Chapter 755 Naval battle in the storm
"Fight, we must fight!" Looking at Pang Da in front of him, without any supplies, Pang Da fled into the Blackwater Ocean with his fleet unprepared, and his lips parted. These days, their only All the food and water sources came from fishing at sea. When Pang Jun was finally found, there were large-scale non-combat attrition on several [-]-ship warships. These people were either hungry or thirsty.
Facing the anxious faces of his subordinates and the request to return immediately, Pang Jun leaned back in his chair tiredly, but his tone was firm. At this time, Pang Jun already understood that Dingzhou played a good trick to hide the sky and cross the sea, so why would he please Zhou? When the king returned to Dingzhou to ascend the throne, their purpose was to lure themselves, completely emptied the southern coastal areas, and then attacked these southern important towns, smashing and maiming these rich coastal areas.
Dengzhou is the largest military port of the Southern Army Navy, and it is the foundation of itself. The only shipyard in the South that can manufacture large-scale ships is also in Dengzhou. I am afraid that it does not exist anymore. Pang Jun stood up, in the cabin He took a few steps inside, looked at the helpless gazes of his subordinates, and let out a long sigh, it was not his fault.
Up to now, it can be said that the battle on Heishuiyang has been decided, and he has already lost, but it is not a crime of war. This is the complete defeat of the entire upper echelon in the contest with Dingzhou Li Qing on the strategic level.
I have to give it a go. Taking advantage of Deng Peng's navy strength is the weakest now, if I can defeat the Dingzhou navy in one fell swoop and bury them in the Heishuiyang, then the loss of Dengzhou now, and even the whole south The losses along the coast are negligible. Dingzhou does have a strong shipbuilding capability now, but a qualified sailor and a mature admiral cannot be cultivated in a short time. On the contrary, if we withdraw now, it will take time , the opponent's three naval forces are gathered, what will the southern navy use to compete with the opponent?
But doing so would involve a huge risk for him. If he wins, it will be a great achievement, but if he loses, the Southern Navy will have no room to struggle. It will completely lose its black Ocean of water.
Whether it's the last breath, or the risky one, Pang Jun chose the latter without hesitation.
"Generals, the fate of the south depends on you. It is better to fight this battle sooner rather than later. We can't wait until the Dingzhou Navy gathers all the forces before passively fighting. Then we will definitely lose. Now, we take the initiative Attack and completely defeat the main force of the Dingzhou navy, as long as we do this, even if we lose the Dengzhou base, we can run rampant on the Heishuiyang."

Pang Da nodded emphatically, "I agree, Bandit Deng must have thought that we had hurriedly returned to help, but we did the opposite and caught him off guard. Kill him and avenge the victims of Dengzhou avenge."

Pang Jun smiled bitterly. Since Deng Peng cast such a bait, he would never make such a mistake. Maybe at this time, the other party is also looking for him and is about to fight him. The morale is like a rainbow, and it is a good time for a decisive battle with him. But he will not raise this issue, but affirms Pang Da's statement, "Yes, the opponent's defense may be the most lax at this time, even if the opponent We have prepared, but the narrow road is suitable for the brave to win, our strength is still better than the opponent, at least we have [-]% to [-]% certainty in this battle."

Seeing that Pang Jun was so sure, the generals of the Southern Army's navy who were used to only Pang Jun leading the way became excited for a while.
"Hit!" There was a neat roar in the cabin.
"Now, I order!" Pang Jun said solemnly with his hands on the case.
With a snap, there was the sound of military boots clashing in the cabin, and all the generals stood up together, standing in front of Pang Jun.
Both armies want to meet their opponents, so the vast black water ocean is no longer an obstacle. At noon, the two armies discovered each other almost at the same time. At this time, the fleets of the two sides were tens of nautical miles apart, looking at each other It is a group of small black dots on the vast sea.
Adjusting the course and rectifying the formation, the two armies are aggressive and rush towards each other.
Standing on the Qiyuan, Deng Peng stared at the increasingly clear southern fleet, "Pang Jun, here I come!"

