Chapter 891 Kill from the rear
In the east of the sea, the Shang Dynasty aircraft carrier rolled forward. There was only a faint light on the huge aircraft carrier.
In the sky, the planes were dancing and searching. There was no such good luck here, and so far, nothing was discovered.
However, Gao Shirong on the aircraft carrier was not in a hurry, at least he was not very anxious as he showed it on the surface.
In fact, the reason is very simple, because it only takes 9,000 kilometers to run, and at the current speed of the aircraft carrier, it takes almost a day; and if the Bian fleet detours so far, it will probably take longer.
In other words, if Gao Shirong's calculations are correct, the aircraft carrier may encounter Bian's fleet tomorrow night. Of course, the premise is that the estimate is correct and the deviation should not be too large.
However, Gao Shirong did not make a desperate bet, and he left more than a dozen patrol ships along the way. Once the enemy fleet was discovered, these patrol ships up to 450 kilometers should be able to escape. Moreover, there are aircraft to cooperate with the patrol ships.
…………
Offshore, Jing Xiaowei finally saw the first fleet of Bian State in the direction of the ripple, a very small fleet. There were only six ships, and based on the outline, it could be roughly judged: a ten thousand tons and five five thousand tons warships.
The direction of the Bian fleet was not to go directly north, but to the northeast.
"So sinister. If the plane hadn't blocked the starlight, you might have escaped!" Jing Xiaowei sighed a little. He sighed at the enemy's cunning, but even more sighed at his luck and the enemy's unlucky!
People are in trouble and can’t help but drink cold water to get stuck between their teeth.
But there are only six warships here, where are the rest?
In the sky, Jing Xiaowei notified others about the discovery and investigated carefully. He did not dare to get too close. Jing Xiaowei controlled his plane and circled fifty kilometers away.
Through the water ripple wave reconnaissance, the reconnaissance system on the plane, or directly watch with the naked eye. Finally, Jing Xiaowei discovered the second fleet 30 kilometers away. The fleet deviated slightly to the west.
Searching in the direction, Jing Xiaowei found the third, fourth, fifth, and twenty! He also found a flagship worth 30,000 tons.
A total of twenty small fleets advanced forward in the shape of bowls. This was like a big net.
"So sinister!" Jing Xiaowei sighed again when he saw this formation. But then Jing Xiaowei smiled again - once the hidden enemy was discovered, the danger would be lost. Now the danger is Bian Guo!
But are these fleets too few? There are only 121 warships. The Shang Dynasty intelligence system shows that Bian State should have at least 200 warships - not including whether there are hidden ones!
While passing on information, Jing Xiaowei waited for more planes around to come and explored everywhere. All the planes were careful and did not dare to get too close.
But apart from this fleet, no more ships were found.
When the Shang Dynasty naval general received the news, he was overjoyed - he was indeed noticed by General Gao Shirong, and Bian State was indeed divided into troops, and a fleet went further east. Not finding more fleets was essentially a greater discovery.
The news was immediately passed to Gao Shirong in the distance. After receiving the news, Gao Shirong also smiled and immediately directed the fleet to continue moving forward.
Let’s not talk about Gao Shirong’s side. Let’s talk about Ma Jianliang’s side first, five fleets began to gather.
On the computer screen, Ma Jianliang was telling his plan: "According to aircraft reconnaissance, the speed of Bian Guo's warship is about 350 kilometers. Bian Guo really spared no expense to transform the fleet.
But this speed is still relatively slow and cannot keep up with our speed.
Since we have the advantage of speed and have discovered the enemy's fleet, I think the best way is to follow from behind, bite the enemy's tail, and chase and fight hard!"
Chasing from the rear can form a "chasing effect", so that the enemy cannot escape being locked and completely wiped out; at the same time, chasing from the rear can also make the enemy's attack somewhat inconvenient.
Everyone discussed for a moment and made a decision. The most difficult thing on the sea is to discover the enemy. But once the enemy is discovered, the next step is the simplest - to compete on the fist!
Three fleets in the Shang Dynasty began to turn east, and the strength of the three fleets was enough, and a "surround three missing one" happened to come. The other two fleets continued to explore around to find out if there were any fish that had missed the net.
The Shang Dynasty fleet suddenly changed direction, and the audience on the sea in the ocean immediately widened their eyes.
"There is a situation!" Ao Han waved his tail and swam happily in the sea. "Xiaoling, let's follow and take a look. I saw the naval battle between Jin and Liu two years ago, but I felt a little unsatisfied. Now it's the naval battle between Shang Dynasty and Bian State, which must be very exciting!"
