Chapter 79 Naval Warfare and the Art of Command (subscription required for the sixth update)

This ranking is normal, probably because Yi Cangsheng in the team doesn't have many lifespans, and Ye Qing just joined the guild not long ago, and his strength is below the guild's average level in their evaluation, so they arranged to guard the house.

Ye Qing has no objection, it's better to stay here on the Datang, it's too risky to go outside, if you're unlucky in a melee, you'll die if you're surrounded by a round of concentrated fire, at least you have a hull to hide from on board, the risk is much smaller .

At this time, the negotiation failed and the conversation collapsed, and those people pulled away and left. Following Tang Zhengdong's order, the players on the deck began to boil, and flew into the air one by one in formation. The teams were on the left and right sides of the battleship, and everyone else stayed on the deck of the ship. All the magic weapons of flying swords were sacrificed, and they were shining brightly.

Although the opposite battleship is smaller than the Datang, there are quite a lot of people, and the total number of people is estimated to be over a thousand, leaving a part to control the battleship. Players who are seven or eight times more than the Datang Guild fly from the battleship and rush forward. come over.

The distance between the two sides was more than 100 zhang and they stopped. A series of magic spells came from the opposite side, the light of the magic weapon shot up, and the light of the sword shot up into the sky.

Different from a formal guild like Datang, the members of this obvious informal organization on the opposite side are of mixed strength, the average strength is far worse than that of Datang, it is almost the type that is accepted by anyone, and the members are not inferior to the elite members of Datang , weaker than Ye Qing, the most important thing is that there is no official guild command channel, the battle command is all based on roar, it looks messy.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the aura of defensive magic weapons rose from Datang's side. Under the command of the leaders of their respective teams, various spells began to be cast and blasted out. smooth.

Qingzhu waved the big blue banner, and more than 30 ice arrows blasted towards him with one wave. This attack method did not consume a lot of mana, and he could use it more than [-] times in a row.

Tang Zhengdong didn't make a move. He looked at the leader on the opposite flagship with his hands behind his back. His calm look made the two brothers feel a little uneasy. The young man couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice:
"Brother, something is wrong. These people seem to be very powerful."

The middle-aged man also realized this, frowned and said:

"It's a little powerful."

But he immediately lifted his spirits and said coldly:

"So what, we have a large number of people and ships, and ordered the fleet to press up and surround their warships, first destroy the disabled battleships, and then log in and take the battleships."

The young man nodded immediately, turned around and shouted:
"Order the fleet to attack the opponent's warships across the board."

As soon as the voice fell, several players flew to both sides of the ship and shouted at the fleet behind:

"The president has an order to press the attack across the board."

Soon there were a total of [-] large and small warships on the bow deck, and there was a player holding a big flag in his hand. He was waving the big flag vigorously to express his understanding. This is a semaphore. Commands are carried out by semaphore, and there are special flag-waving methods for attack, defense, and retreat.

This method is very backward, but informal guilds do not have guild channels, so they can only rely on this method to communicate.

This kind of semaphore still has special teaching in reality. There are many guilds in the other side, but there are more small organizations like this that are not official guilds, which gave birth to this subject, which can be regarded as a skill. Have a meal in the other side.

Watching the battleships rushing towards them line by line, the Datang also started to move. Tang Zhengdong is not around, and the guild is usually commanded by his sister Tang Xiaoying. I heard that her commanding ability is very powerful. Ye Qing heard that when chatting with Saber A long time ago, the actions of the guild were all directed by her. At that time, the guild had not yet been destroyed, and the activities of tens of thousands of official members and peripheral members were all directed by her.

She is standing on the fourth floor of the ship building, where there is a platform protruding forward, which is the battleship command platform. She stands on it, puts her hands on the wooden guardrail, and orders loudly:
"The battleship is traveling sideways at an even speed, extending the distance, and the Vulcan Lianbow is ready to activate."

Datang immediately adjusted its direction and swam to the other side. One side was aimed at the oncoming Blue Sea Guild fleet. The 48 Vulcan crossbows on one side of the battleship lit up in red. Following her order, 48 strings of red lights Flying out from the ship, it pulled out 48 long red lines and shot at the fleet hundreds of meters away.

The Vulcan Repeating Crossbow is the most powerful battleship weapon besides the Thunder Tower. It has two combat modes, one is single shot and the other is continuous shot. The single shot is divided into normal attack and rocket attack.

The normal attack is to shoot ordinary steel crossbow bolts, which are the kind of thick-armed crossbow bolts used to deal with Jiaolong before, and the rocket mode is to activate the magic circle branded on the Vulcan crossbow, and forcefully inject the flame energy into the crossbow bolts before shooting out. After hitting the target, the steel crossbow will explode, causing powerful area damage.

