Horse on the World

Chapter 862

At the end of the Black Water Ocean, countless black spots suddenly appeared, and the black spots were slowly expanding. Hundreds of warships suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the stern horns sounded as warnings.

Standing on the bridge of the Dingzhou, looking at the fluttering huge flag, Yin Ning smiled and said: "It's finally here, come on, the last battle, from now on, the Southern Army Navy will no longer exist. Order Fleet, prepare for battle, order transport ships, and speed up to leave the battlefield! All merchant ships equipped with long-range attack weapons are located on the periphery to cover other ships."
The signal soldier quickly conveyed Yin Ning's order.
With the signal flag flying, Yin Ning's fleet began to change formation, from the previous escort formation to battle formation, and sailed towards the Pang Army fleet in the distance.
Looking at the approaching Yin Ning Fleet aggressively, Pang Jun had an abnormal smile on his face, and ordered to the adjutant beside him, "Pass my order, after engaging with the enemy, all ships will fight on their own, don't care about the formation, don't worry about it." Scruples need to cover friendly ships, try to get rid of the opponent's warships as much as possible, and directly attack the opponent's transport fleet, sinking one is as good as one."

"Yes, General!"
The two fleets are getting closer and closer. As before, the Dingzhou Navy fleet still uses the Wanliao giant ship as a supporting combat platform, while the Ningzhou Navy uses the Wanliao giant ship as a pioneer to charge forward.

"Ready to fight!" Yin Ning couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.When he was Deng Peng's deputy, Pang Jun was like a mountain that he needed to look up to. Today, the legendary general of the navy will fall in front of him. Yin Ning's eyes lit up and he took a deep breath. In one breath, I forcibly suppressed my excitement, now is not the time to be happy.
Seeing Pang Jun's formation, Yin Ning shook his head slightly. In the last sea battle between Dingning and Ning, a clear conclusion was drawn at the post-war review meeting of the Dingzhou Navy, that is, Dingzhou The battle method determined by the lord personally using the giant ship as a support platform is the correct way to use the fleet with the giant ship as the core, and the opponent uses the giant ship as an arrow, It is obvious that the real role of the Wanliao giant ship cannot be fully utilized, but it has been a long time since that battle, and Pang Jun has not reviewed his experience from that defeat, and it is still the same old way.
"After all, I am old, and I still cling to the past experience." Yin Ning sighed in his heart.

But Yin Ning immediately understood that he was wrong. Pang Jun's fleet made a tactical change that stunned him. They scattered like a flock of frightened birds, and the neat formation instantly became chaotic. Standing on the bridge of the Dingzhou, Yin Ning saw a scene like a goddess scattering flowers. Hundreds of ships drew white waves on the sea. Scattered above the surface of the sea in a radius of tens of miles.

After a short period of astonishment, Yin Ning immediately understood the other party's intentions. The other party was desperate, and the other party was desperate. They wanted to exchange money, put aside the formation, and fight alone. Soldiers' transport ship.

Only Pang Jun's Dengzhou ship with more than a dozen five-thousand-material warships sailed straight to Yinning's fleet with the same course.
There are two paths before Yin Ning, regardless of the transport fleet, concentrate the forces, completely sink Pang Jun's Dengzhou, and let a generation of famous navy generals fall in front of him. Now, this dream can be easily realized. It has to be said that this idea is very tempting.

The second plan is to divide the troops just like Pang Jun. In this way, the battlefield will be completely in chaos. Relying on the number of warships and equipment advantages, he can win, but he has to give up Dingzhou's mature fleet. This method will form a single-handed situation with Pang Jun, which will put him in an unpredictable situation. General Deng Peng once said that even he is familiar with the water situation and the use of warship tactics. Willing to bow down.
Yin Ning was in a dilemma for a while. The fleet might win in the end, but he might fall in the hands of Pang Jun. On the eve of victory, under the premise of overall victory, his failure would be unbearable , It is also unacceptable for Yin Ning.

Yin Ning didn't hesitate for long, glanced at the panicked transport fleet in the distance, and gave the order to divide the troops.

"Come on, Pang Jun, let me experience your water combat skills!" Yin Ning pulled off his helmet and threw it on the bridge.

The Dingzhou directly met the Dengzhou, and Yin Ning decided to fight Pang Jun head-on.
When the distance between the two ships was about a kilometer, countless trebuchets on the ship began to roar, and the sky was full of stone bombs piercing the sky, attacking each other. At such a distance, facing such a huge target of the huge ship, stone The chances of the bullet missing are extremely small.
The eight-ox crossbow roared and flew out, together with the stone bullets thrown by the trebuchet, ruthlessly destroying everything on the battleship, no matter whether it was people or things, if they hit them, there was little way to go except death.

