic personnel could not be gathered.
Wait until dawn...... Mingjiao's Zhuzhou port was attacked by a sneak attack! It was the Sea Dragon Fleet of the Carefree Sect that was attacked!
What was attacked was not the current port and Qianlong Port of the Xuanzhen Sect, but the port of the Ming Sect in the north and the port of Zhuzhou!
Zhuzhou Port is the largest port of Mingjiao and the second port in the north of Taotu Continent, second only to the North Port of Xuanming Sect.
However, the Beihai Port has colonial attributes, and it is mostly commercial, while the Zhuzhou Port is completely Mingjiao and built in accordance with militarized standards.
It can be said that Zhuzhou Port is the first military port in the north of the Taotu Continent, and in the entire Taotu Continent, it is second only to the Jinsha Port in the west of the Tiandu faction - this is the first time that the Ocean Group traded with the Taotu Continent.
Even counting the Fertile Soil Continent, West Kunlun, etc., Zhuzhou Port is also one of the top ten ports.
However, at this dawn, the fleet of the Loose Sect suddenly appeared here and attacked the port of Zhuzhou.
As for the fleet of the country of Shaoze, which everyone is concerned about, it did not appear until the outbreak of the war. In the vast sea, no one knows where this fleet has gone!
Zhang Haotian got up before dawn, came to the office, looked at the map on the wall, and asked with a solemn face: "How about the loss of Zhuzhou Port?"
The new secretary made a serious report: "According to the telegram, the port has a defensive barrier and excellent guard facilities, and the damage is not serious.
But because of the sudden attack, he rushed to the battle, but he fell into passivity.
The fleet, 300 ships of the Loose Faction, including steel warships and black iron warships, bombarded the port for a full hour, illuminating the sky with artillery fire and poisoning all around the port.
The port itself is not in serious trouble because of the enchantment, but the surrounding area of the port is already in ruins. A large number of supporting facilities, even port factories, warehouses, workers, etc., have been reduced to nothing. ”
Zhang Hao's face was heavy, and his eyes were shining. Sometimes, you really can't blame your teammates for being stupid, and sometimes it's really the enemy who is too shrewd.
The country of Shaoze dispatched a fleet, which attracted the attention of all parties, but he did not expect that the fleet of the Xiaoyao faction was the main force, and directly attacked the port of Mingjiao.
Now it seems that the strategy provided by the Ocean Group to the anti-aggression coalition has been aborted before it has even begun!
It is conceivable that if the anti-aggression coalition fails to respond appropriately, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Zhang Hao thought for a moment and felt that there were no rescue measures. But...... After thinking about it, Zhang Hao sighed again, it's okay to help once, and it won't be in line with the current status of Dayang Group to make another move.
Shoot once, it's friendship. Shot twice...... It's ill-intentioned! And it will also be vigilant on both sides!
And Zhang Hao believes that the anti-aggression alliance will not be too fragile, after all, on the bright side now, there are seven holy places: Xuanzhen Sect, Xianyin Sect, Tiandu Sect, Ming Sect, Xuanming Sect, Da Luo Zong, and Jiu Hemen Sect. Tens of thousands of years of accumulation have made them resilient enough!
"Just watch quietly. Look at how others fight!" Zhang Hao finally made a decision, and collected intelligence through telegrams, informing the spies of the Ocean Group. At the same time, Zhang Hao also ordered that the 'charity fleet' of Dayang Group set off to save people at sea.
Saving people is by the way, and the main thing is to let the admirals of the Ocean Group and others observe the war at close range.
Soon, the 'charity fleet' of Dayang Group and the country of Qixia set off with great fanfare under the banner of huge charity, loaded with relief materials, medical supplies, and a large number of medical personnel.
At the beginning of sunrise and when the sky began to brighten, the fleet set off from Black Scale Island, and after leaving Black Scale Island, it was divided into two, one went to Zhuzhou Port, and the other team went to Qianlong Port:
Just after dawn, the 'Jinghai Fleet' of the Shaoze Country finally appeared, and the 'Weihai Fleet' of the Xuanzhen Sect was lucky to meet each other on the sea, and a decisive battle broke out between the two sides at the beginning. The total number of fleets on both sides, including warships, etc., exceeds 3,000, and the sea is covered with might!
At this time, the Jinghai Fleet of the country of Shaoze had 85 steel warships, of which 21 were excellent warships purchased from the Ocean Group, and the rest were built by themselves. In addition, there are more than 200 Xuantie warships and more than 1,500 skin warships.
