Chapter Two Hundred and Eighty One

Jack Aubrey watched Lucky head towards the back of the fleet, and then ordered his messenger: ”Send Lucky a light and ask them if the target is behind them! How far away is there! ”

”Yes!” The messenger quickly passed the order to the signalman of the Lady Victory, and the Lantern word quickly went out...

And Lucky also quickly replied.

”Your Excellency Commander, Lucky said that the devil is about two nautical miles behind them, and it will come soon!” The messenger said and muttered, ”These cowards, actually called the Eastern ship in the signal. Toys made by man are demons...”

”Don't talk too much!” Jack Obery glanced at the soldiers dissatisfiedly. He knew that in the fleet, there were many rumors of this kind. The Lucky was a group of cowards who were scared by the Eastern toy warships. of.

As an overseas fleet stationed in India, they have seen a lot of merchant ships from the East. To be honest, those merchant ships are really not as good as the merchant ships of the Empire that never set the sun. They have nothing to do except that they are a little more stable when sailing. The advantages of, the speed is not fast, the load is not large...

This is also the reason for the spread of the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy.

But as the commander of the fleet, Jack Obery also has this kind of thinking, but he is still a little wary. He doesn't want to leave regrets because of carelessness in his command career. After all, the ship is a general The murderer to destroy Port Delas.

But he didn't care too much. After all, his friends had already said in the letter that although the firepower of the ship was fierce, the rate of fire was not fast, one shot per minute?And there are only twelve main guns?Where can the fierce firepower go?

Jack Aubrey thought of this and looked at the other Tier 1 battleship not far from his flagship. It was a war behemoth with 120 artillery pieces on the third deck.This is his pride and the capital of his rampage across the Indian Ocean.

I just don't know what kind of surprise the Eastern Warship, which is said to be very powerful, will bring you?Jack Aubrey couldn't help but touch the beard on his chin and smiled. Obviously, he didn't think he would lose to an unknown Eastern battleship with more than 70 warships.

”God, what the hell is that?”

The exclamation of the messenger interrupted Jack Aubrey’s thoughts. He hurriedly raised his eyes and saw that a huge battleship was slowly sailing out of the sea...You can’t see the mast of the sailing ship on its body. You can't see the deck of the ship, or even the naked or exposed deck.

What you can see is the muzzle of twelve black holes and the hull made of irregular polyhedrons...

The soldiers who were holding hooks on the deck and preparing for the battle were all dumbfounded, and the iron hook with the rope in their hands fell on the deck unknowingly, let alone that it was more than ten meters higher than their own ship. Ship's side, just say where will this weird polyhedron be hooked?How can this Nima climb up?

”Shoot————!!!” Jack Aubrey commanded loudly without much care.

”fire!”

…………

As the order was passed out one after another, the flagship of the Lady Victory opened fire first, and more than 60 artillery pieces on the three decks on one side opened fire at the same time, and the smoke filled the sea.

When other warships saw their flagships firing, they were unwilling to give orders to fire...

For a time, more than seventy battleships fired their guns at the same time. The scene was extremely spectacular. Sparks appeared in the open muzzle of the flanks of a wooden battleship, followed by gun smoke rising into the air.The mist that had already dispersed on the entire sea showed signs of thickening.

After two consecutive rounds of shelling salvos-

”...God...” Jack Aubrey looked at the scene in front of him, his mouth opened wide. He saw the dense shells hit the giant ship with howling noises, but he couldn't help but The outer surface of the battleship was not penetrated and fell into the sea one after another, without causing any damage to the huge ship...

”This, this is impossible...!” Jack Aubrey took the binoculars in his hand unwillingly and looked at it. After careful observation, he was even more desperate... The shell weighing more than ten pounds hit the giant ship. On the surface, there is not even a white spot...

At this moment, dozens of adult-arm-thin gun barrels were slowly stretched out from both sides of the huge ship. In Jack Aubrey’s desperate eyes, tongues of flame more than one meter long were spewed out——

”Da da da……”

The brisk sound of machine guns sounded, and the wooden battleships were like butter cut by a hot knife, and they were easily beaten into two pieces...

”Disperse... Retreat...” Jack Aubrey gave an order to retreat in frustration. He didn't think his fleet could defeat this monster, this monster from the East, one ship could ruin them all in the sea. .

The messenger has not given the order out, there are already warships who are not looking at things well, and set sail to escape...