On the surface of the sea with a radius of tens of kilometers, there is a chaotic battle. The warships of the two fleets are fighting each other, fighting desperately. The merchant ships are constantly accelerating. There are too many defenseless merchant ships. If it is entangled, there is no other way but to be sunk.
Among the caravan, ships equipped with long-range weapons sailed out without hesitation, and faced the enemy ships with far superior equipment.

The distance between Dengzhou and Dingzhou is constantly approaching, and Pang Jun is indeed unparalleled in the grasp of changes in ocean currents and wind directions. In the repeated competition for positions, Yin Ning is forced to lose the wind step by step , after the two giant ships of thousands of materials experienced mutual long-range strikes, the topmost buildings were destroyed in sevens and eighties. The rockets fired over ignited the oil tanks thrown by the trebuchet, and the ships ignited a fire , The sailors carried sandbags and rushed to the fire site, covering the fire with sand.
"Keep a distance from the opponent!" Yin Ning yelled loudly, "Hold him, General Deng will arrive soon." After fighting for an hour, Yin Ning already understood that both sides are equal in strength. , I am really not the other party's opponent.But now, it is really unwise for him to be forced to give up his own advantages and fight one-on-one with his opponent.

The Dingzhou began to retreat, and the Dengzhou followed closely.

Pang Jun understands that if he wants to find a way out in this mortal battle, he must first sink this gigantic ship, and then leave quickly when the opponent's reinforcements arrive. His strategy is to succeed Yes, the first step successfully forced Yin Ning to divide his troops, and entered into a single fight with himself.
After the last naval battle, Pang Jun understood that the opponent's combat method is the correct way to use the giant ship, but he didn't have time to practice. If you imitate others, you can only draw tigers instead of anti-dogs. Instead of learning the strengths of others, you will abandon your own strengths.
If you can't use the correct combat method, then find a way to make your opponent fall into the wrong combat mode. This is Pang Jun's thinking.If only two fleets are fighting, Pang Jun's idea is impossible to succeed, but in today's situation, it is very possible. It is impossible for Yin Ning to abandon the transport fleet and deal with him. In this case, Yin Ning can only fight with himself, and this is his favorite combat mode.
Pang Jun achieved his goal, but he underestimated his opponent.

The goal of quickly sinking the opponent was not achieved. Although Yin Ning was at a disadvantage, he was defeated without chaos, and he reacted immediately, and began to try his best to delay time. Among them, the Southern Army Navy has fallen into a disadvantage. The Dingzhou Navy itself has an advantage in the number of ships, and some armed merchant ships have bravely joined in, making the battle even more in favor of the opponent, and the glimmer of hope for victory lies in the He was able to sink the huge ship Dingzhou in front of him.

Pang Jun rushed forward desperately to attack, regardless of the fact that there were two [-] warships around his ship attacking him.

Yin Ning had calmed down at this time. Although the hull was severely damaged, the raging fire had not been extinguished, and the entire ship was shrouded in black smoke, but the Dingzhou was too big. It is obviously not an easy task to sink by itself.

"Hold him!" Yin Ning ordered loudly, and the Dingzhou sailed away from the transport ship, and the Dengzhou chased after him.
"General Deng, look!" Zhuang Youbao pointed to the distance, where thick smoke was billowing, and countless warships were still fighting. "It's them!" Zhuang Youbao shouted.

Deng Peng's face was calm, and the final battle came.
He stood up from the chair on the bridge, drew out the saber in his waist, and pointed towards the direction of the battlefield, "Dingzhou Navy, move forward!"
Seeing the countless Dingzhou navy coming across the sea, Pang Jun let out a long sigh. After all, luck was not on his side. He glanced at the high flag of the Dingzhou navy with some envy. Yin Ning, a name he had never heard of before, was able to fight with him until this moment. After several hours of delay, he could not achieve his goal, and finally waited for the reinforcements to arrive.Seeing the flag with Deng character fluttering on the Kaitai, Pang Jun knew that his biggest enemy was coming.

The Kaitai issued a signal, and Yin Ning's Dingzhou began to retreat. Here, it will be handed over to Deng Peng, and he will turn around, gather his own fleet, and send Pang Jun's scattered ships into the sea. The State was severely damaged, but it still had enough power to deal with those small and medium ships.

Pang Jun did not bother Yin Ning's Dingzhou, which was of no use. If it must be a failure, he would rather be defeated by Deng Peng, and Dengzhou greeted Kaitai without hesitation.

Two miles later, the Kaitai turned to the left, exposing the entire flank, and at the same time, twenty windows on the side were suddenly opened, and the black muzzles of twenty Shenwei cannons protruded from the windows.
"Adjust the shooting range!"

"aim!"

"shooting!"

An earth-shattering roar sounded from the Kaitai, and puffs of thick smoke soon covered the Kaitai. Yin Ning, who was retreating, opened his mouth wide and watched the astonishing scene not far away from him. If he lived on the bridge, he was afraid he would just sit on the ground.
