Chapter 269 Naval Battle Deduction
Xu Man suppressed the unstable emotions in the college league with a tough attitude.Now she has grasped all the military institutions under the alliance, and her position is still very stable without major mistakes.

Da Liang has now built 220 single-masted warships in the four military port shipyards, which has given Xu Man great confidence.Two days later, a new fleet was established and left the port, and the entire sea area was the hunting ground for the Cloud Fleet and the Judgment Fleet.

The Black Fire Fleet continued to stop in the north of the Lord's United Fleet under the banner of the Pudong Fleet. According to the information provided by the Judgment Corps, Da Liang used a model to set up the formation of the United Fleet on the tactical chart, and then worked with Sidney to deduce what would happen in two days. Naval battles took place.

During the deduction, Da Liang commanded the Lords United Fleet, and Sidney commanded the Blackfyre Fleet.

Seeing that the opponent turned out to be a fleet dominated by single-masted warships, Sidney said: "If your lord only has one three-masted warship and two two-masted warships, I can command the Blackfire Fleet to destroy your fleet. "

Da Liang pointed to the single-masted battleships outside the Lord's United Fleet and said, "I still have 80 single-masted battleships, and their firepower far surpasses that of the Blackfyre Fleet."

Sidney shook his head and said: "If whoever has the most artillery in a naval battle has the advantage, what does the Pudong Fleet still do to build battleships? The cost of a battleship is enough to build dozens or hundreds of sloops. These sloops It can be equipped with more artillery than a battleship. My lord, please see!"

Sidney asked the Blackfire Fleet to form a battle line, and then used a single-masted battleship to set up a battle line, saying: "Naval warfare is more about the ability to project firepower within an area. The real effective bombardment is at 200 meters to 300 meters. In terms of distance. After my Black Fire Fleet opened up the battle line at sea, only about ten sloops could attack the Black Fire Fleet within the artillery engagement range, and the other sloops could not attack us due to the shooting angle. No amount of firepower is wasted.

The ten single-masted battleships have fifty artillery pieces, but all of our 90 artillery pieces on one side can exert their power, and the firepower is nearly twice that of the opponent.

The role of a single-masted warship in the navy is to detect and establish a tactical separation zone, so it pays more attention to speed, and its defense is the weak point of the single-masted warship.The two-masted warship is a conventional combat ship, and it pays more attention to defense. Our warship completely crushes the one-masted warship in terms of defense capability.

Therefore, fighting a sloop with a brig and a three-masted battleship is basically to die.

For example, this deduced naval battle.After entering the battlefield, I used the "Skeleton Soldiers" and "Skeleton Warriors" with relatively strong defense capabilities as the first and tail ships of the fleet, close to the coastline and approach the enemy fleet, so that the enemy fleet could not attack us from the front and rear.

In an exchange of fire on the battle line, the enemy fleet will soon find that fighting us with a sloop is a victory for us, and even if the barque and two brigs are sent up, they are not our opponents. .

Their only recourse was to sail out to sea, lure us away from the coast, and attack us from head to tail with the speed of a sloop.

If they change their course and sail to the open sea and there is confusion, we can directly rush in and defeat them.

If their front remains intact.

We can avoid the situation where the head and tail are attacked by taking a serpentine route.

Again, their firepower cannot be used, and even if they occupy some favorable positions, they will not be able to threaten us.

In short, the performance of the warships of the two sides is too different. As long as we can maintain a good formation and keep an eye on their three capital ships, we will have no problem defeating this fleet dominated by single-masted warships without losing air supremacy. "

Kao!

In Sidney's mouth, this fleet showing off its power on the sea is like a chicken and a dog. Any number is just a cloud, and it can be crushed directly.

But with the seven warships of the Black Fire Fleet, is it really no problem to fight over 80 ships from the Lords United Fleet?
"Can the Black Fire Fleet really win so many ships?"

Sidney said confidently: "As long as we don't make major mistakes, we can defeat them. Of course...if your lord wants to wipe them out, you still need a large number of single-masted warships to cooperate. After all, the enemy fleet is fast. The single-masted battleship is the main force, if we escape, our warships will not be able to catch up."

If the Blackfyre Fleet can really crush the Lord's United Fleet, the Cloud Fleet and Judgment Ship will only play in the later stage, which will reduce a lot of losses.

In order to prove Sidney's statement, Da Liang used the lord's combined fleet to conduct deduction with Sidney on the tactical chart.

Sure enough, as Sidney said, as long as the Blackfyre Fleet makes good use of the terrain or takes a serpentine route, there are far more warships in the Great Bright Sky than the Blackfyre Fleet, but most of them can only watch the battle.And Sidney can even use big mistakes and shifts, so that the United Fleet can only invest in eight warships to fight the Black Fire Fleet.

No battleship could withstand the attack of the Black Fire Fleet, and the unrepressed Black Fire Fleet was fully fired. The Lord's United Fleet could only use refueling tactics to fill the battleships in the middle of the battlefield one by one.And many of the single-masted warships that Da Liang put into the battlefield would be sunk if they couldn't even find their positions, it was like queuing up to die.

After going back and forth several times, the lord's combined fleet commanded by Da Liang ended in disastrous defeat, proving once again that naval battles are indeed the place where giant ships and cannons show their power.

Da Liang used his authority to check the naval battle plan formulated by the staff office, and estimated that 50-60 single-masted warships would be lost.

"Stop, stop, it doesn't cost money to build warships. If a warship sinks, it can't be fished out. Losing 60 single-masted battleships is a loss of 60 gold coins. The naval battle plan has to be redone. The mission of all single-masted battleships is to prevent the defeated lord Combined fleet fled to minimize losses."

The staff at the staff office asked in confusion: "Commander of the Great Bright Army, all of our single-masted battleships are preventing the defeated Lords' United Fleet from fleeing, so who will defeat them?"

Da Liang, who learned all the tactics and countermeasures from Sidney: "Of course it is the commander of the army. I borrowed two three-masted warships and five two-masted warships from the Pudong Fleet. When the time comes, I will be in charge of attacking the joint fleet of the lords, and you can just make a plan for the later encirclement and annihilation."

"Seven ships beat more than 80 ships, Mr. Da Liang...Did you drink too much?"

"I didn't drink, sober! Just make plans according to what I said. When the time comes, watch carefully, watch the video carefully, and watch this legion commander's textbook for you to stage a show. What is the victory of the weak against the strong? What is the level? Crushing. You staff officers, don’t think about winning by numbers, learn tactics, do you understand tactics?”

"Okay, you are the head of the legion, you have the final say."

Under Da Liang's order, the staff of the staff office began to re-formulate maritime tactics.

The two-masted merchant ship that transported the red dragon's body reported that they had docked at Shidongkou Wharf and were escorted by an undead army to Jiading City.
