C1039 Mournful and Mournful (1/2)

The distance of two thousand meters was not far, the two fleets charged head-on and soon crossed paths. The Esmeralda and Huaska were actually close to each other at a distance of ten meters, and at that moment, the commanders of both fleets could see the fire in each other's eyes without the use of binoculars.

”Fire …” ”Fire …” Almost at the same time, the commanders of the two fleets gave the order, and the center of the battlefield erupted into flames.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Left side s against Left side s, at that moment all the light weapons started firing. 24 lb main cannons, 16 lb side cannons, 12 lb fast cannons … In addition, the large quantity of Hutchison's Rapid Fire and the Gatling heavy machine gun's attacks on their opponents were like madmen. ”Roar!” ”Roar!” ”Roar!” ”Roar!” ”Roar!” ”Roar” ”…”

A torrent of firepower at such a close distance was simply not something a 20-30 mm armor could withstand. The iron armor on the explosion surface was completely overturned, and the inside of the wooden shell had been blown into a huge hole. Shrapnel flew around inside the battleship, harvesting lives.

At the same time, the two battleships that were hit by the bullets shivered on the sea, causing their bodies to tilt in a strange manner.

At the critical moment, the tonnage was still large. The Esmeralda, which had a thick armor, had the advantage. The Huaska's boiler room had been hit by two bullets in a row, and the high-pressure steam boiler suddenly exploded.

The sailors that were burned by the high temperature were crying out, and the burning coal was sprayed everywhere along with the explosion. They landed on the sea and produced white smoke.

”Well done! God is on our side... ” The command room of the Esmeralai was filled with cheers, but at this time, the Peru Iron-armored Ship Sun on the starboard side of the ship fired a round of cannons, blasting the starboard side, which was already riddled with holes, into thick smoke.

The most terrifying thing was a cannonball that was fired right in the middle of the command room. The huge explosion knocked out all the military officers. When the smoke cleared, the sailors realized that the entire command room was deathly silent.

The battle at sea had already reached its climax, as the Peru's flagship, the Huascar, began to tilt, as tons of seawater poured into the cabin. Countless sailors jumped from the deck into the sea, holding onto the wreckage of the wooden planks as they swam desperately towards the shore.

However, the most fortunate thing was that the commander of the Peru was still alive. A dozen or so officers escorted the admiral on a lifeboat and headed towards the nearest Iron-armored Ship Lima. Soon, the flagship flag was raised, and the command system of the Peru was barely able to recover.

Turning back to look at the Chile Navy, the Esmeralda was still fighting tenaciously on the sea, the cannons on both sides were desperately firing, but without a commander, they no longer knew where to go.

”Fire …” Sinking Esmeralda! Victory must belong to us! ” Like a pack of wolves, the Peruvian Navy began to besiege the Chile's flagship.

It was already 9: 10 in the morning. The war on the sea was fierce, and the battles on the land were going crazy. The army of the Chile that was charging around like crazy started to storm the city.

The field gun was pushed forward again and again, the cannons increased their firing speed to provide suppressive firepower to the brave warriors in front of them. The grenadier who were holding onto the explosive package bravely advanced forward, staring at the enemy's bullets as they stuffed the explosive package into the foundation of the fort.

This was a battle of life and death, the Musketeers on the fortress shot down like crazy, the grenadier died one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom! There were finally explosive packs ignited, but the result was not ideal. As too many grenadier had died during the charge, the number of explosive packs at the base was limited, so it was difficult to create a large gap.

”Another twenty brothers, follow me and charge!” At this critical moment, Tang Lei was about to charge forward regardless of his own life or death, but in the end, he was pushed down to the ground by the veteran at the back.
