    Is madness also a strategy?

    Hong Yazi was stunned by Gu Xingdong's words.  After thinking for a long time, he still had to nod.  Although it feels a little inappropriate, for the time being, it seems that it is really the case!

    The current war seems to be the best interpretation of this statement.

    In fact, in the next few days of war, Gu Xingdong implemented this idea to the end.  In three days, Gu Xingdong fired 10 million shells like crazy!  Along the way, the road was completely opened with cannonballs.

    But the results were crazy.  The Xiaoyao faction's army is like an egg under a hammer, retreating and collapsing.

    In three days, the Xiaoyao Sect lost almost all of the Southern Tang Kingdom, leaving only the last few checkpoints and the border defense line between Dongfang and the Lingyun Kingdom - the Lingyun Kingdom, the birthplace of Feng Zhiling, formerly known as Lingfeng.  country.

    Not only that, the morale of the Xiaoyao faction has dropped to the extreme!  It must be uncomfortable to be beaten passively all the time.  Not to mention the heavy casualties.

    Under the crazy attack of artillery fire, only those in the Nascent Soul stage are qualified to save their lives, but this is only "qualified", which does not mean absolute.  You know, in the Qixia Kingdom's attack, in addition to artillery, there are also crossbows.

    The ballistae is specially designed for masters in the transformation stage and Nascent Soul stage.

    There are also sniper rifles. At close range, sniper rifles are enough to severely damage the Nascent Soul stage, causing them to lose their combat effectiveness, or their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

    In the past three days, on the battlefield of the Southern Tang Dynasty, more than half of the Xiaoyao faction's legions were killed or injured, and their morale was on the verge of collapse.  The continuous retreat resulted in a large loss of baggage, weapons, etc., to the Xuanzhen Sect.

    And in these three days, the Kingdom of Northern Tang regained its coastline.

    Under the cover of artillery, everyone's casualties were almost negligible.  Moreover, the morale was high, and a large amount of loot was obtained, which led to an even higher morale.

    Under the circumstances, the Xiaoyao faction's legions on the southern front were already in danger, and a sense of uneasiness began to spread within the army.

    The entire southern Xiaoyao faction is facing the problem of complete collapse of the front.

    This information was of course obtained by the Xuanzhen Sect.

    "This is the effect of ten million artillery shells!" Gu Xingdong from the Xuanzhen Sect said to Hongyazi with some pride, "If it were based on the previous confrontation, our expenditure would not be less than this, and there would be casualties.  Even more tragic.

    On the contrary, it was not as good as this, and we also got a lot of baggage, trophies, etc.  It even destroyed the enemy's morale!  "

    Hong Yazi continued to be stunned.  This world seems to be getting stranger and stranger!

    But it¡¯s not just the land that¡¯s crazy, it¡¯s also the sea.

    The Atlantic Fleet of Ocean Group and the Pearl Fleet of Qixia Kingdom have been searching the sea for several days.  However, the Sea Dragon Fleet of Xiaoyao Sect seems to have disappeared!

    On the vast sea, it is really difficult to find a fleet that is deliberately avoiding it.  Not to mention that practitioners also have cheating methods - hidden formations, wards, etc.

    In the vast sea, if you really make use of the hidden formation barrier, as long as the battleship stops and does not produce water marks, it can be easily hidden ten kilometers away.

    After searching for several days but not finding it, and having consumed more than half of the fuel, and being in the hinterland of the Xiaoyao Pai sea area, Zhao Yuhang proposed to return.

    "Agree to return!" Shu Bennan nodded.  It has been almost ten days since they came out, and the soldiers also need to take a rest.

    The two fleets continued to move in tandem and began to sail toward the west.

    But after sailing for only about half a day, the sailors on the observation deck suddenly shouted, "Suspicious things were found in the distance, suspected traces of formations!"

    Zhao Yuhang's eyes instantly became alert. He quickly flew up to the observation tower, and after just one glance, his expression changed drastically: "Prepare for war! Prepare for war! The fleet immediately turned around and headed south to seize the "D" position!

    Use auxiliary formations to assist the warship in turning, and do not reduce the speed!  "

    The auxiliary formation of turning is something that the fleet has never shown before.  The critical moment is enough to change the situation of the battle.

    For example, right now.

    About ten kilometers ahead, an abnormal wave shadow appeared, which looked a bit undulating.  This kind of fluctuation is not very obvious, but at this time the fleet is sailing to the west, and the sun's rays in the sky happen to be at the right angle, but it is visible.

