Without sonar detectors, submarines were almost blind.
And the submarines of the western world were even more blind. So every time they wanted to fire a torpedo, they needed to float up and then extend a long tube through the crystal telescope to aim.
Even when shooting, they also proposed an even more exaggerated aiming method.
That was to use the strong light of the scorching sun crystal to aim underwater. Once it shone on the target, a red light would appear.
This already had the taste of the laser sight of a modern gun.
Unfortunately, it had not taken shape yet, so it could not be used in this naval battle.
In short, the wisdom of man was endless.
Including the rough gyroscope that Yang Dingtian proposed, it had also been created.
However, this time, it could not enter the actual battle, so it could not be loaded with torpedoes. There were still many problems that had not been solved.
But in short, Yang Dingtian's current crude submarine was like a blind man during the night.
And when the special crystal telescope aimed at the energy array of the enemy's underwater crystal, a dazzling red spot would appear.
This was definitely an unexpected surprise. This also made it possible for the blind submarine of the western world to participate in the battle at night.
However, the vast sea was simply too big. At least the initial range of the enemy's ship needed to be indicated in the air. Otherwise, looking for the red spot of the crystal energy array in the vast sea would definitely be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Now, Yang Dingtian finally understood that the so-called naval battle in the current chaotic world was actually completely the style of a land battle.
The two armies faced each other, arranged their troops, and then each formation attacked.
The flying mounts of the western army fleet in the air quickly detected that more than a thousand warships of the central continent had once again set off from the left and right wings, outflanking the western fleet from the rear.
Then, hundreds of Martial Mystic level and above experts immediately dived into the water and rang the energy bell.
The reason why they dived into the water to ring was to hide.
The submarine troops that were lurking on the way immediately received the signal. Their hiding position was basically calculated in advance. It was probably the area where the central continent fleet was most likely to pass through.
At this time, the signal came. Although their hiding position was not very accurate, it was only a few dozen miles away.
The two submarine troops on the left and right immediately sneaked towards the designated position.
It was stealthy and fast.
As for sneaky, it was basically an adjective.
This was because Yang Dingtian's submarine basically did not make any noise. Because it was powered by crystals, it basically did not make any noise.
Even on Earth, this submarine would definitely be considered low-noise. Furthermore, there was no sonar in the Chaos Realm, nor any detection tools, so even if one shouted in the submarine, it would not be a problem.
Under the high-speed cruising of the submarine, they soon arrived at the designated location.
Then, these submarines began to boldly surface and began to search for the special red spots brought about by the enemy's crystal energy array in the crystal telescope.
At this time, the Central Continent fleet was only less than ten miles away from the hidden submarines.
However, it was night time after all. Even if the submarine floated to a certain position, their field of vision was still pitch black.
The only way was to search for the crystal energy formation at the bottom of the enemy ship.
Speaking of which, the enemy ship definitely had a lot of crystal energy arrays.
This was because every warship had a huge crystal energy array, which served as the main driving force of the warship.
In addition, more than ten medium-sized crystal crossbows had been set up underwater.
Therefore, the area of the red spot produced by the energy array was quite large.
Therefore, after a few minutes of searching, the submarine fleet began to discover red spots one after another. Discovering red spots meant that they had discovered enemy ships.
Speaking of which, the submarine warfare at this time was definitely very, very low-level.
This was because they could not coordinate and command, because the submarines could not communicate with each other.
It was not that they could not communicate with each other at all. The few submarines that were closer could still communicate with each other.
There were two ways to communicate. The first was the underwater energy clock, and the other was the Light Crystal Array.
The former was a small energy clock, and only the surrounding ten or so submarines could hear this energy clock.
The latter was to embed the Light Crystal Array on the four sides of the submarine, ensuring that the light emitted by the Light Crystal Array could be seen from any direction.
Then, the light would shine and send out a specific signal.
Therefore, the submarine fleet of the Western Region was basically ten to fifteen submarines per team.
Between the teams, there was still command and cooperation.
However, above the surface, they had to completely listen to the commands of the surface.
Therefore, basically, the underwater teams were fighting for themselves. It was very difficult to cooperate.