"Yeah!" Bai Xiaoling nodded fiercely, and then the two little guys swam forward excitedly; behind them, a group of dolphins were playing happily... I wonder if I could get happy later.
A little further away, Prince Long and Second Prince Ao Zhen Ao Guang, as well as many sea tribes, also slowly followed.
On the sea, some merchant ships, etc. were also following the fleet, preparing to see what kind of naval battles would break out ahead.
Time passed little by little, and the fleet turned around in the vast sea, leaving white waves behind. The audience maintained the demeanor of "a true gentleman who watched chess without saying a word", or everyone wanted to see what a real naval battle would be like.
Gradually, it was dawn! The fish belly began to appear in the east. But the sky was bright, and the sea was still a little dark at this time. Even the flashing light made the sight a little blocked for a while.
At this time, the three fleets of the Shang Dynasty had completed the big turn, and the direction of the fleet's advance changed from the previous south to the northeast.
The sky gradually became brighter, and red clouds began to appear in the east, and the Bian fleet was still moving northeast.
The expected collision did not happen, Cheng Yunbo felt a little uneasy, but he still felt a little glad of gratitude - could he just cross the Shang Dynasty fleet in a confused manner?
Yes, it would be normal if the sea is so vast!
Thinking of this, Cheng Yunbo immediately ordered the fleet to change direction and head northwest. This time, Cheng Yunbo was preparing to rush to the coast of Shang Dynasty and bombard the Shang Dynasty's port at any cost!
The fleet slowly turned its direction, and suddenly, a little silver reflection flashed from the corner of Cheng Yunbo's eyes. It was the light reflected from the sunlight to the sky, the silver-gray light. It was not very strong, and it seemed to be a little far away, but Cheng Yunbo did not let it go.
His heart thumped, his eyes narrowed, and Cheng Yunbo looked carefully in the distance. He even took out his telescope to observe.
After a long time, Cheng Yunbo's pupils suddenly shrank. In the distant sky, there were three silver-gray planes flying quietly, obviously following his own side! If it weren't for the sun's reflection just now, he might not have been able to detect the other party at all.
At least fifty kilometers away, it is hidden behind clouds and fog; if it weren't for a coincidence, it would never be discovered!
But after seeing this situation, Cheng Yunbo did not panic, but instead made a calm analysis.
First of all, we can be sure that we have been discovered by the Shang Dynasty fleet, but the Shang Dynasty fleet should not have been followed!
Secondly, through the plane position observation, the Shang Dynasty's fleet is likely to be... behind him!
Cheng Yunbo was an excellent general. He had been an army general and was one of the four generals of Jin State. Later, he turned to the navy and studied it carefully. Therefore, he judged the form of both sides at the first time.
Cheng Yunbo handed over Qiao Pengfei, and the two began to discuss. "Old Qiao, this is the situation now. The enemy discovered us and was already following us. The speed of the Shang Dynasty fleet should be higher than that of us. Therefore, once we are caught up by the enemy, we will only sink to the sea forever!
Now, we have another advantage: the Shang Dynasty may not know yet, and we have discovered them! This is our only advantage."
After hearing this, Qiao Pengfei immediately frowned and thought. After a while, Qiao Pengfei finally had a suggestion: "I think this only advantage is not particularly useful.
After all, this advantage is difficult to achieve a decisive victory for us.
Since that's the case, it's better to give up this advantage. Let's change the direction now, go south directly, and take the initiative to choose the decisive battle!"
After a little pause, Qiao Pengfei said again: "Sometimes, if you pay too much attention to your advantages, you will lose your courage. If you pay too much attention to your strategy, you will ignore your bloodline!
If we abandon an irrelevant advantage, we can charge with all our confidence, determination and courage. I think this is worth considering."
Cheng Yunbo closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally breathed out a breath of turbid air: "Old Qiao, you are right! We need to make the strongest counterattack in this matter."
Immediately, Cheng Yunbo ordered the fleet to immediately turn the direction and accelerate the assault backwards!
Direction, aim directly at the opposite direction of the three aircraft.
Not only did they turn the direction, but in this process, the 121 warships of Bian Kingdom also began to be rearranged. The flagships were in front and 120 warships in the rear, staggered at a certain distance in sequence, forming a formation similar to the one-character long snake formation. However, it was not a complete one-character long snake formation.