On the Xuanzhen Sect's side, there are only 72 steel warships of all sizes, and there are no Xuanzhen warships. The Xuanzhen Sect does not have a direct industrial base, and all the steel warships are purchased from the Dayang Group, or even purchased with loans.
In addition, there are more than 2,000 skinned warships of the Xuanzhen Sect. In fact, these so-called Pompy warships were all improved from merchant ships.
Compared with real steel warships, the maneuverability of skinned warships is greatly reduced, and these warships are more 'chaos' and cause chaos to the enemy.
After a few years of development, the Skinned Warship was actually quite impressive, with a keel made of low-grade blackiron and could withstand the recoil of a twin 460mm cannon. As a result, the Skinned Warship has been built into a mobile battery at sea.
The role of these warships is to provide fire support when the battleship is fighting, or when attacking the port.
And today, at dawn, the port of the Ming Sect enjoyed such an attack.
The Xiaoyao faction used more than 2,000 skinned warships to bombard Zhuzhou Port continuously for more than an hour, and each warship frantically poured 300,000 large cannonballs at a rate of two shells per minute. Together with the battleships, the total number is more than 350,000!
What is the concept of pouring 350,000 artillery shells in one hour? Even if all of them are calculated according to 300 mm shells, and the charge of each shell is calculated according to 200 kilograms, it is still a full 70,000 tons of explosives!
These explosives are all gold explosives purchased from the Dayang Group - these gold explosives are actually spiritual TNT, and the power is five or six times that of normal circumstances.
In other words, the port of Zhuzhou is equivalent to being attacked by a medium-sized nuclear warhead!
Although the Transformation Stage is very powerful, a large amount of explosives have gathered, and the power is far greater than the total number of attacks in the Transformation Stage, not to mention ...... The transformation period is not idle!
Except for the port and warships protected by the enchantment, the entire Zhuzhou Port has long been turned into ruins.
At this time, the country of Shaoze also wanted to take a look at the Xuanzhen Sect. I didn't want to, but I was stopped by the Xuanzhen Sect at sea!
"Hell!" Xiao Yunlong, the commander of the Shaoze Country and the Jinghai Fleet, put down the binoculars and patted the railing with some annoyance, "It's a failure!"
However, it was said that Xiao Yunlong led the fleet of the country of Shaoze and set off in the early hours of the morning. But at first, he didn't attack immediately, but set up a bureau with the Loose faction.
According to the analysis of Xiao Yunlong and the think tank of Shaoze Country, when the news of the attack on the Ming Sect came out, the Xuanzhen Sect would inevitably respond, such as shrinking to defend or going south to support.
At this time, the fleet of the country of Shaoze only needs to open the stealth enchantment or phantom array and quietly stop in the sea. The vast sea is so vast, as long as you make good use of the formation, and do not take the initiative to sail and cause tracks, the enemy wants to find himself, almost looking for a needle in a haystack.
After the situation of the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet is determined, the fleet of the Shaoze Country will suddenly appear here in Qianlong Harbor and blow up Qianlong Harbor.
And the location where the fleet of Shaoze no Country docked was only 800 kilometers southeast of Qianlong Port. There is a saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place!
In fact, things also developed according to the plan of the country of Shaoze, and the fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect was ready to go south to support after hesitating.
However, no one expected that as soon as the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet left the port, the fleet suddenly turned back to the east!
Xiao Yunlong didn't know what was going on, but he knew...... According to the calculation of the direction of the Xuanzhen Sect's fleet, everyone will collide together!
"Is it a good thing done by Dayang Group?" Xiao Yunlong naturally remembered Dayang Group. But soon he shook his head. The decision to dock the fleet here was made only by him at sea, and he did not allow telegraphs and other messages to be sent on the sea, which means that it is impossible for the outside world to know.
That can only be ...... Unexpected!
In short, after determining the direction of the opponent's advance, Xiao Yunlong immediately made a decision, revoked the stealth formation, and the fleet immediately accelerated.
As the commander of the navy, Xiao Yunlong knew very well that a considerable part of the strength of a warship came from movement and speed; if he thought that he would rely on stealth and wait for the rabbit in place, it would be very wrong. That will make you lose your speed advantage in the decisive battle, and make the battleship a live target.
............
When Xiao Yunlong's side made a decision, the Shenshen Stage scouts sent by Lu Xuanyu, the commander of the Xuanzhen Sect and the Weihai fleet, also discovered the other party. At this time, the distance between the two sides is less than 100 miles.