Moreover, it was night. Although the submarines could still release light buoys, in order to hide, the surface of the water basically did not participate in the command of this ambush. The entire battle power was given to the underwater submarines to freely play.
Therefore, the following strange scene appeared.
After these submarines locked onto their targets, they could fire their torpedoes at any time.
This time, no one would send out an attack signal. The first explosion was the automatic signal to start the battle.
In other words, no matter who fired the first torpedo, it would be the signal to start the battle.
However, the strange thing was that no one fired a torpedo.
Of course, it was not out of pity, but because they wanted to find better conditions.
Therefore, this group of bastard submarines actually did not open fire. They chased after their targets, desperately approaching, approaching, and approaching.
Next, these submarines would discover that their comrades had locked onto the same target as them.
Therefore, at this time, a submarine would retreat and go back to search for the next target.
This group of bastards had fought too much during the day, and they actually wanted to have an even more enjoyable time at night.
However, this made the people on the surface of the water extremely anxious.
In Yang Dingtian's flagship, all the higher-ups began to worry anxiously.
Why hadn't the first explosion sounded yet?
Why hadn't they opened fire yet?
This was impossible. Logically speaking, the submarines should have already approached the enemy fleet. They should have opened fire 15 minutes ago at the latest.
"Is it because they really can't find the target at night?" Zhu Hongxue couldn't help but ask.
"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. The enemy fleet is too big of a target. It shouldn't be hard to find them," Qiu Wanjie said.
"Could it be that the enemy already has underwater weapons and has launched an attack on our submarines?" Zhu Hongxue said worriedly.
"Impossible. Even if our submarines were attacked, there would definitely be a sound," Song Chunhua said. "There's no sound at all now."
"Logically speaking, they should have opened fire 15 minutes ago, but they still haven't opened fire. Is it because they haven't received the order, so no one dares to open fire?" Qiu Wanjie said.
Yang Dingtian shook his head. "That's impossible. The massacre during the day has raised the morale of the submarines.
Previously, when we said that we would give them the authority to fight underwater, their eyes were not filled with fear, but excitement. "
"Then, then what's going on? This is really making me anxious," Qiu Wanjie said.
Yang Dingtian said, "Perhaps, perhaps this group of daring enemies felt that their position was not good enough and wanted to kill in one blow, so they kept adjusting and following …"
"This, this is too daring …" Qiu Wanjie said. "They, they were just lowly sailors before."
"It's precisely because they were lowly sailors before that they couldn't show off. Now that there's a stage for them to show off, and in this enclosed underwater space, anyone would go crazy. They are holding their breath, clenching their teeth, and bringing the most glorious battle results to us," Yang Dingtian said.
At this time, the Central Continent flagship received the signal from the two flanking fleets, saying that they were almost a hundred miles away from the western fleet.
The Central Continent flagship instantly cheered loudly. This meant that the enemy's gunships and submarines were definitely blind in the night. There was no way for them to block the two flanking fleets of the Central Continent fleet.
Once they completed the encirclement, they would gradually press forward and use the astronomical number of crystal crossbows to shoot.
In an instant, they could use the most glorious and spectacular scene to completely destroy the entire western fleet.
Only in this way could they regain their face.
"Haha, Yang Dingtian, this clown's submarines and gunships are indeed small tricks that can't be used in public. In one night, they were completely destroyed …" Zhu Qingzhu said with a loud laugh.
Of course, these were not his true thoughts, but he had to say these words.
"That's right, tomorrow morning, it will be the time when the western fleet is completely destroyed," the Central Continent navy chief said with a loud laugh.
"Cheers for the sect leader …"
"Cheers for the sect leader …"
Instantly, all the chiefs raised their cups and cheered.
"Hong …" Suddenly, there was a loud explosion on the surface of the sea.
Instantly, everyone's expression changed. The cup in Zhu Qingzhu's hand trembled slightly.
Then, everyone rushed out at lightning speed.
Instantly, a hundred miles away from the Northeast sea, a fireball soared into the sky.
The faces of all the chiefs of the Central Continent instantly became incomparably ugly. They all held their breaths.
But after a long while, nothing happened. There was no explosion, no strange movement.
The Central Continent navy chief said, "Everyone, there's no need to worry. This is an accident, a complete accident!"
Everyone felt relieved and agreed one after another.