As for the burst mode, it fires ten Vulcan crossbows in one breath. The power in an instant is extremely amazing, but the consumption is also large. This mode is only suitable for dealing with huge warships, not suitable for dealing with small and flexible players. .

After all, the fired crossbow bolts are genuine steel crossbow bolts. This is not a game. The steel crossbow bolts with arms thicker than human beings have limited storage and cannot be used unlimitedly.

The 48 Vulcan crossbows are 480 continuous crossbows in one breath, and the target is a third-tier warship. Under all-round coverage, the total length of the warship is only ten feet, and it was hit by ten in just one round. Four series of crossbows, fiery red crossbow bolts exploded into a ball of flames with a radius of three feet, a total of 140 crossbow bolts exploded at the same time, 140 balls of mixed and broken iron filings flames directly blasted this third-tier warship to pieces, countless fragments were scattered Flying, the entire battleship turned into a ball of flames and floated on the water.

None of the dozens of members of the Hailan guild above could escape, and even the boat was blown to death.

This is the gap between the most powerful Tier [-] ship and Tier [-] warship. With all the fire, as long as the number of hits is enough, it can be killed in one round.

In today's naval battles, the third-tier warships are the most basic types of ships. The lower Hengjiang platoon ships cannot go to sea at all, and can only sail in small inland rivers.The warship has a durability of 20, a speed of 250, and a length of ten feet. It can carry 100 people. It can be equipped with eight Vulcan crossbows, four on each side.

Just because it can be equipped with the Vulcan Lianbow, the warship is qualified to be a conventional warship in naval warfare. Although it is only the lowest level, if there are enough numbers, its combat effectiveness is still considerable.

It's a pity that the fleet in front of us doesn't have many cannon fodder warships, only eight, and one of them was destroyed in the first day of the battle.

"The warship moves in a horizontal arc and turns around. The other side of the Vulcan Repeater is ready to activate. The Vulcan Repeater has been fired and is ready to cool down!"

Tang Xiaoying's orderly order was clearly conveyed to everyone on board through the guild channel, and Datang also followed her order to move in a horizontal arc, ready to change sides.

The cooling time of a single shot of the Vulcan Liannuo is about 15 seconds, while the cooling time of a continuous shot takes 120 seconds, which is a full 2 ​​minutes. At this time, the speed of the Datang can already be reversed.

The maximum moving speed of a battleship is different from the normal moving speed, especially during battles when you have to stop and fire the crossbow from time to time, the speed is far lower than the maximum moving speed, but no matter how low the speed is, it won’t It is slower than the car in Ye Qing's previous life, the battleship can definitely turn around within 1 minute.

During this time, they also entered the attack range of the opponent's Vulcan Crossbow, and there was a burst of "grabbing" sound, and 75 lines of fire drew a clear arc in the air and fell down.

At this moment, just as the other party fired the Vulcan Crossbow, Tang Xiaoying's order sounded:
"The battleship stops and retreats!"

The Datang was shaken violently and stopped forcibly, a recoil force caused everyone on board to rush forward involuntarily, Ye Qing stretched out his hand to press the wooden boards on the side of the ship to stabilize himself, and saw 75 lines of fire passing right in front of the battleship It fell into the sea without even a bubble coming out.

The Vulcan Liannu didn't have a locking function, and the launch was all based on prediction. Tang Xiaoying was using the opponent's prediction to forcibly stop the ship. The warship did not enter the opponent's prediction area, and the Liannu fell according to the prediction, and none of them hit.

This is the difference between an excellent commander and an ordinary commander. Ye Qing raised his head to look at the podium, and saw that she was staring forward with her beautiful eyebrows, discussing in a low voice with the staff at the side, and continuously issuing orders, and the Datang followed suit. Keep moving forward, retreating, hitting horizontally, and firing continuous crossbows.

The battleships on the opposite side also gradually decreased, and two warships were sunk again in less than 5 minutes.

This is her intentional targeting of warships. Although the absolute speed of this third-tier warship is not as good as that of a tall ship, not to mention its size and firepower, but because of its small size and flexibility, it is not a small threat. Destroy all warships first, and the rest One building ship and four treasure ships are easy to deal with.

Three battleships were destroyed in succession, and the Datang was also hit once. A total of eleven waves of crossbows fell, and eleven large holes were blown out on the deck of the battleship. It is the trace formed after the arm's thick and fine steel crossbow arrows exploded. Fortunately, the Datang is a five-story ship with a durability of 500 million. It's not even a broken bone for a boat.

And the craftsmen on the ship were not idle, they moved a large amount of materials from the cabin and began to repair the deck.

They first repaired the big pit, and then cut the material wooden boards into the same style and size as the big pit, and then embedded them. Through the skills of craftsmen, they extended the rune lines in the deck to rebuild a whole, and the repairs were completed. The edge of the big pit is obvious, but it will not affect the defense.