After Lu Xuanyu confirmed the situation, on the one hand, he reported to the land, on the other hand, he corrected the formation of the fleet, and finally he was afraid and ecstatic!
But he said that the fleet had just left the port, and Lu Xuanyu had a whim--the port of the country of Shaoze, the defense capability should be weakened at this time, right?
I don't want to encounter the hidden fleet of the country of Shaoze halfway!
In the vast sea, the two fleets happened to meet, which really has to be said to be the providence of the underworld.
It's just that Lu Xuanyu looked up at the eastern sky, at this time, the sun had already exposed a little above the sea level, and it was emitting ten thousand golden lights, while the Weihai fleet was facing the sun—on the contrary, the fleet of the country of Shaoze was facing away from the sun.
Lu Xuanyu immediately decided: You can't attack directly, otherwise the hit rate of the two sides will be several times different!
Lu Xuanyu immediately decided to go south, preparing to seize the position in the south.
And in the sky, the masters of the Transformation Stage on both sides have already begun to fight.
This time, it was not a tentative confrontation, but a real war of extermination, and as soon as the two sides came into contact, an extreme war broke out. The supernatural powers of both sides shot directly, and in the blink of an eye, blood rained in the sky.
The Transformation Period is powerful, but the Divine Power attack is even more powerful!
Different from the supernatural masters of the Dayang Group, the supernatural masters of the Dayang Group have a 'set' of supernatural powers. Include attack, defense, movement, at least three!
But at the moment, the supernatural powers of both sides are mainly hitting the attack! Everyone lacks the means of defense and dodging (moving).
This leads to a result: I attack, you can't stand it, and if you attack, I can't stand it!
The final result is that everyone stabbed each other to death three or five times and seriously injured more than a dozen of each other!
Then, everyone was frightened of the problem, but everyone was a master of combat experience, and it was obvious that they could not retreat at this moment, otherwise they would die faster. The only thing that can be done is to pay more attention.
Soon, the supernatural masters of the Xuanzhen Sect began to gain the upper hand. The Xuanzhen Sect takes the orthodox, that is, the most complete transformation period and supernatural route, and the heritage, combat staying power, etc., far surpasses that of the country of Shaoze.
The supernatural masters of the country of Shaoze are all the foundation of the golden body realm, and then use the supernatural powers of the same kind of Jindan and other cultivation. Its foundation is far inferior to the magical power of immortal qi cultivation.
The supernatural masters of the Xuanzhen Sect gradually gained the upper hand, but the Great Quantitative Divine Stage (Golden Body Realm) of the Shaoze Country swarmed, ready to use the number to redeem the disadvantage.
During the battle, the fleets of both sides pursued at sea. Xiao Yunlong is not a stupid person, of course, he can't let the other party easily seize the advantageous position, and orders the fleet to sail to the southwest and prepare to intercept.
About 22 minutes later, at 6:30 a.m., the distance between the two fleets was less than 10 kilometers.
At this time, the overall direction of the two fleets was to the south. The Jinghai Fleet of the Shaoze Country was in the east, and the Weihai Fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect was in the west - the Weihai Fleet failed to seize a strong position after all.
Lu Xuanyu looked at the sea level, his brows furrowed deeply, and his state was really bad. At this time, the sun has just jumped out of the sea level, and the sunlight against the sea surface just becomes the best cover for the enemy fleet!
But at this time, the two sides are already so close that they can only fight hard!
Lu Xuanyu immediately decided: "Ready, the right full rudder!"
All the warships and warships began to make sharp turns, and a crazy wave was set off on the sea. Several 30,000-ton, Arctic-Ocean-class warships that took the lead set off waves of more than 70 meters.
The battleship struck sharply, the ship's side was aimed at the enemy, and the fleet as a whole began to sail south.
"Order No. 3, fire!" Lu Xuanyu was the first to give the order to attack.
Order No. 3, all naval guns pointed at the opposing skinned warship!
Time is tight in battle, and some fixed orders have been solidified into serial numbers in advance, which will greatly increase the efficiency of command.
Under the unified command of the telegram, more than two thousand warships opened fire at the same time. The flames of the barrels began to gush, and the flames of war began to burn on the sea.
More than 4,000 shells frantically crossed a distance of more than 10 kilometers and rushed to the target.
Nowadays, artillery technology has improved greatly, but the effective attack range of warships is still 10 to 15 kilometers. Farther away, the shells could fly, but the accuracy was already miserable.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Yunlong also gave the order to attack!
A crazy naval battle has officially begun.
(Sorry, Carvin.) By the way, I checked a little information on naval battles. )