The direction of the fleet is to the west in the south; the direction of the fleet is arranged from the southwest to the northeast. It looks like a forward saw blade, and each warship is a sawtooth.
The cannon was raised and the shells were ready; all the soldiers, with almost bloodshot eyes, stood behind the cannon, as if they could enter a complete war at any time.
Also, next to the guardian formation of warships, there are soldiers ready at any time and can turn on protection at any time.
There are even experts who are already standing at the bow of the ship and can take off in the air at any time.
Of course, there is no less aircraft. Although the quality of Bian's aircraft is poor, it is also an aircraft. And at this time, Bian's aircraft were more numerous.
The changes in Bian's formation were immediately detected by the planes in the sky.
After Ma Jianliang heard the news, he immediately made the corresponding arrangement. The three fleets formed three formations 10 kilometers away from each other, forming a real one-line snake formation to advance.
However, this so-called one-line snake formation is not without consideration, but aims at the bow of the Bian Army with the side of the warship - that is, the so-called seizing the T-shaped position (the horizontal side of the ship vs. the vertical bow). Because in artillery battles, there are more artillery on the side of the ship and the output of firepower is stronger, which is an advantage.
The two fleets advanced rapidly, and their relative speed was even faster than the limit.
Shortly after the two sides adjusted their postures, the telescope could see each other's fleet.
The waves were rolling on the sea, and the two fleets came towards each other in an unyielding manner. The tense atmosphere attracted countless eyes. All the audience was watching...
On the Bian Guo side, Cheng Yunbo pinched his fingers to calculate the distance and suddenly shouted: "Now there are 50 kilometers apart. Everyone is ready. Once it is close to 40 kilometers, it will start firing immediately. Now adjust the coordinates."
At the same time, in the Shang Dynasty, Ma Jianliang was also estimating: "50 kilometers, our artillery can hit this distance, but it will be too far without accuracy. Wait, wait until 40 kilometers to open fire."
50 kilometers will be closer to 40 kilometers, and each side only needs to travel 5 kilometers. According to the current speed, it only takes seven or eight minutes.
Finally, the two fleets opened fire almost at the same time!
The flames began to roar and the thunder began to roll. The warship began to shake slightly in the roar of the cannons. The sea water around the warship also began to splash because of the cannons.
In the sky, dark red lines continued to extend, which were red and hot shells.
There were only 3 battleships, 6 frigates, 18 patrol ships, and a total of 27 warships. Among them, the patrol ships were 2,000 tons. In this way, the three fleets were still advancing respectively, with a distance of 10 kilometers between the fleets.
There are 121 warships on the Bian State side. Although there is only one battleship of 30,000 tons, there are 20 frigates and 120 destroyers of 5,000 tons.
When they saw the huge gap in the number of fleets between the two sides, the soldiers of Bian State were immediately excited, screaming one by one, and frantically stuffing shells into the artillery. At the same time, each warship began to form attack units and aimed at their respective targets.
After more than ten seconds, the shells began to fall, and a large number of shells fell into the sea. The explosion sounded like a piece, and splashes of water soared into the sky, and a large number of marine creatures that broke into the vicinity died in the explosion.
However, no one has paid attention to these. What everyone is paying attention to is the peak showdown between the two fleets.
The three fleets of the Shang Dynasty were small in number, but they were like three sharp knives. The surface of the fleet had already risen with a powerful defensive barrier. Only a few shells in Bian State could hit the target, but they could not break the defense.
On the contrary, there were many warships in Bian State, but in just two minutes of fighting, an armor-piercing bomb broke through the defense. In an explosion, a 5,000-ton destroyer broke into the waist and the ship sank into the sea. A large number of soldiers with insufficient cultivation were swept into the sea by the rolling sea water; only a few of them above the foundation-building stage were able to escape.
The two sides began to get closer, but they also formed a strategic formation that was staggered.
There were few warships in the Shang Dynasty, but the shooting rate of artillery was extremely high! With the assistance of computers, it had a hit rate of almost 30%; and 50% of shells exploded around the Bian State warship. From now on, almost every ten seconds, less than a minute, Bian State would be injured.
On the contrary, the Bian fleet had a very low hit rate, less than one per cent. However, the Bian State had many warships, and there were still endless shells falling.
The fleets of both sides approached crazily and launched crazily. The sound of the explosion suppressed the sea breeze, and the sea water fluctuated in the explosion, and the sea seemed to be boiling. Such a fierce military war made many masters in the God Transformation Stage look solemn.