But, just as he finished speaking.
"Boom boom boom boom …"
"Boom boom boom boom boom …"
Almost at the same time, hundreds of fireballs suddenly soared into the sky.
Hundreds of explosions sounded at the same time.
The first loud sound just now was really like a signal.
Once it started, it really couldn't be stopped.
Next, the entire sea was completely boiling.
In the night, this scene was even more spectacular.
The fireworks produced by the explosion of thousands of torpedoes was really shocking.
The explosion of each firework represented the destruction of a warship.
The scene of this naval battle was much more gorgeous than the submarine battle during the day.
The group of beasts in the submarine chased for more than half an hour, and they were still picking and choosing their targets. They even chased the targets to within four or five miles.
In fact, they still wanted to endure it. They couldn't wait to divide the three warships evenly between them before they opened fire.
But they couldn't not open fire because the enemy's two flanks were almost parallel to the western fleet. At that time, they couldn't distinguish between the enemy and themselves.
Therefore, they had no choice but to open fire.
Thus, one of the submarines finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Damn it, I'm almost sticking to this warship. I'm only three or four miles away.
Usually, it's already amazing to let you aim. Now, I'm directly aiming at the big chrysanthemum of the warship, which is the largest crystal energy array.
You still don't want me to shoot. I really can't bear it anymore.
I don't care anymore.
Thus, the submarine suddenly fired four torpedoes.
Then, without even looking, he directly aimed at the next warship. He had already fixed his eyes on that target.
And after the first loud sound.
Almost all the submarine troops heaved a sigh of relief. They finally opened fire. I've already taken several positions to aim, from the chrysanthemum to the butt, to the lower abdomen, to the chest. I've aimed at everything I can.
Moreover, there was no limit to the best battle environment and time.
Therefore, after the first loud sound, all the submarines couldn't bear it anymore.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
All the submarines shot out all the torpedoes in their launch tubes.
After shooting out, they didn't even look. Damn it, at such a close distance, they had already aimed for half an hour. If they still couldn't hit it, they would directly slit their throats.
After shooting out the first wave of torpedoes, they immediately changed their direction and aimed at the next target. They had already set their eyes on it for a long time. If they were a bit later, it would definitely be snatched by the other beasts.
Thus, the beautiful scene above appeared.
The hit rate of the torpedoes this time was really high.
After shooting out, there was an 80% chance that it would directly hit the chrysanthemum. In an instant, these warships would lose their power and be directly torn apart from the rear.
Actually, there was a better way to destroy the enemy. Directly shoot at the heart of the enemy warship, ensuring that it would be torn apart from the middle. If they were lucky, they could even directly throw the warship into the air, shattering it and killing countless people.
But the Sect Leader had said that they should try to destroy the warships, but kill less people. Therefore, shooting the chrysanthemum was the best way.
Therefore, the first wave of attack directly destroyed 200 warships. 80% of them had their chrysanthemums exploded.
…
In the first wave, hundreds of warships exploded and were instantly destroyed.
This result scared the Central Continent Fleet and the Western Continent Fleet to the core.
What, what kind of battle did these beasts fight?
In the day, the light was so good, but the first wave barely sank 20 to 30 warships.
At night, you hit 200 ships with your first wave.
More than 200 fireworks exploded at the same time.
"Long live …" The entire Western Province Fleet cheered loudly.
"F * * k …" The one who cursed was from the Cannon Fleet.
In the day, they were too glorious. 50 warships sinking 200 of the enemy's warships. They really felt good about themselves.
But at night, the submarine fleet sank so many warships in the first wave.
This, wasn't this a slap in the face?
"F * * k, if the Sect Leader didn't temporarily focus on these broken iron cans, how could we be as impressive as them?"
A Cannon Fleet Commander said sourly, "Just wait. The Sect Leader said that in the future, the navy will still mainly rely on Cannon Fleet. He wants to build a giant warship with hundreds of cannons. At that time, our glorious days will come. Those submarine monsters will eat our dust."
"Yes, yes, let them be proud for a while. In the future, it will still be our world." Everyone said.
…
When the Central Province Fleet saw this scene, their liver trembled.
This, what the f * * k were they shooting at?