    However, it is still not obvious and will be ignored if you are not paying attention.  After all, this is a formation arranged by the Holy Land, how could it be discovered so easily.  So this discovery is also due to the seriousness, sharp eyesight and responsibility of the sailors, and of course luck.Qi - Unless the angle of the sun in the sky is right, it would be really difficult to find it.

    And if it is discovered too late, the strong inertia of the battleship is enough to plunge into the encirclement.  The consequences could be disastrous.

    Fortunately, God seems to be on the side of Qixia Kingdom at this moment.  The strange angle of the sun actually exposed the traces of the formation.

    The fleet began to turn around, turning almost at a right angle of 90 degrees with the help of the formation.  After discovering the situation here, the people in front also responded. The stealth formation barrier suddenly disappeared, and a huge fleet appeared!

    Seeing this fleet, Zhao Yuhang¡¯s pupils shrank¡ªthere were six steel battleships, and there were actually two Zhenyuan-class ships among them!  In addition, there are a total of 20 black iron battleships.

    Behind the back, there are more than 500 skinned warships.

    All these ships have set up a "concave" battle formation, obviously waiting for the fleets of Qixia Kingdom and Dayang Group to take the bait.  The inner encirclement of this battle formation is thirty kilometers wide, enough to swallow up the battleships of Qixia Kingdom and Dayang Group.

    Seeing the formation ahead, Zhao Yuhang was frightened for a while. If the sailor hadn't discovered it, the fleet would have entered the encirclement and been attacked from all directions.

    But now, the fleet was lucky enough to discover it in advance and turned around ten kilometers outside the opponent's ambush circle.

    "We failed!" On the Xiaoyao faction and Hailong fleet, the fleet commander "Ting Songzi" roared angrily.

    As a rare talent of the Xiaoyao sect who is proficient in military affairs, Tingsongzi served as the commander of the 'new' Sea Dragon Fleet, and promoted Yan Zhen, the former governor of Surabaya Port of Langya Kingdom, as deputy commander, to jointly command this unprecedented fleet¡ª¡ª  At least the Xiaoyao sect has never done so before.

    And for today, Tingsongzi has been preparing for a long time and planning too much.

    He knew that the information could not be completely kept secret, so he released part of the information-four steel battleships.  In fact, after the sneak attack on the Weihai Fleet of the Xuanzhen Sect, the actual salvage and dismantling was beyond imagination.

    Although Lu Xuanyu, the commander-in-chief of the Weihai Fleet, also ordered the battleship to be bombed and sunk, the quality of the steel battleship was really great.  Most of the structure is intact.  There are only some problems with power, but many important components have also been dismantled.

    Later, Songzi ordered to continue bombing the remnants of the Weihai fleet in order to cover up his gains.

    During this period of time, the Xiaoyao faction worked together, and Wang Ruiyang was really capable. They actually repaired four Iron Duke-class steel battleships and two Zhenyuan-class steel battleships.

    The number of Xuantie battleships in the Xiaoyao faction's Hailong fleet has also increased to 20.

    Finally, more than 500 skinned warships were added.  After the last battle, Ting Songzi discovered that skinned warships were actually useful, for example, they could harass enemies on the periphery.

    These skinned warships can use small-caliber naval guns, and their range can reach more than ten kilometers.  When there are enough small-caliber attacks, they can still cause serious damage to the target.

    But all plans seemed to have come to nothing today.  Well, at least half of it failed.

    After seeing the opponent turn south, Ting Songzi made a quick decision: attack!  Don't give the enemy a chance to react.

    But when the Xiaoyao faction's Sea Dragon fleet prepared to attack, they were shocked to find that the opponent actually completed a U-turn in less than a minute!

    "As expected, Dayang Group still has a hand! It's still a very crucial hand!" Yan Zhen beside him said angrily.

    "Normal!" Listening to Songzi's expression, it would be strange if Dayang Group didn't spare any effort.  However, the current situation is indeed not optimistic.  They originally wanted to ambush the other side and did not want to be exposed in advance, but the fleets of Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom grabbed the 'D' position. This is not good news for the Sea Dragon Fleet!

    "However, the Sea Dragon Fleet also has an advantage, that is, it is already well prepared.  The moment the barrier was revoked, the naval cannons began to fire volleys - it would not work unless the barrier was revoked. The invisibility barrier would deflect the light and affect aiming.

    But the fleets of Dayang Group and Qixia Kingdom have richer combat experience.  Although it was sudden, the response was very quick: the defensive barrier was raised instantly, and the naval guns were fired immediately without aiming.

    The second sea showdown begins again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
