Chapter 2857 (1/2)
Even in the snow and icing on the cake are out, the fool knows how to choose.
”Then it's just the other side of the road.” Zhenhong said.
Although rose understood what I meant, she didn't start fighting immediately. Instead, she asked her assistant. ”Do you have any reference?”
”I can't help with that. It's limited information.”
”There's no way.” I said, ”let's take off first. Don't get close to the warships of both sides. Let's exchange fire first and check their general equipment before starting the battle. Although their cannons don't look very good, they're not very powerful weapons. I don't want to be damaged as soon as I enter the mission. ”
”For difficult tasks, caution is necessary.” Christina agrees with me.
We started to lift off according to my request. Although we did not leave the sight of the fleets on both sides, the meaning of not mixing was obvious. In fact, our behavior made the captains on both sides feel relieved, because when they found out that we could fly, they knew that we were both very powerful people, and both sides were worried that we were the other party's people, so they were all worried. However, our current behavior at least shows that we are not the people of each other, so they should be in a better mood. However, we are a hidden danger here after all, but under the current situation, they have no time to take care of us.
After our stance, the warships on both sides gradually entered the range. The two sides did not adopt any tactics such as seizing the upper air outlet. Instead, they set out a long snake array, and then approached each other in a figure of eight on the sea. I did not know that they were going to merge into a fleet. However, in fact, this is not to merge the fleet at all, but to form two columns and start to bombard each other.
Because the cannons of the sail warship are mainly concentrated on both sides, it is necessary to aim at the enemy side to attack. This mode of two sides' warships discharging two columns can just give full play to the firepower. Of course, the firepower of your own side is the largest, so this tactic usually occurs when both sides are hostile and the positions of both sides are not suitable for seizing the upper position. If you can seize the T-head position, most fleets will consider taking it. After all, such a position can ensure the maximum firepower of your side, but most of the enemy's artillery can't fire.
The fleets of the two sides were obviously of the type of deep feud like the sea, and when they met, they directly started the decisive battle, and even the transport ships did not fall down. Although those transport ships are engaged in transportation, the transport ships in these sailboats are not armed at all. They are only half as small as the cannons of warships. They are not completely unarmed, so the transporters are on the battle together at this time.
”Quick, quick, let's see your firepower.” Zhenhong can't wait to mumble in the sky.
Both sides seem to have heard the true red words, just as she finished the battle. The warships of the two sides almost as if they had made an appointment to fire at the same time almost in a second. When the distance between the two warships was only 70-80 meters, they fired in turn with side artillery. In a moment, we could see the fire and smoke in the middle of the fleets of both sides, accompanied by flying pieces of wood.
The warships of the two sides are basically similar in structure. The main warships are equipped with three layers of gun positions on one side, the highest one is deck gun position, and the lower two layers are in the cabin. The gun positions on the deck are slightly less. There are a row of twelve guns on the two lower floors. That is to say, there are more than 30 guns on one side of the warship, which is much more than that of modern warships. Of course, a modern warship can kill a fleet here with only one gun.
It seems that both sides use solid ammunition, because although the hit rate is astonishingly high, the damage is very common. After a round of bombing on both sides, each ship ate at least 10 or 20 shells, less than 80 meters away. Even this kind of front loaded artillery rarely deviates, and the hit rate is as high as 80%. In modern warfare, the ten or twenty shells that the other side hit were basically abandoned. After all, the modern shells are awesome, but the solid bombs on this side are obviously not so powerful. Although they had been hit by ten or twenty shells, most of the warships did not show any obvious changes. In addition to a lot of holes in the side of the ship, it felt like that.
After a round of shelling, the two sides had a tacit understanding to turn to both sides, and then the whole fleet fell in a direction and formed two columns again, and then began to fire with the cannons on the other side. However, this time, the shelling was not so neat. We all fired indiscriminately, some were fast and some were slow, and the firepower density was not the same. Some ships even fired a few shells sporadically. Of course, there are still tough types.
The two rounds of shelling looked flat, which was completely the standard sea battle mode of sail warships and front loading guns. It's confirmed that we're ready to start. However, just as we had just started and had not yet flown a few meters away, the largest ship in the fleet that we had planned to help gave us a shocking appearance directly.
Originally, this flagship ship was only a little bigger than other ships in this fleet, and there were more than a dozen guns. It doesn't seem like a big exaggeration. However, just after the two fleets finished firing on the other side, the flagship suddenly turned to the other side of the fleet, which was quite strange.After the second round of shelling, the later fleet turned outward as usual, and most of the ships in this fleet also turned outward. Only this flagship turned inward to make its bow point at one of the other's main ships. Then, in our astonished eyes, the dragon's head shaped bow of this flagship ship opened its mouth. Then, we saw a dazzling white light shooting out of the dragon's mouth, and directly hit the warship that was being aimed and turning with the speed of no less than artillery shells across the distance between the two.
If only a white light was emitted, it would not matter. The key is that the olive shaped beam, which looks like three or four meters long, exploded violently after hitting the warship. It was not a general violent explosion, but as if a large caliber explosive grenade with a diameter of more than 400 mm hit the middle of the ship directly. With the sound of the explosion, the warship was completely blown into pieces of wood in the blue and white flames, and even the two warships nearby were ignited by the flames.
”Shit, what is this?” As we were about to fly forward, we were startled.
Rose looked at Christina and asked, ”do you feel any magic?”
”Thunder is magic, but I have never seen this wave. I don't know what magic it is.” ”It could be some kind of spherical lightning or something,” Christina said
”But what I just saw was a beam of light.” Zhenhong said.
”Some spherical lightning is very bright, and when it moves at high speed, it leaves a shadow on the retina. It's like looking at a strong light for a few seconds, and even if you close your eyes, you can still see a white spot. That beam of light is just a shadow, actually a ball of light moving at high speed
”But it's a terrible power, isn't it?” Asked the gold coin.