They must have discussed it beforehand. They must have directly pressed the bombs on their warships and exploded.
Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? Hundreds of fireballs exploded at the same time, and then one to two hundred warships fell silent at the same time.
However, this was only the beginning.
Next, the crazy performance of the submarines began.
After shooting the first wave, the submarines immediately aimed at the second target and immediately shot out.
This time, it would be better if they could hit the chrysanthemum, but it didn't matter if they couldn't. The belly of the ship was bigger.
Moreover, after shooting, they couldn't ignore it.
After shooting, they immediately injected the torpedo into the launch tube. At this time, the torpedo in front had not reached the target and had not exploded.
They aimed at the target again and fired from other directions.
After the first wave of explosion.
It was quiet for a few minutes, making people think that the battle was about to stop.
The second wave of explosion sounded again.
On the dark sea, a gorgeous fireworks performance erupted again.
However, this time, it wasn't so neat, and there weren't so many.
The hit rate directly dropped by half.
However, it was still absolutely shocking. Hundreds of warships were directly hit.
Moreover, the second wave of attacks was much crueler.
Many of them were directly torn apart from the middle. The soldiers on the ships were instantly smashed into pieces and thrown into the air.
Moreover, some warships didn't fall silent after being hit. Soon, the second and third waves of torpedoes followed closely behind. They were completely smashed into pieces.
After the third wave and the fourth wave.
The battle on the sea was finally no longer neat.
It was completely chaotic. Explosions rose and fell one after another.
The Central State Fleet didn't sink wave by wave, nor did hundreds of fireworks bloom at the same time.
Basically, there were explosions everywhere. There was silence everywhere.
One ship after another.
During the day, the water ghosts under the warships could still shoot crystal crossbows to destroy the torpedoes.
At night, they became completely blind. They shot randomly with their eyes closed. It was really strange that they could hit this time.
Moreover, at night, after the two flanks of the Central State Fleet were attacked, they were even more miserable than during the day. They were completely in a mess.
All the ships fled in all directions.
However, on the ground, once the enemy began to retreat, it would be very difficult to destroy them.
However, this was the sea, and large warships were very cumbersome.
Once they began to flee in all directions, the only result was that all the ships were jammed together and no one could move.
Thus, the western army's submarine force felt good.
They were all packed together in a dense cluster. Every shot was accurate.
That feeling was so good that they couldn't stop.
Next, there were even some submarines that created a miracle of sinking two warships with one torpedo.
No one could save the more than a thousand warships of the Central State Fleet in the night battle!
… …
On the flagship, when Zhu Qingzhu saw that the ordinary warships were already burning, he knew that the battle was over.
During the day, there were still two to three hundred ships that escaped. This time, they were destined to be completely wiped out.
There was no need to look. This time, they were completely wiped out. They were defeated even more miserably than during the day!
"Sect Master, should we send the Golden Eagle Legion?" The navy commander said in a trembling voice, "Go, go and save the two flanks?"
"How?
Let the Golden Eagle Legion carry those warships back, or dive into the water and destroy the Central State Fleet's submarines? "Zhu Qingzhu said indifferently.
The Central State Fleet's commander trembled and was speechless. He muttered to himself, "Aren't submarines even more invisible at night?
How is that possible?
How is that possible? "
At this moment, seeing that all the leaders were looking at Zhu Qingzhu strangely, the navy commander immediately knelt down and said, "Sect Master, this defeat is all my fault. Please punish me severely!"
At this moment, as the commander of the navy, he naturally had to share Zhu Qingzhu's burden.
Zhu Qingzhu looked at him indifferently and patted his shoulder lightly. Then, he returned to the cabin with a pale face.
… …
The battle continued, but the explosions were getting sparser and sparser. The fireballs were getting fewer and fewer.
That was because the two flanks of the Central State Fleet were getting smaller and smaller.
It was even more difficult for the warships to escape at night.
The Central State Fleet couldn't stop the sinking of the warships one by one.
The Central State Fleet was no longer watching. Their morale was at an all-time low.
As for the Western Fleet, they were in high spirits.
Even if the scene wasn't as big as before, they could only watch as the warships sank one by one.
However, even if there was less meat, it was still a dish.
Thus, for a few hours, the cheers on the surface of the sea never stopped.