When Pang Jun was famous and prosperous on the mainland, Deng Peng was just a little-known general of the navy. It can be said that this veteran is the goal of Deng Peng's struggle, especially when Deng Peng joined Dingzhou and owned a powerful fleet, defeating Pang Jun became his greatest wish All the water battles that Pang Jun participated in or commanded in his life, Deng Peng collected a large amount of such information through the statistical investigation department at that time, studied, summarized, and summarized Pang Jun's combat ideas, combat ideas, and combat tactics every day It has become an indispensable part of Deng Peng's daily life. It can be said that Deng Peng probably knows him better than Pang Jun himself.
Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.
The distance between the two armies was getting closer. As Deng Peng expected, the weather was quite bad, and the dark clouds seemed to be pressing down from the sky. The wind and waves became stronger and stronger, and the waves hit the hull of the ship. There was a bang, and it bounced back, splashing white foam all over the sky. In this kind of weather, the competition is not only the combat skills of the commanders of the two sides, but also the combat will of the soldiers. A major review of the overall level of the navy.
From the battle formations arranged by the two sides, it can be seen that the combat strategies of the two sides are very different.
The navy of the Southern Army used the two huge warships Ningzhou and Dengzhou as front arrows to form a wild antelope formation, which was similar to a capital letter M, except that the two sides on both sides were vertically sloping. This is the formation of Ningzhou and Dengzhou as the vanguard, smashing the opponent in one fell swoop with their huge size and powerful striking ability.
The Dingzhou Navy is obviously different from the opponent. The Dingzhou Navy uses the huge ship Wanliao as a support combat platform. On the several decks of the Qiyuan and Kaitai, there are a lot of densely arranged Long-range strike weapons, and with five thousand warships and three thousand warships as the main combat units, the ten thousand warships provide more fire support.
"General Deng, can we win?" At some point, King Zhou climbed up to the highest deck, stood beside Deng Peng, and asked with some anxiety.
Deng Peng turned his head, looked at King Zhou who was slightly trembling, and said with a smile: "The Dingzhou Army has never lost, not in the past, not now, and even less likely in the future. His Highness King Zhou should go to the cabin to rest. When the fight starts later, it will be very dangerous outside, if you lose a hair, I will win the guy on the other side, and there will be no good fruit to eat when I go back!"

"It's going to rain!" Zhou Wang raised his head to look at the sky, a bolt of lightning tore through the clouds, drew a silver line in the sky, flashed away, followed by a loud thunderbolt in the sky, and the rumbling thunder continued, Deng Peng raised his face and laughed, "Even God is unwilling to be lonely, and has come to join in the fun!"

He suddenly pulled up a small red flag in front of him, and waved it several times in the air. On the high mainmast of the Qiyuan, the signal soldiers who had been staring at Deng Peng quickly repeated Deng Peng's semaphore.
"Prepare for battle!"

King Zhou went down to the cabin with a feeling of uneasiness. At this point, he could only go back to the cabin and silently pray for the ancestors of the Zhou family to bless the Ningzhou Navy to successfully defeat the Southern Army in this battle.
When the first bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky and hit Deng Peng's helmet, there was a loud bang on the surface of the sea and on the ships of both sides. Fire stone cannons, crossbow bolts and other long-range weapons, and in an instant, the sky is covered by stone bullets dense like locusts.
The heavy rain was once out of control, and it became heavier and heavier. The strong wind swept the torrential rain, making people unable to open their eyes. In that respect, it is the first time.
In the gust of wind, thunderbolt, lightning, and huge waves, the ships of the two sides collided with each other.
The first to come into contact with the fast boats of both sides, such as Chima, Xiandeng and other sentry boats, these thousand warships are considered big ships in the inland river, but on the sea, they are like a drop in the ocean, as small as a drop in the ocean. It was so pitiful that under the attack of the waves, even if the sailors tried their best to stabilize the ship, they were unable to do so.
In the first wave of ships from the two sides, a large number of such small ships collided fiercely. The two sides' swords and guns did not meet once, and the ships capsized under the tremendous force of the collision, and the sailors on board turned over and fell into the sea. In such weather, on such a battlefield, the chance of survival is almost zero.
The giant ships Ningzhou and Dengzhou of the Southern Army are used as arrows in Pang Jun's combat mode, so they must maintain a certain speed. It is expected that a large number of trebuchets can be carried on the giant ship, but the weight of the trebuchet itself is huge, and coupled with a large number of stone bombs, the load of the ship will reach an astonishing value. At this point, Pang Jun and Deng Peng took two completely different paths. Contrary to Pang Jun, Deng Peng greatly strengthened the firepower of Qiyuan and Kaitai. Of course, the speed of the Qiyuan will be greatly affected. Therefore, around the Qiyuan, the other frigates surrounding Dingzhou only protect him and minimize his chances of being hit.
The first time the large ships shot each other, the effect was quite different. On the Dingzhou Navy side, the strike forces centered on the two giant ships Qiyuan and Kaitai focused their first strikes on the opponent's Ningzhou Compared with the USS Dengzhou and the USS Dengzhou, the attack by the Southern Army navy seemed to be much more scattered.
On the Ningzhou, stone bullets fell like rain. From time to time, soldiers were hit by stone bullets, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. The smashed deck and smashed trebuchets flew around. It was only the first round of shooting that made Ning Blood and blood were flying across the deck of the USS State.
Pang Jun stood upright on the podium, motionless, even if a stone bomb fell not far from him just now, knocked down one of his guards, and the splashed rain of blood covered his whole body, he would not Move around. The first time he saw the opponent's combat mode, Pang Jun knew that the opponent was not on the same path as himself.
Which is right and which is wrong, the soldiers in today's battle will see the difference.
"Forward!" Pang Jun choked, pulled out his saber, and roared loudly.
Although Ningzhou suffered countless stone bullets, such blows were not enough to affect his combat effectiveness, and Ningzhou accelerated forward.