"Long live the Sect Master, long live the Sect Master …"
Although the start of the battle was very neat and beautiful.
However, towards the end, it became incomparably long. Especially the last hundred warships that escaped.
The three hundred submarines chased them for two to four hours. In the end, twenty to thirty warships managed to escape.
The three hundred submarines couldn't wait to charge into the Central State Fleet.
In the end, the Western Fleet had no choice but to sound the retreat signal.
The entire night battle, starting at night, lasted for a total of eight hours. It only ended in the wee hours of the morning.
The Central State Fleet sent out a total of one thousand and three hundred warships to surround them. In the end, only a few dozen warships managed to escape. It could be said that they were completely wiped out.
There was no doubt that this time, they had suffered a great loss.
The Central State Fleet had over ten thousand warships, but most of them were troop carriers.
There were only about three thousand five hundred warships. In one day and one night, two thousand five hundred warships were sunk.
The Central State Fleet only had about a thousand warships left.
They were actually tied with the Western Fleet. Of course, the number of warships was a tie. However, in terms of tonnage, they were three to four times more than the Western Fleet.
However, the Western Fleet had submarines and warships, so they didn't suffer too much losses. Moreover, they still had their trump card, the kerosene barrels, that hadn't been used yet.
Therefore, this battle actually produced a situation that Yang Dingtian didn't expect.
Unexpectedly, inexplicably, with just the warships and submarines, they were almost able to wipe out the entire Central State Fleet.
However, Yang Dingtian only wanted to train his troops. He didn't want to achieve any great results.
…
The entire sea surface was densely packed with people.
Even though the Central State Fleet had lost a lot of people in this battle.
However, there were still tens of thousands of people who were struggling on the surface of the sea, holding onto the broken boards of their ships.
They desperately looked at the Central State Fleet in the distance, hoping that they would come and save them.
However, the Central State Fleet was completely silent. There was no response.
Therefore, these wounded soldiers gradually lost all hope, waiting for death to come.
At this time, there was suddenly a dense wave of cries in the air.
Then, several thousand winged cavalry warriors flew out from the Western Fleet. They flew above their heads and grabbed them with their claws. Then, they soared into the air and flew behind the Western Fleet.
There, there were several thousand different types of simple and crude ships, densely packed together.
The flying beasts placed these wounded soldiers on these ships. Then, there were immediately people who came to take care of them, bandaging their wounds, and bringing them food.
The wounded soldiers of Central State stared blankly at all this. They allowed the soldiers of the Western Fleet to bandage their wounds, apply medicine, and pour hot food into their mouths.
Suddenly, not only did their bodies gradually heat up, but their hearts also gradually heated up.
Then, tears surged out of their eyes.
They didn't expect that after being defeated, they would be hugging a piece of wood on the sea, waiting for Zhu Qingzhu to come and save them.
After waiting for several hours, their own people didn't come to save them. When they were waiting for death in despair, Yang Dingtian's people came to save them.
Looking at the densely packed ships, everyone knew that Yang Dingtian had mobilized these ships to save people.
In the entire Western Fleet, there were only a few hundred ships.
However, there were several thousand ships used to save people.
No one came to brainwash them. No one said how righteous the Western Fleet was, or how great Sect Master Yang Dingtian was.
And these wounded soldiers of Central State suddenly burst into tears.
…
The battle was completely over.
All the submarines had returned.
However, everyone in the Western Fleet was still incomparably excited.
All the soldiers were sent to their beds to sleep by the officers' clubs.
The flagship of the Western Fleet was still brightly lit.
"Sect Master, I suggest that we launch an all-out attack tomorrow." The commander of the Divine Weapons Manor and the Western Fleet said.
"Tomorrow?" Song Chunhua said, "Are you confident?"
"Yes. Although the enemy still has more than ten thousand ships, there are only about a thousand true warships.
The troop transport ships are slow and only have a small number of crystal crossbows. Their combat ability is very ordinary. As long as we destroy the thousand warships of Central State, the ten thousand troop transport ships will have nowhere to go. They can only be slaughtered like fish! "Qiu Wanjie said loudly," Tomorrow's battle will definitely be able to destroy the Central State Fleet in one fell swoop! "
